WASIHVOTOX, Oct. 14. The final
attempt of the Federal Government to
uphold the validity of the Indictment
In the New Tork Federal Court of the
Press Publishing Company. In a charge
ef libel growing out of the pabllcaUoa
of an arltcle In the New Tork World
on the purchase of the Panama Canal,
m made today In oral argument be
fore the Supreme Court of the United
. States. The Goverornenf effort were
opposed by arguments for the Free
Publishing Company, designed to u
taln the action of the lower Federal
Court In ouashlng the Indictment.
Sweeping principles of law were said
to be Involved. Libelous statements.
It Is allecrd had been published con
cernlng the highest official of the
land.
The article In question was printed In
the heat of the Presidential campaign
In 190. rt- charged that Charles P.
Taft. Douglas Koblnson and William
Nrlson Cromwell, with J. P. Morgan
and others, obtained possession of the
Panama Canal route for 13.000.000. ana
through Intimacy with Theodore Roose
velt, then President, and William IT.
Taft. then Secretary of War. had sold
the property to the United State at a
profit of $JS. 000.000.
Early History Recalled.
James C McReynolda. Special Assist
ant Atorney-General. spoke 1 minute
for the Government in opening. He
was followed by Delaneey Nlcoll. of
New York, for the Press Publishing
Company.
Mr. McKeynolds. In bis opening state
ment. said that the lower court had
erred In quashing the Indictment
against the Press Publishing Company
on the charge of circulating a libelous
article at the West Point Military. Res
ervatlon.
Mr. Nlcoll spoke of the case as a
"legal curiosity." He said Attorney
General Bonapart had the revelation
that In 1S9S. Congress, without Intend
Ing It. really had re-enacted the sedi
tion laws of 1798.
In closing. Mr. Nlcoll said:
"As a matter of fact, the prosecution
was premature, born before It time.
b.Monsrtng to a new dispensation when
the Federal Government bad taken to
Itself all power and authority and the
states had been reduced to mere geo
graphical districts: when the Federal
tribunals shall no longer try cases In
accordance with precedent and the
law. but according to the needs of the
time as Interpreted to them by some
great steward of the public welfare.
Koonevrira Words Rehearsed.
Jut before coming to hi peroration.
Mr. Nlcoll had presented to the court
In dramatic fashion an argument to
show that the whole history 'of the
country condemns the construction of
the art of Congress asserted by the
Government-
He dwelt first upon the unpopularity
of tl:e sedition act of lTt-S. designed to
punish the publication of articles, with
Intent to stir up sedition. Then he
' came down to 1830. when, he said,
James Ilurhanan. later President of the
Potted States. In the trial of Judge
1'evk In the United State Senate, had
arirued that the founders of the Con
stltution had been afraid to give the
e1eral Government authority over the
subjects of llbeL
finally, he took np President Roose
velt's secial message to Congress In
retard to the alleged llbeL II de-
slEnated It as "curious reading. For
the next few minutes his voice rang
thronch the little court room as he
read a portion of the message holding
It to be "A high National duty" to
bring to justice him who "wantonly
and wlrkedly and without one shadow
of Justification seeks to blacken the
character of reputable private cltlsens,
and to convict the Government of his
own country In the eyes of the civilised
world of wrong doing of the basest and
foulest kftid."
Early ItrcisioB Not Expected.
In him concluding arguments. Mr.
Mi Reynolds told the court that the
Government was concerned In protect
ing the ieople residing in a Federal
Jurisdiction. In rebuttal to the argu
ment that the prosecution should have
been broucht where the alleged libel
was printed, or In other words. In state
courts, he contended that the offense
of libel was not limited to the mere
art of printing, but including acts of
making It public. One of these oc
curred, he claimed. In Federal terri
tory. He entered Into colloquy with
Justices Holmes. White and Day as to
what the law of New York State Is
as to libels.
The entire argument on both side
was limited to two hours. The court
then took the case under advisement.
An opinion may not be rendered for
several weeks.

NO CONSTRUCTION STARTS
Secretary Balllnger Writes Bourne
Action of Congress on This Legls
Jation Show Work on Hand
Must Be Completed First.
OREGON1. N NEWS BUREAU. Wash
lngton. Oct. 24. Because Congress
specified that no part of the specia
reclamation fend of $20,000,000 should
be used upon any new projects and that
no new projects shall be taken up with
any funds available, except upon spe
clflo order of the President, neither
the Owyhee nor Malheur irrigation pro
jects In Eastern Oregon will be bene
11 ted this year.
Secretary Balllncrer today wrote Sen
ator Bourne In reference to the recom
mendatlon of State Knglneer ewls
In regard to the adoption of the Owy
hee Irrigation project, saying in part
"No construction was ever commenced
on either the Malheur or Owyhee
projects and under these circumstances
It becomes Impossible under the law
to employ any of the special $20,000,000
fund provided at the last session of
Congress for their construction. Tho
action of Congress upon this particular
legislation as well as the debates shows
conclusively that Congress very strong
ly desires the completion of present
projects before new wtjrk is inaugurat
ed. With this special appropriation and
prospective receipts Into the .reclamation
fund in the regular way. it will prob
ably require from six to eight years to
complete the project already in prog'
resa, and it is obviously the desire of
Congress, as It Is also good business
policy, to do this before Inaugurating
new work.
Advice Is Given.
"Under these circumstances, in my
Judgment, it would be unwise to ex
pend any considerable portion of the
reclamation fund, which is badly need
ed for construction, in the survey of
any new projects further than to con
tlnue measurements of the water sup
ply. If the State Engineer should ex
tend the water rights of the United
States to the waters of the Owyhee and
Malheur rivers to a time when it will
be feasible to construct and complete
these projects, or either of them. It
might have the effect of discouraging
private enterprise In the same field and
would thus be opposed to the fixed pol
icies of this department, and to the
best interests of Kastern Oregon.
However, if in the Judgment of the
State Engineer, the Governor and your'
self it is to the advantage of the state
that the Interests of the United States
In the Owyhee projects be continued by
the extension of the water right in the
hope that it may some day be under
taken by the reclamation service, this
department will have no objection to
such an extension, but it can make no
promises regarding operations which
are necessarily several years In the
future.
In his letter Secretary Ballinger also
says:
Inquiry Made tn 1904.
Some preliminary Investigations of
the Owyhee project were made by the
Reclamation Service in 1904, in connec
tion with similar investigations on the
Malheur project and strenuous efforts
were made to overcome obstacles to
construction of these projects at that
time, when plenty of funds were avail.
able for their construction. The proj
ects were formally abandoned upon
practically the unanimous decision of
the land-owners of the valley that the
lands would not repay the cost of their
reclamation.
Recent increases In land values In
this region have led many persons to
consider the project now feasible, and
it ha always been regarded by the
Reclamation Service as an attractive
one for Government construction from
a physical standpoint- It is estimated
that completion of the work already
nder way by the Reclamation Service
will cost about $70,000,000. and in some
places land to be Irrigated has already
been settled by persons who have been
waiting for the e: pected water supply
for some years.
In order to relieve this condition
Congress at Its last session authorized
reclamation fund of $20,000,000 In or
der to expedite the completion of proj
ects already commenced. The act au-
horixing this appropriation specified
that none of it should be used upon any
new projects and that no new projects
should be taken up with any funds
available except upon specific order of

Standard Oil Company Sow Can
Only Recover Cost of Empty
- Cases Question Rises in War.
ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 24. The Rus
sian government has declined the Eng
lish proposal to arbitrate the steamer
Oldhamia dispute and the American re
quest for compensation for the cargo on
the ground that tho decision of the Rus
sian courts that the cargo waa contra
band was final.
The British steamer Oldhamia was
captured by the Russians May 19, 1905,
in the Russo-Japanese war, while bound
from Yokohama with a cargo of kero
sene consigned by American citizens.
She was recaptured by the Japanese in
the battle of the Sea of Japan and taken
to Sasebo, where her cargo waa sold.
The consigners and the British owners
of the vessel in July, 1905, placed their
case In the hands of an attorney of St.
Petersburg, who was empowered to ask
the prize court to act as adjudicator.
At the preliminary investigation ny
the Russian government, In answer to
the representation of the British govern
ment, it was said that the capture of
the Oldhamia was because of the pres
ence of contraband, either shells or ma
chinery in her cargo, the uncertainty be
ing due to the similarity of the .Russian
words describing these objections.
The case was eventually transferred
to the prize court at Llbau to facilitate
the representations on behalf . of the
American and British owners of the
cargo, which was valued at $123,000 arid
was the property of the Standard Oil
Company.
The prize court decided that tne
steamer carried no explosives and found
in favor of the American consigners and
appointed arbitrators to determine the
damages.
This was not satisfactory to the Man
chester & Salfbrd Shipping Company, the
owners, and the Standard Oil Company,
who demanded a total compensation of
$500,000 and appealed to the supreme
prize court of Russia. The court re
jected the appeal and gave the standard
Oil Company only tho right to take legal
teps to recover the cost of empty cases.
