NEW YORK, May 6.—The genuine and only real American dance has made its appearance. It is a mod ernized version of the Hopi Indian girl's debutante dance and is called the Kachina, Albert Van Sand has made the few changes 'necessary to adapt it for modern ballrooms. Seen in his stu dio, Mr. Van Sand said: “It really was not a very easy matter to adapt an Indian dance, with its bizarre monotony, inte an acceptable dance that would fit into the accepted mod ern requirements. There were so many things to consider, not the least to conform the Indian jumps into the modern glide, and yet retain the at mosphere of the dance. Some of its ardent admirers have dubbed it the Indian maxixe. It is really easier to learn and even more graceful, I think, as it not only requires grace to dance it, but develops and creates it. The Kachina consists of only five steps— the Indian step, little run, hopi step, butterfly step, and the worship step. Throughout the dancers maintain a slightly crouching position. With the exception of two of the steps they are holding each other around the, waist, side by side, “The first step, the Indian, is so called because it represents the alert, watehful step of the red man. Little run is a short, quick run, which in its original form was a jumpy sort of high step, with a decided stamp on each beat. Of course, | had to elimi nate the jump, and the stamp simply finishes each littie run. 1 called the next step the hopi. It ig one the In dians use while marching around the fire. “These three steps are of somewhat similar execution, though of different tempo. The prettiest movement is the butterfly step, depicted in the pie ture, It is a graceful, airy, sinuous dance which is supposed to represent the flight of a butterfly. The wor ship, and last step, represents the sun-worship attitude of the Hopi In dian. “The whole dance is done in slow one-step time to the weird, monoto nous and yet seductive music of the Indian.” . .

J | | Declares It Would Be Colossal ' Blunder and Triumph for British Diplomacy. WASHINGTON, May 7.--Entering his solemn protest against what ho conceives to be a betrayal of the American people, Senator O'Gorman, of New York, chairman -of the Senate Committee on Interoceanic Canals, and reported author of the free tol's plank of the Baltimore platiform, in the Senate to-day declared that tho repeal of the free tolls clause of the Panama Canal act would be pro nounced by mankind “a colossal blunder and a triumph of British di plomacy.” He asserted that the British claim had neither law nor justice on its side, and he held President Wilson and the Democratic Administration to account for their abandonment of the free tolls plank., National honor, he held, must be founded upon national self-respect. Makes Three Points. Senator O'Gorman made his plea upon three main points, He sought to show, first, that the exemption of Anierican coastwise vessels from pay ment of tolls is a wise economic policy not affected by the Hay-Pauncefole treaty; second, that if coastwise ves sels fall within the terms of the treaty the exemption still does not violate that instrument; third, that the treaty does not apply to the Panama Canal, “because it was meant to apply enly to a canal built on alien soil, while the Panama Zone is under American sov erelgnty. In support of these contentlons, Senator O’Gorman marshaled an im - posing array of authorities on tha economics of American commerce, {ho history of the negotiation of the treaty itself and the interpretation of the treaty's terms, “We owe no debt of gratitude to England,” sald O’'Gorman. "“We exist 'as a nation not because of her friend ship, but in spite of her hostility. Gratitude of Liberty to Tyranny. “If we owe her any expression of gratitude, it is that which liberly owes to tyranny for opportunity-—the opportunity to wring from oppression a permanent separation and a glori ous independence, _“This bill is misnamed.
