CONSULAR YoN-IMMUNITY

chiefly from the offence, rather than 1rom ule
punishment for It. The vice-consul is reported
to have protested against his arrest Oh 'Ie

that we must think he was wrong. 1t may Dc
that the procedure against him should nave
taken some other form, or have been IN soue
other court but the plea Of entire immunity
from any action will surely not hold.
OF the immunity Of ambassadors, ministers
and other diplomatic representatives there Gun
be no doubt Their immunity extends to all De
partments of local jurisdiction, both civil anu
criminal. and is enjoyed not only by them' Out
bv their families and suites, their secretaries
and servants. their domiciles and their NOV
able nroperty Consuls however have no such
status and enjoy no such immunity. The policy
Of our government was clearly stated by MI
CLAYTON. Secretary of State, in 1S49, to the ef-
feet that "a foreign consul is liable to be pun
'ished to the same extent as other foreign resi-
dents for a criminal violation Of the local law
"of the country in which he resides" Later
decisions of courts and of the State Department
have been to the effect that suits against con-
sus can be prosecuted only in the federal
courts according to Article III, Sections 2 and
g. Of the Constitution. Foreign consuls in the
United States are entitled to no immunities not
possessed by foreigners coming into this coun-
TRY in private capacity, except that of being
sued and prosecuted exclusively in the federal
courts" q Opr 725, Butler, 1885, And again:
Foreign consuls are subject to criminal process
for the violation of the municipal laws" q Op
367, Gushing. 1859 This ruling of the United
States authorities exactly agrees with the stand
ard authorities on international law Thus
Wheaton holds that lin civil and criminal cases
they Iconsulsl are subject to the local law in
"the same manner with other foreign residents
owing temporary allegiance to the state"
and Hall adds that a consul, as a general rule
lis subjected to the laws of the country in
which he lives to the same extent as persons
who are o. like status with himself in all points
except that Of holding the consular Office"
That 10 TO say. the consular office invests him
with NO exceptional immunity.
The only question in Prince Engalitchefr,s
case would therefore seem to have been whether
for defiance Of the police power OF the munich
patty, he was accountable TO the ordinary notice
tribunal or only TO the federal courts. district
circuit or supreme. OF his amenabilitv and Tho
amenabilfEy of all consular officers to some
American tribunal there appears to he no
question.

pRoFJTABLE STATE FORESTRY.

The President is to be heartily commended
for the strong and aggressive stand he has
taken In favor Of maintaining and extending
the various national forest preserves. He has
taken this stand in the face Of the opposition
OF powerful interests, some OF which find
spokesmen in Senators, Representatives and
Governors. but he is right and he is right in
believing that his policy is for the good Of
the whole people and is cordially approved by
the masses of the people
Much of the i'll advised opposition to national
and State forest conservation appears to pro-
coed from the curious notion that forests are
ornamental rather than useful, that their chief
,,urnoge Is an aesthetic a pleasure seeking
nc snd that from the practical and pecuniary
,,oinf of view they are just so much dead loss

An extraordinary instance OF rustic superstition

Owing TO sinister rumors as to the cause of death

When n County Votes Out the
Dispensary it Must Stay Out
for Four Years

Special to News and Courier
Columbia, July 9.-Thc point
has been raised as to how long the
counties that vote out dispensa-
ries will remain "dry' in legal
way when the dispensary is voted
out.
1t appears that the law is that if
an election is held to vote out
the dispensary and fails it cannot
be tried again for four years, and
the Gispensary remains for four
years. The conntcr proposition
also holds. If an election i held,
and the dlspensary Is voted out Of
county it cannot be voted back
into the county for four years, in
fact, no election can be held.
There may, however. bc a
change in the statue law, bunt
under the Bricc bill as it now
stands on election every four years
is all that can be held

.0 FURTHER TRACE
 OF HYSTER|CAL FIT
Speculative Holders Seem to
 Have Recovered Composure
UNION PACIFIC IS PUSHED
Assumption of Control of Tennessee Causes Sharp Break-Chcago Bank Failure Relegated
 to the Rear.

New York, December 19.-There was no further trace in the stock market today of yesterdays hysterical fit over the, Chicago bank failures. Speculative hold CTS who had been swept off their feet seemed to have their composure restored or to have given place to other holders of firm determination. It was asserted in fact that the shaking out of weak security holders by yesterdays sudden slump had benefited the market There was evidence also of some requirements to cover shorts which presumably were the after results of yesterdays attack on the market. Such hesitation and uneer- tainty as were manifest in the market were traceable to conditions normal to the closing period, and to the days develop ment. However, there was distinct re- yival of aggressive bullish spirit in the market. and many striking advances were recorded. although the dealings were highly congested in few stocks.
 Union Pacific was the backbone of the speculation and was pushed up by seemingly endless buying to a new rec ord price. The brokers employed in this buying made an occasion for rumors that the principal competitive transcontinental interest was seeking effective representa- ton Al Union Pacific. There was sharp advances in the northwestern Pacifics. For the most part the days notable move ments were elsewhere than in the rail- road list. The rather unexpected assump- ton of control of Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company by the new pur- chasers seemed to arouse apprehension that the competition in the buying, which has made the high level for the stock, might be considered to be ended. A sharp break resulted.
 The marking up of Amalgamated Copper to par again had a strengthening effect on the general list. Adverse factors which were feared failed to make their appear ance, and the speculation was thus en- couraged to push its efforts.
 Money was quotably easier both on hand and on time, notwithstanding some
