DISTRICT RIVALS JERSEY
As Charterer Of Corporations, Ac-
cording to Critical Citizen.

That there is fraud and trouble-making
provision in the code of the District OF
Columbia governing the chartering Of
corporations and companies, is the in
formation furnished to the Commissioners
by l. D. Warrington ofs2S14 18th street
northwest. This information was con-
tanned in letter and Mr.. Warrington
earnestly requested the Commissioners to
take steps to have that part of the
code struck out to maintain the good
reputation for the District of Columbia.
The part of the code that Mr.. Warning
ton attacks is section COS. which refers
to trustees and which reads The
stock. property and concerns of such
company shall be managed by not less
than three nor more than fifteen trustees,
who shall. respectively, be stockholders.
and a majority citizens of the District.
and shall, except for the first year. be-
annually elected by the stockholders, at
such time and place as shall be deter
mined by the bylaws of the company"
Mr.. Warrington says the Objectionable
part consists of the words. and a ma
jority citizens of the District for the
reason that great many companies have
been Incorporated under the District code
provisions to transact business in other
jurisdictions and those who are the real
incorporators and the active members OF
the corporations usually reside in foreign
jurisdictions. and those who are the real
vertisements are run in different news
papers over the country, inviting atten-
ton to the low cost of securing a charter
under the District laws.
The words in question: he declared,
ENABLE the practice of a sort Of fraud. in
that corporations are chartered presuma-
bly, in a bona fide manner. but the trus->
tees are never represented by majority
living within the District. Undoubtedly
hundreds. possibly thousands, of COM
panies over the country are chartered
under the laws of the District of Column
bia and it is safe 10 assume that the
large ma iority of them have not a ma
jority of their trustees citizens OF the
District"
Without any comment upon this COM
munication the Commissioners have for
warded it TO the District corporation
counsel for action.

VIOLATION OF LAW ALLEGED.
Bonnie shappirio's Desire to Smoke
Gets Him Into Trouble.

Disorderly on a Capital Traction car
was the charge upon which Bonnie Snap
pirio, nineteen years of age, living at
1414 North Capitol street, was locked up
at the third precinct police station last
night. Shappirio was suffering from two
painful scalp wounds.
And all his trouble remarked
policeman. was caused by his desire to
smoke a pipe while in the street car.
Bonnie boarded the car in Georgetown,
it is stated, and insisted upon smoking his
pipe and expectorating upon the floor of
the car He refused to obey the law of
the road it is alleged. when requested to
do so. and Conductor Lloyd Thompson
made an effort to eject him from the car.
Shappirio, it is alleged. broke his UNI
brela on the conductors head, and the
latter resented it. When Policeman
Beauregard arrested Shapiro ne found
it necessary to take him to the Emergency
Hospital.
Surgeons at the hospital patched the
wounds sustained by Shappiro and the
policeman took him to the police station
and locked him up. The police say that
an additional charge of assault will be
preferred against Shappirio by Conductor
Thompson.

the famous trial of Mrs Surratt is well
remembered. In 1864 Father Walter, APP
preciating the need of the church in the

parish of the Immaculate Conception, and
Rev. +. p. Mccarthy. his assistant, was
appointed pastor of the new church.
In 1861. under the direction of Father
