BILL IS NOT JUST
Pennsylvania Newspaper Publishers Object
to Proposed Law.
SMITH OENoUNcEs THE MEASURE
Former Postmaster General Makes an
Address in which He Urges
Governor Pennypacker
TO veto the Bill.

HARRISBURG, Pa, April 21.-Every i'm
portant newspaper in Pennsylvania was
represented at the hearing on the Grady
salus libel bill by Governor Pennypacker
today in the hall Of the house of repre-
sentatives.
Attorney General Carson sat with the gov
ernor throughout the hearing, but neither
Indicated what would be the governors
action on the measure.
The governor and attorney general ar
rived in the hall promptly at 10 o'clock and
we're greeted with applause. The governor.
said the bill was a very important one. and
he was anxious TO hear both sides, and he
suggested that two representatives from
each side be heard In order to save time.
He also suggested that the opponents Of the
bill be heard first.
The opening speech was made by Charles
Emory Smith Of the Philadelphia Press. At
the beginning Of Mr.. Smiths address Gov
ernor Pennypacker took exception to his
use of the word '1nsolently" and suggested
that 1t would be well to omit strong ad-
j~ectiyes.
Mr.. Smith accepted the suggestion, saying
at the same time that he spoke strongly
because he felt strongly.

He said in part:

At the outset l beg to thank your excel

II deeply affects our rights and our prop

we were entitled in the commonest, fair

oasly refusd all opportunity to defend our
rights and to protest against what we be-

hamef refusal compels us to appeal to

OF the governor of the commonwealth.

IneGective and Futile.

The great folly Of this bill is that It Is
utterly ineffective and futile for the puf-
pose which Ii Is really designed, while it
exposes reputable newspapers to the con-
slant and unavoidable danger Of costly,
vexatlous and Matchmaking suits. 1t must
TAIL Of Its plain intent, while II is Infinitely
mischieveous in other directions.
T2e very essence of libel is that the pub
lication shall be of a. defamatory or in
furious character. The law now rightly
holds the newspaper responsible for pub
locations OF that nature. But this bill would
incorporate a new principle in the code. 1t
would make any publication actionable in
which there has been negligence, even
where there is nothing of a defamatory or
Injurious character. II does not require
that the matter should be iibelous. And
so, this bill practically makes every inc0r-
rect publication actionable. no matter what
Its character. Unlimited fields of litigation
what boundless sources of annoyance are
opened In this extraordinary provision.
In the presentation of the news of the
day errors will inevitably creep In. The
errors need not under this bill be libelous.
They need. only result from what may be
called negligence and every error may be
regarded, IS showing pegllgenoe at some
point Thus. every error, every ,mlsprlnt,
every mistake In any single element Of a
statement may be made the basis of a. suit
for damages. What shark will not leave
the trail OF, the trolley in his hunt for prey
to pursue the newspaper In this more pro-
life field? =.

Urges Governor to sign.

Alex Simpson, jr., a Philadelphia lawyer,
urging the governor to sign the bill, said
the highest court OF Pennsylvania has de-
clared that there is a necessity for a
change in the laws governing newspapers
and read several other opinions by the SUI
preme court to prove his contention that the
liberty OF the press should be restrained.
Richard G. Dale. another Philadelphia at
torney, also spoke in favor OF the bill.
Thomas V. Cooper, a member of the legis-
lature, on behalf Of the newspaper owners,
said that never since the adoption of the
constitution Of 1873 had a bill passed the
legislature with only two readings as this
libel bill passed. He said undoubtedly
the constitution had been violated in pass
ing the bill.
Cyrus G. Deere. attorney for the Reading
Eagle. urged that the bill Disseminated
against the newspapers of Pennsylvania in
favor OF those printed in other states and
circulated in this state.
The governor. concluded the hearing by
saying: 81 am obliged to you. gentlemen,
for the help you have given me."sa %,
Provisions of the Bill. i
The libel bill provides tina civil action
may be brought against any owner or
managing editor Of any newspaper pub
lished in Pennsylvania to recover damages
resulting from negligence on the part of
such owners or managing editors in publi-
cations affecting the character. reputation
or business Of citizens, and that compensa-
tory damages also may be recovered for
'the physical and mental suffering endured
by the injured parties;'' and whenever such
publication is given special prominence by
the use OF cartoons, etc, the jury shall
have the right to award punitive damages
against the defendants.
1t also provides that every newspaper
published in Pennsylvania shall publish on
the editorial page the name Of the owner
or owners. together with the name Of the
managing editor.

SCHOOL OF TINES
PROFESSOR DEAD

Denver, May "a Republican spe-
cial from Golden last night says:
The flag on the main building at the
State School of Mines is at half-mast
tonight and there is mourning among
the students and members of the fac
ulty owing to the sudden and awful
death of Robert N. Hartman. professor
of analytical chemistry, who was suf-
focated in the gas-generating room in
the basement of the building about
1870 o'clock this afternoon.
Professor Hartman was at work in
the chemical laboratory with num-
ber of freshmen and sophomores, when
he noticed that there appeared to be a
stoppage in the pipes from the hydro
gen-sulphide gas machine. and ne
went down to the generating room to
adjust the difficulty. He attempted to
restore loosened plug in the ma
chine, but the room was so full of the
poisonous gas that before he could do
SO he was overcome by the fumes and
apparently died without struggle.
About ten minutes later Charles d.
Test, his assistant. went to the base
ment to ascertain what had become of
his chief and was Mortified to see him
lying on the floor of the generating
room. apparently lifeless. He rushed
In and tried to carry Professor Hart
man out, but being a small man was not
strong enough, so, climbing ladder.
he attempted to raise trap door
which opened into the yard Just back
of the building. but while standing on
the ladder he. too. was overcome with
the fumes and fell to the floor, cutting
bad cash in his head.
When Mr.. Test had been absent
from the room about five or ten min
utes freshman, Charles NJ. Jacquette.
went down into the basement and saw
the two instructors. Instead of going
into the room he rushed back for as
sistance. A number of the students
went around behind the building and
opened the trap door, letting some OF
the poison escape, while others went
down and carried the two unconscious
professors to the open air. where every
effort was made to resuscitate them
Mr.. Test began to show signs of life
after about twenty-five minutes OF
work. but. although Drs. Kessler and
Meyer labored over the body of Pro-
fessor Hartman for more than an hour.
at no time was there any evidence that
a spark of life remained.
Professor Hartman leaves a widow
and two small children.

Bottled Moonshine.

Nothing in the world is more like
bottled moonshine" than phosphoric
oil. A light without heat! Astonish-
ing But 1t is so. The light emitted
by phosphoric oil is an unearthly,
spiritual kind of light. However
near we are to its luminous influence
it nevertheless always appears to be
at a distance. AS it is probable that
light from this source will have n
practical application in places where
the common artificial light would be
dangerous, we shall explain the pro-
cess for making 1t. For experiment
take a thin glass vial. about half fill
1t with olive oil, then drop into 1t a
piece of phosphorus the size of a
