FEDERAL JUDGE HoUGH RULES
THAT COURT HAS NO JURlSDlC.
TloN IN LIBEL SUIT GROWING
OUT OF CANAL CHARGES.
FORMER PRESIDENT
QUOTED IN COURT
COUNSEL FOR DEFENSE CITES
JAMES BUCHANAN AS AUTHOR
iTY FOR POSITION SUSTAINED
BY JUDGE RoUGH.

New York, Jan. 26-The federal
governments prosecution of the pub
Fishers of the New York World was
stopped by the federal court here to-
day, Judge Hough quashing the indict-
ment against the Press Publishing
company, the publishers of the World,
for alleged libel in connection with
publications concerning the Panama
canal purchase. The Indictment was
thrown out because Of lack Of juris-
diction of the court and other reasons.
The decision is generally regarded
as the closing chapter of the Panama
libel case.
In supporting this motion to quash
the Indictment De Lancey Nicoll. coun-
Sci for the defense, rehearsed the his
tory of the libel prosecutions from CO.
lonial times down to the present day,
quoting President Buchanan as author
tty for his contention that congress
had no right to pass libel law. The
Following FIVE counts were his basis of
argument:
l. The court has no jurisdiction be-
cause there is no United States stat
nte covering the case.
2. The act of 1898 does not apply as
disclosed by the proceedings.
8. 1t the act of 1898 can be con-
Btrued then the act is unconstitutional.
4. The offense charged in the in
hictment, If there was an offense, was
committed in the state Of New York
and is punishable under the laws of
that state.
S. The defendant, as corporation,
is incapable of being charged with the
pffense set forth in the Indictment.
At the opening Of court, counsel
for the defense characterized the suit
Rs unprecedented in the history of the
United States government. 1t was In
stigated by Theodore Roosevelt, dur
ing the term Of his presidency, and
charged that President Taft, Dauglas
Robson, brother-in-law of Mr.. Roose.
welt. Charles P. Taft, brother of the
president; William Nelson Cromwell
and Theodore Roosevelt were crimin.
ally libeled in connection with publ
cations in the fall Of 1908 relating to
the purchase of the franchises. ma
chinery, and other rights of the
French Panama Canal company.
Charges Seven Offenses.
The indictment contained fourteen
counts charging seven specific of
lenses, committed simultaneously in
two different localities In which, 1t is
alleged, the World was circulated
Similar indictments also were found
In Washington against the proprietors
and editors Of the Indianapolis News
The preliminary hearing held in In
hianapalis resulted in a substantial
first victory for the News.
The government Is expected to open
Its case today.

GAL.V|S CALLED
AS THE FIRST
PROBE WITNESS
DISMISSED EMPLoYE OF IN
TERROR DEPARTMENT APPEARS
IN BALLINGER-PINcHoT COM
MlTTEE INQUIRY.

Washington, D. c., Jan 20 The
Ballinger-Pinchot congressional com
mittee OF inquiry met this afternoon.
Louis R. CLAWS, the dismissed field
agent who preferred the charges
against Secretary Ballinger, was the
first witness. 1t Is reported that fol
lowing today's session the committee
Will meet for the present on Fridays
and Saturdays in order to give the
senators and representatives plenty OF
time to attend legislative duties.
Coincident with the beginning of the
Ballinger-Pinchot Investigation which
largely concerns the question, John
E. Ballaine, of Seattle, said to be the
largest property owner in Alaska, Of
fers the government, through the SEN
ate committee on territories royalty
of fifty cents a ton on coal mined, for
a lease of 5000 acres of some of the
choicest coal lands in Alaska, in the
Katalla and Matanuska districts. The
tonnage royalty will net the govern
ment, Ballaine claims, as high us
S2,O00,00O per hundred acres.
This proposal comes avowedly to do
battle with the proposition, embodied
in the bill which is prepared, but not
yet introduced, designed to permit the
sale or lease of such lands at $40 per
are.
Other Interests at Work.
Ballaine proposes to give bond OF
a million dollars for the fulfillment OF
his agreement. He charges "that
other interests" have lobby at work,
headed by former United States
senator" in support of the bill re-
ferred to above, under whose provis-
ions, he declares, the government
| would extend an unconditional guar
antee to the railroads which these in
| terests purpose to build and virtually
donate to them the tracts which they
select
Ballaine states that the one five
thousand acre tract he applies for
would yield more than 10O,0oO,000 tons
giving the government $5O,000,000
royalty.
Added Certain Conditions.
He asks as condition that no other
coal land in Alaska be leased for a
less royalty, and that at least half Of
the governments supply of coal be
obtained from this company or from
the naval coaling reserve In the Mat
anuska district, shipping the product
from Steward by railroad at rates
| fixed by the interstate commerce COM
| mission.
This railroad he proposes is run
from Seward through the interior val
leys to more stragetic points on the
navigable rivers Ballaine stipulates
that SO much as is needed for the
payment of the royalty must consti-
tute fund for guaranteeing the pay
ment of the interest on the railroad
company's bonds.
Ballaine charges the lobby referred
to is working in the interest of. the
| Canadian railroad In Alaska, in con
junction with an American group to
seek to gain control Of the coal Of the
! Katalla region.
