FRICTION WITH MEXICO.
State Department. at Washington Interested
in Securing Temples Release.
HIGHLY IMPORTANT PRINCIPLE INVOLVED,
Mexico virtually wants 10 Try mn
American for killing nn Arizona
Horn Man ON American Soil.

Washington, November 1.-THE state dc
partment is making strong EFFORTS 10 Sc
euro the release OF the American, Tempe
| who is In Mexican jail on the charge
| murder committed In the United STATES
and 1t mas instructed Mr.. Powell Clayton
United States minister 10 Mexico, 10 ad-
dress himself directly TO the Mexican for
eign offre on the subject.
The principle involved in the case Is re-
garded of the highest Importance, for IL
Temple is held for triad by the Mexican
authorities II will amount 10 an admss On
on ithe iart of the United States OF the
right of Mexico TO exercise extra1iti9nary
territorial jurisdiction over American soil.
Substantially the same claim was involved
in the celebrated Cutting case. which came
near causing a breach OF friendly reiaitions,
and 1t arose again IN the more recent case
Of Leonardo Pacheco. Cutting WAS re-
leased by the Mexican government only
after TRIAL Pacheco WIS released, but GOT
on our demand, aud in no case has the
Mexigsan government surrendered It's view,
that n had right to try N person in Mex
leo for an offeclse coma ltted in the United
States. Cutting was in Jail for several
months and Pacheco for two years 1t .s
not at ali probable THAT any such delay will
be permitted in the Temple case. for the
Arizona officials might easily bring the
matter TO an issue by demanding the OK
tradition of Temple for killing u man within
the border of their territory.
But even accepting the Mexican conten-
ton that 1t couid try an American for kill
ing a Mexican In the United States, Il
seems probable that the state department.
can demonstrate that the man Areliv.la
who was killed BY Temple, was not, as his
name would imply, Mexican. The Ari-
iona Officials say that he was born in that
Territory, and although his parents Were
unuattrahzed Mexicans rnder our law he
was a United States citizen If this fact
is established legally the Mexican govern
ment will be put in the peculiar position OF
trying one American FOR killing another
American citizen on American soil.
