 Newspapers to Print
 Open Court Testimony
nv A,.anIatea pra.,


 Chicago, March 5.-The privilege of a newspaper to publish, and the public to be informed of any testimony given in open court, whether this testimony be true or false was upheld in a ruling made today by Judge Oscar H. Torrison of tha district court. It is the first time on rec ord that this question of privilege has been decided specifically by an Illinois court.
 Judge Torrison held not only that a newspaperais entitled to Tnblish such tes- tifnony, but also that the guilt or inno- cence of any person injured by the testi- mony has no bearing whatever on any action for libel brought by that person against the newspaper because of its publication.
 The ruling was given ill the form of instructions to the jury which had heard evidence in suit for libel brought by Henry J. Earnest against the Chicago Tribune.

nounced that he probably would call a
special session of Congress soon after
his inauguration to attempt a revision
Of the nations tax schedules. Both in
his private consultations and in his adj
dress in the Senate he asked that the
three months remaining to the present
Congress be used without attempt at
partisan advantage to clear away rou-
tine and lay the ground work for con-
structive legislation after March 4.

Harding after the conference. "and I am
