ECONOMY THE RULE
In ENGLISH TOWNS
Municipal Officials Every.
where Saving Expenses
TO Aid War.
From Special Correspondent Of The Tribune

From Special Correspondent OF Inc lrlDuheI
London. July 28.-Throughout the
British Isles town councils and munich
pal corporations are exercising rigid
economy owing to the war THE Daily
Telegraph" has received reports from
its correspondents IN score of pro-
vincial centres. and from all quarters
comes similar news.
There has been an almost complete
abandonment of all public building
schemes, road making, improvement of
waterworks and lighting plants. On
many improvements already under way
work has been stopped Even schools
are affected At Barrow-in-Furness
two schools were nearing completion a
few weeks ago. 1t has been decided to
roof over the uncompleted structures
and let them stand 50 until the end OF
the war.
In some towns municipal officials are
giving a certain percentage OF tneir
salaries TO war relief funds. Nearly
everywhere the staff OF a corporation
or borough has been depleted by en-
listment. Those remaining carry on
the WOTk WITHOUT NdhlHG VII oHh'N'p
men, thus making q saving. although It
means the curtailment or abandonment
of all holidays. In many cities the
municipality pays to its servants who
have enlisted the difference between
their army pay and the salaries they
drew from the city government. thus
protecting the soldier against financial
loss through enlistment.
Cities and towns within the Yep
pelin area" have saved large sums on
light. These places remain darkened
every night. and probably not one
twentieth as much electricity is used as
before. At Southend it has been de-
cided that there shall be no municipal
election this year, which will mean a
saving of $3.50.
A principal item of saving is the
abandonment of work on roads, but the
result is disastrous e England's won
derful system of highways.

MOOSE STRONG,
PERKINS SAYS
More Confident than Ever
After Battle with Bolt
erS at Buffalo.
PREDICTS HARD FIGHT
AT COMING ELECTION
Warns Against Obscuring of
National Issues-Would Fuse
on District ATTORNEY.

George W. Perkins arrived home
yesterday from Buffalo, where he went
in an effort to check the bolt Of Bull
Moose leaders back to the Republican
fold. He expressed himself as more
confident than he has been in a long
time that the Progressives were in
good shape to make a hard fight in the
next election.
Concerning the withdrawal from the
party of Frederick NJ. Davenport, last
years candidate for Governor, Mr..
Perkins said:
mir. Davenport's withdrawal from
the Progressive party will not cause
any let-up in the party's activities in
this state.
"In my judgment, Progressives must
not allow local conditions and elec-
tons to obscure the great national IS
sues TO be settled in the forthcoming
election. Local questions should be met
and decided so far as possible on the
basis of each candidates character and
fitness for the Office proposed rather
than on his party affiliations.
"Our one prime duty now is TO pre-
pare for the great national campaign
Of 1916 and in all things be careful
that we do nothing to weaken and
everything possible to strengthen our
ability to be of real service TO the
country in solving its great national
and economic problems"
Mr.. Perkins specified the position OF
District Attorney of New York County
as one of those on which he believed
the Bull Moose party should fuse with
other parties.

great flow of Irish rhetoric. He was
sentenced to six months at hard labor.

months at the end of the first period
in default of bail for good behavior
In open court Mr.. Skefington in
formed those present that he did not

days without water. Mr. Skeffington

WOOD And SPERRY
AS AIR DEFENDERS
To Serve on Navy AdviS-
Ory Board-Aeronautic
List Causes Surprise.
Rv GORDON BRUCE.

Henry A. Wise Wood and Elmer A.
Sperry, of the newly formed American
Society of Aeronautic Engineers, have
been chosen 10 represent that organl-
cation on the Navy Advisory Board,
with which Thomas A. Edison is ex-
pected TO be closely identified. These
two nominations resulted from vote
of the total membership, according TO
an announcement made by the society
last night.
1t was further stated that the fol-
lowing experts had been appointed TO
cooperate with Mr.. Wood and Mr..
Sperry: ",
Orville Wright, Glenn II. Curtis, W.
S. Burgess and Charles NJ. Manley, to
advise on matters pertaining TO the
theory and construction of aeroplanes
and aeronautical motors.
Peter Cooper Hewitt, John Hays

TO the application of aircraft to war

ing 70 dirigibles, spherical balloons and
parachutes.
Mr.. Wood is president of the society
and served on the aerodynamics labo-
ratory committee appointed by Presi-
dent Taft in 1912. Mr.. Sperry is an au-
thority on horoscopes and the inventor
of the stabilizer which bears his name
In the organization of the society
provision was made for additional d.
doctors two to be appointed by the
navy, two by the army and one each by
the Smithsonian Institution, Post VI
fee Department, Weather Bureau, Bu-
reau of Standards, Massachusetts In
stitute of Technology and the Unlver-
sity of Michigan:
The avowed objects of the new or
ganization are unquestlonably al
mirable, in the opinion OF those VINO
are anxious to see aviation take us
proper place in the defence Of the
United States. But there are some
points on which, it is believed sur
ficient care has not been taken.
One of the paragraphs in the So
cietv's announcement is this: "The So
ciety has received a large number OF
applications for membership, but IT Is
the intention Of the executive board 70
apply the severe requirements OF Such
technical societies as the American In
stitute of Electrical Engineers and the
American Society Of Mechanical Engl-
ncers in passing upon candidates Tor
membership. This is in accordance
with Mr.. Edison's request"
A glance at the list of charter mem
bers of the society suffices to snow
that such Requirements" have not
been thoroughly considered, said one
of the members last night. II is pointed
out that the list carries names of many
who by no trick of the imagination
could be considered "aeronauticai en-
gineers."
A man may be an expert in flying an
aeroplane and not have the faintes'
knowledge of the fundamentals OF aero,
nautcs II the conditions as announced
should no lived up to no one would be
eligible for membership who has not
had a scientific education, followed by
a great amount Of practical experince
in solving aeronautical problems.

LIBRARY TO SHARE
In WRIGHT ESTATE
100000 Request Passes
with Control of Heights
Institution.
COURTS TO RULE ON
REFEREES FINDINGS
Gift of $580,000 for Knicker-
booker Hospital Under Will
of Its Founder.

BY the findings of Phoenix Ingraham,
if upheld by the court. the New York
Public Library will receive 100000
from the estate of J. Hood Wright,
founder of the hospital named after
him, now known as the Knickerbocker
Hospital. The latter institution will re-
ceive S5S0,000 from the estate.
IL devolyed upon the referee TO con-
strue certain parts of the will Of Mr..
Wright, who died in 1894, which duty
included the entertainment of the power
of the New York Public Library to take
over the Washington Heights Library,
and whether the benefits accruing to
the Washington library also accrued to
the newer institution.
The trustees of the Wright estate
have now in their hands about S66O,OO0
to dispose of, according to the order OF
the court. 1t was the intention of Mr..
Wright, as expressed in his will, that
the Washington Heights Library should
receive 100000. Under the Tilden act
of 1901 the Washington Heights Lii
brary conveyed its property to the New
York Public Library, the State Regents
approving. The referee says it was also
provided that the New York Public Lii
brary should have power to dispose Of
property, and that all requests to the
Washington library should inure to the
benefit of the New York library.
Furthermore" says the referee, 81
agree with the convention of the New
York Public Library that the interests
of the Washington Heights Library un-
der this will were vested ones, and
capable of being transferred to another
corporation performing the conditions
of the gift"
The referee says in his report: "The
controlling factor in the construction
and Interpretation of will is the in
tent of the testator, and if that intent
can lawfully be carried out this should
be done regardless of technicalities;
and this principle is familiar and has
often been announced and stated in
various terms of the law" Therefore
the 100000 bequest will go to the New
York Public Library.
The proceeding for the construction
Of the will was made by Mrs. Mary R.
Wright, the widow, and other trustees,
and followed the death of Miss Eliza
beth Wright, a sister of j. Hood
Wright. Her interest in the estate of
her brother was life income from
trust fund Of one-thrd of the residue.
The residuary amounted to $4,000,
and out of this legacies were to be
paid, including the 100000 library be-
quest, the rest to go to the knicker-
booker Hospital.
