George F. Northway, proprietor of the Green Grove Tea House at 7301 Georgia avenue northwest, is named as defendant in a suit for a limited divorce flled today in the District Supreme Court by his wife, Nellie N. Northway. She charges cruelty and says her husband’s latest attack was a few days ago when she objected to the “jazz music” at the tea house being kept up until “3 o'clock in the morning.” The wife tells the court that to fur- nish an additional dining room for his guests the husband deprived her of her bedroom and put her in a little hallroom not fit for habitation. The lateness of the music and entertain- ment deprives her of her necessary sleep, the wife complains. She has requested that she be furnished with another home, but assérts the hus- band declines to do so, telling her if she does not like the teahouse she can get out. Northway has $15,000 in bank, the wife states, and makes $300 per month in his business. Further resi- dence at the teahouse has been made objectionabie, Mrs. Northway de- clares, by reason of a recent raid by prohibition officers. She asks suit- able alimony. Attorney John V. Sad- lgs represents the wife. THE EVENIN |CANADA ASKS .S, FOR SEIZED BONDS . Claims Right to Railroad Securities Held by Germans Prior to War. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. Canada and the United States have developed one of the most tangled legal points over the question of German property seized during the war that the alien property custo- dlans of the two countries have yet tackled 4 A delegation of Canadian officials and Secretary Hughes are meeting here today to disentangle the skein. The problem arises out of the fact that Canadian Pacile railway prop- erty, which was owned in part by Germans, was confiscated by the Canadian authorities. The securities, however, originally issued against the property were held by Germans | resident | | in’ the United States thus the securities came into the possession of the ulien property cus- todian of the United States govern- The Canadians feel that ina: much as they hold the original prop- erty they are s, and Would Require Compgnsation. So far as the Washingtoh govern- ment is concerned. the action of the alien property custodian is regulat- ed by acts of Congress and there is no law on the statute books permit- ting the American government (o confiscate securities or any other class of property with the idea of turning it over to anybody but la ful owners. Much of the alien proi erty may be held indefinitely in trust and dividends or other income yield- ed will be retained until Congress finally says what shall be done. To give up the securities desired the Canadians would mean con- scation of property held by the American government and the only way that could be done would be for the United States government to compensate the owners some day and that would require authorization from Congress as well as an appro- priation. No Precedent In Set. The legal experts of the Ameri government do not see how they can decide otherwise. since the law of Congress is so explicit on the subject of holding property in trust, but the Canadian officials have thought it best to come here to argue the question in person. Tncidentally an erroneous impression has gone forth that because the Cana- dian cabinet officers are dealing direc ly with the Secretary of State of the United States a precedent has been e tablished which, as one published r port phrased if. “ignores Great Bri- tain.” The truth is the visit of the Canadian officials was arranged through {the British emb: as have been all other conferenci in_which Canadian authoriti and the Washington gov- ernment have participated. Legation Would Be Welcome. The part the British embassy plays is purely perfunctory and formal, and the entire negotiation is usually car- ried on between the Canadian and American governments, but until di- rect representation is specifically ar- ranged and the British government notifies the American government to that effect, the arrangements will continue to be made through the Brit- ish embassy. In fact, one of the ar- guments heard against Canadian rep- resentation is that it would cost the Canadian government considerable money to maintain a legation here. while to all practical purposes direct conferences can always be arranged through the British embassy, in which the Washington government gives maximum attention to the b ness qf the Canadian government just as if the questions arising were to have {been submitted through a Canadian legation. There have been sentimental ques- tions raised, of course, which have a bearing on whether the Canadians shall have a legation here, but thes: naturally are matters upon which the Canadians themselves ultimate- Iy must pass, though it is a fact the {establishment of closer relations with Canada through a legation rmly welcomed here and there is every reason to believe the London government is not opposed to the step. But the conferen now being held are in line with { previous practice and do not imply {any slight of the home government by the Canadians.

Two Canadian ministers and other high officials of the Dominion are in {Washington today discussing with the - American government matters relating to alien property seized by {this government during the war. which they contend should properly be turned over to the alien property custodian of Canada. The_ distinguished Canadians here are Sir Lomer Gouin, minister of justice, and A. B. Copp. secretary of state; William Pugsley, Canadian Tepresentative for the claims commis- sion; D. L. Newcomb, deputy mini: of justice, and Thomas M. Mulve: undersecretary of state, and Maj. Ralph. Canadian custodian of alien property. The property involved amounts to about $2,000,000, much of it stock of Canadian corporations, including the Canadian Pacific railway. This prop- erty was taken over by the American alien property custodian during the War. It is claimed by the Canadians as property of German nationals {domiciled in Canada. On the other |hand, the Canadians hold property {owned by German nationals of Amer. lican origin, It has been suggested |that a “géneral rule be adopted ferred. The Canadians conferred with Sec- retary Hughes of the State Depart- ment this morning, and later were scorted by Secretary Hughes to the hite House, where -they talked with President Harding. They were entertained at luncheon by Secretary Hughes at the Metropolitan Club. They expect to leave Washington to- night on their return trip to Canada. i PLACE GIVEN BACK TO MRS.

The hearing was granted and was held before So- licitor T. G. Risley of the Labor De- partment.

ESSEN, June 11—Because of re- ports that numbers of Russian agi- tators have been arriving in the Ruhr for the purpose of fomenting strikes and other trouble, the German au- thorities are organizing stre methods to check any bolshevik nces of this kind. These measures re considered especially necessary in view of the fact that a large num- ber of towns are without police pro- tection. One method being used by the Ger- mans is to search all passenger trains in unoccupled Germany as they approach the Ruhr - Rhenish boundaries. This is being done h security police. who require all Rus sians to alight and produce the ne. essary papers permitting them to be in_Germany In Bochum fifty members of Self-protection League organized during the recent strike have been arrested by the French, who suspect them of being nation- alists and trouble makers.

It is unofficlally explained that the situation in Russia is such that Leonid Krassin, who pre- sented the note, might see fit later to withdraw the note altogether. At the same time it is kriown ‘the reply is of such a conciliatory and accommodat- ing nature that any danger of a rup- ture of the existing trade relations moved. The reply has been in London several days but was withheld by M.

That there are already enough ho-‘ tels, apartment houses and private homes in Washington to house a transient population almost as large | as the city’s normal population was proved by the way the national cap- ital swallowed with one gulp the! throngs during Shrine week and still } had room left to handle half as many people again, according to prominent | real estate men. . “If there is one thing the Shrine! convention proved,” declared 1‘.; Franklin Schneider, a well known: realtor of Washington, “it is that this | city is way over-built already. And | { when the huge building projects now | under construction are finished we | will have far more room than we can ! ever think of filling under existing ! conditions.” i Had Rooms Listed.

Despite this tremen- | dous_crowd, the housing committee at Shrine headquarters had listed | rooms in the city proper capable of | housing more than 100,000 persons | more. { Speaking for the hotel men, James T. Howard, manager of the Cairo. declared ‘the city's hotels alone are capable of rooming about 25000 per- | sons without crowding. That would i not take into consideration the thou- | sands that could be accommodated | on cots in spacious ballrooms and in | rooms large enough for more than| two persons to live comfortably. 1Inj addition, several more huge hotels; are either under construction or he-‘ ing definitely planned. . “I am confident” continued Mr. Schneider, “that Washington is due for a big slump in real estate within the next two years. Men have built huge apartment houses at peak prices and now they have discovered must ask high rents to come out even. There are S0 many rooms now that their owners cannot rent them and if real estate crashes every busi- ness in the city Is bound to feel it. Should Stop Bullding. “Rather than showing the need for more building, 1 believe {if the Shriners’ convention proved any one thing it was that Washington neel to stop building—not redouble its ef- forts along that line. I know per- sonally of scores of persons who had hoped to have Shriners sent to their homes for rooms and were disap- pointed. That is true despite the size of the crowd that did come. “The same is true of the entire city. Literally hundreds of persons who had made preparation to accommo- date one or two nobles for the week found Washington so well prepared to house a transient crowd that the visitors were simply distributed through the center of the city Rooms farther out went begging, and even downtown there were many vacant. One apartment house adver- tised for more than two hundred Shriners while the convention was at its height, but nona answered. Rooms were too plentiful.” FLAG USAGE CODE WILL BE ADOPTED | Harding to Address Meeting | of National Bodies Sup- | porting Movement.
