IMMUNITY OF AN

Disagreeablc Incident at the Berlin
Instructed To Preserve IL.

Washington July 2O.-While 1t has
long been understood that interna-
tlonal customs guarantees an ambas-
sador against arrest, case which in
VOWED immunity Of several OF his
household developed at the American
embassy in Berlin not long ago 1t
ended by the ambassador being in
struCted TO preserve the immunity Of
the embassy and TO see that the service
of the papers upon the servant took
place outside It's precincts.
A porter at the embassy, II seems,
answered the ring Of n tax collector
who did not know he was at the en-
bsssy The porter chided the Official
for his ignorance in seeking taxes at
the home of "A diplomatic agent. The
argument which developed was not
without neat and when 81 seemed to
be at its height, n member Of the am
baEssdor household wished 10 pass the
disputants.
The tax collector protesting that he
WAS an OFFICIAL, fefuS,sd 10 stand aide.
The report 10 the state department
says the men engaged IN an uncivii
conversation Of no Importance" which
resulted In the tax collector seeking
the arrest OF the porter for personal
insult. The German foreign Office then
asked the ambassador TO serve the
porter.
The two governments attempted to
effect compromise, the German for
eign office suggesting that the tax
collectors would receive an apology and
the American ambassador suggesting
his porter would make one. The COM
mittee met and instead OF apologizing
there was further alteration neither
being willing TO Yield dignity. The
whole business was finally closed up
when the porter went outside the EN-
bassy grounds and accepted service.
The report does not say how the court
