CHANGE PROPELLER
PITCH FOR TESTS
Move Is Expected to Give
Greater Speed to Nays
Newest Fighting Plane.

Further speed tests Of the new Navy
F6C-3 single-seater fighting plane prob
ably will be flown this afternoon at the
Anacostia Naval Air Station by Lieut..
]. j. Clark, executive officer. Mechanics
today were changing the pitch of the
propeller in preparation for the tests
in an effort to better yesterday after
Moons record over the 10-mile course.
Yesterday afternoons flight was made
with an experimental propeller pitch
setting which failed to give desired re-
suits. The change now being made, it
Is hoped, will considerably increase the
speed. The plane Is expected to have
q maximum speed OF $50 miles per
hour.
Later today the plane Is to be taken
to Philadelphia for several minor ad-
justments and painting before it is
flown to Cleveland next week for the
national air races. Though the ship
may not actually participate in any OF
the races at the Cleveland meet, it
will be flown to demonstrate the new
cooling process, in which q chemical
cooling huid replaces the normal water
system. Small radiators, better stream
lining and increased engine efficiency
result from the change.

MRS. J. v. BRADLEY
DIES IN NEWPORT
Passes Away in House Re.
moved From Capital at Es-
timated Cost of $4,000, 900

Mrs. julia williams Bradley. we'll
known In the Capital. where she lived
and entertained lavishly during the
Roosevelt and Taft administrations.
died yesterday morning ct Seaview Ter
race, Newport, r. l.. In house which
her husband. Edson Bradley. retired
broker, had removed from Dupont cir
Gle and rebuilt. stone for stone. at New
port, at an estimated cost Of $4,000, 900.
Mrs. Bradley was ~ years old and
had been in falling health for about
two years. Private funeral services were
being held at the Newport home this
afternoon, with burial in Woodlawn
Cemetery. Newport.
The Bradley home in the Capital was
known as the old Alexander Graham
Ben house. and stood at the jib-lot
point where Connecticut avenue and
Nineteenth street meet at Dupont
Circle Business buildings now occupy
the site.
VeritabIe Art Treasure.
The house during the Bradley
tenancy was q veritable treasure house
of rare and costly art objects gathered
from all corners of the earth. Chief
among the art prizes were the beds
made from the affairs OF old Philippine
Catholic churches. richly decorated in
solid gold and precious stones. The
spreads for these beds were rich altar
cloths taken from the same churches
when the church and state in the
Philippines were divorced following the
taking over of the islands by the United
States.
During their residence In the Capital
the Bradleys were friends of the late
Mai. Gen. J. Franklin Bell. who saw ser
vice In the Philippines and aided the
Bradleys in their collection Of the treas
ures of the Philippines.
Theater Built In Home.
Built into the Washington home Of
the Bradleys was q theater with a seat
ing capacity Of 500. where amateur
theatricals were presented and on Sun
days there were musicales with Mary
Garden and members OF the Metropoli-
tan Opera Company as guest artists.
The theater portion OF the house was
turned over to the British embassy for
use Of extra clerks during the war and
the rest of the house was closed.
It was about six year ago that Mr.
Bradley started the removal Of the house
from Washington to Newport. Under
his personal direction the project was
completed in about three years, although
the actual razing of the house here
was accomplished in q comparatively
short time.
Mr.. Bradley and . daughter, Mrs
Julie Fay Shipman, wife Of the Right
Rev. Herbert Shipman. Suffragan Bis
hop of the Protestant Episcopal Diocese
of New York, survive.
