come TO the conclusion that what is
wanted is a law that every building

That would get rid of old cottages. We

Every generation ought to be able
to produce It's own art, and ali this
worship OF the past can. only be got
rid of by y wholesale destruction of

Aero Club for Alliance
OF Air Organizations
Committee Named in Move 10
End Differences Started
in France

Colonel Jefferson De Mont Thomp-
son, president of the Aero Club Of
America, has appointed committee
of five to investigate the possibilities
Of amalgamating the Aero Club with
other aeronautical organizations in this
country with which it has had differ
ences, it was learned yesterday.
The resolution empowering Colonel
Thompson to appoint this committee
was passed a week ago at meeting
Of the board of governors. AS far as
could be learned, the members are
Professor Charles L. Poor, Alan R.
Hawley, W. Redmond Cross, Charles
Jerome Edwards and Colonel James A.
Blair jr.
The appointment of the committee is
the first step toward removing the pres
ent acute differences between the Aero
Club and the American Flying Club,
and between the Aero Club and the
Manufacturers Aircraft Association.
The difference between the Aero Club
and the American Flying Club arose
when the latter organization was
formed on the battlefields Of France.
Immediately after the New York To-
ronto air race the first great Gross
country race in history, in which more
than fifty airplanes were entered, the
Aero Club announced that every Amer
| lean pilot who took part in the race
had been disqualified by the Fedora
tion Aeronautique Internationalc, Of
which 1T is the American representa-
tive. The race was run under the aus
pices OF the American Flying Club.

LAUREL, Del, April Is. - Ollie
Morris twenty, who last night killed
his father, Derrick Morris, was caught
tonight at his mothers home, nine
miles from here. He confessed to the
killing, saying his father fought hard
for his life. The boys face is badly
market. A coroner's jury committed
Morris to Jail. There was no attempt
at violence on the part Of the posse
which captured him,
The killing, it is alleged, resulted
from the objections Of the father to
his sons infatuation for a woman said
to be thirty years old. The son, it is
said, cut his fathers throat while they
were riding in buggy to the home
of the woman. The boy then, it is
declared, drove the horse and buggy
to the tracks Of the Maryland, Della
ware & Virginia Railroad, where, it
was said. he placed the vehicle in the
way of a southbound train. AS the
train approached the boy leaped from
the vehicle and disappeared in the
swamp. The engineer stopped the
train before it struck the team.
The engineer sent out the message
of the tragedy. A short time later
the armed posse was organized. The
mother of the boy has had two sons
killed, one daughter burned to death
and another blinded.

John Doukas Will Give
Candy to Poor Children
| 500 Boxes To Be Distributed
To-day to Orphans and
Cripples

John Doukas, a confectioner of SO
Avenue B, will give 1900 boxes Of
candy to-day to the city's' orphans and
III and crippled children. Among the
benefcaries of his generosity will be
inmates of Gouverneur Hospital, Israel
Orphan Asylum, Hebrew Day Nursery
and Kinderga Nursery of Daugh-
ters Of Israel" Crippled Ghildren's
School and Beth Israel Hospital.
Doukas reached the United States in
1893 with $1.50 in his pocket. He in
vested his capital in bananas, which he
peddled, and his heart was so touched
by the spectacle of poverty beheld on
the East Side he vowed to do his bit
to relieve it if he ever became pros
porous. To-day's gift is a partial full
fllment of that vow.
The confectioner has also founded
the Society of the Prophet Elias in his
home county of Zaracos, Greece, which
maintains school and orphans home
there. Last week he sent the society
$500 francs, the interest each year to
pay the college tuition of the poores st
girl in each of the six towns that make
up the county. He will send to Zaracos
to-day 1000 boxes of candy, 800 pairs
OF shoes, 400 boys suits and the same
number of dresses for girls.

Wood Files in Maryland;

BALTIMORE, April 15.--An end was

Annapolis. The papers we're filed by
Lieutenant Colonel John Philip Hill

sentative Elston, of California; a frienc
of Senator Johnson, who asked that
DR.. Robins be requested to call him
up on the telephone before filing the

| without filing the papers. He asked
what the limit was for filing and was
told midnight Saturday.

Leather Men Make 1OO%0
Profit, Senate Is Told
Federal Commission Expert Says Shoe Prices Are
1nexcusable and Advocates the Abolition of
Trade Associations to Cut Cost to Public

to leather and steel. The packers DOM
mate not only domestic but imported
hides, except kid.
Wants Shoes Stamped
cover half the country shoes are
sold direct from the manufacturer to
the retailer In my opinion part of
stamping on every pair Of shoes the
price the retailer paid for them. Peo-
pie would refuse to pay the prices that
are demanded of them if they realized
what the profits were.
Retailers frequently suffer losses
on extreme styles in women's shoes, be-
cause they change so rapidly and the
left-overs must be sold at loss. The
uncertainties Of this part of the busi-
ness have to be compensated by charg-
ing higher prices for the fancy shoes
and also by increasing the profits on
ordinary Shoes"
"Here is letter, one among perhaps
1000 I have received" said Senator
lisker writes me that in December he
paid $26.40 for pair of shoes and in
February they were so worn that he
went to have them repaired. They
charged him $3.50 to repair them and
added so cents to that for some other
detail. Do you think that was profteer-
ing?"
II certainly think it was" replied
Mr.. Robertson.
II understand" said Senator Ken yon
Republican Of Iowa, chat the War In
dustries Board had plan to fix max
imum selling price of $12 on shoes
and if the war had continued little
longer it would have been put in effect
Do you know anything about it?"
81 understand such a schedule was
prepared and would have been put in
effect shortly" replied Mr.. Robertson
"Do you know anything about the
stories that shoes, including American
shoes, were sold cheaper in England
during the war than here?" asked Sen
ator Kenyon.
II have seen lists of shoes and prices
in England indicating that they were
much cheaper there than here" replied
MIR. Robertson.
Speaking of women's Shoes" sug
gested Senator Kenyon, "do the manu-
facturers turn out the extreme
styles in women's shoes because the
women demand them, or do the womer
buy them because the manufacturers
turn them out and the retailers show
them?"
81 have heard endless discussion as
to who originates Styles" was the
reply, "and my conclusion is that the
manufacturers chiefly make and fis
the styles"

Socialist Society Loses
Appeal From $4,000 Fine
U. S. Court Holds Nearing's
Book Was Published to
Obstruct Recruiting

Judge Henry G. Ward, in the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals, af-
firmed yesterday the judgment of the
District Court under which fine of
$4,000 was imposed on the American
Socialist Society, which was convicted
of violating the espionage law by pub
fishing and circulating a pamphlet en-
titled "The Great Madness" by Pro-
fessor Scott Nearing.
The appeal was made because Near
ing, who was jointly indicted with the
society, was later acquitted, and it was
urged that, therefore, the judgment
against the society should be reversed
and the fine Cancelled.
Judge Ward, in his opinion, which
was concurred in by Judges Charles NJ
Hough and Martin T. Manton, disposed
of this contention yesterday by saying
that Nearing's views might not have
been written with the harmful intent
of obstructing the recruiting of the
United States army but that the So
ciety did print and distribute them
with that intent He also set aside the
contention that the espionage act did
not apply to corporations.

Federal Jury
lndicts Healy
And Cialotti
Continued from page one)

against Henry is similar~to the first,
except that many technical corrections
have been made. While the original
indictment contained the addresses of
approximately seventy eight alleged
disordcrly houses in the 4th Inspection
District which were being run, it is
charged with Hcnry's knowledge and
consent, that returned yesterday in
creases the number to ninety-two.
When the grand jury went before
Judge Malone late yesterday afternoon
ment was to be presented against a
police official holding high Office. The
anticipated indictment was expected to
be based on charge Of having con-
spired to obstruct justice.
Man and Wife Testify
After delivering its superseding in
grand jury adjourned to meet again
next week. At the District Attorneys s
office, it was said unoficially that ad-
ditional testimony, which may lead to
the indictment of the hign police of
fetal, will be taken when the jury
reconvenes.
The principal witness before the
regular grand jury yesterday was
Ferdinand Dellcne and his wife, who,
for about a year. conducted the Van
Cortlandt Hotel, in West Forty-n&nth h
Street. Dellene is said to nave told
the jury that in September, 1918, he
wanted to get control of the Van
Cortlandt and the best figure he could
get was $4,000.
He then went to Inspector Henry for
advice, it is said, and the latter told
him if he would wait short time he
could probably get the place at a
greatly reduced figure. Shortly after
this, according to versions Of Del
lene's testimony, the Van Cortlandt had
trouble with the police and the pro-
prietors sold out to Dellene for
$4,000.
j. c. Winsmore. Of the brokerage
firm Of Billings, Olcott e. Winsmore
with whom Inspector Henry is alleged
to have invested thousands of dollars
in stocks, was witness before the
grand jury, but nothing definite could
be learned as to the nature of his testi-
mony. He is said to have given figures
for the last seven years, winch indcat-
cd the inspector had been a heavy loser
in Wall Street.
DR.. Straton Threatened
The liquor law violations on which
Thomas Healy was indicted by the Fed
eral grand jury are alleged to have oc-
CURED late in March, about the time
that DR.. Straton was making his in
vestigations of conditions in the white
light" district.
DR.. Straton declared he had received
number Of anonymous letters threat
enng him with death. One letter, ac-
cording to the clergyman. said: "Be-
ware, DR.. Straton. Stop the vice cru
sading and monkeying with the Vol
stead law. We are going to get YOU,
so beware"
DR.. Straton said: "I wish to tell all
these gentlemen that l am not afraid
of them. My life has been threaten ed
here as it has been in other cities
where | have fought the devil"
