TRIBUNE
SUED FOR
MILLION
City of Chicago Sues
Newspaper for Libel;
Far reaching Ques-
tion Is Involved

Chicago, Sept. 22.--The million
dollar liberal suit of the city Of
Chicago against the Chicago Tri-
bune opened today with counsel
for the newspaper asking the court
to uphold general demurrer
based on the constitutional right
OF the freedom of the press.
If granted, the demurrer would
have the effect of dismissing the
suit on the grounds of insufficient
evidence.
The suit involves the question
of whether newspaper may be
sued for libel to the extent of its
total value and virtually be put
out of business IL the suit is won.
The libel action grew out of
statements made by the Tribune in
the last city election criticizing
the present city administration for
the manner in which the muni-
cipal finances were handled.
The city contends that the arti-
cles and editorial expressions on
which the suit is based damaged
the city's credit in disposing of
municipal bonds.
