PAVLOWA'S ART
WON $1,000 LOAN,
JURY DECIDES
Executor of Stickney Estate
Loses Suit Over Note
Against Dancer

A $4,000 loan which the late Charles
Dickinson Stickney made 70 Anna Paw
Iowa, the dancer, was not a business
transaction. but was a contribution TO
her art, a jury in the Supreme Court
decided yesterday. James L. Steuart,
executor Of Mr.. Stickney's estate, had
sued to recover the $4,000, with 1927
interest.
Pavlowa, in her defence, showed that
Mr. Stickney had regarded her as "the
most wonderful dancer in the world"
an admission that was wrung from her
counsel only By the fear that art might
be robbed if the artist sought 70 con-
ceal anything. She was about TO head
her own company. and Mr.. Stickney, It
was said, made the loan only on the
condition that It's repayment should
depend upon the pecuniary success
Of the venture.
Herbert A. Conner, auditor OF the
Pavlowa Ballet. Inc. testified that on
December %. 1915. the books showed
a deficit Of S141,000, and that the COM
pany owed PaVlOwa S26,i00, which she
never received.
1t was pointed out by counsel for
the dancer that Mr. Stickney was also
d patron OF charity, having left large
part Of his estate to Mrs. Maudc
Booth for the Salvation Army. The at
torneys declared that Mr.. Stickney's
interest in Pavlowa's art was so in
tense that he WAS present whenever
she appeared IN New York, and had
sent her $500 worth Of flowers.
Victor Dandre, Paylowa's manager
testified that he was with the dancer
at the Century Theatre when Mr. Stick
uey made the loan. j. was at the in
sistence Of Pavlows. he said, that she
signed a note At all When the note
became due and was presented by a
bank. he said, the cancer complained
Of the annoyance 20 Mr.. SUckney, who
spologized and declared that it should
not haUpeu again.

rim OF the slave field. The rest Of
the cast Is adequate.
king Argimenes ard the Unknown
Warrior" Is an extremely satisfying
piece of dramatic art, and wo can't
see that there is any particular sense
In comparing IL with the other Dun
ssny plays which have been produced
recently. Still, II the question we're
asked we should say that IL was les,
than "The Gods OF the Mountain" and
greater than THE Golden Doom" The
performance, however. Is the best
which the Portmantesu players have
given TO any work Of Duusany.
The setting OF the slave scene j. not
particularly effective, but Frank J,
Zimmerer has done extremely vel
with the throne room scene, In which
gay costumes are thrown against a
black background ,
No wonder Dunsany ha. reached
great heights in this play. He peems
TO stand upon Mars hill and talk to
the men of another Athens.
THE Crier by Night the only other
piece on the afternoons programme,
proved TO be Of slight worth. 1t Is a
tragedy by Gordon Bottomley, which
has 50 few lucid moments that a GER
tain imaginative quality goes for moth
ing.
THE Very Naked Boy" was anus
ingly played again, and the oppor--
tunity 20 hear Voices for second
time strengthened our impression that
this bit of dramatic defamation de-
vised by Hortense FleXner Is well writ
ten and interesting. Florence Woller-
sen and Gitruda Tristjanski both do
well in this new legend of Domremy.

THREE NEW WORKERS CONVICTED OF MURDER
MAY BE INNOCENT OF CRIME

confession of. Joseph Mulholland of
the part he and three other men
played in the murder of Mrs. Eliza
beth Nichols, aged wealthy widow,
year ago, another chapter was added
to New York's remarkable record of
convictions in which every effort is
now being made. to show that innO-
cent men were sentenced to death or
life Imprisonment.
The confessions of MulhoIland and
Arthur Waltonen, arrested in Iron
wood Mich, absolve Onni Talas from
actual participation in the murder of
Mrs. Nichols. But Talas, a mere
youth, is now in Sing Sing, SEN
fenced to life Imprisonment.
Two other cases which have at
tracted wide attention are those of
Charles F. StieIow, convicted of the
murder of Charles B. Philips and the
latter's housekeepeT, and Thomas
Bambrick, sentenced to death for the
aIleked murder Of Policeman George
Dapping- here.
StieIow has been snatched from
the death chair repeatedly and an
other man was finally found who
confessed to the murders, though he
later repudiated his statement.
Fifty aff1davits were filed at Al
bion, N. Y, yesterday intended to
show that Stielow is not guilty of
the murders for which he is SEN
fenced to die.
Stielow's confession is declared to
have been dragged from him by third
degree methods and two Sing Sing
physicians stated in their afidavits
that Stielow is susceptible to infus
ence of stronger characters, and, I'M
der threats, would likely say what
ever was suggested to him.
Bambrick was sentenced to die
tomorrow morning. He was saved

STRIKE HITS ATLAS TAxICAB
COMPANY
Seventy-six of the 95 regular chauf-
feurs of the Atlas Co. taricab con-
Germ are on strike today, according
to T. F.Neary, secretary of Chauf-
feurs' Union 727.
The Atlas Co. denies that there is
even a strike, for people are often
chaTry about using taXis Of a COM
pany against which there is a strike,
thinking green drivers are apt to
have accidents.
But Neary says the Atlas did lit
tie business today except run what
few cars they have drivers for around
the loop to make an impression.
I'VE couldn't call 100 per cent
strike" said Neary, because the
company knew it was coming and
broke in about 20 strikebreakers
weeks ago. Then they fired three
union organizers and that brought
on the strike.
"The lockout Of some Of our men
is not our only grievance. We demand
that the company abandon its prac-
tice of selling uniforms worth $50 or
$35 to the men, for $47.50 and of
charging the men for car breaks for
which no driver could be held re-
sponsible.
"The company lays aside certain
sum from each mans salary as a
bond for car .breakage. A driver must
pay for breaks and so much per inch
for scratches, except tire trouble. I
have known of drivers having to pay
$3.50 for breaks.

Showing Expenditures of Every
Department of the State
Government and So On.

tsPEeiAL TO THI TELEoRAh,
CHARLESTON, ain. 14.-The first
annual audit, showing in detail the
finances of the states-the expedi-
lures Of each and every department
and every other bit Of information
relating to income and outgo of the
revenues of the state of West Viz
ginia, has been completed and today
the first volume came from the pres.
The audit was compiled by Everett
A. Dover. chief accountant, and is
sued by the department Of the state
tax commissioner, Fred o. Blue. II
is issued under the provisions Of
chapter of the acts Of the legisla-
ture Of 1915, brief act Of four short
sections. but it is one of the most
important OF the many statesmanlike
measures enacted by the West Vir-
GINA legislature Of last winter in
pursuance OF the program OF the
present state administration.
This is the first time a citizen OF
West Virginia has had put into his
hands book from which he can
readily ascertain Just how much
money is gathered by the state from
various sources of revenue and Just
what is done with every dollar o.
that money. For the first time menu
bers of the legislature will be able
to familiarize themselves in advance
Of any regular or special session with
the financial condition and needs Of
each department of the state govern
ment and each one OF the states
growing institutions. For the first
time 1t is possible to find In a single
volume the name Of every employe
on the states payrolls, and to deter
mine exactly how much he receives
for the service rendered. This audit
Is to be yearly event, and 1t VIII
furnish the basis for the construction
Of a thoroughly scientific budget IN
which the relation Of proposed ap-
preparations to expected revenues can
always be definitely determined.
One Of the features Of the audit Is
the fact that the complete statement
OF the chief accountant vindicates the
position taken by Governor Hattiela
In regard to the need Of additional
revenues to carry on the exepnoi..
lures OF the state government anu
shows conclusively the fact that had
not additional revenues been pro
vided for by. the Legislature the state
would have been absolutely unable

FIRST ANNUAL
AUDIT OF STATE
FINANCES MADE

to meet its current obligations.
The purpose Of the audit, made in
conformity with the new law, is set
forth in the opening paragraphs OF
the preface to Mr.. Doyer's report, as
follows:
1.-THE citizen recognizes his duty to
contribute his proper share Of taxes
to maintain government; he expects,
however, and has the right to expect
that public funds shall be properly
used and duly accounted for by those
entrusted with the Management and
expenditures thereof. His willing
ness to contribute to the mainten-
ance of government is largely pro-
portioned to his confidence in those
entrusted with the management and
expenditures OF the states revenue.
1t is the duty of the citizen to inform
himself respecting the management
and expenditure Of the public funds
as we'll as his duty to contribute to
the states revenue. Such action on
the part of the citizen tends to pre-
vent abuses in the management and
expenditures Of the states revenue.
ut is believed that the require
ment is upon those entrusted with
the management and expenditure Of
public funds, in suitable way and
at proper intervals, to give the citi-
gems in as convenient form as prac-
ticable. report Of the management
and expenditure Of the public funds.
Recognition of this requirement, and
compliance herewith, tends to pre-
vent extravaganza and carelessness
ON the part OF those entrusted with
the management and expenditure OF
public funds" .
The adult is printed In a book OF
391 pages, OF which the first twenty
five pages are devoted to certain rec
concentrations by the tax commits
sioner and to lucid statement Of the
relation OF the various funds by the
chief accountant with q summary
showing tile exact condition Of those
funds at different dates, and the re-
lation of income to expenditures in
each of them.
Discussing the deficit over which
the controversy ragged during the last
session OF the legislature and the OPP
GRAFTON OF the means taken to cure
that deficit, the chief accountant dis
courses Interestingly as follows:
