THREE ALARMS OF FIRE.
Damage Amounting to $3.50 in Or
Case-One False Summons.

Damage Amounting to $3.50 in One
Case-One False Summons.
Three fire alarms were turned in last
night between and II o'clock, one of the
fires causing about $3.50 damage In the
case Of the second there was blaze in a
chimney, while the third call proved to
have been q false one. The first of the
three was received from box $50 few min
utes after o'clock, summoning the fire de-
partment to the house of David Bailey, 171S
A street northeast 1t was impossible for
the police to determine what started the
blaze. The Bailey home was totally de-
stroyed and the occupants Of the house
sought shelter elsewhere.
When the fire was discovered the resi-
dents Of that section turned out in the
rain to assist in saving the household ef-
fects Of the Bailey family, but were unable
to do much. the blaze having completely
enveloped the structure in remarkably
short time. Baileys loss in household goods
Is about $50. The loss Is not covered by in
surance.
About $50 o'clock several companies OF
the fire departing went to house No.
Dupont circle in response to alarm. The
firemen found that there was a blaze In
the chimney at the home of DR.. Charles
H. James, which was eXtinguished before
any damage had been caused.
A few minutes before II o'clock the fire
department made useless run to the vi
entity of LIST and N streets southeast, where
a false alarm had been turned in from
box 531. The firemen remained there only
long enough to learn that there was no
fire. The police reserves from the fifth
precinct made an investigation Of the at
fair before they returned to the station, but
made no discovery of Importance.

APPEAL NOTED.
Harry Walsky Denies That He Sold
LIQUOR to Minor.

Holding him responsible for the delin-
quency of Elijah Franklin, a boy twice
convicted before the Juvenile Court on Of
lenses involving intoxication, Judge De
Lacy yesterday imposed a fine of 500 on
Harry Walsky, who runs a wholesale
liquor establishment at 1910 7th street
northwest. An appeal was taken from the
decision of the judge and Walsky gave
bond in the sum of $500 pending the argu-
ment on the appeal.
The previous day, Elijah Franklin, de-
PENDANT before the court, stated on the
witness stand that he had purchased liquor
at Mr.. Walsky's place nseveral occa-
sions. When this fact was disclosed, Judge
De Lacy instructed the officer to get a
warrant for Mr.. Walsky. Franklip, as the
chief government witness, made the same
statements yesterday. and William Snow
den, a friend, told of going with FEank-
lin to the store and of seeing Franklin
get whisky there.
In Defense the defendant and his
brother, who works in the store, testified
that they never had seen Franklin in the
store or sold him any liquor.
The conviction of Walsky on the charge
preferred is regarded as important. Should
this ruling of Judge DeLAcy be sustained
by the higher court. it will assure an eff
fectual law against selling liquor to- minors,
according to the opinion of lawyers.

Steps will be taken. 1t is added, to break
the will in order that the two children NAV
be provided for. The point on which Mrs
Bradleys attorneys will base their case to
obtain a share of the estate is that Brown
own during his life. This may result in a
substantial award to them. Brown during
his life was one of the foremost champions
of law recently passed in Utah which pro-
vides that an illegitimate child shall be the
legal heir to the father. While the law was
enacted to protect the children of the plural
wives among the Mormons, it has bear
ing on the cases of Gentiies.

The so-called Knights of Labor who have
sought to intervene in the contest between
the master plumbers and the journeymen

been practically eliminated from the con-
troversy. This action was taken at meet
Ing Of the board Of arbitration, Of which
Judge Peelle is the umpire member, at its
meeting yesterday afternoon in the George
town University Law School.
1t is stated that when the trouble be-
tween the masters and journeymen plumb
ers had reached an acute stage the non
union plumbers. who are said to have been
employed as strikebreakers, decided to form
an assembly Of Knights of Labor, This ac-
ton was taken and when the decision was

cation was made in behalf Of the knights
to be represented. Mr.. Stuart Mcnamara,
attorney for the journeymen plumbers. OBJ
tected to their being parties In the arbitra-
ton, and as the applicants had to obtain
the consent of both the original bodies, they
were turned down. Mr.. Mcnamara made q
brief opening statement for the tourneymen
plumbers. outlining what they expected to
prove. and saying that the master plumb
ers had broken the contract entered into
about three years ago by the lockout.
In reply Mr.. j. 8. Easby-Smith, counsel
for the master plumbers, asserted that the
journeymen had broken the contract many
times. He explained that the lockout had
been declared by the employers because
the workmen had violated the provisions OF
the compact they had entered into with
the master plumbers.
The first witness called was Mr.. James s.
OHagan, secretary of the plumbers local
union. He testified as to the relations ex-
listing between the two bodies and the cor
