The Government Of the United States
must again insist with emphasis that
the British and French Government do
not obtain rightful Jurisdiction of ships
by forcing or inducing them 10 visit
their ports for the purpose OF seizing
their mails. or thereby obtain greater
helligerent rights as to such ships than
they could exercise on the high seas;
Tor there is. in the opinion of the Gov
ernment of the United States. no legal
distinction between the seizure of mails
AT sea, which is announced as aban-
doned. and their seizure from vessels
voluntarily or inyoluntarily in port.
THE British and French practice
amounts to an unwarranted limitation
on the use by neutrals OF the worlds
highway for the transmission of corre-
%spondence. The practice actually fol-
lowed by the Allied Powers must be
said to justify the conclusion. there
fore, that the announcement of February
Is was merely notice that one illegal
practice had been abandoned to make
place for the development OF another
more onerous and veXatious in charac-
ter.
THE present practice Is n violation
not only of the spirit of the announce
mcnt Of February Is, but Of the rule
OF the Hague convention, upon which
II Is concedcdly based. Aside from this
!, is a violation of the prior practice Of
nations which Great Britain and her
allies have in the past assisted to es-
tablish and maintain. Notwithstanding
the statement in the memorandum that
AS late as 1907 the letters and dispatches
themselves could be seized and contis-

"During III. war between the United
States and Mexico the United States
forces allowed British steamers to enter
and depart from the port Of Vera Cruz
without molesting the mails intended
for inland points, During the Ameri-
can civil war Lord Russell endclvored TO
induce the United States to concede that
her Majesty's mails on board a private
vessel should be exempted from vista
ton or detention
"This exemption OF mails was urged
IN October. 1852. in the case Of British
mails on board the Adela. On October
81 Secretary Seward announced that
public mails of any friendly or neutral
Power, duly certified or authenticated
az such, shall not be searched or opened.
but be put as speedily as may be con-
venient on the way to their designated
destination In accordance with this
announcement the Government of the
United states in the case OF the British
stea mship Peterhoff. which had been
seized with her mails against the pro-
test OF her Maiesty's Government. had

THE same rule was ollowed by

The first thing Mr.. Hilles did. accord

freight elevator TO his suite in the Con-
gress Hotel to prevent his presence being
known, next TO lock the door OF his
phone. Since his presence became known
he has declined to see those who have
been patiently awaiting his advent.
He's lodging about 30. 600 people who
have written him hat they would like

State Examiner Reports.

In a report on the inspection of
Grant county offices, State Inspector
and Examiner Nat B. Sewell took &C.
casion to severely criticize County
Judge T. Simmons, who is serving his
third term and submitted one copy of
his report to Attorney General M. M.
Logan with a recommendation that it
be called to the attention of the Com
monwealth's Attorney. Mr.. Sewell
said the office records are so incom-
plete that a thorough report on the
condition is impossible, but from an
incomplete record of replevin bonds
he holds Judge Simmons liable to the
Commonwealth for 1881, which
Judge Simmons declined to pay, and
Mr.. Sewell recommends to the Attor-
ney General that steps be taken to col
lect the amount.

In Illinois, 81 per cent report that their

past season. OF the remaining 43 per
cent. the average number Of days their

Of seven men who stated their ma
chimes were out of commission nearly
all the time and one who said half the

THE reports of tractor owners indi-
cate that with careful and proficient
operator gas tractor is very de-
pendable source of power; occasional
slight delays probably will be encount-
cred, but serious ones will be excep-
tional. With a careless or incompetent
operator, serious delays are apt to be
frequent.
about 80 per cent of tractors in ILL
nois are operated by the owner or
some member of his family. The re-
ports of these men show that an aver.

ty, and Thomas Logan, of Hopkins
county, held in an opinion by Commits
sioner Clay that sheriffs are entitled
to 10 cents mileage both ways for con-
veying convicts to prison.
Three criminal cases we're affirmed
by the court Of appeals and one was
reversed. w. T. Johnston, convicted
in Fulton county Of aiding and abet-
ting his nephew, Lonnie Johnston, al
legged to have shot and killed Chester
Stowe last January at w. T. John
ston's home, secured a reversal be-
cause the trial court charged the jury
as to the offense. of manslaughter,
when the evidence pointed either to
deliberate homicide or innocence.
Martin Knight, convicted in Mullen
berg as 'possum hunter" must serve
term of one to three years. He was
member of the band which visited
the home of w. H. Chumley the night
of July 6, 1914. Lucian Cornett, of

uor in his possession for the purpose
Of sale, was fined 500 and sentenced
to forty days in Jail. The court of APP
peals in an opinion by Chief Justice
Miller, affirmed the verdict.
