TOPAY HIS WIFE ALIMONY

Files Answer to Suit and Asks
Dismissal,

Charles F. Karr. retired jeweler
whose wife, Belle T. Karr, sued him
for limited divorce, has filed an
answer declaring that he Is unable
to pay temporary aIimony to his
wife. He admits that he owns sew
eral pieces of property from which
he collects a monthly rental Of $500,
but asserts that the properties are
heavily mortgaged and the carry
ing charges total nearly $500 per
month, leaving him nothing to pay
towards his wife's maintenance.
She Is employed in the govern
ment, making $125 per month, he
states, and also receives about 800
additional from the rental of rooms
in her home. He denies that he is
worth 100000 and has an income Of
$4,000 as claimed by the wife.
Mr.. Karr asks the dismissal of his
wife's suit on the ground that he
was not cruel to her and did not de-
sert her as alleged. He files a cross
petition in which he asks that he
be given a limited divorce because
he claims she left him.
In his cross petition, MN Karr
SAYS his wife over his objection kept
with q divorced woman and
rode home from her work
with Army officers and when he
told him II he was dis
satisfied he might ''get OUT. He
rented another place and requested
that she join him there and when
she refused, he claims, she deserted
him under the law. Attorney Leo p.

SUMS FACE IS DUE
FOR TOTAL ECLIPSE
ON SEPTEMBER 20

There will be 4 total eclipse of the
sun on September 20. The line Of
totality begins in eastern Africa,
crosses the Indian ocean and Austria
Iia and ends in the western Pacific
at about 17s degrees longitude and
in latitude 80 degrees south.
A number Of American and Euro
pean parties are on the way to OBJ
serve the eclipse. and other parties
win be sent by the. Australians.
One Of the principal objects sought
for will be the gravitattonal eject

when passing near the sun, as pre-
dicted BY Prof. Einstein.
This total eclipse Of the sun in
which the astronomical world Is SO
much interested Is to be used by
astronomers on the occasion OF this
snecial phenomena to test Prof. Elm

500 YOUNGSTERS TO,HAVE
BIG OUTING WITH POLICE,
Marshall Hall Excursion Arranged by Evening Star,
Steamboat Company and Maj. sullivan's Cap
tains for Pleasure and Real Fellowship.

If there ever was mystery in the
minds of Washington children about
that big fellow who wears q blue
uniform and carries a club. 1t will be
SOLVED the day after tomorrow -
Tuesday-when dozen genuine
Washington policemen will accom-
pany more than 500 children Of the
District of Columbia on an excursion
to Marshall Hall as the guests Of The
Evening Star Newspaper Company
and the Mount Vernon and Marshall
Hall Steamboat Company.
The police are not going down on
the trip to maintain order and throw
gloom all over the kids, but they are
going along at the wish of Maj.
Daniel Sullivan. superintendent Of
police. and The Star. to prove to the
children in their precincts neighbor-
hoods and those fro mthe orphanages
that they are as kind. generous and
E.x-hearted as old man Santa Claus.
Here's the whole situation: The
Star, Friday; invited the orphans and
dependent children of the District to
be its guests on the Marshall Hall ex-
cursion. Then Mai. Sullivan was ap-
preached with the suggestion that he
have each of his precinct commanders
pick out a group of deserving chill
dren in his neighborhood. detail a
policeman to act as the daddy" for
the party and send them along on
the excursion. too. To this, the
major responded heartily.
Yesterday at IL o'clock he called
into his Office the precinct captains
and explained to them that The Star
was cooperating with the police de-
partment in carrying out his recent
request TO the police that they and
the children get together and be true,
sincere friends. He explained the
plan of the outing. which was unani-
mously approved.
Busses Are Provided.
T'ae question of transporting the
children to the wharf was then dis
cussed. A representative of The Star
told the meeting that his company
would supply the necessary street
railway transportation. but the offi-
GERS decided that the children should
be conveyed to the wharf in auto
mobiles. They agreed that 1t would
take number of automobiles to
transport the youngsters to the berth
Of the Charles Manchester. but before
they had definitely decided on how
they were going to get these cars,
Capt. Robert E. Doyle, commander
of No. s, said he was reasonably GER
tain he could secure the necessary
motor busses for the entire crowd.
The meeting then adjourned sine die

AS to the trip proper
The steamer Charles Manchester will
leave Tuesday morning. August 90.
at 10 o'clock. The party will arrive
at Marshall Hall about an hour and
a half later. where they will find that
virtually everything at the resort has
been turned over to them. And just
about the time they think they have
ridden on all the trick conveyances
and are ready to settle down for
few breaths they will be faced with
the opportunity of winning many
prizes in athletic contests that will
be staged.
Al some time NOT yet decided the
excursionists will be forced to call a
halt in their activities and get ready
for lunch. The Star will supply sand
witches OF q wholesome variety and
soft drinks. "ice cold" for the Ameri-
can Ice Company will furnish the ice
Fruit will also be given to the chill
dren for consumption with their lunch

The Corby Baking Company will

PLANS FOR TERMINALS
AT GEORGETOWN BRIDGE
Committee of Virginia Citizens
Submits Proposal Which Meets
With Approval.

Arrangement Of traction line trans
fers at the south end of the new
Georgetown bridge is a matter which
is now Interesting residents of those
parts of Virginia which are served
by the Washington-Virginia and Old
Dominion railroads. At recent
meeting in Rosslyn a citizens COM
mittee was appointed to take the
matter up with government officials
in charge of the bridge and with the
officers of the Capital Traction Com
pany. which is to extend its lines
across the bridge, with a loop at the
south end.
NJ. E. Church, chairman of the Cit
izens' committee: T. ]. Lashmutt.
chairman Of the Arlington county
board of supervisors: George E. Car
rett, county enegineer, and H. A. Fell
lows. mayor of Falls Church, had a
conference with Maj. Tylor. the engi-
neer officer in charge. on Friday
afternoon in reference to the termi-
nails and transfer points. The plan
as worked out by Maj. Tyler contem-
plated a loop on the bridge approach
with loading and unloading stations
about midway between Canal street
and the end of the bridge. The COM
mittee pointed out to Maj. Tyler that
this would be unsatisfactory from
several standpoints:
First: The transfer in the open and
the crossing OF the highway were OBJ
jectionable features.
Second: The location of the loading
and unloading points of the Capital
Traction Company were too far from
the stations of the other. railroads
and from the nearest business street
of Rosslyn.
After considerable discussion and
many suggestions a plan was worked
out for the continuing OF the loop of
the Capital Traction Company along
the center Of the Military road to
the street south of the milling prop
erty. thence curving around on that
street to the street now occupied by
the tracks Of the Washington-Vir-
glnta railroad and then back to the
bridge approach. This makes the
loop on level ground. directly acees-
sible to the Virginia
road and easily accessible to. the
washington and Old Dominion. 1t
also puts the tracks of the Capital
Traction farther back into the busi-
ness section of Rosslyn. Maj. Tyler
expressed himself as very much
to try to prevail on the Capital Trac-
ton Company to adopt it. An objec-
tion anticipated on the part Of the
Capital Traction Is the bringing of
that road under the jurisdiction Of
the state of Virginia. 1t was sug-
gested that this objection could be
overcome by the county cedinE the
right of maintenance of the roads or
streets to be occupied to the War De-
partment. putting them on the same
status as the present Military road
and the land at the approach of the
bridge now termed the Government
Reservation. This plan meets with
the hearty approval of those who
have given it any considera ton and
the request is made that all of the
civic associations interested Will
carefully consider it and express
their approval or disapproval either
to the committee or board of super
yisors.

BELIEVE M'BR|DE
CLUE IS IN WEST
District Police Practically
Abandon Hope Of Solving
Murder Mystery Here.

The District police virtually ad.
mitted last night that all hope Of
solving the mystery Of who MUIR
dered Barney A. Mcbride. wealthy
Oklahoma oil operator. whose body
was Sbandoned on q road In Prince
Georges county. rested upon their
ability to carry their investigation
into the Indian country around Mus
kogee, the slain mans home city.
Authority for the District to send
several detectives TO the western
city. where 1t is now alleged the plot
to kill Mcbride was Matched. has not
been given, and the police frankly
admit that they think there IL little
likelihood Of such permission being
granted.
Interviews with congressman and
and visitors here from Oklahoma have
convinced the police that Mcbride
was married for death when he left
Muskogce to make q tour of Chicago,
New York, Atlantic City and Wash
ington. This city was selected rs the
place to kill him. II is believed. be-
cause his business here would make
1t easier for the murderers to set their
trap.
The. alleged "bootlesger" who was
being held at police precinct sta
tion for investigation was released
late yesterday after he had convinced
the detectives that he knew nothing
about the murder. The police also
feel that no other dispenser of Illicit
liquor could throw any light on the
situation.
Only two questions regarding Nc
Brides activities here remained to be
answered last night. Where was Nc
Bride the night before he was mur-
dered, and who were his friends at
the Elks' Club? The answer to both
