Testimony In Fairbanks Defense Against
Beiasco's Claim of Immense Indebted.
ness-Mrs. Carter's Letters Read

NEW YORK, June 11.-Attorney
Charles T. Allen was the principal wit
ness today in the suit of David Belasco
against N. X. Faribank to recover $685.
900 for services in training Mrs. Leslie
Carter for the stage. In many essen
tial particulars Allen contradicted Be
lasco's testimony. He produced sew
eral letters which Mrs. Carter had writ
ten to him asking him to use his influ-
ence with Mr.. F." to advance money in
order that her theatrical enterprise
might not fail, when, according to her
belief, success was almost within her
grasp. These letters asserted no claim
except upon the generosity of Mr. F."
Mrs. Carter also wrote that Belasco's s re-
quests for money We're in her behalf.
Il require" she wrote in one of those
letters, eight dresses and three wraps
for the play. 1t will take $4,000 if get
them in Europe and more if get them
here" In the same Letter Mrs. Carter
said:
IF you wish, I mean if Mr. Fairbank
wishes ! will come and bring all my
contracts and show them. Oh, only
beg him to loan me little more money
to help me through. l have no way to
borrow and I do not know any one to
ask here. / know on one here, and in
Chicago / know no one, but some of
those young club men,
In another Mrs. Carter wrote of Be-
lasco: He has helped me without ask
ing pay He has given me his time. his
instructions, and he has given up other
things to put me through. He has given
me his personal influence; he will pro-
duce my play; he will answer for my
success; he stands sponsor for me on my
first night and before the entire public
and he does it all without asking pay,
ready to wait until I am started for his
remuneration-and he did all this on Mr.
Fairbanks promise to see me through"
Before Mr.. Aliens examination was
finished he left the stand in order that
j. j. Herrick and others of Fairbanks
Chicago legal advisers might testify and
be relieved of the necessity of further
attendance in court. He told of Fair
banks business relations with the Car
ter theatrical enterprise and of his
guaranty of $4,000. He related that in
the course of an interview between Mrs
Carter, Belasco and Fairbank, Belasco
had in effect threatened Fairbank with
unpleasant publicity regarding his back
ing of the project. Ultimately Fair
bank had consented to make another ad-
vance upon condition that it be with the
assurance that his name should not be
mentioned as hacker of the enterprise.

S2.25 per day. The miners took up the
grievance OF the men affected and made

qualification of employees; all Mexicans nt
