Ambassador Durand declined to dis

was only just before 1 sailed that news
was received that Panama had declared
Independence.
OF the story that the British and
American heets Wln join ia maneuvers

Obstacles TO Production of

CUT CABLES OF THE DROPS
Echoes of Theatrical Trust Fight in the
Flies Of Lafayette Opera
House.

The local engagement of Sweet Kitty
Bellairs'' developed many Interesting
features unknown to the public. New
York papers made much of the fact
that the attitude OF members OF the
theatrical trust was anything but favor
able TO David Belasco. manager OF Hen
rietta Crosman. Mrs Leslie Carter.
Blanche Bates and other stars.
1t was even asserted by some that
the combined efforts Of members OF the
syndicate would be put forth to crush
Mr.. Belasco. Just how far these mo-
tives were carried in the course OF the
past week and just how much success
accrued to the managers IN question H.
a matter that has been religiously kept
from the press.
II has developed. however. that the
costumerss in New York failed to get
the costumes for Sweet Kitty Bellairs'
10 Washington in time for the dress re-
hearsal on Tuesday night. and much
anxiety was felt by MIR. BelascO and
members OF ht9 company. 1t is now
said that Mr.. BelascO's enemies in New
York attended TO IL that the cOstumers
were given other work and higher pay
that the dresses and uniforms for
Sweet Kitty BelIairs" might suffer.
Everything came on time. however.
Stage Carpenter Quits,
six stage hands came over 60 assist
the head stage carpenter IN adjusting
the intricate scenery. At the last mo-
ment the head stage carpenter and
lluilder Of the scenery was called out
and with him went four OF the New
York stage hands
This left two, and, il is said by mem
bers OF the company, one of them cut
the cables OF the red silk drop curtain
so that in the course of the last re-
hearsal on Wednesday afternoop It was
found the curtain and some of the
drops were not working While the
dress rehearsal was going on Wednes-
DAY morning some one disturbed the
scaffolding in the ballroom scene and
the whole platform was about 10 give
way when the danger was noticed by
Mr.. Belasco and his assistants in front
1t took six or eight men to hold the
platform up while members Of the COM
pany climbed down 10 safety. IN the
early part OF the rehearsal Of the sec
ond act "a large property tree was re-
leased from its fastenings and fell with
a crash to the stage. Again several
members of the company who happened
to be on in that scene narrowly escaped
serious injury.
To Retard Production.
All this. it is said. has been done with
a view of retarding the production Of
Sweet Kitty Bellairs" and so reflect
ing seriously on Mr. Belasco. The
head stage carpenter. it was stated last
night, was the only one who was IA
miliar with the mechanism of the
scenery, and Mr.. Belasco was almost
totally dependent upon him for its sue
cessful handling. The man has been
in Mr.. Belasco's employ for quite a long
time, and his action last Wednesday
night in leaving the manager in the
lurch. so to speak, is hard TO account
for

North Carolina is the only State whose
Supreme Court is entirely up with it's
work. many courts being two or three
years in arrears. The number of cases
annually disposed of by the North Caro-
lima Supreme Court lis not surpassed by
that of any other State. Under these cir
cumstances, it is simple justice that the
salaries of the Judges of the Supreme
Court should be increased like those of
other States have been and should not
be singled out to stand alone at the
same figure they did eighty-four years
ago.
Judges do not go on the bench to make
money, but the judges of our highest
court should. in justice, be paid more
than in 1919 when the work was not
one tenth what it is now, and their sala-
ries should be raised in proportion to
other State officers and the increased
cost of living. The salaries of the North
Carolina Supreme Court should not be
out of proportion to that of similar courts
in other States. At present, the salaries
of our highest State judges are far from
being even half of the $4,000 and ex-
penses. which are paid the lowest grade
of United States Judges-the District
Judges.
