NO CHARGES FILED HERE
AGAINST MAI. HENRY
Criticism of That Officers Conduct
at Havre Thought Due to Excite
ment of Women.

If any charges have been filed by re-
turning American refugees against Maj.
Morton J. Henry of the Quartermaster
Corps, now in Paris engaged In the meas
ures for the relief of Americans, they
have not reached the War Department.
The few officials at the Department today,
including Maj. Gen. Wotherspoon, chief
of staff, who is acting secretary Of war,
were inclined to attribute the criticisms
of the conduct Of that officer at Havre
to the excitement of women in the party
on its arrival in the French port late at
night and thrown on their own resources
when they had expected some one there
to look after them.
1t was explained that several trains of
refugees arrived at Havre at very short
intervals and that Maj Henry and his as
sistants looked after them all as well as
they could. AS usual in such cases, there
was some delay in handling the crowds,
and it is assumed here that some of the
passengers may have wandered away and
been overlooked
According to one officer. the members
of the party should be thankful, in a
small degree at least, to the efforts of the
United States officers in taking them out
of danger to a place of safety, instead of
finding fault with the manner in which
the movement was accomplished.
It is pointed out that Assistant Secre-
tary Breckenridge and Ambassador Her
rick at Paris must be entirely satisfied
with the service being rendered by Maj
Henry, inasmuch as they have recon-
mended that he be ordered to remain at
Paris with the ambassador during the
expected siege of that city in order to as
sist in the protection Of American citi-
zens whose business requires them To
remain there.

j. S. REFUGEES CROWD
LONDON RELIEF ROOMS
Those Arriving Now Are Out of
Funds and Report Many More
Still in Germany.

LONDON, September Z. 1915 pm
Among the 1000 Americans who crowd
ed the rooms Of the American relief
committee when it opened this morning
were 100 who came over from Havre on
the American cruiser Tennessee. The re-
mainder were chiefly from Flushing, Os-
tend and Rotterdam, and were largely
American-Germans, who are virtually
without money and who must be assist
ed back to the United States by the COM
mittee.
Refugees from Germany say there is
still a large number of American citi-
zens in Germany who are unable to get
out because Of the limited train facili-
ties There are only two trains day
from Berlin to Rotterdam, each CARRYING
zoo passengers: consequently Americans
are filtering out Of the German capital
very slowly. Other refugees report that
rotterdam is still crowded, and still
many Americans are waiting in Holland
for opportunity to get to England.
The crowd this morning was SO grea,
that. the committee merely gave appli
cants enough money to buy something
to eat, and issued cards which will be
presented later in the day to the financ,
committee for further help.
Although the committee has been well
systematized and has a corps of efficient
helpers, its rooms at the Savoy Hotel
have become inadequate. and it may be.
come necessary to get larger quarters
Herbert c. Hoover, chairman of the
committee, does not believe that the con.
tinent will be free Of American refugees
for thirty days yet. Those arriving to-
day are in much greater need of help
than the earlier arrivals, being mostly
persons of limited means who have ex-
hausted their funds.

BOYS AND GIRLS HERE
TO AID CHRISTMAS SHIP
Suggestion of James Kelley, Editor
of Chicago Herald, Finds Favor
in Washington.

That the boys and girls Of Washington,
as well as many of their elders, are
anxious to do their share toward sending
a Christmas ship to the war orphans Of
Europe was manifested today, when a
number of residents of the capital ex-
pressed unqualified approval of the plan
and inquired in regard to details.
The plan of sending Christmas ship
laden with things that children the world
over like and enjoy to the war-torn ma
tons of Europe was suggested by James
Kelly, editor of the Chicago Herald, and
the Washington Star has pledged it's CO.
operation in making the plan a success.
II think that all Americans old as well
as young, cannot fail to approve the sug-
gestion of Mr.. Kelly" said a prominent
Washingtonian today, land believe the
response to the suggestion will be so
spontaneous and, so generous that there
will be no difficulty in loading ship with
Christmas cheer for the orphans whose
daddies have fallen in the war over there.
Such an idea gets right at the heart
strings of everybody, you see, and I
know a dozen persons. besides any num-
Der of youngsters, who. as soon as they
learned through The Star that it was
proposed to send such a ship. declared
their intention of sharing their Christ
mas with those other poor kiddies across
the sea. Have no fear that Washington
will not do it's part
Although no definite steps have been
taken to crystalline the Christmas ship
plan into concerted action in Washing
ton, individuals in all parts of the city
have informed The Star that they will
do everything they can to assist In max
ing the project a success. 1t is assured
that the vessel flying the Stars and
Stripes and the snow white flag with the
single golden star-the star of Bethlehem
and the single word 'Inasmuch," will
bear many gifts contributed by warm
hearted residents of the nations capital
for the cheer of those thousands of other
wise Christmasless little ones, who have
been made the innocent and helpless VIC
tins of the worlds greatest armed con-
flict.

SENATE WILL PUSH
REVENUE TAX BILL
Democrats to Make Strong
Effort to Put Measure
Through Quickly.

A strong effort will be made on the
part of the democrats in the Senate to
put through the proposed internal rev.
enue tax bill, to offset the loss Of the
customs due to the war, as quickly as
possible once the bill has come to them
from the House. For that reason there
is growing disposition to accept the
House bill with as few changes as pos
sible, provided, of course, the House
frames a bill that is open to little
criticism.
This being the case, if the House de-
termines not to place a tax upon railroad
tickets. nor upon gasolene, in all prob
aoiiieS there will be no attempt made to
place such taxes in the bill when 1t comes
to the Senate.
1t Is known that Chairman Underwood
of the ways and means committee of the
House has looked with considerable favor
upon the tax upon railroad tickets feel
ing that the burden of the tax would he

Gallinger Voices Opposition.
Senator Gallinger. the republican lead
er. said today:
Il would prefer to see the tariff law
amended, than to have this new internal
revenue tax. 1 would like to see the
duty on sugar and wool returned But the
democrats will not take such action The
money is needed, however, and | hope
the tax will be placed upon luxuries. 1
hope they will not adopt a stamp tax,
which would have to be paid in large
part by the industrial north. The taxing
of railroad tickets would be the height
of folly
Senator Gallinger said he did not ex-
pect long debate in the Senate over
IhiS measure.

TWO YOUNG CHILDREN
DISAPPEAR FROM HOME
Police Are Searching for Francis
Smith and His Sister
Madeline.

Francis Smith, eight years old, and
Madeline Smith, his sister, nine years
old, disappeared from their home, 907
Allison street northwest, about l
o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The children were at home yesterday
at dinner time, but shortly thereafter
disappeared. Mrs. Josephine E. Smith.
their mother, waited until long after
dark for their return before asking
police assistance in locating them.
Mounted policemen and footmen of
the tenth precinct searched for the
out finding any trace of them, and the
same task devolved upon the men who
went on duty this morning.
Probably Slept in Woods.
1t is thought by the police that the
children started from home with the
intention Of visiting their grandmother
at Laurel. and that they probably slept
in the woods last night.
Capt. Judge of the tenth precinct re-
ceived word this morning that the chill
dren We're seen passing through Wood
burn, near Soldiers Home, yesterday aft
ernoon. He directed the policemen on
the country roads to go in that direction
in search of them. The captain also took
part in the search.
Know the Way.
1t is stated that both children have
visited Laurel, and that they probably
know how to reach there without keeping
to the public roads or walking the rail-
road ties.
Inspector Boardman telephoned re-
quest to Deputy Sheriff Mulligan at
Laurel that the Prince Georges county
officers participate in the search. The
deputy sheriff promised compliance. He
had not heard that the children had
reached Laurel.
