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.
