no question of the right of any
government to take such a step:
that it is not a matter for argu-
ment. and that the American gov
ernment can open it's consulate at
Newcastle or leave 1t closed for
ever. as it sees fit.
The point of distinction is that
the American government does not
undertake 10 question the right of
the British government. or any
other government. to cancel and
withdraw the recognition of any
foreign diplomatic or consular Of
ficer that it wishes to.
There is certainly no question con-
cerning international custom on
that point. There are cases where
diplomatic representative was
withdrawn because he was not So
cially acceptable to the government
to which he was accredited.
Only recently a certain govern
ment was given to understand that
its diplomatic representative was
no longer desired. The diplomat
found it convenient to go away for
a rest, and after while physicians
found his health such that he could
not return to his post.

J. E. Stone Resents Alleged Insult to
Wife and Gets Into Court

1t required more than one hour
to complete the case of j. E.
Stone, of this city, charged with
choking and throwing down one
p. C.. Duncan, a clerk in the en-
ploy of Koontz-Denton Ladies'
Clothing Establishment, on Fay
etteville street. And Stone plead
guilty at that.
1t seems that Mrs. Stone and
her mother, Mrs. Sasser had
come into the store to see about
getting a dress exchanged. There
was some difference of opinion
between them and Duncan and
he is said to have offered to re-
turn the money for the dress to
Mrs. Sasser if Mrs. Stone would
apologize "for her impudent
manner" to him, Duncan. Mrs.
Stone testified that she told Dun
can she was sorry if she had hurt
his feelings, but Duncan said,
mo, your heart isn't in it,
Mrs. Stone went home and told
her husband. He went up to the
store Tuesday after Easter and
demanded an apology from Dun
can. When the apology was not
forthcoming he proceeded to mop
up the floor with the clerk, much
to the CONSERVATION and distress
of the lady customers.
II didn't hit him with my right
hand," said Stone, Il was
afraid | might break his neck"
This was the first unpleasant
incident in all my ready-to-wear
experience" testified Duncan.
j. W. Bailey, representing
Stone, secured a moral victory
for the defense in cross.question-
ing Duncan, but Judge Harris de-
cided that if a man takes the
law into his hands he must at the
same time be willing to pay the
costs. Stone was fined SIS and
