Judge Sets Aside Verdict
And Upholds Hurley Will1
Surrogate Cohalan yesterday set
aside a jury verdict which held that
Timothy Hurley, who was a partner in
Jack's restaurant on Sixth Avenue, was
hot of sound mind when he executed his
will. The Surrogate ordered a new trial
o( the contest over the will, in which
the testator made provision for a nat?
ural son.
The court decided that there was a
preponderance of evidence that Mr.
Hurley was competent when he executed
his will.

Drama
Revival of "As You Like It"
By Shakespearean Playhouse
A wistful quality pervades a Shake?
spearean revival. The audience seems,
to hover on the threshhold- of illu?
sion, hopefully waiting to be drawn in
while the performer's welcome lacks
assurance, with the pathetic eonr.cious
r.ess of being out of fashion. Yester?
day's performance of "As You Like It,"
given by the Shakespearean Playhouse
in a series of matinees at the Plymouth
Theatre, established a rather waver?
ing rapport between the audience that
came in out of Broadway and tho For?
est of Arden.
The freshness which is the spirit of
"As You Like It" wells up again in this
performance. This latest production of
the Shakespearian Playhouse moves
with fluency. There is a general level
of fair acting throughout that is very
satisfying. Howard Kyle's Jacques,
Charles Webster's Oliver and Henry
Herbert's Touchstone are fino portray?
als. Espeeic.lly good was Allen Thomas
as the banished duke. Rosalind's
shrewd, audacious wit came strangely
from Elsie Mackaye's lips. She has no
lack of grace, but there was no great
amount of humor in her characteriza?
tion. Madeleine Marshall played the
part of Celia with a charming sense, of
comedy values. Leonard Willey made
Orlando seem a heavy youth.
The performance will be repented
this morning.

Total Paid for Halsey Print
Collection Is Brought Up
to $438,371.85
The sale of the famous print collec?
tion of the late Frederick R. Halsey
was concluded at the Anderson Galler?
ies last evening. The collection has
been sold in thirteen parts and has
brought a grand total of $438,371.85.
Twelve of the parts were sold during
Mr. Halsey's lifetime, realizing a total
of $388,947.85, and he expressed much
surprise that the collection which he
had so lovingly formed over so long
ii period of years should prove such
a good investment.
Prices were not so high Jast night.
George P. Smith paid $230 for an en?
graving by William Blake after T.
Phillips, and $?.45 for "Calmady Chil- j
dren," stipple by F. C. Lewis after T.
Lawrence. Dr. M?ller purchased
"Henriette Marie of Great Britain and
Her Children," line engraving by
Thomas Strange after Van Dyek, and ?
"Lord II. Nelson," mezzotint by Will?
iam Barnard after a marble bust by
Gahagen, for $72.50 each. The total
for last night's session was $2,811,
making a total for Part XIII of tin
collection of $49,424.
A collection of arms and weapon-,
Indian and Philippine baskets, blankets
and curios, formed by the late James
Franklin Bell, was sold at the Ameri

Opera
Mme. Barrientos Returns to
Metropolitan Opera House
The return of Mme. Maria Barrrien
tos to Mr. Gatti's forces at the Metro
politan Optra House was signalized
last night by the first performance
this season of "Riggoletto," the ap?
pearance of Mr. Charles (no longer
Carlo) Hackett in the character ?jf the
Duke and the presence of an audi?
ence which, helped by the atmosoheric
conditions in the theatre, was almost
literally suffocating. There were no
new revelations in the quality of the
prima donna's voice or art. She was
as little spontaneous as ever anil put
a chuck on the admiration which the
audience was obviously eager to pay
to her voice and skill by the too ob?
vious preparation made for every tone,
a peculiarity brouxht into particular
notice by the unusually deliberate
tempo of the air 'C'aronome."
Mr. Hackett in voice, style, pres
ence and action renewed the admirable
impression he mude at his d?but in
"The Barber of Seville." Thoroughly
satisfying and impressive, as always,
was the Jester of Signor di Lucca. The
sudden indisposition of Miss Perini,
cast for tho part of Maddalena, brought
into the performance the lovely voice
of Miss Braslau,
Massenet's "?-e jongleur de
Notre Dame" at Lexington
Massenet's "Le Jongleur do N'otre
Dame" was presented by the Chicago
Opera Company at the Lexington Thea?
tre last evening. The story is a charm?
ing one, the legend of a poor juggler,
v/ho danced, sang and performed the
tricks of his calling in honor of the
Holy Virgin. She smiled, accepted his
homage and glorified his death,
although the pious monks in the chapel
St first cried "Sacrilege!"
Miss Garden's Impersonation carried

death returns in the American army
during the great war exceeded the
death rate from disease, General Pey?
ton C. March announced to-day in
mal : publie stuist ?es .-pri pared by
the Geneial Staff, In past wars dis?
ease* killed many more-.nicri than lost
their lives under fire.
The battle death rate for the entire
American army in this war was 20
per thousand a year. In the expe?
ditionary forces it was 57 per thousand
:? year. The disease death rate was
17 per thousand a year in the expedi?
tionary forces and IG in the army at
home.
Amone the American (Orees, the*
table showed, the battle death rate
was only half thai o i he tri I h - -
pediti?nary forces, which was given as
lin per thousand a year.
General .March said thai the lower
death, raie from disease undoubtedly
was due largely to the inoculation re?
quirement of .the army, and, secondly,
to the efficient work of the Medical
Corps. Bui for the infiuen/.a epidemic,
he said, the disease rate would have
been cut in half.

Garland Pays Tribute
Hamlin Garland, novelist, drama- |
i tist, member of American Academy i
of Arts and Letters, says:
"James Russell Lowell in his essay !
'On ? Certain Condescension in j
Foreigners' stated his youthful re- i
sentment of a very natural feeling on !
the part of the Old World. America
had not then proved herself either in
letters or war, and England's attitude
was perfectly proper at that time. We
didn't think so then, but some of us
admit it now. We hadn't done much
, in anything except in the way of
pioneering and railroad building.
"We stand in different case to-day
and England is more than ready to
acknowledge the fact. We have made
a record not only in bnttle, but in
finance, in art. We are a grown-up
nation and not a province. We are
in the world contending for the rights
of republics. For good or ill wo are
in the broad currents of historv, and
it is a)' utmost importance that the
solidarity of the English speaking
peoples should be established. Our
literatures and our laws are akin and
it is the noble duty of the Academv
1 of Arts and Letters to foster a closer
union, a friendlier understanding
t among the writers of England, Can
; ada, Australia, New Zealand and tho
United States of America.
"There should be constant inter?
change of thought and feeling among
theso countries. The academy does
well to act as host to the distinguished
men from abroad, There is no surer
way to foster friendship. Our soldiers
have made the men of the Allied armies
their debtors and the fields of many
lands are prepared for a harvest of
enduring good will. Nothing should
: stand in the way of this garnering.
"Lowell represents a fine and sym?
pathetic understanding of England, one
i which was never apologetic or boastful.
It is especially appropriate that his
birthday should bo the date of a dinner
at which tho representatives of Eng?
lish and ("anadian authorship and
scholarship are to sit at meat with
those who represent not merely Lowell,
but Whitman and Lincoln."

Music
Afternoon and E/venlng
Concerts at Aeolian Hall
Miss rielen Jeffrey, who had been
; heard earlier in the. season, and Mr.
: Louis Gr?nberg, a newcomer, we bo
; ?Tove, gave concerts of violin and piano
, forte music respectively in Aeolian Hall
' yesterday afternoon and evening. Miss
, Jeffrey, with Mr. Francis Moore, began
lier recital with Brabams's sonata in D
minor, in which she displayed a refined
taste, much Intelligence and a lovely
quality of tone. Her companion joined
! with her in a thoroughly musicianly per?
formance of the work. In the first and
last movement of Salnt-Sa?n?'s concerto
: in H minor .the lady was somewhat j
overweighted technically,, though she j
showed sound understanding of the I
work ami played the middle movement!
d? .j.-Lt fully. Then followed the custom?
ary group of short pieces in which were
listed two respectively entitled "Mel-!
ancholy" and "Miniature," the. former
by Samuel Gardner, the latter by Mr.
, Moore.
Mr. Gr?nberg joins the numerous
- ranks of local pianists, bringing with
him a sound technical, intellectual and
emotional equipment which found finer
expression in the theme and variations
I of Beethoven's sonata op. 109 than in
l the group of original compositions en
1 titled "Impressions." which followed.

Hope Fades in
Brooklyn for
War Memorial
Two Community Bodies Plan
Independent Monuments?
to Their Returning Heroes
Central Board Dwindles
8 More Resignations Reach
Delaney; Six Are Women;
Flatbush Leads Rebellion
Latest developments arising out of
the growing antagonism toward the
Hearst-Hylan controlled Victory cele?
bration committee of Brooklyn indicate
.that it is doubtful if the contemplated
erection in that borough of a memorial
monument by a united citizenry will be
icnliezd.
The movement, it was learned, ; 4
gradually breaking up into a series of \
community \\elcome programmes, two
of which were brought to light yester- j
day. The chaotic conditions surround- i
ing tho welcome committee were still
further aggravated by additional res?
ignations yesterday and thi di'sclo
that thousands of dollars have already
; been lost to the Brooklyn project
through contributions to the memorial
in Manhattan.
The hopeless outlook for results
from the present entrai body, of which
Representative John J. Delaney is now
chairman, is ascribed as the reason for
the independent efforts of two new
groups in the borough, the Fiske Ter?
race Association, of Flatbush, and a
body of citizens of lower Flatbush and
Conoy Island.
To Erect Community Monument
Mrs. Clarence V. Waterman, a for?
mer honorary vice-president, of the
! Brooklyn Victory Celebration Commit?
tee, who ?"signed because of Hearst's
connection with it and who is now
chairman of the Fiske Terrace Memoi
Committee, said yesterday:
"It is our purpose to raise funds for
I the erection of a memorial to the resi?
dents of our section who entered the
; service. Our organization had original?
ly appointed a committee of five to con?
sider the project, but wo were not verj
: active because of the efforts being made
| for the same purpose by the central celc
! bration committee. Now that tho latter
project is so uncertain we propose im?
mediately to enlarge our local commit?
tee and push our plans for a local mon
I ument."
The Flatbush-Coney Island group is
headed by United States Attornoj Mel
ville J. France', who is still on the gen?
eral committee of he Hearst welcome
organization. Ho explained yesterday
that he has riot yet resigned from that
body because he had accepted member
ship with five others whose names had
been' sent in by the Kings Highway
Hoard of Trade.
He said that ho plans to take no ac?
tion until the board itself will consider
what steps to take a4 ifs next meeting
on the first Monday in March. The
plans advanced by ?>lr. France's organ?
isation call for a memorial at the foot
of the Ocean Parkway costing $15,000.
Eight More Resignations
The general disgust with the circum?
stances surrounding the welcome body
because of the Hearst - Hylan domina?
tion prompted eight, more resignations

great resistance of water against a propeller, no high-speed (or automobile)
engine has ever been serviceably successful in driving even a small speed
boat. No greater demonstration is therefore possible of the efficiency and
economy of the electrical drive. The new series Owen Magnetic with a
higher powered Engine coupled with the Magnetic Transmission presents
