What passes for it is jerky, jumpy and without grace or refinement. A more or less rapid, ungainly walk, Bhuffle or run to music has been quite the accepted standard for dancing. Young people seem to enjoy it, be cause it affords them an opportunity to move more or less rapidly and have the companionship of the opposite sex, but they are blissfully ignorant of the fact that dancing is an ac complishment in which every feature and muscle have their individual re sponsibility which stiould combine in making a harmonious whole. Those who love and admire grace see, how ever. a promise of better things, for with the advent of "The Merry Widow" and the beautiful dancing which is such a feature in that de lightful operetta, the entire world seems to have awakened to the glor ious possibilities that until now they had never dreamed of.

Have De manded His Resignation. Washington, D. C., April 26.—Secre tary Nagel of the department of com merce and labor is said to have pre ferred charges with the president against Director S. N. D. North of the census bureau, with a demand for his removal. The alternative is said to be the resignation of Mr. Nagel from the cabinet. Neither at the office of Mr. Nagel nor at the white house could confirmation or denial that charges had been filed be had. Director North declared he was not aware that charges had been filed until he read of them in a New York morning news paper. Charges Said to HaTe Been Made. In substance, the charges against the census director, which are alleged to be in the hands of the president, are: That he has so far looked to con gress for his retention in office as to make recommendations relative to the administration of the coming census contrary to the recommendations of Secretary Nagel, thereby being guilty of gross insubordination. That he has knowingly permitted loose conduct in his bureau. The latter charge is declared by the friends of North today to be "mon strous," while the first allegation is said to be the result of testimony giv en by Mr. North oefore the senate committee on census as a result of his long experience in his present office, which proved contrary to Secretary Nagel's views. .Reported Result of the Inquiry. It IB declared that Secretary Nagel's charges were preferred at a recent cabinet meeting, following a secret in vestigation of the census bureau. If such an investigation waB had the fact that it was "secret" is borne out by the consternation among Director North's cloBeBt friends. Secretary Nagel declined repeatedly today to, discuss the matter, but when he was informed that a story had been print ed about his alleged charges he rush ed to the white house for a conference with the president. The president likewise declined to make any state ment and it was said disliked the mere mention of the subject to him. As the story is being repeated in Washington today, Director North has permitted politics and politicians un due leeway in his bureau. President Roosevelt, when civil service com missioner in 1889, discovered condi tions in the bureau which he vigor ously opposed unto the end. His veto of the census bill just before his term as president expired because civil ser- 1 vice examinations were not provided for the census office clerks is cited as proof of this statement. Nagel Not Sure of Supporr. Mr. Roosevelt is reported to have felt that the old spoils system of non competitive examinations gave the politicians too great a hold on the bu reau and its employes. As a result, congress has before it a new census bill, eliminating thiB situation, and it is declared that Secretary Nagel was not sanguine of Mr. North's sincere TUESDAY, APRIL 27, 1009.

Coming on the verge of the thirteenth decennial census, the reports in Washington to day have caused a sensation. Statement by Friend of North. On behalf of Mr. North one of his closest friends and advisers gave out the following statement: "The firot intimation that Director of the Census North had that any charges had been filed against him or even in contemplation was received by him when he read a story to that ef fect in a New York morning paper. The publication containing the charg es came without any warning. Neither Mr. North nor any of his fellow offi cials had the slightest intimation of affairs in the census bureau. "Mr. North has been in public office a good while and his Washington friends say that the only reason for making general and somewhat veilei charges against the chief of the cen sus bureau is a desire to get him out of office in ord6r that some one more congenial in a political and an official way to the head of the department of commerce and labor may be named." North Newspaper Man in '70'». S. N. D. North first came to Wash ington as a newspaper correspondent in the '70's. Later he was part owner and editor of a newspaper in jits home city of Utica, N. Y., and for five yeara he was editor of the Albany (N. Y.) Express. Later he issued a bulletin for the Wool Manufacturers' associa tion and in 1890 prepared a special report of the eleventh census on wool. He was appointed on the industrial commission by President McKinley and represented the wool association in the tariff legislation in the early '90s. When the Dingley bill was drawn Mr. North served in a special capacity with the senate committee on finance, as a result of which charges were recently preferred by Frank P. Bennett, a Boston publisher, alleging that Mr. North represented the woolen interests behind the closed doors of the committee room. A -part of Mr. North's correspond ence with William Whitman, president of the National Association of Wool Manufacturers, since has been pub lished and the charge made that North received $5,000 from the wool men when his work ended. The charges were aired before the house commit tee on ways and means last Decem ber and dropped because that com mission was placed in the position of investigating another commission of a co-ordinate branch of congress. Mr. North offered to answer the charges against him, but was not per mitted to do, it being understood that Senator Aldrich, chairman of the sen ate committee on finance, might make a statement clearing Mr. North. This statement has not been made yet. Mr. North is regarded as an excellent scholar. His present appointment was made from Massachusetts, and it is understood that Senators Crane and Lodge are his political spokesmen.
