About Governments Libel Suit.
Washington, Jan. 19.-By a vote of
81 to q the senate fixed the salary of
the speaker Of the house of representa-
tives at $4,000, instead of $4,000 as
at present, and instead of $20, 900 adopt
ed by the committee on appropriations.
Senator Raynor endeavored to have
the senate adopt a resolution calling
on the attorney general for information
as to whether the president had Or
dered suit brought against the New
York World and the Indianapolis News
because of libel In publications rela-
tive to the purchase of the Panama ca
nal property, and under what statute
this action had been taken.
Mr.. Rayner declared that there was
no statute authorizing such legal pro-
cedure and the attempt to sue the
newspapers in the name of the United
States, If entered upon, was an at
tempt to apply the sedition laws long
since repealed. He declared that
there was no law under which the
libel laws could be made to apply to
statements respecting the govern
mert. Under objection further consid-
Grafton was postponed.

VALIDITY OF PROCESS
Questioned by Counsel For
Worlds Five Employees.

Counsel Claim That Subpoenas Were
Worded In General Terms and Failed
to Make It Plain What the Action Is
or Against Whom II Is Directed.
District Attorney stlmson Argues
For Vslidity-Briefs to Be Submitted
This Afternoon.
New York, Jan. 19.-The right OF
the fve employees of the New York
World subpoenaed to appear before
the federal grand jury to give inform
alton, presumably regarding the pub
lication of alleged libelous matter re-
hecting upon the integrity OF the
United States government, to ignore
the said subpoenas on the ground
that their issuance was an abuse of
process, was left undetermined at
the hearing of the case in the United
States circuit court here.
After arguments by United States
District Attorney Henry l.. Stimson,
representing the government, and De-
lancey Nicoll and John NJ Bowers,
representing the World, Judge Henry
G. Ward gave both sides until today
at 4 O'clock to submit briefs.
While the proceedings are believed
to have been brought upon the initia-
tive of President Roosevelt and In con-
nection with the publication of story
allie ing Irregularities in the purchase
of the French Panama Canal COM
pany by the United States government,
there is nothing in the subpoenas Is
sued, not only against the World en-
ployes but against several other indi-
viduals, to indicate what the inquisi-
ton is about, who the complainant
Is and against whom the action is
brought.
In the arguments in support of the
contention of Messrs. Nicoll and Bow
ers that the subpoenas should be
quashed particular stress was laid
upon that part of the documents in
question which calls for the appear
ance before the federal grand jury of
those subpoenaed for the purpose Of
testifying "to all and everything you
may know generally on the part of
the United States"
Subpoenas worded In such general
terms, which failed to make it plain
what the action was or against whom
1t was directed, Mr.. Bowers argued.
had uniformally been adjudged faulty
by the courts, and as such dismissed.
Mr.. Stimson. on the other hand. con-
tended that the subpoenas were in
every way valid and that their legality
had been tested in the cases Of the
government against Charles w. Morse,
F. Augustus Heinze and Theodore
Price, to name only a few.
The general inquiry was not halted,
however, by the action of the World
men In questioning the validity of the
process by which they had been sum-
moned to appear before the federal
grand Jury. H. II. Bjornson, a clerk
in the law office of William Nelson
Cromwell, through whom the purchase
of the canal property was affected,
and Jonas Whitley, formerly a news
paper man, but now attached to Mr..
Cromwell's law Office, were both ex-
amined In the course of the day.
