LADY MACKWORTR Relates
HER FIGHT TO escape death

Cork, May 10.-Lady Mackworth,
daughter of d. \. Thomas, the Welsh
coal magnate, declared in an interview
that when she returned from her cabin
with a life belt the deck was inclined
at a fearful angle, making it impos-
sible to get about. She still was on
deck when the vessel sank and was
drawn down with it, but came TO the
surface and seized board which was
floating past.
She offered a corner of her frail sup
port to man who was struggling in
the water but soon he relinquished his
hold Lady Mackworth said she began
to feel the effects of her immersion
and must have lost consciousness, for
the next she remembered she was float
ing with a deck chair under her. After
another long interval she again be-
came unconscious and has no idea how
she got aboard the trawler Bluebell
which brought here to Queenstown.
Lady Mackworth said that while
there certainly was some confusion
aboard the Lusitana, she thought the
officers and crew acted very bravely,
but was unable to understand why
they kept shouting there was no need
for haste as the ship would not sink,
when it obviously was impossible for
it to keep aioat many more minutes.

RAlLROADERS MAY RUN TRUCK
Brotherhoods Plan Cooperative Jitney
Servic to Rutherford

4 number of members of the trans
portation brotherhoods and employees
of the Philadelphia and Reading Rail
ways Company, are now planning to
run cooperative jitney service be-
tween Harrisburg and Rutherford. The
plan is to purchase motor truck and
fit it for passenger travel, between
midnight and dawn. Each stakeholder
would ride out his share in the truck
after which regular fares would be
charged and the dividends divided
among the stockholders.
For a number of years the men who
work in the Rutherford yards have
tried to secure transportation after
midnight, but railway company oflic
ias say this would be too expensive
The number of men interested in the
scheme is said to be large and should
the move go through a retired or fur
loughed employe will be used as chauf
feur. All men not members of the
brotherhood will be allowed to ride at
regular fare, provided they can be ac-
commodated without inconvenience to
members.

WOMEN SURVIVORS, Stories
OF THE WRECK OF LUSI7ANIA

Dublin, May 9.-Mrs. C. Murray of
New York, survivor of the Lusitania,
who arrived here to-day, said that she
and her brother dived from the steamer
when it sank, both being good swim
mers. They lost each other after the
boat went down, but met later in a
shop in Queenstown.
Explaining how so many passengers
were lost, Mrs. Murray said that the
second sitting of the luncheon was in
progress when the first torpedo struck.
The people could not believe there was
any danger. Though some of them put
on life belts, a majority of them re-
NAMED in the saloon until it was too
late to make their escape. Others were
in the cabins packing their baggage
when the end came.
Mrs. R. Hill, of New York, said that
after the second explosion mass of
wreekage came crashing on deck,
crushing crowd of men, women and
children. The work of extricating these
people from the debris was in progress
when the women and children were
called to enter the boats.
Soon after the Lusitania sank, Mrs.
Hill added the submarine came to the
surface, the German flag was run up
and the vessel remained above water
for ten minutes

Conserving the Joy of Life.

The most hopeful feature of the de.
velopment of new attitude toward
youth is the willingness to conserve
the spirit of the joy of life-the great
gift which youth has to offer to life.
TO youth has been given this great joy
of life, and it is the right of the indi.
vidual to carry It's spirit on into age,
making it fuller and deeper as the
years roll on. The new movement is
asserting the right of youth TO its joy,
recognizing that this is the creative
force which will raise life from a duh
level. 1t means less of the disenchant.

glow of life, cultivating an ever deep.
ening optimism, so admirably express
ed by those simple lines of Browning:
Grow old along with me,
For the best is yet to be.

Z. }. Mahoney, of Steelton, owner of
one of these houses, is plaintiff and is
asking to be compensated both for

time the dwelling was out of repair and
could not be rented

while they could have been penalized
because of the 'tardy payment of the
assessment. the company coud not arbi-

SON Asks COURT TO SET
ASIDE Will OF LUKENS
Alleges He Has Subsequent Docu-
ment Which He Seeks to Have
Substituted For Instrument Al
ready Probated

Proceedings to set aside the will
drawn by the late Andrew Nelson
Lukens, of Harrisburg, on April 20,
1907, and the codicil thereto bearing
date of August IL. 1914, both of
to probate by Register of Wills Roy
G. Danner, were begun in the Dauphin
county courts this morning by Frank
5. Lukens, son of the dead man.
Frank S. Lukens claims to have found
more recent will and one which re-
vokes the probated instrument. The
elder Lukens, who was the oldest re-
tired mail carrier in the city, died on
April 80 in his 10Th year.
Judge Kunkel made an order citing
the Register of Wills into court and
requiring him to show whether or not
the will he has probated actually is
the one which Mr.. Lukens wrote last.
Appeal to the court was necessary. it
was pointed out by Michal E. Stroup,
representing the son, in view of the
fact that a Register. of Wills is with
out legal authority to upset his own
decision after once admitting will
to probate.
The will which the register now is
asked to probate in lieu of the one ad-
mitted week ago, makes the son,
Frank, the executor and sole benefi-
ciary of the estate. 1t bears date of
April 8, 1915, three weeks before the
elder Lukens died, and contains the
names of Alderman A. NJ. Lands. of
the sixth ward. and II. Schampan, a
local merchant, as witnesses.
To the Harrisburg Trust Company
were granted letters testamentary on
the Lukens estate under the probated
will. The will and codicil as probated
give $500 to Annie Sherlock, a sister
of the dead man, and the remainder OF
the estate is to be held in trust and
the interest therefrom to be paid 10
the son.
After the son s death the income is
to be paid to the fathers surviving
brothers and sisters, if any are then
living. Should none survive the son
then the money is to be divided be
tween the Home for the Friendless and
the Children S Industrial Home.
The will also specifies that 500 be
paid to the Harrisburg Cemetery As.
sociation. Religious books 90 to the
Ridge Avenue NJ. f. church, and other
books to the Harrisburg Public III
brary. The court did not fix time for
the register TO make answer. y

Continued From First Page.
man War Office announced on Satur-
day.
Except for the assertion that small
amount of territory near st. George s
was won yesterday, the official French
statement indicated no changes along
the western front. The German attacks
in Belgium were said to have been re-
pulsed.
An aerial raid within forty miles of
London was made early to-day. Various
conflicting reports were received from
the Essex coast, one of which said seri-
Gus damage to property and some loss
of life had been caused by bombs
dropped by the raiders. 1t was reported
also that four zeppelins took part in the
raid. Another dispatch, however, said
that while several air craft took part,
it had not been established whether
they were Zeppelin or aeroplanes. The
towns of South End, Westcliff -on-S Sea
and Leigh appear to have been at
tackled.
The italian government is now ex-
pected to reach shortly its decision for
or against war. In this connection Rome
regards as of significance the visit to
the capital of Signor Giolitti, former
Premier and a member of the neutral
ist group. 1t is reported in Rome that
if Italy decides to enter the war she
will 90 so by declaring war on Turkey.
The situation in Flanders and the
Carpathians, where the critical battles
of the present phase of the war are be-
ing fought, is still obscure. On the west
ern front both the Germans and their
opponents claim considerable gains In
the Carpathians similar situation ex.
lists; for though the Russians admit re.
verses at the hands of the Austrians
and Germans they concede no such seri
Gus defeats as are indicated by the
statements from Berlin and Vienna, and
assert that the .Teutonic allies are now
being checked.

''The sinking of the Lusitania is a

Maxine a Chanueless Ink.

In shops where 1t is damp or chemi
cal fumes are present it is usually diff
cult to cause labels to stick to bottles
or cans. An ink for use on such con.
tainers is made as follows: Shellac, q
grams; dissolve it in hot solution OF
borax containing 80 gra ms of borax to
400 cubic centimeters of water; filtei
while hot and add solution made OF
aniline black, S grams; tannin. Oh
