ROTH EXPRESS CONTEMPT
New York Tribune)

There is no absolute authority to
show the origin of the world "gringo,'
used by Mexicans as a term Of con-
tempt for Americans or Englishmen
Cringo is Spanish for gobberish and
its use as an expression of derlsion
may possibly have come from the fact
that the English language sounds like
80 much gobberish to the people OF
Mexico. II is also considered possible
that the word may be a variation of
"Griego," Spanish for Greek.
"Greaser," the term of contempt
used by Americans, means just what
the word implies. 1t has been in use
for years along the border.

GERMANY BELIEVES
CRISIS MODERATED
Instructions to Won Bernstorft

sen Tension. a.

BERLIN, February 8. via London
1905 p.m.-The feeling which has beer,
prevalent in German circles that
crisis is at hand in German American
relations, particularly in regard to tho
Lusitania case. has been moderated. X
only in slight degree. by the semi-ofi-
cial announcement regarding the for
warding to Ambassador Won Bernstorn
at Washington OF instructions which
give hope of a definite settlement. The
bourse, which had been depressed by
this situation, recovered somewhat on
publication of the announcement ina
newspapers have little to say regard
ing the situation.
Legal Aspects Of Case.
The Overseas News Agency toda,
gave out the following statement:
"A leading authority on international
law when asked about the legal as
poets of the Lusitania question, re.
piled: According to reports Of thu
English press, the question Is now
whether Germany officially admits that
the sinking of the Lusitania was IL
legal To my mind Germany cannot deS
clare that it was illegal, because in

legal status of submarine warfare,
which are to be expected after tho terra
mination of the present war;"
Berlin Press Criticised.
FRANKFoRT-ON-T HE-MAIN. FebI
ruary 3, via London, 10:45 a.m.-The
Frankfurter Zeitung, whose utterancea
on certain subjects are regarded as in-
spired. publishes an article in which
vigorous objection is expressed to the
tone adopted by the press of Berlin in
discussing Secretary Lansing's note on
submarine warfare and the arming of
merchantmen and in particular to the
statements made in Berlin that the pro-
posals are unacceptable to Germany. 1t
dissents from the position taken by the
Kreuz Zeitung and Prof. Won Stengel
that Germany has no interest in ne
gotiations regarding the freedom of the
seas, since England, with Americas
assistance, is only using the negotia-
lions to wrest from Germany's hands
her submarine weapon. To this the
Zeitung rejoins:
1T is gross offense, not only
against international law. but against
the most elementary conception OF good
morals, to charge openly that the
United States, with which Germany is
not at enmity, is putting forth ef-
forts in the sphere of international law
merely with the perfidious purpose OF
helping England.

ASKS THE COURTS AID IN

Aid of the equity branch of the Dis

The court is told that Rogers still de-
clines to vacate and in his refusal has
the support of the wife of the petit
toner. Mr.. Evans asks a permanent
injunction TO prevent Rogers from oc-
cupying a portion of his home and from
interfering with the plaintiff in the
comforts and benefits OF his own
property.

ONLY ONE STREET CAR
ON BRIDGE AT A TIME
Commissioners Take Additional Step
to Increase Safety of Aque-
duct Structure. ~

Following on the heels of their de-
cision to lay new flooring on the
north half of Aqueduct bridge. the
District Commissioners today LOOK
another step toward increasing the
safety of the structure by adopting
regulation which will prohibit more
than one street car using the bridge at
a time. The regulation becomes ef-
fective at IL o'clock noon February, u,
This action Is in accordance with a
recommendation made by Col. Flagler
of the United States engineer ONCE
who recently reported to the War De-
partment that, in his opinion, the
bridge is unsafe for the traffic nov
using it.
Col Flagler also recommended that
the weight of trucks using the bridge
be reduced from the present maximum
limit of six tons to three tons for
horse-drawp vehicles and four tons for
motor trucks.
The Commissioners reached the con-
ciusion that a new flooring on the
north half of the structure would lead
to considerable reduction in vibra-
ton from traffic and render unneces-
sary a further reduction in the weight
restrictions at this time.
The order affecting street cars stipu-
lates that no car shall cross the bridge
at greater rate than six miles per
hour or have a gross weight in excess
Of thirty short tons. 1t also provides
that cars may stop at the north end OF
the bridge for the purpose of discharg-
ing and taking on passengers only, and
that no car shall stop on any other
portion Of the bridge.

FOR DISTRICT RESIDENT
AS RECORDER OF DEEDS

A resident of the District of Column
bia must be appointed to the once Of
recorder of deeds under the amend
ment voted for today by the vinson
subcommittee of the House District
committee. The subcommittee ordered
a favorable report with this amend.
ment on the bill introduced by Repre-
sentative Johnson. at the request OF
the Commissioners. providing that hero
after the recorder of deeds shall be ap-
pointed by the Commissioners and not
by the President. In addition the sub
committee reported favorably the bill
for the appointment of the register OF
wills by the Supreme Court or the Dis
trict; and also a favorable report was
made on the bill to provide new sys-
tenn of cash retents on contracts Of the
District of Columbia.
All three bills are items from the
missioners' program Of legislation.
The report of the subcommittee p tob-
ably will be considered by the full Dis
trict committee on Tuesday. The most
significant thing in the subcommittee
action is the amending of the bill re-
lating to the recorder of deeds. and is
taken to mean that the judiciary sub
committee, of which Representative
vinson is chairman. is in sympathy
with the claim that residents of Wash
ington should be appointed to offices
within the scope of local government.
In addition to this amendment. the
subcommittee wrote into the bill the
provision that the Commissioners
should have the power to remove the
recorder of deeds. The Supreme Court
has the same power in the case Of the
register of wills.
The retents bill would modify the
present methods of making coutTuots
for municipal work. Instead Of reQuir-
ing both a bond and a cash rstent
from the contractors, the Commission.
ers shall require only a bond of not
less than IS per cent of the amount
OF the contract. This bond will then
remain in force for year. after the
completion OF the work. and the
Commissioners will have that to hold
the contractors. The practice Of with-
holding . part Of the cash on the cons
tract will be abandoned.
