TAKES UP RUM CASES
Difficult Questions of International
Law Involved in Some of
the Disputes.

Rum-running cases affecting Cana

way to the new Canadian legation
here.
Formerly they were dealt with by
the British embassy, which will dis

the Canadian legation opened. Others
are being turned over to Vincent Mas.
sey, the Canadian Minister, and his
staff. at the discretion of the depart

Some Of the cases involve difficult

carried a part cargo of liquor.
There are several such cases pend
