NEWSPAPER LOSES
COPYRIGHT SUIT
Judge Rules Against Times Because
Paper Containing Story Had
Not Reached Washington.

New York. April 6--The New York
Times did not have the stories of
Amundsen's trip TO the south pole copy
righted at the time that paper pub
lished in black type the information that
copyright had been obtafhed. The claim
OF copyright was false and the paper
had no right to stop any paper from
publishing its story in full " that paper
saw fit to do so.
These facts were decided to-day by
Judge Eacombe in the United States
Circuit Court Of Appeals when the Judge
refused to make permanent a tempo
rary injunction sought from Judge Holt
in behalf Of the Times, against the Star
Publishing Company.
Judge Lacombe refused to grant the
injunction upon the ground that the
Times article was not copyrighted at
all at the time when 1t boldly printed
the copyright line. He holds that the
facts show that the papers containing
the story had merely been deposited in
the mails addressed to the pAoper Of
fcials at Washington. and that they
had neither been received at Washington
nor acted upon by any competent au-
thorities.
This decision is of great interest to
newspapers. Under 1t there is hardly
any copyrighted" article that is en-
titled to the protection.
Nearly all OF the copyrighted news
stories and articles that bear the warn
ing lines are in the hands OF the read
ing public before the papers containing
them are received in Washington and
the effect Of Judge Lacombe's decision
is to make all such publications public
property.
