Washington, D. c, Jan. 4-By un-
aninous decision the supreme court
of the United States decided that the
federal government could not main
tain the socaled Panama canal libel
suit" against the Press Publishing
company of New York, III the federal
courts of New York.
In 50 holding. the court affirmed
the decision of the circuit court oil
the United States for the Southern
district Of New York which had quasi
ed the Indictment.
In effect the decision was that the
federal court had no jurisdiction ov-
er the alleged offense, because the
case might have been brought in a
state court.
The court dealt entirely with the
act of congress III 1898, under which
the Indictment was brought. The
effect Of this act was to incorporate
the priminal laws of the several
states in force on July /, 1885 into
the federal tsatute and to make Them
applicable to federal reservations
within the various states Among
these was a New York libel law.

FURNITURE
FACTORY MAS
IN DANCER

Falling Of spark into vat Of
shellac at tie Guthrie furniture fac
tory at noon today caused a genuine
fire scare, but resulted in little dam
age. The entire equipment Of Cen
trail and West Side fire stations was
called out. No water was used, the
flames being put out with chemicals
The alarm was sounded at 12.10.
The shellac flared up from the spark
and a dangerous situation at once de-
Neloped The spread of the fire from
the paint room would have been very
rapid, but for the partial smothering
done before the fire department ar
rived and the quick work Of the de-
partment with chemicals instead Of
water which could easily have spread
the fire on account of the oils, No
estimate OF damage has been given
out
The factory is running full blast
and is turning out many large orders.
