examination to the questions which
were actually asked. Particularly
was this so in the two upper classes,
and It was freely admitted by the

IN THE HOUSE
Sentiment That 1t Would
Violate Freedom of
the Press

The Vermont House, by vote Of So to
As, killed on Saturday afternoon the
newspaper bill, so called, relating to pub
fishing of defamatory communications.
The bill, which had passed the Senate
was reported adversely.
Mr.. Graham Of Rockingham, said
the bill was SO reported because the com
mttee thought there was no necessity Tor
it, and who spoke at length on his belief
in the freedom of the press Mr.. Stone
of yergennes called the attention Of the
House to the fact that the committee
was divided five to four in its report.
Mr.. Black of Burlington explained the
bill from his viewpoint, and believed that
it would to a degree put stop to 50
many anonymous communications. Mr..
Morse of Hardwick opposed the bill,
thinking it would be constant trouble
breeder. Mr.. Hapgood favored the bill.
Mr.. Wilson thought that the bill went
too far, and thought the newspapers
should be left alone. The third reading
was refused by vote OF SO to 45.
