SYRONG:PRESSURE
Being Brought to Bear on the
Legislature.
To Prevent the Passage Of the Penn.
sylvania Libel Bill.

Harrisburg, Pa. April 2-Every i'm
portant newspaper In Pennsylvania
was represented at the hearing on the
Grady-Sa libel bill by Governor
Pennypacker in the hall Of the house OF
representatives. Attorney General
Carson sat with the governor through
out the hearing, but neither indicated
what would be the governors action
ON the measure.
The opening speech was made by
Charles Emory Smith, of the Philadel-
pnia Press. In his speech he said:
In the presentation of the news Of
the day errors Will inevitably creep
in. Under this bill every error, every
misprint, every mistake in any single
element of statement may be made
the basis of q suit for damages. The
bill is special legislation in that it ex-
cludes weekly newspapers. The bill is
utterly powerless to stop the particu-
lar kind of publication which 1t aims
at, but 1t encompasses legitimate pub
locations with an unlimited network
Of embarrassment and vexation; it
would cripple and curtail the presen-
tation of the regular and proper news
Of the day; it would start mp whole
swarm Of speculative shysters and
curbstone blackmailers; it infringes
the just and constitutional liberty Of
the press, and would impair that val
liable protection for public morals and
public rights which is found in the
of publicity; 1t is special
in undertaking to make
law for newspapers, while exempting
the weekly from its operations. II

agent, where the agent not only does
not commit the offense, but where he
has not even the power to prevent it.
