AEROPLANE RACES -

Orders Amounting to $4,000, 1000
Occupy Constructors-U. S.
Needs Emphasized.

The national aeroplane competition
and the transcontinental race planned
by the various clubs Of this country
have been postponed, it was announced
by the Aero Club of America, be-
cause Of the possibilities Of war and
the fact that orders amounting to
100000 were occupying the time and
attention Of aviators and constructors
throughout the country.
With the management Of this com
petition off its hands, the Aero Club
has turned its attention toward pro-
curing aeroplanes for the national
guard and naval militia of all the states
Of the Union.
According to Alan R. Hawley, presi-
dent of the club, it is high time that
the United States realized the beggarly
insufficiency of its twenty aeroplanes,
when England and Russia find them
selves handicapped in the present war,
although they have more than 1000
each.
In q letter to Secretary Garrison Mr..
Hawley points out the efforts made by

such business houses as the National
City Bank, American Telephone and
Telegraph Company, United States steer

These business fellowships aim TO

time is TO be divided half and half be-
tween practical work in business and
special work in the university.
About seventy-fve institutions are

$50 applications 20 are from New YORK
University and % from Cornell Uni

The Wall Street courses established
BY New York University have proved
success. Business men have cordially
co-operated with the university. The
New York Stock Exchange has given its
smoking room for the use of the stu
dents. The Bankers Trust Company
and the Chamber of Commerce of the
State of New York have furnished
classrooms. =,

that unless the men in the ranks know
their jobs completely no amount Of or
ganization al the head of the depart-
ment will give the results for which il
exists. Observation has shown that too
many OF the men 60 through their work
only in a perfunctory manner, while
others work hard, but do not accom-
plish much.
What the commissioner has done is
The establishment of a comprehensive
course in the handling of the broom
and the shovel, the various cleaning
machines and other tools of the depart
ment There will be both laboratory
and field work
Commissioner Fetherston is engaged
in getting out a set of text books for
his school. Five of the fifteen that
will comprise the course are already of
the press. They contain the best prac-
tees for performing the various kinds
OF work, based on experience Of the
men IN the department and ideas
worked out by the commissioner and
his assistants.
When the men have learned the con-
tents Of the text books they will be
examined. Then they will receive oral
instruction at the stables, after which
they will be taken into the feld-the
streets-for actual practice under the
eye of competent instructors. One Of
the aims that will be held out 10 them
is the obtaining Of promotion through
becoming expert and efficient in their
duties. The five books already out deal
with hand sweeping, litter, rotary
sweeping machines, hand flushing and

WIFE SAYS PASTOR
BROKE AGREEMENT
Sing Sing Chaplain Sued for
Return of Couples
Younger Child.

The peace pact signed only few
weeks ago by the Rev. Burton Howard
Lee. rector Of St Msry's Episcopal
Church at Ossining and Protestant
chaplain at Sing Sing, and his wife,
Mrs. Katharine Lee. is now apparently
only a scrap Of paper Justice Page
acted as referee after both had sued
for separation, making many charges
and counter charges. The couple have
no, lived together since the truce.
Now Mrs. Lee has obtained in the
Supreme Court writ Of habeas corpus
directing the preacher TO produce their
three-year-old son, Templeton Lee. the
wife alleging that he is keeping the
child from her contrary TO the terms
Of the agreement.
There was good deal Of secrecy
about the terms Of the armed peace,
as the whole matter was settled in
the privacy of Justice Pages chambers
and the public file records were sealed.
With the application for the writ OF
habeas corpus the details are obtaina-
BILE for the first time.
The chief details concerned the DIS
position Of the children. Burton Lee
six years old, was to be temporarily
in the custory of the father. Temple
ton was TO stay with his mother. Dur
ing the summer she was TO have both
children for month and Mr.. Lee for
another month. Each parent was TO
be permitted 70 see the children az all
times.
The agreement also read: "The party
Of the second part Mrs. Lee with

necessary papers, TO the end that all
papers containing all charges may be
physically expunged from The. court
files or sealed therein, and II with
drawn these shall be destroyed in the
presence Of witnesses for both parties
Mrs. Lee included in her withdrawal
of charges those made by her mother
and sister, binding herself to get from
them signed statements withdrawing
what they had said about the minister.
She agreed 20 live with her mother
and within thirty miles of Ossining,
ard Mr.. Lee bound himself 10 pay his

A. c. Rogers, Who Ana
lived Dope" Came to
That Conclusion.
PREPARED CARTOONS
FOR GENERAL USE
Hints" He Arranged Took In
Ninety Per Cent of the
Examination.
by rsl.ersps TO N. Trsansl

Annapolis. June l9.-Midshipman A.
c. Rogers. who has been a defendant
since the proceedings began before the
court Of inquiry, occupied the stand all
this afternoon.
Rogers is the midshipman whose
knowledge Of French is so extensive
that members Of his own class and the
class above resorted 10 him for transla-
lions and other telp with the dope"
they received. The evidence which con-
meets Rogers with the proceedings was
furnished by Commander Traut, head
Of ths department Of modern languages,
who said that questions and answers
applicable 70 the examination and in
the handwriting Of Rogers had been
found near the examination room.
The witness admitted that he had
prepared translations Of matter brought
10 him BY Ensign Confer. Midshipman
Price. Of his own class, and others.
But he insisted h thought this was the
usual dope" afoat around eHamina-
tion time. and did not suspect IL was
the actual examination. He explained
that he made carbon copies for mid
shipmen who wanted information from
him. lie believed he had handled about
90 per cent Of the examination. He
had come 10 the conclusion, he said,
that some one had stolen the examina-
ton papers and circulated them.
Members Of the court sought to find
whether Rogers realized that he was
actually handling the examination. He
was asked 20 explain why he had num-
bercd the questions and answers in a
way which corresponded with the num-
bering on the official examination. He
said he had numbered the questions
and answers because some Of those he
helped were not sure 10 connect the
answers and questions.
Midshipman Rogers expressed the
opinion that a man in a low section
would not get as good a mark for the
same recitation as one in the higher
section. This opinion has been ex-
pressed by many midshipmen, but most
Of them were in low sections. 1t was
thought OF special significance when
coming from one of the best linguists
in the academy. The witness said that
if some advance information was not
given for the modern language exam
nations over half Of the class would
have failed.
The first testimony placed on the
record about the papers received by
Midshirman Moss, on which the whole
case against the seven midshipmen
rests. was given to-day by Midshipman
Edward II. Jones. roommate OF Mid
shipman T. ". Harrison, jr., one of
those recommended for dismissal.

JAIL FOR SIECEL,
DEMAND OF STATE
S15O,OO0 Offer NotEnough,
Justice Clarke Will Be
Told Tomorrow.
SOME DEPOSITORS
INSIST ON 100000
Use of Assets to Obtain Assents
to Compromise Plan Will
Be Investigated.

When Henry Siegel appears before
Justice Clarke, of the Supreme Court
in Geneseo, tomorrow, Assistant DIS
trict Attorney Arthur c. Train, VINO
prosecuted him, will ask that he be or
dered 70 serve his sentence OF ten
months in Jail, on the ground that ne
has failed 20 make the adequate recon-
pensation TO depositors in his bank that
the court had in view when il suspend
ed sentence last November.
SieCel's offer of $4,000 in cash now
and a promise to try and repay the bal
ance OF S2,200,000 owed the bank de-
positors is, in the opinion of the Dis
trict Attorneys Office, inadequate. TINS
is also the opinion of small group OF
depositors led by Mrs. Emeline Baker.
The majority Of the creditors, repre-
scented by a committee, headed by
Adolph Schwartz, and including in its
membership John King and William
Henkel, ir., trustees in bankruptcy OF
the Siegel bank, favor the acceptance
Of the offer.
Part of the states case will be the
record of the recent grand jury which
examined a large number Of witnesses
to determine the manner in which as
sents to Segel's plan were obtained
after Mrs. Baker and others had
charged that improper use of money
was responsible for this result.
John B. Stanchfeld, who defended
Siegel at his trial, will probably not be
in Geneseo, the Thaw case demanding
his presence in this city Siegeps in.
terests, it is expected, will be looked
out for by Henry D. Newton, leader OF
the Livingston County bar, who as
sisted Mr.. Stanchfeld at the trial.
The protesting depositors are insist
snt that Siegel pay at least double the
amount he offers to pay. His answer
to that is that $4,000 is all that his
relatives and friends are willing 10 pro
vide, and that he has no means of his
own 10 add to that amount.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1915-06-20

Jones testified that he had seen one OF
these examination sheets on Harrisons
table. He stated that nothing harrison
had said or done had led him to be
lieve that Harrison thought this was
the examination paper.
Midshipman Jones said he under
stood that Harrison had received the
napers from Moss, although he had no
certain information on the point, and
that Moss had received them through
the mail from a sender who was un-
known 10 him. he understood that
Moss had received mathematical WORK
in the same way.
The Judge advocate has called at
least six midshipmen who Will be ex-
amined or Monday, and the defendants
have a list Of considerable length.
Under the circumstances it Is almost
certain that the departure Of the prAc-
tiee squadron, already two weeks late,
for the San Francisco Exposition Will
be delayed at least until Thursday
morning.

Tha Dancing Mania.

The dancing mania" Of the middle
ages came on the heels of the great
plague known as the "black death. v
1t was some sort of nervous disease
and is now supposed to have been
what is known as "St. Vitus' dance
It began in the year 1874 at Aix-la-
Chapelle and spread all over Ger
many the Netherlands and Italy. The
dancers formed circles hand in hand
and appearing to have lost all reason
continued dancing, regardless of the
bystanders. for hours together until in
their wild delirium they fell to the
ground in sheer exhaustion. Painting
and foaming at the mouth. they would
suddenly spring up and begin the
dance again, to be again exhausted.
and so on until they died. The mania
involved millions Of people.
