POET ID NOVEL
IST FIGHT DUEL
Paris, May 5. A determined duel
with swords was fought between two
well known men of letters last Fridav
morning at the Pare aux Princes, just
outside Paris.
The combatants were MM. Charles
Henri Hirseh, the novelist and drama
tic critic, and F. T. Marinetti, the
1 ranco-ltalian poet and playwright.
Their desperate fight was a result of
an altercation during a performance of
M. Marinetti's play, ' Le Roi Bom
bance." In the first encounter M. Marinetti
was pricked in the right wrist, but the
blade did not penetrate deeply. The
next nine bouts were of an exciting
and desperate character, each comba
tant making furious attempts to place
the other hors du combat. The swords
flashed dazzingly in the sunshine, and
the two men, as they gained or gave
ground, looked for all the world like
fighting cocks.
In the tenth encounter there was an
exciting moment when Mr. Hirsch's
sword snapped. The seconds threw up
M. Marinetti's sword just in time. In
the eleventh encounter M. Hirseh was
wounded in the right forearm, the cut
being three-quarters of an inch deep.
The seconds called a halt, but M.
Hirseh insisted on the duel proceed
ing. The wound was therefore bound
up and the fight continued.
After the twelfth encounter it be
came obvious that M. Hirseh, owing to
the stiffness of his wounded arm. was
unable properly to use his sword. In
view of his manifest inferiority the
seconds insisted that the duel should
cease.
M. Hirsch's wound is of a rather seri-
character.

"You English make the one big mis
take of always imagining my people
a,a seeking to spoil your trade supre
macv on the seas. All my people want j
is a hare of it of course, as large a
one as possible.
"That I and my people are sincere
ly desirous of having nothing but the
amicable relationship with the English
people may not be believed in your
country, but we are used to being
misunderstood. It is strange and a
source of great regret to me that not
withstanding all my protestations and
the official statements of my ministers,
should still be possible that your
people should cherish so deeply hos
tile an attitude to my people in their
trade relations.
"Why should your people imagine ;

"You ask me to what I attribute the
universal hostility of your shipowners
to my people's competition. All com
petition is disliked by those who have
to meet it; but your shipowners are
angry because the days of ten, twenty
and thirty years ago are gone from
them forever. Then they made great
profits extortionate profits.
"Why, you English people ought to
thank my people for the very competi
tion of which you complain. It has
reduced transit costs to you and all
other nations as thev would never
otherwise have been reduced.
"But you English: you are selfish
and suspicious, and you make the mis
take of not so encouraging your ship

WEDNESDAY EVENING MAY 5, 1909
Career of Mr. Thomas W.
Hawkins who Will be at
Municipal Helm For
7 wo Years Luwy e r
and Business Man.
Charlotte will have at the municipal
helm for the next two years Mr. Thom
as W. Hawkins, who was elected yes
terday as mayor by a majority of nearly
L000 majoritv. Mr. Hawkins came to
.. . ,
i cue: iiviui in in mini ycii uiiliv;s d i
? result of his fine service to the city
while a member of the recent board of
public service. He was chairman of
the street committee, saw that the con
tract with the 'Lt'ulithic people was in
proper shape, ' looked carefully after
the details of the work, and in otner
ways aided to do the best possible work
for street extension and improvement.
The great value to the city in hav
ing a man like Mr. Hawkins as mayor
lies in the fact that he is in a position
to give ail his time to the work, in
this his administration promises to be
pochal. His friends are insisting that
he will prove sox valuable to the city
m the critical period m which she
finds herself financially now that the
people will demand his re-election with
out opposition.
Mr. Hawkins slipped into Charlotte
so quietly and lived amongst his neigh
bors so modestly that few know much
about his past career. Such will be
interested in the following brief sketch
of his life:
Mr. Hawkins, son of Dr. P. B. Haw-
Kms, was born in uranviue county, in.
C. near the village of Williamsboro.
He was marnde to Miss, Saliie
Vaughan, ot Murfreesboro in 1893.
He obtained license to practice lav
and practiced successfully tor sonw
years in the counties of Warren and
Halifax, where he was esteemed as one
of the leaders of that bar, so long
known to the state as one of high
ank.
He removed to Charlotte about 12
years ago, since which time he has
manifested a strong interest in every
move tending to the development of
Greater Charlotte. He has a handsome
home and charming family circle at the
corner of North College and Eleventh
streets.
Mr. Hawkins is a man of strong indi
viduality, careful m coming to a con
clusion but fixed as steel when sure
of the rightfulness of his cause. While
thus strong in conviction Mr. Hawkins
is a person of liberal ideas and consid
erate of the opinions of others. He is
a worthy scion of a family which has
been a prominent factor in the state's
life since General Washington s mark
ed favors bestowed upon the first Gen
eral Hawkins. He will make a business
mayor, and will, give this city no cause
to regret his election to its cniei or
lice.

NEW
CHARLOTTE.
London, May 5. At any rate, a re
markable evening is sure to be in store
for the audience at the Court theatre
next Sunday, when the ever-energetic
Play Actors will introduce an extreme
ly challenging play by a new, young
and interesting authoress.
This is Miss Elizabeth Baker, a typ
ist, who. though little more than a girl,
and absolutely without either stage
connections or stage' experience, has
thus had her first attempt at a full
blown four-act play launched straight
away upon the world by Oire-of the keen
est and most competent of all dram
atic societies.
A charming, modest, quiet, sensible
unassuming girl. Miss Baker lives with
her parents in a simple suburban
home, at Bedford park, going to the
city each day to earn her living. She
assured a reporter who called upon
her yesterday evening that nothing was
urther from her wish than to force
herself into public notice. About the
play, which is called "Chains," she
naturally did not wish to boast until
the first night's verdict had been giv
en.
Every or.e. however, who has seen
it speaks of it in the most enthusias
tic terms. It was accepted by the
Play Actors immediate!-' upon submis
sion, and it is said to be particularly
emarkable for its naturalness, its ap
parently complete absence of stage ar
tifice, and yet unfailing interest. It
seems, said a prominent member of
the society, just "a transcript from real
Londou life, set down without any
straining after the sensational, but
with quite amazing cleverness and in
sight, and with an undoubted and inevi
table message.'
It tells, in point of fact, the story of
i rebellion against the humdrum of
suburban existence. A typical city
clerk suddenly becomes seized with
the spirit of rebellion against the dull
routine. He wishes to emigrate any
where, anywhere out of the suburban
ruck. But his wife and family want
him to stay where he is. He stays.
That is all a tragedy of the hum
drum.
In talking over the purpose of the
play, Miss Baker confessed that it was.
as had been guessed, a plain tale of
the actual life that she saw around her.
It seems to me," said she, "that rebel
lion against the humdrum is not the
sole privilege of the artistic tempera
ment. Surely quite ordinary people
feel it in quite ordinary suburban
homes. My play is partly a plea that
it should be expected and sympathized
with."
As to the writing of "Chains." Miss
Baker added that she had written
straight from her heart, without worry
ing about any technical devices, in
deed, beyond a tew visits to the pit.
she had had. she said, very little
knowledge of the theatre at all. From
her childhood, however, she had writ
ten "little things." She had once trit'd
her hand at a one-act trifle, but this
was her first big play. As it hap
pened, neither her father or mother
nor any of her family cared much
about the stage.

A complete Democratic sween re
sulted from yesterday's municipal
election, Mr. T. W. Hawkins receiv
ing a majority of 997 votes over his
opponent Republican opponeut, Mr.
h. C. Miler, and all the Democratic
candidates for aldermen and school
commissioners were elected hi every
ward. In spite of a strenuous Re
publican effort to save Kouiethiue out
of the wreck, they lost everything.
Their total vote for mayor was 459.
In the presidential election they dil
better than this, getting some SOU
votes in the city.
The election was very quiet. The
issue had been settled as far as
Democracy was concerned in tbe
primary. While the Republicans made
strenuous efforts to get out their full
strength, even voting old man Par
minler, the centenarian, in North
Charlotte, there was a good deal ot
.seeming apathy on the part of the
Democratic voters, aud yet it is
hardly to be called apathy. It Is
more quiet confidence of the result.
It is believed that two-thirds of the
qualified vote came out. Of course
this is a risk voters ought not to
take but they do.
One of the features of the election
was the fact that in North Char
lotte, Ward T, the Republican can
didate for mayor received a majority
of votes over his Denocratic op
ponent, but Mr. Lewis Anderson, the
Democratic candidate defeated his
Republican opponent by Z'l majori'y.
