THEATRICALS ARE ISSUE Millionaire Playwright Pools Inter ests 'With Mrs. Bradley, Who Will Not Open Her Independ ent Parlor Playhouse. WASHINGTON. Dec. 11. (Special.) A combined theatrical and social war is In progress In Washington with Mrs. Barney-Hemmick. the veteran dictator of Washington's smart set, and Preston Gibson, the Ward McAllister of the Capital and millionaire playwright, as the opposing generals. The battles during the season will take the form of society theatricals. In which Mrs. Barney-Hemmick and Mr. Gibson, prior to this season, have been associates. Wise society birds predict victory for Mr. Gibson, who has allied with him the socially powerful Mrs. Edson Bradley. Mrs. Bradley -was previously leading an Insurgent movement of her own. She was to have opened her private theater, costing $100,000. on Dupont Circle, this year, in opposition to the recognised society players, the Play house Club, directed by Mr. Gibson and his set. New Theater Will Be Dark. Now Mrs. Bradley has pooled her In terests with Mr. Gibson and her theater will remain dark so as not to Interfere with the Playhouse Club. There have been frequent shifts In the cast of this society drama. Mrs. Bradley had arranged to asaociate her self with Mrs. Barney-Hemmick and Jointly they were to war on Gibson. Mrs. Bradley's truce with Mr. Gibson changes all this. When Mrs. Bradley and Mr. Gibson talked peace terms, he had only one demand to make: That Mrs. Barney-Hemmick should be left out In the cold. Mrs. Bradley agreed. Vetera Leader to Fight. But Mrs. Barney-Hemmick will not give up without a struggle. The so ciety leader who at 69 years married a young man of 26 will not lay down the sceptre while a breath of social ambition remains. When Mrs. Barney-Hemmick re turned to town after her honeymoon with her youthful husband, she Imme diately iaaued a call to her faithful retainers and prepared for battle. She rehearsed her social followers In tab leaux rlvants for the House of Mercy, one of her pet charltlec. The , counter-move of the formidable Gibson-Bradley coalition is waited with Interest.

CHILDREN'S VISIT TELLS Dairyman Frets in Hotel Jail After Seeing .Youngsters Prosccu- tlon Charges Defense With Conniving. KANSAS CITT, Mo., Dec. 11. A mis trial of the second hearing of Dr. B. Clark Hyde, charged with killing Colonel Thomas H. Swope, appears probable tonight. Made desperate by the sight of his two children, from whom he had been separated for six weeks. In the court room last Saturday, Harry Waldron, one of the Jurors, escaped from the Jurors' hotel quarters early today. While Frank Jasper, a Deputy County Marshal who was on guard, slept. Wal dron pried open a Jailed transom, crawled through the opening, tiptoed to a fire escape and leaped 15 feet to freedom. ' The entire city police force and a dozen deputies from the County Mar shal's office1 have searched for him since his absence was noted near day light. If Waldron la not found by tomor row night the 11 remaining Jurors will be discharged. Judge Porterfleld said today. Should he return In good health and swear that he has men tioned the ' trial to no one and the court Is satisfied with his story, the trial will proceed. Juror's Suicide Feared. Fear that Waldron has killed himself grows hourly. He was In a highly agitated state when last seen Sunday night and. Indeed, as he has been al most every day since he waa chosen a Juror. He objected to serving when he was first selected, saying his dairy inter ests would not permit his absence. Later he was taken 111 and begged piteously for his wife and children. His wife wrote him daily and he seemed better contented. Then, Saturday, his children came to see him. When court adjourned he grasped them In his arms and kissed and fondled- them. Yesterday was Sunday and a dull day for the Jury to alt around their hotel. Some of them plaved games and others read. But Waldron sat alone, playing his old and battered violin. ."Home, Sweet Home" was his favorite tune. He played It over and over again. Juror Cannot Be Pnnlahed. Even If Waldron's escape should re sult in a mistrial, which would mean a loss of thousands of dollars to the county, no severe punishment could come to him. He Is In contempt of court, but the maximum penalty for this offense Is a fine of $50 or a ten days' Jail sentence. Scores of theories regarding the dis appearance were offered, but the sug gestion of suicide was most generally accepted. Officers think worry about his family may have deranged him. Prosecutor Conkllng issued a state ment intimating that Waldron had been Induced to escape. Attorneys for Dr. Hyde gave out a written statement deploring the lnciderft and were espe cially emphatic in denying the prose cutor's Insinuations. Mrs. Waldron has been in communi cation with the County Marshal's of fice ever since her husband disappeared. She cannot explain his acts, unless he was homesick, she says. Since Waldron has been on the Jury his wife had been in charge of the dairy. It was not paid for and this worried , the Juror, but his wife, with the aid of a hired man and officers of the Board of Public Welfare, was con ducting the business at a profit. j BASKETBALL FAN STRICKEN) Excited Thorp Father Dies While Watching Sons Piay.
