N Associated Press.

down an important opinion today re-
garding the rights of newspapers to
publish fair and truthful reports Of the
proceedings of the courts OF Justice.
IhiS matter was considered by the
court in connection with damage
suit filed against the Nashville Ameri-
can III which case a verdict was rem
dered In the lower court against the
American for $4,000. The supreme court
reversed this Judgment and the case
was remanded

Niding that unless the court has prohib-
tied publication or the subject OF the
proceedings is unfit for publication,
they may be published and the owners
OF newspapers occupy the same status
as other persons. Publication of suits
must be fair; they must not be min

damaging facts, to the exclusion of
minute facts which explain or modify
the former; eXtraneous matters must
not be introduced; in brief, the news
reports of proceedings Of courts OF Jus
tice must be fair and accurate.

In a riot starting from a fight be-
tween two men in South Spring street

champion Of the world was knocked
senseless by q blow on the head with a
chair in the hands of an unknown man,
and conveyed half stunned to his rooms
in the Angelus hotel.
VIII vilinger OF 1900 Sunset boul-
evard, grocery clerk, and r. Morgan
of 321 West Second street, a machinist,
were seriously injured by flying mis-
siles from the hands of fighters.
Britt attempted to stop the rioters
by using his fists. Several women
clustered about the husky little fighter
and in his endeavors to save them from
injury he forgot himself and was struck
down. He was Immediately sent to his
rooms at the Angelus in a semi-con-
scious condition.
Morgan was sitting near the table
at which the fight started. He noticed
that the men were becoming angry
when one of the men picked up chair
and hurled it at the other. Morgan
attempted to interfere and was struck
over the head by a chair and rendered
unconscious.
Villinger was passing through the
cafe and suddenly became surrounded

an error as to the identity of the victim
as Britt returned to his apartment
without showing any signs of battle.

HOUSE DISCUSSES
ABUSES OF FUNDS
URGENT DEFICIENCY BILL IS
TAKEN UP
Animated Debate Takes Place over
Amendment to Increase Of Appro.
priatlon for transportation
Of silver Coin
BY Associated Press.

By ASSOCIATED ETeSA.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2O.-Abuses in
the expenditure of appropriations was
the text of the discussion in the house
today during the consideration of the
urgent deficiency appropriation bill.
But little progress was made in the
consideration of the bill, which will be
the continuing topic for Monday. The
portrait of former Attorney General
Knox, for which the department of
topic of comment
The most animated discussion OF the
day took place on an amendment by
Mr.. Keifer of Ohio to increase the
amount for the transportation of sill
yer coin. Two well defined arguments
were advanced on this question. One
was that to cut this appropriation
meant distress TO the interior sections
of the country, where silver money was
used, and the other that the appropria-
ton was abused by the express COM
panies, for whose benefit it was stated
the appropriation was annually made.
In discussing the urgent deficiency
bill and giving an Illustration of the
loss of control of appropriations by
congress Mr.. Tawney said there
seemed to be two funds in the control
of the navy department with which
repairs to vessels might be made. one
under the direct control Of the secre-
lbEys IlG Hdlu, WIS DGlIlB uStu W DTdC-
tically refit naval vessels with ma
chinery.
The weak point in the law Of last
year, he said, was that the required
appropriation could be waived by the
head of department. This should
be remedied in the pending bill.
Having his attention again called
to the item in the bill of $2619 for
portrait of former Attorney General
Knox, Mr.. Padgett of Tennessee asked
Mr.. Tawney If he believed that to be
a 1ustif1able appropriation.
Mr.. Tawney replied that no man
could justify the appropriation, but he
understood 1t to have been the GUS
tom for some years in all departments
that when the retired head of a de-
partment or bureau officer leaves his
position "soon thereafter his portrait
adorns the walls of the office in which
he served and the expenditure has been
paid out of the contingent fund
1t developed during the consideration
Of the bill for amendment that, as Mr..
Littauer remarked, the state depart
ment had sought to evade the law of
last year restricting the use of gov
ernment carriages to heads of depart
ments, and had secured carriages for
assistant secretaries.
To prevent this the item in the bill
supplying a deficiency in this fund
prohibits it's expenditure within the
District of Columbia except for the en-
tertainment of the representatives of
foreign governments.
In answer to query as to what
caused the deficiency in this fund, Mr..
Littaur said the Portsmouth peace
conference had cost the ogevrnment
$4,000 and the entertainment of Prince
Louis of Battenberg had cost $4311. The
fund, he said, was not entirely exhaust
ed Rising to the defense Of a pro-
vision for eight clerks in the treasury
to count money. Mr.. Gaines said this
old money should be retired.
