BELASGO LOST CASES
kIaw & Erlanger and joseph Brooks Re-
eaIYei Judgments I0 High Court

New York. Dec. 20.-The suits Of David
Belasco against klaw a. Erlanger and
OF Joseph Brooks against Belasco were
decided today by Supreme Court Justice
Fitzgerald, who rules against Belasco in
every particular. They were tried in
April.
There were two actions at Issue. one
brought by Belasco against Klaw & Err
langcr, in which he asked the court TO
determine that partnership existed be-
tween him and the Erlanger firm in the
proceeds of THE Auctioneer."
The other, action No 2, was brought by
Joseph Brooks against Belasco. asking the
court to decide that Brooks was Belasco's 8
only partner In the play.
Warheld was under contract with Klaw
& Erlanger. He left them TO go with
Belasco, who went to Abraham Erlanger
and asked for route.
Erlanger refused unless his firm was let
In as secret partners in the enterprise
with Joseph Brooks, an employe OF the
firm, To be put forward as the ostensible
partner.
Erlanger denied that ne refused Bel
asco a route and declared that when he
formed a partnership he gave them the
best he could.
AS the profits were divided II was UNI
disputed that Beasco sent half to Kiaw
* ErlanRer weekly or monthly, but Err
LANCER said that his firm merely received
the money for Brooks. But the real trout
BILE came when Belasco discovered, he
says, that Klaw q Erlanger, as the syn
dicatc agents, were getting secret rebates
for his theatres. Those rebates form a
large part of the syndicate's revenue.
Belasco demanded his share OF these re-
bates and on refusal brought his suit, al
leging that Klaw a Erlanger had entered
into partnership with him, thus emitting
him TO a share of the rebates, and de-
manding an accounting.
Brooks retalated with demand for an
accounting from Belasco OF all the re-
ceipts of the Warfeld play.

Nearly all OF the witnesses summoned

noon The proceedings were behind closed
doors. and the only person examined was

cate.
IL is understood he at first refused 20
answer questions. but reconsidered when
the justice impressed Feis with the con
sequences should he persist i'm declining

10 the many friends OF the young man
The only possible physical disability
That DIR. Jewett, who was Tor so long as

today was trouble with the eye. He had
a weakening OF both eyes that caused

too near-sighted 10 continue his studies
Ii was also recalled today that DR.
heene over a year ago was alarmed about
his sons eyesigbt and took a trip to An
napolis To see how bad IL was.
He returned much encouraged and tn
formed his friends that there was no need
OF worry on that score as the boy was re-
covering from his eye troubles.
Ii lis quite probable that overstudy dur
his last year at the academy has brought
back his old difficulty. which called forth
tie action by the navy department at
Washington.
The young man Is about ~ years os age
