IJCIlt T . Xi,,J.
Brolasky. who was a furrier and wrs
widely known as a patron of music, died
February 19. 11117. at 12J1 Spruce street.
Two wills were found.
In the first, executed August 1J, 1911,
he directed that the estate he held In
trust for the benefit of his widow,
Rosalie L. Brolasky The principal was
to revert to the helrs-at-law after her
death.
The second .testament, dated October
19. 191. bequeaths the estate absolutely
to Sirs Brolasky and names the widow
and her niece, Carrie K. Hurney, ex
ecutors. The .testator's heirs filed a caveat At
tacking the probate of the second will
on the grounds that Mr. Brolasky lacked
testamentary capacity and was suDjectra
to undue Influence. The caveat has just
been withdrawn.
All the effects of Clarence M. Wll-
klns. whose will was probated today.
art bequeathed to h's partner, Oscar H.
rtevltch. and his children, whom he
termed "young and able," are not In.
eluded as beneficiaries.
Wllklns, who died July 22 In the Jew

the following clause in his will: "What
worldly possessions I have are due en
tirely to his (Revltch's) generosity."
The estate Is valueless according to

Washington, July 2!. (By I, X, S.)
That America's aircraft program has
received a severe set-back through, tha
continued manufacture and use oj ths

memDerE of the Senate Military Affair
Committee this afternoon. nn.Pl r- ..

that the De Ifavlland Four was vir
tually worthless, and enumerating tti
defects. Although some of these defects
have been corrected, their manufacture
and shipment abroad continue over his
protest, members of the committee
stated. 763 having been produced and
more than 600 sent oxerseas.
It became known today, however, that
the Semite Aircraft Investigating Com
mittee Is not yet prepared to recommend
the abandonment 6t the De Havlland.
Members want to be completely satis
fied, they say, that the machine Is In
fact, a complete failure, before ordertnc
iu.it action.
"We are not yet satisfied that the d
Halland should follow the Bristol o
Its way to the scrap heap." said a mem
ber of the committee, "but the machine
as It Is now being produced Is far from
a success and may Indeed, prove a
complete failure."
The Bristol machine, which waR tha
only other machine that played a major
part In the American aircraft, was aban
doned about ten days ago after a nura-
oer or pilots had been killed while ex
perimenting with the machine.
The place of the Bristol in- the air
craft program was. taken by the S. B.,
Five, a single-seat combat machine,
which will not come Into production In
larg.e numbers for- several months.
Aside from the Bristol planes, tho
Havlland and a largo number of planing
planes, no fighting airplane has been
produced In the United States exvept
one Handley-Page and one Capronl, both,
heavy bombing machines.
