LA1ON BILL KILLED.
Newspaper Protests Defeat Radical
Libel Law.

Denver.-The Laton libel bill
against which the State Editorial AS
sociation and practically all the news
paper men in the state were arrayed
was killed in the Senate Thursday by
vote on third reading Of 25 to 6. 1t
had passed the House and been favor
ably recommended by the committee
of the whole in the Senate, SO that 1t
appeared almost certain OF becoming
law. But at the last there came a
storm of protests that proved to be
effective.
When the bill was reached on the
Senate calendar an effort was made to
adjourn in order that some step be
taken TO amend 1t SO as not to be such
jeopardy to reputable publications.
but majority demanded Its slaughter
then and there and out 1t went.
Senator Harris. opened against 1t
first and said 1t was liberty-destroy-
ing bill.
Senator Sapp pointed out that the
libel law of this state was strong
enough already and stated that with
the bill a law newspapers would be
afraid to publish news until the news
was more than stale. 1t was bill to
encourage blackmail.
Senator De Long said the intent OF
the bill was all right but as worded 1t
would drive country newspapers to the
wall.
III the bill drew the line between
liberty and license OF the press l would
vote fer it," said the senator. Il wish
we could do something to cut out the
yellow business in journalism: but this
bill would do far more harm than good.
! would rather suffer from the. abuse
OF the sensational newspaper than pro-
tect criminals, therefore will vote
against It"
Senator Barela believed that some
relief was needed from the i-responsi-
BILE and sensational sheets and he IA
vored the bill.
The vote was surprise to some, as
when the bill was up on second read
ing 1t had seventeen votes.
Senators Bardwell. Barela. Booth.
Burger. De La Nergne and Robertson
voted for the bill because they had
voted for 1t on second reading and did
not want to appear as II drawing out.
