Woman, Aged 80
to Get $781,891
for Stolen Play
Oliver Morosco and Richard Walton
Tully Must Pay for Plagiarism
Gave Them Fortune
New York, July 27. Mrs
Grace
A. Fendler, the little SO-year-oldl
playwright, who has been living on
the bounty of friends, has come into
her own. Oliver Morosco, the pro
ducer, and Richard Walton Tully
ttit nuthnr who wprp nrrnsprl of nla.
gairizing 'the frail octogenarian's
novel and who reaped a fortune by
producing it as "The Bird of Para
dise," must pay her $781,891.
For eight years Mrs. Fendler, a
former newspaper wrtier, fought an
uphill fight in the courts for rec
ognition as the re-al author of one
of the biggest successes of the stage
She spent all her funds, and bue for
the aid of kir.dly supporters would
have been unable to pursue to victory)
the legal battle, fraught with loop
holes and delays.
"The Bird of Paradise" opened
September 12, 1911, and became a
termendous hit and played in many
countries until May 29, 1920. The
play depicted beautiful scenes in
Hawaii and had a special sentimen
tal appeal.
Although Mrs. Fendler in 1912
brought suit charging that her novel.
"In Hawaii." had been pirated by
Tully and Morosco, the action was
not brought to trial until 12 years
later. Meantime the play brought
into prominence such actresses ar
Leonore Ulric and Lauretta Taylor
established Morosco as a successful
producer and made Tully famous.
Morosco admitted his share of the
profits to be $173,530. According tc
the referee's comptation, Tully must
pay $608,361 received as profits and
royalties. World-Herald.

Russia Continues
Effort
Search for' Amundsen and His Com
panions Not to Cease 3rd Ice
Ship Assigned the Work
London, July 25. Despite the
lapse of sixty days since the dirigible
i Italia crashed on the ice near Foyn
island and of thirty-seven -6ince Roald
Amundsen with five companions in
a French seaplane was swallowed by
the Arctic silences, efforts to obtain
trace of these missing men continues
apace.
The third Russian ice ship to be
Assigned to the search was given her
orders today. This Vessel is the Se-
dov. The soviet rescue commission
in Moscow ordered her commander
to explore the southernmost points
of Franz Josef land and then push
northwestward.
In taking this course, the Russians
are agreeing with Gottfried Hansen
a Norwegian naval officer and ex
plorer, who recently advanced the
i idea that the Amundsen party may
have landed safely in the region of
Franz Josef land. This is far east
of the Spitzbergen area, where pre
vious searches have been concen
trated. Commander Hansen said that
if Amundsen had managed to come
down in that region, he might not
be heard from for several months.
There is plenty of game there on
which the party could subsist.
While the Sedov is heading for
this new area of search, the Krassin,
which made an enviable record of
rescues around Spitzbergen will be
en route to northern Norway for re
pairs. The sturdy 10,000 tonntr suf
fered damage to her propeller by
bucking the heavy ice floes thru
which she forced her way to the
Nobile camp. Efforts to repair the
damage at Kings bay failed because
of lack of proper equipment.
Berlin, July 25. Erich Stoll,
German news reel operator, who
went to Spitzbergen to take pictures
of the Italia rescue operations, is
quoted in a Mittag Am Zeitung dis
patch from Stockholm as saying there
were frequent differences between
Pilot Chukhnovsky, Russian flier
aboard the Krassin, and Capt. Filippo
Zappi, one of the men rescued with
the Malmgren group.
Stoll said that the differences were
chiefly over Captain Zappi's insist
tence that photographs taken by
Chukhnovsky plane which originally
discovered the walking party be de
veloped immediately whereas Chuk
hnovsky preferred to keep the nega
tives until better developing condi
tions were available. State Journal.

Last evening Mr. and Mrs. T. H.

Smith Has
Schplars Seek j
Facts for Him'
Governor Has Gained New Dignity
but Essentially Is Unchanged ,
Lets Others Worry j
Albany. N. Y., July 26. Governor
Alfred E. Smith, in announcing
plans for his holiday on Long Island,
made two facts clear he is letting
others do the worrying and for the
campaigning. 1
It is his unvarying method at
times of crisis or intense struggle, j
Months ago, two members of the
faculty of Columbia university were
delegated"to assemble and organize
the material on the basis of which
Governor Smith will outline his fin- i
ancial policies. Other experts have
made a searching analysis of argri
cultural economics.
Every Issue Studied. j
In fact, every major issue of the j
campaign has been the subject ofj
expert research. The governor, ir !
25 years of public life, has devel- J
oped his own ideas on all these sub- j
jects, but his method always has been
to ampily his own observations and
experience by evpert findings. He
is no reader of text books; he hap
a quick impatience with prolixity
and abstractions. His unfailing prac
tice is to assign some person in whom
he has confidence to investigate a
given subject and report succinctly
and only on essentials. With a sheaf
of outlines in hand, he dictates night
ly, at the executive mansion, revis
ing his manuscript the next day re
casting it and forging it into a noti
fication speech.
His desk is strewn with photo
graphs, trophies and mementoes all
denoting loyalties and close friendly
asociations with which Al Smith'?
life always has been richly endowed
They illuminate a background and
possibly a future, for never has Al
Smith's rise in station brough a
severance of, friendship.
No one can say that Governor
Smith's political advisors have im
posed a new dignity upon him, but
a new dignity is there. The news
paper conferences open as usual with
the distribution of cigars by Bobbj
Fitzmaurice, the governor's confiden
tial secretary, but there is a deletion
of one important gesture. In the
past the governor, when finding twr
half filled boxes of cigars in his
drawer, would toss the contents of
one box into the other and smash
the empty box on his knee with boy
ish delight. This, as well as the
badinage about the particular brand
of "rope" available, is now dispensed
with. The cigar passing is done quiet
ly and decorously.
Speaks More Carefully.
The old careless, colloquial speech
is shaded considerably, less color
ful perhaps, but none the less clean
cut and emphatic. The old habit
of occasionally dropping words from
the side of the mouth has been
abandoned. In dress also, the gov
ernor has found a new retraint. If
the opponents of Governor Smith ex
pect him to present to the country
a chromo of old time east side Tam
many politician they will be vastly
disappointed.
One wonders whether the new in
vestitute of dignity will get in the
way of his unfailing power to com
mand personal regard and loyalty.
Probably net. for a deeper secret of
Ay Smith's success lies in an in
tellectual dignity, which cannot be
obscured, either by conformity or
the lack of it. The "happy warrior"
has many surface adaptations, but
essentially he is unchanged.

STEAMER NOT IN DANGER
Oslo. Norway. July 26. The 1,800
passengers aboard the German motor
ship Monte Cervantes, which struck
a rock in Pell Sound, Spitzbergen,
yesterday, tonight was relieved of all
fears. The vessel, it was declared,
was in no danger and would be able
to resume its voyage southward Sat
urday or Sunday. The Russian ice
breaker Krassin which rushed to the
aid of the Monte Cervantes yester
day when the latter's S. O. S. sig
nals were picked up, was standing
by and helping to pump water from
a flooded compartment.
The Krassin was about to go to
Xorv.ay for repairs to damages re
ceived in battering her Way thru the
ice floes to rescue seven survivors
of the Italia disaster when the ap
peal for aid was broadcast..
The Monte Cervantes w'as on a
tour of the Spitzbergen region. When
the vessel struck the rock water en
tered two of its bulkheads. These
were being pumped out today.
The diver from the Krassin was
lowered into the Arctic waters to
examine the damage to the German
vessel. It is probable that the Kras
sin will stand by for two days.
