| tanned at police headquarters, with the
| blanket charge of murder opposite his

affair. said she first discovered Gala

| in a bureau drawer. She said she called
her husband. who procured a revolver,
and the shooting followed.
| An element of mystery in connection
with the case, according to the au-
thorties, who are investigating the
killing, lies in their inability at this
time to explain the reason for Call
laway being in the apartment at that
hour. Louis Carhart. twenty-five years

his mother. was an intimate friend of
| Galloway. The son now is in Jack :

given Galloway a key to the apart
ment or whether Galloway had per-
sonal papers or effects in Louis room.

BRYAN C0NFERS

Latter Gets Federal Views on
Building Submarines for
BeIIigerents.

Secretary Bryan today invited Charles
NJ. Schwab. president Of the Bethlehem
Steel Company, to the State Depart
ment and gave him the views Of the
American government on the building
of submarines in this country for Eu-
ropean belligerents.
Mr. Bryan declined to disclose what
was the position Of the American gov
eminent. He declared the question was
not yet concluded. but under consid-
Grafton" Mr.. Schwab. accompanied by
two assistants, also refused to discuss
their mission.
Mr. Schwab came" said Mr.. Bryan,
"in response to our inquiry concerning
the manufacture in this country OF
ships or materials for shipbuilding,'
First Official Cognizance.
Recent reports that the Bethlehem
Steel Company had contracted to build
submarines, which would be shipped
abroad in sections. have been variously
denied and partly confirmed.
The visit of Mr.. Schwab, however. re-
vealed that the state Department hao
taken official cognizance of the subject,
although Secretary Bryan announced
yesterday that government agents,
after a thorough Investigation; nao
been unable to learn that any work was
being done anywhere in this country IN
the construction of foreign warsh1ps or
parts thereof.
1t was believed, however, that tne
state Department desired to consult
the steel company officials so there
would be no violation of neutrality II
contracts were taken
Fitting Out Warships Prohibited.
While the export of munitions of war
such as guns. shells. or ammunition, is
not prohibited by the neutrality laws,
the fitting out of warships or any
armed expedition from American soil
would be considered a violation.
During the Russo-Japanese war,
however. an American firm built the
parts of several submarines, consigned
sold them to the Russian government
Although the transaction was kept
secret until the shipment was conclud-
ed, it was generally held at that time
that no law had been violated.

KENYON LAW ATTACKED
IN A COURT PETITION
Compartments Allege Its Penalties
Are Excessive and Conflict With
Constitution.

The constitutionality of the Kenyon
red light" law is attacked today by
Kate Willard Boyd, Henry K. Willard
and George E. Howe, trustees OF the
estate of Caleb C. Willard. which owns
the property known as the Ardmore
Hotel. on 18th street below f street.
Through Attorneys Hoehling, Peelle
6, Ogilby the trustees asked the court
to dismiss the proceedings for alleged
nuisance brought. on behalf of the
United States against Franklin c.
Jackson. proprietor of the hotel, and
the trustees as owners of the building
for alleged violation of the Kenyon
law.
Insist Law Is Void,
The trustees allege that the red light
law Is void because it imposes upon the
owners a penalty as well as the taking
OF their property without compensation
for the alleged act or acts of a tenant
who is and was not in any sense the
agent of the owners, and for acts COM
mitted without the knowledge or consen,
of the landlord. who omitted no legal
duty or committed no wrong The
trustees also point out that the owners
had no control over the tenant.
The penalties authorized to be i'm
posed under the law, it is urged, are
unreasonable, arbitrary, unusual and
excessive" and amount to a virtual
confiscation of property =
Constitution Is Invoked.
They are also deprived by the act, the
trustees assert, of due process of law
in that the act authorizes the imposi
ton of a penalty and the taking of the
property of owners without affordine
a trial by jury or day in court, since
the forbidden act. committed by ten
ant. in no sense their agent, and with
out their knowledge or consent. l:
made conclusive justification and war
rant for imposing penalty of $500 ant
costs and the closing of the propert!
for one year This provision, it i:
claimed. contravenes- the prohibition
of the Constitution against bills of at
tainder-"
case by United States Attorney Laskey
and Assistant United States Attorney
laws. Arguments on the motion to dis
miss will be heard before Justice Nc
Gov later in the month.

POOR K|DD|ES OF CITY
WILL SEE SANTA CLAUS
And They Will Get Presents From
Huge Christmas
Tree.

Four thousand poor children of Wash
ington are going to have big Christ
mas surprise this year.
That part of the city's Juvenile popu-
lation which might otherwise share to
very limited extent in the Yuletide
activities is to be invited to a big
Christmas tree and entertainment at
foli $ Theater. Each child Will be given
a bag of candy, toy and chance TO
shake hands with Santa Claus
Plans for the event, which is to be in
the nature of a community Christmas
celebration, are being made by Louis
j. Fosse. manager of the theater.
Those Who Will Aid.
Those who are to courthouse to the
philanthropy are $. Il. Poll. who will
furnish the tree and a present for each
child: local candy dealer, whose name
has not yet been announced. who will
provide the candy donations; members
of the Poll company, who will stage
Christmas playlet for the entertain
ment of the young folks and Henry r,
Smith, leader of the Poll orchestra. who
is now engaged in writing special mu-
sic for the playlet.
Manager Fosse is making arrange
ments to obtain large tree. which
stage. This will be brilliantly lighted
with electrical effects and will contain
the gifts which Old Santa himself will
hand out to the children. The enter
tainment will begin promptly at 10
O'Clock Christmas morning and last
until noon.
Just how the invitations are to be
issued Is a problem that has not yet
been worked out. but Manager Fosse
is determined that they shall go only
into the most deserving families In
order to provide Christmas merriment
for as large number of poor children
as possible. standing room will be util-
lied and the smallest children will be
placed two in a seat In this way IL
Is believed that fully 1000 children
can be accommodated.
Players Show Interest.
The Poll Players are taking a great
interest in the plans for the event, and
the playlet, for which the music is
being specially written by Mr. Smith
should greatly delight the youthful
audience.
It is probable that Manager Fosse
will be assisted by a committee OF
woman civic workers. who will aid in
decorating the tree and otherwise as
sist in the philanthropy.

CAPITAL GIVES $500
FOR BELGIAN RELIEF
Money Will Be Expended for Pur-
chase of Flour at Mill
Prices.

Washington is to be largely repre-
scented in the two shiploads Of 10000
barrels of flour that are to be sent this
week to Belgium. consigned to the
American minister in Brussels, Brand
whitlock. 1t was decided by the pur-
chasing committee of the District OF
Columbia relief committee, with head
o,a rters in the Cripps building. 425 18th
street northwest, to send $500 to Will
liam C. Edgar, editor of the Bellman
and the Northwestern Miller, who Is
personally to have charge OF this ship
mont Of flour, to be expended at mill
prices for the -four.
These shiploads of flour are under the
nrotection of the American, English,
Dutch and German governments; me
latter has promised that the IoooetuHs
will not be molested. but allowed to
% directly to the people Of Belgium.
By Joining in this -four ship the WASH
;neton committee saved about SO per
cent Of the cost of the flour.
Prefer Coarser Flour.
On the advice of Charles I. Corby.
who has himself been miller in Bel
eium. it was found that the Belgians
prefer a coarser flour for their bread
than that ordinarily milled in the
United States. The mills of the north
west are boiling a supply. OF this
coarser flour at a reduced price.
Contributors all over the United
States have been requested to send any
-four donated in forty nine-pound cot
ton sacks. The reasons are threefold:
First-It helps the cotton market 10
use them instead Of jutes. Second-A
forty -nine-pound sack is convenient for
ultimate distributions; a man or
woman can easily carry one, or it can
be conveyed in a dog wagon such as
the Belgians use. Third-After the
flour has been eaten the cotton sack can
be used by the women as a shirt or
waist. 1t therefore performs double
