DISTRICT IN CONGRESS.
The Districts Code.

1t Is the intention of Chairman Heard of
the House District committee to confer at
an early date with the members Of the sub
committee on the District of Columbia code
as to ways and means for commencing
work upon the preparation of a code of
laws for the District.
The subcommittee consists of Messrs
Richardson, Cobb, Cooper Qnd) and Post
and was appointed at the beginning of the
session for this work. The subcommittee
has been awaiting the report OF the lawyers
appointed by act of Congress to compile the
present code of laws in force in the Dis
trict. This work has been recently com-
pleted, as published in The Star, and the
report Is now in the hands of the Supreme
Court of the District.
1t Is probable that copy of the compila-
ton Will be called for by the committee 10
furnish a basis for action in preparing "A
ccde. The subcommittee has felt that it
would be cropping in the dark to undertake
any Kind OF action in this line without
having full knowledge OF what laws are
row in operation. With a clear understand
iIg of this part of the subject. the members
feel that they viii be better enabled TO
act intelligently upon the matter before
them.
The subject will probably be brought Up
at the meeting of the full committee next
Wednesday. The subcommittee consisted of
an additional member UP to the time of
Mr.. Hilborn's retirement from Congress, and
Mr.. Heard will either fill the vacancy with
some member of the present committee or
appoint the new member of the committee,
who is to be selected by Speaker Crisp, to
I'll, Mr. Hilborn's place on the full COM

WHO SHOT GIBBSs
The Buhalo Police Narrowing the
Circle of Suspects.

BUFFALO, n. Y, May 3.-The coroner's
inquest in the case of the murdered lawyer
Montgomery Gibbs, was begun today. No
evidence was taken, however, and the ex-
animation Of witnesses was deferred until
Wednesday. 1t is not deemed advisable at
this time to make public some of the evil
dence that has been obtained, lest the ends
Of justice may be thwarted. The police
have as yet made no arrests
There Is little doubt today in the minds
OF any of the reading and thinking citizens
OF Buffalo that Gibbs was murdered by
scme man living in the immediate vicinity
of where the body was found, and that the
motive for the crime was vengeance follow
Ing swiftly upon Gibbs attempt to pursue
an intrigue with wife or daughter But
not a paper In Buffalo dare print the sus-
picion which passes lightly from lip 10 lip
because there Is no absolute proof, and
great injustice might be done an entirely
innocent woman. Nor do the police dare
make an arrest on the slight clew whfch
they possess.
The head detective will only say that the
circle is gradually narrowing about the
probable murderer and that a sensational
arrest will soon be made.
