NEW YORK. Feb. most human thing I read in the papers today, or this month: The Reform School in New Jersey gavt a homecoming and alumni meeting, where over two hundred men who had been there aa boyt, lota of them now prominent, camt back and told what they wert doing. Some brought their wives and families with 'em.

One told that he aerved five yeart there for larceny, and waa now a big contractor in-talling burglar alarma in banki, and waa bonded for $150,000. It didn't giva their namet, but it ought to, for I believe it would endear everyone of their atanding in their home communities. It would at leait be a change from that old success formula, "I started at a newsboy."

Tbe tract, which he insists ia the only one suitable for a real airport in the metropolitan area will require a fill of about 5,000,000 cubic yards, as a considerable portion of it ia now Duller from one to three feet ol water. Roughly 7000 by 35fK) feet, the proposed landing field embraces acres, and can be reached, according to Mr.

Dodge's estimation, in from twelve to fifteen minutes from City Hnll in Philadelphia, from ten to twelve minutes from the Philadelphia Pnstnffiee, and in about five minutes from the henrt of Camden. In a pretentious pamphlet which he has prepared, setting forth the ad vantages nf the site, ihe architect attacks the suitability of both the Spring- lieui township and the South Philadelphia sites, op the grounds of preparation and maintenance cost, fog conditions and insccestihilitv. Could Bt Filled by Army Dredges The cost of filling the Jersey land would be about 20 cents a yard, and all of the fill could be secured from the bottom of the Delaware River at that point, where Army engineera shortly will dredge to widen tbe channel under the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1010. The fill can he accomplished by hydraulic line direct from th dredging barges, and could he completed In two years' time. About acres nf the field would be avnilable almost immediately, the report declares Of the Springfield site.

Mr. Dodgn says in his report, it is "not near enough to he practical as the principal air terminal. It does not .11 nthe- in fli-tn. i. tract industry, as no railrosd is near ihe site, and automobile transporta tion must nass through what is nroti- ahly our most serious traffic conges tion.

It provides no accommodation for airplanes." Of the Smilh Philadelphia site, he sa.va that the proposed seaplane landing basin on the Delaware is one mile distant hv air line from the field proper. The fill nf the field will be of soft mud and silt from the Delaware at that point, which will become soggy nnd unsafe in wet weather. The fog hazard is greater than that al the Pet ty Island site. There, the "black tinsin" between Petty Island and Ihe Jersey shore provides an excellent anchorage for seaplanes, while ocean-going ships ran anchor at the airport bulkhead in thirty-three feet of water tieapianes would have a take-off yixaled I clearing off of aidewnlka of I'lobulelphia heiween the Vana and the all olmtructiniia and an Improve-1 Vnnt fontmued.

Feb. the influence of the railroad brotherhoods, labor unions of tha Nation have been brought to the support of a proposal that the aubwaya and elevated lines of Greater New Xork be operated by Mitten Management, of Philadelphia, it waa disclosed here today in a petition tiled by the Mitten Corporation with the United States Board of Tag Appeals. Mitten Management now operatea all transportation in Philadelphia subways, surface cart, elevated lines and but lines. The transportation problem In New York City forma a part of the argument in which the Mitten Management aska the Board of Tag Appeals t.i allow deductiona of approximately MZi.WM in its income for lULtl, against which a tag of $43,000 waa assessed by the Bureau of Internal Revenue, The petition makes no suggestion aa to the manner in which operation nf the New York subways might be undertaken and it neglects to make any reference to negotiations aince IliL'fl with the city of New York. Fixplanntion of the Mitten attitude toward the subways in New York extenda back three years, when the programme waa first suggested.

How ever, the petition eels forth, it was found that tha plan could not be carried out without the fullest co-operation of labor organisations. Mitten aa a result looked about for a way to convince labor of its friendship. Cites Saving of Philadelphia Bank The opportunity was found in sav ing the funds of the depositors snd shareholders nt a net unit labor bank in Philadelphia and later consolidation with the Philadelphia Brotherhood Bank. These operations cost snd the petition implies that the friendship thut gained must be reckoned aa an asset in any future negotiations for tha New York trana portation system.

Sought Transit Control Elsewhere "Pursuant to the purposes of its organization." the petition gnea on, "the petitioner was in seeking to extend its operations into other cities anil the plans are being worked out by the petitioner, involving the eitension of its operations to include the operation of transportation facilities of about ten or twelve important cities of Ihe Fast, including the oper-Hl ion of all subway and elevated lines in Greater New York City. Negotiations had proved that the petitioner's plans could not be consummated without the complete assent and co-operation nf labor.

The petitioner, therefore, sought means of convincing labor snd labor organisations nf the advantages accurinr through the operation of such utilities under the Mitten idan and through the co-operation of iahor and labor organisations in such operation. The means adopted to this eud wss tn impress labor and labor organizations that their financial interests were conserved and protected under the 'Mitten An opportunity to convince labor of Ihe soundness of this argument waa presented, the petition sets forth, in when Ihe Producers and Consumer Bank, of Philadelphia, a labor bank, failed.

fiothenhure forenoon F'tr HT NfPin Rirpr Hambtko Ramhnr 0 A nr as Plar Prima Donna's Unhackneyed Work Marks Performance That Lacks Distinction Jagel, Claussen, Danise Pinza, in Metropolitan Company Cast at Academy By LINTON MARTIN Maria Mueller, on a winter's day, garnered the lyric laurels, hey. hey. when that frisky young novelty, "Aida." was presented by the Metropolitan Opera Company in tht Academy of Music last night. The Czechoslovak soprano made the most alluring and energetic Aids seen and heard Hereabouts in many a month. Her vocally vital and dynamically dramatic dusky damsel proved that Aida was an Ethio pian princess of "pep." and not the stodgy, overstuffed soprano that often must be taken with a whole shaker of salt In accounting for Rn-iIhiiics' oneratie infatuation in Y'erth'e perennially popular piece.

Miss Mueller evidently believes that even the most hackneyed of rnleB may "resludied." She never once settled into Ihe rut of routine and her makeup and manners were more pictorially per suasive than when she look the title role of "Madame Butterfly" a week ngo. Thia Aida was a most modem maiden in "vamping" and spurring on ihe reluctant Radames. and if so exu beraut an arlist as Miss Mueller sang "The Love of Three Kings." she'd probably wind up hy kidnapping and carrying oir old Archihaldo: Despite this enerivtic individual ner performance, not much distinction was disclosed during ihe evening. The Rn dame nf Frederick Jagel was a rather collegiate conqueror, although he has improved somewhat in stage presence since last season. But be remains 1 nice, neat tenor, with a slight huski ness that robs his voice of brilliance.

and this lack made the "triumphal scene something of a misnomer for the Hrooklin singer. Sincerity and earnest ness are laudable qualities; but they are not enough where a voice of command ing calibre ia required. Julia Claussen brought the tame sense of assured authority to the role Amneris which has marked her performance in the part here on numer on past occasions, and she sang in her characteristic fashion. F.sio Pinn did notable fine work aa tha high priest lid sang sonorously. Giuseppe Danise was belter vocally than dramatically 111 the role of Amonssro.

William Gus-tittsnn msde a rather indifferent king Giordano Paltnnicri and Aida Doninell the cast, and Rita De Le- porie led the ballet, winning much enthusiastic applause. T11II10 Scrafin conducted capitally. 1 nMriiuii ,11 mr iiiiiiiiiiini ri rm made lis usual impression, with clari- iii-iie- nnu ni'iru ii uiiipeie Ulll.l ru 111 the bespectacled stage hand, to prove how up-lo-daie the ancient Kgyplinns were, alter all, in musical instruments. If was denied, however, that the dance of the pickaninnies had any svmbolicnl signilicancs on Lincoln 1 Birthday, 'Siegfried" next Tuesday at 7.4S P. sharp.
