The affair, according to the allegation
Of Miss Siede's friends. was brought
about by the interruption of long-stand-

Mr. Robinson, however, asserts that it
was an attempt at extortion on the part
of Miss Siede. who had been a servant

PUBLICATION Of CRIME
HAS DETERRENT EFFECT
Views of the Commissioners,
Who Report Adversely
on Works Bill.

Publication of the details of crimes
in newspapers does more good than harm,
in the opinion of the District Commits
sioners, and they have sent to Senator
Gallinger, chairman of the Senate Dis
trict committee, report adverse to the
passage of the Works bin making it un-
lawful to publish details Of crimes and
accidents in the District Of Columbia and
for, other purposes"
while there are doubtless instances
in which the details Of crimes are the
subject Of injudicious and harmful news
paper publication, the Commissioners
say, ''the publicity given by the press
generally tends to lessen evil conditions
and thus renders a useful public service.
Deterrent influence.
'"That the dread of publicity has a de-
terrent influence upon those disposed or
tempted to the commission of crime may
reasonably be inferred from the fact
that most offenders against the law ear
nestly seek to avoid exposure Of the cir
cumstances Of their misbehavior in news
paper reports of their trials.
Hence, although a reasonable surveil-
lance of such publications might be desir-
able, the Comm. .sionerS do not believe that
the enactment of the radical legislation
contemplated by the bill is ADVISABLE.
Text Of Works Bill.
The bill. which was introduced by Sen
ator Works in the special session last Au-
gust, would allow the publication Of the
mere statement of the fact that crime
or accident had happened, but no details
or comment could be added. as follows:
THAT 1t shall be unlawful for any per
son. corporation or association to print or
publish in any newspaper or other publ
cation in the District Of Columbia an ac-
count Of any murder, or alleged murder.
or any other actual or alleged crime, sui
eide, or other accident injury or tragedy
Of any kind wherever the same may have
been committed or happened. or alleged
to have been committed or happened.
that such crime. tragedy or accident
has happened or is alleged to have hap
pened, without details or comments OF
any kind with respect to such crime, ac-
cident or tragedy, or in respect of, or
about, any person connected with or re-
lated to or alleged to be or to have been
connected with or related to the same.
Penalty Prescribed.
THAT any person. corporation or asso-
citation who shall violate any Of the pro-
visions of this act shall be guilty Of a
misdemeanor and shall be fined not less
than $500 nor more thar $1,000, to which
NAV be added Imprisonment in the Dis
