PLACE OF ACTION ISSUE
Panama Action In Federal Court
Because New York World Circu
late at West Point Defease
Objects to Supreme Court.
WASHINGTON. Oct M. When the so
r;id 1'aiiimt libel suit of the United
Flairs against tba Press Publishing; Com-
pany of New Tork u called for ariru
ment today la the Ajpreme Court of the
1,'nUed States, the attorneys obtained a
postponement until Monday.
Tiw case u not reached until ao lata
In tli afternoon that the anrunient could
cat have been completed today had the
attorneys proceeded. The present plan
of the court Is to hear the case after
tie rendering of opinions on Monday.
Briefs on behalf of the Government
and the Press Publishing Company were
f I -d In the Supremo Court of tha United
Scares today.
Tt-jr rase la that In which x-Pre.ident
Kww.'fit ordered the Department of
Justice to proceed asa'rst tha publisher
of the New Tork World becaues of the
publication of stories to the effect that
tner had been favoritism In tha pur
tlnfs of the Panama Canal property by
wl.lrh capitalist Including Charles) P.
Tart, brother of the Prealdent: Douglas
Koblnern. brother-in-law of ex-President
Iloofei-elt. and others Here charged with
tax ing reaped great financial benefit.
Legality of Action Coa tended.
Because of tb fact that the World
elrrulated upon the Government reserva
tion at Wet Point tha lbel proceedings
were brought in tha Federal Courts and
on tha b-gallty of this artlon depended
the chief contentions of tha defendants'
counsel.
The brief for tba Press Publishing Com
pany as filed by Delancey Klcoll. of
New Tork. aiwlstant counsel. This coo
tended that even though tha language
of tha act of 159. was literally broad
enough to rover tha case. It should not
t so construed, for several reasons: The
foremont of these waa that the "general
acqulrsenc of legal minds for nearly a
century In tha negative of tha proposi
tion forbids the construction now for tha
first time asserted by the Government."
Action Held Unprecedented.
'During this period wa have passed
through the mont momentoua events of
our history." said the attorney. "In all
the fierce dlscuneiens of the press no
one baa ever held till now thst tha
courts of the United States have Juris
diction to punish a nbel first printed,
published and circulated In one of tha
states snd which. In tha course of a
general circulation, haa happened to pene
trate into this Federal reservation."
Another reason advanced against tha
Government construction waa "that the
whole history and Ufa of the country
t.i utterly at variance with any such
construction," tha necessary result of
which. It was contended, would be to
confer upon the National authority a
general control over the press of tha
country.
Tha Government's brief was argued
by Attorney-General Wickersham,
James M. Reynolds and Stuart McNa
niara. It not only contained a state
ment of facts, bnt an argument In sup
port of Its position that the Indict
ment against tba Presa Publishing
'oral. any should not have been
quashed.
ULstorj of Case Reviewed.
"In effect." says tha Government's
brief, "the published article charges
that Charlea P. Tatt, Douglas Robinson
and William Nelson Cromwell, with J.
1'terpont Morgan and others, acting
through an American syndicate, ob
tained control of the securities of tha
rench company which owned tha
Panama Canal route and Ita properties
for the approximate sum of fS.OOO.AOe.
Aided by tha intimacy which they en
joyed with Theodore Roosevelt, then
President of the United States, and
brother-in-law of Douglas Robinson
i and William H. Taft. then Secretary of
War. and brother of Cliarlea P. Tsft.
and by the co-operation of these offi
cials with them, they were enabled to
effect tha sals of tha Panama Canal to
t ie United States for S4v.000.OOV and
reap a profit of aoma lls.OOD.eoa. which
was divided, aa charged, among Gov
ernment favorites la the world of pol
itics aud finance.
The substantial question which tha
Government holds Is before tha court
was set out In the brief aa being
hether or not tha United States courts
base Jurisdiction to punish a corpora
tion which printed In the City of New
Tork a new.naper containing a libel,
criminal under the laws of the Blata
of New Tork. and circulated copies of
the uim within the Federal Territory of
tha same within the Federal Territory
West Point. Tha Governments claim
Is based on an act of Congress of 1SX
wifh tha Government urges "operates
to transfer tna stale law to Federal
territory, for tha purpose of punishing
acts committed there which. If per
formed outside and In tha Jurisdiction
of tha state, would be amendable to Its
laws."
riat-e of Action Is Issue.
In the Government brief. It la ar
gued that It la not only tha right, but
the duty of Conaresa, so to legislate
conrernlnt territory under Its exclusive
Jurisdiction as to preserve peace) and
good order therein.
"The fact that one may be punished for
Issuing a libel In New York Is no rea
son,' says the Government, "for allow
ing him to go free of all punishment
for circulating It at West Point. The
people In the latter place are entitled
to protection."
Tha Inconvenience to the accused of
belna" subjected to prosecutions la sun
dry places, where their alleged libels
are circulated, was met with the argu
ment that "the Inconvenience which
may be suffered by criminals haa not
gonerally been regarded as adequate
reasons for permittlnc them to oper
ate without restraint."
Tho auggestton that the offense
rhara-ed could be punished In New York
State courts and therefore was nor
intended to be included In the act of
l brought forth the argument from
the Government "that the state of New
Tor a cannot punish an offense com
mitted at West Point against tha
United "Slates. "

GAFY DES LYS IS BLAMED
Former King: Says Passion for
Parisian Singer Was Bat Pass
Ins Fancy, and Resents Her
. Published Interview.
LONDON. Oct. 81. (Special.) His
friends fear that poor King Manuel will
become a nervous wreck. He never ven
tures outside the gardens of his pala
tial stopping place, and would not even
leave his room did not his mother,
Queen Amelie, Insist on It.
Manuel looks wretched, thin, worn,
scared, unkempt. In fact. With broken
step he walks around the gardens. aJ
ways lamenting his fate and saying he
has nothing left to live for now. His
mother is always with him and has
him under complete control. He Is a
boy with no strength of character, emo
tional, artistic and with all his father's
Intense addiction to luxury and pleas
ures. He is very polite and grateful to
those about him, but rebuffs all efforts
to arouse and amuse him.
Manuel talks constantly of his grief
at the hatred of his people and the pop
ular declaration that hla downfall was
largely due to the Influence of Gaby des
Lys. the actress of whom he waa enam
ored. .
"I care nothing for Gaby des Lys," he
has said often since the downfall of hla
kingdom. "My passion for her was
but a passing fancy."
Manuel reviews the Interviews given
by the dancer in which she has de
clared herself the sweetheart of the
dethroned King.
Both King and Queen, It Is said, felt
Intensely the Spanish government's re
fusal to permit them to go to her
mother's Villa Manrlqus near Seville.
But tha Queen, a fine politician, must
recognize that this Is not tha ttma for
King Alfonso to do anything that would
give pretext or capital to hla enemies.
The exiles receive numerous de
spatches by messenger from Lisbon
dally. Several Portuguese monarchists
have called on them whose names were
not given to the newspaper men.
It la reported here that Queen Amelie
says tho Republican government can
not last many daya and her son will be
recalled; that the Braga ministry al
ready has narrowly passed through two
crises and that the threatened econo
mise In the Portuguese civil and mili
tary services have raised a host of

She was on the stairway and I was on
the floor above. She had hold of my
hand and was leaning across the ban
ister. In some manner she lost her
balance, fell over the banister and
crashed to the floor below."
The other story was that the Count

stairway when the Countess' foot slip

foremost over the banister. It was said
that she and the Count were alone in
the house at the time, except for the
