Ann Lut'er's $1U.n0fl breach of con tract suit against Jael: V. White, wealthy mining man, was thrown out of court here today. Superior Judse L. II. Vajen tine who yesterday described the testimony regarding the White Luther relations on a trans-con-Unentul trip as the "most disso lute violation of decency that hat: ever come to my attention," to day dismissed tho action on the grounds that the verbal contract between tho two under which Ann Luther was to have been starred in four films "falls within the statute of fraud." He rte. lared that under the terms of the agree ment it would hnve required more than one year to execute. Further in his decision, Judge Valentine said: "This court will not become a party to the wrongs done by both principles in this case. This b a place for the administration of law nnd Justice, and not a place for the flagrant violation of law.' U nen tiie decision was an nounced the actress broke Into tears, while Rt another table White wore a broad smile. LOS ANfiEI.ES, Aug. 13.

SCHEDULE UNCERTAIN Hop Off for Greenland Tomorrow Held Up Un til Favorable Weather Is Reported. (Associated Preaa Leased Wire.) REYKJAVIK, Iceland. Aug. 13. The American army world fliers will continue to count up on utilizing the port of Angmng sallk as their base oh the east coast of Greenland. In which the presence of considerable ice was reported today, It was announced by Lieutenant Lowell H. Smith, the flight commander, after a conference with Rear Admiral Thomas l llagruder on the Cruis er Richmond today. Meanwhile the fliers will wait here for more favorable weather and ice condition".! at the Green land base. After plans had been completed here for the American army world filers to hop off for Green land tomorrow, weather pernilt tiiu?, a disquieting report today from iNaval Flight Commander llruce G. Lelghton. on board the Cruiser Raleigh, off the Green land coast, caused a sudden change in the schedule. Rear Admiral Thomas P. Ma Gruiler at once called a confer ence with Lieutenant Lowell II. Smith, the flight commander, and Major Clarence E. Criimrine of the nrmy air service, on board the cruiser Richmond. Reports received from Ang magsnllk after' a reconnaissance from the Raleigh stated tliat tho harbor was too small and too nenrly filled with floating ice to make it a suitable or safe land ing place for the fliers and it would be impracticable for them to hop off from it with a load. It is probable that a new landing place will be selected. The trawler Karl, sent out Monday with coal supplies for the Gertrud Rask, Is reported return ing to this port without negotiat ing the transfer of fuel. Coal supplies are available nt Angmag snlik for the Gertrud Rask. 50,000 ARE KILLED 4 (Associated Press Leuaed Wire.) SHANGHAI, Aug. 13.
