NOT PART OF UNITED STATES.
Laws Of This Country Not Applicable
to Canal Zone.

washington, Dec. 2S.In an opinion
rendered by Frank L. Campbell, as
sistant attorney general for the inte-
rior department, it is held that the
laws of the United States are not ap-
plfeable to the Panama canal zone.
The canal zone is described in the
opinion as not being an organized
territory of the United States and
the assistant attorney general holds
that there is no provision in the treaty
with Panama or the laws or regula-
ttions making the laws of the United
States generally applicable.
The question at issue was whether
or not the patent or trade mark law
extended to the canal zone This, it
is held, is not the case, the opinion
taking in the whole subject of the ap-
plication of the laws of the United
States generally to the canal zone
