DIPLOMATS BREAK RULES TO SPEED ee (Continued from First Page.) ing responded to the initiative of the foreign Ambassadors and not sought! the conferences themselves. BREAK PRECEDENTS THAT FORCED CALL OF SACK- VILLE-WEST. Diplomacy, however, has estab- lished some severe precedents where- by it Is considered a diplomatic im- propriety of the first order for an | Ambassador or Minister aocredited anywohere to enter into communica- tion directly with the legislative branch of any government without | first obtaining the permission of the | Foreign Office or Department of State. For the mere mention of in-| ternal politics in the United Btates in a letter to a friend which subse- | ‘quently became public, Lord Sack- ville-West, British Ambassador to the United States was sent home by Pre: ident Cleveland. Similarly the Colombian Minister to the United States was a few years ago ordered home by Secretary Knox | because he said the proposed visit! of the American Secretary of State to his country probably would not be very welcome, I remember well how the late Sir Cecil Spring Rice, the British Am-| bassador here during the war, used |to complain of the activity of Count von Bernstorff, the German Am- bassador, in his “social” canferenc with members of the American Con- gress. Sir Cecil often held it to have | been a gross impropriety for the United States to permit Count von Bernstorff to stay in Washington be- cause in 1912, the latter tried to In- | fluence Senators to vote against the repeal of the Panama Canal tolls act which was favored by Great Britain, but feared by the German Foreign OMice as the beginning of too good an understanding between the United States and England. FRENCH DISAVOWED A SPEECH IN HOUSE OF DEPUTIES. It also is a fact that when Fran- cols Bouillon, Chairman of the Com- mittee on Foreign Affairs of the House of Deputies of the French Parliament was quoted in Paris news- papers and in cables to Ameriea as having advocated a direct line he- tween the French Parliament. and the Republican Party in the American Senate, the, United States Government made unofficial inquiry and satisfaction was given in the form of an official denial which, however, American corre- spondents who heard the speech took with a grain of salt. But the aituation in recent months in Washington has been one of deep anxiety for European governments. Ambassadors here could not get in touch with President Wilson. They could visit yith Secretary Lansing, but that cautious individual refused to talk about the treaty except to say !t was the President's business, Desperate because they could Ket no satisfaction at the White House, for- eign Ambassadors invited Senators to their homes and invariably through the well known medium of social oc- casions @o often used in Europe, Am- bassadors got a line on tho situation here, Strictly speaking, there is nothing {logical in their course. They saw the Senato as the powerful factor in the situation and they were being pressed from European foreign offices for accurate information as to what was happening. Moreover, they were urged to express discreetly to Ameri- can Senators the European viewpoint and do all they could to forward a compromise, HOW MUCH WILSON KNOWS NOT DISCLOSED, Just how much of this informal diplomatic negotiation has been known to the President is not definitely known yet. While persons fond of diplomatic precedent may be aston- ished at the unusual course of pro- cedure made inevitable by the con- flict between the executive and legis- lative branches of our Government, there is litte likelihood that the Department of State or White House will stand on its rights and make a fuss over what has hapened, There are those who think that out of the present series of incid-nts may come new precedents, nafnely the sending of unofficial Ambassadors or Ministers to sit in the lobbies of the United States Senate and make clear the European viewpoint. This would entitle the United States to send a commissioner or unofficial envoy to sit in the House of Commons or the French Parliament with analogous privileges, Thero are those who think !nws on the statute books of the United States will first have to be repealed before | some phases of open diplomacy— free interchange between citizens and governments, can be realized, WHAT THE LAW SAYS ABOUT INFLUENCING GOVERNMENTS, It is a question for lawyers to say, for instance, just how far the follow- ing provision of the Logan Act cov- ers the case: “If any citizen of the United States, whether actual resident or residing within the same, or in any place subject to the jurisdic- direct or indirect, commences or carries on any verbal or written correspondence or intercourse with any foreign Government or official or bo a thereof, with an intent to influence any measure of the conduct of any foreign gov- ernment or any official or agent thereof, or to it the m of the Govern States ;and if any person ocing citi of or resident witnin ti or in any subject to the jurisdiction there: of, and not duly authorized not more risoned not more than three years. The above lay specifically permits a citizen to apply to a foreign gov-! ernment to obtain redress’ for injuries sustained but nothing more. ‘The Logan act has more than once been cited by persons in official circles as applying to the present situation, but it is doubtful whether the Democratic administration would, for political reasons, make the mistake of trying to enforce it upon United States Sen- ators. Modified Cloture to fied cloture can be imposed when the peace treaty debate is resumed next week will be taken up to-morrow by The ciate Rules Cai aed if . fe mecting was called to-da; some Senators had ‘given notice ‘that unieas the committee acted there would be an attempt to initiate such a step from the Senat renee ce, HEARING ON HYLAN LIBEL SUIT LIMITED ‘Coiirt: Rules Mayor Need Not Con- strue Meaning of Letter on Schieffelin. While Mayor Hylan will have to sub- mit to an examination before trial in the $100,000 libel suit brought against him by Willlam J. Schieffelin, head of the wholesale drug firm of Schieffelin & Co., the scope of the inquiry will be Umited. Justice Platzek in an order signed to- day strikes out that part of the motion of Clarence M. Lewis of counsel for Schieffelin, in which Mayor Hylan would have had to place a construction on a letter he wrote regarding Shieffelin. ‘The Justice also forbids taking of oral testimony by the Mayor on any bearing the letter may have had on the Citizens’ Union, The meaning of the letter will have to be constructed by a jury.

Martens Shows Cablegram He Sent to let Govern me WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.—Ludwig C. A. K. Martens, representative in this country of the Russian Soviet Govern- ment, made public to-day a cablegram he had sent to Maxim Litvinoff, Assist ant Commissioner of Foreign Affairs, now at Copenhagen, advising that American Red Cross personnel, recently cuptured in Siberia, be released uncon- ditionally. Martens said he wished to assure relatives of the Americans that they would be treated with every consider- ation. TURK REDS Troops on Way to Constantinople to “Throw Out Enemie LONDON, Feb, 4.—A despatch to the Exchange Telegraph Company from Constantinople to-day says: “The Young Turks’ Red Army will in the near future reach Constantinople to throw out the Turkish enemies. ‘The Turkish Bol#heviki announce that a holy war against Great Britain will be un- dertaken in the spring.” —— WAR ON BRITAIN.

During examination for citizenship a Torrington man was asked: “Who Is the Governor of Con- necticut?” "Mike Holcomb," was the reply. The Governor's front name is Marcus. WOMAN ROUTS 22 OFFICERS, SENDS 2 TO HOSPITAL Mrs. Gallagher, Protecting Instal- ment Furniture, Uses Fists, Poker and Hot Water, PHILADELPHIA, Feb, 4.—A lorie woman, fighting for her in- stalment plan furniture against which a writ of replevin had been issued, has sent two deputy sher- iffs to the hospital and chased out of her house twenty policemen who sought to help the deputies, Not only did Mrs. Ellen Galla- gher of No. 142 Hoffman Street, use her fists and feet, but also a poker, a monkey wrench, scalding water and a bottle of turpentine, The deputies who were sent to Mount Sinai Hospital are Harry Freeman and Harry 8. Brough jr, Freeman has a lump the size of an egg on his head and Brough was hit in the mouth with a monkey wrench, Both are suffer- ing from scalds tion thereof, or in any foreign try, without the permission hority of the Government, \ Five or six policemen have cuts and bruises. « Mrs, Gallagher is doing nicely, ‘ Ue Wat hes ven declared in Lom Valley, by an se pare ‘sdmiration rele The Chapter IX, HEN the Vigilantes again rode out, At their head was Tharon; though both Kenset and Billy tried to dissuade ner. At Corvan, Banner went through | the town like a wind, asking for the | sun of every man he met. By noon every 44 had been examined, one shell exploded. Not one left the nicked, uneven sign of the mysteri- ous hammer which had snapped its death into Old Pete's heart. When the sun was straight over- head and all Lost Valley was sweet | With the summer haze, the Vigilantes, | close-packed and silent, swung out toward the Stronghold, It was blue-dusk when they drew up at the corrals beside the fortress house. Lounging around in cat-like quiet were gome thirty men, riders, gun men, vaqueros. When Banner called for Courtrey there was a sound of boots on the board floors, inside, a woman's Pleading voice, and the cattle king came swinging out, his hands at his waist, his two guns covering the crowd, Tall, straight as a lance, his tron- | gray head uncovered, he was a strik- jing figure of a man. His henchmen watched him sharply. ‘At his side jclung the slim woman, Ellen, her milky face thin and tragic. He shook her loose and faced the newcomers. “Well?” he snapped, “what's this? “Courtrey,” said Banner, “we're (here in th’ name o' th’ law. We de- mand t’ see them guns o' yours.’ - If the knowledge that Jim Banner was a brave man needed confirmation, it had it in that speech. Few men in the world could have made it and gotten away with it. None in a dif- ferent setting. Courtrey heard it, but he paid little heed to it at the mo- ment. His eyes went to the face of Tharon Last and drank in its beauty hungrily. Presently he shifted his gaze and regarded Kenset with a cold light that was evil. “Who wants 'em?” he asked drawl- ingly. “We do.” “Hell! Want Courtrey’s You're modest, Jim. ‘An’ what do you want, Tharon?” guns! Young, Beautiful and Fearless, Tharon Last Had Made Vengeance Her Law. It was Her Only Law Until She Met Kenset, the Forest Ranger From the kast, and Loved Him—Color, Thrills and Action Blend in This Vivid Story of the West. (Copyright, 1919, by Dodd, Mend & Co., 186.)

Kenset stood for a long moe ment and looked at the faint outline of her face, She was still in her. .riding clothes, her head bare with its ribbon half untied in the nape of her slender neck. The tree-toads were singing off by the springhouse and the cattle in the big corrals made the low, ceaseles®, night-sounds common to a’ herd. The riders were gone, the vaquee ros were at their posts-around the resting stock, the low adobe hou: was settling into the quiet of the night, ¥ Miserably Kenset looked at thit ofa girl. - In spite of the tenseness of the mo- ment the voice that had laughed at death and torture in Round Valley ‘decame melting soft as it addressed the girl, | “Law! | I promised you on Baston's porch “Yes? An’ how do you think you'll get that? If I nod my head we'll drive this bunch o’ spawn out 0’ here 80 quick it'll make your head swim! What do you think you're doin'?” said Tharon, “Law—th’ law “I don't think, I know now. Know what we can do—what th’ law means.” Courtrey glanced again at Kenset. “Got some imported knowledge, I take it. “Take it or leave it! Show us them guns!" cried Tharon harshly, “[—don't—think—so,” said Court- rey, nodding. Like a pair of snakes gliding for- ward, Wylackie Bob and the Arizona stranger were suddenly in the fore- ground, hands hanging apparently loose and careless, in reality tense as strung wires, ready to snap with fire and lead. The moment was pregnant. The very air seemed charged with dan- ger and death.

His ball went high ih the air, wild, The blood from that tossed right hand spurted over Wylackie Bob beside him, the gun it had held went hurtling away along the earth. Courtney's men flashed together as one, thundered backward to the wide doorstep, pressed together, waited. The yolee of Kenset rang like a clarion. “Stop!” he cried, “don't shoot!” And he swung off his horse to leap for that gun. js But another was before him, With a scream of anguish that rang heaven-high, Ellen shot forward and snatched it from the spot where it had fatlen. ‘Tali, white as a ghost in the rose- pink Hight that was tinged with pur- ple, she stood, swaying on her feet, and faced them, And she put the gun to her temple! “[ ain't got nothin’ t’ live for,” she said clearly and pitifully, “but Court- rey's life is worth what'I got to me, If you don't clear out I'll pull th’ trigger.” She was tragic as death itself, Tho big blue wells of her eyes were black with the spreading pupils.

There were depths beneath the changing blue eyes which appalled him. How would he feel toward her when the thing was done—when she had killed Courtrey? But she must not be allowed to do it, Not though it took his life, If she was pledged to this thing, he was no less pledged to its pres | vention.
