lection to persons obtaining judgment
against such newspapers for libelous
statements, under a bill introduced in
the House Thursday by Representative
Jacks of Dallas. The amount of bond
required would vary with newspapers

The bill sets forth that there are
now being published in Texas certain
newspapers that own no property in the
state by means Of which they could be
held liable in a civil suit for libelous
and slanderous statements they may
make against the names Of the good
citizens of Texas" and further that
such newspapers publish only the SEN

practice what is known as yellow

and financially, anu are libeling and
