Entry Into CITY of Balti-
more and Washington
Transit Endorsed.
COMMISSIONERS FAVOR PLANS
ho'tse Bill for This Purpose Returned
With the Recommendation That It
Pass-Benefts to Territory Through
Which 1t Passes Set Forth.

The District Commissioners yesterday
sent TO the House District Committee
their report upon House bill 1885. Fifty
seventh Congress. first session. To au-
thorize the Baltimore and Washington
transit Company to extend its street rail-
way in the District of Columbia" The
report follows:
The Baltimore and Washington Tran
Sit Company is corporation of the State
of Maryland, and was authorized to enter
the District Of Columbia by act of Con-
gress approved June S. 1895.
Work Already Done.
1t has already constructed, under au-
thcrity of that act, tracks on Spring
Read, Tahoe and Fifth Streets. to Una
tilla Street, all in Takoma Park, where
IL connects with the tracks of the Bright
wood Railway Company on the last-named
street
The present bill proposes an extension
OF these tracks In a southerly direction
on the line of Fourth Street, as proposed
to be extended under the highway extern
sion plans, New Hampshire Avenue,
Brightwood Avenue. and Spring Road TO
the eas.erly line of Fourteenth Street
northwest.
Six Tickets for Quarter.
IF extended, as proposed IN the bill.
the tracks will connect with ;se proposed
extension of the Metropolitan Railroad
on the line of Eleventh Street extended.
and will terminate at Fourteenth Street
somewhere near the northern terminus
OF the Fourteenth Street line of the Capt.
tai Traction COMPANY. though provision
is made in the bill that there shall be
no Physical connection with said line.
ut f1-ther provides that, in conjunction
with the Capital Traction Company, the
company may receive one fare not exceed
ing cents. or six tickets for 25 cents, for
each passenger for continuous ride over
its route and the route of the Capital
Traction Company within the District of
Columbia or any part thereof.
The route named in the bill is believed
TO be one OF the best that could be selected
for connecting the present line of this road
with the various city lines. II follows easy
grades throughout most of its length. and
conforms to streets laid cut under the plan
for permanent system Of highways in the
District.
To Develop Property.
TT further requires that the BAND which
the company shall acquire for a right-of-
way within the limits of the streets shall
be dedicated to the District of Columbia,
which will go far toward a development of
the property along this route.
Although the road would not traverse |
section Of the country which is in any
sense settled, the Commissioners believe 1
that its construction would occasion rapid 1
growth along its line. The section is one .
for which demand for street car facili- ,
ties will be made in the near future.
The Commissioners would recommend |
favorable action on the bill"

RIGHTS or INSURANCE
SOLICITORS DEFINED
Assistant City Solicitor Rem
derS Important Decision.
Licenses Must Be Granted Them Upon
Paying the Necessary
Legal Fee.

| Mr.. Arthur H. o'Connor Assistant City
Solicitor yesterday submitted to the Dis
/ trict Commissioners an opinion upon the
| communication of the Superintendent OF
Insurance relating to licenses issued from
January to May 1. 1902, to solicitors and
brokers.
1t appears that under date of January
90, 1902, Mr.. Thomas E. Drake, the Super
intendent of Insurance. issued his ruling
designated as NO. /. in relicenses,' and
that subdivision of the ruling was:
"A solicitor must be employed in some
capacity by a company or its principal
agent. License privilege is limited to one
company only and the name of the COM
pany must be embodied in the license, the
fee 20 be paid by the solicitor, So"
Il understand" says Mr.. 0'Connor, that
prior TO May /, when certain applications
for the solicitors licenses were made TO
the Superintendent of Insurance, he re-
fused to issue. in some cases the solicit
tors license TO the ground that the ap-
plicant's chief employment was not that
OF insurance; that thereupon, being re-
fused a solicitors license. certain appli-
cants took out brokers' license, for
which the fees were much greater than
that of a solicitor.
Entitled to License.
Upon reconsideration of this matter,
an opinion was rendered by the City Solic
itor that such person was entitled to the
solicitors license and that. notwith-
standing the fact that the applicant for
a license might not be regularly employed
by the company, he was entitled to such
license If employed at all by the insur-
ance company.
II take it to be fac: that the per-
son who. under these circumstances, af- |
ter having applied for solicitors Ii |
cense,' took out brokers license would |
not have done so but for the construc- |
tion formerly placed upon ruling No. 1.
Refund Cannot Be Made.
This does not alter the fact. how
cense, and such a license having been
issued to him, he was obliged to pay the
license fee prescribed by the statute for
a brokers' license. He might have re-
fused to take out brokers' license. and
insisted upon his right to that of a So
lictor's. and probably could have en-
forced that right, If necessary, IL a court;
but having taken out brokers' license,
he has all the power of broker under
that license, and whether he desired to
exercise all those powers or not he could
not properly have such license upon any
other fee than that prescribed by the
statute.
= am, therefore, of the opinion that
no fees can be refunded under the cir

block at the northwest corner of Market
and Illinois streets, by which ii secures
possession of the property as site for the
proposed interurban terminal passenger
last night he had received an intimation
that the deal was practically closed several
days ago, and that with the return of Hugh
j. MCGOWAN to the city the final details of
the transfer of the property will be ar
ranged.
The consideration of the sale was not
mentioned. although the real estate dealer
gave it as his opinion that the property
could not be secured for less than s250.0OO
to life insurance company of this city
last year for $4,000, the company refusing
the proffer, but rendering instead 500, OO0
which was in turn refused by the owners.
Other real estate men who discussed the
reported deal thought that the price men
toned excessive, and that the termin-
al company, If ii made the deal, got the
property for much less money.
II was said yesterday that the Street
Railway Company intends erecting on the

an investment To the north in addition
a passenger and freight terminal station
will be erected. The opinion is current that

BELL BOY Is ARRESTED
EDWARD STIGGER CHARGED WITH
ROBBING ENGLISH HOTEL GUEST.
ID. Zimmern, JeweIry Salesman, Re-
ports the Loss of $500 Worth of
VnIunbles-Detective at Work.

Edward Stigger, colored. captain of bell
boys at Englshs Hotel, was arrested yes
terday evening by Detectives Asch and
Manning on the charge of grand larceny.
1t is thought Stigger knows something re-
garding the disappearance of diamonds val
ued at $500 belonging to D. Zimmern,
travelling man. Zimmern, who is at the
head of Zimmern & Co. jewelers.. of New
York, arrived in the city Monday at mid
night. He went at once to his rooms and
prepared to retire. He called bellDoy and
sent a suit of clothes to be pressed
On retiring zimmern said he took his
watch and fob cuff buttons. several dia-
mond rings and a valuable pearl scarf pin
and put them in his straw hat on the table
He said he was awakened at o'clock by
rapping on a door next to his room. AS he
opened his door Stigger. the bellboy came
into the room with his clothes Zimmern
said he told Stigger to throw the clothes
over chair. The boy did as requested and
then walked from the room while Zimmern
returned to bed. He said he heard the door
slam. but paid no further attention to it, as
he was very sleepy. He was awakened
about one hour later, he said, for break
fast.
When he came to dress he looked in his
hat for his jewelry. but the cuff buttons,
watch and fob and diamond rings were
gone. Zimmern al once complained TO the
management and the detective department
was notified Asch and Manning were sent
to the hotel. They searched every bellboy
that had been on Zimmern's floor during
the night. Even the chambermaids We're
questioned and searched. but none of the
missing jewelry could be found. The detec-
tives then went 10 Stigger's home and
learned that he had not been home They
returned TO his home. at No $50 Leon street
late in the afternoon and found Stigger pre-
pairing 10 go 10 work. They took him 10 the
police station. where he was closely ques-
toned. While Stigger was in the company
OF the detectives he intimated several times
that he was willing to tell something about
the missing jevelry. When Captain CARRIER
and the other detectives approached him on
the subject Stigger closed up and refused
To talk. merely saying that he did not know
anything about the jewery
Mr.. ZimmeTn said that in his bedroom he
had a large stock OF diamonds and jewelry
that he had brought 10 this city for the 10
cal trade. This was not touched. and for
this reason he says he feels confident that
some attache OF the hotel stole the valua-
bes in his hat The large pearl scarf pin
that he placed in the hat was not touched.
Mr.. Zimmern said the pin was valued at
$lI5. The total value of the other iewelrv
taken. he said. was $500. He has offered a
reward for its return.
