THE NEWSPAPER COPYRIGHT.

Mr.. watterson Again Appears Before the
Library Committee.
Special TO the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, March 28-Henry Watterson
appeared before the House judiciary committee
to-day in support of the news copyright bill.
He argued that the object of the bill was to pre-
vent piracy that placing the limit of time during
which the copyright shall hold would not pre-
vent an afternoon paper copying from a morn
ing paper, or vice versa Mr.. Watterson held
that the news collected by the Associated Press
and by the principal dailies is property, and that
it should be protected. He was questioned by
members of the committee, and was unable to
explain why news that is property for
eight hours ceases to be property and
subject to protection after that period
of time. 1t was urged by member of the com
mittee that the government cannot patent
fact, and that while it is true that news
collected by a newspaper is property so long as
it remains unpublished, the minute it comes
from the press and is sold as newspaper it is
the property of every person who chooses to use
it as SUCH
A member of the judiciary committee says
that the committee, if it reports the bill at all,
will report adversely; but the chances are that
no report will be made.

THE DANvILLE INQUIRY.
The Investigation Into the Election Riot Re-
summed by the Senate Committee.

The Investigation Into the Election Riot Re-
summed by the Senate Committee.
WASHINGTON, March 28.-The Danville inves-
tigaton was resumed this morning and twenty
five witnesses were sworn at once. VIM. B.
Kurtz postmaster of Waynesboro, 200 miles
from Danville, testified that he heard of the
Danville riot first on Sunday, the day after the
riot He had been told by the mail messenger,
who was an extelegraph operator, that tele-
gram passed over the wires ordering a large in
voice of pistols to Danville.
This was objected to by Senator Vance, and
the objection sustained.
Kurtz heard the jollifcation speech after the
election. A Democratic speaker said he thanked
God for the Danville riot. 1t was blessing in
disguise.
Other witnesses testified that the Danville cir
cular was extensively circulated before the cleo
ton, and had the effect of changing many votes.
The Democrats relied on the race issue in the
canvass.
The Republican side suspended examination
at this point and Senator Vance began the ex-
animation in rebuttal by calling Peter " Booth,
a grocer of Danville. He described the riot. He
saw the previous quarrel and when it termin-

to judge Americans by the few who kick up
their monkey shines now and then to the dis
gust of everybody.
Whatever may be the fears of pessimists,
the danger-line is passed, and it is foolish to
talk of foreign domination to our hurt. If
American institutions are injured it will be
because American citizens consent and con-
nive. There is more danger to-day from the
demagogy of Democracy than from all
foreign complications combined. Probably
not another nation in the world could have
as wisely and firmly as American statesmen
have The warp and wool of American citi-
zenship, spun from the intelligence and con-
sent of individual Judgment, is strong enough
to endure all that may be required of it. Our
public polity has no place for the communist,
the nihilist, nor the dynamiter. Governed by
public opinion, we are safer than any autoc
racy, because public opinion in America has
been and is being educated rightly by agencies
tnaI cannOC ana Will no1 10 Improperly Coh-
trolled. We are almost the only people in the
world that have no occasion for strong military
forces ready to throttle public opinion and
constantly on the alert for seditions and as
sassinations. We can improve and doubtless
will improve; but even as we are, we may
congratulate ourselves that while we are the
freest people in the world we are among the
safest and most prosperous.

ated the witness turned to the crowd of colored
people and asked them to leave. They refused
and displayed pistols, saying they had been
misused and would not leave. When the firing
began there were about fifteen whites and 200
colored men. There was no alignment of the
whites Heard no command to fire. There
would have been no possibility of missing the
crowd of blacks if the whites had been seeking
to kill them. Witness saw the colored men
fire. He fully believed if the whites had not
fred they would all have been murdered. The
whites ceased firing when the negroes began to
run. Some negroes turned as they ran and
fred back. The witness never heard of any
pre- arrangement to bring about the riot. In all
meetings attended by the witness the leaders
cautioned their followers to avoid rioting
and violence The election was a quiet one.
There never was quieter one The witness
repeatedly tried to get the colored people to vote
but without success. They said they didn't
want to vote. The witness heard portion of
Sims's speech. In his opinion, it had great
deal to do with causing the riot The witness
went out without pistols. After the thing com
menced he went back and got pistol, but the
firing was over when he got back. George
Adams had testified that the witness fired at
him. The witness said it was untrue The
witness did not shoot at anybody
w. j. Dance, young man, member of the
firm in front of whose office the riot took place,
was called. He described the riot. He seized
his gun, cooked both barrels and stood in the
door of the Office. He didn't fire. but leveled his
gun when he saw the colOred men aiming their
pistols. The bullet marks on the front of the
Office building could not have been made by
shots from the white crowd 1t was in this
Office that witnesses have said white men went
and supplied themselves with arms and ammu
milton, there being according to several
colored witnesses, large quantity of arms and
ammunition stored there. The witness said he
was the only man in the office, and kept
the crowd out He refused to let any
body in except two or three of his
friends. There were no arms in the Office except
the gun held by the witness and one old pistol
which was not serviceable 1t was absolutely
untrue that there were arms and ammunition in
the Office, and that the men went in there and
supplied themselves. 1t had been testified that
four young men were seen going into the Office
on the day of the riot with two guns apiece.
This was false. 1t was false that young men
were in the back yard of the Office that forenoon
cleaning guns The witness believed that if the
whites had not fred they would all have been
murdered. The negroes fired as they ran At
ter the negroes began to run the white men did
not fire. The witness saw some twenty five or
thirty black men with pistols. All he could see
in the crowd had pistols The witness was pres
emit at the meeting of his club when resolution
was passed to withdraw all patronage from the
Coalitionists
