While He is Supporting His
Bill to Regulate Charac-
ter of Their News.
DETAILS OF CRIME
Accidents and Tragedies He
Declares Should Be
Suppressed.


WASHINGTON, d. c., April IL
Senator Works made vigorous at
tack on the newspapers OF the United
States In a speech today in support
OF his bin to make 1t unlawful for
District Of Columbia newspapers to
publish details OF crime, accidents
and tragedies.
Whether the people want this kind
Of news or not, Is one of the ques-
tons to be considered looking at jour
nalism as nothing higher than a
means of making money" said the
senator. Newspaper men maintain
that they furnish this kind of news
because the people want and will have
1t and therefore 1t is the only means
OF maintaining the public agent on a
paying basis. II this is true It is GER
tainly a melanch ~ fact. II It is un-
true, it is a
Grave Charge TO Make
agaisnt the American people. I'm
doubtedly 1t is true OF some people,
but l am convinced that the masses
OF the people who support the news
papers would prefer to have such
news omitted and many people do not
read the newspapers and exclude
them from their homes because If OBJ,
jectionable matter"
The senator also attacked newspa-
pers for the discomfort and embar-
rassment caused the relatives and
friends of persons involved in crimes,
Accidents and Tragedies.
He cited the case of Henry Clay
Beatty, who killed his wifenear Rich
mond, Va.
1T is wen for the liberties OF the
people," continued the senator, "that
censorship of the press is no longer
allowed in this country. but to censor
the press and thereby say what shall
and what shall not be published is
one thing and to make one response
BILE for the violation OF the privilege
thus secured to him is quite another.
The very fact that
The Right TO Publish
what one pleases without abrldgment
exists Is the strongest possible rea-
son for making the publisher of news
liable for abusing this right and priv
llege. / maintain that If newspa-
per publishes matter that is poison
Gus 10 the minds of its readers thus
violating the rules Of good morals and
decency, II should be made criminally
liable for this offense."
The senator concluded by admit
ting that his bill was not likely to be-
come a law. IT has been my pur-
pose" he said, ito call the attention
of the country to one of the greatest
and
Most Corrupting Evils
and influences of the present age. 1t
is an evil which ] admit cannot be
overcome by law. 1t must he met by
better and purer public sentiment
that viii demand cleaner and more
reliable Journalism. The man who
helps TO make the public mind impure
whether he be Journalist or not is a
dangerous man and an enemy to the
best interests of the country"

Great Caution.
Mexico City, July 17.-All the newss
papers here have been cautioned by q
government official to treat the trip
i OF Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson to
Washington carefully and conserva-
lively, confined themselves today to
local stories and speculations that his
going probably means early recognition
Of the Huerta administration by the
United States. They profess to believe
| that q successor to Mr.. Wilson will be
named Immediately, and that In this
way recognition will be achieved. Ell
Pals 1s the only newspaper to display
bitterness. It confines itself chiefly to
attacking Ambassador Wilson and
characterixing him as an enemy to the
Mexican government. 1t ridicules the
idea Of war and says Mexicans are no
longer afraid.
As indicating the brighter prospects
cabinet official gave out for publica-
ton today the statement that NAL
Gen. Leonard Wood had been ordered
to the border personally to see to the
maintenance Of the neutrality laws. He
added that Secretary Of State Bryan
had asked for six months leave of
absence and would be succeeded by
John Bassett Moore, counsel Of the de-
partment Of state, who he said was a
great friend Of Mexico. and certainly
would council recognition Of the arbi-
tration.
Tho newspaper sees in the attitude OF
Europe only an effort to force the
United States TO recognize the Mexican
government. The report Of Germany's
threatening attitude Is called by the
newspapers an absurd lie. since the
German emperor's friendship for Mex
leo, they point out, IL well known.
