MUST GO ON RECORD.
Insurance Company Notified of Pro-
visions of Law.

In accordance with opinion of the
CORPORATION counsel the Commissioners will
inform Attorney r. r. Banes of Detroit.
representing the National Underwriting
and Trust Company, that the company
mentioned can have no legal standing as a
corporation in the District until its certi-
ficate of Incorporation has been placed on
record by the recorder of deeds.
From the papers before the Commission
ers, ii seems that several weeks ago Mr..
Banes presented to the recorder of deeds
for the District an application for the in
corporation of the National Underwriting
and Trust Company. Mr.. r. w. Dutton,
deputy recorder of deeds, returned to the
attorney the Incorporating fee, with the
information that as the company which 1t
was proposed to incorporate is a trust COM
pany under the law, application for its in
corporation must be made to the District
Commissioners.
In response to the communication from
Mr.. Dutton, the attorney for the company
wrote that the company is not doing a
regular trust company business and he
insisted that the Commissioners see to 1t
that the recorder of deeds duly recognize
the eompanys application without a mo-
ment's delay
The papers were referred to the corpora
ton counsel who reports that the COM
pany in question was notified April % that
II could have no legal standing as cor
poration in the District until its certificate
of incorporation was duly placed on record
by the recorder of deeds, and that the re-
corder of deeds sis an Independent federal
officer appointed by the President, and his
action or non-action can only be reviewed
and controlled by the courts"
Mr. Duvall states further that IL the COM
pany desires to incorporate under section
COS of the code. its communications should
be directed to the recorder OF deeds.

WALSH WITHDRAWS APPEAL.
cred DeviT' Case Disposed Of Salts
factorily This Morning

In the Police Court this morning At
torneys W. s. Duvall and Douglass & Doug
lass, representing Mr.. Vincent +. Walsh.
stated to the court that, following the in
structions of their client. who was arrested
and tried last week on a charge of speed
ing his automobile. and who was convicted
and fined, they desired to withdraw motions
for new trial, inasmuch as Mr.. Walsh pre-
ferred not to hide behind any supposed or
real technicality.
Mr.. Walsh, as well as his counsel say
they deemed certain remarks made by Pros
ecutor Pugh in the argument at the trial
as unnecessary and also without founda-
ton and as tending to prejudice Young
Mr.. Walsh In the eyes of the public and
his friends generally. Mr.. Pugh, according
to Mr.. Walsh's counsel, In order to impress
the court with he importance of convicting
the young man stated that he was running
amuck with his red-devil car to the danger
of citizens" The testimony In the case

he was exceeding, outside of the city limits
the speed of four miles an hour around COR
ners, six miles across railroad tracks and
fifteen miles between streets. all of which
occurred beyond the city limits Mr. Pugh
also stated at the trial that there was a
special order issued to the policemen TO
especially look out for young Walsh and
his red devil.
In reply this morning Mr.. Pugh stated to
the court that he desired to withdraw both
of the remarks made by him at the trial
of the case and in the heat of argument:
that he had no intention to convey the im-
preston that Mr.. Walsh habitually or pur-
posely violated the law that there IL
any special police order to keep special
watch upon Mr.. Walsh when he was using
his machine in the public streets.

GRAND DUKE BORIS IN DISGRACE
Cars Cousin Parades Streets of Port
Arthur Drunk.

A cablegram from st. Petersburg says:
Dispatches from Port Arthur say that
Grand Duke Boris, cousin of the car, has
fallen into disgrace because of drunken
orgie in which he engaged recently, and
Gen Kuropatkin has requested the young
mans recall.
Boris is said to have paraded the streets
of the besieged town wearing nurses
costume and singing at the top of his
voice. In view of the critical position of
the fortress, his conduct created disgust
and anger, and nothing but his high rank
saved him from violence at the hands of
the people.
Boris conduct is unfavorably contrasted
with the gallantry of Grand Duke Cyril,
who narrowly escaped with his life in the
sinking of the Petropavlovsk 1t is under
stood that the car, when informed of the
disgraceful incident, angrily ordered Boris
recall
Grand Duke Boris paid a sensational visit
to the United States during the summer
and fall of 1902. Landing at San Francisco
after a tour of the orient, he proceeded
leisurely across the country, shooting big
game, and taking in the sights at the big
cities.
In Chicago he distinguished himself by
drinking champagne from the slipper of
one of the chorus girls whom he entertain
ed at private dinner He took in the
town incognitO returning repeatedly to
his hotel after daylight in the morning.
He had several sensational poker esca-
pades, and figured in a runaway automo-
bile affair.
In New York he followed a similar style
of learning the ways of the country and
at Newport 1t was his fortune to become
enmeshed In war for social supremacy
that was then waging at societys summer
! capital and was thus enabled to study
/ American high life on the firing line.
BY the time Duke Boris had made his
way to Oyster Bay to pay an official call
on the President he had become so notori-
Gus that on the day of his visit Mrs.
| Roosevelt found it convenient to be abb
sent.
He sailed for Europe in blaze of glory,
sounding the praises of the American girl
and waiting Russian kisses at Miss May
Goelet now the Duchess of RoXburghe, of
whom he was said to be enamored, and
whose engagement to him was one of the
current rumors of his noted visit.

BIG CANAL PROBLEMS
DIFFICULTIES WHICH CHIEF
ENGINEER MUST SOLVE.
John F. Wallace, the Man Who Will
Have His Abilities and Energies
Tested by the Prodigious
Undertaking.

A great engineering project like the
iigging of the Panama canal tests what
is in a man and affords him splendid OPP
portunity of achieving success and re-
nown. No one but an engineer, perhaps,
can realize all that is involved In the
completion of the isthmian waterway.
There are problems covering the entire
field of civil engineering, and it will tax
the ingenuity and skill of John f. Wal
lace, who has been called to assume
charge of this important work. He comes
to the position well prepared for his
duties, for as general manager of the lille
nois Central railroad he has demon
strated his ability to cope with large en-
cheering problems. 1t is too early for
him to have formed any definite plans OF
action. In fact he Will not lay out the
work and decide upon the methods to be
used until he has visited the isthmus and
carefully looked over all of the ground.
However Mr.. Wallace is not stranger
to the canal route, for in 1896 he visited
the works then being carried on by the
French company. 1t was professional
curiosity which took him there at that
time, and he little dreamed that within
ten years be would be in charge of one
Of the greatest national engineering feats
in history.
There are FIVE distinct problems which
ire included in the task of completing
the great ditch Mr.. Wallace outlines
them as follows.
"First-There is the great problem of
sanitation. All efforts will be made to
keep from adding to the graves on Mon
key hill, that past ridden spot in which

water of Panama bay.
"Fourth-A way must be found for di-

course of the canal for a number of miles
and which at certain seasons of the year
is subject to sudden and great freshets.

power for developing electricity must be
constructed. The canal must be lighted
along its entire length. and in addition to
electricity for that purpose electrical
power will be used in operating much of
, the machinery used in constructive
work"
An interesting and touching story is
told of Mr.. Wallaces acceptance of the
| position of chief engineer, which was
offered him by the president. Before he
would accept he felt he must obtain the
consent of his aged mother. whose home
was at Wooster, o. He went direct from
Washington to see her and after laying
the matter before her and explaining
that the assumption of the task meant
an absence on the isthmus of ten years.
and that probably she would not survive
his return. she laid her trembling hand
lovingly upon his arm, and with tender
look of mother pride shining in the eyes
that were swimming with tears and with
voice shaking with emotion, said: Yes,
go, 1t is your duty. Your mothers bless
ing goes with you" And with the bene-
dictionof his aged mother resting upon
him he went out and wired the president
his acceptance.
Mr.. Wallace is a man OF about so
strong and vigorous. In addition to his
high qualifications as civil engineer he
possesses exceptional executive and ad.
ministrative ability. He will receive a
salary of S25, 900, but gives up position
which was more remunerative. 1t was
not money which induced Mr.. Wallace tc
accept, bat the loyal and patriotic devo'
ton which he felt toward his country
and also the honor and fame which would
come to him in connection with the sue
cessful completion OF the enterprise. AS
Mr.. Wallace puts It: ut is either fame
or Monkey hill"

OlCdllSA 81 WV w. ~
New York, June 27.-That up

the burning of the excursion steam
er Gen. Slocum is now practically
certain. According TO an exhaust
i've report made by Police Inspector

have been recovered, and that nine
ty-three persons known to have
been aboard the vessel are still un-

mortality of the disaster upto l,O3l.
Those injured numbered 179, and
of the 1,5O0 persons who embarked
on the excursion of st. Mark
church only 236 escaped without in

The report is the result of min
ute investigation by corps of one

survivors which will be used at
the investigation by the District
Attorney to fix the responsibility
