Moved by scores Of commenda-
tory letters, Senator Arthur Cap
per of Kansas today introduced a
revised bill exempting newspaper
men from being compelled to dis
close sources of confidential in
formation.
The revision is made in
order to extend the scope of the
measure to all parts of the ma
ton, the original bill introduced
last week being limited to the Dis
trict of Columbia.
Capper's measure is designed to
prevent a recurrence of the situa-
ton which led to the falling of
three reporters for The Washing
ton Times when they refused to
become shoppers and prosecuting
witnesses as demanded. by the
Grand Jury: The reporters re-
fused to tell Of circumstances
surrounding the purchase of
liquor in 40 places in the Dis
trict while they were conducting
an investigation Of lax liquor law
enforcement IN the National Capt.
tai.
Many Of the letters and tele-
grams which Capper received.
pointed out that the benefits and
privileges which, he would extend
to Washington newspaper men
should properly be granted to
Journalists throughout the nation.
1t was this general indicet ton
OF nationwide demand for the
exemption which prompted the
kansan legislator and publisher
to revise his measure
After Senator Capper had IN.
PRODUCED his original bill in the
Senate, Representative Fiorella
H. LaGuardia, of New York, in
troduced a bill in the House
which would grant the exemption

Rover to Press Case
United States Attorney Leo A.
Rover indicated today that he
has no intention of abating the
prosecution of Repr e sentative
DeniSon despite the latter'S state
ment the baggage containing the
liquor did not belong to him.
The receipt for the trunk which
was delivered to DeniSon was
signed by him, the District Attor-
ney's office indicated, although
both the trunk and suitcase were
consigned to John Layne, in, care
of the Representative.
The Representative reported
that John Layne has not been
in his employ for nearly six years
but that a nephew, Charles Layne,
was to have had certain baggage
delivered to him.
Mistake Seen as Possible
Rover declared he would check
up on a possible mistaken identity
to see whether indictment should
not have been reported against
Charles Layne, the nephew. in.
stead of John Layne, Denison's
former secretary.
E. Hilton Jackson, a local at
torney, entered his appearance
as counsel for Representative
Denison this morning. He an
nounced he received a telegram
from DeniSon last night advising
him to take necessary action in
his behalf. This will obviate the
necessity of taking the Repre-
into custody.

The interests Of good govern
ment therefore demand that the
reporter be protected in his re-
fusaI to violate what has become
an integral part Of the ethics Of
the profession.
The State Of Maryland, as Tar
back as 1896, realized this and
adopted a statute which reads:
"NO person engaged in, con-
nected with, or employed on y
newspaper or journal shall be
compelled to disclose in any
legal proceedings or trial or be-
fore any committee of the legiS-
Iature or elsewhere, the source
of any information procured or
obtained by him, for and pub
iShed in the newspaper on and
in which he is engaged, con-
nected with, or employed"
A law of this kind should be on
the books of every State inter
ested in safeguarding the press
in the legitimate exercise of it's
public functions. There are al
ready laws in plenty to prevent
published matter damaging be-
cause untrue.
This law should be added to ia
cilitate and protect the publica-
ton of matter which, while de-
monstrably true, is discoverable
by a newspaper only on agree
ment that its source shall re-
main confidential.

Beach was shot several days

Check as Extension,
Not a Fraud

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 90
A post dated check is q method
of obtaining extension of pay
ment of a debt, and not a
fraud. was the point of a de-
cision handed down yesterday
by Judge Cawthrop in the
Superior Court. in which he
reversed the action of q jury
in the Municipal Court.
c. D. MaSSaro, a contractor,
owed a sub-contractor 1851 and
gave the latter a check marked
dated ahead" Later the check
was substituted by another
without the notation and was
accepted by the Sub-contractor
with the knowledge that Mas
sardo did not have sufficient
money on deposit to meet the
check. The check was de-
posted for collection and when
it was returned MasSaro was
arrested for violation of the
act of April Is. 1919, and con-
victed in the lower court Of
drawing and delivering a check
when he did not have money
enough in his bank to meet it.
The decision of the Superior
Court is the first under the act
of 1919.
