Lessons of History.
Just before coming to his perora ton
Mr.. Nicoll had presented to the court In
dramatic fashion an argument to show
that the whole hist ry of the country
condemns the construction of the act OF
congress asserted by the government.
He dwelt upon the 'unpopuIarity OF the
sedition act OF 179S. designed to punish
10 stir up sedtion. Then he came down
to 1890 when he said James Buchanan.
later president of the United States. In
the trial of Judge Peck before the United
States senate had argued that the found
ers of the constitution had been afraid
to give the federal government 'supervi-
sion over the subject Of libel
Finally he took up President Roose-
velts special message to congress in re-
gard to the alleged libel. He designated
II as curious reading" For the next few
minutes his voice rang through the lit
tie courtroom as he read a portion of tho
message holding IT TO be a ''high national

In his concluding arguments. Mr. Nc
Reynolds told the court that the govern
ment was concerned in protecting the
people residing in federal jurisdiction.
In rebuttal to the argument that the
prosecution should have been brought
where the alleged libel was printed, or
otherwise in state courts. he conteDdcd
that the offense OF libel was not limit
ed to the mere act OF printing, but in
Guiding acts OF making public. One OF
these occurred, he claimed. in federal
territory. He entered into a colloquy with
Justices Holmes. White and Day as to
what the law of New York state is as TO

The entire argument on both sides
was limited TO two hours The court
then took the case under advisement.

warrant was rot served but counsel
for Mr. Teuer sent letter to Mr.. van
Valken berg informing him of the ac-
tion taken and notifying him that

ga friend and associate of swildlers.

ed as the president of the corporation. :,
For this. the charges aver, ho agreed

ulent and swindling" which is supposed
TO be in Pacific coast development and
the owner of a projected road in Ore

istence
More swindling Charged.
In subsequent publications the North

nected with the company. who, it as
serted, are either convicted or uncon'

charged that Mr.. Tener, with several
business associates, sold a controlling
interest in the Security Life and An
nuIty company to man it declared to

Last night Mr.. Tener issued long
formal statement denying the charges
made by the North American. He adj
mitted that he had been connected with

that he severed his connection with the
company because of pressure of business

gresham. He also admitted receiving

turned. He added that he believed and
