DOING BUSINESS IN BERLIN Some of the Difficulties to Be Met by Foreign Firms. Concessions Necessary Which May Be Revoked at Any Time—Many Taxes Are Also Imposed. Charles de Kay, consul general at Berlin, writes the State Department regarding the attitude of the promoters of the Berlin ex- position of 1896, and says there is no hope for the admission of foreigners, not even if they open an agency in Berlin and make goods within the city limits. Through his request, an American firm, paying taxes and manufacturing and selling goods in Berlin, insisted upon making an exhibit ard pressed for a definite answer. Their application has been rejected on the plea that the main branch of their business is located elsewhere. The promoters have now closed entries, in order to prevent any possible competition. Forcign Firms’ Difficulties. The consul general then goes on to show aow difficult it is for foreign firms and cor- porations to do business in Berlin. They are not allowed to transact business in Germany until they have concession or li- cense, a condition of which is that the cor- poration shall be registered in the Handel's tegister, which keeps an eye on ail native corporations domg a business of $2,500 or upward. Cases have occurred recently where a German judge has refused to reg- ister an American corporation because the laws of the several states of the American Union are not similar to the laws of Prus- sia. Corporations are required to publish in the official papers such statements of their business as the government may ex- act. may b2 revoked at any time without notice or statement of cause. If the business of the foreign corporation is in any way dan- gerous to the health or life of employes it must join an insurance club. Taxes Imposed, Some of the taxes imposed on foreigners doing business in Berlin are: State revenue tax, 6 per cent of calculated profits; city r-yenue tax, ubout che same; an industrial tax. The tax on the amount of rent paid has lately fallen off, but a new tax or income tax proper has’ been imposed afresh, and this is demanded from foreigners who re- main any length of time, as weil as from natives. In closing, Mr. de Kay says he does not wish to discourage United States merchants and manufacturers from attempting the Berlin market, which offers in some re- spects a tempting field for those who un- derstand the people and the country, but he wants them to understand the difficul- tles In the way before spending money for the purpose. ee MAY FETE RECEPTIO: A Big Crowd Expected at the Light Infantry Armory Tonight. The ladies of the international and Dis- trict committees for the Atlanta exposi- tion have transformed the interior of the Light Infantry Armory into a bower of loveliness for their May fete, which is to be given there this week. The same scen- ery which was so prominent at the ice carnival is still in position, and forms a background for the quaint, picturesque booths and their atiractive displays, while the national colors greet the ey direction. This evening the lad! ecmmittee will open the fete and tomorrow evening those of the District committee will give especial greeting to all those who may wish to join with them in making the District representation at the Atlanta exposition a success.

He uses his weapon not for legitimate purposes, but for the pur- pose of drawing blood from his victims. Grant Thomas and another colored man were his victims Saturday night, and al- though Grant’s head was slashed in sev- eral places he was able to appear in court today and tell the story of Saturday right’s meeting in Navy place. Hamilton had been drinking, and just how the trou- ble started the witnesses were hardly able to tell. “And he had a pistol,” said one of the witnesses. “What kind of a pistol “A revolver.” “What kind of a revolver was it?" “Shootin’ irons.” “Well,” said the judge, what -it was?” “Concealed weapons,” the colored witness answered. “Will you swe “can you tell r that he had a pistol? “T won't swear it was a pisfol, but it was something like silver.” The court heard the other evidence in the and imposed a sentence of 360 daysin a M. C. A. Debate. 1 the debate of the Y. M. C. A. Literary ciety Saturday evening the subject was, olved, That the United States should interfere to prevent the occupation of Nic guan ports.” Il was presented affirma- sly by Mr. Fred E. Tasker, and the ative by President Walter N. Weston. The general discussion of the subject was conducted by Messrs. Theodoro Bray, M. W. Barksdale, M. A. Watson, L, C. Wilk iamson and Pickens Neagle. Mr. James B. Graham, to whom the arguments were referged, decided the question in favor of the ailirmative. Tye =< Shakespeare Club.

Their Evil Influences Denounced at a Largely Attended Meeting. ‘The liquor traffic in general and the sa- loon in particular were the themes for de- nunciatory addresses, at the lengthy and well-attended meeting of the Anti-Salobn League held yesterday afternoon at Foun- dry M. E. Church. After preliminary ser- vices of song, scripture reading and prayer President Erwin stated that a representa- tive trom eacit of the five organizations represented in the league would consider the question as to what the society thought of the saloon. The first speaker Mr. E. C. Palmer, who represented thé Independent Order of Good Templars. His arraignment of the saloon as the primal cause for most of the worst and greatest of the domestic evils that afflict the country was strong and se- vere. Saloons, he declared, were responsi- ble for a large part of the poverty exist- ing. He showed by statistics that in 1885 $395,000,000 more were spent for alcoholic liquors than for flour and bread. Many of the hardships suffered by families of labor- ers in winter were due to the habit of the latter of spending their wages in saloons during their season of employment. Mr. Palmer’s remarks were listened to with close attention and lberally punctuated with applause. Mr. J..S. B. Hartsock, representing the Independent Order of Rechabites, followed Mr. Palmer, and said that his society would heartily subscribe to everything Mr. Palm- er had said. He alluded to the saloon in Germany, saying that Emperor William was afraid of its effects, while Bismarck feared the drinking habits of his people more than French bayonets. The other speakers, all of whom present- ed striking evidences of the evil influences exerted upon both the moral and substan- tial life of communities by the saloon, were Mrs. S. M. Griffith, president of the Wo- man’s Temperance Union; Mr. W. C. Met- calf of the Christian Endeavor Union and Mr. E. B. Matthews of the Epworth League. —_——__ Perseverance Lodge. The first meeting of Perseverance Lodge of Good Templars during the new term attracted a very large attendance of mem- bers and visitors from other lodges. The reports of the retiring officers showed that the lodge was in every way prosperous, and that during the past quarter good work had been done. In recognition of her services as chalrman of the committee in charge of the social exercises during the past three months the young ladies associated with her on the committee presented to Mrs. M. J. Frear a beautiful bouquet,in acknowledg- ment of which the surprised recipient made a feeling resporse. The lodge received with much satisfaction the information that Mrs. J. H. Gore has consented to deliver her “Talk on Sweden” at the Lutheran Memorial Church on the 15th instant. The award by the District Lodge of a prize ban- ner to the subordinate lodge making the greatest proportionate gain in membership during the present quarter has awakened dormant energies within each of the six Icdges in District No. 3. Past Grand Chief Templar A. H. Frear installed the following corps of officers: Chief templar, W. S. McCollam, vice temp- lar, Miss Emma Lowell; secretary, Thos. W. Piper; financial secretary, Miss Kate Swearingen; treasurer, Mrs. Elizabeth Bry- son; superintendent juvenile templars, Mrs. Alma Lyons; chaplain, Miss Myra Davis; marshal, Mr. N. E: Vowles; deputy mar- hal, Miss Meade “Homodle; guard, Wm. Turner; sentinel, W. ingsbury, and past chief templar, Prof.:A.L. Ogle. The social exercises were unger direction of Miss Ema Lowell, and embraced vocal solo by Percy Barker; selected reading by Mrs. Alma Lyons; vocal solo,Jno. M. McAvoy of Star of Hope Lodge; original poem by } E. Vowles; vocal solo by Mrs. Ella Kal strom; remarks by Mr? Geo. W. Choate. recitation by Prof. Ogle; vocal solo, Mrs. M. C. Gury; violin solo by Prof. Ogle, ac- companied by Miss Edith Bond, and ad- dresses by Chief Templar McCollam. One of ihe nest. Charles H. Fantroy, a colored man, who has been wearing the padge of a special policeman, has beer) deprived of his badge and sent to jail. The cause of this action on the part of the police and Judge Miller is the fact that because of the police au- thority he had he “protected” a crap game. Fantroy has been in the employ of the Chris. Heurich Brewing Company as watch- man, and recently he has been conducting a series of crap games in the stable be- hind closed doors. Saturday night about 10 clock there was a game in progrese and one lantern furnished light by which the players were able to count the spots on the “bones.” Sergt. Keefe and Policemen Hanley and Quinlan surprised the crap shooters when they entered the stable, and the men, about fifty in number, rushed for the doors and windows, but all of them did not escape. The officers arrested Fantroy and captur- ed witnesses enough to convict the watch- man when the case was tried today. Fantroy cut the game, so several wit- nesses said, and one of them said that the “rake down” was spent for beer. “You're a fine special policeman,” re- marked Judge Miller, who imposed a sen- tence of five days in jail in addition to a fine of $20 or sixty days. — Funeral of Theodore McCauley. The funeral of the late Theodore F. Me- Cauley of East Washington, who died of typhoid fever, at Rome, Italy, the Sth of last month, took place from his late resi- dence, 218 B street southeast, Saturday af- ternoon. The services were conducted by the Rev. Gilbert F. Williams, pastor of Christ's Church, the funeral being very largely attended. The remains were inter- red in Congressional cemetery, the pail- bearers being Messrs. Adam Gaddis, John Herrell, L. A. Delling, R. W. Dunn and Mr. OLer, all of Naval Lodge, No. 4, F. A. A M., of which Mr. McCauley was a member. Se Lively Runaway Las: evening about 7:30 o'clock a horse attached to a buggy owned by Dr. Custis of 110 East Capitol street ran away on East Capitol street. The vehicle was thrown against a tolegraph pole and de- molished. Samuel Belt and Lawrence Ball were in the buggy, and the latter was slightly injured. —_~—__. Struck by a Car. Yesterday afternoon William Burch of 1310 N street was struck by a cable car at Pennsylvania avenue and 5th street south- east and slightly injured. He got off an eastbound car in front of a moving train on the westbound track. The injured man was taken to the home of his grandson, Mr. Baldwin, 603 North Carolina avenue. eS.

The horror of fhe ’Emanuel Baptist Church murders at’ Sah Francisco a few weeks ago resulted’ in ‘the suicide of one morbidly sensitive yguth, and now the dis- appearante of a young-girl is ascribed to the same cause. Stella Hughes, daughter rial. of Capt. Hughes of Oakland, is about twenty-two years ojd, nather dark and at- tractive. Last Thursday she went out s with hee sister. She asked her to go out to Baker’s beach, near al Rocks, which she could not .d6. The young lady went alone. She has not been supposed that the ac- counts of the church murder deranged her mind and caused her to leap inio the ocean, Se The Halt-Bregd Revolt. A Rolla, N. D., special dispatch says: The hali-treed rising has been squeiched, and without loss of life. Marshals came Saturday from St. John in consequence of information received that an attempt might be made to rescue Laspele Langen, who was arrested Saturday noon. Pickets ‘¢ left on duty all night, but no aitempt w made. Deputies were astir soon afier daybreak. Marshal Cyonan having de- cided that further inducing a effort at speacedul surrender was misplaced and de- termined if they would not gurrender their fort at Langans to storm if. In this they were successful. GREEN TO BE TRIED. Police Board to Look Into Killing of Reuben Foster. Policeman Adwin W. Green, who shot and killed Reuben Foster, colored, in Hillsdale on the 4th of March, is to be brought to trial at last. This is the result of the ac- tion of members of the colored Baptist Preachers’ Union in filing charges against the officer with the Commissioners. Officer Green, as is well known, was exonerated and released by the coroner’s jury and two grand juries have failed to indict him. Upon the failure of the second grand jury to indict the officer the Baptist ministers concluded to take the case before the Com- missioners, which they did. A lengthy written document setting forth the facts in the case from the ministers’ standpoint, was filed and, in conclusion, they asked that the officer be tried for violating the rules of the manual. Thé ministers referred to the provision of the manual, and the Commissioners, after considering the matter, referred the com- plaint to Major Moore, with instructions to file charges against the officer. The charge, which is not under oath, reads as follows: The Charge. : “That A. W. Green, a private of class 2 of the metropolitan police force, District of Columbia, did on or about the 4th day of March, 1895, without the occurrence of any serious disturbance, in a case which was not urgent, jeopardize the lives of innocent parties and wantonly disregard and take the life of one Reuben Foster, by the care- less use of his revolver for the purpose of Intimidation, all to the discredit of the metropolitan police department and in vio- lation of paragraph 57 of the rules and regulations governing the metropolitan po- lice force of the District of Columbia. This while on duty i the District of Columbia.” Paragraph 57 of the manual mentioned in the charge provides: “On the occurrence of a serious disturb- ance it is the first duty of the police, if pessible, to restore quiet by moderate ef- forts or persuasion, and to disperse the crowd. If these fail, the offenders must be dispersed by force and the principals there- in arrested. “The revolver in the hands of the mem- bers of the force shall not be used, except in the most urgent cases, and in such man- ner that the lives of innocent parties may not be jeopardized thereby. “Wanton disregard of life by an officer, in the careless use of a revolver, will sub- ject him to removal from the force.” Trial on Wednesdny. The charge was made out Saturday and sent to Lieut. McCathran, in whose pre- cinet Green does duty, and a copy of the charge was served on the officer. Wednesday morning the accused officer will be called before the police trial board, which is composed of Capt. Austin and Lieuts. Swindells and Heffner. The officer will probably be represented by Lawyers C. Maurice Smith and John A. Moss, and the latter will also appear on the witness stand and give evidence for his client. As usual, the hearing will be behind closed doors, and the public will be given as much of the evidence as the “Mystic Three” see fit to give. Counsel fer the officer, it is thought, will claim that the trial beard has not the right to hear the case, as the officer's con- duct has been three times investigated, and he has not been held legally responsible for what he did. A number of witnesses will be examined in the case, including a number of persons who have been interested in the investiga- ticn. —__ ALEXANDRIA AFFAIR: National Guard Still Waiting to Be Called Ont. 2 The Old Dominion Base -Ball Team of this city defeated a team composed of the employes of the Southeran railroad Sat- urday afternoon by a score of 13 to 1. ‘The Old Dominions play the first nine of the Episcopal High School tomorrow even- ing on the latter's grounds, and it is ex- pected that a iarge number of Alexandri- ans will witness the game.

Mushback received an- other telegram from Col..Nalle yesterday afternoon saying that nothing new had transpired at the scene of the strike in scuthwestern Virginia, but to continue to hold his men in readiness to leave at a moment's notice. The excitement yester- day and last night was very great, ani many members of the Alexandria Light In- fantry sat up all night, expecting to be call- ed out at any moment. Bishop F. M. Whittle, D.

Mr, ‘William Nyman, a clerk in the Post Office Department, was badly* burned about the face and hands yesterday morn- ing by an explosion of gasoline. The ac- cident occurred at the residence of Mr. Nyman’s brother, at Chevy Chase, where he makes his home. The unfortunate man was engaged at the time in cleaning a pair of trousers with gasoline. He had poured about a quart of the inflammable fluid into a basin and was working with it, when in some way a match was ignited and the explosion ensued. It is supposed that a mztch dropped from a pocket onto the floor unseen ang was stepped upon. There was a loud report, which brought assist- ance at once to the suffering man, and the flames were extinguished before they had spread to any extent. ‘The explosion. did considerable damage to€the walls and fur- niture of the house. The accident occa- sioned a great deal of excitement jn the neighborhood, and the first reports were that the man had been Killed and the house completely wrecked. The accident was bad enough, but it was not as serious as all that. eee To Be Edited by Women.
