(Special Star Correspondence.) -Whiteville, N. C., November 24. Following the granting of a restraining order stopping the Daughters of the Confederacy 'from erecting a monu ment in Burgaw on the 19th, an ac count of which appeared in Sunday's Star, Judge Rountree, in chambers here today, heard the argument of the counsel representing, both sides of the controversy, and ruled for the de fendants. x The action grew out of the protest on the part of a number of prominent Burgaw people against the erection of a monument to the Confederacy at the intersection of Fremont- and Wright streets in that town, and after the patriotic women had raised funds for the erection of the monument, J. T. Bland, Esq., a prominent, member of the Pender bar, appeared before Judge Rountree" here on laBt Wednesday in behalf of the business men of Bur gaw and obtained a temporary injunc tion against the erection of the monu ment at the point selected. The final hearing was set for today when a number of prominent Burgaw. people appeared before him to argue the case. The argument of the business men was that such a monument would be an obstruction and likewise a nuis ance, but the Daughters of the Confed eracy had the greater weight of evi dence, asell as sympathy, and Judge Rountree dismissed the action and dis solved the restraining order previous ly giv&u Those present at the hearing today were: Mesdames 13. Li. Larkins and T. F. Johnston, and their counsel, E. L. Larfcins, Esq., of the Burgaw bar, and Robert Ruark, of the Wilmington bar, "representing the U. D.

PURSE SEINES UNLAWFUL. Statute by Last Legislature Makes Their Use a Misdemeanor, - Apropos of the recent visit of a iMorehead City fisherman to this port with a -quantity, of fish for sale which were alleged by a Wilmington dealer to have been caught with a purse seine, Representative Woodus Kellum yesterday . - called the attention . of a Star man' to chapter 717 of the pub lic local laws of 1913, which makes the use of .purse . seines for catching food rfish . unlawful along the coast in New Hanover, Onslow and Pender counties for -a, distance of three nau tical miles from the outer beach, this being as far as the State . has juris diction. " . "The use vof a purse seine by any per son, .firm or. corporation is made a misdemeanor by this act punishable by a fine of not less than $300 and not more than $500 or with imprisonment. It is also provided for in the act that any-person who shall ' furnish infor mation that shall lead to the con vie tion of any person or persons for such an offense shall receive one-half -of the fine imposed. "It is further pro vided in the act that any person who shall rent or lease a seine or shall lease or .rent a Doat for use in purse seining shall be guilty ; ; of a misde meanor the same as the principal, and subject to the 'same penalty. - 7:, Representative Helium aided in se? curing the enactment of this law in order to protect the food fish indus try in Eastern North Carolina. The - representatives in the -other -two coun ts also wpfkea (or tbj ..Theatrical.. America's greatest aggregation of Afro-American Thespians which com pose Rogers & Creamer's Negro Play ers of America, will be the attraction at the Academy tomorrow, matinee and night. The exalted reputation .and stand ing of this organization, the extraor rtinnrv expedience of the company and the phenomenal success of their per formance and one of the most popu lar prima donnas of this remarkable race of singers, dancers and come-, dians, that has ever come to this city, makes it an event of intense public interest - . v Alice Gorgas lyric triumphs in all the leading cities of Europe and America are without parallel. She is one of the most popular prima donnas in the world, and has probably sung before the largest ana most distin guished audiences that ever assem bled to applaud a cantatrice. Seats are now selling at Bunting's. Norman Hackett Thanksgiving. The Academy will indeed offer something big and choice for its Thanksgiving Day attraction. Thurs day matinee and night, seats for both performances going on sale at J . Hicks Bunting's drug store ' this morning, Norman Hackett will appear in "A Double Deceiver", which is a dramatization of O. Henry's novel! Mr. Hackett's tour of North Carolina has been a triumphant one. Showing this the following is taken from Sunday's Raleigh News and Observer: "Norman Hackett, who has been added to the group of men engaged in a philanthropy designed to memo rialize Sidney Porter, 0. Henry,' play ed 'A Double Deceiver' twice yester day and received cordial curtains often. - "Mr. Hackett made himself go where there was doubt about the abil ity of play to travel. One hesitates to say how well A Double Deceiver' would fare as a drama without the glamour of the dead genius, the devo tion of a live one, Archibald Hender son, and the generosity of the matinee prince, Norman Hackett. "Two good audiences met Mr. Hack ett and his good support, enjoyed them, called often for him and re ceived him as their own. So persis tent did the people applaud that Mr. Hackett came out and made a little speech. He had completed the first act and - the second and was then evolving himself from a situation in which he was alleged murderer of the brother of a girl whom he sought to marry, and to whom Jie played the part of returned prodigal brother to gladden an old mother. " 'Ladies and gentlemen,' Mr. Hack ett said, when the curtain bobbed up and down, 'your reception " has been so cordial and appiause so gen erous, that it is very delightful to me. And yet, I cannot feel that the flat tery is so much ours, because vl know it is intended for the great writer and statesman, O. Henry, and a tribute to the great energy of Prof. Henderson. "'But it is flattering to our com pany to be received in such manner, and a pleasure to be one of the work ers in this effort to memorialize this great son of North Carolina. Lest your minds may be diverted from this act,' I must not stay too long, for Mr. Ambrose R. Fitzgerald Is in a very tight fix and must get out in this act. Of course, you know he gets " the girl. " 'Ambrose R. ' Fitzgerald, " Is the 'double-dyed deceiver' and Is well backed by Herbert - Fortier, playing Thomas Thacker, U. S. Consul, like wise something of a deceiver. Miss Diehl, as Lolita, plays the love part cleverly." "Quo Vadis" Friday and Saturday. "Quo Vadis", that marvellous proto drama spectacle that has made the name of the producer, Mr. George Klelne, already famous on this conti nent, and which has thrilled vast au diences week after week in; New York, Chicago, Boston and Philadelphia and various other cities, is announced at the Academy for Friday and Saturday of this week, with matinees every day. That a rare treat is in store for local amusement seekers is a fore gone conclusion as such wonderful patronage and praise that has been bestowed upon this attraction cannot be without merit At the Grand Theatre. Four big films at the Grand today. A quartette of the best, which every amusement lover will keenly, relish. Comedy plays a strong part in today's offering, and "it? is to laugh." In Lu bin's "All On Account of Daisy," will be found a merry creation. It is the story of how a wife becomes jealous of her husband and breaks up house keeping. Then she finds that her sus picion was unfounded. Another ribtickler is "Father's Choice."

Today's special feature will be "The Sergeant's Secret," which is in two Dig reels and every moment of each reel is a thrill.

Ther are two other big reels be sides tlhis one, and one will be the very hvtest Tanhauser, "The Girl De tective1 Ruse."
