WORLD'SUBEL SUIT
Proceedings Begun In United
States Circuit Court.
New York, Jan. 25. The criminal
libel suit of the government against
the Press Publishing company (the
New York World) was begun In the
United States circuit court before
Judge Charles M. Hough. The com
plainants, whom the World is alleged
to have libelled in the series of six ar
ticles published in October, 1908, are
Theodore Roosevelt, President Will
iam Howard Taft. Charles P. Taft, the
president's half-brothert- Douglas Rob
inson, brother-in-law of Colonel Roose
velt, and William Nelson Cromwell.
The Indictment on which the suit Is
based contains 14 counts.
In substance the indictments charge
that the World accused certain per
sonsAmericans some of whom ap
pear in connection with this prosecu
tion as complainants, of receiving
Borne part of the $40,000,000 paid by
the government to the French Panama.
Canal company, and that the United
States government and the certain in
dividuals in the government conspired
to bring about the revolution In the
republic of Colombia by which the
present canal zone was detached from
tho republic.
Almost at the outset argument arose
between Delancey Nlcoll, counsel for
the Press Publishing company, and
United States District Attorney Wise
for the government and the complain
ants as to the jurisdiction of the court.
In examining the firBt batch of tales
men Mr. Nlcoll asked if they under
stood that in libel actions in this state
the jury are Judges of the law as well
as the facts.
Mr. Wise promptly objected and
Justice Hough sustained the objec
tion. There whs a panel of 100 summoned
for examination. The jury box was
not filled when court adjourned.
While quizzing the talesmen Mr.
Nlcoll summarized the points to be
emphasized by the defense, two In
number, justification and excusable li
bel. He invariably asked the tales
men If they were the sort of men who
believed that the government was al
ways right In everything it did.
Mr. Nlcoll will make a motion that
the case bu dismissed.

Btances to prosecute Helke would be
