ATTEMPT TO STOP DANCER FROM SUITS SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 15—Counsel for Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney planned today to apply to Federal Judge John S. Partridge for a permanent injunction against Evan Burrows Montaine, beautiful dancer, to enjoin her from bringing further actions against his wealthy client following the complete collapse of the dancer's $1,000,000 breach of promise suit. A jury in federal court, after hearing evidence in the case despite the absence of Miss Fontaine, found that the plaintiff and her mother had conspired to extort money from young Whitney that the defendant had not promised to marry her and that he was not the father of her son. Whitney was the chief witness for the defense, denying all of the Joshua Carrington was rich and powerful. He was the kind of a man who has his way if he had to buy it. Everything he touched turned to gold. He schemed to carry out a big sugar deal that would add millions to his accumulated wealth. The deal was as crooked as a dog's blind legs and would have been successful but for the interference of Douglas Kenyon, in love with his granddaughter, Jean Bronson, who loses a bank job on account of Carrington's will. Jean refuses to do several things her grandfather tells her to do, so she is turned out of her palatial home. She goes upon the stage and meets a man of the world, Horace Fleming, a theatrical man, who becomes fascinated by Jean's looks and attractiveness. He makes overtures. Her sweetheart turns up in time to avenge the insult and gives the man a sound thrashing. Jean returns Kenyon a packet of letters stolen by Carrington'shirrelings and the letters are the evidence that will send her grandfather to prison if turned over to the authorities. All ends well when Carrington calls off his unscrupulous plans and permits the sweethearts to have their way. This is just a gist of the big society and stage production, "The Spitfire," which will be shown at the United theatre Wednesday and Thursday. This splendid evening's entertainment is headed by an all-star cast and you will surely find your favorite among them.
