wins LIBEL SUIT

LOS ANGELES, July S0.-By
decision of the supreme court rem
dered yesterday the Los Angeles
Record will be compelled to pay
what is probably the record price
ever paid by newspaper for story.
The higher tribunal upheld the inn
post of $4,000 damages granted By
jury to Miss Mabel Claire Erwin. a
former reporter on the paper.
The story which the court held to
be libelous appeared in the sporting
section of the paper, and 1t implied
that the woman writer and the Chi
nese pugilist, All Wing, were on
terms of friendly intimacy The
story was written in jest, but it
proved rather expensive joke for
the publishers of the paper, as it will
cost then $367O word.
