u. 5. NEEDS CASH
FOR AERO TESTS
Must Have Facilities if Aviation
Corps Is to Equal
EurOpe's.

Washington, Dec. 15.-Roquesting an
appropriation of $4,000 for aeronau-
teal investigation, tho report OF the
National Advisory Com: ittee on Aero
nautics, authorized by an amendment
to the naval appropriations bill last
year, was sent to Congress by Presi-
dent Wilson to-day. Tho appropria-
tion last year was only $1,000 so that
little more than d start could be made.
The committee, consisting Of repre-
sentatiyes Of all the scientific and
military branches Of the government,
declared in its report that the use of
aircraft in the war in Europe will
rapidly force seronautics into COM
mercla! fields, involving Developments
Of which to-day we barely dream
In asking for flying field, and the
money necessary to carry on its work,
the committee says:
III the committee Is 10 be prepared
to keep pace with the needs Of the
very rapid development already under
way, stimulated by the unusual con-
ditions existing in Europe, the facili-
ties and technical assistance recon-
mended are essential"
So little interested in the report WAS
the House of representatives, which
received it to-day, that il was not even
ordered printed. The Presidents
message accompanying the report was
ordered printed, but apparently it ras
not thought necessary that the in
formation inclosed with the message
should be read by the members Of
Congress.
Labor Wants Hand in Defence.
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation Of Labor, to-day
told President Wilson that organized
labor was ready 20 give its support to
the defence of the nation. and should
be allowed a voice in making prepara-
tons.
Mr.. Gompers asked the President TO
appoint q representative of labor 10 the
commission he may name TO confer
with army and navy officers on the
mobilization of the nations resourcec.
Since the war started. Mr.. Gompers
sa d, belligerent nations had included
representatives of labor in every i'm
portant activity.
The President said he would consider
the suggestion carefully.

MULLIGAN GUARDS
NEARLY LOSE GUEST
DR.. Harrigan, Son of Famous
Ned, Chooses Duty to Song
at Annual Reunion.

Dr.. Anthony Hart Harrigan, whose
name is one to conjure with wherever
members Of the Mulligan Guards as
semble-the guards having no other
mission than TO keep the memory Of
Tony Hart and Ned Harigan as green
as the Irish hills from which they
sprang that duty and desire lay
in different directions last night.
Down in the "armory," at 70 Eighth
Avenue, the guards had come together,
800 strong, TO sing the songs which Dr..
Hsrrigan's father and godfather made
famous. And up in Fordham Hospital
was a woman whose life might be
saved by an operation.
The doctor hadn't missed a single
reunion Of the guards, but it took him
no longer to reach a decision that it
took his father to dash of; one of the
homely ballads which have outliyed
him.
"ITl be very late if get there at
ALL" he told Jimmy Geagan, captain Of
the guards, over the telephone. mo, I
can't even promise to hurry. A life is
at stake"
Il was after midnight--which. after
all isn't so very late for the Mulligans
on the night Of nights-when Dr. Har-
riean jumped from an automobile in
front Of Jimmy EagletOn's saloon,
otherwise the "armory."
The chorus of song he knew 6nd
loved drifted to the Doctors ears. 1t
was Joe Sparks singing-the same old
Sparks who was one Of the leading
Harrigan and Hart comedians, and who
was the first 70 sing Little Old Du-
deem"
Joe was not the only member Of the
original company who was present.
Harry Fisher was there to sing THE
Babies on Our Block" and Dan Coll
yer obliged with maggie Murphy's
Home" None of the three was as
spry at clogging as he used TO be. bA
the Guards didn't appear to notice
that.
The elite Of Greenwich Village, or that
part of the village which still remains
to "tht Irish and the Dootch," with
Bohemia crowding in from the dlrec-
ton of Washington Square, were there
to listen and 10 join in the choruses'

hundred and fifty persons attended the

when he said in his address that he
was opposed to stringent legislation in
regard to automobilists. and that he
believed car owners should have all

At the conclusion of his speech Mr..

Wilson and Governor Whitman. This

this revival spirit and give up taking
gamblers chances to beat the law in
one way or another, the whole question
would be solved.
After predicting that if some sort OF
reasonable regulation which would be
effective in curing the speed mania

Somewhere in Russia an uncle of

sighed Fitzgerald.
Tumie Mikes only response to queries
was "Gotm on Got'm on"
Abrams led the search Of Mixes cell.
So intense was the interest in the hunt
that Mike was forgotten. But he fol-
lowed the searchers without grinning
and met all questions the same way.
"Got'm on Got'm on" was as far
as Mike would venture, which did not
convince the police. The police matron
became a recruit, but hoped she would
not be the one TO solve the mystery.
