Notwithstanding the strongest efforts of the Hylan administration to keep the budget for 1920 down to somewhere near the total of the preceding year, it was admitted today by city officials that the $300,000,000 mark will be reached, if not passed.

A member of the Board of Estimate said: "It looks like a $300,000,000 budget. I don't see how any of the departmental estimates can be cut down.

They say their mandate from the Irish people is for the establishment of an Irish republic, and nothing else. "If Ireland had self-determination and declared for an independent monarchy, with George or anyone else as king," some say, "we would accept its decision, but there is no such prospect." JAMES N.

Lydia R. Babbott, a daughter of the late Charles Pratt, who died on June 26, 1904, was filed yesterday in the Surrogate's Court. Railroad stocks and other securities, including 336 shares of Standard Oil stock appraised at $230,946, compose the estate, the net value of which is $2,307,841. Among the bequests were: 576.960 each to Mrs. Mary Babbott Ladd, A daughter, living at 304 West 107th Manhattan; Frank L.

Babbott, a son, of 102 Pierrepont and Helen Lamb and Lydia P. Babbott, daughters. Mrs. Babbott left $1,000 to an old servant, Annette Tillman, and $100 to each of her other servants. All her personal belongings at her house at 149 Lincoln pl.

Mrs. Babbott bequeathed to her husband, Frank L. Babbott. Provision was made in the will of Charles M. Pratt for the accumulation of income on the shares of his estate, left for the benefit of his children, including Lydia R.

Babbott. Such accumulations were to continue during the lives of Morris Pratt, a nephew, and Mary Richardson Babbott, daughter of Lydia R. Babbott. And provisions were also made for the dis. position of such accumulations in trust.

According to the will of Mrs. Lydia R. Babbott, doubt is expressed as 10 whether or not the provisions of the will of Charles M. Pratt with respect to such accumulations are valid. Mrs.

Babbott, in her will, did not wish to antagonize the will of her father, and expressed her desire that it be carried out to the letter, 'so long as the provision concerning the accumulations in trust might validly apply to all the children alike. She provided that in case the distribution should be otherwise than as provided in the will of her father, Charles Pratt, her entire income should go to her husband. Frank L. Babbott. Upon his death, half of the income was to be divided equally among the children.

One-sixth was to go to Pratt Institute, one-sixth to Vassar College, and the remaining sixth, to Amherst University in Massachusetts. In case the trustees of these institutions were not legally able to take this donation, it was to be willed to the treasurers personally, and they were to use it for the benefit of their respective institutions. Mrs. Babbott's will was made in May, 1900, and among the witnesses was Edward M. Shepard.

The foreman, Raymond F. Almirall, the architect, formerly of Brooklyn, 's spending the week end in the try as the jury did not sit today. District Attorney Swann's 183460 statement today follows: am satisfied from my own investigation and from what occurred at the sessions of this Grand Jury that the investigation of the transit situation was not favored by them. Because of the attitude of a number of the members of the Grand Jury it has been an uphill fight. Every time or my assistant, Mr.

Talley, one of the best lawyers I have ever met in my years in the court, started a new line, we were surprised by the apparent knowledge of what we were driving at, shown by two or members of the Grand Jury in their questions. They seem to know more about the inside conditions of the Interborough Rapid Transit affairs than officials of the company.

DAYLIGHT SAVING FAVORED At a meeting of the general welfare committee of the Board of Aldermen yesterday, the committee decided to report in favor of the resolution introduced by President Robert L. Moran, two weeks ago, amending the code of ordinances so as to provide daylight saving in the city.

The steamship Powhatan, submerged a for six months following her sinking about two years ago as the result of a collision in Chesapeake Bay, arrived in New York Harbor today. She was towed here from folk, by tugs of the Morse Dry Dock Repair Company. Considered a total loss by her underwriters, the Powhatan will now be rebuilt by the Morse Company for her present owners: PRINTERS' STRIKE MAY END VERY SOON Employers Now Waiting to Receive Bona Fide Offer to Arbitrate From Compositors. The beginning of the end of the strike and lockout in the job and printing trades in New York City may come tomorrow afternoon, when members of "Big Six" Typographical Union meet behind closed doors at the Star Casino, 107th st. and Lexington Manhattan.

This developed as a result of a conference between the Scale Committee of the union, headed by President Leon H. Rouse, and William Green, chairman of 1 the Labor Committee of the Printers' League, at the Pennsylvania Hotel last night. Representatives of both the employers and the union stated today that the return to work of the compositors' within the next few days would hinge on the action taken at the meeting tomorrow afternoon. F. A.

Silcox of the Printers' League, said that arbitration proposals had been made by the employers three times, but. had SO far been turned down by "'Big Six." If the compositors would now present a -proposal of their own which embodied bona fide arbitration of all the issues involved, it would be acceptable to the employ- ers. No Question of Hours Involved. Hotel this morning. Hint of Now Typesetting Device.

The Dry Goods Economist, which S. Oppenheimer, Chairman, of Publicity of "Big Six," said today that the terms of the proposal, whatever they might be, would not include the quesoffices in the city are, already working of hours. 1 "Between 40 and 50 on a 44-hour basis," he said. "We already have the 44-hour week and we aren't going to arbitrate what we have." This attitude makes it unlikely that any agreement, will be reached. At the headquarters of Franklin Union No.

23, one of the so-called "outlawed" locals of pressmen and feeders, it was stated that the resolution passed last night by the Central Federated Union, representing the Union Labor of New York City, now placed the responsibility of continuing the lockout, so far as the pressmen and feeders were concerned, squarely up to George L. Berry, president of the International Pressmen's and Pressmen's Assistants' Union. If he is sincere in his desire to end the controversy. with the best terms obtainble for the men, it was said, he will have to take cognizance of the resolutions. The resolutions in question were passed at a meeting of the Central Federated Union at the Labor Temple, 84th st.

and Third Manhattan, last night, and stated in part that the pressmen's unions out on strike had consented "to have President Rouse of Typographical Union No. 6 use his good offices and have evinced a willingness to meet their international officers in order to reconcile their differences and return to the parent body," but that Rouse met with a refusal from Berry, who would have "no intercourse whatever" with the officers of the striking -unions. Maj. Berry could not be reached at his room in the Knickerbocker has never missed an issue in the last 73 years of its publication, came out yesterday on schedule in spite of the printers' strike. but in mimeograph form.

John Adams Thayer. executive secretary of the Periodical Publishers' Association, 200 Fifth said that a new typesetting device was being veloped which would eliminate the necessity of compositors. He would not state what the nature of the device was. The Chat Publishing Company, 16 Weirfield it was learned today, had not surrendered to the demands of the union. as has been previously tated.

The book and job department still closed down, it was said, and there has been only A temporary agreement with the compositors for a 44-hour week. in order not to endanger the publication of the weekly newspaper. The Item, a South Brooklyn weeky publication, of 513 Fifth yesterday ran a long statement to readers, explaining that many of its advertisements did not appear because of the strike and the walkout of its compositors: MANY ANXIOUS TO SUCCEED RICHARDS Alderman Haubert, W. W. Wilson and Hirshfield Mentioned.

May Name Woman. The names of Assistant Corporation Counsel William W. Wilson, State Senator Charles E. Russell, Alderman Charles J. Haubert, Frank J.

John. son and Commissioner of Accounts David Hirshfield. were among those mentioned today as possible succestors to Municipal Court Justice Edward A. Richards in the Seventh Municipal Court District. Justice Richards' impending resignation was announced yesterday and was the signal for immediately setting into motion the ambitious efforts of those anxious to serve the people on the Municipal Bench in the East New York District.

Although the appointment to All the vacancy' rests with the Mayor it is thought likely that he would not act without consulting the wishes of the Brooklyn Democratic organization. Should the Mayor decide to make a personal choice the chances of selection are said to strongly favor Accounts Commissioner David Hirshfield. As Justice Richards' resignation to accept the presidency of the East New York Savings Bank does not take effect until November 5, the day after election, there will be no necessity for haste in acting upon the matter and plenty of opportunity for the various aspirants to present their claims. One of the possibilities under discussion is the appointment of a woman. The Democratic organization has been anxious to name a woman lawyer to the bench when a favorable opportunity presented itself.

One of the names mentioned was that of Miss Jeannette C. Brill of the 18th Assembly District. William W. Wilson, who was appointed an Assistant Corporation Counsel by Mayor Hylan, is regarded AS a likely possibility. He was the Democratic candidate several years ago in the district against Charles B.

Friday, October 10-German! military authorities had full and complete information of the French plan for an offensive in April, 1917, former Premier Painleve told the Chamber of Deputies this afternoon in repudiating a charge that the ocensive was stopped by his order. He added, that Gen. Nivellu had decided to stop the ocensive after three days of fighting, when it became evidently impossible that a break through the German lines could be made.

The German General Staff obtained, in some way, a copy of the plan of offensive and took necessary measures for causing the campaign to fail. BIG BOMBER GOING TO MINEOLA TODAY Handley Paige May Fly Over City Before Landing at Mitchel Field. Official at Mitchel Field, Mineola, prepared this afternoon the giant Handley- biplane Atlantic, which was expected to land at the field at about 4 o'clock this afternoon. It was reported from Greenport, L. where the plane was forced to descend after a 600-mile non-stop flight from Parrsboro, Nova Scotia, that the Atlantic would start from that town at about 1:30 o'clock this afternoon and would by directly toward New York.

Then it was expected that Vice Admiral Marc Kerr and Maj. Brackley would direct the plane in a great circle over Manhattan. The eight members of the crew of the Atlantic would then be able to get their long-awaited-for "eye-full" of the skyline of Manhattan. As soon as the trip over the city is completed the plane is expected to fly back to Mineola, where it will land at Mitchel Field. Great throngs visited Greenport yesterday to view the giant plane.

The great wings, with a stretch of 125 feet, and the high-powered RollsRoyce motors. were examined by visitors who came miles to see them. The story of the flight was told again and again. "We were lucky," said one of the mechanics guarding the huge plane, "yet," he continued, "the luck was made possible by the cool judgment of Maj. Herbert Brackley, who landed the 16-ton bomber nicely in the middle of a wheat field several hundred yards from the Sound bluff.

It all happened in the dark. It was hazy and there was a slow drizzle that impaired the pilots' vision." According to the crew, it was first decided owing to the uncertainty of the landscape to make a landing in L. I. Sound, for as the plane circled over the village they were unable to determine the nature of the earth below. On account of the small quantity of petrol that was left, landing in the water seemed necessary.

The plane was then flying to the south and coming close to the ground the pilot observed the steep bluff, rock covered and dangerous. The plane then took a sharp elevation upwards and then came to, rest in the field. No better spot could have been selected had the pilot been able to select one in broad daylight. The field in which the bomber landed is the property of Earle C. Burt and is situated about a mile from Greenport village the North road.

The from road is only stew hundred yards the plane. LOUIS CASSAGNE DIES AT 94 Louis Cassagne, 94 years old of 10,906 95th ave. (old Chichester Richmond ilH1, L. a retired merchant tailor and world traveler, died on Friday of old age after a few days' illness. Until his final sickness set in Mr.

Murphy, a Manhattan youtn charged with the theft of an automobile from a local dealer, he will in all probability be sentenced to life imprisonment AS a fourth offender. While imprisoned in the Raymond st. jail Murphy instituted system whereby he attempted to swindle mothers mourning lost sons by applying for money to effect their reI lease from the authorities.

District Attorney Harry E. Lewis's attention at the time was brought to the exploits of Murphy and he subsequently intercepted the letters. during Murphy, it is alleged, negotiated the early part of July with Angelo Barbato, a pl. dealer, for The an automobile valued at $700. machine was purchased and A check for that amount was in turn given the dealer.

While out riding on the same evening of the sale in upper Manhattan, Murphy, it is charged, drugged the chauffeur, who was also an employee of Barbato. and made off with the machine. It was later learned that the check was valueless and his arrest followed. Investigation by the police led to the discovery that Murphy had been convicted on three prior occasions in New York and Bridgeport, Conn. Allies Have No Troops To Send to Aid of Letts London, Friday, October 10-Allied Powers have the hardest problem they have encountered since the armistice thrust upon them by the Germansian attack on Riga.

It is believed the Lettish Government expect the Peace Conference to furnish troops to resist Gen. von der Goltz and his Russian supporters, but who will furnish the new armies is a very serious question. There is certainly no enthusiasm in Great Britain for embarking on more military expeditions and shedding more British blood. All of Great Britain's new volunteering army has been absorbed in the making up of forces of occupation in the Near East. Drafted soldiers are still in the service and their relatives are agitating for their return from India.
