now Mrs Bywaters while she was in this city Is yet to be determined according to a statement made yesterday bv Assistant District Attorney Harvey Given The question said he is properly one for police investigation That Is the usual channel through which complaints of such a character would come to the office of the district attorney and then this office would determine on its line of action No Complaint Received Of course any one interested could make a formal complaint to the office and thus the matter could be brought to us officially Up to the present time we have received no report from the police and no formal complaint This office knows no more than has been published in the papers as to matters brought out at the inquest into the death of Bywaters Conrad Grieb proprietor of the

to treat Mrs Bywaters professionally after the operation had been performed She was in a serious condition lie said Admitted Their Identity Bywaters and the girl admitted their identity and when he suggested that they marry they declared that it was their intention to do so According to Dr Walter Bywaters and Miss Strother were most devoted By waters he said apparently was much attached to his mother and made frequent trips to Culpeper to see her while Miss Strother was 111 here at the hotel Miss Strother told him said Dr Walter that Bywaters was the only man she had ever loved and Bywaters made protestations of great affection for the girl In Dr Walters opinion Bywaters was anxious to postpone the marriage because he was short of cash Bywaters told Dr Walter the latter said that he had been defeated for the office of treasurer of Culpeper County but he expected to be elected the next time and would then be on his feet financially Miss Strother told him he said that she expected to get some money from her fathers estate Dr Walter said also that he had never received a cent for his services to Miss Strother Dr William Walter with offices at 487 street southwest has been subjected to considerable annoyance oecause a Dr Walter has been mentioned in connection with the Bywaters case There has been no allegation that Dr William Walter had anything to do with the case SUBURBS BEING

the past year said President A Lawson at the meeting of the Northeastern Citizens Suburban Association in the Pathfinder building at Langdon last night Hardly any of our requests have been refused he continued Mr Lawsons words were due to the reading of several communications from the Commissioners in which it was stated that as a result of the associations petitions estimates would be made for a chemical engine company to be placed In the community and that estimates would also be made for the addition of four rooms to the Langdon School A third letter from the association for a water system

Reports to Congress Proposed System to Keep Record of Americans Living Abroad Provides They Most Register Once a Tear Hits at Rich Men Who Reside Beyond Seas CITYS GROWTH RAPID Directory for 190T Will Contain 142000 Names 20000 MORE THAN THIS YEAR Big Book Shortly to Be Issued by Andrew Boyd Will Be Practical Demonstration of Greater Washington Government Clerks Number 28000 More Than 100000 Residents Colored Evidence that the Greater Washington is on its way to realization Is furnished by the Washington City Directory for 1907 published by Andrew Boyd which will show an increase of approximately 20000 names over that of last year The directory which is still unfinished will not be Issued until the middle of January but the work has progressed to the point where an estimate of the population can be based upon the returns already made The name John King invariably appears about half way through a city directory said Mr Boyd who has published more city directories than any other man in the country In all my experience I have never known this name to be farther thn a few hundred names from the middle of the book We are always Expatriated women have received a large share of the attention of thi special commission on naturalization expatriation and passports which reported to Congress yesterday A revolution In the present code of laws under these headings is proposed and ample means are provided for the American widow or divorcee to regain a place under the American flag Under no circumstances would the commission put a hardship on such women as Mme Gould or the Duchess of Marlborough to prevent them from regaining their American citizenship if they make application within one year after they have parted from their foreign husbands The same privileges are to be extended to widows Such a renaturalization will have the effect of naturalizing minor children born under other flags and In the case of the Castellane boys would bring about an interesting situation should the former Anna Gould decide to come to America to live and take up allegiance to Uncle Sam Members of Commission The special commission included Dr David Jayne Hill Minister to the Netherlands James Scott solicitor of the State Department and Galllard Hunt chief of the passport bureau of the State Department If the recommendations of the commission are followed It will also have a discouraging effect upon rich Americans living abroad and enjoying the protection of the United States while spending their American made money in European capitals Nor will such types of ex AmericansAmericans as William Waldorf Astor be put to the trouble of declaring the United States is a bloomin blarsted country tloncherknow and renouncing their citizenship AW they Will have to do Is to stay away for four years and Uncle Sam will expatriate them Check on Immigration In a way the proposed new system of keeping tab on wandering citizens will act as a check on the immigration of foreigners to the United States who come over here and stay only long enough to get under the wing of the American eagle and then go back to their native land and demand special privileges because of the fact they are American citizens The Armenians Germans and Poles have caused the State Department no end of trouble in demanding protection A plan for keeping an accurate record of Americans living abroad is provided for All Americans living outside of this country are to be required to register with an American consular officer at least once a year Passports for Near citirens The commission suggests that the Secretary of State should be authorized to extend protection and grant passports to persons who have declared thair intention of becoming American citizens but that in the book by taking the number which I ch Passport should not be effective in appear before John King is reached and doubling it This year 70840 names appear before that of John King and we are able the country

with Care The canvass for 1S07 has been made with great care and we have been able to secure better results than ever before Last year a number of apartment houses refused to furnish lists but this year we have secured names from practically all of them The Government Printing Office country when they engage In the serv ice of another power or when they remain domiciled in a foreign country for five years without taking steps to maintain their American citizenship The commission would have passports issued for only two years with permission to extend them an additional two years In conclusion the report recommends that all diplomatic officers of the unitea etaies De instructed to open regctlatlons with the foreign govern has furnished uj the names of its em ments to which they are accredited pre ployes which has been a great help and paiatory to perfecting treaty relations in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing has also sent us a list of its workers Fully 28000 names In the new directory are those of Uncle Sams employes Probably one fourth of the citys population is dependent upon the wages paid by the government The directory figures show that Washington has the largest colored populatian of any city in the country More than 100000 of its residents are negroes Houses Fill Rapidly One fact has been strikingly evidenced ty our canvass said Mr Boyd and that is that there are fewer vacant houses in the city than ever before They are occupied as soon as completed The apartment houses too fill with amazing rapidKy It is difficult to estimate the population from the number of names in the directory for this varies in different cities In New York for instance the number Is one fifth of the total population In Washington it has formerly been estimated at one third of the population but it is probable that considerably more tha one third of the total number of Washlng tonians appear in the pages of the new directory By use of the multiple three a population of about 425000 would be shown but ro serious claim is made that the Inhabitants of the National Capital ap proxlmate that figure WILSON HELD RESPONSIBLE harmony with the legislation
