Debate On Press,
The Haitian question was debated
fevetfshly, but some Of the delegates
said more time was devoted to dis
cussion rs to whether the press should
be admitted than to the merits Of the
question.
In the meantime the japanese before
another. commission were gaining what
for them constitutes a great moral
victory on the problem Of racial equal
fty. The resolution they succeeded in
having approved calls upon all states
to adopt mutually and reciprocaily uni
form regulations for the admittance
and departure Of foreigners without
distinction of nationality, religion or
occupation. '.'
The japanese delegation set forth
its explicit desire that the subject
should be discussed without involving
Immigration. and this reservation fig
ures in the protocol of the resolu-
ton. :. However, the delegates Of the
variopS countries appeared to consider
the resolutions as a direct bid for In
sistence on equality OF treatment for
all nations in immigration matters.

$40, 600 Is Awarded
To Former Dancer
From Rich Banker
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press 'e; "a:
NEW YORK, July 1.-Madrienne
Dever. former dancer, won a judg-
ment for $4,000 today in her
100000 breach of promise suit
against Philip NJ, Shaw, wealthy
banker. The case was tried by
jury in the supreme court, before
Justice Giegerich.
Justice Giegrich denied a mo-
ton of Herbert C. Smlzhe, counsel
for Shaw, that the verdict be set
aside as contrary to the weight of
evidence. The usual thirty-day
q stay to protect an appeal was
granted.
In his summation yesterday Mr..
Smithe declared that his client was
.'tentitled to the presidency of the
fools club, because, although he
is hfty-one years old, he yet does
not know what it Is to withstand
the Establishments and wishes of a
young, woman" Shaw admitted
during the trial that he agreed to
marry Miss Dever, but on the con-
-dition of his obtaining a divorce
from his wife.
