WINS FAMOUS
LIBEL SUIT
Supreme Court Decides in
Favor Of Newspaper
CIRCUIT COURT UPHELD
Supreme Court Says United States
Government Had no Jurisdiction
in the Case
CIRCUIT COURT UPHELD

Washington, Jan. 4.--By unanimous
decision the Supreme Court OF the
United States yesterday decided that
the Federal Government could not
maintain the socalled Panama Canal
libel suit against the Press Publish
ing Company of New York in the
Federal courts of New York. In so
holding the court affirmed the decls-
ion of the Circuit Court Of the United
States for the Southern District Of
New York, which had quashed the
famous Indictment.
In effect, the decision was that the
Federal court had no jurisdiction over
the alleged defense because the case
might have been brought in State
court.
The Press Publishing Company,
publisher of The New York Word,
was indicted in March, 1909, in the
Circuit Court of the United States for
the Southern District of New York on
charge of libel in the publication of
articles stating that Charles p. Taft,
Douglas Robinson and william Mel
son Cromwell, with j. Plerpont Nor
gan and others, obtained control OF
the Panama Canal route for about
S4,000,00O and by the cooperation Of
Theodore Roosevelt, then President
'of the United States and brother-in-
law of Mr.. Robinson and William H.
Taft, then Secretary OF War and
brother of Mr.. Taft, were enabled to
effect the sa e of the Canal to the
United States at profit OF S36.000,-
900.
It was through the efforts of Mr..
Roosevelt that the indictment was
found The Government claimed jur-
lsdiction to punish the alleged libel
on the theory that the publisher had
committed a crime upon Federal ter
ritory at West Point and In the Post
Office Building in New York City.
It was argued that. wherever the
papers containing the alleged libelous
articles might have been printed they
were technically published" upon
these Federal reservations, and that
the Federal Government had the pow.
er to punish such publishing.
The decision OF the court yesterday
dealt entirely with the act OF Con-
gress in 1898 under which the indict-
ment was brought. The effect of this
was to incorporate the criminal laws
OF the several States. inforce on
July l, 1898, into the Federal statute
and make them applicable to Federal
reservations. Among these State laws
was New York libel law.

said that he had found no symptoms

William J. Arlitz and Henry Cotton

the prosecutor to await the outcome

pressing that charge. For this rea-
son, Gallagher was charged with

of the steamer where the shooting
occurred. Edwards received a bullet
in the arm, but grappled with Gallag-
her and held him powerless.

terday morning in the case Of Mrs. ].

under indictment for murder In the
first degree for the alleged killing Of

and Judge Zed S. Stanton OF Roxbury
continued the case. The trial will be
held at the next term Of the Essex
county court which opens the first
