Acn,nlslllon of MhmoJ.
WAFniXGTON. Jan. S.Tiy unanl
mou decision the Supreme Court of
the United States today decided that the
Federal Government could not main
tain the so-called "Panama Canal libel
ulf against the Press Publishing
Company, of New Tork. publisher of
the World, In the Federal Courts of
New Tork.
In !"o holding the court affirmed the
decision of the Circuit Court of the
Vnlted States for the southern district
' of New Tork. which had quashed the
Indictment.
In effect the decision was that the
Federal Court had no Jurisdiction over
the alleged offense, because the case
might have been brought In a state
court.
Indictment Returned In 1909.
The Press Publishing Company, pub
llKher of the New Tork World, was In-dlct-d
In Starch. 1909,' In the Circuit
Court of the Vnlted States for the
southern district of New Tork. on a
charge of libel.
In effect the alleged, libel wa the

dent of the I'nlted States and brother
tn-law of Mr. Rohlnson: W. II. Taft.
then Secretary of War. and brother of
Mr. Taft. were able to effect the sale of
the Panama Canal to the United States
at a profit of $33,000,000.
Art at Congrr9 Pea It With.
The court today dealt entirely with
the act of Congress In 1S9S. under which
the Indictment was brought. The ef
feet of this act was to Incorporate the
criminal laws of the several states, in
force on July 1. 1S98. Into the Federal
statute and to make them applicable
to Federal reservations within the
various states. Within this was a New
Tork libel law.
The court, through Chief Justice
White, said that while the statute left
no doubt that where acts were done on
reservations, which are expressly pro
hibited and punished as crimes by a law
of the United States, that law was dom
inant and controlling: yet where no law
of the United States had expressly ap
peared for the punishment of offenses
committed on reservations, ail acts
done In such reservations, which were
made criminal by the laws of the sev
rral states, were left to be punished
under the applicable statutes.
Two Sides Considered.
"When these results of the statutes
are borne In mind." said the Chief Jus
' tlce. "it become manifest that Con
press. In adopting It, sedulously con
sidered the two-fold character of our
constitutional government and had In
view the enlightened purpose, so far as
the punishment of crime was con--
cerned. to Interfere as little as might
be with the authority of the states over
all territory situated within their ex
terior boundaries, and which hence
would be subject to exclusive state
Jurisdiction but for the existence of a
United States reservation.
"in accomplishing; these purposes it Is
apparent that the statute. Instead of
fixing by Its own terms the punishment
for crimes committed on such reserva
tions which were not previously provid
ed for by a law of the United States,
adopted the state law. with the single
difference that the offense, although
punished as an offense against the
United States, was nevertheless pun
ishable only in the way and to the ex
tent that it would have been punishable
If the territory embraced by the reser
vation remained subject to the Jurlsdlc.
lion of the state."
Investigation Is Reviewed.
Chief Justice White said that Investi
gations plainly established:
First, that adequate means were af
forded for punishing tfie circulation of
a libel on a United States reservation
by the state laws and in the state
courts, without the necesity of resort
ing to the courts of the United States
for redress.
Second, that resort could not be had
to the courts of the United States to
punish the act of publishing a news
paper libel by circulating a copy of the
newspaper on the reservation upon the
theory that such publication was an in
dependent offense separate and distinct
from the primary printing and publish
ing of the libelous article within the
State of New Tork. without disregard
ing the laws of that state and frus
trating the plain purpose of such law.
which was that there should be but a
single prosecution and conviction.
Lower Court Sustained.
'These propositions being true. It fol
lows In the right of construction which
we have given the act of 1R98 that the
court was right In quashing the Indict
ments as not authorized by that act.
No other conclusion, we think, was pos
sible, as It could not have sustained the
Indictment without giving to the stat
ute a meaning directly conflicting with
the construction which we have affixed
to It.
"The ruling which we now make does
not. of course, extend to a subject
which Is not before us. It follows,
therefore, that we do not now Intimate
that the rule which In this case has
controlled our decision would be appli
cable to the case which was wholly
committed on a reservation, disconnect
ed with acts committed within the
jurisdiction of the state, and where the
prosecution for such crime In the
courts of the United States. Instead of
being In conflict with the applicable
statute law. was In all respects in har
mony therewith."

CONTRACT LABOR LAW KILLED
Supremo Court Declares Alabama
"Peonajre Act" rnconstljutlonal
WASHINGTON. Jan. S. Upholding the
Constitution and laws thereunder as a
safeguard to the freedom of labor, the
Supreme Court of the United States,
through Justice Hughes, today declared
unconstitutional the "contract labor law
of Alabama."
The law In question provided that If
a laborer with Intent to defraud, en
tered into a contract to labor for an
other and quit before money advanced
under the contract had been repaid, he
should be guilty of a misdemeanor. The
quitting was made by the law a prima
facie presumption of Intent to defraud.
The Supreme Court today held that
the law in operation furnished a con
venient Instrument for the coercion
which the Constitution and the act of
Congress forbids: and that It was "an
instrument of compulsion peculiarly ef
fective as against the poor and the
Ignorant, the most likely victims."

Two Men Hold Host at Bay.
It is the opinion of some that two
desneradoes alone for many hours held
the police and militia at bay. Thousands
flocking from all parts of London wit
nessed the spectacle; a steady rain of
bullets, flashes of lire, smoke pouring
from the windows, the house in flames
d finally men on the roof, shout
ing defiance and falling into the seeth
ing furnace below.
A police sergeant, searching for the
burglars who only a few nights ago
killed four policemen, was reconnoltering
around the Sidney-street house in the
early hours of the morning. Suddenly a
shot was fired and the sergeant fell with
a bullet through the lung. A call for
police was sounded and the entire neigh
borhood was cordoned.
Artillery Called to Scene.
Persons were driven from their houses
and a pitched battle began between thoso
fortressed In the house and the police.
The Scots Guards from the Tower were
hastily dispatched to the scene and later

came at double quick. Their pieces were
placed in position, but they did not open
fire.
A steady stream of bullets played be
tween the contending forces. The guards
men took up sheltered positions, tiring
volley after volley into the house. Piles
of straw were cast In all directions and
lighted. In the hope that the desperadoes
would be smoked out. At last sparks
were observed shooting from the win
dows, accompanied by clouds of smoke
and here and there flames.
Roof Collapses on Anarchists. -Firemen
stretched their hose and
threw water on the adjoining struc
tures. Soon they directed their streams
against the stronghold of the despera
does, which was now burning fiercely.
Driven from the lower floors the anar
chists made their way to the roof.
where it seemed to the watching thou
sands several forms could be seen
amid the smoke. Then the roof col
lapsed and with it went the men.
Not since the news of the British
disasters at the opening of the South
African campaign has the country been
so aroused as by today's scenes at Step
ney. The newspapers call loudly for a
more effective means of dealing with
the growing terrors of alien immigra
tion, no doubt being held that the
desperadoes who fell today were anar
chists. Unfinished Bombs Found.
A search of the besieged house after
the ruins had cooled a little revealed in
a cupboard a large number of what
appeared to be unfinished metal dyna
mite bombs.
At present there is no evidence that
the house had any other occupants
than the two whose charred bodies
were found. Several others, police and
civilians, received minor injuries.
Immense crowds of sightseers Invest
ed the neighborhood until a late hour
tonight, but a strict police guard was
maintained and it was impossible for
those without authority to get close to
the half-wrecked building. Two fam
ilies who occupied the lower floors of
this building were withdrawn by the
police before the fighting began, and
,ev profess to Know notning or now
the desperadoes gained access.
The latter appeared to nave been in
rooms rented by a Russian woman.
Bessie Gershon, who Is now under ar
rest with other suspects, against whom.
however, no charge has been made.
The police officials show aggravation
at the calling out of the soldiers. They
rnress confidence that tney could have i
handled the affair without the help of
the military. The last occasion on which
he military was so employed was at
the time of ' the notorious Trafalgar
Square riots, when John Burns was ar
rested, tven men tne soiaiers aia not
fire.
It Is difficult to establish the Identity
of the dead desperadoes, but- according J
ANARGHIS
kilinn.ir.ili'iis n i WimI
to reports, it is practically certain that
one is "Dutch Fritz." and that the other
is not "Peter the Painter," for whom
he police are sill searching.
It seems that, when detectives got t. e
Inmates of the lower rooms, the diffi
culty remained of how to remove the
woman, Gershon. who was sleeping on
the upper floor. Finally a ruse was
adopted. A woman from a lower floor
went up and awakened 'the Gershon
woman and begged her to descend, as
the woman's husband was ill. She com
piled with the request, and was ar
rested. According to sn unconfirmed report,
when threatened by the police, she con
fessed that "Dutch Frit" and "Peter
the Painter," were sleeping upstairs.
This story Is doubted, as it is believed
the police had been previously informed
from other quarters.
There is another story that, after the
firing had practically ceased on the part
of the besieged, the police at the rear
of the building heard muffled shots
within, followed by groans, and it is
supposed the anarchists may -have used
their last cartridges to shoot each other
or commit suicide. The method of their
death, however, probably will never be
established, but bullet wounds were
found on the remains of both bodies.
Further details may develop at the in
quest tomorrow.
All the wounded are doing well. Ser
geant Leesot la In a serious condition,
but Is expected to recover.
Late tonight It was said the report
that bombs had been found In the be
sieged house was not true.

of 1912. Mr. Bryan repnea:
"It all dcDends upon Congress. At

I think the entire matter rests with the
next Congress and its action and its

such to be the case there Is nothing
more for roe to say at this time, as
we will all have to await the delibera
