the John II. Briggs OFF

NEWPORT NEWS, Va, December 30
Carrying down to a Watery grave Capt.
Joe Wyman and a crew of five men, the
coastwise coal barge John A. Briggs,
which broke away from the whaleback
steamer Thurmond off Point Pleasant dur
ing the blizzard of last Sunday, sank
some time Sunday night off the coast of
New Jersey.
Laden with cargo of coal consigned
to Provid ence. r. L., the John A Briggs
left this port Christmas eve in tow of the
Thurmond. The vessel ran into the storm
day and both labored heavily in the
mountainous seas and bowling gale. When
near Point Pleasant the Briggs broke

helpless barge and in her endaavor to
reach her the eDal-aden steamer p led on
the rocks near Point Pleasant.
After drifting many miles the Briggs

yesterday morning. when the captains of
the vessels arriving here today reported

PUBLISHER AFTER SENATE
QUESTIONS RIGHT TO REPRINT
COPYRIGHT STORY.
More Trouble With the Mccall Ar.
ticle-Authority Given by Law,
Is Contention.

That reprint by the Senate of the al
ticle by Representative Samuel W. Mccall
of Massachusetts in favor Of the P4yne-
AldricI tariff law is again causing con-
Germ at the Capitol.
Only few days ago it was discovered
that members of Congress who voted for
the new tar If law had been sending out a
document which a misprint caused to de-
clare that the law Increased" duties on
necessaries to the amount of S,,,OOO.OJ0,-
Oo1. Increased had been printed in
place of ''decreased.' as in copy sent to
the government printing office.
When the joker was discovered. there
was hurried action to suppress all copies
Of the documents that had not been sent
out, to prevent those sent out from
reaching their destination and to secure
a proper print to follow up the errins
document which had fallen in the hands
of constituents.
The new and correct print of the tariff
argument was issued In due course. Of
ticials thought everything was serene.
This morning the secretary of the Sen
ate received a letter from the publishers
of mngaz ne in Which the Mccall arti-
Gle originally appeared. 1T is understood
to have been "A copyrighted magazine
The publishers asked on what authority
the Senate reprinted a copyrighted arti-
Gle. thing which 10 private individual
would be allowed to do, without the con-
sent of the copyright owner.
An immediate search of the laws and
court decisions i'm the matter was started.
Those in the secretarys Office wore wor-
ried expressions.
Finally it was decided that section of
the new copyright law. approved March
4 last gives Congress authority to re-
print any copyrighted article on its own
authority.
provision of the section says:
Provided however, that the publca-
ton or republication by the government,
either separately or In a public document,
of any material in which copyright Is sub
sisting shall not be taken to cause any
abridgement or annulment of the copy
right or to authorize any use or appro-
priation of such copyright material with
out the consent of the copyright pro-
prietor'
Senator Smoot, chairman OF the COM
mittee on printing of the Senate. and
author of the new copyright law, was
asked about this section. lie declared
that the law was never intended to give
authority to the government to reprint
copyrighted material, without the consent
of the owner of the copyright.
This question is not new at the Capitol.
1t came up last spring in connection with
the tariff hearings. An article bv Andrew
Carnegie, printed in a copyrighted maya
z'ne was reprinted in one of the House
pamphlets. When it was discovered that
the cons ant 81 the prCprietor of the copy
right had not been obtained FOR reprint
ing the article the issue was held up
until consent could be obtained.
