The riot has led to a discussion
of the rights of foreigners in Shang-
hal. The French have maintained
for years that they at least have a
concession" of mile square from
the Chinese government, and that
they have full control over all per-
sons, including Chinese, within that
concession. Their authority oven
the Chinese, however, is exercised
in a mixed court. presided over by
a French and Chinese Judge. The
English have never quite claimed
that they had a concession from
China, but they have claimed a mile
square of territory as a British
settlement" and maintain that le-
gaHy they have supreme authority
over this. The French and the
English have been eager that the
Americans should claim an adjoin-

But both the American and the
German assessors had decided in
previous cases according to I'M

the matter in favor of the Chinese
view. AS a conflict Of opinion de-
veloped. the matter was referred
to Pekin; anr the American and
German view was sustained by the
ministers there.
The Chinese at once took advan-
tage of the loss of prestige by the
English and demanded the dis
charge Of the British assessor, Mr..
Twyman, and Of the police officers
who omeyed his order. At this
point the Americans and Germans
refused to aecede to the Chinese
demand on the ground that a Judge

1t was to enforce the Chinese de-

resorted to this new instrument, the
boycott, and ordered all Chinese

Mayer has just graduated in law
and become her husbands partner.
And here is the story Of 1t.
Mayer was a clerk in the Russia
consul's office In Warsaw when he
won his wife, 25 years ago. The
ukase OF Alexander III later made
things unpleasant for Jews in Rus

Mayors took up their residence

The young man studied law, and

ford's send article written express

ton in China.)
SHANGHAI, China, April BY
a very wise exercise of his Ameri-
can love for fair dealing on the
part of Hon. Jas. l.. Rodgers, our
consul general at Shanghai, and by
a serious blunder of the English,
the wrath of the Chinese has
changed from ourselves to our cou-
sins across the sea.
A Mrs. Lii, whose husband, until
his death last summer, was small
official in the SZechuen province,
was on her way from Chungking,
the leading port of that province, to
Cantan. She brought with her the
effects of her late husband in Z,
hundred boxes of goods. and some
Is girls whom she represented to
be her personal servants.
While she was at Shanghai a
telegram was sent down the river
to some women engaged in hui
manitarian work at Shanghai, ex-
pressing the belief that the girls
had been kidnapped and were being
taken either to Shanghai or Can
ton to be sold for immoral pur-
poses. Unfortunately, buying and
selling girls for any purpose is le-
gal in China; but kidnapping Is IL
legal.
On the complaint Of these Eng
lish women, Mrs. Ii was arrested.
The law provides for the trial of
foreigners. of whom there are A.
600. In foreign court, and for the
trial Of the Chinese, of whom there
are some 100000 in the settlement,
in a native court. presided over by
a Chinese magistrate with a person
designated by one of the foreign
consuls sitting as assessor or as
sistant judge. All foreign prisoners
are sent to the municipal or for.
eign Jail; and all Chinese prison
ers are sent to the Chinese Jail.
On Mrs. Lii being brought I'D for
trial next day. the British assessor
thought the occasion an opportune
one for extending the authority of
the foreigners over the Chinese.
and he ordered the woman remand
ed to the municipal Jail.
The Chinese magistrate, who is
supposedly higher In authority in
this native court than the foreign
assessor, ordered the woman taken
to the Chinese Jail for women.
A conflict arose between the Chi.
nese constables and the municipal
police over the disposition of the
woman, and in this conflict the Chi.
nese Judge had his official robe
torn. This indignity upon the Chi
nese official was regarded very
much as the tearing of the Ameri.
