Surrogate Refuses to
Probate Joseph LyOns's Will

Because 1t did not show testament
tary intent, the will of Joseph b.
Lyons. who died at his home here
on April 81, 1912, was refused by the
surrogate when offered for probate
today.
The will was made on an assign
ment form of the Cigarmakers' In
ternational Union. of which Lyons
was member. Lyons filled in the
blank naming his wife as the one to
receive any benefit from the union
in case of his death. He then added
to the bottom of the paper this para
graph:
81 also give my wife my twenty
two acres of land In Duval county,
Florida, and my two building lots in
Spotswood. Middlesex county"
Emily r. Bennett, of Rochester,
and Rose Lyons, of Newark, signed
their names as witnesses. The only
thing to show that it was intended
as will is the inscription on the en-
velope:
ITO the secretary of c. NJ I. u. of
A. No. 1873. My will, to be opened at
my DEATH"
Deputy Surrogate Owen A. Han
retty advised Mrs. Lyons that 1t
would be necessary to bring the will
into Orphans Court to have 1t ad-
mitted. She said that she thought
that 1t would be hardly worth the
trouble, as the land is all swamp land
and worth about $40 in all.

PROVERB QUERY ANSWERS

proper? Or would you prefer a way
so that you could separate the in
correct answers from the correct? If
pasted, you had to tear off the whole
page upon which the incorrect an
swers are? GEORGE WEBS.
We would much prefer to have you
send in the coupons arranged in nu-
merieal order and simply fastened
together-not pasted in book, which
would mean unnecessary work for
you and for us. Uniformity In this is
what we most desire because, you
can readily understand, the task of

answers is very great. Correct an
swers only are what count.

In other words. it's the right answers
that win. The public in general is
very speculative as to the genuine
ness of these contests.
I believe it would be a good thing
to publish the correct answers to the
sixty proverbs when awarding the
prizes so that unsuccessful contest
ants could compare their answers and
find their mistake, that would prove
to the public that the contest was on
the level.
Hoping to see an answer to this let
ter in your columns.
A CONTESTANT.
Your understanding Is correct. This
contest, as well as all others conduct
ed by the Star, is decided solely on its
merits, and those who answer the
proverbs correctly win. If you could
spend day or two in this office and
see the eagerness of the public in Sc
curing duplicate coupons and pictures
and books Of proverbs. your opinion
that "the public is very speculative as
to the genuineness OF the contest"
would change. Moreover, we always
did and always will publish the cor
rect list Of answers when the contest
Is ended.
And, while am on this subject, Il
would seem to me 70 be q very good
idea II all contestants would make an
exact copy of the answers they send
in, in order that they may compare
them with the official list when pub
lished.

Dear Proverb Editor:
A great many people in our neigh
borhood, l believe. would seriously
contest for your prizes If they could
be assured that the contest and the
| awarding of prizes would be conduct
ed without favoritism. There seems
to be general feeling that no. news
paper can actually give away such
an amount of money, and l am free
to confess that cannot quite figure
| 1t out myself although I am con-
testant, solely on faith. If you can
answer this / am sure you will make
many converts, because the prizes
are certainly enticing. j. L. M.
Thank you for your faith" 1t is
not misplaced. The contest Is con-
Quoted strictly on its merits, and pos
itively no favoritism will be shown
in making the awards. Why? Be-
cause the minute the contest is ended
the answers of contestants and the
awarding of prizes are in the hands
of the judges. The judges will be
disinterested parties-not connected
with the Star-and men OF integrity.
They will decide the contest and
award the prizes to those who by
their work actually deserve them.
AS to how we can afford to do 1t, let
me explain that the life of news
paper is it's circulation--its readers.
OF course, at a penny a day, there
is no money made in circulation
alone. But the advertising carried
by a newspaper is what pays the
profit. If there were no readers there
would be no advertising; hence no
profits and, hence again--no news
Inn "a
paper has the more advertising 1t
will carry-therefore the more profit
1t will make. Out of the thousands
of extra readers who will take the
paper during this contest We figure
certain percentage will become so
favorably impressed with the good
features of the Star that they will
become permanent readers. Every
business is willing to pay certain
percentage for new business. So Is a
newspaper. This $1,000 is that per-
centage. 1t is, moreover, advertising
for the Star Everybody is talking
about the Star and it's $1,000 Proverb
Contest, and what we gain in popu-
larity and In added readers Is we'll
worth the amount of money we give
in prizes to our readers.
Proverb Editor:

Boy Steals Check for
S 81; Spends Money for
Candy and the Movies

With boastfulness and fluent detail
thirteen-year- Michael Nanc1ni, OF
1877 Newark street, told the Sixth pre-
oinct police today how he had stolen
a check for $32, cashed 1t and spent
all but 1851 of the money in one long,
gorgeous boyish spree.
He was gorged with candy and
satiated with the movies" he had
seen when he was taken into custody
at Elizabeth and Renner avenues at
10:4O o'clock last night through the
description that had been given the
police when his disappearance from
home was reported on November 20.
When the 1851 in change was found
in his possession he was asked where
he had obtained the money.
His story was that he had taken
from the tailor shop of Salvatore
Bibona, 1877 Newark street, a check
for 1872. This he had cashed, and
then he had gone further and col
lected 81 due on a bill he had found
among the tailor's papers.
The boy is now on probation. He
was sent to the House of Detention to
await the action of the Juvenile
Court.

LAWYERS FORCED
TO TELL OF AUTO
Plainfield Attorneys Hailed to
Court to Explain About
Missing Car.

George M. Bird and Samuel Swack-
hamer, of the law firm of Swack-
hamer & Bird, attorneys of Plain
field, appeared in the local BANKRUPTCY
court today on subpoenas to tell what
became of an automobile which dis
appeared from the garage of one OF
the firms clients in Plainfield.
Mrs. Josephine M. Coffin, wife or
William H. Coffin, a bankrupt, who
formerly conducted a rubber tire
store in William street, on the wit
ness stand in the bankruptcy court
had testified at previous hearings
that Attorney Bird came and took the
automobile, telling her 1t would be
for the best that neither she nor her
husband knew where the car was
going.
Both the attorneys were subpoenaed
by Nathan Bilder attorney for w.
Locke Rockwell, Collins receiver, to
tell what they did with the car and
why they took It.
Mr.. Bilder put both the attorneys
through a grilling examination, and
1t was only after Bankruptcy Referee
Edwin c. Adams had instructed At
torney Bird to answer Mr.. Bilder's
question that the witness agreed to
, tell where the car was. Then he said
it was in the garage of the Burdette
Brothers, at Whitehouse.
why didn't you tell Mrs. Coffin,
who owns the car. where it was
going?" asked Attorney Bilder.
''Well, you see, she might have let
5 it out, and then everything we did
would have been spoiled | believe in
secreting property to prevent unjust
attachments, said Attorney Bird.
His partner. Attorney Swackha-
mer, was placed on the stand and
. asked why the car was taken away
and hidden.
1T was put away to save possible
litigation he said. II would rather
have thing in my possession and
fight TO keep 1t than let someone else
have 1t and me try to get 1t. I be-
lieve possession is nine points of the
law, and did not want to take any
chances"
Coffin declared he sold the car to his
wife several months before he went
into bankruptcy. Attorney Bilder,
however, thinks the car was given to
his wife as security for a 5000 loan,
instead of being sold, and will at
tempt to reclaim it for the benefit of
Collins creditors. There is consider
able equity in the car above the 5000
loan.
