Restrictions Imposed.

Senator Bailey argued that the DIS
trict Commissioners establish police
regulations in the District.
1T is a mere play on words to say
that the Commissioners do not levy
taxes and fix assessments in the Dis
trict,' he said. He pointed out that
the President might appoint white
man or a black, boy or a girl as
Commissioner of the District under
the law. The only restriction upon
him is that the appointee must have
been an actual resident of the District
for three years prior to the appoint
ment," said he. 1T is proper that a
citizen of the District may challenge
the appointment of an officer who
makes the police regulations under
which the citizen must live and who
levies the taxes the citizen must pay.

This line of reasoning was questioned
closely by Justice Pitney, who declared
that lie could not understand why any
act Of the President and the Senate
performed in pursuance OF a law enact
ed by Congress should not be open TO
review by the courts. Mr.. Davis finally
dismissed the subject by saying that
he thought the court would never reach
that question in its consideration OF the
c;ise but would decide in NeWmdn's
favor ort the other questions involved.

Argued ON Its Merits.

The ease was argued on its merits
before the court yesterday. and it Is
believed that no further hearings VIII
he had before the Supreme Court un-
less the court should divide four to
four on the ease.
Ia his argument before the court Mr..
Davis insisted that there We're queS-
tionS of so much Importance involved
that lie had 10 doubt the court would
give the ease consideration on appeal.
He questioned the right of the lower
courts TO reinvestigatc the appoint
meut of Newman after the President
and the Senate had passed finally upon
ths appointment.
THE question is not whether the
President is above the law. said Mr..
Davis. NO one has ever suggested it.
But if the President has violated the
law ne may be Judged by impeachment
proceedings. VI the Senate has violated
the law they may be judged by the
sovereign people, to whom they must
go for election.
Mr.. Davis contended that the appoint
lncnt of Newman by the President and
his confirmation by the Senate having
been completed. that ended the mat
ter.
There is no longer field for judi
cial inquiry, since the Senate acted in

PERMISSION TO DOCK
German Raiders New Boiler Tubes
Must Be Manufactured, Re-
quiring Three Weeks Time.

NEWPORT NEWS. Va. April 1.-THE
German merchant raider Kronprinz
Wilhelm, it was learned today. is in
need of boiler tubes. which cannot oe
supplied at this port and must be
| manufactured elsewhere. To procure
and install the tubes. it is said, Will
require at least three weeks.
Authorization to take the Wilhelm
into drydock has been given by the
Washington government, but the VIII
helm must be trimmed before she can
be moved and drydock space must be
cleared. For these reasons 1t IS prob
able that the ship will not dock before
Friday.
Waiting for Orders.
Rear Admiral Beatty, commandant OF
the Norfolk navy yard, who has naval
supervision of affairs relating to the
kronprinz Wilhelm, sent word mere
that the naval examining board would
probably not inspect the German
cruiser until the Navy Department has
received and examined Capt. Th1er-
felder's requests for repairs. which are
now in possession of the State Depart
ment.
The German commander did not com
plete his inquiry into the nationality
of members of the Wilhelm's crew last
night, as requested by Collector Ham
ilton, but promised to ascertain today
whether any naturalized Americans
are aboard the ship. At least one
American is believed to belong TO the
crew.
Held 16 Days Before Being Sunk.
Details of the sinking of the British
steamship Bellevue, one of the VIII
helms fourteen victims. were related
today by members of the crew, reveal
ing that the British ship was held as
a prize for sixteen days before she was
sent to the bottom. For days the Bel
levue would be tied up to the Wilhelm.
and at night the German cruiser would
stand by the merchantmen, with d
prize crew board.
