DES MOINES, Jan. 26. (Special.) Tho
Iowa supreme court today passed on a
question of newspaper libel and considered
sonio flno distinctions. It wns tbo caso
of Klas against Znhorlk from Linn
county In which tho plaintiff, n Catholic
priest, had brought suit for damages against
tho defendant on account of tho publication
In a Hohemlnn newspaper of Chicago of nn
article In May. LSHS. over tho signature of
the defendant, In which article severe crit
icism was passed on the plaintiff nnd libel
ous statements made. Tho occasion for
the ortlclo wns a newspaper report that
Fnther Klas had collected contributions
In his church tn aid of the Spaniards.
It wns admitted that tho matter com
plained of wns In fact libelous, but It wns
shown that the article as written by the
defendant was not as It appcare:! and much
material matter had been Injected therein
In tho newspaper office. In the main the
supremo court upholds the principle of the
liability of tho defendant for the libel, but
holds that tho communication, Insofar as It
was true, wns privileged because the actions
of a priest or minister of the gospel nio
of n nubile character. However, tho caso
wns reversed on tho ground that tho Jury
wns not Instructed to distinguish between
tho libelous nnd the nonllbclous matter In
tho article. "Whllo nil persons," says
tho court, "who cnus.j or participate In
publication of libelous matter nro respon
sible In full for such publication without
apportionment as to their particular share,
yet It mtiBt ho shown that the publication
or participation related to tho libelous
matter published nnd not pimply to the
nrtlclo published which contained tho libel
ous matter."
