D0NiZETTi HEIRS LOSE
SUIT FOR ROYALTIES
Highest French Court Holds They
Are Entitled to Share for Only
Ten Years After His Death.
By the Axsoeiated Press

d! me Axe0ciated Press
PARIS, June S.-The heirs of Gae-
tano Donizetti. the Italian composer,
nave lost their suit for many millions
IN royalties on the composers operas
andsr q decision OF the highest court
just rendered. The court holds that
the heirs are entitled to royalties for
only ten years after the composers
death, which occurred in 1S4S. The
costs OF the suit, which extended over
fifteen years. are charged to the heirs.
The suit WIS brought by nephews-
Gtuseppi and Gaetano Donizetti-and
was against the Society of Authors
and the theaters that produced the
operas.
It was contended by counsel for the
plaintiffs that the present law grant
ing royalties for fifty years applied
but the court held that the law Of
1898 was effective when the composer
died. 1t was also contended, in behalf
Of the heirs. that the royalties applied
from the death Of the last collabora-
tor on the words Of the operas. which
occurred In 1875. emitting them to
royalties until 1925. But the court
held that the rights Of the heirs of
each collaborator run separately,
dating from each death. which is a
new construction Of the law on liter
ary proprietoeshie.

before time for the afternoon pro-
gram. but fortunately before anyone
had arrived at the tent, severe rain
and wind storm broke, and the tent
was blown down. The afternoon
program was perforce, given up.
The play "F'riendly Enemies,
which was the entertainment for tho
evening, was presented in the high
school auditorium The building was
packed to capacity, and the play was
deserving of all the good things that
have been said about it, and they
are manifold. 1t was true patriot
ism.
The plot OF this wonderful pro-
duction was staged in New York
City. Charley Phifer and Henry
Block were Germans, who have como
to America to escape the poverty
and despotism of Germany. Both
had grown very rich, the former as
a shoe manufacturer; the latter as a
banker and broker. Phifer's wife Is
subservient to his wishes in every
detail. Billy, the Phifer heir, is en-
gagged to June Block. to the satisfac-
ton of both families. Then comes
the war. Phifer is rank German
sympathizer; Block, loyal Amer;-
can. Many and bitter are the argu-
ments between these two old friends.
Billy Phifer enlists in the U. S. army,
and comes home to marry June on
the evening of his departure for
France. When his father hears of
his sons enlistment, his wrath knows
no bounds. He refuses to attend the
wedding, unless Billy and June will
fee to Mexico to escape the war. This
Of course. they refuse to do. They
are married, and Billy sails for
France. Meantime, Phifer is having
secret meetings with German spy,
to whom he gives $4,000 to help
Germany win the war. Part of this
money is used to sink the ship
Titan" This is Billy's ship, and
when Phifer finds what he has done,
he goes nearly wild with grief and
remorse, denounces Germay and
swears allegiance to the U. s. Billy
is saved, and comes home where
there is grand reconciliation.
The actors were all excellent; and
the play alone was worth the admis-
sion price.

cupied the program both afternoon

musical number, only, received an
encore. this being, annie Laurie"
One reading, Experience With

The evenings program was by the
same company, with addition Of the
lecturer, Leon Dabo. The prelude
was much better than the afternoon
program. the reader, particularly,
receiving several hearty encores.
Wednesday the last day, the Black
and White Minstrels were here. They
gave a spirited prelude to the after
Moons program, and were followed
by DIR. Frank Church, in his wonder
full lecture, "Ginger and Snuff" or
How to Land on Both Feet" Mr..
Church held his audience enraptured
for nearly two hours. He is rapid
speaker of versatile moods, now in
the depth of sublimity, now in the
height of hilarity; one moment with
eyes trimming with tears at some
sad personal experience, and, in a
flash, the rainbow Of his smile leaps
out, and with some ludicrous twist
of the tongue, his audience is con-
vulsed with laughter.

held the whole program, with ex-
ception of a few remarks by DR..
Church, who entertained the su-
dience while representatives obtain
ed vouchers for next years chau-'

The first part Of the program was
devoted to singing and acting sailor
songs, which were all excellent. The
second portion was devoted to comic
songs, given in costume. DR..
Church and the two (for the occa-
sion) black minstrels gave several
comic dialogues, and each were con-
spiciuous in monologue and comic
songs. Some Of the numbers which
produced storms Of applause were

President Leonard Leads for Pro-
ponents
president Howard Leonard, of
the Illinois Agricultural Association,
led of with the proponents argu-
ments, giving a strong talk. Robert
E. Clarke, of the I. A. A. grain mar
keting committee followed. MIR
Clarke told the legislators that the
crowds they saw about them consti-
tuted a paid lobby and read letters
to prove it. He was frequently in
| terrupted by hecklers and met with
a storm Of angry opposition at the
conclusion of his talk. President
Harry Wood, of the Illinois Farm
ers Grain Dealers Association, read
SO kilograms which constituted a
poll of sentiment taken in his organ
ization on the two Lantz bills. OF
the number 81 strongly favored the
bills. 10 opposed and three did not
commit themselves. Mr.. Wood
told the House that the executive
Icommittee of his organization had
gone on record as being in favor of
the measures.
President Joseph P. Griffin gave
a two hour address for the OPPOSE
ton. OF the two hours he spent
exactly nine minutes in discussing
the bill that was the subject of the
hearing. The rest of his time he
spent in evading the issue by hurting
bitter personalities at all county
farm advisors, at c. V. Gregory, at
the u. S. Grain Growers. Inc, at
officials of the 1. A. A. and anybody
else connected with organized farm
ers. He dilated benevolently on the
philanthropic interest of the Board
of Trade in trying to save the farm
ers from their own mistakes. He
waxed bitter over the salaries paid
organized farmers leaders but me-
elected to mention the amount of
money reaped by 1, 617 members Of
the Chicago Board of Trade from
profits on manipulating prices on
farmers grain.
A. G. Everingnam Makes Stirring
Address

took the stand. He gave one of .he
most brilliant addresses heard dur
ing the present session of the House
His rebuttal Of hard argument and
cold facts destroyed much Of the i'm
preston made by Mr.. Griffin's bar
rage of personalities. In five minutes
he had the galleries with him. Sig,
nails and cheer leaders were forgot
ten and he was cheered time after
time. AS he closed his talk amid
Interruptions from Chicago repre-
sentatives. the clique Of heckle.s
tried their tactics on him-and fail
ed utterly. Amid some of the loud
est applause Of the day he silenced
his hecklers with well-put answers
to their rapid-fire questions.
