Red Cross Discusst0n.

Both sections Of the committee on the
laws of warfare OF the peace conference as
The Hague me- separately yesterday and
began the examination of the subject sub
mi;ted to them, the Red Cross section dis
cussing paragraph > and paragraph Of
The circular of Count MuravieT. Russian
minister of foreign affairs and the Brussels
conference section discussing paragraph 7.
Both sections met subsequently and dis
Cussed the question of competence, as re-
CARDS the scheme for the revision Of tho
Geneva convention, known as the Morgner
scheme.
The Morguier scheme comprises maditica-
items OF the Geneva convention In connec-
ton with wounded and sick prisoners. menu
bcrs of the military hospital service Cor-
veys for the wounded. ambulances. hos
pltdls. property belonging To neutIalized
persons, religious and medical stans, and
kindred subjects. The scheme applies equal
~ 10 land and sea warfare.
ii WAS proposed to submit the scheme
to another committee for revision, and the
question was then raised whether the con-
ference was competent TO deal with the
matter. Those who took a negative view
argued that the conference had decided in
principle and all the governments repre-
sentatives had agreed that nothing should
be submitted TO the conference beyond the
eight points in the circular of Count Mura-
Vien- They contended that. if the confer
enCe once lnfringed this rule, a precedent
would be created leading TO numerous diff
culties, including. probably. the springing
OF the Armenian, Macedonian and similar
questions upon the conference.
No Doctors Present.
1t was also pointed out by the opponents
of the proposal to refer that inasmuch az
the Morgnier scheme dealt mostly with
the wounded and with hospitals it would
be impossible to discuss the proposed modi-
ticatious effectively without the co-opera-
ton of doctors, who alone would be capable
OF deciding many of the points In issue. AS
matter of fact. there is no man Of medical
training among the delegates.
The committee finally adjourned without
reaching decision.
There is no truth in the statement that
proposal has been submitted to the con-
ference to abrogate the provisions OF the
declaration Of Paris, 1876 regarding the
protection OF private property in time OF
war.
The Berliuer Neuster Nachrichten. in an
editorial yesterday den ing that Germany is
opposing the idea of al. arbitration tribunal
at the peace conference suggests that tho
attitude of Great Britain and the United
States in recent years, shown by the
Venezuelan and Alaskan disputes, has not
been favorable to arbitration. although, as
the paper says, they are now posing a < It's

SIDEWALK MERCHANTS SAFE.
They Cannot he Fined for Occupying
Space without Permits.

The legal status OF merchants on Louis
lana Avenue and Street, who have not
yet procured permits to occupy sidewalk
and parking spaces was yesterday defined
by S. Z. Thomas. attorney for the Dis
trict in an opinion rendered by him 10
the Commissioners.
The Commissioners desired 10 know
whether under existing laws these mer-
chants could be convicted for illegal use
of the sidewalk and parking The act of
Congress approved July l, 1898. vested in
the Commissioners the control of the
street parking, and empowered them to
promulgate rules and regulations in re-
gard to these sidewalks. The act, how
ever, provided no penalty. but authorized
the affxing of such penalties TO the rules
and regulations as would secure their en-
forcement.
Attorney Thomas ruled that until the
Commissioners do make 4 regulation de-
claring 1t unlawful to occupy sidewalks
and parltngs on business streets without
a permit there can be no conviction of the
merchants. He recommended that the
parking regulations be amended by adding
the following:
1t shall be unlawful TO occupy the sidewalk
and parking. OF any part OF either, of any bust
ness street, without first obtaining permit in
writing from the Commissioners to do. ANY
person or persons violating the provisions of
this section shall on conviction thereof in the
Police Court, pay fine not more than $500.
Tor each day such occupation shall continue.
The Commissioners will fix the fine If
they approve the amendment suggested by
their attorney.

paid in license 800 Theatres are licensed
to play their seasons and by the year for
500. The burden of meeting a license of
several hundred dollars for the continuous
and prolonged season which we are exhibit
ing in Washington becomes matter of
such extreme and severe hardship that We
earnestly and confidently hope that you
may be able TO afford us relief by RENTING
the unusual and exorbitant amount over
800 on the year.
The law, while it directs that n license
of SO be paid upon exhibitions, still, of
course. is meant to apply to those per-
formances which come into town or city.
remain but a week or two and then leave.
We are showing in Washington permanent
ly and find that the admitted hardship of
increasing our license to $500 in the year,
equal almost the sum paid by all the thea
tres in Washington combined. is so out of
the question and insupportable as to rem
der it impossible TO longer continue open.
In the years 1893, 1894, and 1895 Mr..
Frank b. MetZerott paid yearly license
for hall exhibitions of the character and
description of those given by the wargraph
OF 500 per year. showing the power of your
honorable selves TO remit this class of bur-
dens. Without relief We are forced to
abandon our support and just and legiti-
mate means of livelihood"

ADVERSE REPORT HELD UP.
Promoters of the New Telephone
Company VIII Get n Hearing

. foho'ers OF me New Telephone
Company VIII Get n Hearing.
AT the request of T. Gushing Daniel the
District Commissioners will grant hear
ing on House bill 1878, provid-
ing for the incorporation OF the Columbia
Telephone Company.
When the petition OF Mr.. Daniel was re-
ceived at the District Building the Com
missioners had already recommended that
the bill be returned to Congress with an
adverse report. Mr.. Wight's recommended
ton was as follows:
i recommend that Il report he made in this
case to the effect that the Commissioners have
advised against additional telephone companies.
believing that such service could he better rem
dered by one company under proper management
and ut proper rates. than by two more com
panies having separate lines and instruments and
they report adversely the bill.
This recommendation had not yet been
approved by Commissioners Ross and
Beach, however, and Mr. Wight recon-
mended that the hearing be granted. This
the other members of the board approved
The proposed measure is the second of
its kind that has been submitted to Con
gress since the year 1897. The first was
introduced by Representative Hepburn on
March %, 1897 and received an adverse
endorsement by the Commissioners. The
measure is almost counterpart OF the first
bill with few minor changes.
The incorporators named in this. the
Mudd bill, are John ID. Langhorne, Orren
G. Staples John 4. Baker. TalImadge A.
Lambert, T. Gushing Daniel, j. E. keelyn,
W. G. Waggaman, W. S. Knox Lawrence
Gardner, J. 4. Blundon, and Thomas
Armat.
The bill authorizes the company to con-
struct and maintain an underground cleo
tric telephone system in the District OF
Columbia, with all the necessary ducts
and conduits mechanical and electrical
devices. The incorporators of the company
will be required within ninety days after
the approval Of the act to submit to the
District Commissioners plan or diagram
showing the streets along which the com
pany will lay its conduits The Commits
sionsrs will be empowered TO require any
reasonable modification of the plan that
may be necessary to protect the rights and
interests of the people of the District.
Work must be begun on the proposed
telephone system within three months al
ter the adoption of the plan by the Com
missioners. The Mudd bill provides furth-
er that it will be unlawful for the pro-
posed company TO charge at any time more
than $50 per annum for its regular ser
vice in any business establishment and $50
for any residence

THE CASE NoLLE PRESSED.
Justice Cole Dismisses the Case
AgninSt Edwin IL. McCnYan

The charge OF grand larceny which was
preferred against Edwin B. MCGOWAN an
Street broker by William b. Matthews
was yesterday, on motion OF District At
torney Henry f. Davis, before Justice
Cole, presiding in Criminal Court No. /,
nolie pressed. The accused and his at
torney, Chaplin Brown made a vigorous
protest against the matter being disposed
OF in this way, as they were very anxious
that MCGOWAN should have the fullest vim
dication obtainable at the hands of the law
and desired that the charge might be in
vestigated in open court and disposed OF
on its merits.
When the case was called for hear
ing Air. Davis stated to Justice Cole that
he desired 4 nolle pross to be entered,
adding that he only permitted the matter
being brought into court at all at the
solicitation Of the defendant MCGOWAN
Since the matter had been called 10 his
attention Mr. Davis said he had made a
thorough examination of all the circum-
stances connected with the affair and is
Of the opinion that It should not have
been referred to the grand jury at all
As a result Of this investigation he said
he could not stand before jury and ask
for the conviction OF the accused.
Justice Cole stated that he was of the
opinion that Mr. MCGOWAN was totally ex-
onerated from any suspicion in connection
with the affair and ordered a nolle pros
entered.
The circumstances of the affair which
resulted in Mr.. MCGOWAN being charged
