Frankfort, KY, April 21-Henry Yout-
sey was recalled for further cross exam
inatfon in the trial of James Howard to-
day. ,SQ F$zssy2 s@%E ia{$ TEys &sEs!
Youtsey was asked if he did not re-
fuse to tell Assistant Auditor Johnson
where he was when tGoeber was shot. .
i He said j ohnson asked him the ques-
ztion and that he told J ohnson he was in
safe place. Johnson said that was not
sufficiently definite as the detectives had
called for particular data as to where Rall
employees Of the office were when the
shot was fired. Youtsey then told him
he was In the toilet =rpom the tbasement
Of the executive building. Z Ss.Es,
Youtsey denied that he had ever told
General A. Leads prior to the shooting
that Goebel once beat him out of a fee
and thatshe despised him. He admitted
that he told R. H.sit itherspoon and other
relations that the newspaper reports that
he had named / Jim Howard as the man
who fired the shot were without founda-
ton. 5IE siEgsz& iEg a..
.It was my defense at that time said
Youtsey, 'that Howard and me were
strangers and I told everybody I had
never seen Howard till we met in Jail.
Further along in the Interrogation Yout-
sey declared that. from and after the
shooting of Goebel all of the others en-
gagged in the killing conspired together
to clear themselves and to throw the en-
tire responsibility of the crime upon him.
Responding to- questions as to negotia-
tions with DR.. Johnson to kill Goebel,
Youtsey said he went to see, Senator De-
Doe and told him Johnson and others
were willing to doit. Senator Deboe, ac-
cording to the witness. replied that enough
democrats were going to vote with Tay-
1or to retain him in office and it. would
not be necessary TO kill Goebel Deboe
said it must not be done.
The witness went back and told John
son what DebOe said.
Johnson told him not to pay any atten-
tion to Deboe, but to- go and see what
Governor Taylor said about it.. He went
to see Taylor and told him what johnson
said, and Taylor raised no objection to
the plan of shooting from the secretary
OF states office.

A BILL TO GAG ;
!. f.. =. NEWSPAPERS
Continued from First Page.

ured? It is intangible, imperceptible, in
Commensurate. 1t lies locked up with
part OF the imagination Of the complain
ant. He chooses to swear to it, and how
can it be scombatted or estimated? And
in what cases may it not be claimed?
In the presentation of the news of the
day, errors will inevitably creep in. The
errors need not under this bill be libelIous.
They need only result from what may be
called negligence, and every error may be
regarded as showing negligence at some
point. Thus every error, every misprint,
every mistake in any single element of a
statement, may be made the basis of a
suit for damages. =''
'The bill is special legislation in that it
excludes weekly newspapers. It treads
all around the weekly and carefully avoids
stepping on it. This is no accident The
language is three times repeated in the
course of the bill and every time in the
same peculiar terms and with the same
exception. There are no monthly or bi-
monthly newspapers. It is a contradiction
OF terms. There are only forty semi
weekly papers In Pennsylvania. The
weeklies in Pennsylvania number 954 and
the dailies number 20s. To declare that
a statement is libel when printed in
209 dailies and not 9, libel when printed in
954 weeklies is simply grotesque.
Bill to Cripple the DalIies.
.'This bill is utterly powerless to stop
the particular kind of publication which
it aims at but it encompasses legitimate
publications with an unlimited network of
embarrassment and yexation; it would
cripple and curtail the presentation of
the regular and proper news of the day;
it would startsup whole swarm of specu-
lative shysters and curbstone blackmail-
ers; It infringes the just and constitu-
t1onal liberty OF the press and would i'm
pair that valuable protection for public
morals and public rights which is found
in the searchlight Of publicity; it is spe-
cial Legislation In undertaking to make a
law for newspapers while exempting the
weekly from its operations. It perpe-
trates gross wrong in seeking to fasten
the principal responsibility upon the
agent. where the agent not only does not
commit the offense but where he has not
even the power to prevent it,
The Other Side.
Alexander Simpson, Jr., a Philadelphia
lawyer, in urging the governor to sign
the bill, said the highest court of Pennsyl-
vania has declared that there is neces-
sity for g change in the laws governing
newspapers and read from an opinion of
the supreme court In the case of ex-
Mayor Smith against the Philadelphia
Times. He read several other opinions by
the supreme court to prove his contention
that the liberty Of the press should be
restrained. This bill, he declared, is de-
signed to hinder the abuse of the license
OF the press by a very small minority OF
the newspapers Of the state. Mr. Simp-
son denied the contention of the newspa-
pers that the existing libel laws are suf-
ficient.
Richard G. Dale, another Philadelphia
attorney also spoke in favor Of the bill.

Houston, Tex, April 21.-Professor Le-
roy Fewer, an aeronaut, met with seri-
GUS accident before thousands of spec
tators here. Professor Fewer made q
successful ascension of 5000 feet In the
air and cut loose with his parachute in
good trim. While attempting to shift the
course of the parachute on its downward
flight one of the ropes snapped causing
the balloonist to lose his hold when with
in $50 feet Of the ground. The man fell,
turning over and over, in the descent. He
struck in a soft slough which he had been
trying to- steer clear Of, and this alone
prevented instant death. One arm was
broken in two places, two ribs and his
nose were broken, and there are believed
to be internal injuries. The man is alive
