De YOUNG PAYS
TO ESCAPE TRIAL
Settles Salary Claim on the Eve
of Presentation of the
Case by Jury

On the eve OF a trial by jury before
Superior Judge Sturtevant, NJ H. de
Young, proprietor of the. Chronicle,
paid a bill yesterday that has been
owing since the earthquake months. 1t
was only little bill-the grand total
stopping short at the modest figure of
s1S5-but De Young has been fighting
for nearly two years to avoid paying
it. Yesterday. with the unpleasant
publicity of a jury trial in prospect,
he grudgingiy gave the word that sub
tracted slS5 from his fortune.
The bill, which has been settled at
last, was a balance due to X. T. Board
man, formerly circulation manager of
the Chronicle, and 1T was sent to De
Young for payment through the justice
court when other means of collection
had failed That process involved an
illumination of the Chronicle business
methods which was altogether dis
tasteful.
The earthquake of two years ago,
as is pretty well known, shook M. H.
de Young into a palsy of salary
smashing. Among others who received
depleted pay envelopes during the
months Immediately following the dis
aster was K. T. Boardman, who had
been brought out to the Chronicle from
Minneapolis to fill the position of cir
culation manager at a contract salary.
When Boardman was asked to accept
less than this amount during the earth
quake period, he did so cheerfully on
the assurance that the balance would
be paid when business recovered from
the April shock. But when the months
passed and business became normal
without bringing the balance of salary
due him. Boardman began to realize
that De Young had changed his mind
and that the temporary cut had been
made permanent. So the Chronicle lost
its circulation manager and NJ H de
Young faced a suit for s166.50 back
salary
When the case came up before JUS
tice of the Peace Golden on March II
last year, De Young appeared in per-
son In the courtroom to lend moral
support to his cause. But as the testi-
mony of the ex-business manager oi

IN GILLETTE.s COMEDY DRAMA
"Ciarice"

Judging solely by its pretty feminine
name no one would carry with him
to the Alcazar theater this week the
suspicion that william Gillette's drama
"Clarice" is a strong, tense play that
makes people sit tight to their seats
and withhold applause, because tneir
feelings are worked upon so forclply
that they cannot quite express lnem- :
selves by the mere clapping OF hands.
There is a surprise within the Belasco
theater in Sutter street this week, and
those who enjoy delightfully."- true act
ing and an earnest play pled mere ana

ment and splashed with humor, should
see the show.

Brownell is pretty and essentially

proves that dialect cannot be put on
the tongue as easily as black makeup
can be smeared on the face.
There is only one pity about the
play. 1t is anomalous. The lines are
not scintillating enough to attract the
intellectuals in great numbers, while
the Gillette stage craft, cunning as II
is, is SO strong in this play that some
of the regular patrons might find il
irksome. But the Alcazar is to BIZ
congratulated for putting on such {
new play and in such lucid manner.

class will nevertheless do one DOR two
hundred dollars worth of effective
hustling in hope of being honored
with postmastership worth s25 or
SO year. With this sort OF men
eliminated, party organizations must
put up with workers of an inferior
grade and who cost too much for
what they accomplish. Hence, it is
inferred, the time will come when
only rich men can run for office.
This argument, however, is not as
impressive as it used to be. There is
a growing suspicion that we can get
along very we'll without workers
and large campaign funds. One first
rate issue, brought to public atten-
ton through the newspapers, is a
better vote-getter than all the dollars
and workers you can count. We have
entered upon new political era, and
the ambitious must govern them
selves accordingly.
