It's purpose. more specifically, is to

not permitted TO do by reason of the
rule generally applied that such facts
TO be admitted must have been known
at the time of the publication The
proposed law should also permit in
quiry as To whether the attorney
bringing the suit Is actuated by
malice.
This rule has resulted from blinaly
following the letter and ignoring the
principle OF Hatfield Y. Lasher. In
that case the facts were pleaded In
mitigation OF punitive damages; aud
the court held that as the only i'm
portance OF such facts was TO show a
lack OF malicious motive on the de-
PENDANTS part only such facts as he
knew at the time OF the publication
could influence his motive, and that
therefore they alone were admissible.

by way OF answer that the plaintiff
at the time OF the civil war had been
guilty OF more than one act Of afro
cious homicide.
The decision ignored precedents
and allowed the introduction Of the
evidence, though il came to the de
fendants knowledge after the publi-
cation Of the libel II says
"A person bringing a slander OF
libel suit in effect puts his character
on trial Character is what the man
is Reputation is what people say he
is In determining whether character
has been injured, the jury is entitled
TO know who the plaintiff is, where
he belongs. and how much and what

fix its pecunlary value and the extent

SCOPE
OF INQUIRY
The Special Grand Jury in Session
at Chicago to Probe Into the
Causes Of the Coal Famine
Sends forMore Witnesses.
An AGREEMENT AMONG COAL OPERATORS

Chicago, Jan. 15.-On new develop
ments in the coal investigation the
special grand jury has widened it's
scope of inquiry. On information re-
ceived late yesterday subpoenas have
been sent to the sheriff of Sangamon
county for the appearance before it of
Charles A. Starne of the Virden Coal
Company, and the West End Coal
Company of Springfield, Torrance Cas-
ey of the Williamsville Coal Company,
and L. w. Senseney, of the Alton and
Auburn Coal Company at Auburn. The
evidence of the men from the Spring
field district it is said, will form the
connecting link in the chain of evidence
showing agreements between the oper-
ators of Illinois and Indiana. Several
witnesses summoned for yesterday
were heard today after which the grand
jury turned it's attention to the vol
ume of documentary evidence.
LONDON PRICES UNAFFECTED.
London, Jan. 15.-Prices in the Lon
don coal market have thus far not been
affected by the action of congress in
providing rebate of duties on all coal
for year and placing anthracite coal
on the free list, though a better feeling
prevails. No further large orders have
yet been received from America. The
most important houses do not expect
large exports of coal to the United
States. They believe that Canadian
coal will chiefly benefit by the rebate
duties. 1t is added that nearly all the
English coal heretofore sent to Ameri-
ca was ordered by spectators, the
leading American merchants not being
buyers on account of the length Of time
required for large shipments from En-
gland.
