80 Taken as Spectators
In Prize Fight Tickets
Some Fined, Several Given Sus.
pended Sentences and Just
One Is DISCHARGED

About thirty men we're arraigned in
night court last night on a charge OF
spcculating in tickets at the Leonard
yelling fight in Madison Square Gar
den. Magistrate SHERMAN fined some,
whom he recognized as professionals,
IS or $40 each, suspended sentence on
several and discharged Samuel W.
Greenfield.
Greenfield, who lives ut 953 Aldus
Street, the Bronx, had paid SO to man
willing to take his place in an orchos-
ira for the evening and paid $40 more
for ticket to the fight. He told mag
istrate Silberman that just as Joke
he had inquired Of the man next to him
in line at the Garden if he didn't want
to buy his ticket. The man turned out
to be detective, he said. and the
Joke proved to be tragedy, as. after
his investment Of $19, he had failed to
see the fight.
Benjamin NJ. Lorszin, Of 1919 Fifth
Avenue, Brooklyn, explained his arrest
by saying that he had taken his little
boy to the Garden for treat and
when he discovered that the child
would not be admitted was trying to
give away his tickets. Sentence was
suspended in his case

He grappled with them and was felled

type, but these forbidding words
merely express the fact that It Is Of
fishlikc form, shaped ou. of she'll Of

Of layer upon layer of veneer, strength
cned with tape, the lightest, TOUCHES at
and strongest material known to avia-

Features Of Air Wonder
The powerful engine is completely
enclosed. Even the hub of the pro-
peller is shaped into a conical boss
to reduce head resistance. The wings.
interspaced with only two struts. are
one on either side CT the body These
struts are very thick, and are Of I
formation, carefully stream-lined.
The elimination of resistance has
been carried to an absolute science. in
designing the remarkable machine. A
fairing," or humplike projection in
streaming form, is built into the body
Immediately behind the cockpit. This
is to eliminate the resistance caused
by the pilots head projecting above
the cockpit. Without this fairing, a
vacuum would be formed back Of the
pilots head at full speed that would
materially affect the total speed of the
machine. These details have resulted
IN the army producing the worlds
fastest airplane.
The victory OF the Verville-Packard
on Thanksgiving Day is in the nature Of
vindicaton Immediately after the
machine was completed, it was shipped
post haste to France to compete in
the international contest for the Cor
don Bennett air race, as one of the
three American entries. 1t was de-
teated by Sadi Lecointe in a Nieuport

reach speed of 210 miles an hour

bility Is based upon careful exami-
put up by the army's latest type Of

On that occasion Captain Mosley
made an average speed of 17S miles an

Mitchell to Witness Test
The minor fault with the carburetor
has been remedied and all is now ready
for further victories. The test to-day
will be witnessed BY Brigadier General
William Mitchell and other prominent
aeronautic officials and experts.
Tho Army Air Service is particu-
larly proud Of the performance of the
VCP-R scout, chiefly because it is en-
tirely service designed and con-
constructed machine. 1t was designed
in the engineering laboratories of the

Cook Field, Dayton, Ohio, by Colonel
A. T. Verville, from whom it takes it's
name. 1t is equipped with a 600 horse
power Packard motor that is an out
growth of the famous Liberty engine.
The Vevilh Packard departs in many
ways from the conventional American
design. Its tremendous speed, due
primarily to its great engine power, is
also partly attributable to refinements
in design and construction rather than
to any radical changes. In other
words, there are no useless gadgets

The hunter who had shot at Rusty
the Fox Squirrel went over to the tree
up which Rusty had climbed and looked
carefully at the place where the shot
had struck. He found two or three
little red spots and some red hairs.
He knew at once what they meant
hit that fellow after ALL" said he
and actually looked pleased. You see,
hunters are very apt to be thoughtess.
That hunter was thinking Of himself
and not giving single thought to poor
Rusty. He was pleased to think he had
thot straight, and the idea that Rusty
might be suffering didn't enter his
head.
Then hc carefully walked around the
tree looking up for glimpse of Rusty
and ready to ahoot again Presently
ne discovered the hole in which Rusty
had sought safety. He studied it care
fully.
~ believe said he, Chat Il I climb
up there ! can get that fellow out Of
there. That was a Fox Squirrel, the
hrst one have seen about here for
years; he is worth taking little
trouble to get"
SO the hunter stood his gun against
another tree and began to climb the
tree IN which Rusty was hiding. It
was blg tree and hard to climb. The
iirst branches were high up and it took
him some time to reach them. Then
ne was glad to stop and rest d while.
What are you doing up in that
tree - demanded sharp though boy

The hunter looked down. There was
eckicd- -faced, angfy-looking boy, and
IN his hands was gun. II was Farmer
browns boy and ho was holding the
hunters own gun.

the hunter. Then, for the first time
noticing that his gun was in the hands
OF Farmer Browns boy, he shouted
angrily: "Put that gun down where
you found It! Do you hcar?"

Mullan Says He Thinks City's
Tax Burden, Due to Sal

The Joint Legislative Committee
on Education began its local hearings
on teachers salaries yesterday at City
Hall. The committee is headed by
Senator John B Mullan, and its Dur
pose Is to arrive at an accurate under
standing OF teachers pay schedules
throughout the state, 80 as to enable
the next session of the Legislature to
adopt remedies tor existing defects.
The matter Of making up the deficit of
nearly $2S,00O,000 in the Board OF Edu-
cation budget for 1921 came in for
share of attention during the afternoon
Borough President Curran Of Manhat-
tan suggested that no further iegisa-
ton was needed TO raise funds for
meeting the increased expenses of the
Department of Education, and advo-
Gated the method urged by tho Board
of Education, which advised TIE Board
of Estimate several days ago that an
emergency existed and requested it to
supply the balance of the moneys
asked.
Indecision Holds Up Action
''The Board of Education's request
is on the calendar for consideration by
the Board of Estimate next week, !"
said Mr.. Curran, land we want to be
able to assure the Board of Education
that the money will be supplied so it
can go ahead and apportlon the funds
without waiting until next year.
think the remedy lies right here at
home, and that no additional gisla-
tlon whatsoever is necessary"
Chairman Mulan said he did not
think the salary increases which were
mede mandatory upon the city admini~
stration had augmented the cty's tax
burden IS much as it had been made
to appear. Mr.. Curran agreed with
him, but said he was not familiar with
the details
II believe this sudden Increase in the
costs of running the schools should
be distributed over the next Two wears 4"
suggested Mr.. Curran.
Teachers Hold Varied Views
That all of the teachers in this cty
are not of the same mind with regard
10 the ideal salary system was shown
IN tne conhlctlnE recommends tions Of
Abraham Lefkowltz, spokesman for the
teachers Union, representing a radi.
cal minority of the teachers, and Of
Mrs. Grace Strachan Forsythe, q dis
trlct superintendent and spokesman
tor the Federation of Teachers Asso-
Citations Of New York City
Mr.. Lefkowitz advocated "cultural"
wage, under which the pay of teach
ers would be equalizcd according to
their training and experience and not
according to rank. Mrs. Forsythe said
equalization to this extent would rob
the profession of the incentive to
climb, thing that is most needed to
insure against another great teacher
shortage.
The Teachers Union spokesman left
with the committee a schedule of fur
ther increases, ranging from $4,000 to
$4,000 in the elementary gralcs and
from $4,000 to $1,000 in the high
schools. Mrs. Forsythe said the teach
ers were more interested now in having
the recent increases made permanent.
The sessions will be continued to-
day.
