MUSIC-HALL ARTISTS’ GRIEVANCES. MUSIC-HALL STRIKE. London, Tuesday. — Great activity prevails this morning at £he head office of the V aricty Artistes’ Federation. Knots of artistes may be seen engaged in animated conversation and offering congratulations on tho success of last night’s strike. in reply to a Central News representative, an official of the federation stated that no com- munication had been received from the alleged delinquent managers of the several music-halls affected bv the strike last night with a view to a settlement of the dispute. PERFORMANCE PREVENTED. There was a sudden ending to tho perform- . ance at the Holborn Empire Theatre, London, . last night, the crowd that had gathered for the j second performance having to be turned away, j as the management, owing to a dispute with the artists, were unable to present a pro- gramme. Most of the company at tho theatre belong to the recently-formed Music-Hall Artists’ Federation.

The ro- was a meeting in the building ! on Sunday, but* again all was secure when f tho place was .locked up. But when the |i keeper arrived on Monday morning the d’is- ! coverv was made that burglars had bfeen j there and got away after a most successful [ visitation. •So far, the matter is centred in mystery — i though one who sees the wrecked safe has [ :j no hesitation in concluding that the burglars | 1X1 ji carried out a thoroughly expert job. The : uo j face of the safe had been drilled and bashed j i on the top and then wrenched open, the £300 i r\ j odds taken away, and no trace left of the ; pvi v i»it beyond the battered safe. Nothing else I had been touched, the only other evidence * of depredation being the broken lock of the door which had been forced. How an entrance to the building was j gained is not known. It might bo suggested j that the burglars had attended the meeting 1 and then remained concealed, but the theatre I pcoplo do not entertain this theory. The J manager, Mr. Lloyd, answering our represen- I tative,' said that a thorough search had been j made before the place was closed. The more likely explanation is that by means of false keys the door loading from Renfrew .Street to the gallery had been j forced, and then the entire theatre traversed, | the manager's room being at the opposite , side of the hall. Mr. Lloyd expressed the opinion that the burglars must have had the j establishment under closer' observation. The j j manager further stated that there is nothing 1 j R> ftij^rgejt that anyone employed in the j Pav’il ion; pr-'foncernod in the affair. " E' Meantime the police of tho Northern j dd strict? 1 .are making inquiries* but so far! j no arrests have been made. “ The Fighting 1 Parson ” ' Successful. Lord Ardwall gave judgment in ,an action i of furthcoming at the' instance of L’gggat Bros., printers, Glasgow, against Moss Empire (Ltd.), , as arrestees, and George -Gray, known in music-hall circles as ** Tho Fighting Parson,’’ ; as principal debtor. In tho year 1905, Mr Gray, to oblige one ; whom he considered a friend, guaranteed 1 the payment of the printing account of the “Events” Publishing and Advertising Qonn pany. Gray having refused to make pay/nentS* under his guarantee, the pursuers raised an^ action ^against him in this Court for payment of £Tc5, in which they obtained decree against him in absence, and upon that* decree they sought now to make effectual certain arrest- , ments which were used on the dependence of that action. The defender Gray being a domi- ciled ^Englishman,, the .pursuers attempted to found jurisdiction against him by usibg at 4.20 p.m. on Thursday. 14th June, 1906. arrestments against him in the hands of Moss Empire* (Ltd.), and tho decision in this case turned on the question whether or not these arrestments attached funds belonging to Gray in j the hands .of Moss Empires. During the week ending 26th June fast Gray was £ul- ; filling an engagement with Moss Empires in J Glasgow. He was aware that proceedings i v ere to be taken aga inst him. and had tele- i graphed to Moss Empires’ central offices in | London asking that his payment, for the week should be sent, to him at once. He said that -j.b i was sent in a letter dated 13th June, 1906, to ; j the manager of the company iri Glasgow b Wa cheque in his favour, that ' he received tho,,, Lcheque on the morning of Thursday, 14th June, * Hsnd that before 2.30 p.m. the same day he endorsed the cheque, and handed it over for an onerous consideration to a creditor, who-sub sequently cashed it. The pursuers on the other hand said that the cheque was not sent from London till the 14th June, and did not arrive in Glasgow till the morning of the 15th, and that the defender Gray got possession of it then The main issue, in fact, therefor© came to be, did that cheque reach Glasgow on the* morning of Thursday, the 14th, or on tho rr.crning of Friday, the 15th June. Lord Ardwall assoilzied the defenders from? the conclusions of the summons, and found the defender Gray entitled to expenses against th<% pursuers. His Lordship was of opinion that the documentary evidence, which was not dis- placed bv tho oral evidence in tho case, was entirely in favour of the cheque having beer* sent off on the 13th and received in Glasgow oa the morning of tho 14th of June. Ho was ac- cordingly of opinion that the arrestments on the afternoon of 14th June to found jurisdiction in f the action in which decree was obtained against | George Gray on 10th July, 1906. did not attach i any funds duo or belonging to George Gray. It followed that jurisdiction was not effectually? constituted against him, that the decree inept, and that the arrestments used, and which ! were libelled in tho summons, were also inept* j the pro fessor the phonograph ! * »r mh Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
