A STRICT LIBEL LAW
Governor Pennypacker Signs
Grady-Salus Bill.
OPPOSED BY PENNSYLVANIA PRESS
He Claims Measure VIII Not Harm
Reputable Ncwspapcrs-timed
ut Reckless Journal
ism Only.

HARRISBURG, Pa, May 13.-Gov-
ernor Pcnnypacker has approved the
}rady-Salus libel bill and at the same
me issued n long statement giving the
'asons for his action. The bill. which
rs i'm the governors hands for more
IN Il month. goes into effect imme-
Jtely and repcnls all laws or parts of
ws inconsistent with the new act.
The governor claims there is nothing
In the terms of the measures which
prevents any newspapers from making
such comments upon legislative meas
ures or upon the official acts of state,
municipal, county or public officers as
are proper for the information of the
public or are in the line of legitimate
public discussion.
Continuing, he says: "Thc bill in its
application is not confined to officials,
but affects as well the citizen or busi-
ness man, whose conduct constitutes no
part of the right of the public TO in
formation.
"Within the last quarter of a century
two presidents of the United States
stance the cause was easily traceable to
inflammatory and careless newspaper
utterance. Crimes are widely propa-
gated not by the malice, but by the
reckessness of the press. and in GER
tain classes of cases, among them muir
der the accused are at times convicted
or acquitted before they reach the court
ROOM"
The governor concludes his statement
as follows: "The proposed legislation
has been regarded by large proper
ton of the reputable press with great
misgivings. 1t is natural that this
should be the case. The future Is ever
uncertain, and the easy way to avoid
the dangers ahead is to stand still
This Is nevertheless not a wise course
The boy conscious of many lapses who
is invited by a stern father into a pri-
vate room enters with a dread, and yet
the purpose may only be to arrange for
the coming holidays. When the gar
dener comes with his hoe into the gar.
den which has been left to run wild II
is safe to say that 1t is the mullen and
not the pea which is likely to suffer.
This bill may not be the best possible
legislation, but the purpose is COM
mendable, and should experience show
I to be defective something better may
q devised. 1t ought to be cordially
nd cheerfully accepted by the reputa-
ole press, for they have a special inter
st in it becoming a law. Where the
ares occupy the ground the wheat per
ishes. 1t threatens them with no dan.
ger Seeking to utter the truth and not
the falsehOod, what have they to fear?
with serious sense that the evil is
of more than ordinary moment, with
full knowledge of the Importance of the
press and of its value TO mankind
through all past struggles and with the
hope and belief that the greater care
and larger measures of responsibility
brought about by this law. tending to
elevate the meritorious and repress the
unworthy, will promote its welfare
while benefiting the community, l ap-

Suit For Fort Brown.
Now On in the Federal Court at
Houston-Case is Attracting
State Wide Notice.

Houston, Tex, Sept. 29,-The
case of c. =. Combe, executor,
against James .Stillman ct al, pend
ing in the United States circuit and
district court for the Southern
district of Texas, is up for hearing
on oral arguments in this court in
Houston, Judge Waller T. Burns,
presiding.
This is a case based upon the sale
of Fort Brown to the United States
government for a consideration of
100000.
The testimony in the case was
taken at Brownsville at the May
term of the court and on account
of the early adjournment of court
there the arguments were postpon-
ed until the court met in this city.
The arguments, it is understood,
will last until Tuesday of next
week.
When the Southern district of
Texas was created the case remain
ed on the docket at Brownsville as
a legacy TO Judge Waller I. Burns.
There are some intervening petit
TONERS in the case represented by J.
D. Childs and P. J. Swearingen of
San Antonio.
The original bill in this case was
fled June IA, 1897. At first the
defendants were represented by Col.
Farrar of New Orleans and Mr..
Franklin of San Antonio, but
finally'they dropped out after var
ious legal contests in the case and
the defense finally devolved upon
Messrs. McGown and West. Judge
Parks and Mr.. Bates have from the
first and continuously up to the
present time represented the plain
tiffs.

vile, the case was set down for
final hearing and all the testimony
was introduced, but on account of
the early adjournment of court,
arguments could not be had and
accordingly the case was taken I'M
der advisement for the purpose of
oral arguments and finally set for
such oral arguments at Houston on
September %, 1903.
J The arguments began on the day
set, there being present Messrs. C.
L. Bates of San Antonio and w. n.
Parks of Brownsville, counsel for
plaintiff, and Messrs. Floyd, Nc
Gown and Duval West of San An
tonic, counsel for the defendants,
Stillman and Carson.
Judge Parks opened the argument
for plaintiff and has been before !
the court for two days presenting
the plaintiffs case and is not yet |
through.
One of the most peculiar features
Of this case and one which seems to
be without parallel in the judicial
proceedings of the United States is
that the defendant Stillman was
20 bring $4,000 in cash
from the State of New York to the
State OF Texas and deposit it in
The registry of the court at San An
tonic, and also to give his bond for
the balance of said fund, thereby

York a fund of 100000 and sub
jecting it to the jurisdiction of the
federal court in Texas.
