Carson Not Likely

Sir Edward Carson, of Belfast. who

to resist by force OF arms any attempt

academic interest. the correspondent
consulted prominent barrster on the
question of what law, if any, covered
Carson's outbreak. Here ID his
opinion:
THE laws under which Carson is
just as liable as the countess Markie-
wicz are the ordinary treason law and
the defense of the realm ATT As to
the first, the levying of wal against
the king is. of course. one of the

king standing not only for himself.
but for the state, The authorities are
clear on the point that actual fighting
is not necessary TO establish treason.
Enlisting aud marching are sufficient
to establish treason without actual
battle with the kings forces
The Ulster volunteers number tens
OF thousands, and they are partic ularly
fond of marching. But where the
accused has been aiding and abetting
the kings enemies--and such is the
case OF Sir Edward-the charge of
high treason carrying with 1t the death
penalty is obsolete and modern prac-
tice under the treason felony act of

This act reads:
1t Is treason felony to compass

levy war against his majesty within
any part OF the United Kingdom In
order to force or constraint to compel
him to change his measures or coun-
sells, or in order to put any force or

The president. In his talk with thu

upon The difficulties which attended,
the settlements at the peace confef-
ence. He explained that many OF the
details were the result Of compromise
and that. unless there had been yield

ton of the treaty would have been
impossible.

Shantung decision. which has aroused
so much bitterness In the senate. and

which the settlement was made

Rejection Threatens to Result

Keswick. England, July 17.-By an
overwhelming vote the miners fede-
ration at its conference here late to-
day rejected the compromise plan Of
fered by Andrew Bonar Law which
provided for holding up the increase
in the price of coal on condition that
the miners increase the output ma
terially, and would not strike for
three months

Auckland Geddes announced in Com
mons last week an increase of six shil-

ensued in which the miners spokes-
men charged this was a political trick
to throw the onus OF inevitable in

cation OF the mines, they asserted, was
the only solution. and the govern
