Counsel Claim That Subpoenas Were Worded In General Terms and Failed to Make It Plain What the Action Is or Against Whom It Is Directed. District Attorney Stlmson Argues For Validity Briefs to Be Submitted This Afternoon. New York, Jan. 19. The right of the five employes of the Now York World subpoenaed to appear before the federal grand Jury to give Inform ation, presumably regarding the pub lication of alleged libelous matter re flecting upon the Integrity of the United States government, to ignore the said subpoenas ' on the ground that their issuance was an abuse of process, was left undetermined at the hearing of the case In the United States circuit court here. After arguments by United States District Attorney Henry L. Stlmson, representing the government, and De lancey Nicoll and John M. Bowers, representing the World, Judge Henry G. Ward gave both sides until today at 4 o'clock to submit briefs. While the proceedings are believed to have been brought upon the Initia tive of President Roosevelt and In con nection with the publication of a story allr-tng Irregularities In the purchase of the French Panama Canal com pany by the United States government, there is nothing In the subpoena Is sued, not only against the World em ployes but against Beveral other Indl vldtials, to indicate what the lnqulst tlon is about, who the complainant Is and against whom the action is brought. In the arguments in support of the contention of Messrs. Nlcoll and Bow ers that the subpoenas should be quashed particular stress was laid upon that part of the documents In question which calls for the appear ance before the federal grand Jury of those subpoenaed for the purpose of testifying "to all and everything you may know generally on the part of the United States." Subpoenas worded In such general terms, which failed to make It plain what the action was or against whom It was directed. Mr. Bowers argued, had unlformally been adjudged faulty by the courts, and as such dismissed. Mr. Stlmson, on the other hand, con tended that the subpoenas were In every way valid and that their legality had been tested in the cases of the government against Charles W. Morse, F. Augustus Heinze and Theodore Price, to name only a few. The general Inquiry was not halted, however, by the action of the World men In questioning the validity of the process by which thev had been sum moned to appear before the federal grand Jury. H. H. Bjornson, a clerk In the law office of William Nelson Cromwell, through whom the purchase of the canal property was affected, and Jonas Whitley, formerly a news paper man, but now attached to Mr. Cromwell's law office, were both ex amined In the course of the day.
