BOOKING AGENCIES
SUED FOR $500, 900
Vaudeville Concerns Charged With
Combination Under Sherman Anti
Trust Laws and Heavy Penalties
Are Demanded.

New York, April 27.-The leading
vaudeville booking agencies of the
United States are made defendants in
two Sherman law suits for 100000
damages filed in the federal district
court here to day in which conspiracy
is charged in their refusal to book GER
tain acts and attractions offered them
by the plaintiffs.
Z The suits are brought by Charles F.
Bornhaupt. who maintains theatrical
agencies in this city. London and Brus-
sells, and Clifford c. Fischer. who has
similar offices in London and Paris,
against the United Booking Offices of
America, the Central Vaudeville Book
ing Company: c. H. Marinelli, Freder-

NO CASH FOR KLEisT.
Judqe Takes Breituns $25o,ooo Damage
Case From Jury.

New York, April 27-Max Frederick
Kliest, former cowpuncher and coach-
man. who, as the secretly welded nus
| band of Juliet Breitung, had visions OF
! wealth. Yesterday lost his suit to re-
| cover s25O.OO0 from Mr.. and Mrs. Ed
| ward n. Breitung. the girls parents,
for alienation of his wife's affections.
Federal Judge Hough took the decision
from the Jury and directed verdict
for the defendants.
Judge Hough reviewed the claims put
forward by the plaintiff. but insisted
that no malice or i'll will on the part
of Mr.. and Mrs. Breitung had been
proved.
Kleist contended that after his secret
marriage with Miss Breitung he had
been forced to accept position In
mine in New Mexico and that In his
absence the affections Of his wife had
been Weaned from him.
The Judge propounded what he says
is q theory Of law, designed to cover
such cases and to minimize the scandal
and discourage the institution OF such
sordid demands as have been here ex-
hibited." The court decided that while
parental authority may terminate with
marriage. the parental relation contin-
ues and no parent IL bound at the peril
of a successful suit for damages to ap-
prove Of his child's marriage.
1T Is my opinion" Judge Hough
| said. slowly and emphatically to the
Jurors. that parents are not bound to
submit their action as regards their
child to the criticism either OF Judge
or Of turymen at the suit Of the per-
son whom that child has married"
The court said that whatever par
ents do is presumed to result from good
motives, not from hatred foT s!a:.!a
welded mate. He decided that no evil
dence had been produced against either
Mr.. Breitung or his wife that was cul-

New York, April 27.-Dr. Bernhard

today relating to the use of asphyxiat-
