367n.1121 Hanovich, Israel/14: Telegram
The Consul at Jerusalem (Heizer) to the Secretary of State
Jerusalem, May 21,
1924—10 a.m.
[Received May 21—9:23 a.m.]
[Received May 21—9:23 a.m.]
Referring to Department’s telegram May 19, 3 p.m.19 Hanovich released on bail. Court now pressing him to pay fine which he refuses reiterating at every step from the beginning his citizenship American and demanding to be heard in the Consular Court. May be imprisoned again unless he pays. Should a protest be made by me to the Government of Palestine in all cases heard in the courts locally versus American citizens who refuse to submit in writing to local jurisdiction?
