Woman Who Says She Is Widow
Joins Family in Hunt

A search was made yesterday at the
Hotel Empire for a will among the eff
fects of Edgar Schiefelin, who shot
himself at the hotel en- last Tuesday
morning.
Several members of the family and
the woman who. says she is the widow
Of Mr.. Schieffelin, were present. she
left the hotel half an hour before the
others. and it was said that the dis
cussion had been amicable.
A representative of the family said
little had been accomplished by the
informal meeting, the greater part OF
the time having been devoted TO read
ing Mr.. Schieffelin's papers.
No will was found and it was said
that unless one is discovered o-day
the woman who says she is the widow
probably will apply to the Surrogate
Court for an order TO open the Schlef .
felin box in the safe deposit vault. II
no will is there. il is asserted, she wall
then apply for letters of administra-
ton.
A representative of Harold Swain,
counsel for the family, said that none

tributed until it was known TO whom
they rightfully belonged.

Says Coast Artillery Has
No Planes or
Balloons

The United States is behind all the
first, second and third class nations in
military aeronautics, and there is not
q single aeroplane, kite balloon or
dirigble corrected with the coast artil-
lery, Alan R. Hawley, president of the
Aero Club of America, reported last
night at the annual meeting Of the
club.
Perhaps the most deplorable evil
dence Of our backwardness," said the
report, ais the fact that not one of the
batteries of the nine regiments OF heid
artillery, comprising forty-five bat
teries, has a single aeroplane or kite
balloon to use in spotting artillery fire.
European countries allow one areo-
plane in the air and two in reserve for
each battery and an unlimited number
of kite balloons. The United States
field artillery should nave at least one
aero squadron and six kite balloons for
each of the nine districts"
out aerial equipment the coast artillery
would be at the mercy of long range
guns of vessels lying beyond the vision
of artillery observers stationed in the
forts.
Even the smallest countries in the
Balkans and Turkey are using aero
planes and kite balloons in connection
with their artillery" Mr.. Hawley said.
ITrs+oI orttll IVY
should have at least two aero squad
rons for the North Atlantic District.
two squadrons for the South Atlantic
District, one for the Panama Canal
Zone, one for the Pacific. one in the
Philippine Department and one in the
Hawaiian Department. There should
be one kite balloon to each fort and at
least one dirigible fo- each coast artil-
lery district.
This makes a total of seventeen aero
squadrons, 1877 kite balloons and six
dirigbes that should be put into SER
vice, exclusive of the aero squadrons
(there is at present one organized and
two planned), kite balloons and dirig-
ibles planned for other branches of the
service"
Mr.. Hawley said that, in view of the
recent large aeronautic appropriations,
ave can now expect thorough consid-
Grafton from Congress in the work of
upbuilding our aerial defences, and it
is now up to the administration of the
aviation section of the War and Navy
departments to put their shoulders to
the wheel, pass by academic theories
and concentrate In training aviators
and getting aircraft in number"
1t was resolved to submit seven rec
cancellations to President Wilson, the
members of the House and Senate, the
Council of National Defence and the
Secretaries Of War and the Navy.
Several new governors were elected
and the officers were reelected. Among
tie governors who take Office for the
first time are Brigadier General Rob-
ert K. Evans, U. S. A; Howard f. COT
fin, Rear Admiral Robert +. Peary and
Alberto Santos-Dumont.
Alexander Graham Bell was elected
an honorary member of the club.

STUDENT AVIATOR DIES
FROM FALL ON SEPT. 8
Struthers One of Two in Acct
dent in Governors Island

J. Walter Wood Struthers. of az
West Seventy-third Street. who. while
flying with Charles Deere Wiman. of
Moline. H.. fell 800 feet to earth at
Governors Island on September 8, died
yesterday morning at the government
post hospital as p result of the acct
dent.
Struthers regained consciousness
only a few times. and then for only a
few minutes. His father. an architect,
Of Is West Thirtieth Street. and his
brothers. William W. Struthers. banker.
Of 43 Exchange place. and Robert, lr.,
Of 81 Wall Street, were at the bedside
when he died.
Both Struthers and Wiman were
members of the Governors Island Avi-
alton School. They had been flying
for six months or more and had re-
ceived their civilian aviator's licenses.
They were soon TO have tried to pass
the military reserve aviator tests.
Just how the accident occurred has
never been learned. Struthers was IN
the forward seat of the Curtiss plane
and Wiman behind him. At about 900
feet q sharp explosion was heard. the
'plane spiralled swiftly to earth. the
engine burying itself more than foot
in the soft turf.
1t was at first thought that Wiman
was the more severely injured. HIS
spendid constitution-he was a Yale
oarsman and assistant coach OF the
crew-helped his quick recovery. He
is now walking with the aid of crutches
and may recover completely.

w. PULITZER, WIFE
SAYS, ENVIED HER DOG
Calls Him Cruel in Separation
Suit

Walter Pulitzer, son of the late Al
bert Pulitzer and nephew of the late
Joseph Pulitzer, is being sued for
separation. by Mrs. Lillian Hearne Pu-
liter, whom he married in 1909.
The wife alleges cruel and inhumar
treatment on the part of her husband.
Mrs. Pulitzer alleges that he not
only ill-treated her, but also was cruel
to her pet bulldog, of which she says
her husband was jealous. Pulitzer's
physical violence made her arms black
and blue, says the plaintiff.
"He compelled me-" she continues lr
her complaint. "to sit before him on a
settee continually from $3.50 in the
afternoon until and after IL o'clock in
the evening, during all of which time
he harangued me and abused me and
kept me in fear of bodily injury"
Pulitzer has filed an answer, denying
his wife's charges, blaming much OF
the trouble in the household on his
mother-in-law, Mrs. JEANNE W. Hearne
Mr.. Pulitzer's side of the story is
that his wife left home in jealous
rage and that his doors are open for
her return. The dog incident hap
pened six years ago, he asserts, and he
adds that he is great admirer OF dogs
and a member of kennel club.

Appeal

Washington, Nov. 13.-Argument over
whether the Mann white slave" act APP
plies to personal immoral escapades or
only to cases involving transportation
Of women for commercial gain began
late to-day before the Supreme Court.
The law itself has been upheld by the
court, but the question of interpreta-
ton is raised for the first time in APP
peals of F. Drew Caminetti and Maury
|. Diggs, of Sacramento, and l.. I.
Hays, of Alva. Okla, all charged with
transporting women in violation of the
law, but with the elements of CONNER
cialism and coercion absent.
The present administration Of the
Department of Justice has brought
prosecutions in all cases of transporta-
ton of women for immoral purposes,
whether for commercial purposes or
not.
During to-day's hearing Harry 0.
Chaser, of counsel for the appellants
insisted that the title of the white
slave" act itself indicated absence OF
intent by Congress TO have the law APP
piled TO cases Of mere immortality"
Assistant Attorney General wallace
argued that Congress had the power to
prevent immortality by barring trans
portation of women for immoral pur-
noses. and that the Mann act should be
so construed.

should not be a factor" SAID Mr. wa

Mitchell IS A WITNESS
IN HERALD" LIBEL SUIT
Fire Commissioners Brother and
Tirrell Seek 100000

Mavor Mitchell and Controller Prem
dergast were witnesses in the Supreme
Court yesterday in the trial of libel
suit brought by Tilden Adamson, head
Of the Bureau of Contract Supervision
and Supplies in the Controllers office
against "The New York Herald"
Adamson, a brother Of Robert Adam
son. Fire Commissioner. and George
L. Tirrell, head of the Bureau Of
Standardization, are suing for 100000
damages because the newspaper said
they obtained an increase Of salary
through "trickery."
The Mayor and Controller testified
that they we're aware that Adamson
was to receive an increase from $4,000
to $500 a year in the budget OF his
bureau for 1915. 1t is the contention
of the defendant that while there may
have been no irregularity in the grant
ing of the increase, the manner IN
which il was done was unlawful.
Counsel for 1.-The Herald" contended
in opening the case that the law re-
ouired ar itemized budget from each
depattment, showing what each item
is for. The increase in the Adamson
bureau. he said, was Jumped together,
so that il did not show for what the
increase was asked. Nor did "The City
Record" publish the purpose of the
increase or show that Adamson's sal
airy was being increased, said the law
yer. this, too, being provided TO enable
taxpayers TO have a public hearing.
The lump sum as published was a
proceeding in the dark" contended
counsel for the newspaper. In pub
fishing the alleged libel, he said, "The
Herald" merely performed its duty as
a newspaper, to keep the public in
formed on matters relating to public
affairs. The trial will be continued
to-day
