of a news association, who Is said to
have supplied the data upon which the
alleged libelous articles subsequently
published by the World were based,
the presence outside the grand jury
room of two Becret Service men from
Washington with a mass of documents
and a number of account books, gave
rls to all sorts of rumors.
Mr. Engelman Is said to hare made
an investigation last year in Paris of
the purchase of the canal property by
the United States from the French
stockholders and to have submitted his
findings to the .Democratic National
Committee during the late Presidential
campaign.

Kvirm of Witnesses Called.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 19. The ques
tion whether the Federal Government
or individuals, or both. Instituted the
proceedings for libel In connection with
the Panama Canal purchase remains a
mystery. The Federal grand Jury con
tinued its Investigation today, and a
number of witnesses were examined.
Among these were Douglas Robinson,
brother-in-law of President Roosevelt,
and Charles P. Taft. brother of the
President-elect, both of whom re
mained reticent regarding their testi
mony. All of the Washington correspondents
who were cited to appeal gave Infor
mation establishing their connection
with either the New York World or
the Indianapolis News, while several
newsdealers and a newsboy tcstltied to
having sold the papers to the general
public.

It is now hinted that the President
expects that an Indictment will be
brought In the District of Columbia,

Senate Debates Right to Ask Infor

WASHINGTON Jan. 19. The Sen

Committee Rayner's resolution Inquir

Into the publication of charges re
garding the Panama canal purchase is
being conducted, but this was not done
without much opposition from Rayner
and a lively debate.
Clapp said the Senate should stop
lonr enough to consider "where we
are liable to land if we continue." He
wished to know what method would
be pursued to enforce compliance with

"The Senate has power to enforce Its

to bring the defendants here.
For many years the decisions In the
libel suits against Charles A. Dana,
publisher of the New York Sun,- which
relieved the defendant from the neces
sity of appearing in Washington to
stand trial, stood in the way of action
such as has now been brought. But,
it is contended, a change In the courts
and a change in the law have negatived
those decisions.
Can Take Men to Washington.
The Government has fortified Itself
with the decision of District Judge
Adams, of New York. In the case of the
I'nlted States against Wfmsatt (161
Federal Reporter, page 6S6). This
case was for conspiracy to defraud a
treet-rall way company of the District
of Columbia out of car tickets, and the
court held that "the removal of the
accused from a Federal district to the
District of Columbia cannot be defeat
ed, because the acts charged in tha
indictment are common law offenses,
the District of Columbia being a part
of the United States and the commis
sion of a crime therein being an Indict
able offense against the United States."
The District code expressly provides
for punishment for libel, but the Gov
ernment's legal officers maintain that the
definition of a libel must be obtained by
resorting to the common law. 'It there
fore leaves no room for doubt that the
present Inquiry Is not based upon any
statute, but upon the common law, "the
Interest of public welfare."
Robinson's Evidence Brief.
The corridors and witness-room
swarmed with newspaper 'men and
others summoned to give testimony De-
fore the grand Jury. In addition to ths
a;hington correspondents subpenaed
mere were on hand A. W. Tracey, as
sijtant to Mr. Hornaday. of the Indian
apolis News; .Mr. Rohinson, H. W. Ta-if.
manager of the Western Union Tele
graph Company.
Mr. Robinson was the first witness.
For a long time preceding the giving
or his testimony he was closeted with
District Attorney Raker. He was In the
grand Jury room only five minutes. IIo
declined to give any information regard
Ing his testimony.
Ordered to show Telefrrams.
Mr. Taaf refused to produce copies of
any telegrams or give any evidence with
out an order of the court. Later Justice
Gould, of the Criminal Court. Issued the
necessary order, and Mr. Taaf underwent
an examination before the grand Jury.
Otto Carmli-hael. the head of the
Washington bureau of the New Tork
World, was subjected to a rigid exam
ination and was on the stand for a con
siderable time. He Identified certain
editions of the New York World and
stories appearing In them referring to
the canal purchase. His assistants,'
Messrs. Albert and Conway, gave cor
roborative testimony.
No Snapshots of C. P. Taft.
Charles P. Taft. brother of- the President-elect,
against whom some of the
libelous articles are said to have been
directed, arrived at the Courthouse at
noon. and. after conference with the
District Attorney, entered the grand
Jury room. When Mr. Taft made his
appearance a number of photographers
had their cameras ready to take his
picture, but detectives, acting under or
ders of Mr. Raker, prevented their doing
so. The testimony of Mr. Taft consumed
but five minutes. Ho declined to dis

(Continued From First Pag.)
President's position as outlined In the
Sacramento dispatches Is absolutely cor
rect. He said the Presiednt is aeiermineu
that this legislation shall not be enacted
until after the Callfornians have had
pointed out to them the injustice of their
attitude toward the Japanese. The Cal
ifornia Senators frequently have con
ferred with the President and are aiding
him In holding up the legislation pending
a full explanation of the federal uov-
ernment's position in the matter.
GOVKRXMENT IS PKOSECCTOR
Mystery of I.lbel Inquiry Solved by
World Man's Subpena.
NEW YORK, Jan. 15. The veil of
mystery which for the last two days
has enveloped the secret examination
before the Federal grand Jury here of
newspaper men and others believed to
have knowledge regarding the publi
cation of alleged libelous matter con
cerning the purchase by the United
.states of the Panama Canal Company,
would seem to have been lifted tonlghc
by the issuance of a subpena in which
for the first time the names of both the
complainant and defendant are made
public.
This document made out against
'John Doe." was served upon William
J. Dempsey. head of the mailing de-
rartmenc of the New York World, and
commands his appearance before the
Federal grand Jury to testify "in the
matter of the United States against the
Press Publishing Company, which com
pany publishes the World.

establishes the proceedings as an ac

CALIFORNIA TO BELAY ACTION
After Conference With Iveirlslatlve
Leaders, Gillctt Promises to Wait.
SACRAMENTO. Cal.. Jan. 19. Accord
ing to a statement made tonight by Gov
ernor Glllett. there will be no legislation
against the Japanese at this session of
the Legislature. The Governor autnor-
ized the following statement:
"After conversing with the leading
members of both branches of the Legis
lature tonight, I am convinced that no
legislation directed against the Japanese
will be enacted. I am satisfied that the
people of California, and particularly the
members of our Legislature, appreciate
the efforts being made by the Federal
Government and the representatives of
Japan to stop emigration to this coun
try of Japanese laborers, skilled and un
skilled. "There can be no doubt that the Japan
ese government is acting absolutely In
good faith In Its endeavor to prevent
Its people emigrating to our country, and
In my Judgment It would be a serious
mistake, while they are so doing, to en
act any laws directed against the Japan
ese people.
This question Is one In which the Fed
eral Government Is particularly Inter
ested, and Its wishes should be care
fully considered and will be, I am sure,
by the people of this state."
A general understanding was reached
tonight by leaders In the assembly re
garding the action to be taken tomorrow
on the Drew bill, preventing aliens from
holding lands, and the Johnson bill, de
nying them the right to be directors In
corporations. They have been mado a
special order of business and a fierce right
Is predicted by their friends.
Their opponents will hold, as do Gov
ernor Gillctt, Lieutenant-Governor Por
ter and Speaker Stanton, that the anti
Japanese land bills would keep foreign
capitalists from Kurope as well as Asia
from Investing In California land, there
by working great harm from the financial
standpoint.
This argument also is applied by the
Governor and the Speaner to the directors
bill, they declaring that many rich Eu
ropean corporations now doing business
In the state through resident llrectora
who are not citizens would be seriously
inconvenienced and undoubtedly would
withdraw great sums of money from in
vestment here.
On the other hand, the frlejids of the
anti-Japanese measures assert that they
are demanded by the people of the whole
state, and that they will not give up
without a struggle.
Assemblyman Johnson announced on
the floor of the House today that ho
would "contest the right of the President
or anybody else to delay legislation." He
is author of the measure preventing the
Japanese being members of corporations.
Assemblyman Drew, author of the land
bill. Is not so belligerent. He said today
that he would do all In his power to se
cure the passage of his bill, and believed
that If it were put to a vote at once
In either house it would pass quickly.
However, he said, the Governor had the
veto power and the fate of the bill would
be "up to the executive."
WASHINGTON. Jan. 19. The salaries
of the President. Vice-President and
Speaker of the House were again under
discussion in the Senate today, when
the legislative, executive and Judicial
appropriation bill was taken up. Amend
ments were adopted Increasing the Pres
ident's salary to $100,000. that of the
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court to
116,000. and those of Associate Justices
to J14.500.
Warren, In charge of the bill, expressed
the hope that the allowance of $5000 an
nually for carriages or other vehicles for
the Speaker and Vice-President would
be allowed to stand.
Bar All Autoa.
Bailey offered an amendment to ellml
nate the words "other vehicles," so as to
prevent the purchase of automobiles.
Then he delivered a glowing tribute to
the horse.
Warren declared that on his ranch In
Wyoming automobiles were used to nun
up and save the horses and sometimes
he had sent an automobile 200 miles to
save sheep that otherwise would have
perished.
Dixon opposed the appropriation of
Government money for carriages.
Hemenway said that If Congress were
to provide carriages for heads of de
partments and others la the executive
branch of the Government, he thought
they should be allowed the Vice-Pres
ident and the Speaker.
Money argued that large expendi
tures were not necessary to maintain
the dignity of office.
Borah said he would offer an amend
ment doing away with all official car
rlages.
Battleships Come Tp. '
Hale commented on the Increase In
expenditures on the battleships, which
he said was so great that the Interest
on the amount expended on one of
them was more than all tire Increases
of salaries provided for In this bill.
"We shall," he said, "never reduce
the expenses of the Government until
we take in hand not only the question
of salaries, but the enormous expendl
tures that we are asked to make for
the military."
lie called attention to the fact that
we faced a aencit in me revenues oi
the Government during the next year
of J130.000.000.
By a vote of 40 to Zl the provision or
15000 annually for carriages and horses
each for the Speaker and Vice-President
was stricken from the bill.
An amendment to reduce the salary al
lowance of the President from $100,000 to
$75,000 was. defeated by a vote of 33 to 32.
Executive Gets -'Raise."
The amendment increasing the salary
of the President to $100,000 was adopted
by a vote of 35 to 30. The Republican
Senators who voted against the increase
were: Beverldge, Borah, Brown, Burkett,
Clapp, Dolliver, La FoUette and Plies. No
Democratic Senators voted in ravor or the
Increase. The amendment was adopted
providing for an "Under Secretary of
State," to be paid $10,000 a year.
The salary of the Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court of the United States was
fixed at $15,000, instead or J1Z.500, as at
present, and the salaries of Assistant Jus
tices at $14,500, instead of $12,600. The bill
was still under discussion when the Sen
ate adjourned.
"YELLOW PRESS" TO BLAME
Conservative Japanese Newspapers
Condemn Sensational Articles.
TOKIO. Jan. 19 The nature of the
matter cabled from Japan quoting the
Japanese sensationalist press in re
gard to the anti-Japanese bills present
ed to the State Legislature In Cali
fornia, is arousing the Indignation of
leading newspapers and American resi
dents in Japan, who assert that the se
lections sent out wero taken from the
columns of the least responsible news
papers in Japan, whose real character
Is not understood In the United States.
It Is declared also that this was done
intentionally, and that the articles are
calculated to re-arouse feelings of bit
terness on both sides of the Pacific
Ocean. The leading newspapers de
nounce what they term an effort to
create International unfriendliness.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 19. Disposing of

chair during the debate on the pension
appropriation bill, which abolishes all but
one of the 18 pension agencies through
out the country. The bill, which carries
total appropriation of $160,869,000, was
passed virtually as reported by the com
mittee On pensions. Taylor precipitated
debate on the proposed consolidation of
pension agencies by offering an amend
ment providing that the salaries of the
17 pension agents whom the bill proposes
to abolish be continued. Trie amendment
was defeated by a vote of 124 to 71.
The urgent deficiency bill, which car
ries appropriations amounting to $1,062,-
402, was passed after a roll call and sev
eral votes had been canea tor on an
amendment offered by Heflin of Alabama.
