Machine Gun Is
Put In Position

On a visit to the prison yesterday
il was noticed that Warden Dicker-
son is getting things prepared for any
emergency which may occur in the
way Of break. The Gattling gun,
which has for so long been lying idle
at the state police headquarters, has
been mounted on the north wall of
the yard, so that in emergency it may
be used to sweep all that part OF the
premises except that covered by the
hospital and the old prison shoe-shop
The old unused blacksmith shop,
which would have interfered with the
usc of the gun, is being torn down
With the gun in position, il the con-
victs. OF whom there are some ve-y
desperate men, were to get up bic
rush, this weapon is capable OF ami
hilating all the men in the institu-
ton before anything serious could
happen to the guards.
The gun, while old as to years, has
lad very little use, and is as good as
when it first left the Colt factory
Should occasion arise, 1t Will certain
" make itself heard.
A guard house is to be built oveI
the gun. to shelter it and its operator
from the weather.

PROBE LOADING OF ARMS IN
NEW YORK FOR MEXICO

Washington, July 10:-Collector
Malone has been directed to ascer-
tain if 1t is true, as reported, that a
steamer is loading arms and ammu-
milton in New York to be delivered
at sea on board the steamer Atlanta.
The Atlanta, a Mexican steamship,
cleared from Baltimore last Sunday
for Progreso, Yucatan. A rumor
had been current that she was to
carry munitions and Felix Diaz ex-
pedition but a search by federal Off
cials had revealed nothing suspic-
ious.
Now the Department of Justice
has learned something which
prompted the instruction sent to
Collector Malone.
From New Orleans comes a report
that Felix Diaz, with a party of revo-
lutionaries, is at Miami, Fla, waiting
to be picked up, presumably by the
Atlanta. His followers in Louisiana
have been ordered to assemble next
week at Havana. They say they have
two gunboats somewhere.
A Havana despatch reports that
the little American steamer Alame-
da, supposed to have been purchased
by agents of Carranza, sailed from
that port today In ballast.

Williams, Sheridan and Chismar
were at first sentenced to serve thir-
ty days apiece in the county Jail,
but were later released with extend
ed warnings. They were Informed
that if caught here again, it would
go hard with them. Because of the
dangers caused by extensive freight
train riding at this time of the year,
the police will aid the railroad detec-
tives in bearing Watch-out for Of
tenders. The next to be arrested,
whether first offenders or not, will
be dealt with severely, according to
the authorities.

DECISION IN FAVOR
OF RULE ESTATE
Action Decided Against Mrs.
Glass, Who Wanted Her
Mothers Will Set Aside.
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

Special to the EVENING NEWS.
New Brunswick, July 10:-The
action brought by Mrs. Irene Glass
in an effort to upset the will of her
mother, Mrs. Margaret A. Rule, late
of South Brunswick township, has
been decided in favor of the estate
by Judge Peter F. DAILY. 1t involves
property to the estimated value of
$1,000. Immediately upon the reach
ing of the decision John P. Kirkpat-
rick, representing the estate, made
motion that Mrs. Glass be disin-
herited under the provisions of a
rule in the will, which provides that
in event one or more heirs shall con-
test the will they shall not benefit IN
any way by the estate. Judge DAILY
said he did not care to rule on that
point at this time, and the case was
continued to a later date.
During the rendition of testimony
in the case, George D. VanDerveer,
who drew Mrs. Rules will, declared
that the maker had frequently ex-
pressed her dislike for Arthur Glass,
the husband of the appellant. Upon
cross examination VanDerveer de-
clared that personally he did not
think much of either Mr.. or Mrs.
Glass, stating that they wanted their
share of the estate Immediately af-
ter the death OF Mrs. Rule.

KATzENBACH SAYS He is NOT
CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR

Special to the EVENING NEWS
Trenton July 10:-Formal an
nouncement was made today by for
mer Mayor Frank S. Katzenbach,
Jr., of this city, that he will not be
a candidate for governor next year
on the Democratic ticket. For some
time there has been talk of Mr.. Kat
zenbach as a candidate of his party
to head the state ticket in 1916, but
it was unauthorized by him. His
statement today that he has no in
tention whatever of seeking the gov
ernorship removes him from consid-
Grafton in connection with that Of
fee.
There has also been some talk of
Mr.. Katzenbach as a candidate for
United States senator, though in les
ser degree than for governor. His
statement on the senatorship is that
he has not given it any thought, and
the election is too far away to talk
about 1t now.

STEPS FOR EXPRESS
DELIVERY SERVICE
Other important Action Taken
by the Western Improve
ment Association Last Night.

Steps to procure express delivery
service in the northwestern section
of the city, to have the nuisance OF
harboring pigs abated, stop excessive
. speeding and careless driving of au-
tomobiles on Amboy avenue, and
have 6dmping conditions remedied
alongside OF the new park property
in the northern part of the city, were
taken at O. busy session of the West
Improvement Association last
night. The meeting was well at
tended and enthusiasm was dis
played. Plans were started and a
committee named for the holding OF
a clambake on August IA.
Members of the association held
that the time was at hand when e1-
press companies should make del1V-
cries all over the city. The subject
was taken up some time ago and
communications were sent to the
Adams and American express compa-
MES. A reply was received from one
OF the concerns, stating that 1t was
impossible to grant service into the
north western section at this time.
The association may, il forced to, ap-
peal to the Board of Public Utility
Commissioners.
The annual clambake Of the or
ganization will be held Saturday,
August IA, most likely in Union
Grove in upper Amboy avenue.
Plans will be made to hold the big
(gest event Of Its kind in the history
OF the association. Rasmus Hansen
is chairman of the committee in
charge. There are about eight others
on the committee.
Complaint was placed before the
association last night about the har-
boring OF numerous pigs. 1t was
stated at the same time that action
should be taken to remedy conditions
of the dump on property adjoining
the city's newly acquired park land.
Indications are that these subjects
will be taken before the Board OF
Health.
The speeding and reckless driving
of automobiles over Amboy avenue,
since the thoroughfare was paved
was held to be serious practice. The
association will make complaint to
the mayor and police In an effort to
have it stopped. Reports made tnd1-
Gated that the practice was commit
ted mostly on the stretch north OF
Hall avenue.

DYING AFTER FALL
PIunges from Second Story
Window at His Home in
RooseveIt-SkuIl Fractured.
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

Special to the EVENING NEWS.
Roosevelt, July 10.-Walking in
his sleep, Joseph Schultz. of "B''
street, Chrome, last night took what
may prove to be a fatal plunge from
an open window in the second story
of his home. He was subsequently
removed to the Perth Amboy City
Hospital, where little hope for his
recovery is entertained.
Schultz, who is of Hungarian
birth, and who is laborer in one of
the local plants, returned home from
is said to have gone directly to bed,
and rising at about 1870 o'clock he
walked to the window, which was
open because of the heat. While
asleep he Ieaped out of the window,
and landed ON a cement sidewalk
about twenty feet below.
The somnambulist's brother-in-law
George Medvez who resides In the
same house, heard the crash and he
Immediately rose and looked out OF
the window. He saw mans form
lying there and went out, being
greatly surprised to find 1t was that
Of his relative.
Medvez notified Police Officers
Wilhelm and Conley, who carried the
injured man into his home and later
notified DR.. Joseph Mark, of this bor-
ough. DR.. Mark, upon his arrival
examined the man and found that
he had a fractured skull and minor
scalp wounds, as well as one broken
toe. The physician stated that
chances for the mans recovery were
slim, and the victim wife sent for
Rev. Father M. ]. Haggerty, who
administered the last rites of the
Catholic church.
At the suggestion of DR.. Mark the
man was removed to the Perth Am
boy City Hospital, arriving at that
institution about o'clock. The
man, who is now being attended by
Dr.. F. c. Henry, is said to be wildly
delirious.
According to the friends of Schultz
he was not a confirmed sleep walker
