Patrolman Praised
After He Killed Man
Did Right, Says Court, in
Shooting Wife Annoyer Who
Drew Revolver

"You did the right thing, and l dis
charge you with commendation," said
Magistrate Nasn yesterday to Patrol
man William O'Dwyer, arraigned in the
Fifth Avenue court on a charge Of
homicide. Earlier in the day O'Dwyer
shot and killed William Rose, Long
Island Railroad brakeman, in the lat
ter's home, at 231 Sixty-fifth Street,
Bay Ridge.
ODwyer was on his way to his sta
tlon house, he told the court, when he
was approached by Joseph Rose, four
teen-year-old boy, who said his father
was trying to kill his mother. O'Dwyer
accompanied the boy home, but the
elder Rose had disappeared. Later the
boy telephoned the Fourth Avenue
police station that his father had re-
turned and was attacking Mrs. Rose.
O'Dwyer was sent to the house. As
he entered, Rose, he declared, defed
the policeman to arrest him and drew
a revolver, whereupon ODwyer killed
him instantly.
ga charge of this kind is the most
asinine thing l have ever heard Of"
said Magistrate Nash, in dscharging
the policeman. "1nstead Of making it
easy for the officer to perform his duty,
it puts hardship upon him. A charge
Of this kind should be made only when
there is reasonable probability that a
crime has been committed"

Measure Permits Commis-

Mayor Urged Its Veto
Called 1t Raid on City Treas
ury, but Executive Takes
Issue With Him
Especial Correspondence

ALBANY. April 2o.-Over the protest
of Mayor Hylan Governor Whitman to-
day signed the bill enlarging the duties
of the newly created Bronx County
Commission of Records and permitting
it. instead Of the New York CITY Board
of Estimate, to fix the salaries of en-
ployes.
The creation of the office was one of
those measures that Mayor Hylan de-
clared constituted a raid on the city's
treasury. He asked the Governor to
veto the bill on the ground that "there
is no necessity for the Office. it is a
fragrant violation of home rule, and no
such unnecessary and uncalled for ad-
d!tlonal financial burdens should be
placed upon the people of the city when
the taxes are so high, the demands in
cldent to the war SO great and the
probability of a direct tax so certain. j"
The Governor in his memorandum
declared the Mayors arguments did not
seem sound, as the veto of the bill
would not abolish the commission.
"The original law" said the Gov
ernor, "gave the county officers the an
pointment Of The Commissioners Of Rec-
ords,. and, although belonging to the
political party OF the Mayor, these
county officers appointed a member of
former Mayor Mitchel's administration.

Reported That He Will
Take Early Action on
Programme
New Plans Worked Out
Experienced Civilian Probably
Will Be Placed in Charge
of the Situation
(By The Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, April 20.-Earlv ac
ton toward cleaning up the situation in
regard to the aviation programme of
the army is expected by War Depart
ment officials. Secretary Baker, it was
learned to-day, is rapidly familiarizing
himself with all that took place re-
garding the air forces during his ab-
sence in Europe, and it is believed an
nouncement concerning the steps to be
taken will be made within a few days.
Army officials think there should be
no more delay than is absolutely neces-
sary, as they feel that the Signal Corps
and the plants engaged on aircraft pro
duction are slowed up by the present
disturbed situation. Mr. Baker is un-
dcrstood to share this view.
Plans To Be Adopted
1t has been Indicated that the plans
for readjusting the organization for
the production of aircraft which prob
ably will be adopted are those worked
out by Assistant Secretaries Crowell
and Stettinius and Major General
March, acting chief of staff. General
March is known to have interested him
self especially in the problem of get
ting the air service into full operation
in the shortest possible time Informa-
tlon and recommendations furnished
by the investigating committee headed
by II. Snowden Marshall are understood
to have played an important part in

Money Is Realized at Bridge

1t was learned last night that one of
the methods employed by public spirit
ed New Workers in helping raise funds
for the New York Division, the 9th,
U. S. A, was by means OF bridge par
ties and dances. A large bridge and
dance was given last Monday night for
this purpose at the home of Mr.. and

cap was filled several times with con-
tributions toward the recruiting ex-
penses of the detail, whose aim is to
preserve for the New York division the
distinction of being the only volunteer
division from any one state. Captain
Tristram Tupper, who heads the detail
in this city, received the contributions
later, which amounted to $1,000.

Britaiin's Budget
Is sExpected To Be
$15,0OO,0O0,0OO
Bill To Be Presented To-
morrow Highest Ever Con-
sidered by Parliament
Copyright by Underwood 4 Underwood

LONDON, April 2c.-The budget which
Andrew Bonar Law, Chancellor of the
EXchequcr, will present in the House of
Commons Monday will be the highest
financial bill that Parliament has yet
had to consider. Forecasts by finan-
cial writer's give tile estimated ex-
penditure for the fiscal year, which
began April 1, at $15,000,000, 900. The
estimated revenue on the present scale
of taxation is $3.50, 100000 which
would result in a deficit of $11 ,250000,-
600, to be covered by war loans and in
creased taxation.
The country is prepared to accept
greatly increased taxes, and expects
the government to propose to raise at
least $500, 100000, and perhaps even
double that amount, thereby. Some of
the leading financial experts have been
for a long time advocating more taxes
and less borrowing to pay the costs of
the war.
Some even support levy on capital,
instead of an increased income tax.
The majority opinion, however, holds
that levy on capital presents so many
practical difficulties that it could not
be arranged without working great in
justice to individuals and wreckng
certain classes OF business enterprises.
Tax on Luxuries Expected
The principal innovation expected is
q tax on luXuries, similar to that in
France, where a wide range of articles,
from motor cars to pajamas, pay spe-
cial duties. Expensive clothing, jewelry
and art objects are likely to be includ-
ed in this scheme.
London is the worlds centre for art
auctions. Never have such high prices
been bid as in the last two or three
years, and this fact, coupled with the
popular impression that the buyers are
war profiteers, has stirred up demand
that the government Treasury levy u
toll on auction rooms.
The income tax has long been the
backbone of the British Treasury. 1t
has been found to be the most even and
easily collected Of all imposts Hence
the Chancellor will naturally give an
other turn of the screw there. The
present fiat rate is 5 shllings in the
pound. 1t is expected that this will be
increased to shillings 8 pence, while
the supertax, which is now payable on
incomes Of $4,000, will be extended to
those of $4,000.
On the other hand, abatements in the
income tax for children are expected to
be made more liberal. No increase in
the excess profits tax is now expected.
1t IS at the present time so per cent.
Big Profits on Liquor and Beer
Distilleries and breweries have been
reaping higher dividends in the last
year than at any time in their history,
and the public confidently looks for the
diversion of more of their profits into
the Treasury. The present position il
that retail prices are double or more
alcohol in the beverages has been
hnlyed bv the law

State Board Hears
West Side Acid
Fumes Complaints
Score Of Residents Testify
Condition Is lntolerable
and Should Be Abated

The State Board of Health held a
public hearing yesterday in the Alder
manic Chamber at the City Hall on
the complaints Of the West End Asso-
citation and other civic boales and resi-
dents of the upper West Side, protest
ing against the acid fumes and noxious
odors from the chemical plants located
in New Jersey opposite Riverside
Drive. The city also is joint com
plainant. DR.. Herman M. Biggs, State
Commissioner of Health, presided.
The defendant companies were the
Corn Products Company, the Barrett
Company, the General Chemical Com
peny and the Vaivaline Oil Company.
If the State Board of Health sustains
the complaint against the four corpora
tions they may be prevented from
doing business within the State of New
York. An amendment to the general
lature on May /, 1917 provides for the
revocation of any license to do bus-
ness in New York OF any corporation
that maintains nuisance in another
state affecting the people Of New York.
Several hundred complaints from
property owners were offered in eyi
dence by William II. Page, counsel for
the West End Associa ton. A score of
citizens were examined as witnesses.
scnted 250,000 residents living between
Fifty-ninth Street and Manhattan
Street on the west side of Manhattan.
An effort was made by the corpora
tion lawyers to have the petition dis
missed on the ground that it grouped
a number of concerns generally with
out specifying directly that any one
was at fault. The motion was over
ruled. Corporation Counsel William
p. Burr and DR.. William j. O'Sullivan
represented the city
Mrs. Charles A. Bryan. of 282 West
End Avenue, the first witness called,
testified that acid fumes filled her
home at frequent intervals, irritating
her throat and nostrils and bringing
on tears and coughing spells. She said
that because Of the fumes she could
not occupy her home during the sum
mer months. She denied that the irri-
tant fumes came from the coal used
by the railroad along the waterfront.
Willard II. Mitchell, Of 321 West
timony. He said he had noticed the
offensive odors since the summer Of
1915. and that they were extremely
annoying and irritating. The last time
he noticed them was on Tuesday last.
Mrs. william Grant Brown, George
A. Suter, Mrs. Henry A. Wise Wood.
William II. Button and Franklin p.
Duryea were among the other witnesses
who testified They all agreed that the
condition caused by the fumes was in
