"Stupid' Charge, He Says.
Stupid said L. B. Cordeau. presi-

A. Cannon, chairman of the legislative

CHINESE CHARGES
Official Answer Made to
Claim That Consular Courts
Are 0pen to Corruption.
r. the Associated Press

b. the Associated Press
PEkING. October 10.-Charges by
the Chinese ministry of justice that
foreign consuls in China possessing
judicial power are open to corrup
ton and that foreigners who wound
and kill Chinese not only go unpunish
ed, but are shielded in every way.
have created an unpleasant diplomatic
incident and drawn an emphatic pro
test from the diplomatic corps
The ministry of Justice caused the
publication of the following statement
in the official Gazette of September 26
IF cause is sought for the Shanghai
affair tthe shooting of several Chinese
demonstrators by police of the inter.
national settlement on May 30). which
violated the Canons of humanity. and
the subsequent incidents at Hankow
and Shameen. it will be found that
these occurrences had their root in
the evil of consular jurisdiction. -
THAT slayer shall- die is a prin.
ciple held in common by Chinese and
foreign ideas. but foreign consuls who
possess judicial power are open to
corruption and in consequence foreign
ers who wound and kill Chinese not
only go unpunished. but are shielded
In every way. This amounts to u
premium put on murder. Unless,
therefore. the jurisdiction. of. these
foreigners * recovered the situation
is frauGht with grave dangers,
Concerning this publication. W. J.
Dudendijk, the Dutch minister. who is
dean Of the diplomatic corps, wrote to
the foreign office as follows: q.
1T seems almost inconceivable that
the high authority of any government
-,luuld countenance the use of such
n.gaiy insulting language regarding
she officials of friendlN powers. The
diplomatic corps feel constrained not
only to protest emphatically but also
to give expression tosa painful sG''
prise that the ministry Of justice has
seen fit on the eve of the inquiry inte
the question of extra territoriality, to
give evidence of a disposition to, base
the Chinese case upon gross mis-
representations and reflections upon
the integrity of the consular officials
of the friendly powers"

While prohibition agents of the
Washington unit were destroying
two 0-gallon stills in the 400
block, South High street, Balti-
more, yesterday, a large crowd
which gathered, cut to ribbons the
tires on the agents machine.
During the raid, a false alarm
brought several pieces of fire
apparatus and the emergency car
of the gas company with a lung
motor 1t IL believed the crowd
sent in the alarm to divert atten-
ton while the tires were being cut.
Four men ran from the two sup.
posedly empty houses when the
agents drove up.
- The car belonged to William c..
Bracco, a colored auto renting
agent, of Baltimore. He must stand
the loss for the tires, since In
renting ears the Government
assumes no such responsibility.
