DIFFICULTIES ON HIGH SEAS.
Practically Impossible Find Successful Way Dealing With Oenses
Such as SWindng Ocean Liners

Europe claim the right to punish their
subjects for crimes, no matter where
the latter have been committed. and TO
such a degree is this theory carried that.
for instance, an Austrian or q Russian
guilty OF robbing one of their fellow
countrymen in this country, and pun
ished for their crime by the courts here.
would expose themselves on their return
TO their native land to trial by the
tribunals there for the same offense
with a second dose of penal servitude
In the event of conviction.
1t is doubtful whether the commander
OF the hypothetical German liner mem
toned above would be willing to give
up the Frenchman guilty of murder. per-
petrated on board during the trip across
the Atlantic, to the Cherbourg authori-
ties without peremptory orders from his
superior officers and on their RESPONSE
bility. For theoretically the captain is
bound, according to the ships papers. to
convey people on board his vessel to the
port for which she has been cleared.
The matter would undoubtedly lead to
a clash between the French and Ger
man authorities, and something akin TO
a diplomatic imbroglio between their
two countries might result. thanks to
the confusion which prevails with re-
gard to the question of Jurisdiction.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1903-08-30
Would Be Tried Abroad.

The prisoner. even If an American
citizen, would. in view OF the fact that
the crime had been perpetrated on board
an English mercantile vessel flying the
English flag, be taken back to Liverpool
on an eXtradition commitment and
placed on trial in England. Should the
murderer in some way or another escape
on arriving in this country, either prior
or subsequent 10 his being taken into
custody here. and be afterward appre-
hended on British soil, or on q merchant
ship in an English port, he could, of
course, be tried by the British courts
without any eXtradltion procedure. AS
an illustration OF this, | NAV cite the
case Of some Swedish and English sail
ors Of an English ship who. after the
foundering of the latter in the South
Atlantic, were, while drifting about In
an open boat before being rescued.
driven by the pangs of hunger to kill and
devour one OF their number, a cabin boy.
Brought by the vessel that rescued them
to an English port, it was only some
time after their arrival there that this
crime became known. They were at
once apprehended, tried at the Plymouth
assizes on charges OF murder committed
on the high seas, and sentenced to long
terms of penal seTvitude
Were robbery TO be perpetrated on
German liner while on its way from
Hamburg to New York, either by
Frenchman or even an American citizen,
he would be arrested on his arrival here
at the request of the German consul,
held for extradition. and then sent back
to Germany for trial On the other
hand, ii a Frenchman were to render
himself guilty of murder on board one
of the German liners while on its way
from New York to Hamburg via Cher
bourg, he should, strictly speaking. be
carried on 10 Hamburg for trial there.

Escape of Bourgogne Sailors.

Another instance of the latter was
furnished at the time of the loss If .he
French liner Bourgogne. II may De re-
membered that the survivors were lard
ed at Halifax and sent back by rail to
New York, their port of departure On
reaching New York several of the cabin
passengers charged certain Dalmatian
members Of the crew with having used
their knives to cut down defenseIes IS
were in their way in their eagerness to
escape. The men in question were also
accused of having Drained with their
oars passengers clinging to the boat CT
which they had taken possession. Yet,
although these charges were definite and
the identity of the men accused duly
specified. nothing could be done to bring
them to justice, the fact that they had
been on board French vessel cleared
for French port, that their crime had
been committed on the high seas, and
that their voyage had by force majeure
been brought to a close in a Cana dian
port, rendering them immune from the
jurisdiction of the United States. They
could only have been brought TO justice
either before the English tribunals at
Halifax or before those in France

SCREWS PUT ON TURKEY
BY AMERICAN FLEETS
Sultan Is Often Forced to Right
Wrongs To Americans.

Admiral Cotton's unwelcome call at
Beirut with the European squadron will
not be the first the American Navy has
paid to that port under similar circum-
stances.
In 1885. at the time Of the terrible
Armenian massacres. President CIeve-
land sent Admiral Seifridge with a
squadron to Beirut and other ports IN
Asiatic Turkey to remind the Sultan
that justice would better be done TO
American citizens who suffered wrongs
at the hands of Moslems.
The order for the squadron to sail for
Asiatic Turkey was issued April s. 1895.
Protest was filed by the Turkish minis
ter in the United States, but in vain.
Harput, the scene of disturbances in
Asia Minor. at that time. has been a
storm center of the movement against
Christian missionaries for many years.
In December, 1895, the homes of three
missionaries. chapel. girls theological
school, seminary, and several other mis-
sionary buildings were burned I'm the
presence OF Turkish soldiery by Kurds
and citizens The total loss to the mis-
sions was 500. OOO
On November 9 of the same year the
American Missionary School Of Scieuce.
at Marash. was burned during a riot.
George Weber, an American citizen of
Bavarian birth. was so ilI-traated the
same year at Broussa that he died. He
was 20 years Of age and was travelling
in Turkey. His passport was ignored
and he was wrongfuIly arrested for
trifing offense and thrown into Jail
where he died as the result of priva-
lions. II was afterward shown that he
was innocent Of the charge made against
him.
An attack was made upon the home
OF Dr. Christie, principal of st. PauI's
Institute. at Tarsus, in August, 1895. A
defenseless servant and several students
were attacked by the mob Through the
intervention of the United States consul
at Beirut and the consular agent al
Mersine an investigation was begun.
Men who We're clearly guilty of the as
sault were dismissed. Dr. Christie
called upon the United States to redress
his wrongs, and the Marblehead WIS
sent TO Mersine and through the pres
ence Of the waTship eight offenders

Agricultural Development.

Every railroad in the country years
ago come to the conclusion that a dollar
spent in the development of the country
through which it passed added a dollar
to the value OF the system. and this idea
has been followed for all it has been
worth. The Western lines with their
great grants of land from Congress spent
millions TO get people to settle along
their tracks. They built towns, and. in
fact, did more TO upbuild the country
than any other agency. OF late years,
however, they have been allowing the
system 10 die out. Immigrants are going
West of their own accord. and there are
few lines that are not making money.
All that is necessary now is to wait for
the country to grow. The Southern rail-
roads, however, have taken up the sys-
tenn recently and they are booming the
land for all IT is worth. This accounts
to great extent for the remarkable
growth along the lines of the Southern,
the Seaboard Air Line, the Atlantic
Coast Line. the Norfolk and Western.
and the Chesapeake and Ohio.
1t is the latter system which has prac-
ticaliy made the territory around Hamp-
ton Roads.
1t is estimated that the Southern lines
are spending several million dollars a
year on their agricultural and Industrial

Some Unsettled Questions.

Should. however, the American ship In

which case any police magistrate is
competent to deal with the affair.
