Dick, who was Mrs. Madeleine Force Astor, widow of Col. John Jacob Astor, filed yesterday in the Surrogate’s court her first general accounting of all proceedings affecting the property of her baby boy, John Jacob Astor, who was born August August 14, 1912, af- ter his father had lost his life in the sinking of the Titanic iir the preceding April. The accounting, which runs from November 13, 1912, when the mother was appointed general guardian, until December 31, 1915, shows. that $86,- 034.21 was spent by her during that period to maintain the child, as against $60,360.07 she received. Ac- cording to these figures the average cost a day for the little boy’s support during the three years was $75.27. This was slightly below the daily ex- pense for the year 1915, as set forth in the mother’s second annual ac- counting. According to that compila- tion, filed on April 28, 1916, the cost for the preceding year was $75.60 a day. Taken from Trust Fund. The money for the child’s upbring- ing came from the $3,000,000 trust fund which Colonel "Astor directed in his will should be set aside for the care,of any children he might have tollowirlg his marriage with Miss Mad- eieine Force. Until he remarriage to Mr, Dick little John Jacob Astor lived with his mother at 840 Fifth avenue, and she charges to him one-third the expense of conducting the residence. until the last date in her accounting Mrs. Dick includes in this charge an item of $38,773, as one-third of the taxes on her home. For the mainte- nance of the establishment Mrs. Dick places his one-third at $32,666.67, The The income from the trust fund is set at $140,000. Throughout the whole of his four years the bills for physicians for the boy have amounted td $6,523. Fees to attorneys and . disbursements to Henry A. Gildersleeve, who filed the accounting, totalled $4,007. Toys Cost $5,790. Not the least interesting side of the accounting—and a feature which has never been included before—is the amaunt spent for toys. Altogether the devices bought to keep him amused cost $5,790. The vouchers reveal that as he grew up his toys also grew in size and importance. For Christmas, 1913, when he was a little over one year old, his mother bought for him a speaking book, fifteen dises' for a music box, three ‘“roly pol and two boxes of horns and balls. In June, 1914, $30 was expended for a go-cart, and as he and his mother were about to go to the seaside the little bey was equipped with the fol- lowing outfit: A pail, a sprinkler, a sand scoop, a sand sieve, a book on animal land, a Mother Goose, a toy donkey and a toy railway. On his next Christmas he was able to set up an claborate menagerie with the fallowing toy animals: A camel, $30; a lion, $15; a goo; $3.5 75; s r ; three bears on wheels, $12; five| soap bubble blower, $1; a magic fish pond that month also he appears to have had a party, for there is an item of a gift hoops, $10; a see-saw, $3; a and athletic slides, $20.

Alexandel S. Pacon, lawyer and officer in the United States army and National Guard, vesterday defended the course of his client, First Lieut. Frank A. Spencer, Second New York Field Ar- tillery, on trial before a court-martial at Fort Totten, L. for “spread- eagling” five men of his (Spencer’s) ‘command. The guardsmen were tied to gun carriage wheels for insubor- dination. “On your verdict in this case,” de- clared Col. Bacon in summing up be- fore the court, which = consisted of four officers of the militia, “depends whether there shall continue to be i discipline in the National Guard.” Lieut Spencer’s counsel argued that any treatment that may have been accYrded the five privates was not in fact punishment; that it was merely discipline. “We admit that no man can pun- jsh another man except by a decree of the court. There is- no army, however, without discipline.” Col. Bacon pleaded that Lieut. Spencer is a lawyer, a Harvard grad- uate and that conviction would mean bis retirement to private life as a cruel and inhuman man. Judge Advocate Hope said that the testimony showed that the tieing of the prisoners to the gun carriage wheels was punishment which no of- ficer had power to inflict. “There is no evidence of an at- tempted escape on the part of these men,” declared the judge advocate. “The fact that Lieut. Spencer did not know. he was doing wropg when he inflicted this punishment is no ' ex- cuse for him."” ; Capt. Robert N. Camipbell testified that he told Lieut. Spencer, on hear- ing of the incident, that “public opinion will not stand for this sort of thing.” Capt. Campbell said that sort of punishment was a relic af barvarous ages. A number of witnesses, including Col. George A. Wingate, testified to lthe good reputation and efficiency of Lieut. Spence The case will be re- sumed on Thursday when the trial of Capt. Wilbur Wright, who is sim- ilarly accused, will begin.

TWICE PER WEEK IS OTTO’S AVERAGE And When Otto Imbibes He Amuses Himself by Beating Wife, She Tells Court. If Otto Kindt of 219 Curtis street again resorts to methods of the cave men with his wife as a victim, it will mean thirty days in jail to think it over, provided the authorities be- come aware of his conduct. This was the warning given him by Judge John H. Kirkham in police court today when Otto was arraigned for assault upon his wife. In addition to the Jjail sentence, operation of which was suspendedspending good behavior, a fine of $5 and costs with probafion was imposed. Otto admitted that he was accu tomed to chastise his wife whenever he gets drunk and admitted further that he gets drunk on an average of twice a week, Tuesdays and Saturdays. He i employed in the milling room of the Stanley Works. Relative-to his conduct yesterday, he testified that he was under the influence and probably handled Mrs. Kindt violently, if wit- nesses said so, but that he could not say as he did not remember a thing about it. His wife, however, was not so for- getful. and blue marks, hit her and threw her to the floor. She alsa testified that she was partially disrobed by the violent handling. This was not the only time, she testified, that he has behaved in this manner but only one of many times. Otto works nights, she explains, and frequently gets under the influence of liquor and. creates a ‘rough house” during the day. Next door neighbors testifled as to the racket and said that when an investigation was’being madeé, Mrs. Kindt was found with her waist par- tially torn off, blood stained and showing signs of violent usage.

The drama was the subject of an interesting address before the Wom- an’s club yesterday afternoon at the Tirst Baptist church by Professor Ar- thur H. Palmer of Yale. Professor Palmer spoke of the drama of Isven, Bjornson and Stringbers, explaining that while the Norwegian, Tsben, spe- cialized in the drama his feliow coun- tryman, Bjornson, exerted an influ- ence on literature and politics as well as contributing to the drama. In his works Isben attempts to icach the doe- trines of sincerit; faithfulness, truthfulness ' and * purity. Bjorrson was the prophet of Norway, Profes- sor Palmer said, and a leader of ihe people, favoring woman’s rights and in his plays teaching the upbuild- ing of the country. & Stringberg, Professor Palmer de- clared, was an unstable man, being an opponent to women and Dbelieving them inferjor beings. In all his work is an underlying strain of melancholia. He was directly in contrast to Ishen and Bjornson, TO SALVAGE AIRPLANE, Sailors Will Try to Bring Back Ma- chine.

RAISE Regulars Will Send Petition to | Safety Board | At the hext meeting of the safety bhoard a communication will be re- ceived from the regular policemen sking for a ten per cent. increase in pay. This was, decided upon at a meeting of the policemen yesterday at headquarters with Capt. T. W. Grace, then acting chief of the de- | partment, presiding. The meeting | was attended by Detective Sergeant Samuel Bamforth and Sergeant W. C. Hart. There was a large attendance. The men have already petitioned for a change in the grading so that they will receive the maximum' pay ot $3.30.,per day at the end of three | years, instead of at the end of the | fifth yvear. Now they work for $2.75 per day for the first two years, re- ceive $3.02 a yvear for the next two years and-receive the $3.30 at the end ing their service. Interpretation of the desired change | is that it would apply only to the street men and would not affect the salaries of officers, such as chief, cap- tain and sergeant. It is expected, that they will ask for the same ratio of increase as the patrolmens Traffic Supervisor Clarence Lanpher& De- tective A. J. Richardson and. Police- man H..C. Lyon were appointed a committee to attend the next meeting of ‘the safety board, provided it is considered advisable fc be represent- ed.

The men yesterday expressed ap- proval of the plan to pay a 'certain percentage of their wages Into a fund, if regulations arc¢c made provid- ing that a man can apply for retire- ment at the end of a certain period of time. The pension fund plan has been discussed by the charter re- vision committee and safety board.

GAVE EVIDENCE THAT PROVED "~ IT TRUE Mr. Harold Marth of 455 Stanley St., Jells New Britain Residents Start- ling Facts That Will Interest Many People. Well said Mr. Martin the Lax-a- Economy New England Drug Co., 365 Main St, I am pleased to say that the New Year 1917 is surely going to hold great favors for many people I know in New Britain. [ have in mind many many peoplé that were great suffer- ers in 1916 that are now so well on their way to complete recovery that théyeannot contain themselves much longer and are anxious to tell their friends the good news and also tell the story of how they returned to health and happiness after many ‘months or o vears of sickness, I am going to tell you said’ Mr. Martin in these peoples own words of how they struggled, of how they despaired, and how they hoped against hope, of how sickness depleted their earnings and also how after all these troubles and sorrows’ they found that road to health through Lax-a-Tone the remedy that has set the whole U, S. afire with en- thusiasm. Among the many people that have .found.that road to health in New Britain. I take pleasure in quoting Mr. Marth who is a well known young man, he says: It is nothing ‘more than right that I should come to the front and tell of the -wonders that Lax-a-Tone has done for me as I am sure ‘that my statement may convince my friends and acquaintances that this remedy must have the merit or it would not have accomplished what it did fo:” me, "for a long ‘time I have suffered with headaches and severe back- aches, felt' sore and lame all over, I seemed to have a cold that I could not ‘Break up, I was getting very much discouraged because I could get no relief and as you are aware that this dragging kind of sickness makes you feel bad all over. Well to make* a long story short I began to use Lax-a-Tone and now I can say that I am entirely well, I am just feeling fine and am only to glad to tell about it. Now dear reader do not discourage yourself needlessly if you are a suf- ferer from constipation, indigestion, dyspepsia, sour acid stomach, with gas and bloat, feel. tired out, nervous and ' run down, have thin blood and get; chilly and clammy, catch cold easilyy and feel that you can not stand itd any longer just go down to the Econ: omy- New England Drug Store, 36 Main.St., and see the Lax-a-Tone' man; - ‘He will sell you a bottle ofl thig wonderful remedy, tell you how# to take it and just what it will dq¥ and will also be frank enough to tell you what it won’t do.
