to-day from high authority that when
Secretary Bryan returns the state ,n-
partment will receive q formal demand
from Japan for an Immediate reference

ATTACK ON JOURNALISM
Would Keep Details of Crimes, Accl-
de ts and Tragedies Cut of Papers

Would Keep Details of Crimes, Accl-
de ts and Tragedies Cut Of Papers
WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator
Works made vigorous attack on
presencuay journalism and the news
papers of the United States in
speech today in support of his bill to
make it unlawful for District of Col
umbia newspapers to publish details
of crimes, accidents and tragedies.
The Senator introduced similar bill
during the last session, but 1t was
not acted upon Whether the peo-
pie want this kind of newspaper or
not is one of the questions to be con-
sidered," said the Senator But |
am convinced that the masses of the
people who support the newspapers
would prefer to have such news omit
ted and many people do not read the
newspapers and exclude them from
their homes because of Objectionable
matter"
The fact that censorship of the
press was no longer allowed in this
country, said the Senator, was the
strongest possible reason for making
lile publishers VI NEWS udDle LOT dUu5-
ing their right and privilege. He add
ed: 81 maintain that If a newspaper
publishes matter that is deleterious
and poisonous to the minds of its
readers, thus violating the rules of
sood morals and decency, it should be
made criminally liable for this offense
an offense far more important and
harmful than the libel of the indiyi-
dual and upon precisely the same
principles"
The Senator concluded by admitting
that his bill was not likely to become
law and said conditions must be met
by better and purer public senti-
ment that will demand cleaner and
more reliable journalism.
THE man who helps to make the
public mind purer, whether he be a
journalist or not, is dangerous man
and an enemy to the best interests of
his country" he added.
