TO Be JUDGE IN CHINA
L. E. Whitley Will Be Head OF First
United States Court.

Washington (SpeciaD-Judge Leb-
beus E. Whitley, of st. Louis, who has
been appointed by the President to
be the first Judge of the newly crea-
ted consular court in China, is in the
city preparing to depart upon MS
mission. He expects to sail from
San Francisco on the Korea Novem-
Der 20 with Consul-General Rogers,
who is stationed at Shanghai. He is
greatly interested in his coming
work, having fitted himself for 1t
in a way by serving as Attorney
General of the Philippines.
81 look forward with interest to
my work in China he says. THE
necessity for a court for the protec-
ton of Americans in China has long
been apparent. This court will have
Jurisdiction, over all commercial and
civil proceedings, and by virtue OF
treaty between the United States and
China, the right to appeal to the
higher courts of this country. Inc
personnel of the court will be judge
appointed by the President for 10
years, a district attorney, clerk
and a marshal The court will have
jurisdiction over all cases formerly
tried by the Consul General. The
headquarters of the court will be in
Shanghai, but the sessions will be
held in Canton, Hankow and Tient-
sin, at stated periods, and in such
other treaty ports as the exigencies
of the case render practicable.
1.-The establishment of court of
this character is deemed a necessity.
England has had such court for
over SO years and Germany and
France have established them lately.
These countries have found the
courts to be dS great value in pro-
tecting foreigners and extending
trade
I'm all cases the judge will be the
one to try the law and the facts. All
trials will be public and will be held
in the building of the American Con-
sul-General If an American should
be found guilty of murder the mar
shall has authority to erect a scaffold
and hang the offender. Jails will be
provided in Shanghai and all cities
where the court has jurisdiction.
