and other departments in computing
the rate of compensation under the 5

act of June II, 1917.
That law provided for the extra COM

an additional sixty days at the same
rate, representing computation of leave
for two years-in all, 435 days in one

The auditor could not see that these
possible sixty days of commuted leave,
or any part of it, should receive the

Measure Designed to stiVwulate> Grain

the House.

Opposition to the government lending
money to farmers in any one section to
stimulate grain production was regis
tered by the House late yesterday.
Amendment was made to the bill de-
signed to aid farmers in tho spring
wheat belt of the northwest, making
lit applicable to the entire country.
Effort to defeat this measure after it
had been amended was baked by a
vote of 143 to 106.
After the measure had been amended,
lit was attacked as sectional legislation
by both democrats and republicans.
Chairman Lever of the agricultural
committee. in charge Of the bill, said
the committee believed farmers of the
northwest really needed governmental
aid this year because of the severe
drought, while farmers in other sec

The bill carries an appropriation of
$7.50O. 900 to be lent to farmers in
the spring wheat area to purchase seed.

BAY SHORE. Long Island, July 81
Gustav Kobbe, author, and art ana
music critic for "The New York Her
add" was killed to-day off Brightwaters
by naval hydroaeroplane, which
clipped off the mast of catbost which
Mr.. Kobbe was sailing.
The aviator, coming from the naval
station, had taken to the water about
one hundred feet from Mr.. Kobbe's
boat and set his planes to rise again.
The wind forced him to swerve slightly
toward the catboat, and his climbing
was slower than he had expected, for
the machine barely cleared the gun
vale of the boat.
The mast was snapped like match
and the planes edge crushed Mr..
Kobbe's skull as he rose to dive over
board. The writer had not suspected
that he was in danger, nor had he made
moment, according to the naval OBJ
server at the station, who saw the &C.
cident through his glasses.
The aviator, whose view was cut off
by his machine, had no inkling of the
accident and continued his fight. His
name was not divulged. An inquest
was ordered by Coroner Edwin F.
Moore.
Mr. Kobbe was born in New York in
1857 and was graduated from Columbia
University in 1877, receiving the de-
gree of A. M. there two years later,
when, also, he was graduated from the
Columbia law school. lie began his

watched all points of approach warily
shifting her hindquarters In accord

DR.. Fields came within range Maud
turned loose both hind heels, coming
within fraction Of an inch of making
civilian casualty.
On the advice of Major Charles H.
Smith, camp quartermaster, DR.. Fields
retired to a previously prepared posi-
ton, where he donned a uniform.
When he returned thus attired he was
flanked on one side by soldier beat
ing drum and on the other by one
bearing flag. Maud viewed the tableau
with approval and took her pills.

Realty Men Say
Board of Estimate

Change of Classification for
58th Street Called Viola
ton of Rule

Violation Of the zoning resolution
was charged by the Real Estate Board
yesterday as result of the action Of
the Board of Estimate and Apportion-
ment in changing Fifty-eighth Street
between Sixth and Seventh Avenues
from a residential to business street.
The change was made on the applica-
ton Of two property Aowners, it was
stated, and without considering the
wishes of the others affected. The
building zone resolution adopted July
26, 1916, restricted this part of West
Fifty-eighth Street to residences.
Steinway & Sons contracted to pur-
chase two private houses at 112 and
ia West Fifty-eighth Street, intending
to erect sales house on the two sites
and running back to Fifty seventh
Street. The purchasers refused to con-
GUIDE the deal on learning of the re-
sidential restriction, and were upheld
by the courts. 1t was then that the
Board of Estimate acted in behalf of
the two property owners and, by q
resolution, changed the character of
the entire block.

extraordinary conduct on the part of
the board lies in the fact that it de-
sstroys the protection supposed to have
been afforded to real estate by the
zoning resolution and ordinance" it
was stated by the Real Estate Board.
with startling clearness it becomes
apparent that the protection thus af-
forded is not stronger than the arbi-
trary will of the officials who admin
lister the coming restrictions.
The effect upon property values in
this block was totally disregarded.
High grade apartment houses cannot
survive on the same street with stores.
and the result will be an Immediate
and certain loss in values. 1t is est-
mated that the removal of the restric-
ton will depreciate such property at
least 20 per cent"

Can Company Urges Delay
Says Anti Trust Action Now
Would Slacken War Work

WASHINGTON. July 25.-Necessity
for concentrating on war work was
made the basis for motion by
the American Can Company before the
Federal Trade Commission to postpone
action on the commissions complaint
against the company until the Supreme
Court decides the antitrust case, which
was said to involve many of the same
allegations. The motion was taken un-
der advisement.
Violation of the Clayton act was
charged in the commissions complaint,
especially the making Of long-term ex-
elusive contracts with the alleged in
tention of driving out competition. 1t
was said that the commission had evil
dence of six contracts in which lower
prices were given fruit and vegetable
packers before the expiration of their
old contracts on condition that they
trade exclusively with the defendant.
Competitors were attempting to obtain
business in California, and there were
rumors of a new can concern being
established, according to John Walsh,
chief counsel of the commission.
Representatives of the company said
the company was filling $6O,00O,0O0 in
war contracts and that to push the
complaint now would interfere serious
ly with the work.

NelU York Labor Leaders
Are Jubiim,t at Ne.us
OF Reprieve for Mooney

The decision of Governor Stephens
of California, to reprieve Thomas J.
Mooney, condemned labor agitator, was
received jubilantly by New York labor
leaders. Plans to obtain a rehearing of
the case were formulated at once, and
it was said there is a strong possibility
of saving the mans life.
Governor Stephens's action came as a
surprise. Although President Wilson
made several attempts to interfere in
MONEYS behalf, it was generally be-
lieved the sentence of the court would
be carried out.
The belated action of the Governor Of
California will not interfere with the
mass meeting protesting against Moon
ey's execution which delegates of the
Central Federated Union will hold to-
day at Carnegie Hall. The meeting
will take place simultaneously with
many others in various parts of the
country. large delegation of union
1 men will appeal in person to President
wilson tomorrow, asking him to con-
tinue to use his influence in an effort
to gain Mooney a retrial.
"The reprieve will give labor chance
to organize a new line Of defence and
fight for MONEYS life" said Ernest
Bohm, corresponding secretary of the
Central Federated Union. "If we can
obtain fair, impartial trial we're al
most certain this time of an acquittal"
The Mooney case dates back to July
%, 1916. At a preparedness parade
held in San Francisco on that day
suitcase filled with dynamite was
thrown among the marchers and ex-
ploded. Ten people were killed and
fifty injured.
Mooney, his wife. Rena; Warren B.
Billings, Israel Weinberg and Edward
D. Nolan, all labor workers, were ar
rested. Mooney was the only one of
the five who received death sentence
at the subsequent trials. Labor men
throughout the country have insisted
that he was the victim of a political
conspiracy.

STAMFORD, Conn. July 27.-Dr
Stephen S. Wise, of the Free Syna-

his first weeks work as laborer in a

more good than l could possibly get
