TO REFORM LIBEL LAWS.
An Effort Undertaken by the League
of Press Clubs.

An Effort Undertaken by the League
of Press Clubs.
The International League of Press Clubs,
at it's recent meeting in Atlanta, Endorsed
the movement inaugurated by the Pennsyl-
vana State Editorial Association to secure
reforms in the libel laws of the country lin
order that newspaper editors and publishers
may have the ordinary protection given
ordinary Etigants.' The propositions ema-
mating from the Pennsylvania association
have been submitted to more than score
of state associations and received their ap
prevail
The propositions made include many i'm
portant suggestions. 1t Is declared that
punitive damages should not be recovered
in any civil action for libel, because they
are a great temptation to perjury and in
conflict with sound public policy. In this
respect it is stated that the laws of most
of the states largely discriminate against
journalism as a class by permitting re-
covery of damages in excess Of the amount
actually sustained 1t is also proposed that
no civil or criminal suit for libel should be
maintained unless the plaintiff or prose-
cutor notifies the publisher, editor or writer
of the errors in the publication, and no con-
viction should follow in a criminal suit and
damages in a civil suit should be limited to
the actual pecuniary loss sustained by the
plaintiff in case a full retraction shall be
promptly made as consp:cuously as the al
legged libel was given. The enactment of
equitable laws to protect successful de-
PENDANTS in newspaper libel suits of
purely speculative and vexatious character
against the heavy expense, costs and fees
necessarily incurred is demanded. Other
excellent suggestions are made and the
propositions conclude with a declaration
that just laws should be enacted in every
state for the impartial trial Of all cases, in
Guiding libel. wherein political or personal
passions or prejudices become involved, pro-
v:dinA for a change of venue when neces-
sary and for the selection of special jurors
when the honest administration Of justice
reasonably calls for it.

DIR. TODD TO GO ABROAD.
Changes to BE Made Mt Hamline and
Other NJ. f. Churches.

Other NJ. f. Churches.
Rev. Ebert S. Todd, D. D.. pastor of Ham
line Methodist Episcopal Church, has been
granted long leave of absence by the Off
cial board of the congregation, and will
preach the last sermon he will deliver at
Hamline Church as its pastor, unless he
is called to the pastorate some years hence
on the last evening of the old year at the
watch night service the doctor has been
in the ministry actively for more than twen-
ty-five years. and ne now feels that he is
entitled to some rest and recreation. He
will leave the first week in January for E,l-
rope, and after spending some time IN travel
on the continent will then go to Egypt and
the Holy Land, where he will spend the
bcst part OF his vacation returning in about
six months to this country In March he
would have had to sever hts connection with
Hamline Church by reason of the eXpira ton
of the limit in the Methodist Church, which
allows ministers to serve in one charge only
for five successive years. The vacant p,1lnit
Will not be filled until the meeting of the
conference in Baltimore in the spring I'm
I'll that time, in order to hold together the
membership OF the church, which has one
or the largest congregations in the city, a
itmber OF ministers Of national reputation
nave been engaged to fill the pulpit until the
regular preacher is appointed. Among
snese are the Rev 3D. L; Harmon, D. D.,
president of Drew Theological Seminary;
Rev. George Edward Reed, d. D., LII. D.,
PRESIDENT of Dickinson College, Carlisle, Pa,
and Rev. c. B. Masden, D. D., of New
haven, Conn. AS soon as Dr. Todd returns
from his travels he will enter at once into
me active ministry again, and expects to be
appointed to a charge in this conference,
either i'll this city or in Baltimore.
For some months there has been a good
deal of speculation going on amongst the
local Methodists as to what action the an
nual conference, which meets in the early
Fart of March, will take in filling the vacant
puiplts in this city. Three will be vacant
by reason of the expiration of the five-year
limit. and two of them are among the larg-
est Methodist churches in the city, namely.
Hamline. Rev. E. S. Todd d. D., and Nc
kendree, Rev. L. T. Waterman, D. D. The
other affected is Gorsuch, Rev. ]. H. NJ
Lemon, pastor. In addition to these three
there will be- it is thought, changes made
in several other churches.

and listened to the address of ex-Controller
William Lawrence of Ohio, the president of

AGAINST THE SUGAR TRUST.
Attempt to EnjOin Its Doing Business
in New York.

Recent rumors of an impending legal at
tack upon the American Sugar Refining
Company .crystallzed yesterday at New
York. when papers were served upon Sec
rotary John r. Searles in a suit to restrain
the company from doing business in that
state. Mr.. John E. Parsons of counsel for
the Aemican Sugar Refining Company said:
Il have only glanced over the papers
They proceed upon the idea that the Amer
lean Sugar Refining Company is a combi-
nation of the large number of previously
existing corporations and individual sugar
refiners; that this combination constitutes
a monopoly and is in violation of law
There are further allegations, all for the
purpose of establishing that the company
is monopoly"
