ing the government in the return OF
S7,000,000 worth of property to the

1t is rumored that Miller will APP

Miller will make the appeal at once

firm or deny anything that a news

any material for his paper" Mellon
is quoted as saying apropos Of the
report that he would support Hoover
for president.
Few will object because Mellon
chopped up an infinitive, Ii he did,
but it appears that he either knows
very little about the newspaper busi--
ness or was just trying to be smart,
or both. Probably every newspaper
man in Washington has Wads CT
material for his paper and his paper
has wadS of other material for which
it has no room, although Mellon
doubtless remarks sometimes will;
other uninformed persons that "the
papers must be hard up for some

which way the cagey Mellon eventu-
ally will Jump is your correspondent.
It looks as if Mellon were among
them, too On information and be-
lief, it can be suggested That as Il
matter of mere personal choice he
would flop to Dawes, But one cah
hardly flop to Dawes when Dawes
Douglas daily dispatch., 1928-01-28

has flopped, for the pre-convention
period at least, to Lowden. And it
must have occurred to Mellon, who
was cnce all set for temporary
flop to Hughes, that careless flop
might conceivably still find hlm
floundering about on ali fours while
the real procession passed by, for
it is quite possible that Hoover's
procession will be the only one to
count
Perhaps Mellon believes that it's
likely to turn out that way. If he
has, and still isn't quite sure abouC
it, the smart political trick is to
remain technically neutral and let
the word seep into the Hoover camp
that Melons heart is in the right
spot.
Unless Mellon were feverishly
anxious to push Hoover into the
White House, there. would be nothing
tc be gained by public announce
ment at this time. One of the
funniest thoughts in connection with
Melons attitude is the possibility that
he may have to consult Boss Bill
Ware of Philadelphia before he can
come out for anyone. Boss Ware
and his gang licked the Mellon
political outfit in Pennsylvania at
the last election and he consequently
seems very essential to any of
Melons political plans. Somebody
ought to find out what Boss Ware
is thinking.

BRITISH PLAN TO CURTAH
IMMUNITY OF DIPLOMATS
Steps Considered to Bring Antique Priivi-
lege Into Line With Modern
Craftsmanship

LONDON (P).-Great Britain will
probably soon take the world leadership
in curtailing the diplomatic immunity
which cloaks the person. family and en-
tcurage of Ambassadors and renders
them safe from prosecution in civil or
criminal courts.
The question is now engaging the at
tention of the foreign Office and an i'm
portant pronouncement of policy bring
ing the antique priivlegs into line with
modern practice and thought is expected
in the near future.
1t is fitting that England should take
the lead in remodeling q custom which
she herself instituted 200 years ago. AT
that time the Russian Amba ssador tc
England was dragged out of his carriage
by some Londoners who demanded that
he pay a $3.50 debt that was ri9htfully
owing. Peter the Great. who was then
Gar of Russia, Indignantly demanded
that the Englishmen be hanged. Parlia
ment, however, compromised by passing
an act comforting upon Amba ssa Gors
and their staffs immunity from being
sued in English courts, arrested, i'm
priSoned or having their personal or real
property diStrained. A clause was added
whereby any British subject who mo-
Tested foreign Ambassador or his
servants should be subject to fine i'm
prisonment or corporal punishment.
This theory of immunity Of diplomats
was picked up by nearly every other ma =
ton in the world. In later years it has
led to much friction with local govern
ments. Ambassadors. as a rule. behave
with much greater respect for local laws

than the ancient custom demands. but
sometimes their servants show greater
zsal for availing themselves of diplo-
matte privileges than the Ambassadors
themselves
Ambassadors of three great nations
have recently been involved in local in
cidents wherein diplomatic immunity
prevailed

England, were both involved in motor
ing accidents in the countries to which
they are accredited. In Mr.. Houghton's
case, an embassy automobile driven by
an English chauffeur on the streets of
London struck boy riding a bicycle
Diplomatic immunity prevented the
mother of the boy from getting salts

ton or the insurance company which

ton; automobile. In Sir Esme's case.
his automobile, driven by his l4-year-
old son. knocked down a l2-year -old
girl on the streets of Washington. Sir
Esme Immediately placed his family
surgeon and an embassy automobile at
the disposal of the little girl. who was
only slightly injured The little girls
parents did not even consider any legal
action, but. if they had Sir Esme would
have been immune.
The Marquis de Merry del Val. Span
ish Ambassador to Great Britain and
a brother of Cardinal Merry del Val,
papal secretary of state, was called
upon to pay damages when Spanish
embassy automobile upset on the streets
of London motor cycle and side car
in which man. his wife and 4-year-
old daughter we're riding. The marquis
declined and placed the blame on the
driver of the motor cycle. He could
not be sued.
These incidents are trivial. but they
illustrate the point that Ambassadors
now are considered law unto thme-
selves. Leading British newspapers
have been citing such Incidents to
show why Ambassadors should be sub
ject to court action the same as ordi-
nary citizens.
Drunken Cook Escapes.
A cook belonging to foreign embassy
in London was arrested on a charge OF
drunkenness and brought to the Mary
lebone Police Court. He successfully
pleaded his diplomatic right to get
drunk as lord or drunken.
Section 3 of the diplomatic privileges
act says that an Ambassador lis entitled
to complete immunity from the juris-
diction of the local courts except in
cases where he submits or invites the
jurisdiction of those courts"
Under the present law foreign en-
bassy is the territory of the nation
whose flag it flies. The Kings laws do

to entry and search.
