VERDICT Of JURY
IN STEERE WILL
CASE SUSTAINED

The supreme court holds in the case Of
Robert Steere, et al, VS.. Allen 4. Page,
Steere. that the decision OF jury in the
superior court against a certain instru-
ment offered as the last will and testa-
ment OF Frank Steere, must be sustain
ed. In rescript handed down. the SUI
preme court says "The official relation
between the testator and the beneficiary
under the will was such as TO require
clear proof that the will was executed
freely and without coercion or undue in
fuence on the part OF the beneficiary
The evidence was conflicting upon all the
essential facts bearing upon this ques-
ton, as upon the question OF actual exc
cution OF the will. We think. therefore,
that the verdict OF the jury must be sus-
tanned"

NO INTENTION TO ACT AS STRIKE
BREAKERS.
None OF those who are closely identi-
fed with AFFAIRS concerning the Massa-
chusetts Institute OF Technology cared to
make any extended remarks yesterday re-
garding the story emanating from Provi-
dence which stated that Tech students
had invaded Providence as strike break
ers and had been employed at the Build
ers' Iron foundry on Codding street.
Frank r. Stantial, Tech 70 who is one
OF the managers OF the institute, declared
that those connected with the institution
had up to date paid no attention to the
report.
II do not think" he said, that anyone
connected with the institute will pay any
attention TO the reports.
After students leave the institute they
have right TO do what they please"
About a week ago Tech students and
others from Brown university obtained
positions In some OF the machine shops In
Providence. and as there was strike
among the machinists, those who took
the places OF the strikers were referred to
as strike breakers. The students claim
that they are simply working in the
foundries in an effort to learn the busl-
ness in its practical details.
