–547– -547Subchapter I—Extradition and Removal Generally; Rewards § 4981. Application of extradition laws and treaties of United States All laws and treaties relating to the extradition of persons accused of crime in force in the United States, to the extent that they are not in conflict with or superseded by any special treaty entered into between the United States and the Republic of Panama with respect to the Canal Zone, and all laws relating to the rendition of fugitives from justice as between the several States and Territories of the United States, shall extend to and be considered in force in the Canal Zone, and for such purposes the Canal Zone shall be considered and treated as an organized Territory of the United States. § 4982. Arrest and removal to or from the Canal Zone Section 3041 of Title 18, United States Code, and Rule 40 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, as far as applicable, apply throughout the United States for the arrest and removal therefrom to the Canal Zone of any person charged with the commission of any crime or offense against the United States within the Canal Zone, and apply within the Canal Zone for the arrest and removal therefrom to the United States of any person charged with the commission of any crime or offense against the United States. The person may, by any judge or magistrate of the Canal Zone, and agreeably to the usual mode of process against offenders therein, be arrested and imprisoned or bailed, as the case may be, pending the issuance of a warrant for his removal to the United States, which warrant it shall be the duty of a judge of the district court seasonably to issue, and of the officer or agent of the United States designated for the purpose to execute.
