 There was only one woman candi- date for the senate-Sen. Hattie w.. Caraway, D., Ark, seeking reelection for her second consecutive six-year team. If reelected-and nomination of the Democratic party in Arkansas is virtually tantamount to election she will be the only member of her sex among the other 95 senators.

DEFENDANTS GET
 COURT JUDGMENTS
Women Riding as Guests Lose Out in S5O,OOO
 Civil Actions

J.fdge Earnest c. Simpson in su- periOr court today granted defend- ants judgments in the $50,O00 civil actions of Elsie Eckhardt and Gladys Ornlond of New York City against the Connecticut Company and the Yale Auto Parts Go. of New Haven.
 The women sued claiming they were injured Sept. 25, 1887 in a collision involving a Conn. Co. bus and a vehicle owned by the Yale Auto Parts Go. They were riding i nthe latter vehicle as guest of Louis Isakoff.
 Judge Simpson states that the proximate cause of the collision, which occurred at Ives Corner, Cheshire, was the negligence of Isakoff.
 He considered the main question at issue whether the Yale Auto Parts could be held responsible for his negligent actions of Isakoff, who was not on company business. Judge Simpson says that the company can nit be held accountable for such acts, even though Isakoff is vice. president of the concern.
 Attorney Herman J. Weisman appeared for the plaintiffs, with Carmody 6 Thoms defending.

pies" Representative Louis Ludlow
OF Indiana today called on Attorney
General Cummings to initiate imme-
diately a study "of the major crime
of lynching" in the United States,
with view to submitting an anti
lynching measure with administra-

uary. Every lynehing is blot
against the Nation" Ludlow told the
Attorney General, and therefore there
is every reason the Government should
proceed to wipe out lynchings, Just as
it prepared and had passed the new
effective law against kidnapping.
In his letter to the Attorney Gen.
eral, Ludlow suggested that J. Edgar
Hoover, director of the Federal Bu-
reau Of Investigation and head G.
man, be appointed on a committee to
study the lynching evil and draft an
anti-lynching bill.
