PROVES BEES ARE HIS
BY ITALIAN ACCENT
Yonkers Lawyer COnvinces the
Court He Owns Missing Swarm.

There are bees and bees. as City
Judge Beall. Of Yonkers, discovered
yesterday. Several days ago a colony
belonging TO Kenneth W. Brown, a
Yonkers lawyer. swarmed. Looking for
a good place to alight, they came upon
Fred Eckes, who was mending a tin
Ioof, and, giving ear TO Eckes's tune
ful hammering, descended upon the
caves of the house.
About that time the whistles blew
and Mr.. Eckes stopped work. On his
way home he met Albert Stevens, whose
bees had also swarmed away from him.
Eckes directed him TO the swarm on
the roof and Stevens gratefully led
them home.
Brown heard of the swarm Stevens
had retrieved, and by mutual consent
the matter was taken 10 court. There
Brown showed that the bees Stevens
had mistakenly taken home had an
Italian accent, while Stevens own bees
were Yankee.
81 determine that Brown has estab
lished ownership" said Judge Beall.

NEEDS S22,0O0,0OO
MOREFOR TUBES
1918 Figures Inadequate,
p. S. &. Tells Board
of Estimate.

An appropriation of S22,000,000 over
and above the amounts provided in
1913 will be required to complete the
municipal subway lines included in the
contracts of the dual system, the Board
of Estimate and Apportionment was
told yesterday by the Public Service
Commission.
Commissioner Travis II. Whitney and
lie Roy T. Harkness, chief Of rapid
transit. in a carefully compiled report
cited as reasons for the increase some
features not considered three years
ago, such as the advanced price of ma
terials and labor, brought: on by the
European war.
Commissioner Whitney explained
that the report was forwarded now that
the Board Of Estimate might arrange
10 provide the necessary money. The
entire amount, however. will have to be
forthcoming only as contracts are let
for actual construction.
By the estimates of March, 1918, i.
was understood that the lines to be
operated by the Interborough would
cost Sl2l SOP 900. with a contribution
of S5S, 900, 900 from the company Est'-
mates completed on May Of this year
showed that the completion OF these
lines would call for an appropriated =
of S125.9O2 600 The latest estimates
show that the actual construction vii!
be done for Sl,309,000 less than the
ff,4. ha
if n resale of surplus property can be
carried out as anticipated will show a
balance of trife over 100000. On
the other hand, interest during con
struction will run about s6,250,000 over
original estimates.
On this basis the net effect will be
that an additional s4.350,000 must be
appropriated 10 carry out Contract No.
8 of the dual system.
In the matter of contract No. 4, which
has 70 do with the city and the Brook
lyn Rapid Transit Company, the appro-
priations Of March, 1913. put the cost
of lines 10 be operated by the New
York Municipal Railway Corporation at
Sl1l.002, 900, of which Sl3,500,00 was
to come from the b. X. T.
IL now appears that this cost Will
slightly exceed Sl3l 800, 900. Construc-
tion work will cost about $4,000
more, while the interest item runs
ahead of the original by s4,10s, 900 and
the real estate about s5,l2s000.
Net increase in the cost of construc-
tion work itself, the report says, is
only $1,000, 900 on the original estimate
of s202. .OOO,O 900 for construction, or less
than 3l2 per cent.
The report emphasizes the fact that
interest was mistakenly figured on
completion of tho system in four years,
with the rate of interest fo- half that
period.

SWEARS EMO PRAISED
COLUMBIA AND N. Y. u.
Engineer Says Millionaire Held
They Raised Realty Values.

John II. Benjamin, consulting en-
gineer, testified yesterday before JUS
tice Cohalan that the late Amos +.
Emo thought Columbia and New York
universities had done much toward
spreading the city" and increasing
the value of real estate near them.
The contestants have insisted contln-
uOusly that Emo hated educational in
stitutions in such way that his gift
of S4,000,000 to Columbia showed him
TO have been incompetent when he
made his will.
The story of the burning of certain
of Eno's papers shortly after his death
was retold yesterday by John +. Merz,
confidential clerk in the Office OF the
attorneys for Eno's executors. Merz
admitted going to the Emo residence,
80 Fifth Avenue, and throwing away
many OF the aged mans effects. He
said they were mainly social and other
letters of no value. The relatives Of
the testator. who are fighting to break
the will, have insisted that they were
of great Importance as showing Eros
attitude toward his nephews and nieces.
They also contend that there may
have been another will among them
and that they were more literally pre-
vided for in it.

New York Bankers Urged
to Extend Aid to That
Country.
PRESIDENT CRITICISED
FOR CHANGING POLICY
Believed To Be Trying to
Rectify Mistake Made
in 1918.
From Tie Tribune Bur-su.l

Washington, July 10.-The State De-
partment is actively trying 70 obtain
for subscription by American bankers
loan of several millions 20 the Chinese
government, it was announced officially
to-day. Although rumors OF this have
been heard recently, they were gener-
ally discredited, because OF the posi-
ton taken by President Wilson against
the proposed fve-power loan In March,
1918.
At that time Mr. Wilson was ap-
preached by bankers desirous OF taking
part in a sl25,OOO,OO0 loan. The bank
ers said they would not advance
dollar without Mr.. wilson's approval,
and the President, in public state
ment, declared that because Of the
obligations which such loan imposed
on the government he must disap-
prove it.
II was learned to-day, however, that
william Phillips, Third Assistant Sec
retary of State, had been conferring
with New York bankers, among them
]. P. Morgan G. Co., urging them to
extend the aid which the Chinese gov
ernment has asked for emergency ex-
perses. The attitude of the bankers
toward the proposal is not altogether
sympathetic.
Administration officials say that
President Wilson's new stand does not
mark a change in policy on the foreign
loan question, as the present transac-
tion is 20 be for such a small amount
as to have no possible political sig-
nifcance. Ii is understood, however,
that China's present request for Amer
ican aid IS only forerunner OF larger
demands in the near future.
Many Administration officials are
Convinced that the Presidents attitude
Of three years ago was mistake and
that he intends 10 modify II. In some
quarters, however, it is declared that
il is too late for the United States TO
get footing in China, and the Presi-
dents disapproval of the original loan
is blamed for the new Russo-Japanese
treaty, which il is feared will close the
open door.
II is pointed out. also, that President
Wilson's principle OF participation
in foreign loans already has been vio-
lated in hayti. where American capital
is secured by customs collections ad-
ministered by American agents.

New Safeguard Against
Infant Paralysis Put
in Effect.
500 CHILDREN GET
LONGER VACATIONS
Not One Case of Illness Develops
Among 1,400 Little Guests
of Fund.

The infantile paralysis epidemic is
not an unmitigated evil. At least about
five hundred smal! New Workers came
to that conclusion yesterday.
About three hundred and fifty of
them are at Ashford Hill, one of The
Tribune Fresh Air Funds vacation
homes, at Ardsley, n. Y; another hun
dred are at st. Helen's, Tribune home
at Interlaken, Mass; the rest at Elm
Cottage and North Shore Holiday
House, homes located at Fairfield,
Conn, and Cold Spring Habor, L. l.,
respectively.
fund yesterday decided that it would
be unwise to send new parties of Fresh
Airs" 10 ill these homes this week, and
that the children now being enter
talned in them should be kept there for
Il few days longer.
When the boys and girls were in
formed of this decision, with one ac-
cord they raised cheer that proved
conclusiyely that they did not realize
the gravity of the reasons for the
iengthenlng of their vacations.
Not single case of illness of any
kind has developed among the fourteen
hundred guests OF the fund now in the
country. It is interesting 10 note in this
connection the statement of the Depart
ment Of Health, made yesterday, that
no cases of infantile paralysis have
been discovered among the children IN
city institutions. IL Is evidently quite
possible to keep children together in
large numbers and till guard them
against the disease.
The epidemic has seriously hampered
the work of the fund. Invitations to
the number Of two thousand, which had
been extended for Fresh Air guests by
farmers and villagers who usually en-
tertain children have been cancelled
during the past week.
Some of these will be reeXtended
when it is evident that the epidemic
has been brought under control. Many
others will not be, however, but will
be lost for this season.
This means that the fund will be
compelled. for this year, 20 provide a
larger percentage of outings in its own
Fresh Air homes and camps. This
will materially increase the expenses
of the fund for the season; but it is
confidently expected that, when the
public realizes this fact, it will rally
more generously than ever to the sup
port of the work, and so make it pos
sible to provide as many outings as in
former years.
