NO CLAIM AGAINST MEXICO.
The state Department Declines tt
Prosecute the Allen Case

The state DEPARTMENT. Declines to
Prosecute the Allen Case.
The State Department has declined to
press the claim Of Charles S Allen. an
American, for damages against Mexico
for alleged false imprisonment. taking. as
the ground of this decision that there has
been no denial Of justice In a written
communication on tEe subject the depart
nleut explains its action as follows
THE gist of the complaint is that Mr.
Allen was arrested for working on
street in the town Of Ersor.ada in repair
ing a broken water pipe without permit
Of the municipality The result Of the
judicial proceedings had was a final dis
charge by the Superior Court Of the city
Of Mexico The claimant asks damages
for his imprisonment
IN cases Of this nature the right Of
diplomatic intervention does not exist
without showing that there has been a
denial Of justice Precisely the contrary
appears from the showing made by the
claimant since it appears that as the re-
suit of the judicial proceedings and by
the decision Of the Superior Court the
claimant was absolutely set at liberty It
follows. therefore. that the Government Of
the United States is unable TO entertain
the claim.
1t not infrequently happens that in
the United States wrongs are committed
by way of malicious prosecution and false
imprisonment The most that could be
said II that much could be said in this
case, is that Mr.. Allen has been subjected
TO false imprisonment or malicious prose
cution- In both countries ample rene
dies are afforded before the local tribun-
ais for the redress OF such grievances and
the rule Of international law is we'll set
tied that diplomatic intervention does not
lie n such cases until all ordinary rene
dies which are afforded by the local laws
have been exhausted
