HELEN MORTON SUED,
z JUDGMENTS TAKEN
Charged With Breaking Con-
tracts to Purchase Farm
and to Buy House.

WARRENTON. Va, June 1.-Two
judgments. one for 5000, and the sec
und for an unspeciied amount, were
fled in the Warrenton circuit court
here today against Miss Helen Morton,
chicago horsewoman and niece of the
late Paul Morton. Secretary of the
Navy in President Roosevelt Cabinet,
and well known in Washington society.
The first of the judgments was filed
BY Blair johnson, who declared that
several weeks ago he had contracted
with Miss Morton for the purchase by
her of a lV0-acre stock farm, two and
one-halt miles from WaTTenton, for a
price said to have been $l6,VO. He re-
Ceiyed Sl,00U in T-sh and notes for the
remainder. The judgment filed by john
son states that Miss Morton later asked
that the contract be broken She is
said to have tod friends that she could
not and would not take possession OF
the farm. Johnson asked the court to
affirm the Sudgment OF IS, 900.
The second or the judgments was filed
by +. A. Russell, well-knoWn Virginia
stockman, who stated that several weeks
ago he had sold TO Miss Morton a
blooded horse, and that after Miss Nor
ton had kept the animal a short time,
returned IL TO him, explaining that she
did not want the horse, and would
not keep it. The judgment did not
specify how much money is wanted.
Miss Morton was not present during
the preliminary proceedings, but was
represented by counsel
She is still at the home of Frank s.
Neer, at Delaplane, Va.
II is understood that no effort will
ne made to recover the amounts of the
judgments. fut that they were filed
merely to allow Mr.. johnson and Mr.
Russell to regain legal title to their
properties.
Whether Miss Morton and Roger
Bailey, well-known Virginia horseman,
soon are to be wed, as reported re-
Gently, cannot be verified. 1T is silly
10 think of my marrying at this time"
Miss Morton said today, when asked
concerning the rumor. Miss Morton
will have to do the talking about our
supposed engagement is Mr.. Bailey's
answer TO similar questions.

NON-MEMBERS GO
TO CLUB AFFAIRS
Understood Country Club Officials
Will Insist on More Strict OBJ
servance of Rules

The embarrassing duty of confnIng
the privileges of the Country club at
the Saturday night nner-dances and at
other affairs of moro or less formality
to actual members of the club and nom
resident visitors is expected to fail
upon the officials of the club as a re-
suit of recent impositions upon the
clubs hospitality.
It appears that at the New Years
Eve ball. held last Wednesday night,
which was exclusively for members
and nonresident guests of member
that quite few local persons attended
without invitation. The members and
officials of the club are understood to
have known some of those In attend
ance were not entitled to be present.
but on account of the embarrassment
involved nothing was done.
1t is further stated that at the last
several Saturday night dinner dances
quite few local persons that are not
members and are not entitled to par
ticipate In the functions of that social
organization have attended. What ao-
tion Is to be taken II any is unknown,
though the officials viii probably insist
on a strict observance of the clubs 5

MESSIAH" "HEARDBY.
GREAT AUDIENCE.
First Methodist Crowded
With Appreciative Listeners
THOMAS is DIRECTOR
Chorus Work of Treble Clef Club and
the Arion Society Is Highly
Creditable-Soloists Acquit
Themselves Admirably

The larger part of Handels grand Ora
torio the Messiah" was presented at tn,
First Methodist church yesterday after
noon by the Treble Clef club and the Arior
enzi Thomas. with Miss Cornelia Handley
at the organ. The soloists were Miss Nor.
ma Scholar, soprano. Mrs. j. j. Strick-
land, soprano; Mrs. James w. Dean, &C n
tralto; Arthur Thomas, tenor. and John
Thomas, basso. The joint chorus num-
bered about IS voices. and considering the
short time allowed for mass rehearsals,
It acquitted itself with high credit,
The church was filled to overflowing,
and 1t was generally remarked that no
large crowd ever listened more eagerly
or sympathetically to a master eompo-
sition than did the audience assembled
on this occasion. The pulpit was removed
from the platform, and the director stood
where the preacher usually stands. I'M
mediately in front of him was seated a
section of the Treble Clef club. The
rest of the singers were grouped in the
choir spaces few feet above the plat
form.
The performance began with tenor
solo. Comfort Ye. Every Valley" Ar
thur Thomas has a voice of singular
purity and sweetness. His first solo was
beautifully delivered. as were also his
fecitatives and his last solo, '"They Re-
buke"
The second solo. "Thus Saith the Lord, u
was finely sung by the basso. Following
this was contralto solo and chorus. 'Oh
Thou That Telest." Mrs. Dean sane
with true emotion and good vocalization
Mrs. Strickland had one of the most i'm
portant and effective solos in the orato
rio. and Miss Scholar, the prime
donna, sang as she always does with ar.
tistio skill and dramatic feeling. Par.
ticularly moving was her last solo, 81
Know That My Redeemer Liveth."
The chorus, good at the start, warmed
up to its work in the second chorus num-
Der. and became more confident and bet
ter and better to the end. Lift Up
Your Heads" was rendered with sreat
spirit: and the concluding numbers,
worthy Is the Lamb" and the "Hallelu-
jah' chorus left nothing to be desired
in smoothness of attack or intonation
Miss Handley's accompaniments were
admirable and the pastoral interlude was
one of the gems of the evening.
The programme began at $3.50, and II
was 5:15 when the "Ilallelujah' chorus
with the entire audience standing, was
sung.
Music lovers and critics who expressed
themselves after the performance, were
loud in their praise of the choral organi-
zations and of Mr.. Thomas. the director
Miss Handley, the organist, and the five
soloists. Now, that tsthe singing of the
Messiah" during the Christmas-tide has
been revived here after many years, II
will doubtless be a feature of future
Christmas-tides.

'GRUBB'S DECISION
|SEXPECTED TODAY
Bell Telephone Company IS
Seeking to Prevent City
Repeating Ordinance

Before leaving for New Orleans last
night, where he goes to sit on the bench
of the United States court of appeals,
Judge w. ]. Grubb of the federal court.
gave his written decision in the case OF
the Southern Bell Telephone company Ia
his secretary to be filed with the clerk
of the United States court this morning
No intimation of the nature of his de-
cision was given out. but 1t will be made
public as soon as it is in the hands OF
the clerk.
The case is one of more than usual in
terest as 1t has bearing on the tele.
phone rates charged in the city of Bir-
mingham. Sometime ago the city com.
missioners passed an ordinance granting
the Southern Bell Telephone company
permission to make certain advances In
the rates for telephone service. Recently
the city commissioners repealed this or
dinance alleging among other things that
the telephone company had violated its
contract with the city in the matter of
service to the public and that the ordl-
nance was not legally adopted.
The Bell company through its attor-
neys filed a petition in the United States
court praying that an injunction be issued
restraining the city from repeating the
ordinance, contending that it had not vio-
lated any part of its contract with the
city. and alleging that the repeal of the
ordinance would bring about endless liti-
cation between the company and its pa
irons.
The case was argued before Judge
Grubb on December 81, the judge taking
the matter under advisement at the con-
clusion of the hearing. His decision will
be made public this morning.
