-4 . .C.FGALSHED NOTU S Sargent Files Opinions of Predecessors at Request of House Committee. Severad opinions of preceding At torneys General of the (inited States holding in effect that the District of Columbia is a municipal corporation distinct from the Federal Government, and that its officials and employes do not come within certain United States statutes, were submitted today to the subcommittee on judiciary the House, which is handling the Fenning impeachment charges, by General Sargent "The citations were furnished at the raquest of the committee, to be used in its consideration of what it consid ers the primary question of law in the present case-—that is, whether or not Commissioner Fenning comes within the impeachment power of Congress. Representative Rankin of Missis &ippi, acting as the proponent of the Fenning charges since Mr. Blanton of Texas left town. has been given an extension until midnight tonight in | which (o file his brief in reply to that of counsel for Commissioner Fenning. Mr. Rankin said that he had com pleted his brief, but that it would re- quire some time for the stenographers 10 complete its preparation, and that he will have it at the Government Printing Office tonight to be present- cd in the Congressional Record tomor- row morning. The original time limit given Mr. Rankin for filing the brief expired at noon today. Number of Opinions. A number of opinions of Atorneys General on the question of hte status of the District and its officials were cited in the brief filed by counsel for Mr. Fenning Monday. General today. One of the most important of them was that of former Attorney General A. H. Garland, dealing with the case involving an assistant corporation counsel of the District of Columbia. In that case it was held that the Dis- trict of Columbia is a corporate agent through which the United States ad ministers certain executive functions over the locality, which includes the National Capital, and the chiet execu tice authority is vested in three com- missioners. 1t was specitically held in this opinion that an assistant District | corporation counsel was not a Federal | official because of his connection with the municipal government and there- fore did not come within prohibitory statutes affecting Federal employes. Another_opinion by former General Griggs held that officers and employes of the District of Columbia were not officers and employes of the general Government of the United States, but of a municipal corpora- tlon known as the District of Colum hia. Such officers and employes, ac- cording to this opinion, are as dis tinct trom the United States Civil| Service as would be the officers of any city government in one of the States of the Union from the civil service of that State itself. At that time it was held that the civil service act of Janu ary 16. 1883, cannot be lawfully ap- plied to officers and emploves of the District of Columbia In an opinion by former Attorney General George W. Wickersham. re- lating to the transfer of the office of recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia to the control of the De- partment of Justice, it was said that whatever may be the true nature of the District of Columbia in some acts at least it constitutes a separate .po- Htical community and by reason thereof its strictly municipal functions are in a sense to be distinguished trom those that belong solely to the opera tions of the general Government. | Will Bear Some Weight. | On the other side of the question! there is another ruling by Mr. Wick-| ersham in which it was held that commissioners of deeds of the Dis. | trict of Columbia are prohibited, un der the District criminal code, from acting as agents or attorneys in the prosecution of pension claims against The United States. He ruled that such | officials were Federal officials | While none of the opinions bears strictly on the point which must be decided by the committee, it was pointed out that of course their weight would be taken into consid- eration on the matter of law involved in determining whether the House has the authority to impeach a Dis- trict Commissioner. It is further pointed out that the opinions of the Attorney General do not carry the weight of court decisions. which may, 10 some extent, effect their considera. tion. Finds Mother Dead.

Kidwell, 78 years, 1520 W street, Anacostia, was found dead in bed shortly after 6 o'clock this morning by her son, Poilceman John Kidwell of the eleventh precinct, with whom she had resided since the death of her husband a number | of vears ago.

Phone Main 989 THE EVE | CITIZENS PROTEST REZONING PROJECT Ask Commission to Delay Ac- tion in Area Near Ameri- can University. Postponement of actlon on a pr posal to rezone a large territory lying hetween American University and the District Line from first commercial C area to residential A area, with provisions for a commercial island in its center, was urged by Hugh M. Frampton, president of the Cathedral Helghts Citizens' Asociation, at a | public hearing of the zoning commis- slon today in the boardroom of the District Building. The property involved in the pro- posed change abuts both sides of Massachusetts avenue between Forty- seventh street and the District line, except the frontage on Massachusetts avenue between Warren and Forty- ninth streets. The proposed commer- cial C zone would be created by re zoning the residential A restricted property bounded by Warren street, Forty-eighth street, Forty-ninth street and Yuma street. Albert E. Walker, representing the Loughborough Development Corpora- tion, which owns 163 acres of the property, told the commission that plans had been made for its early development and expressed the hope that the commission would act on the proposed change without delay. ‘Want to Study Plans. Mr. Frampton explained that the residents in the community affected by the proposed change held a mass meeting last night and delegated him to appear before the commission and request that action on the application for rezoning be deferred “until they get together and plan a comprehen- sive, systematic and sensible scheme for developing the entire section.” Opposition to a proposal to rezone from residential to first commercial property abutting both sides of N street between Fourteenth and Fif- teenth streets was voiced by Dora Palkin, 1448 N street, who also repre- sented a group of property owners on the block. Ieonard A. Block. attor- ney for the applicant for the change, pointed out that the property. al- though now zoned residential, is in effect a commercial zone, as there are located on the block a dancing acad emy, a modiste, a chiropractor, a no- tary public, a boarding house for girls, and in the rear of one house a light manufacturing plant is operated. Rezoning Proposal Backed. W. S. Fitch and E. B. Hancock ap- peared in support of a proposal to re- zone from first commercial to residen- tial property abutting the east side of Eighteenth street northeast be- tween Newton and Otis streets. They opposed, however, the buflding of a store on one corner of the block, but Engineer J. Franklin Bell, chairman of the commission, explained that a per mit had been granted for the erection of the busineess establishment and that it could not be withdrawn in the event the property is rezoned. Nine other proposed changes in zon- ing also are on the commi calendar for consideration today among them an application to rezone trom 90 to 110 foot height area prop- erty abutting both sides of |between Seventeenth and Eighteenth streets, except the property abutting Seventeenth street. It is understood that the applicant for this change plans to build a large office structure on the street. Capt. Herbert Whitehurst, who suc- ceeded Mal. Ravmond A. Wheeler as Assistant District Engineer Commis- sioner in charge of zoning, sat in for the first time on a public hearing. and took an active part in the proceedings MARINE DECLARES SLAYING UNINTENDED Corpl. John Kulick of the Marine Corpe testified today in his own de- fense before a jury in Criminal Di- vision 2. He Is on trial on an in- dictment charging him with murder in the first degree in connection with the killing of Pvt. John Ban November § last, at the Marine Barracks, when the private disputed his order to get out of bed. Kulick was assigned to wake the 300 marines that morning and ‘got into a dis- pute with Ban. ‘The accused told the jury that the shooting was unintentional and that his pistol exploded when he attempt- ed to strike the private on the shoulder with the weapon after Ban had struck him on the jaw. Kulick sald Ban refused when he told him to get up from the bed. The cor- poral pulled the covers down, but Ban replaced them. The corporal then attempted to turn_him out by upsetting the bunk, but Ban hit him and shoved him to the wall, he stated. Kulick then drew his gun, with the intention as ex plained, and declared he was sur- prised that the weapon was fired. When he found Ban had been injured he aided and called others to assist him. NG STAR. WASHINGTON, AMERICAN CONSU D. . THURSDAY, L’S CLEVER RUSE SAVED AMOY TO CHINA Johnson Got British to Enter on Heels of Japanese. Paid Off Native Troops, Then Got Both By the Associated Press. PEKING, June 17.—How an American consul, fearing that the partition of China was threatened after the Boxer uprising in 1900, maneuvered to save Amoy, its finest southern port, for China, has been told here by Capt. “Tom” (T. C.) Hutchins, erstwhile naval attache to Peking. The intimate story, never before published, discloses that American silver dollars averted a mutiny of Chinese troops, caused the execution of some Chinese outlaws, effected the evacuation by the Japanese of the island of Kulangsu through a ruse in which the British consul participated, and. finally, brought into being the present day international settlement in South China's great harbor. The account shows the practical na- ture of America’s friendship for China and reveals the resourceful methods amployed by an American consul—A. Burlingame Johnson—to befriend the ancient empire at a critical time. U. S. Declines Island. China out of gratitude offered to make America a gift of the island of Kulangsu, but the United States de- clined. China’'s gratitude then took the form of decorating Consul John- son with the order *‘Double Dragon of the Rising Sun.” He now is a mem- ber of the California State Senate, having retired after nearly twenty Capt. Hutchins said that in the vears in_the consular service. vear of the Boxer uprising similar dis utrbances were occurring in southern China, but on a smaller scale. Serious trouble threatened forelgn commerce in Amoy. The Japanese, having acquired the island of Formosa, landed a detachment of marines and blue- jackets on the mainland. Formal pro- tests were made to the Japanese con- sul and to the senfor Japanese naval officer that the landing was unneces- sary and an infringement of China's cights, but the Japanese stayed on. Thereupon the British and American consuls put their heads together. Johnson suggested to Rear Admiral Henderson of the British navy and British Consul Mansfield that the land marines on the Bund adjacent to the Japanese, thus complicating the nternational problem. Johnson would file a protest similar to that he and the British had made to the Japanese | landing, then trust to complications | arising which would render it advis- able for both to withdraw. British Land Troops. e British landed marines. They hoisted the Union Jack just across the street from the Japanese and dragged field pieces to points of vantage. Then the American consul protested, re- celving from the British the reply that Japan had made, namely, that the Chinese government had lost control there was no central government at Peking; it was necessary to protect nationals. Neither Johnson nor the British be. Armies to Leave Port. lieved there was any breakdown of local authority, and both thought the Japanese landing was in anticipation of the partition of China. Amoy was the finest harbor in south China, nearest to Manila, and hence John- son's anxiety that this harbor be not alienated. g Peking was in the hands of the Boxers, the legation just emerging from a long siege; the Emperor and Dower Empress were refugees. Still the American consul protested there was no disorder in the city war- ranting the presence of either Japan- ese or British troops. But the ruse nearly went awry. Chinese troops garrisoned there were on the verge of mutiny because their pay was in arrears. Consul Johnson was popular with Chinese officials. They confided to him that unless they could produce Immediately $40.000 to pay the troops they would mutiny and loot the city. Johnson deliberated; then assured the Chinese officials he would provide the tunds if certain peace and order would be maintained. Silk Stores Looted. The following night some Chinese silk stores were looted, but the looters were caught. The officials reported Lo Johnson these arrests as evidence of the potency of the Chinese govern- ment of the region. Johnson directed the matter be kept secret until after the outlaws were executed. He de- manded that the execution take place at sunrise next morning. At sunup troops, prisoners head men assembled for the execution, but at a signal the soldiers threw down thelr arms, refusing to proceed unless their arrears of pay were forthcoming. It was feared they would join the looters. The American consul hastened to the scene and pledged the unruly soldiers he would bring their money to the Yamen. The outlaws were beheaded and their heads swung on poles. with placards proclaiming the crime and warning others to beha Johnson drew on the Secretary of State for $40,000, which he received in silver dollars. He spent hours divid- ing the money into sacks of $100 each and that night supervised its delivery to the Chinese militar: Then he called a consular confer- ence and reiterated that the troops were not necessary since order was being maintained. ~ He cited the exe cution as evidence. The British promptly agreed to investigate and, if warranted, have the British force withdrawn, providing the .Japanese marines were. A few weeks later both British and Japanese troops were removed simultaneously. Some months later the Chinese authorities refund- ed the $40,000 and made the offer of the island of Kulangsu. The Me- Kinley administration declined to ac cept it and suggested it be set aside as an international concession under consular control. Kulangsu has since remained an international settlement. and COURT UPHOLDS WILL | Widow of Former Georgetown Law School Official Left Most to Brother.
