COUNSEL HAS
TILT DURING
READY TRIAL
Judge Martin Forced to Use
Gavel to End Warm
Argument.

Clashes between counsel marked the
trial of Matthew j. Ready before Judge
william P. Martin today. Early in the
day John j. Bolan, of the surrogate's
office, was called to the stand to
identify the final accounting of the
estate of John w. Russell as fled by
Mary Clavin, the e%xecutrix and bene-
ticiary under the will. Z
The accounting showed that the
estate amounted to something over
81, 900. Prosecutor Mott got busy at
once with objections, and wanted to
know why the paper did not show dis
position of property that Russell is
said to have owned in New York State
and Canada.
THE paper is there" said Judge
Henry, counsel for Ready, land you
can examine it,"
II know the paper is there" retorted
Mott, land I do not want to examine 1t.
1t is cross-examination I am after. /
can't ss-examine that paper. and
MIR. Bolan knows nothing about it, eX-
cept that it is in his possession az an
officer of the surrogate's Office"
Whipple O.. Sales. an aged lawyer Of
East Orange, who has an office in New
York, and who for twenty years was a
close friend of Russell's vas called to
the stand by Judge Henry. Sales was
h first important witness for the de-
Tense. He was deliberate and careful
in his answers to questions put to him
by Judge Henry. He said he had never
seen Russell 10 anything "in a hurry"
in answer to a question by Henry 10
whether Russell was a rapid writer or
not.
Henry asked the veteran awyer If
a certain signature on a document was
not that of John w. Russell. Mott. sit
ting at the ounsel table, drawled
Well if that is not a leading question
l never heard one but made no direc,
objection to the court.
Judge Henry took up the gage and
came back with the reply, IF YOU
think that is leading you do not know
law. Mott, still in his seat, said
Don't get funny
Judge Henry had just time enough
to say that he believed the remark of
the prosecutor to be entirely uncalled
for inc insulting" when Judge Mar
tins gavel banged on the desk and In
a voice that was intense with heat he
ordered counsel to confne themselves
to the issues involved and not bicker
with each other. Mott and Henry
glared at each other for a moment.
Then Henry proceeded in his examina-
ton of Sales.
The defense devoted ali its time In an
effort to prove that Russell In his last
days had so changed his handwriting
through that his signature
varied almost every time he wrote it.

CAN SEE LIGHT
FOR s. MILES
New Guide to Steamers at
Richmond, S. |.

To guide the great steamships
that enter the port of New York by
way of the Ambrose Channel, a
great white light will shine after
April ID from the new tower at
Richmond, Staten Island.
The tower of red brick, above a.
white limestone base, rises to a
height of 100 feet, but the lamp will
be 231 feet above mean low water
and visible thirty-fiye miles out at
sea. Because Of It's commanding
position ON the heights of Richmond
the tower will be visible also by day
and prove a guide to mariners.
The tower will hold the rear
range light for what is known as
the first or outer leg of the Ambrose
Channel, through which all transat-
lantic steamships must pass to enter
the port. The dredging-of the outer
section of this channel to a width of
feet and a depth Of forty feet,
Is now nearing completion. The
front range light, operated In con-
junction with the rear light, Is 1ocat-
ed at West Bank in the lower bay,
northeast of Sandy Hook. When a
steamship passes the Ambrose Chan
mel lightship, which marks the outer
entrance to the channel, the naviga-
tor will direct his course toward the
lower bay by the coincidence Of the
front and rear range lights.
For the second or middle leg of
the course a. second range of lights
will be established, the rear light on
Swinburne's Island and the front
light at a point in the lower bay,
midway and a little to the east of a
line drawn between Swinburne's Is
land and the West Bank light, which
Is two miles south of ~Swinburne's
Island. No range lights will be
necessary for the inner leg of the
course to the Narrows and the way
is marked by buoys.
From Ambrose Channel Lightship
to the rear range light is a distance
of eighteen miles, but the latter, be-
cause of it's height, will be discern
ed farther out at sea and will guide
incoming vessels seeking the chan
mel.
The light will be a fixed white ray
of 100000 candle power, supplied by
incandescent oil vapor. The lens is
known as a second order range lens.
The tower Is fitted with the latest
devices for storing and pumping the
oil for the lamps.
Congress appropriated 500, 600
for the erection of the rear range
tower and for raising the front
range light at West Bank, but with
the economy which Is characteristic
of the lighthouse service o%ne-fourth
of the amount has been saved. Fred
erick Nelson, the keeper of the
light, will have ar assistant and the
government has provided them a.
substantial brick house, with pic
turesque tiled roof, alongside the
tower. There Is an arce of ground
about the tower, enclosed by a wood
land, and in addition to their sala-.
ries and an allowance of thirty cents
a day each, for rations and fuel, they
will be entitled to what garden
truck they can raise while off duty
in the tower.
