SUPREME COURT
Panama Libel Case Comes
Up at Washington.
JURISDICTION The ISSUE

Government Claims the Right to Pros
ecute Because of the Circulation of
Alleged LibeIous Articles at West
Point-AppeaI Is Against the Quash-
ing of the indictments Against the
Newspapers Involved.
Washington, Oct. 22.-The govern
ment's brief in the so called Panama
libel suit of the United States against
the Press Publishing company of New
York (the New York World has been
filed in the supreme court of the Unit
ed States. 1t was argued by Attorney
General Wickersham, James c. NJ.
Reynolds and Stuart Mcnamara. 1t
not only contained a statement of
facts, but an argument in support of
it's position that the indictment against
the Press Publishing company should
not have been quashed.
''in effect" says the governments
brief, "the published articles charge
that Charles p. Taft, Douglas Robin
son and William Nelson Cromwell,
with ]. Pierpont Morgan and others,
acting through an American syndicate,
obtained control of the securities of
the French company, which owned the
Panama canal route and its properties,
for the approximate sum of s3.000,000.
Aided by the intimacy which they
enjoyed with Theodore Roosevelt. the
president of the United States and
brother-in-law of Douglas Robinson,
and William H Taft, then secretary
of war and brother of Charles p Taft.
and by the cooperation of these Off
cials with them they were enabled to
effect the sale of the Panama canal to
the United States for s40,000.000 and
reap a profit OF some $4,000 900. which
was divided. as charged, among gov
ernment favorites in the world of poll
tics and finance"
Jurisdiction Vital Question.
The substantial question which the
government claims is before the court
was set out in the brief as being
whether the United States courts
nave jurisdiction to punish a corpora
tion which printed in the city of New
York a newspaper containing libel
criminal under the laws of the state OF
New York, and circulated copies OF
the same within the federal territory
of West Point.
The governments claim is based on
an act of congress of 1898. which the
government urges operates to trans
fer the state law to federal territory
for the purpose of Furnishing acts com.
mitted there. which. If performed out
side, and in the jurisdiction Of the
state, would be amenable to its laws "
In the governments brief IL is ar

the duty of congress to legislate con

jurisdiction as to preserving peace and
good order therein

New York. Oct 22.-One of the
most strenuous incidents of Colonel

riot, SO enthusiastic were his auditors
Fully $4,000 persons had gathered in

had to rest several minutes to regain

he ran to the car.
