Manager of ''rhe Sowing The Wind" Company, and Capavae houBg Juvenile Man Disagreed
 as to Salary.

On account of a disagreement with his manager as to sd.ary. Itenry C. Mortin4er. pidylng Neu Annersiey, the leading Juvenlie role in sowing. the Montgomery Theatre in the middle Of the second act, to the intense surprise ot manager and audience.
 His sudden disappearance compelled Manager noth to hurriediy substitute an understudy to play the important part. while Mortimer washed off his make up and sought his hotel.
 The second act is one of the strong est of Sowing the Wind" Mortimer made his first entrance, but when the cue for his second appedrance came, there was a painful silence: A butler nersley" would soon appear. When MT. Annersley did appear, MT. Anners- ley was not being played by MT Morti- mer. A capable understudy. however.
 Mortimer and Roth had trouble last week on account Of the actors having missed a part of performance at Chat yesterday in Montgomery. Mortimer was subjected to a fine and he had al- ready been given notice that his ser vices would not be needed after the second deek in December.
 He refused to accept the me ana sued out a writ of attachment on the box office for the amount dedu :ted from his salary. Just as the curtain @ rose se. Roth a note, stating that he thought he had been badly treated and gave as his ultimatum that unless the money was paid to him in his dressing room Immediately after his first exit he would not reappear on the stage.
 Manager Roth refused 10 meet the demands and arranged for.a quick sub- stitution. The performance went on apparently smoothly.
 Mortimer is q capable young actor, who has been seen frequently Tn Mont aoinbrv having played d summer efi- gagament at tho Pickett Springs Casino three summers ago.

Sewing the Wtni.


 A play that is filled with heart throbs told in an array of beautifully written lines Is Sowing the Winds" MT. Grundy's eff forts in his famous play were In no wise H. directed for he gives us prob em play per haps, without problem. There Ia a se- ries of problems which looks like 1t will not end but artistcally constructed is this great dramatic vehicle that every problem unravals its own,elf and conjoins with the next
 And when the last curtain drops one is convinced that the portrayal of a story of unu ually deep human interest has been done That was the opinion of those who witnessed the performance yesterday mat inee and last night at the Montgomery The atre It was no mite of satisfactioh. either. to the audience to realiza that thescreation of Mir Grundy stands stripped of the prob lem feature which is threatened to almost the very last.
 As for the performing side of the produc- tion last night it appeared that an inversion of the biII-head would be more proper in point of merit This. too can he said without denying much ability, much attract- iveness and no little talent to Miss Santje. It Is simply in order to give way to- Mir Edward Mawson when he appears in a per- formence along with the calibre of the com panyls cast. He is put down on the pro- gram as the support, or a part of the support of Suzanne santte That Is very true. but ne is more than that. he Is the mainstay of lie show
 still 1t does not keet Miss Santje from shining It is her first year to smblazon the bllboards with her name She iS sourcefuI and she is attractive with good share of stage bu u5iness. The eie facts are evident the first tine she makes her en- trance But 1t Is the severity with which she invests the heavy part of Rosamond. It is a disregard for the confines of art and a5 soon as the offender is convinced thor, Il sh- ly of the re ut of the practice it should be easy to drop to an aa iicr and smoother basis for the effect aimed
 But the latent ability of Mi's Sant1e. who has not been seen in Montgomery except in repertoire compantes. waS apparent on many occasions last night In all the emotions which she chose to do In monotunes she dfs- nlayed an attainment of art that makes us feel that she has future. When 1t came to the turbu ent periods in the powerful drama and these were numerous. Mss Sant- ie overleaped herself and thus her work on the whoIn was discounted.
 Mir Nav son on the other hand. hv finish ed histrionic work, cau ed the great story to be portrayed for a great deal of It's worth. He is not 6 stranger 10 Mnntgomery au- diences because they will not forget his tri- umph here last year with Miss Elizabeth Kennedy. His part in sowing the Wind" is that of grief ridden father

CONVICTED OF BLAcKMAIL.
New York Attorney Was Too Fond of
 Letter writing.

letter WrAttnEs A
 New York. Dec. 6.--Thonias M. wickes. a prominenet attorney and for mer assistant corporation counsel. to- day was found guilty of blackmail in the criminal branch of the supreme court He was remanded for sentence next week.
 The case of wickes Is one of the most peculiar in the criminal annals of the city and the man himself has come to be known as the 'Dr. Jekyi and Mir. Hyde of the legal profession.
 While occupying a prominent place among his fellows in the legal pro- fession and enjoying high reputation, it has been learned that under the name of Lewis Jarvis." which he as- sumed for the purpose. Wickes Awrote hundreds of letters to persons who were interested in cases with which he was connected. Nearly all the letters were confined entirely to praise of Wickes the man. and his ability in the legal profession. Clients were con graduated upon having obtained the services of so able a Eentlenian and prospective clients were advised to re- tain Wickes at any cost. Some of the letters, however, had other ends in view and 1t was one of these which resulted in the undoinS of Wickes.
 To Dr. Edward Weston. of New Ark. several of these Lewis Jarvis" letters were written advising pr. Wes- ton to settle certain litigation him. self by paying several thousand dol lars. These letters evidently were written by some one outside intimate with the case and Dr. Weston gave them in evidence.
 wickes was found out and arrested when he went to a post office for let ters addressed to Lewis Jarvis Dur ing the present trial he admitted that he was the writer of the letters.
 wickes counsel set up in defense the argument that there was no attempt at blackniail in the letters.
