HEARST LOSES LIBEL SUIT.
John D. Rockefeller, Jr., Secures Con
viction and Paper is Fined $500.

New York, Dec. 31.--John ID. Rookie
Teller, Jr. was libelled by the New
York American, Hearst newspaper"
published by the Star company, it was
decided last night. The appellate d.
vision of the supreme court upheld the
action of the lower court in imposing
a $500 fine on the Star company.
In defending the suit Clarence J.
Shearn had argued that corporation.
"having neither soul, conscience mind
nor feeling, is incapable of entertaining
a mischievous and malicious intent
which is an essential element in GRIM
inal libel"
The court held today that '1t was
once thought that corporation could
not commit a crime but by slow de-
grees and following upon the extension
of the practice of organizing corpora
tons for the purpose of avoiding the
