BIG LIBEL

Famous Panama Canal Scan
dal Case in Supreme Court
BRIEF is FILED TODAY
UNITED STATES VS.. PRESS PUB
LISTING co.-LATTER Is SAID
TO HAVE PUBLISHED AN AL
LEGGED LIBEL ON MOST PRoMI-
NENT AMERICAN CITIZENS.

Washington, Oct. 21.-The govern
ment's brief in the so-caIled Panama
libel suit of the United States against
the Press Publishing Co., of New York
was filed today in the supreme court of
the United States. 1t was argued by
Attorney General Wickersham, James
G. M Reynolds, and Stuart Mcnamara.
1T not only contained statement of
facts but an argument in support of
it's position that the indictment
against the Press Publishing Co. should
not have been quashed.
I'm effect" says the governments
brief 'the published articles charge
that Charles p. Taft, Douglas Robinson
and VIM. Nelson Cromwell, with j.
Pierpont Morgan and others acting
through an American syndicate OBJ
tanned control of the securities of the
French company which owned the
Panama canal route and its properties
for the approximate sum of $3,000,000.
Aided by intimacy which they enjoyed
with Theo. Roosevelt then president
of the United States, and the brother
in-law of Douglas Robinson and VIM.
III. Taft. then secretary of war, and the
brother of Charles P Taft and by the
cooperation of these officials with
them they were enabled to effect the
sale of the Panama canal to the United
States for s40,0o0,000 and reap profit
Of some s36.OOO.0O0 which was divided,
as charged among the government ia
vorites in the world Of politics and
finance
The substantial question which the
government claims Is before the court
was set out in the brief as being
whether the United States courts have
jurisdiction to punish the corporation
which printed in the city of New York
4 newspaper containing libel under
the criminal laws Of the state of New
York and circulated copies of the same
within the federal territory of West
Point.

HOW INDIANS
WERE CHEATED

Minneapolis, Mimi, Oct. 21.-Driv-
ing brass tacks into Indians teeth at
$40 tack, was only one of the ways
used to separate White Earth, Mimi,
Chippewas from their land and their
money, according to the story told
by Warren K. Moorehead, member of
the United States Indian commission,
and Curator Peabody of the museum
of Andover college, in The Boston
Transcript.
A Gross Fraud.
Joe Broad, says Mr.. Moorehead, was
an Indian so defrauded. He had sold
his pine allotment, and spent all but
$500 of the money received, which he
hoped to keep to buy groceries for
his family. But the interpreter per-
suaded him he must have gold teeth,
like all white men of consequence, so
that when he opened his mouth all
the Indians must think him rich, be-
cause he had so much gold in it. The
operation was performed, with whisky
as an anesthetic, says Moorehead.
Six weeks later Broad went to the
government physician, complaining of
sore mouth. on examination it was
found that instead of putting on gold
caps the dentist" had driven in
The rest of Breads $500 went to re-
pair the damage.
Other Schemes.
This is cited by Moorehead as only
one of the many schemes by which
the Indians were defrauded of their.
land or their money. He also charges
that preference in giving the alIot-
ments was shown mixed bloods, be-
cause they alone could sell, and that
many full FLOODED Indians were falsely
entered as of mixed blood. Simon
Michelet of Minneapolis, who was in
charge of the allotment of pine lands
at Detroit in 1905, Is severely criti-
cised in this article. Mr.. Mfchelet
said today he simply acted as directed
by the act of congress- Regarding
the charge that the first allotment
was made to Jessie Lynch, a white
girl. he declared she had been on the
agency roll as Of Indian blood, since
her birth, and that in that and in all
other cases he simply followed the
existing agency records.
He denied positively that he or
dered John st. Luke, an Indian po-
liceman. to club full -bloods out of the
line at his Office, where they were
waiting to have their allotnents as
signed to them AS to Mr.. Moore
heads charges In general, he said
they are based ond hearsay evidence,
picked up several years afterwards,
from full-bloods who were disgruntled
because they thought they had not
got os good allotments os others.
Michelet admits that many Indians
were swindled out OF their lands by
crooks, but says that he was power
less to prevent 1t.

The attraction at the. Empire this
week is Pat Whites Gaiety Girls, and
is a hummer from start to finish. The

songs that delight. Grant and Catlin,
two clever young women, received a

TN ESPITE the heat that even the

IN ESPITE the heat that even the

system could not keep out
Charles Klein's masterful play The
/ Third Degree" which opened the 1917
IL season of that house last night
served to hold the rapt attention OF a
good sized audience
] Whether or not Mr.. klein's picture OF
| the third degree methods used by the
! police TO extract confessions from sus-
! pected criminals Is overdrawn, 1t pro-
vides an exceptionally interesting
nucleus for the weaving of a plot. The
| Third Degree IS of the genus "talhy,"
and it Is only in about nine cases out
OF ten that this sort OF play obtains a
lasting standing. A multitude of de-
fects may be hidden under theatrical
fireworks. Where there is continual
action many imperfect details escape
the public notice. But in a play like
| Mr.. Kleiils interest in the working out
of the play itself comes first with an
audience, even though 1t is watching
the players with a discriminating eye.
Striking Personality.
To the part of Annie Jeffries, the
humbly born wife of the rich man S
son, who has been hypnotized into con
Tossing a murder he did not commit,
Miss Fernando Elliseu brings striking
personality and simple, forceful style
that brings out with well-cut strokes
the innate honor and simple courage
that are the Keys to Annie's character.
Annie's philosophy does not admit of
weakening along any line. In the
school In which she was brought up
there was no cringing in the face of
obstacles Things had to be met and
conquered And 1t Is with this mental
attitude that she fights and fights and
fights, facing the contempt of her hus-
bands aristocratic relatives and the
laughter of those who think her efforts
are useless, until she wins. Though
Miss Elliscu's portrayal of Annie is>es-
sentially different from that given by
Miss Ware, her acting is admira be
particularly in the scene with Mr.
Brewster, the lawyer, where she finally
cajoles him into taking her husbands
case
James Seely gives an excellent in
depreciation of the famous lawyer who
quite successfully hides tender heart
under a gruff over-bearing manner.
Howard Jeffries, the wavering, dis
sipated husband of Annie. is played
with understanding by Ralph Ramsay,
and his stern. unyielding parent is
characterized by Frazer Coulter Al
fred Moore plays the bullying police
captain with realism. and Edward
Lehay lends fine humor to the minor
part of Detective Sergeant Maloney.
Earle Williams is effective as Roger
Underwood. spendthrift artist, whose
death Is laid at the door of Annie's
husband. and LYDIA Macmillan is ade
quate in the role of Mrs. Howard JEFF
fries, a woman who counts her placc
in fashionable society a $ coming be-
fore everything. The other characters
are adequate.

Harry Hastings, with his big SHOW
ain be at Waltlmunns Theatre all this
week That the show is somewhat new
is readily seen, for all the rough edges
are still noticeable. The faces Of the
women are new, and while their voices
are not up to the usual standard they
make up in form.
The show opens with a burletta, "A
Night at the Club" in three scenes
Here Harry Hastings, assisted by
Tom Coyne and Harry Harvey, creates
all the mirth and, assisted by the
good d-natured chorus. keeps the audi
ence in laughter Miss Viola Sheldon
billed as the highest salary woman In
vaudeville, is introduced during this
playlet, and her singing Is really mar
velcus. She has a voice which Is very
strong and the harmony is truly won
derful. She is assisted by male
chorus which shows much training.
The olio, while not large is excellent.

May Bohannon and May Corey in a
singing pictorial novelty eaten the
audience. A complete review of the

cored The fire scene was also fine.
Hill, Cherry and Hill are cyclists of
high order. A novelty introduced Is
the extra high wheel which is ridden
by one of the trio. Milt Adams and
Frank Winfield dance well, but sine
poorly.
The show closes with a truly laugh
able skit called "A Trip to the Golden
west" The electrical effects and the
number of well-laid scenes are pleasing
to the eye. The efforts of the manager
to give the best are appreciated.
