AMERICAN DANCER SETS
PARIS LEGAL. PRECEDENT
Hal Sherman Wins Court Contest
With Theatrical Agency Over
Salary Commission.

PARIS (SpeciaD Hal Sherman, the
American eccentric dancer, has won a
suit against a Paris theatrical agency
and thereby set legal precedent,
Some time ago the agency obtained
for Sherman contract with divers Ber-
lin theaters at a salary of $216 a day.
One of these theateEs closed suddenly,
and the dancer refused to pay the GUS
tomary commission of 10 per cent to
the agency, which thereupon attached
his effects.
Hal Sherman brought suit to nullify
the attachment and also for damages,
while the agency entered a counter
claim for its commission. The dancer
based his case on a police ordinance
of 1928, which regulates employment
agencies, forbidding them to charge any
fee to the employee for whom employ
ment is found The defendants re-
torted that theatrical agency is reality
an impresoria and cannot be compared
with domestic servant bureau.
The court found for Sherman. hold
ing that theatrical agency, in the eyes
of the law, does not differ from any
other employment bureau, but it re-
fused to grant damages.

wholesale killing of whales from a

slaughtered them.
The whales were of the cawing species

An Arctic Tragedy

After 33 years, a mystery of the Arctic has been partially cleared up by the finding of the remains of Solomon A. Andree and one of his compan- ions on an uninhabited island in the far North. Some equip ment and records were also found frozen in the ice.
 Andree was a distinguished Swedish aeronaut and engin- ger, who made several notable balloon flights before he set out on his fatal expedition at the age of AZ. With two com panions, Nils Strindberg and Knut Fraenkel, he ascended in a balloon from Danes Is- land on July II, 1887, with the idea of drifting over the North Pole. It was hoped to reach Alaska or some other land, whence they might make their way home.
 Two days after their depart ure a message brought back by a carrier pigeon indicated that they were being carried far off their intended course by unfav- orable winds. Nothing more was ever heard of the brave adventurers until their remains were found a few days ago.
 The Andree undertaking was hazardous, even foolhardy. Un- der the most favorable weather conditions the chances were overwhelmingly against it's sue cess, as the participants we'll knew before they set out. The lure of adventure claimed them as its victims, as it has claimed many of the world $ bravest in all ages.
