Philosopher's Views Misunder­

stood, He Tells Gathering

at Jewish Centre.

Dr. Will Durant, director of the -Labor Temple School, lectured last night to members of the Brooklyn Jewish Centre. His subject, "Spinoza and the Development of Jewish Thought," was the first of a series of five lectures he will deliver at the centre concerning "modern phil­osophy,"

The speaker took up first Spinoza's life, and dwelt, at length on his "mis­fortune in being so far ahead of his time."

"That," said the doctor, "has stifled the activities of many great men and was particularly unfortunate for Spinoza. He published only one book during his lifetime, and when you know what that cost him, you will realize why, That book, 'A Treatise on the Relation Between the Church and the State,' brought him one of the most scathing and elaborate ex­communications that a synagogue has ever delivered."

Dr. Durant spoke of Spinoza's one and only love affair as having been unfortunate, but in the end, helpful to him. He fell in love with the daughter of one of his professors, and when finally she refused him for the sake of another suitor he left her "with a broken heart but a greatly clarified head."

The speaker enlarged on Spinoza's greatest work, "Ethics Geometrically Demonstrate!:," giving minute direc­tions a* to how n should be read to achieve the greatest benefit there­from. He promised his hearers mat if they would follow his directions and really understand Spinoza's phil­osophy, it would make a great

Col. Fairservis then massed the regiment in front of the reviewing stand, and Gen. Bullard delivered a brief address, in which he lauded the citizen soldiery for its persistent work before and after the war, when, as he pointed out, members of the National Guard were subjected to more or less ridicule.

"There are a lot of people who think that there is never going to be any more war," said the general. "That is just what they told you be­fore the World War. They are telling us the same thing now. I do not want to see another war, but we must at no time be unperparcd."

Referring to his retirement from active service in the army, which oc­curs on Jan. 15, Gen. Bullard said:

"T have visited this regiment on many occasions in the past, and be­cause I am soon to retire from active service I do not want you to under­stand that 1 am going to forget about you. l will not. for this is one of the finest aggregations of citizen soldiers that I have ever seen."

THRONGS OF DEALERS ATTEND BIG AUTO SHOW

Motor ear dealers from aB tft* Eastern Kate* who were unttWe te, or neglected to vliit the ' i t iotml Automobile show 'during trade period W t week were out roe at the big armory in the Bm. /ester-day, contracting for their »*.,,-ply of cars for the -re ,r to come. Some of the most Important distributors in the east were to be seen and the vol­ume of their orders is said to have been, in all cases, as large as last year, with a larger preportion wanted for enrly delivery. Volume shipments in the early months add to the flexibility of production schedules.

There was no diminution yesterday In the sl*e of the crowds attending the automobile show. Throughout the week they have been very large, and last nfgtit the vast floor of the armory was thronged almost to Its full capacity. A majority of the visitors are thoroughly familiar with the newyr Ideas in construction. Re­tail buyers of cars do not take nearly so long In making np their minds as they did In former years, nor are they nearly so dependent on the salesmen.

"I had been hearing indirectly for many years tliat the family of Chan was doomed, but did not see how my husband could have been in­volved. I can in no way Account for his murder."

This was the statement of the young widow of Dr. Wah F. Chan, Chinese dentist, victim of an assas­sin's knife, when interviewed last night at the Chan home, a modest but tastefully decorated apartment a t 6*4 Park * f « u » , Wert Sew York, Chan was slain in his dental office on Mott street, Manhattan.

The widow, an attractive woman in the early twenties, and so fair of complexion she scarcely resembles an Oriental, said she and her hus­band, who had been married about two years and had no children, had resided in West New York about six months. She declined to answer^a question as to whether the dentist had moved from Chinatown to West New York to escape the fate which finally overtook him.

With all the stoicism, of her race, and even smiling at times, Mrs, Chan talked freely of her husband's affairs. She explained that reports of her husband's frequent appear­ances on the streets of Chinatown with a pretty white girl might easily have referred to herself Her ap­pearance readily bore out this as­sertion. She haa large brown eyes and her beauty is enhanced by an air of refinement and culture. •

"My husband was the sole survivor of the Chan family, a wealthy family of old lineage In Hongkong," she fiaid. "Ha was the only heir of my late father-in-law, a rich importer and exporter, who died recently In Hongkong and left a large estate, the exact value of* which is being determined by the executors." <

The widow otrtifhed how her hus­band had studied dentistry In China, afterwards coming to this country, where he took a general course at Columbia University and Continued his studies in dentistry at the Vatt-derbllt Clinic in Manhattan. fShe said he was not practicing dentistry at his Mott street office, but was doing research work there for the Vanderhllt Cftnie,

"I frequently warned my husband aealnst walking about Chinatown," she declared. "The fact that he was killed in his office shows he roust have followed my advice. The Chan family was absolutely neutral In the war between the Hip Sing and On Deong tonga" n

Mrs. Chan said the murdered den­tist would eventually be buried In Hongkong, where the other member, of his family lie. She said his body, which Is now at Bellevue Hospital In Manhattan, would remain there pending the arrival of an uncle from St. Paul. Minn., who would complete arrangements for the funeral,

The 1925 staffs of officers of the Twenty-eighth Ward Republican Club and the Ladies' Auxiliary of the club were Installed In office last night by Republican County Deader J. A. Livingston. The ceremony of the induction of the officers Into the places thev will hold this year took place at the clubhouse of the or­ganization in the Twentieth As­sembly District, at Knickerbocker avenue and Madison street.

In a speech prefacing his action In installing the officers, County Leader Livingston assailed the $390,-000,000 budget in New York City and also called attention to an increase of $#3,000,000 which, he asserted, has taken place in the running ex­penses pf the State government under Gov. Smith's administration.

"I believe the voters of this city," said Mr. Livingston, in referring to the 1925 Mayoralty election, "ougnt to be just as desirous for economy in the city as they are in the nation. If we can get enough voters suffi­ciently interested in the next cam­paign and impress upon them the necessity fcr making a change, I be­lieve there will be enough of them who will vote to make a change.

"When Mayor Mitchel left the Mayor's chair, the budget was $201,-000,000. It is now going to be about $390,<)00,COO. We realize, of course, that in the past eight years the city has grown and that the expenses of government have increased, but 1 do not believe there is a good reason why the budget should have been in­creased t-ora $201,000,000 to almost $400,000,000 in eight years.

"If the budget keeps mounting at the rate that it has been these past eight years, it will not be long before we will have a budget approx­imating $500,000,000. With these con­stant increases, it follows that valua­tions must be increased on property, and that mean, rents will have to be

just as much as any landlord, should be interested in seeing this city run in an economical way."

Mr. Livingston made analysis of the 1924 election and said he was una

retary Wilbur. "When the Secretary pf the Navy,"

said Britten, "admits that the Amerl- , can Navy is slower, of a lighter ton­nage and outranged by that of Great Britain It Is time for Congress to act.

"We should do something to offset some of the advantages Great Brit­ain has over us, and Secretary^WH-bur testified that elevation of tha guns on cur battleships wouldt go m long way in . counteracting cJreat Britain's advantage."

As an aftermath of, Wilbur's tes­timony. Representative McCUnttc, Democrat,, of Oklahoma, announced he soon will introduce legislation pro­viding for aircraft training a t the) Naval Academy at Annapolis, Md.

"Cnder present conditions," saic\ McClintic, "a student at the NavaS Academy receives no instruction In aircraft until he has graduated from the institution. We should legislate to provide, for instruction at the acad­emy and send these stoudents up in planes as a part of their regular training. Aviation is now rapidly cominb to the fore and we should prepare to hold our own."
