Twenty-one Years Sieqe.

Crete endured the longest siege on
record, beside which Troy's ten years
seem but a skirmish. In 1913 the
Turks, attempting to conquer the is
land, laid siege to the capital city Of
Gambia, which, however, did not sur
render until September, 1869, after
twenty-one years. Again in 1921, when
the Cretans revolted, the defeated
cities against all attacks, and many Of
them were still uncaptured when the
powers interviewed nine years later.

Final Decision.

Assistant Corporation Counsel Fran
els H. Stephens this afternoon an
nounced that an appeal would be taken
to tho ruling of Justice Mccoy of the
District Supreme Court, who yesterday
granted an injunction restraining the
excise board from issuing or continu-
ing licenses for the saloons of P. F.
Carr and James w. Wardell. located
next to tho railway station at 3sth and
NJ streets northwest.
It is not anticipated that tho court
will require the immediate closing OF
the saloons pending the appeal The
excise board has received no official no
tice Of the Injunction. The licenses in
question. according to members Of the
board. contain a clause to the effect
that they are valid only until an ad-
verse ruling of the court.
The petition for the Injunction was
filed by Attorneys Wilton ]. Lambert
and Crandal Mackey. representing the
Washington and Old Dominion Railway
Company Assistant Corporation Coun-
sci Stephens represented the excise
board
It was contended by the railway
company that the excise board was
without authority to grant the licenses
on account of the saloons being located
outside the fire limits at the time the
act creating the board was passed.

CUT OFF BY C0D|C|L
Georgetown University Deprived Of
$4,000 in Will of Ed
ward Key.

Georgetown University has been de-
prived of $4,000 in curious manner.
The sum was bequeathed to the presi-
dent anu directors of the university
by Edward Key. descendant Of
Francis Scott Key, who died April IL
at Rome. On the eve of his death,
however. he revoked by a codicil the
will. containing among many bequests
the one to the local institution, and
under which his divorced wife would
have been cut off without a cent of his
estate. worth hundreds of thousands.
1t is said.
His wife, Mrs. Florence Gross Hor-
witz Key. went to him when she
learned of his illness in Rome and min
istered to his wants. Her care SO ap
pealed to Mr.. Key that a reconciliation
was effected and the codicil hurriedly
drawn up. The original will and the
codicil were taken into the orphans
court in Baltimore yesterday and the
codicil admitted to probate. The pos
sibility of a caveat to the codicil was
not raised yesterday.
Officials of the university had neither
been apprised of the bequest in the
original will nor of the revokement by
codicil.

mo ACTION IS TAKEN

Navy Department Says Only Con-

Topped Off.

Although considerable resentment ex-
lists at the Washington. navy yard be-
cause of the announcement that wages
there would have to be cut at the rate
of cents a day. no formal action has
been taken following the protest al the
Navy Department lodged by n. P. ALI
fas, representing the International As
sociation of Machinists 1t was said at
the department today that nothing
could be done until Congress changes
the present law. and that a canvass Of
the members of the Senate and House
naval affairs committee would result
in the sarae conclusion.
Mr.. Alias. as outlined in The Star OF
yesterday. declared that he had learned
in Philadelphia that the private manu-
facturers of arms ard ammunition are
in sore straits for lack of mechanics,
and that they are likely to attract from
government yards men who are dis
gruntled because of cut in pay.
1t was not learned that any mechanics
either at the Washington yard or any
other yard had actually left. but Mr.
Alias remarks have set mechanics
here talking about such a possibility.
Situation Regarding Cut.
The situation regarding the cut IN
pay is this: Congress appropriated =
sum Of money recently for the express
purpose of increasing pay In various
naval establishments. The Navy De-
partment. it has been said there. dis
tributed so much of the increase in
Washington as to actually violate the
law and that a change must be made
Immediately in order to conform to
the law. It is further claimed that
with the cents day reduction the
Washington yard Is in better position
with reference to pay than any other
yard,
