The Dyer anti-lynching bill is
dead.
The Senate Republicans capitu-
lated last night after another day
Of futile effort to break down
the Democratic filibuster which
has tied up all business since
Tuesday.
DECIDED AT CAUCUS. D.,
Agreement to accept defeat and
discard the measure was reached
at a stormy two-hour caucus. An
nouncement Of the surrender was
made by Senator Lodge, the Re-
publican leader. Emerging from
the caucus, he said to awaiting
correspondents:
"I am authorized to notify the
the bill at the present session or
the next session"
WAS there a filibuster in the
.caucus?" asked a correspondent
who probably had missed a dinner
engagement while waiting around
two hours for the session to end.
"There was a good deal Of dis
cussion," Senator Lodge replied.
The present session to which
Lodge referred in his announcement
ends at IL o'clock tomorrow. The
next session begins at once, and
continues until noon March 4. With
the bare margin Of control held by
the Republicans in the next Con-
gress there Is no hope that the
Dyer bill can be brought out again.
It would have to start all over
again and be passed anew by the
House.
DEMOCRATS JUBILANT.
The action Of the Republicans
last night marks a complete victory
for the Democrats. They started
their filibuster early In the week
with the declaration that the Senate
would not be allowed to transact
any business whatever. not even
confirmation of important nonf-
nations, while the anti-lynching
measure remained before the Senate.
They clamped down the lip tight until
the Thanksgiving holiday and put
Il on again yesterday as soon as the
new Senator from Iowa, Brookhart,
was sworn in.

as the filibuster was kept up until

AUTHOR WINS
FILM SUIT TO
PROTECT WORK
James Oliver Curwood Victor
In Case of Vast Importance
To Writers.

NEW YORK, July 2s.-A distinct
and far.reachjng victory for authors
regarding their rights in motion-pic'
ture production came from a decision
yesterday by Judge Knox, In the
United States district court. -
The decision was in the case OF
James Oliver Curwood, well-known
author, against Affiliated Distribu.
tors, Inc. Edwin Carew Picture Cor.
poration, Warner Brothers, and
others.
Curwood sued to restrain the de-
PENDANTS from using his name in con-
,nection with the exploitation of mo-
ton picture called II Am the Law,
in which two Northwest mounted po'
licemen are the principal characters.
The defendants advertised the photo
play as based on Curwood's short
story, The Poetic Justice of Uko
San" a story of two hunters and
three bears, none OF the characters
or situations being similar to those
in Il Am the Law"
While II was proved that Curwood
has received as high as $50 900 from
other producers for photoplay stories.
1t was shown that the defendants
had bought The Poetic Justice of
Uko San" for not more than $500.
1t being an old story. the rights of
which Mr.. Curwood did not fully con.
troll.
The defendants argued that they
purchased nothing but Curwood's
name and had not used any of his
story. Curwood testified that mo
reputable author would prostitute his
work by selling his name"
Declaring that he was wholly un.
able to believe that an author of Cur
woods standing would jeopardize his
reputation by selling his name, Judge
Knox reserved the question of dam.
ages for further consideration.

PARIS, July 26.-The efforts of

with its latest good laugh.
Arriving at Cherbourg, the Har-

anxious to ply him with questions
regarding the object Of his visit

SPORTS VOGUE
FOR WOMEN IS

No Longer Any Danger OF

Girls, Says Expert.
BY WINNIFRED VAN DUZER.
al, -.. r, UpIyersal Service.


NEW YORK, July 26.-Listen,
ladies'; unless you wish the world TO
know that you're past thirty-five,
DON'T PLAY GOLF! But II you're
ambitious to figure in the flapper
class, buy yourself racquet and a
set of tennis balls. Tennis players
are youthful; twenty Is their aver
age age!
This inside stuff was purveyed to-
day by the sales manager OF one OF
the largest and most famous sport
ing goods and togs houses In Ameri'
ca.
He said further that out-of-doors
athletic sports had fallen off about
20 per cent in popularity among
women over twenty-five years OF age
within the past two years. He con-
tinued,
Despite the response Of our na.
tionaI life to the call of field and
stream. court, track and diamond,
American women are not taking up
sports seriously. They do not find
In them the absorption that the WON.
en- of England, for example, find.
"Our girls OF the school age are
particularly fond of tennis.
No Longer Fad.
But when those same girls are
two >er three years older, their
athletics are refined about rs. per
cent. Most of them play tennis
little, ride a very little, and drive
a motor much less.
THE vogue for muscular develop
ment that grew out Of women's
part in the war. reached it's height
two years ago. 1t is true we were
in a fair way to become a nation

what with all the work they sup.
plemented by strenuous sports.
"But last year. the number who
athletic goods decreased by 20 per
cent. Today you'll read In the
newspapers that corsets are coming
back! According to this expert
authority, swimming ranks as the
favorite athletic sport Of all women.
young and old. He said:
I'VE sell more bathing suits,
bathing caps. and water.wings than
we do of all other sports articles
combined, unless perhaps II is golf
balls.
"Since we do not carry the fragile
type Of bathing outfit that is bound
to curl up and die at first contact
with danlpness. we assume that each
suit going out Of the shop means
woman swimmer, or bather at
least"'
Hiking In Favor.
Second in favor. with 1922 girl, is
hiking as q sport. However. since
this calls for the up-to-date knicker
suits, II was explained that many OF
them serve merely as atmosphere.
This man. who seems to have pene.
trated the peculiar mechanism Of
American femininity and discovered
why the wheels go round, stated that
there is no country in the world
where the women enjoy playing the
great childhood game Of pretend"
as do the women of the United States.
He added:
About half the tennis, or golf, or
motoring. or hiking apparel sold out
OF this shop never in the world were
intended to be worn for the purpose
Of their creation.
They are used for the street and
for no other place. Our women like
to give the impression OF being ath.
letes without really going through
the stress Of becoming athletic"
Motoring ranged third in favor
among our women as an athletic
sport, according to the records Of this
shop. Tennis is fourth; golf fifth
and riding sixth.
