A distinguished body of lawyer, jurist and lavnien will act as pallbearers and ushers. Interment will be In Greenwood Cemetery. Jus tlce Wilkin is survived by hi widow, who was Mis Margaret Dunnell, a member of a well-known family of Columbia Heights. Justice Wilkin was interested in the welfare of poor children practically all his lifetime. He was born in old New York City in 1860.

He graduated from Mount Washington Collegiate Institute in 1876 and decided to devote his life to the betterment of the condition of poor children. His parents were Oeorge and Marion Watson McCulloch Wilkin, a Scotch-American couple who prided themselves on their American patriotism. After a few months in commercial work he found employment with the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children and attracted the attention of the society's president. El-bridge T. Gerry, who in 1877 marie him principal assistant in his rescue of young children from several kinds of "padrone" systems that infested the city at that time.

Mr. Wilkin's yame rose with the success of the society and when, three years later, Horace B. Claflin. the great dry goods merchant, and Henry R. Jones, both residenta of Brooklyn, organized a children society here they appointed Mr.

Wilkin its superintendent. With him in that position this society soon arose to footing of great usefulness. Mr. Wilkin studied law the office of Moore. Low Wallace in New York City and in 1889 was admitted to the bar in Poughkeepsie.

He was at once placed in charge of the legal business of the Prooklyn Children's Society here and on Long Island. Appointed by Seth Low. In 1882, two years after he came to Brooklyn, Mayor Seth ow appointed Mr. Wilkin to make a report on the inferior Uwi Uv-civiL and criminal court pertaining to children, which' was the first report of tlia kind ever made, and, In 1884. his activity had much to do witM the passage of the first law for the probation and protection nf children.

In 1902 he drafted the amendment to the Clt Charter providing for the Children's Court in Brooklyn, and on April 14 of the following year he was appointed Justice of that court. He succeeded Elbridge T. Gerry as president of the State Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, and he was reelected many years. In 1906 he drafted the Juvenile Delinquency bill. Justice Wilkin drafted the bill that became si 'law establishing the Disciplinary Training School for Boy and was secretary and treasurer of the board of directors.

He was a member of the Board of Parole of the New York City Reformatory for Mis-. demeanants in 1904 and in 1911 was one of the incorporators of the Upanin Club for Boys between the ages of 16 and 25. He was also a great lecturer. Mayor Gaynor's Praise. Mayer Gaynor.

In 1913. appointed him Justice of the Special Sessions for a second term of 10 years and, referring to the Children's Court, he said the appointee was "the best fitted man in the United States for such a position." He was president of the American Canoe Association for a quarter of a century and president of the board of trustees of the Brooklyn Canoe Club. He was deeply Interested In the Boy Scouts of America and was a member of its organizing committee. He was also a member of the Masons and the Crescent Athletic and Hamilton clubs. Justice Franklin Chase Hoyt, Presiding Justice of the Children's Court, stated last night that the death of Justice Wilkin was an irreparable loss to the community.

"I regarded Justice Wilkin as the nestor of the Children's Court work," he said. "Only ehother day spoke to him about some new development in the work and he was as enthusiastic as ever over the new plans. His career is a superb record of a great life's work."

Justice Hoyt declared that his court would make appropriate recognition of the passing ot Justice Wilkin on Monday and that the entire staff of Justices of the Children's Court will attend the services tomorrow.

Kxtluuvm Renting Agenl Delaney Favors Gradual Condemnation for New Subway Construction. EloiLs will be made Uu winter to provide the legal machinery for th-r widenmc of street under whirl) new subways are to be constructed Brooklyn meets affected will be Tulton st lower Lafayette ave Scnermerhorn st and very poa sibly Smith and Jar lu Chairman John Drlaney of the Board of Transportation has given the subject considerable study and about ready to lay before the May or Committee on City Plan detailed suggestions for working out such a program, which it la understood will require special legislation, probably at Albany and. in all events, by the Board Aldermen and Board ol Es tirr.ate Mr. Delaney a studies show that the nerd lor increased street width de velops markedly along avenue under winch subways are laid, because sum facilities attract skyscraper business buildings and high apartment houses in residence districts. Because of this he believes the problem is linked with transit construction and should be solved along with the laying out of routes, not necessarily by the same authority but at least concurrently in point ot time.

Keeks Gradual Method. It is pointed out that under the prefent law the city may widen a at any time. But in practice tins means that when it does so it acquires by condemnation or purchase huge blocks of valuable Droo- crty in a single lump. Mr. Delaney believes that some way should be found to provide for the growth of traffic on a street by an evolutionary process that would obviate the necessity of huge initial payments in condemnation, and without the imposition of the annoyance and loss upon taxpayers which invariably accompanies such proceedings now.

It has been suggested that one way to provide such an evolutionary development would be as follows: Confer on the city authority to fix a future building line, so that as old structures are, torn down to be re placed by new and higher ones the owners would be compelled to set tnem back a given number of feet from the old building line. Then provide that at any date in the future such date to be determined by ths necessities of street traffic, the city would have the right to take bv con demnation the property thus left un used and such other older property not yet replaced by new structures. in this way, it Is urged, the city could progressively widen its main arteries without the burden of meeting excessive costs in one lump when such widening became an absolute necessity. Cites Fulton St. as Example.

Take Fulton St. Concurrently with the beginning of new construction along the portion above Lafayette wnen tne new Fulton st. sub way starts under that highway, the city would decide what Increase in surface traffic room would be needed by reason of the developments that would follow opening of the new underground. On that basis it would remap the street, setting the building line back on either side as many feet as it proposed eventually to widen. Then the city would rule that in case of any new structures they mini be set back to the new line.

If a large proportion of the older three and four-story buildings were not re placed by new and higher ones in other words, the usual develop ment did not occur the city might never be compelled to widen. If the development did take place, as it always has in the past, when there was sufficient of it to make the old width no longer ample, the widen ing could be effected without the excessive cost of paying for damage to new and expensive buildings. At the same time, the gradual payments to owners as new buildings were erected on the new lines would reduce tremendously the total cost that would come ih the last lump when the idening was actually effected and the remainder of old structures were cut off or moved back. 'DAWN man; NOT APE IS RACE'S ANCESTOR, SAYS DR. 0SB0RN Continued from Page 1.

that some of the higher stone age men were actually superior In brain power to some of the present higher races. The better we understand the human anatomy and mechanism of both the hand and foot and the more we learn of the fossil ancestors of men the less close appears our relation ship to the great anthropoid apes: the gorilla, tne orang and tne gmbon. Dr. Osborn writes. Neanderthal Man Not a Tree-Climber The Neanderthal man Is descended from many generations of walkers.

not of tree-climbers. When man takes to the trees it is never in the manner of the chimpanzee or the gorilla but in the manner of the bear. That is to say. he climbs by shinning the tree, by embracing the trunk with arms and shins. No anthropoid ape displays this power, which is among the early instincts of every boy." Elaborating ins theory that the "dawn man" will be found in the high Asiatic plateau region, Dr.

Osborn says: "During the tertiary times all the lowlands of Asia were relatively well torested and well watered, with a relatively accessible food supply, conditions altogether favorable for the continued development of the an thropoid apes. While these anthropoid apes were luxuriating in the forested lowlands of Asia and Europe the dawn men' were rising in the Invigorating atmosphere of the relatively dry plateaus of central Asia." Sees Civilisation Deteriorating. Civilization Is causing racial dete rioration, Dr. Osborn says, for great tare ol the individual, always a product of civilization. Is the greatest possible deterrent to racial development.

Mts. Edith Little Lewis has filed suit In Supreme Court here for $100,000 damages from the Women's Hospital In the State of New York, 141 W. 109th Manhattan, claiming that while she was a patient there her abdomen was so severely burned with acid that her career as a dancer came to an end. Mrs. Lewis, who is 26.

went to the hospital on Oct. 8, 1926, for an operation, and she alleges that while the preliminary preparations were under way somebody connected with the Institution bathed her abdomen with nitric acid Instead of picric acid and aa a contortionist dancer Mrs. Lewis Immediately became a flop. The hospital authorities came before Justice May yesterday and asked him to give the damage suit a fast final curtain on the legal theory that it is a charitable institution and its box office cannot be tapped by any such method. Justice May disagreed.

however, and pointed out that tne hospital owes the public the duty of having employees who will not switch bottles in the medicine chest. WEATHER FORECAST Local Probabilities. Cloudr and continued rold today. To morrow mow oor rain. Kreah to atron norlhaat winds.

THOMAS F. CLUE btnltcd Ruhr that opens Monday night at the Little Theater, it was learned today. Only this tune a "Farrar" won out when Mis" Grace Farrar. daughter of Judge John R. Farrar was selected to sing the leading role on the opening night.

Mme. Margaret Matzenauer. th Metropolitan s'ar. who is a member cf the Music School Settlement Board, was hastily called in to make the decision. For several weeks rehearsals have been goirg cn for the Brooklyn opera company.

When it came time to select -Uie rst there were four aspirants lor the role of Anna. Kendall K. M'jssey. director, heard them all and soon began to realize why Gatti-Casazza tears his hair. He knew, too.

how Max Relnhardt felt In trying to pick the nun lor his "Miracle." Four Girls in Race, The four girls who wanted the Anna role the opening night were: Irma de Baun. Brooklyn girl who made her concert debut a year ago; Dorrianne Bawn. an English mrl who came over here with the company of me ufggars upera and Is now the wife of the musical director of Marian Palmer, from the music Conservatory of Syracuse University and Miss Farrar. The final test was held Friday afternoon. Each of the girls sang the famous Anna aria from the opera.

Unknown to the singers. Mme. Matzenauer was sitting In a dark corner in the back of the theater. After the tryout Mme. Matzenauer threw up her hands In a gesture of despair, and exclaimed: "What can I say, they are all good The opera star and Mr.

Mussev out their heads together. They discussed tms voice and that range. Finally Mme. Matzenauer. who should be on the diplomatic corps, rolled her expressive brown eyes and asked: "Who first applied for the role of Anna?" Wins by Priority.

It was discovered that Miss Farrar had been the first to join the opera company and she was selected. The other three girls will sing the role on toiiowing nights. Miss Farrar has been studying mu sic since her graduation from Packer in 1922. She spent three years at the Fontauibleau School of Fine Arts in France and has appeared in con cert in Paris. She was modest about her selection and Insisted it was just because she was lucky and happened to apply first.

"Please, of course, I am," she said, "but a little scared, too. If I had a chance to see someone else first then I would feel better about it. No, I've never appeared in opera before, but like any one who sings, I would love to make the Metropolitan some day." Mme. Matzenauer. with her 17 years' experience at the Metropolitan, patted the little Brooklyn girl on the shoulder and smiled as srie said: "I came all the way over to Brooklyn on a wet day like this to pick another Farrar." SIX McQUADE KIN ON OLD PAYROLLS, DR.

ALLEN REVEALS Continued from Faze 1. among which he found a "special payroll" for temporary employees who were paid a total of $137,000 in 1D26. A quintet of names listed on this were all McQuades and the Register himself promptly agreed that "they must be relatives." Old Revelations. Before that it had been revealed that Timothy McNamara of 103 Noble charged with doing "no work" for his salary of $1,500 a year, was the Register's brother-in-law, while Mary A. C.

Mason, a coypist at $2,059 a year, was actually Mrs. John C. Mc-Dermott of 1334 E. 14th wife of the Register's Jhiel clerk. Both McNamara and Mrs.

McDer-mott, Mr. McQuade insisted, earned their pay by working at night rnd for that reason could not be found In the office during daytime worklnc hours. The new list of relatives were: James McQuade. who appears on four of the two-weekly payroll lists and was paid $170. John McQuade, on 6 of the lists for $390.

The total received by the McQuades was $1,890. McNamara on Two Jobs. "That," said Allen, "makes six relatives of the Register on his pay roll, when you add McNamara. who is said to be working at night, although he has a day job elsewhere In New York and although we believe he actually has been doing very little work lot the Register. If this Is not a case of nepotism what would be?" No such significance was seen, however, by Register McQuade.

"They must be relatives of mine," he said, "but that was a year and a half ago. and I don't recall the details. There were about 150 of these cmplovees. They did special and temporary work, chiefly clerical, and I had to get whomever I could and whoever was competent to do the work required. Therea no nepotism or anything like that in It.

i "If Allen wants to know more about my family tell him my mother was born In Queenstown." Scores Special Fay Rolls. Allen explained that "I'm not so much troubled 'by whether they're relatives or not as by the question of whether they did any work. That seems questionable, and there Is some doubt as to the desirability of the special pav rolls altogether." He added that he had given Deputy Controller Frank J. Prial Information on the basts of which. It was an nounced yesterdav.

Plans Elaborate Station Links Projected. Construction ot a six-track subway under Scnermerhorn st. from Smith to Flatbush ave. and abandonment of the use of Livingston st. for sub way purposes has been practically settled.

The Board of Transportation a few days ago passed a resolution calling upon the Board of Estimate for action looking to the condemna tion of a strip along the south side of Bchermerhorn st. irom Smith to Bond sts. This strip would be two blocks long and the depth of one lot, or approximately 100 feet, and would be used to provide room for an elaborate underground station for use of the new Fulton st. subway trains, the new crosstown subway trains and the trains coming In over the Smith Culver line. The station would ac commodate six tracks with two island and one side platform, all connected by a mezzanine.

Elaborate Stations. In addition it is being planned to construct underground passageways that would connect this station with the Lawrence st. station of the B. M. the Boro Hall station of the I.

R. T. and the Hoyt st. station of the same system. As tentatively laid out by the enal- neers it would provide the most extensive Interconnected system of underground stations anywhere in the city, far more elaborate than the Oraiid Central and Times Square layouts In Manhattan.

The details of the clan have not vet been completed, so that formal action cannot be taken by the Board of Transportation, but, barring the development of some unforeseen en gineering difficulty, formal aDnroval of the plan is a mere matter of time and waits only completion of drawings and specifications for construction and operation. even If the Individual must suffer, Is the only salvation. Dr. Osborn also emphasizes the importance of purity of race, which. he says, must be preserved at all costs so that promiscuous mingling of higher and lower strains may not result in the production of an inferior type of man.

Steps to Save the Race. Hailing the Scandinavians as the purest of modern races. Dr. Osborn says they have been hampered seriously by emigration. One of the most hopeful signs for the future, he continues, is the steps they are taking to keep their best men and women at homesteps which are being followed by the United States.

Dr. Osborn was graduated from Princeton In 187. His book dedicated to his brother, William Church Osborn, "in appreciation of his active share as a trustee In raising the standards of scholarship and research In his alma mater.

I. White, 407 4th and her family of three from the burden of household duties. A Classified ad in The Eagle was the cause of this rush of assistance. Mrs. w'hite advertised for a general houseworker in a good home and 24 hours later her problem was solved.

She told us over the phnne thai she was "very well pleased with results and happy that only one appearance of her ad was sufficient."
