public as "Symmes* Hole." This name cam* from -the theory advanced by John

NEW YORK, September ll.-Argument on an order requiring the publishers of

the World and the Sun to show cause

why they should not be enjoined from printing: the narrative of Lieut. Peary's trip to the north pole exactly as appears

in the New York Times was heard yes-

terday by Judge Learned Hand, sitting In the United States circuit court.

Alfred A. Cook of the Arm of Leven-

trltt. Cook & Nathan, who procured the

order, represented the New York Times

Company at the hearing; James M. Beck of the firm of Sherman & Sterling ap? peared for the Sun Publishing Company

and W. H. Van Benschoten of the firm of Bowers & Sands the Press Publishing

Company. Col. James Moloney was pres? ent as special counsel of the New York

Times.

The proceedings were opened by Judge

Hand asking Mr. Cook if the copies of Lieut. Peary's book had been mailed to the librarian of Congress at the time of the Issuance of the preliminary re? straining order at a late hour Thursday night. Mr. Cook replied that the two copies . required by the copyright law were then en route to Washington and

that there had been sales of the copy?

righted book. This "book" consisted of Peary's dispatches In pamphlet form.

Historic Events.

"If the theory upon which the appli? cation for this injunction Is based was pushed to its logical conclusion," said

Mr. Beck, who, by agreement, made the argument for both the World and Sun, "one of the most Important events In the history of the world could be kept

from the public excepting such as were

readers of the New York Times. It

matters not whether Lieut. Peary was

the first or second white man to reach

the north pole. The event was an his? torical olie and through this proceeding it is sought to enjoin the World and the Sun' from publishing a great his? torical fact accomplished by a United States naval officer engaged on a public

mission. If the results of Lieut. Peary's northern trip can be kept from all the people save those who read the Times,

then the scope of copyright protection

has been made to cover a wider circle

than applied to matter hitherto written.

In case the editor of tlva Times de?

cided to Burpress the story, then, under the new construction of copyright, Peary's story could be kept from the people of the entire world."

Judge Hand said he did not consider that the copyright law was intended to choke off the printing of a vital fact, but simply to protect the rights of the author of a literary production. He admitted that the moving papers which had been hurriedly drawn up were poor andi re? quired them to be supplemented*

' Not a literary Production.

"The only averment contained in the

papers." continued Mr. Beck, "is that the

defendants printed a cablegram from

London containing a bald statement of

facts.a summary which in no wise could

be considered a literary production in

form or character. Their claim If follow?

ed to a logical conclusion would have

prevented the newspapers of the world

from publishing the fact that the Span-

lards had been whipped at Manila, If Ad?

miral Dewey had previously entered into

an agreement with the Times.

"It cannot be that the report of a naval

officer engaged on a public mission is

property and can be copyrighted

y a single newspaper. It would be in?

formation for which the people of the na~ tion were paying and were entitled to as

soon as known. The copyright laws were

framed to protect literary work, the ad?

vancement of science, etc., but not to

monopolise the recital of an historical

fact."

When Judge Hand spoke of the appear?

ance of the summary In the World and

the Sun exactly as It was printed in the

Times, Mr. Beck referred to it as being

similar to a train timetable and added

the comment that printed in book form it

was a pretense and a fraud unsanctioned

by law.

"It is one of those subterfuges which the law permits," said the lawyer, who

admitted that the summary, as it doubt?

less appeared in the London Times, had

been

Printed Cook's Narrative.

"If you examine the New York Times

of September 2," continued Mr. Beck,

"you will find It printed Dr. Cook's Btory of the trip to the north pole exactly as it appeared in the Paris edition of the Her?

ald."

After some further discussion Judge

Hand said he nent injunction

would until

not grant a perma?

he had Inspected the

contract of the New York Times with

Lieut. Peary. Counsel for the Times ob?

jected, but the contract was finally pro?

duced.

Those who inspected it were Interested

to note, in view of a claim in the com?

plaint alleging that "complainant incur?

red large expenses," that the Times did

not pay Commander Peary anything out?

right, but merely advanced him $4,UOO as

A loan. This money was to be repaid to

the Times from the proceeds of syndicat?

ing or otherwise disposing of Peary's dis?

patches. Commander Peary was careful

to stipulate that the Times had no con?

nection with the expedition on which he

was about to embark.

With

Peary's agreement with the Times fol?

lows:

New York, July 6, 1908. The New York Times, New York City.

Gentlemen: I herewith acknowledge re?

ceipt of the sum of four thousand dollars (*4.000) from the New York Times, on be? half of Itself and its associates.

It is understood that in making this,

advance the Times does not assume any

responsibility for or any connection with the expedition on which I am about to embark and which baa for its object the finding of the north pole. The money is advanced to me as a loan, to be repaid

to the New York Times and its associates

out of the proceeds of news and literary rights resulting from this expedition, it being understood that If for any reason the expedition is abandoned before the

fall oi 1908 the money is to be refunded

to the Times. If the expedition is suc?

cessful and the pole is discovered I prom?

ise to use every means in my power to reach civilisation and wire to the Times

the full story of the discovery over my signature. The Times Is to have the sole rights to the news of the discovery, and Is to have the exclusive right to its publication in all parts of the world.

Plan of

My understanding is that the Times,

on Its part, agrees to syndicate this

news, both in Europe and in America,

and to give to me the entire amount it

receives after deducting the cost of cable

tolls, etc. The Times and its associates

will pay what they consider a reasona?

ble amount for the use of the material in

their own publications. From the sum

thus raised the $4,000 is to be repaid, ana

I am free to sell the magazine and book

rights to my best advantage. It is under?

however, that should by any possibility not

sum of 94.000 any deficit will be reim?

Aged

One of the most startling scenes enact?

ed in the police court in recent years was put on without preparation this morning when William Singleton, an aged one-armed negro, was arraigned to answer a charge of being drunk on the street. When Singleton was placed in the

dock he fell upon his knees and with

agonizing cries and subsequent supplica?

tions he exclaimed: "Lord, have mercy

on me; I didn't do no wrong!" The audi?

ence without the rail could not refrain

from levity, and after considerable diffi? culty Singleton was hustled down to the prisoners' den, and he was afterward sent back to Washington, In which city

he said he resided.

Other cases disposed of were as fol? lows: Frank Williamson, stealing a coat from" Claude Jackson, fined $5; Henry Richardson, colored, assaulting and beat? ing Arthur Majors, acquitted; Sidney Lewis, suspicious character, acquitted; William Level 1, colored, drunk and dis? orderly conduct, fined $5; Harry Day, colored, threatening actions toward James Huie, colored, acquitted; Robert Coleman, colored, drunk on the street, acquitted
