WEST OPPOSES new LAW

Elimination of statute Opens Way tC

Three bills affecting the corporation
laws of the District Of Columbia have
been referred 10 the Commissioners by
Congress during the present session for
a report upon their merits and propriety.
Commissioner West said yesterday he
favored the bill requiring domestic cor
porations TO file annual reports of its busi-
ness and the bill prohibiting foreign cor
porations from engaging in such a busi-
ness in this city as is not permitted
domestic concerns.
The third bill. to eliminate from the
code Of law the provision that nothing
herein contained shall authorize cor
porations to buy, sell, or deal in real
estate. except corporations TO transact the
business ordinarily carried on by real
estate agents or brokers" is adversely
reported by Mr.. West
Careful inquiry indicates" says the
Commissioner. that II the prohibition Is
stricken from the statutes, the door will
be opened for real estate transactions OF
doubtful character. 1t is for this and
other equally obvious reasons that 1 dis

bodies were found to-day in the Van

TOWER ENDING CIPHER.
Explains Kaiser's Attitude 10 HiII 20
Washington Ohicinls.

Berlin, March 2S.-It is learned that
Ambassador Tower, in response 10 in
structions from Washington. has sent a
cipher message. containing the contents
or purport Of the kaiser's message" 10
President Roosevelt. now on its way by
post.
What are the exact contents OF the
Kaiser's communication is unknown 10
the German foreign Office or TO any one
here, except Tower: but II is generally
believed that It included some reference

sador Towers position in the matter. his
friends take up the position tnat he could
not do otherwise than forward the mes
sage as the official intermediary between
the Kaiser and the United States govern
ment.
Meanwhile, a curious situation has
been created in diplomatic ranks by the
episode II will be remembered that
Spencer Eddy has been nominated as
minister 10 Argentina, in place OF Beau
pre-. who was 10 so TO The Hague. In
case Hill should not quit The Hague.
both appointments will be hung up. Mr.
Eddy. IS al present staying at a Berlin
hotel, waiting Developments. Beaupre has
arrived in Europe.
To-nights papers contain fresh denials
that the Kaiser has advised President
Roosevelt that DR.. Hill is unacceptable.
admitting. however. that the Kaiser. in
speaking at the Tower dinner recently,
mentioned the names Of others esices
Hill as acceptable as successor to
! Tower
a statement pulished in the Lokalan-
zeiger this evening shows that the for
eign Office is inclined TO modify the alb
solute denial first issued. After repeating
the denial Of the story that it was En-
peror William who characterized DR.. Hill
as persona non grata, the communica-
ton says:
The Emperor. II is true. expressed TO
Mr.. Tower regret that the latter was
leaving Berlin. II Is also not impossible
that his majesty, In this connection, spoke
about his successor in the Berlin EN-
bassy and that in the course of this con-
versation. the names OF other Americans
besides Mr.. Hill were mentioned as suit
able candidates. That the Emperor ex-
pressed himself unfavoraly regarding Mr.
Hill. or discussed him even as not being
agreeable, in no way corresponds 10 the
facts"

preston OF regret that once again. pri-

but the suspicion exists, apparently. that
these stories do not comprise the whole
Of the opposition.
However incredulous government Off
cials were at the beginning Of the Incl
dent. that the opposition was based in
part on trivial social Incidents. some OF
the officials are not now so unwilling to
put faith in the report
one of the stories told is that Dr. Hill
has been criticised in Berlin because beer
was served at an entertainment given by
him in honor Of the members Of the Ger
man Embassy in Washington. when DIT
Hill was the Assistant Secretary Of State
The story goes that Dr. and Mrs. Hill
gave series Of evening parties in honor
Of several Of the foreign diplomats In
this Capital. There was a French night
al which all the conversation was In
French. and only French dishes and
French wines We're served. Then there
was a German night. when the conversa-
ton ana songs were in German. and Ger
man dishes and beer were the refresh
ments.
According TO the story told. reports OF
the entertainment reached Berlin. and
causes much adverse comment, tho
ground for criticism being that beer was
not proper beverage for evening enter
tainment and that its use al an affair
/ in honor of the Germans OF high official
standing showed a lack Of tact that could
not be overlooked

TWO NEGROES IN CUSTODY
Jones Had the Goods on Him, but
Declares Preston Gave IL to Him
to SeII-BeIieyed by the Police To
BE Responsible for Many similar
OHenses-May Belong To Gang.

4 sneak thief reaped a rich harvest
Friday night, when he entered the fash
ionable Mount Vernon Seminary, at llOo
NJ street northwest. looted the rooms OF
several girls. and took jewelry valued al
about $780,
Within u few hours after the matter
was reported 10 the police. Detectives
Cornwell and Baur, Of the central Office,
arrested two negroes, Joseph Jones,
twenty-three years old. of 2ll9 Chester
court northwest, and William Preston,
twenty-four years old. of i247 Ninth
street northwest.
Jones Had Goods on Him.
When searched, Jones was found to
have the jewelry wrapped in a news
paper in an inside pocket. He denied he
had stolen II and said Preston gave II
to him TO sell. Preston denied knowing
anything about the robbery of jewelry.
The jewelry. consisting Of four gold
watches. mesh bracelet, a silver purse
patent leather purse. a pair Of cuff
buttons. and an amethyst breast pin
valued at $500. belonged 10 Miss Mildred
Wooley. Miss Nellie Wetherell. Miss Ma
bills. and several other young ladies.
Miss Collins, an instructor, visited 20
lice headquarters. last night. with sew
eraI scholars and identified the jewelry.
The robbery was not reported 10 the
police Until nearly noon yesterday. De
tectives Baur and Cornwell were detailed
on the case and learned that several ne
groes had been seen lOafing in the vicinity
90 H. a.
Obtaining a description the detectives
visited the downtown pawnshOps and
learned that a negro was trying 10 sci
some watches. Jones was caught as he
came out OF a secondhand store.
Taken TO police headquarters the negro
was searched and the stolen jewelry found
in his pocket.
Jones BIames Preston.
He said that he met a negro named
Preston. Friday night, and was asked tC
try 10 dispose OF the watches. pins. and
bracelet He was locked up in the First
precinct station.
A short time later Preston was ar
rested al his home. He denied he had
stolen the jewelry or knew anything
about It. He said he had not seen Jones
for many weeks. He was locked up in
the Sixth precinct station.
The police believe that IN the two ne
groes they may have the men responsible
for a number Of similar thefts that have
been committed both here and IN other
cities. Some months ago reports Of SINH
lar robberieS were received from a num-
Der OF semlnaEies and hotels. Efforts vii
be made to connect Jones and Preston
with these cases.
II is also thought that the negroes may
be connected with gang OF professional
