following incident in the hotel career Of
Potter Palmer of Chicago: I'm those
days MIR. Palmer was noted for his sud

ployes. An employe might be working
with no thought of harm, when 'chug'
would 80 the axe and off would fall his
head. One day Mr.. Palmer went up to
his cashier, who had held the job for scv-
eral months. and to whom Mr. Palmer
had never spoken. The cashier was an

emergencies. Mr.: Palmer had stro.led
into the office and paused a moment to

DECISIONS IN A LIBEL SUIT.
Mistake In Privileged Communication
Not ActiOnable

Mistake In Privileged Commu nication
Not Actionable.
Judge Entllich in a recent decision dis
missing Il libel suit against John b. Damp
man, proprietor of the Morning Herald of
Reading, Pa, made the following rulings:
IAN account of criminal proceeding
is matter proper for public information
and is Il privileged communication.
"A mistake in Il privileged communica-
ton, if it be Il necessary part of the
report OF the occurrence and such mat
ter of detail as would usually be inserted
in such report, partakes of the privilege
though it may in point of fact be untrue
'"The presumption of malice where an
incorrect statement has been made in ii
privileged communication, though the
statement may reflect upon an individual,
KS rebutted by the fact that reasonable
care was exercised i'll verifying the state
ment and that there was reasonable and
probable cause for believing it to be true.
"A newspaper publisher is not to be
held to any stricter accountability in the
conduct of his business than other per-
sons engaged in business enterprises.
"The question of whether or not Il
communication is privileged is question
for the court and not for the jury.
Gin an account of an arrest actually
the location of the house and the name
Of it's proprietress partakcs of the privi-
lego attaching to the account itself as an
integral part of the whole and an en-
tirely relevant detail of the occurrence,
