cess Fedora and the Swallow Boston
These are the dances about which
society folk in many cities are very
enthusiastic and these steps arc seen
to good effect I'm Miss McClafferty's
studio. The dances are dainty and
graceful and are decidedly prettieI
than dances which have prevailed in
past seasons Miss McClafferty has
a childrens. class which meets every
Saturday morning from 1880 10 Il
o'clock. and the little folk are also
being instructed in some new steps
which they dance very prottily

NOT LIBEL
TO SAY One
ALIVE IS DEAD

NEW YORK, Dec "a To publish
the announcement that living person
has died is not libel and cannot in
iure the reputation. according to a
decision handed down by the Appel
late division Of the Supreme Court,
Second department, sitting in Brook.
lyn The decision was written by
Presiding Justice jerks and concur
red in by Justices Hirschberg, Burr,
Thomas and Carr. It is said to be
the first ruling on the subject by a
higher court in this country.
The case grew out Of this adver-
tisement printed in the New York
Times:
Died, Brooklyn-Cohen, Bealey, 1873
St. Marks avenue, May 6.
The advertisement was received by
the Times in the usual way and bore
on the back of the Endorsement of the
person inserting it. as is required OF
all such advertisements in the Times
Bealey Cohen, who was very mach
alive, cOntended that the ADVERTISED
ment referred TO him, that It subject
ed him to general scorn, rldicule
and contempt" and, being a minor
sued through "a guardian, Siegfried G.
Gilbert the Times for $4,000. The
Times demurred on the ground that
the complaint did not state facts sufi-
cient to constitute a cause Of action
The demurrer was dismissed by Su-
preme Justice Frederick IT, Crane
and from this decision the Times ap.
pealed This appeal was decided
yesterday in favor of the Times, the
higher court ordering the action dis.
missed with leave to the plaintiff tC
plead over again within 90 days
THE question whether this publica.
ton could be libel per Sc said the
Appellate Division, involves the in
curry whether it could have injured
the reputation of the plaintiff. Here
is bare it7m Of news in a newspaper
The item states that an event has
come 70 pass which is looked for il
the history of every man, is regarded
as beyond his control, and therefore
does not permit the inference thai
the man has done any act or suffered
any act which he need not have suf
fered. Prematurity is the sole pecul
iarity.
How can the publication of sucl
an event merely as a matter of newi
hold up the subject to scorn. e
hatred, to contempt. or TO ridiculc, 81
that his reputation is impaired? Sucl
publication may be unpleasant; i
may annoy or irk the subject thereof
it may subject him to joke or to les
or to banter from those who know
him or know of him, even to the eX
tent of affecting his feelings, but thi
in itself is not enough.
The court does not state what fat
should overtake that facetious type O
person who, acting under malicious
intent or a misguided sense of humor
writes death notice of lyinl
friend acquaintance, or enemy, and
imposing upon a newspaper, cause
it to be printed as an advertisement

NEWSPAPER ACT ATTACKED
Proceedings Started in Court Against

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington. - The opening attack
upon the constitutionality of the Sec
tons of the recent postal appropria-
ton act requiring newspapers to give
postal authorities access to their cir
culation records and publish the
names of their stockholders and bond
holders. as well as to label paid poll
teal articles as advertisements, was
made before the Supreme Court Of
the United States in a printed brief
filed by Robert c. Norris and G. b.
Plants, on behalf of the Journal of
Commerce and Commercial Bulletin
of New York. The case is set for ar.
gument orally on December 2.
The attorneys for the newspapers
contend principally that the sections
violate the constitutional liberty OF
the $4,000 newspapers, magazines and
periodicals published throughout the
United States.
Unlike public service corpora ions
the newspapers, the attorneys claim,
possess no elements which give the
government right to regulate their
business, except insofar as the public
morals or public welfare is concerned.
