WRITS TO SET PRECEDENT.
Counsel Also Demand Privilege to
Confer With Prisoners-Would
Learn Evidence of Prosecution.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
UNION CITY. Tenn, November THE
legal controversy over the night rider
situation, which bids fair to occupy the
courts of the state, and, perhaps, of the
nation for months or years to come, was
opened here today with the beginning of
the arguments Of counsel upon the appli-
cations for writs Of habeas corpus.
Eleven of fifty or more prisoners now
detained on charges in connection with the
recent night rider activities In this dis
trict were brought to Union City yes
Judge Jones today:
"They are illegally restrained: they
were arrested without civil process; they
are denied the right of conference with
their attorneys, and Gov. Patterson'S ac-
ton In calling out the troops was con-
trary to the constitution which pro-
vides, they assert, that the governor, as
commander-in-chief of the militia. shall
only order out troops in case of armed in
vasion or rebellion and then only when
authorized by the legislature"
Counsel for the state. in reply, main
tanned that the governor ''is not COM
mander- r-in-chief of the militia, but Of the
army; that the army was called into
service on application of the sheriff. on
the ground that the power of the country
was not sufficient to enable him to exc
cute capiases'' upon so many persons,
and to arrest and hold so many prisoners
and that they are held pending the in
vestigation by the grand jury now in ses-
sion
BY agreement of counsel it was decided
that the attorneys for the eleven prison
ers in court should be allowed to confer
with their clients separately in the pres
ence Of. but not within hearing of. the
soldiers guarding the prisoners.
The decision of Judge Jones in the
case will set a precedent in Tennessee
The object of the habeas corpus proceed
ings is to force the state to show the
evidence on which the prisoners are held
for accused with their clients.
The cases involve the governors right
to call out the military. Should the de-
cision release the prisoners, they will be
Immediately rearrested on civil warrants

PARIS. November THE publication
Of the following statement was authorized
today:
France remains entirely conciliatory.
We do not desire to hold to the strict in
depreciation of words We are willing to
make any concession in the matter OF the
formula suggested by US that Germany
deems necessary to save appearances. pro-
vided this does not prejudice the case or
involve direct or indirect censure of the
action Of our officers and soldiers at Casa
Blanca. who we are convinced, are in the
right On this point the government Is
backed by the unanimous opinion Of the
press and parliament. The country is
unanimous also in the belief that any
other course would be unworthy the ma
tional dignity. and mean the immediate
fall of the government
Russia and Great Britain. with whom
we are having daily exchanges, fully
support our attitude"
AS another proof Of its desire to avoid
envenomfng the situation, the French gov
ernment has decided to withhold publica-
ton Of the report of the police investiga-
tion at Casa Blanca, because It believes
that this 80 completely justities the French
attitude that to give it out would result
in infiaming public opinion against Ger
many. 1t has turned out that one or the
three supposed German deserters is a nat
uralized French subject.
Germany Refused at First.
Germany 1t was learned here today, at
first refused to accept the formula pro-
posed by France for a settlement of the
Casa Blanca incident proposing at the
same time certain notifications therein.
These were rejected by France in her
turn. after which Germany declined to re-
examine the formula.
Last night Herr Won Schoen, the Ger
man foreign secretary. informed Ambas-
sador Cambon that the French formula
was satisfactory provided a clause was
added in which France expressed her re-
gret for the violence committed on the
person of the German consular attache,
Germany at the same time to express re-
gret that the German consul had exceed
ed his powers In offering protection to de-
serters from the foreign legion of the
French army who were not German
subjects. Ambassador Cambon politely
but firmly declined to transmit such a
proposition to Paris, explaining that his
instructions did not permit him to receive
any proposition involving censure of the
French action. Herr Won Schoen there
upon agreed again to examine the French
formula. The final response from Ger
many Is not expected before next Tues
day.

Count Won Bernstorff to Be
German Ambassador.
HAS AN AMERICAN WIFE
Experienced Diplomat at Present
Minister to Egypt.
HIGH IN OFFICIAL FAVOR
Speaks English Perfectly and Has a
Reputation as After-din-
ner Speaker.

BERLIN, November Count Johann
Heinrich Won Bernstorff, who recently has
represented the German government in
Egypt. has been selected by Emperor VIII
liam to succeed the late Baron Speck Won
Sternburg as ambassador to America.
Countess Won Bernstorf is daughter OF
Edward Luckemeyer of New York. The
appointment has not yet been made form
ally, but it is understood that an off1cia.
announcement will be given out within
two or three days.
Count Won Bernstorff was assigned late
ly to Egypt. He was first diplomatic
agent and consul general at Cairo, but
was raised to the rank of minister pleni-
potentiary early in 1905 He is the fourth
son of Count Albrecht Won Bernstorf
who was a distinguished contemporary of
Bismarck, and he was born in London in
1862 while his father was German ambas-
sador to the court of st. James.
The new ambassador began his diplo-
matte career i'm 1899, when he was made
attache at Constantinople. From Turkey
he was transferred to the foreign Office In
Berlin, after which he advanced from one
grade to another, serving in Belgrade.
Dresden, ST. Petersburg and Munich. He
was councillor of the embassy and first
secretary in London in 1902.
Enjoys ha1Ser'S FaVOr.
While in England the count came espe-
cially under the notice of Emperor Will
liam as a result of his work in amelor-
ating the existing illfeeling against Ger
many. He drew up q series of lucid and
comprehensive dispatches on the situation.
After four years service in London he
was sent to Cairo. In the German diplo-
matte service this post is regarded as a
stepping stone toward advancement.
The count married Miss Jennie Lucke-
meyer in 1887. His wife was born De-
cember 13, 1867, and the couple have two
children. The Luckemeyer family left
New York several years ago and settled
In France. where the countess father died
this year
Count Ernst'von Bernstorff, the found
er of the collateral branch of the family,
also had an American wife. He was mar
mied in 1901 to Amerika Riedesel, Baron
ess Zu Eisenbach, who was born in New
York. Count Won Bernstorff's daughter,
Alexandra, is twenty years old and came
out socially in Cairo two seasons ago. A
son, Christian, seventeen years old, is now
at school
A Master Of English.
The new ambassador is a man above
middle height, of slight figure and wears
q blond mustache. His knowledge of Eng
lish is well nigh perfect and he is known
as successful after-dinner speaker and
to be a witty conversationalist.
The count of recent years has spent his
annual leave in Germany. He attenaed
the wedding of Prince August William in
Berlin October 90 and joined his family in
Paris the following day. 1t was his pur-
pose to leave Paris for Cairo November
3, and 1t was presumed here by his
friends that he had done so.
1t is not probable that the new ambas-
sador will be able to arrange his affairs
at Cairo to arrive at Washington before
the end Of the year.

chased for $3.50, 900.

Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
Winthrop today closed the deal with
Thomas ]. Fisher & Co, real estate bro
kers, for the purchase Of site for the
new city post Office. The property was
purchased from the Baltimore aand Ohio
Railroad Company for s45O.OOO. 1t is
square CTS, and adjoins the Union station
site on the west. 1t is bounded on the
west by North Capitol street, on the
north by G street and on the south by

street will separate it from the station.
1t is understood by the Treasury Off

ned to have the largest branch office in
the District in the departmental build
ing on Pennsylvania avenue between 18th
and 18th streets northwest, to do all busi-
ness that Is now transacted with the pub

Time will be saved, it is explained, by
having the mails assorted right at the
trains. At present it is necessary to send
the outgoing mails from the various
branch offices TO the main office, and after
they are handled there to send them to
the trains This is all done by wagons.
Under the new arrangement the mails will
go right to the station from the branch
offices.
The site of the new post office is at
present occupied by a warehouse which
