WHITNEY FACES.

'GRANDLARCENY
!IFinancier to Hear
Sentence Monday
BY PAUL CALICO

NEW YORK, March IA G.N.S).
Richard H. Whitney, five-time
president of the New York Stock
Exchange, today pleaded guilty to
grand larceny before General Ses-
sions Justice Owen Bohan.
He followed his admission of
guilt to the looting of the estate
of his late father-in-law, George
r. Sheldon, of $105, 900 with a
dramatic confession in which be-
fore a packed courtroom that
shook with excitement he branded
himself a thief and felon.
ADMITS OTHER THEFTS
He said he had taken the prop
erty not only of Shelton, for which
he was under indictment by the
New York county grand jury, but
also that of the estates of Ella
Haggin Mckee, Mary S. Baird and
the New York Yacht Club.
Whitney's bail of $4,000 was
continued. He will appear in
court two weeks from today for
sentence.
His appearance in court today
was one Of the most breathless
and dramatic chapters in the
history Of high finance in Wall
Street.
Judge Bohan made a quick,
curt motion to the court clerk
who faced Whitney and asked
him the oldest question in juris-
prudence: .....
DO you plead guilty to grand
larceny in the first degree?"
For a second Whitney hesitated.
Who was he, Richard Whitney?
SHOWS TENSE STRAIN
His right was balled into a fist
so tight that the knuckleS showed
white. His neck and face were
deep red.
He wet his lips with his tongue.
Then he almost shouted:

The men who were preparing
to punish him began to busy them
selves with the well-worn routine

planning his actions.

P. WA. WORK SETS
ALL-T|ME RECORD
2,479 Projects Involving
Cost of $551,275,798
Are Under Way.

Faced with 4 construction program
embodying requests for more than
$4,000 projects, the Public Works
Administration has broken all pre-
vious records for putting jobs into
action, Howard A. Gray, assistant ad-
ministrator today reported to P. w. A.
Administrator Harold L. Ickes.
With work already begun on 2,479
projects involving a cost of $751;
275,798, Mr. Gray reported that P. w.
A. was driving forward to get all the
1888 projects into construction by
January /, 1899. the date set by
Congress as the deadline for the start
of non-Federal projects. He said the
number Of projects reaching the build-
ing stage In the first three months of
the program Is more than three times
that Of any number in similar period.
Benefits from the projects begun,
which include paving, schools, bridges,
sewers, hospitals and other programs,
already are being felt in the creation
of jobs and the placing of orders,
he said
A comparison of the current P. w. A.
program with those Of other years
shows that the rapid pace of the 1898
program smashed all previous marks.
With nearly $500 projects under con-
struction in lis days this year the
record reveals that last year only %
projects were started in the first four
months, while in 1886. for the same
period. only one project had been
begun.

and thought, even in the best Of pres

That which has already been en-
phatically stressed in these columns in
the past must be repeated: An opera
of our era depends just as much on
the choice and shaping of the subject
matter as it does upon the artistic
powers of the composer. A work like
Daphne, therefore, quite apart from
its merits as music, will never be able
to become matter of close interest and
concern to the masses of the) people
but will remain limited to a small class
OF the so-called educated-just as in
the case of 'Ariadne Aus Naxos.
This, however. is not in harmony with
the basic cultural requirements of
our era"
One Act Opera.
Daphne" is a one-act opera like
Strauss "Friedenstag.' which was COM
posed at approximately the same time
although produced several months ago,
and lasts one hour and 40 minutes.
The text is by Joseph Gregor, who de-
scribes the story as "a bucolic tragedy"
In the opera, Daphne. daughter of
the Fisherman Peneius and of Gaea,
is wooed by the Shepherd Leucippus,
but spurns his love because she feels
herself closer to nature than to man.

sun, however, draws Apollo to her and

STALL DETECT0R'
WARNS AIR PILOT
New Device Believed Likely
to Result in Greater
Flight Safety.
By the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
Development of device which will
warn a pilot when his plane is about
to stall was announced today by the
National Advisory Committee for
Aeronautics.
The new instrument turns on a
light, blows horn, or moves the con-
troll column when the airplane's speed
in the air drops near the point where
loss Of control occurs.
1t is this loss of control that pilots
call "stalling" When it occurs, an
airplane may fall from 100 to 1000
feet before the pilot can regain control.
A large proportion Of airplane crashes
occur because of such uncontrolled
dives
Stalling is Que to the loss Of lifting
power of the wings. This lifting power
results from the rapid flow of air over
the upper surface of the wings and
when the airplane is slowed down or
is made to climb too steeply the air
flow changes from smooth current
to SWirling one, destroying the lift

Minimum Speed Changes.
F. L. Thompson, research engineer
at the committees Langley Field (Va)
laboratory. where the new instrument
was developed. explained that the
minimum speed to insure full lifting
power of the wings changes under
different flight conditions, such as
turns, and pilot cannot rely solely
on his air speed indicator in estimating
his approach to stalling speed
This is particularly true of military
pursuit or fighter airplanes, Thomp-
son said.
Several such airplanes are easily
stalled without warning in violent
naneuvers. so that such stalling is
often inadvertent," he said 1T may
occur in dive pullouts, sharp turns,
loops, or other maneuvers.
The stall detector' consists Of a
small piece of wing mounted ahead
of the leading edge of the regular
wing with an air tube directly back
OF 1t.
Called Important Step.
When air is flowing smoothly across
this small section, while the airplane
is in normal flight, the pressure of
the air congresses spring inside the
tube. If the air becomes turbulent,
indicating a loss of lift the spring
releases slightly, closing an electrical
circuit. and the pilot is warned so
that he can take corrective measures.
Dr. George w. Lewis, research di-
rector for the committee, said the
indicator should go long way
toward eliminating accidental spins"
1t is an important step toward
greater safety in fight" he said.
