CASE CALLED IN NEW YORK BUT
PROCEEDINGS ARE HELD
WHILE MOTION is ARGUED;
SENATE TAKES A HAND.
MYSTERY AS TO THE
FORCE BEHIND SUIT
1T HAS NOT BEEN DETERMINED
WHETHER THE GOVERNMENT,
THE PRESIDENT OR A CITIZEN
is PROSECUTING CASES.

New York Jan. 1S.-The nature or
the proceedings which have been in
stituted against the New York World
and the indianapolis News because OF
their criticisms Of the method by
which the purchase Of the Panama
Canal was made, was not disclosed in
the brief hearing in court here today
Acting under instructions believed to
have been issued by the authority OF
the U. S. government Distric tAttorney
Stinson had subpoenaed William b.
Mclaughlin, sporting editor of the
World and Angus Shaw, secretary of
the Press Publishing company, to
testify before the federal grand jury
today in an action which was not de-
scribed in the subpoenaes.
The proceedings were halted by an
order obtained by counsel for the
Worlds editor, calling upon Stinson
to show cause why the subpoenaes
should not be quashed. Argument
on the motion to quash the subpoenaes
will be held late this afternoon before
Judge Ward
Individual as Plaintiff.
One suggestion regarding the ex-
pected prosecution is that an individ-
ual, and not the United States gov
ernment, Is the real plaintiff in the
case. 1t is true that the subpoenas
served here read "the United States
versus the Press Publishing company"
But If the proposed action is Grim
inal in character, as is generally as
sumed to be the case, that would be
the form of subpoena, even where an
individual is the complainant, accord
ing to the practice in the District of
Columbia
The identity of this individual, or
individuals, for there may be more
than one Of them, is purely a matter
of speculation, for the public will have
to await the issue of the promised
statement of Attorney General Bona
parte, In the course of day or two,
this remarkable case.
Possibly President Roosevelt him
self is the complainant; or it may be
that the action was begun by William
Nelson Cromtion, or by Douglas Rob-
inson or any of the persons named in
the original newspaper publications
in an invidious way. A significant
fact is that Mr.. Cromwell was in
Washington when the action was TAX
en- yesterday of serving the sub
poenas, though he left during the
night for New York
Resolution Held Day.
A resolution was introduced today
by Senator Rayner of Maryland calling
on the attorney general for informa-
ton concerning the bringing of suit
for libel against certain newspapers.
Rayner asked for immediate consider
alton saying the only purpose was to
get information as to whether the suit
had been ordered, whether it has been
brought at the instance Of the presi-
dent and under what statute and by
whom ordered and by what power and
authority the courts were being used
to toward the suit.
The resolution went over until to-
morrow under the senate rules, objec-
tion to the immediate adoption having
been led by Lodge.
