RIGHTS Of PRESS
UPHELD BY COURT
Chicago Denied Right to Pro-
ceed in $10,000,000
Libel Suit.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. October 15.-Judge Harry
Fisher today sustained the demurrer
Of the Chicago Tribune to the $1O.-
100000 libel suit brought by the city
Of Chicago. He declared the city had
no cause for action and denied it the
right to amend its petition.
The city brought identical suits
against the Tribune and the Daily
false statements regarding Chicago's
financial standing. and thereby in
jured the city's credit.
Press Control Not Inheritea.
Jndge Fisher declared the portions
at English common law and statutes
which restricted the liberty Of the
press had not been inherited by this
country. This action" he said, lis
not in harmony with the genius spirit
and objects of our institutions"
The decision was of far reaching i'm
portance to newspapers as the suit was
the first on record in which a munich
pality sought to restrict the right to
crittcise its corporate acts.
Decision Not Precedent.
Judge Fisher said that the case in
which the city of Manchester. Eng
land, sued in 1891 was of no value in
the present case. because. while the
English court held that a municipal
corporation may sue for libel, the rea-
sons for that finding were not stated
and the decision of a foreign tribunal
in itself is not precedent He held
further that English municipalities are
more in the nature of private corpora
tions and that. therefore, the question
whether governmental bodies can sue
for libel could not have been consid-
cred in the Manchester case.
The court said that examination of
the early English law only served to
point out the necessity of avoiding its
principles He characterized its history
as telling the story Of the struggle for
human liberty.

SENATOR'S VETO
 PROPOSED RECESS
LEGISLATION IS NECESSARY AND SENATORS DECIDE ON NO
 VACATION.

ngton.-Climaxing the most vigorous insurgent uprising of the present session, the Senate f1atly re- jected the recess program proposed by it's leaders and voted to remaln on the job throughout the summer and fall, if necessary, to enact legislation clamoring for attention.
 Senator Lodge, Republican Ieader, with the support of Senator Under wood, Democratic leader, offered a resolution to recess from July to August to give senators a rest be- fore taking off the tax and tariff bills.
 There was a rapid bipartisan anal gamation of the various groups and interests as result of the proposed vacation. Standing out conspicuous. ly in the amalgamation was the so- called agricultural bloc, a group of Western and Southern members, who will contend that the federal govern ment is not adequately aiding the far mer.
 tt. the recess resolution was defeated, 27 to "A. Party lines were completely shattered in the roll call
 Among the measures chiefly respon- sible for the resolution to stay at work were the anti-beer bill, the sol diers' bonus, the Sweet bill for con sonlidation of the various government. tai agencies dealing with ex-service men and various bills designed to ex- tend further relief to the farmers
 Senator Lodge said that the next month would furnish the only oppor- unity for the Senate to ta.c e noli- day, but other senators declared that if Congress quit work now for month 1t would be physical impossibility to pass the pending measures before the tax and tariff bills were ready.
 Senator Kenyon of Iowa urged that the Senate remain on the job and pass measures necessary to meet the agricultural situation which he char. acterized az most distressing and depressing"
 Tt is fearful indictment of ciyili- zation that people are starving in Flu rope and China while our farmers are becoming bankrupt because they cannot dispose of the things that would keep these people from starv- ing" said Senator Kenyon ''If mem bers of Congress could get out among the farmers of the country they would find very unpleasant state of mind"

A|RPLANE CRASH
 IS FATAL ID TEN
EXPLOSION FOLLOWING WRECK BRINGS DEATH AND INJURY
 TO SPECTATORS.
MOTOR CARS ARE BURNED
Are Struck Down When Huge Martin Bombing Plane Falls On to Parked omobiles-Many Have
 Narrow Escapes.

Moundsville, W. Va.-Ten persona are known to have been killed, ma. chinist is believed to have been burned to death, at least 54 persons were in. Jured, 19 of them seriously, and a United States army plane and fl au. tomobiles were destroyed when the plane, after flying a short distance over Langley flying field here, sud. denly tilted, shot downward and crashed to the ground, smashing into more than 20 automobiles and pin. ming occupants of the machines be. meath it. An explosion occurred as the plane struck the cars, destroyine most of them.
 The big Martin bombing plane was flying from Dayton, O., to Washing. ton. The field here is a regular gov. ernment landing field, and the plane in charge of Lieutenants Ivers and Gunton, stopped here because a heavy storm was encountered.
 Resuming it's flight to Washington the plane had just started it's ascent it had gone scarcely 300 yards and was about 30 feet above the ground when it suddenly listed to one side and dropped. Occupants of the auto. mobiles parked on the field and other spectators had no time to escape Nearly 25 persons, according to the estimates of witnesses, were caught beneath the falling plane, one of the largest types used by the army. The cars on which the plane fell caught the full force of the blow, and saved many persons from death.
 lyers and Gunton leaped from the plane after quick but unsuccessful effort to right it. Both fell on the ground, clear of the plane. The in. 1uries of neither are regarded as SC. rious.
 As the plane struck the automobiles there was crash of splintering wood, followed by terrific explosion of one of the three tanks of gasoline. Thick clouds of smoke and hot tongues of name made rescue of the victims i'm. possible. Following the first explo. sion there was a series of explosions as tanks of the burning automobiles let go
 Spectators say that many more per. sons would have been killed or in. Jured but for the fact that there was an interval of several minutes be. tween the time of the first explosion and the spread of flames beyond the spot wIere they originated.

STATE COTTON CROP
 GREATLY REDUCED
BIG CUT IN ACREAGE IS SHOWN IN GOVERNMENT STATlS-e
 TICIAN'S REPORT.
CONDITION IS .7S NORMAL
Total Production Forecasted For State Is 916.30o BaIes-Reduction Is the Heaviest Made During History
 of the Crop.

Little Rock.-Arkansas had 2.138. GOO acres of cotton in cultivation or June 25. representing reduction o1 30 per cent from the 3.055.000 acres in cultivation year ago on the same date. According to the report oi Charles s. Bouton. statistician for the United States Bureau of Crop ESti mates. and Jim G. Ferguson commits sioner of Mines. Manufactures and Az riculture, through the Arkansas Crop Reporting Service.
 The condition of the crop on June 25 was IS per cent normal This is six points higher than year ago, but two points below the 10-year average and forecasts a yield of 182 1-2 lint pounds per acre and total produc ion of about 816,300 bales. That is. the final outturn will probably be larg CT or smaller than this amount, ac cording as conditions hereafter are better or worse than average condi tions
 MT. Bouton, commenting on the re. port, said he had received more than 1,600 usable reports on acreage, that .hese had been carefully prepared and edited, and that there was a close re. lation between the actual tabulated acreages and the percentage estimates of the ratio of this year to last year.
 The reduction is the heaviest ever made in the history of the crop. amounting, as it does, to 917,000 acres. The hill farms in Northern and West. ern Arkansas showed the greatest per. 9entage of reduction, but in the re. mainder of the state there was not much difference between the ratio of reduction made by the large planter and the small farmer. Apparently the greatest percentage reduction was made by owners of farms running from 100 to 400 acres in all crops.
 The highest average condition is in the third, or northwest c.scrfct, ano the highest condition figures is that of Lawrence county. The lowest con. dltion figure is in Cleveland county, closely followed by Ouachita, Chicot and Lafayette. The crop is probably not as late as it has been generally reported as only 25 reporters volun- teered comments on the lateness. These reports are from Cleburne and Marion; five counties in northeast Arkansas; Johnson, Logan and Scott, in western; Conway, in central; Cross and Woodruff, in eastern Arkan. sas; Hampstead and Pike, in south. western; Ashley, Chicot, Jefferson and Lincoln, in southwestern. This would indicate MT. Bouton said, that in a general way the central, southwestern and central-southern districts were fully up to the normal in growth and the remainder of the state is from 1o to Is days behind the average

HOUSE 10 CONSIDER
 NEW TARIFF BILL
LICAA REPORTS, ONE FOR AND ONE AGAINST.

Washington. The administration tariff bill has been laid formally be- fore the House of Representative and the way was cleared for it's consider ation.
 Accompanying it were two reports by Republicans, one in praise and the other in denunciation Chairman Fordney of the Ways and Means Committee in a report which, he said, he understood all Republicans of the committee, except Representative F'rear of Wisconsin, would sign, de- scribed the measure as magma charta for the perpetuation of Amer ican standards Of living"
 Representative Frear, in his mi nority report, said the measure was subject to criticism for many un- necessary high duties that will in- crease the burdens of the consumer" 1" He also characterized some provi- sions of the bill, particularly the dye schedule, as "indefensible,' and as an abandonment of party pledges. Democratic members of the commit tee were preparing their criticisms of the bill with a view to presenting their minority report when the meas ure is taken up for reading or for de- tailed explanation by Chairman Ford ney.
 House Republicans at a conference fixed July 21 as the date for the final vote on the bill consideration of which will begin at once. The con- ference also adopted proposition opening the hides, cotton, dyes and oil schedules to amendment from the floor and permittingeach to be dis posed of by separate vote. Other schedules would be subject to amend ment only by the Ways and Means Committee.
 The conference decided to have the bill read, after which general debate will be made the order by a special rule for which the conference decided to ask and which Chairman Campbell of the Rules Committee said would be forthcoming.
 No restrictions will be placed on the discussion until July 14 under an agreement reached, but deabte there after will be under five-minute limita- tion. Amendments also will be taken up during the period of limited de- bate.
