LEWIS SENT TO JAIL.
Suspected of Numerous Petty Thefts
ut the Y. VI. c. A. Rooms

George B. Lewis, white, about twenty
one years of age, who was arrested We'd
nesday night By Detective Parham. on a
charge Of petit larceny, preferred by a
member Of the Young Mems Christian As
ISOLATION, was sentenced to thirty days
in Jail by Judge Taylor in the Police Court
yesterday morning.
Lewis, who Is a resident of Southwest
Washington, has been a frequenter for the
last two weeks OF the rooms OF the Young
Mems Christian Association, at 1884 G.
Street northwest. He is not a member of
the organization. 4 member OF the Young
Mems Christian Association states that Il
has been the habit OF Lewis to visit the
sitting room of the building, where he
would engage in a game OF draughts with
some member, and later would take an
opportunity to use the baths in the base
ment. The use of the baths is limited to
the members and those holding visitors
tickets.
Many things have been missing from the
locker room in the last two weeks, where
the members were in the habit Of leaving
their clothes on the chairs while using the
baths. One of the members missed 500
from his clothes about ten days ago. and
suspicion fell upon Lewis. He was
watched in the last few days. and a mirror
was hung on the wall for the purpose Of
covering his movements. suit OF silk
underwear was missed al a later time, and
It was determined to set a trap for the
person making the thefts.
A marked dollar was placed in the vest
pocket OF a suit of clothes which was
left in the locker room. When searched
the marked bill is said to have been found
on Lewis. He was made TO disrobe al
the Young Mems Christian Association
rooms. and underwear such as had been
missed, was found upon him, but the
loser refused to identify them as his
property.
1t IS estimated that cash and other things
to the value of $50 have been taken from
the Toung Mems Christian Association
rooiis during the time Lewis has been a
visitor there.
In the Police Court yesterday it deve'
oped that Lewis had formerly been con
victed of petty larceny. He recently served
as a Juror on an important case. swearing
at the time that he was twenty lone years
OF age, and had never been convicted Of
crime. charge Of perjury may be
brought against him.

GOVERNMENTS IN ACCORD.
England Has Admitted That Our Flour
Was Not Liable to Seizure.

Ambassador Choate is prosecuting his eff
forts To learn just where the provisions are
that We're seized off Delagoa bay on the
Nashnna. the Maria and the Beatrice. He
has reported that the goods on the Maria
are in the custom house az Durham, subject
to the disposition of the owners. The goods
carried on the Nashona are believed to be
still on board that ship at Cape Town, but
owing To imperfections in the ships papers
il has not Vet been possible to clear up the
facts in that case The Beatrice is at East
Liverpool. and the British government is
trying to learn from its officers at that
point the status Of the cargo.
II is authoritatively stated that there .s
no difference whatever between the GOV
ernments of the United States and uf Great
Britain as to the legal aspects of the saiZ-
UreS of goods in these three cases. The
British government has admitted without
reserve that these goods We're not liable to
seizure That has given complete sGtisfac-
t!"n to the State Department.
II does not follow that the department
accepts a. binding the view nf tile British
government rs to the conditions under
which flour and food stuffs may become
r"ntrahand; but the department prefers to
follow The usual rule of International law
and avoid passing on Hypothetical cases.

Irs- present instance
