WORLDS LIBEL SUIT.
Proceedings Begun In United
States Circuit Court.

New York, Jan. 25.-The criminal
libel suit of the government against
the Press Publishing company (the
New York World) was begun in the
United States circuit court before
Judge Charles NJ. Hough. The COM
plainants, whom the World is alleged
to have libelled in the series of six ar
ticles published in October, 1908, are
Theodore Roosevelt, President Will
lam Howard Taft. Charles p. Taft, the
presidents half-brother, Douglas Rob-
inson, brother-in-law of Colonel Roose-
velt, and William Nelson Cromwell.
The indictment on which the suit is
based contains IA counts.
In substance the indictments charge
that the World accused certain per-
sons-AmeIicans-so OF whom ap-
pear in connection with this prosecu-
ton as complainants, of receiving
some part of the $40,OO0,O0O paid by
the government to the French Panama
Canal company, and that the United
States government and the certain in
dividuals in the government conspired
to bring about the revolution in the
republic of Colombia by which the
present canal zone was detached from
the republic.
Almost at the outset argument arose
between Delaney Nicoll, counsel for
the Press Publishing company, and
United States District Attorney Wise
for the government and the complain
ants as to the Jurisdiction Of the court.
In examining the first batch of tales
men Mr.. Nicoll asked II they under
stood that in libel actions in this state
the jury are judges of the law as well
as the facts.
Mr.. Wise promptly objected and
Justice Hough sustained the objec-
ton.
There was a panel Of 100 summoned
for examination. The jury box was
not filled when court adjourned.
While quizzing the talesmen Mr..
Nicoll summarized the points to be
emphasized by the defense, two in
number, justification and excusable IL
bel. He invariably asked the tales
men il they were the sort of men who
believed that the government was al
ways right in everything it did.
Mr.. Nicoll will make a motion that
the case be dismissed

STEAM SHOVEL DISPUTE
GETS into COURT
w. j. Stein Claims Shovel
Which Is Worth Nearly
81, 800.

A dispute over the possession of
steam shovel with yard and a half
capacity was the cause of the filing
of an application for an injunction to
restrain - Wilcox and John Doe of
the A. c. Torbet Co of Hammond
from removing from the state a steam
shovel which William j. Stein claims
to own
Stein claims that the steam shovel is
worth $1.50O. and that If it is taken out
of the jurisdiction of the Lake superior
court 1t will necessitate the institu-
ton of lawsuit which will be great
expense to the owner of the machin-
cry.
It is also stated that the company is
not responsible and that in the event
a judgment is secured 1t is probable
that it would be impossible to collect
damages.
Mr.. Gring. who has purchased the
equipment OF the A. C. Torbet Co, says
that the dispute does not affect him,
as he lays no claim to the property.

Crown Point. Ind. May I'm the
dual track meet between Crown Point

county seat high school athletes went
down in crushing defeat before their
sturdy south county lads. The local

also missed the services of william

take position with the Standard Steel

counted a sure winner. No credit how
ever. should be taken from the excel
lent showing made by the Lowell boys,
they exhibiting superior form in most
of the events and showing athletic
prowess that will make them strong
contenders for championship honors at
