PROVIDED AGAINST
DISASTER IN WILL
Clark, Cotton Thread King, Pre-
pared for Catastrophe Like
That of Titanic.

The thought of a disaster similar
TO that which befell the steamship
Titanic April IA last was evidently
in the mind of William Campbell
Clark when he drew his last will and
testament, which was flied for pro-
bate in the county surrogate's office
today. The will is dated March 26,
1906. over six years before the Titanic
catastrophe.
After the disposition of the prop
erty is made in three clauses the
fourth reads: "In case, how
ever, neither my wife nor any
of my descendants survive me
or in case we all perish IN
the same disaster, or from its effects,
direct that ali my estate, real and
nersonal, be divided into four equal
shares, one share each to be paid or
allotted to each of the four following
charitable institutions: The Bapiese
Hospital, of Newark; st. Barnapas 5
Hospital, of Newark; the Home OF
Respectable Aged Women, of New
ark, and the Long Branch memorial
Hospital, at Long Branch.
AS the contingency provided for by
Mr.. Clark did not arise, the chari-
table institutions named by Mr.
Clark do not benefit under the VIII.
Instead the entire property is given
to the widow, Mrs. Mary G. Clark,
and her two children, Estelle, aged
II, and Felicity, aged H.
To Mrs. Clark is devised all the fur
niture, automobiles, carriages and
other possessions owned by Mr.. Clark
at the time of his death, including ell
proceeds of insurance policies, wheth-
er made payable either TO the de-
ceased his wife or the estate.
To the two children, Estelle and
Felicity, is left all real and personal
property owned BY Mr.. Clark in the
state Of Maine. consisting of Burnt
Island. in South Branch Lake in
Guiding the building known as Birch

Joseph Rubino had beaten the only
keeper insensible with an iron dumb
bell
Rubino Is today in the county jail
for safekeeping. He is already await
ing sentence on charge of carrying
concealed weapons; he is wanted in
Brooklyn for .stabbing affray. and
he will have to face additional
charges of assault and battery and
attempting to break Jail.
When he was found guilty of gum
toting in the Juvenile court on Satur-
day he had a premonition that he
would be given long term in the re-
formatory.
At a. m. Sunday he aroused the
boys wing of the House of Detention
by pounding the wall of his room
with the two-pound inn dumbbells
used by the prisoners in their daily
exercises.
Keeper Christopher Nulty, who was
on duty, went to the second floor and
warned the boy to keep quiet; but
the noise awoke the building again
at o'clock.
"You come cut of there and stand
in the corridor" ordered Nulty.
This is the ordinary punishment
meted out the unruly, and Rubinc
marched mildly out, with his arms
folded in schoolboy fashion.
"Now you keep quiet" said Nulty,
turning toward the stairs
Rubino sprang upon the keeper and
stretched him on the floor with one

Superintendent Daniel Delaney had
not arrived, and there Was not an
other keeper In the building. In
Nulty's pocket were the keys.
Mrs. Elizabeth Matthews the as
sistant matron, who had been going
up the stairs, saw Nulty attacked.
She realized the danger of jail de-
livery.
Running downstairs, she opened
window and called for help Mrs.
Richard McGuinness, wife OF the war

way to mass, heard her cry. She
hurried into the county jail and told
her husband.
The warden ordered Keepers James
Smith and Louis Walner to accom-
pany him and rushed across the
street.
They found Rubino trying to de-
tach Nulty's keys. The boy had seen
them on the stairs. He seized his
dumbbell and flung himself at them,
fighting desperately from top to bot
tom of the flight.
Warden, keepers and prisoners
landed at the foot in an interlocked
tangle, out of which the dumbbell
shot viciously at intervals. Dis
armed and manacled, Rubino was
led across to a cell in the county
Jail :.
He was arrested on November IL
for carrying concealed weapons by
lieutenants from police headquarters.
Although he says he is 16. it is
thought that he is two or three
years older.

ETTOR MURDER
TRIAL is NOW IN
HANDS OF Jury
Only Caruso Can Be
Guilty in First
Degree.
JUDGE SAYS OTHERS CAN
NOT BE SENT TO CHAIR
Second Grade Verdict Is Most
That Can Be Melted Out
TO Them.

SALEM, Mass, Nov 25.-The fate
of Joseph Ettor, Arturo Giovannitti
and Joseph Caruso, accused Of the
murder of Anna Lopizzo in the Law
renee textile strike, is now in the
hands of the jury. which retired at
1913 this afternoon, after the judges
charge
Ettor and Giovannitti who on Sat-
urday pleaded that they be sent to
the electric chair If found guilty of
the murder of Anna Lopizzo, cannot
be convicted of murder in the first
degree.
Judge Quinn in charging the jury
today instructed that the evidence in
the case did not warrant a first de-
gree verdict. If guilty the verdict,
he said, must be second degree mur-
der.
Caruso may be found guilty of
first degree murder, but none of the
defendants, under the form of indict-
ment, could be adjudged guilty OF
manslaughter.
Judge Quinn outlined the charges
against the defendants, the partici-
patton in the riot in which Anna
Lopizzo was killed and melting vio-
lence by Ettor and Giovannitti. Culp-
able homicide, he said, was either
murder in the first or second degree
or manslaughter. The complaint of
the working people of Lawrence
against their employers could not be
considered in this case.
| The riot of January 80 in Lawrence,
in which the woman met her death,
was discussed, the court reviewing
| the evidence.
Rights are not to be determined
nor wrongs vindicated by tumultuous
riots" said the court. "All who par
ticipate in such riots where murder
occurs are principals to the crime. Il
is for you to determine If a riot oc-
CURED and If Caruso was there"
When Judge Quinn had completed
his charge there was long delay,
while counsel reviewed the instruc-
tions and submitted others for the
courts consideration. At 1910 the
jury was excused for short recess.

its verdict at 12:43 p. m.

SENATOR RAYNER
IS DEAD, AFTER

Prominent Democrat
Succumbs to Attack

today. at the end Of long flinecs re-

Senator Rayner had been in a
comatose state since last Wednesday,
with only one or two slight rallies.

about six weeks, dating from the
efforts made in the joint. political de-

For over five years Senator Rayner

Governor Goldsborough will appoint
in his place, and who win hold Office

meets in January. 1914.
Senator Rayner's death removes
one of the Democrats on whom the
control of the Senate depended in the

FORMAN'S FAMILY

Following the statement of DR..
William o. Bailey, of 10 Hill street,
that he saw George Forman, the
missing former city auditor. last
Friday, assurance that Forman is
"alive and safe" comes today from
an acquaintance of the Forman
family.
Mrs. Alexander Irving, of 1888 North
Seventh street, was seen by an Eve

knows from the Forman family that
the missing man is living.
"Only few weeks ago. Mrs. Irv-

Forman's family, and from what she
said / am sure he is alive and safe.
But even his own family does not
know where he is
Beyond that Mrs. Irving would not
talk.
Great surprise was expressed by
friends Of the former city auditor at
the report. that. he was seen in this
city last Friday.
According to DR. William o. Bailey,
of 10 Hill street, as he passed Pedd.e

Forman. who was standing on the
sidewalk, hailed him:

Hello, George" the physician says
he replied, but before he could swing
his automobile about and return, For

the Hudson tunnels.
DR.. Bailey insists that he could not
have been mistaken. as he had known
Forman eighteen years.
Although systematic inquiry has
been made among Forman's other
friends, none of them will acknowl-
edge having seen him. Almost all of
them admit, however that IL the for

possible that he would chance a fly

clared that a minimum requisite to
Servia's national development was

statesman, meant her possession Of a
stretch of coast line of about thirty
