J. v. CAMPBELL WINS
AWARD OF S149,746
Settlement of Partnership With
Brother Made in Decree of
Supreme Court.

An awand of sl49. 746 is made to James
W. Campbell by a decree signed by
Justice Stafford. of the District Su-
preme Court, in the suit against his
brother. Charles NJ Campbell. for n
settlement of a partnership formed in
1894 for the purchase of realty.
The property involved in the litiga-
ton, which has practically been pend
ing since 1905. is described in the decree
as the Borden tract and the Gilbert
warehouse and wharf and the Tickling.
Nenderwerken, and Grunwell ware
houses and fats. The decree directs the
sale Of Charles NJ. CampbelFs interest
in the property to satisfy the award
the trustees named being John Ridout
and William Henry White.
An appeal to the Court OF Appeals has
been noted by Charles NJ CampbeIls
counsel, and arguments on the appeal
will be made in January.
Efforts to settle the partnership were
first made in 1872. The two brothers
entered into what is known as IAN
agreement of settlement" and it Is on
the agreement that the litigation was
based. Charles NJ. Campbell contended
that the agreement of settlement was
conditional and tentative. and never
became operative. and 80 the suit was
filed in 1900.
Arbitration of the dispute was begun
in 1903, and after six monthes OF nego-
The Washington times., 1914-12-01

tiations there was an award OF 81. eco
which was held to be the amount owed
by Charles NJ. Campbell TO his brother
II was further decided that Mr.. Camo-
bell S interest was more than sufficien
to pay his brothers claim.
Differences arose over the arbitration
award. and the case was carried back
into court on an amended and supple
mental bill, although there was no al
fusion to the award in the biil. Charles
NJ. Campbell pleaded the award I'm an
swer to the amended bill filed by his
brother, and Justice Stafford held that
il was a good plea.
The court gave James W. Campbell
permission further to amend the bIu
so that the award coul dbe attacked.
The attack on the award was success
full and the matter was referred to the
auditor of the District to state an ac-
count The account was stated in a
document covering eighty-five type
written pages. and exceptions were filed
by Charles VI. Campbell. After a hear
ing covering several months. the case
was taken under advisement by Justice
Stafford, who finally ruled in favor of

the right OF the attorneys to ask the

the plot as it was and step down from
the stand to make room for one of the
most dist nguished members Of the

confessed to being a playwright and a
musical cOmedictator. but smiled.
He smoothed out the smile. as though
realizing the enormity of his statement
when he admitted he had committed

Nile" and The Idols Eye" Even the
attorneys thought this was going far
enough. and Mr.. Smith was permitted

scripts twice, and that he could not
see any technical similarities between
them.

Pyrotechnics Start.
This point ought to be marked y 18th
the usual cross. for it was here that the
pyrotechnics started. Mr.. Lambert, Mr..
Malvinsky, and Mr. Douglass each con-
JributInC their share.
The argument brought out the fact
that there were few persons in the vi
Cinity except the court who needed any
instruction at all in the art of play
WriPhting What wasn't known by the
attorneys and a few others who were
cited would not be worth production.
One Of Attorney Lambert's objections
to Mr.. Thomas being asked anything
technical about the two compositions
was that Mr.. Thomas was a writer of
serious drama and not a writer Of musi-
cal plays
As he had never written a musical
PLAY it stood 10 Teason-although Mr..
Lambert did not stand il that way in
exactly these terms-that Alr. Thomas
knew absolutely nothing about provid

Mr.. Thomas sought to establish his
cansc'ty as a judge by defining what a
well-conceived drama should contain.
He said there We're five important ele-
ments-sUbiect, expression, construc-
tion. drawing. and technique. But he
did not get chance to enlarge on any
OF them, for the next question as to
