LODI LIBEL LAVE.
Senator Fitzpatriclz's Bill Would Pre-
vent Hold Up of Newspapers

The editors of Kansas who fear the
law concerning libel will be pleased with
the bill introduced this morning by Sen
ator Fitzpatrick. which changes the
present libel laws as relating to news
papers,
The bill provides that when news
paper prints a libelous story concern
ing any person the editor cannot be
sued for more than actual damages, pro
viding he prints a retraction within
three days after being notified that the
article is lbelous. In a weekly news
paper the retraction must be made in
the next issue of the paper providing
the notice is served more than three
days before the date of the issue OF the
paper
During campaigns daily papers pub
fishing libelous articles later than ten
days before election can be sued the
same as under the present law, and in
the case Of weekly papers libelous ar
ticles win be subject to the same PEN
alties as now if published later than two
weeks before elections. This provision
is calculated to protect politicians from
late attacks by papers without giving
the person attacked a. chance to repndA-
ate the charges in the article.
The bill provides that if a man can
show that his business has been dam
aged by a newspaper article to the ex-
tent Of 81 200 he can collect that amount,
but he can not collect more than 500
exemplary damages.

sentative John Seaton, OF Atchison. felt
himself aggrieved. and opened up the
house session this morning with a dis
cussion Of personal privilege. In the
course of his talk Captain Seaton der
clared his opposition to the semi-centen-
NAL exposition, through suggesting that
lack of favor as a reason of discourtesy
from the chair which was occupied at
the time by Ed McKeever
The incident was the one wherein cap
tain Seaton was granted unanimous
consent to introduce a. bill, and the chair
acceded gruubfingly.
Captain Seaton said. 1.-THE speaker

confusion would result.

have confusion than at the close Of the
