A legal precedent for procedure in

case which comes up for decision

Kellogg was served this morning
with the writ of nfandafnus secured
Yesterday from Justice Hitz by the
Karolyi attorneys, which orders him
to show cause by February 4, why
the consul at Paris should not be
instructed to wise the Hungarian
woman's passport.
State Department officials re.
fused today to comment in what
procedure would be followed in the
Karolyi suit but 1t was learned in
other quarters that the Department
must answer similar writ Friday
before Justice Hoehling.
From all indications given at the
State Department, however. the
KArolyi writ will be met with q
tacit answer from the department. Is
solicitor. Green H. HackWorth, that
the matter is one of purely admin
istrative discretion entirely without
the jurisdiction Of the District

LEGION POST SEEKS
D. c. WAR TROPHIES.
Costello Adiutant Hopes to
Install City's Share on
Sites Here.

Indications that virtually all OF the
German war trophies allotted TO the
District and ye. unclaimed may be
brought TO Washington and installed
in public places were given today Dy
Vincent b. Costello Post, American
Legion, which set about to raise the
necessary funds to pay their transpor-
tation here.
Through its adjutant. William F.
Franklin. it was announced that the
post contemplates the expenditure OF
about $500, which, it is believed. would
be the freight bill on one car, into
which large number, If not all, or
the trophies could be packed. Mr..
Franklin's plan includes the placing
of two large guns in front Of the Dis
trict Building, several more In the
ward of the Temporary Home for
Soldiers and Sailors at 921 Pennsyl-
yania avenue southeast, and the dis
tribution of other war machines at
Fort du points
George Washington Post, No. 1, OF
the legion, is the only organization
in the District thus far that has taken
advantage Of the opportunity to ac-
auire the German spoils. The entire
matter Of distribution is in the hands
OF Mai. Gen. Anton Stephan, com.
Mr.. Franklin plans conference
with Gen. Stephan and the Commits
sioners and believes by the end of the
week the matter should be settled.
"Inasmuch as other cities through
out the country have obtained these
trophies, 1t would appear that the
District cares nothing about them"
Mr.. Franklin said. "In almost every
community within a wide radius OF
washington one can see big German
guns in the town squares, represent
ing the fact that the local boys did
something in the war"
Action on the question OF bringing
the trophies TO Washington was spur
red yesterday by the publication In
The Star of a story to the effect that
the material lies unclaimed, mainly
for the want Of some one to pay
the freight bill.
