NEW YORK DANCE HALLS,

-A `BAPTIST PASTOR'S

CHARGES.

The Rev. John Roach Straton, pastor of the fashionable Calvary Baptist Church, has becams in a night one of the chief figures in the controversy between the police and the Public Prosecutor as to the prevalence of vice in New York City.

In the course of a widely advertised sermon which he preached on Sunday the Rav. J. Straton told in graphic detail of visits which he and some friends. paid to wellkaown dance halla and cabarets, frequented by women of the underworld, where liquor flowed freely in spite of probibition restrictions. His descriptions of existing .con- ditions, and his allegations that police protection is purchased on the basis of monthly payments, made, be says, on information; gathered from the woman, have caused a profound sensation. * The pastor's declaration that in the few dance balls, visited The found

more YOURK men and women than in all, the; churches in New York 13 calculated to focus the attention of other clergy on the existing conditions. Nothing approaching the outspoken charges of Mr. Straton has been heard in a New York pulpit since the famous: sermons many years ago of Dr. Charles H. Parkhurst, which re- sulted in an investigation into the New York Police Depart ment and the conviction of many men high in that organization.

Mr. Straton condemned in seathing terms modern dantes and dress styles of the women. and the practices of the so-called hostesses of the dance halls, whom he charged with being actually procurers for wealthy patrons willing to pay. He said he had no difficulty in gaining admission to these places, which he visited in evening clothes under the guidance of a chauffeur, who; acted as sponsor with the door-] man, arranging that the clergy- man's party should be entertained "properly."
