Huckster Convicted of Manslaughter
Also Must Pay Fine
of $500.

Special Correspondence of The Star
ROCKVILLE, Nd, April Evil
liam O. Soper. a huckster of Cedar
Grove. Montgomery county, was SEN
fenced to pay fine of $500 and to
serve three months in the Rockville
Jail today by Judge Peter in the cir
cult court here today on a charge of
manslaughter.
Soper was convicted by jury Sat
urday of causing the death of j. Harry
Latimer of Friendship Heights last No
vember when he ran down Mr. Lati-
ner with a motor truck on the Rock
vile pike.
Before the sentence was passed At
torney John A. Garrett appealed to the
court to be lenient with Soper. A
signed petition from residents in the
section of Cedar Grove was also pre-
sented to the court asking for mercy.
The jury which convicted him made a
similar recommendation.
In passing sentence Judge Peter sa id
the pleas for mercy had some weight
in the imposing of sentence but de-
clared that he did not believe simply
fine ought to be imposed. He said
1t was not so much as a punishment
for Soper, but that operators of vehicles
must be led to understand that thew
must exercise care in the operation of
vehicles on public highways.

is as follows:
His majesty's government has given
the most careful consideration to the
memorandum which your eXcellency
was good enough to communicate to
me on the 24th ultimo. conveying a
protest from the United States govern
ment against the removal of thirty
eight enemy subjects by his majesty s
ship Laurentic from the steamship
China on the high seas off the entrance
to the YangtZe river. and ] now have
the honor TO offer the following OBJ
servations as an expression OF the
views of his ma jestys government In
regard to the matter.
The latest attempt to define by com
mon agreement the limits within which
a bel1igerent naval power may remove
enemy persons from neutral ships on
the high seas is represented by article
AZ of the declaration Of London, 1909:
This article permitted the arrest of
such persons if embodied in the armed
forces of the enemy without regard to
the destination of the ship on which they
were found travelling. The commentary OIL
article AS of the declaration contained
in the report of the drafting committee
of the London naval conference states
that on practical, not legal. grounds 1t
was agreed that the term embodied
in the armed forces of the enemy
should be considered as not including
reservists not yet attached to their
military units.
