Provided for Dual Deaths
Documents Intimated That Both
Might Die at Same
Time

The wills of the Misses Gladys
Louise Hustled Cromwell and Dorothea
Katherine Cromwell, Red Cross work
ers in France, who died together at sea
last month, when they jumped from
the steamship La Lorraine, were filed
yesterday in the Surrogates' Court. The
documents, dated January 2, 1918, are
in all respects identica. and contain
this prophetic provision: "If my said
sister and myself die in or as thee re-
suit of any common disaster or catas-
trophe, whether simultaneously or
otherwise, then and in that event l
give and bequeath the following arti-
cles now owned by my sister and my
self jointly to the following persons
Otherwise the surviving sister was the
sole beneficiary.
Seymour Legrand Cromwell, of 1863
East Seventy-fourth Street, brother, is
the executor of both wills and the ben
efciaries are the same.
There are four $4,000 bequests to
members of the family and another of
similar amount to Anne Dunn, of 124
East Twenty-fourth Street, who also
receives a life interest in a $4,000
trust fund. Jean Ruggles, of 215 East

Worse Would Profit if
Bill Is Passed, Albany
LEGISLATORS Are Informed
New York Tribune
Staff CoryespOndence

ALBANY, March 4.-Charges that
gamblers, grafters and keepers of dis
orderly houses would benefit by the
bills placing control of the magis-
trates' courts and the Court of Special
Sessions in the hands of Mayor Hylan
were made at the hearing to-day on
the proposed legislation.
Mayor Hylan, who is credited with
having inspired the bills, came in for
al-round denunciation by the speak
ers. Ezra Prentice, as the first speak
er. said:
"The bills place the so-called poor
mans courts in politics. 1t would give
a mayor complete control over them.
These bills would make for return to
the old conditions when magistrates
were assigned to courts because of
their political acquaintances, and when
any magistrate could issue warrants
for disorderly houses and gambling re-
sorts, with the result that they were
frequently tipped off. If these bills
become law, somebody in New York
City is going to make q little money"
Chief Magistrate William McAdoo
and Chief Justice Frederick Kernochan
of the Special Sessions Court, were
on hand.
"The birds of prey and the powers
of darkness that attempt to control the
magistrates courts in New York City
will never get an anchorage while
am chief magistrate unless the Legis-
lature Of this state wants them to-

ALBANY, March a 4.-William Randolph
Hearst is trying to capture the state
committee to welcome returning sol
diers The arst-Hylan committee of
welcome has offered the use of train
to carry the committee from Albany to
New York and the use of reviewing
stand. The offer was made to Governor
Smith and Thaddeus c. Sweet, Speaker
of the Assembly. while at the New York
City Hall Saturday,
Those who fought for creation of the
designed to supplant the Hearst-H ylan
committee, learned with surprise to-
day that the offer was not spurned.
Governor Smith had returned to New
York when the plans of the Hearst
Hylan committee to capture the State
Committee became known.
All that Speaker Sweet would say
was that the offer "had not been Of
fcially accepted yet"
1t was recalled to-day that when
Hearst tried last year to get all in
dorsement of his Americanism from
Congress by inviting its members to
journey from Washington to New York
at his expense to review with him a
patriotic parade on July only one
New York City Congressman accepted
When the committee was created as
the result of protests of patriotic citi-
zens who were indignant because of the
presence of Hearst on the New York
City committee, Speaker Sweet ex-
planned that no appropriation had been
provided because he believed the mem
bers gladly would pay their own ex-

Mcclure Divorce Suit
Names Restaurant Man
Editor Admits, However, That
He Kissed Maid; Jury to
Decide Case To-day

A jury in the Supreme Court will
to- day decide whether Henry II. Nc
Clurc, an editor, is entitled to a di-
vorce from Mrs. Frances l.. Mcclure,
who, her husband alleges, was too
friendly with Neil r. Whyte, who aids
in the management of n restaurant
owned by his family. Mr.. Whytc tes-
tilted yesterday, denying the charges
duplicating him with Mrs Mcclure.
He said the testimony against him
was pcrjured and was an attempt to
get money from him.
Mrs. Mcclure denied allegations by
her husband and added she had dis
covered grounds for an action for
divorce which involved Mr.. Mcclure
with maid in their home, but that
she refraincd from suing because
of her affection for Mr.. McClure's
mother.
Stephen c. Baldwin, an attorney,
was a witness for Mrs. Mcclure. In
der cross-cxamination he said his
friendship for Mrs Mcclure was en-
tirely platonic, even after the intro
duction of three photographs of him
self and the defendant on the beach
at Montauk Point. Mr.. Mcclure ad-
mitted he had kissed maid. Ger
trude Peterson, another maid, testified
she had served breakfast to Mrs. Nc
Clure and Mr. Whytc.

b. r. T. Patrons
Barred as Jurors
At Wreck Trial
Also Counsel for Defence
Indicate by Questions
That They Will Lay Blame
on Man Who Ran Train
staff Correspondence

staff Correspondence
MINEOLA, L. l., March 4.-Exhaus-
tion of the original jury panel brought
the second days session of the B. r.
T. trial here to an abrupt close this
afternoon. Seven jurors had been
tentatively accepted up to that time,
the defence being particularly swift to
eliminate men who admitted travelling
over the B. R. I. system.
A second panel of thirty-six has
been summoned for tomorrow, when
1t is expected that an active start
can be made on the case of Thomas
F. Blewitt, southern division superin-
tcndent of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
Company, upon whose division the
MalbOne Street tunnel wreck occurred
last November.
Some talesmen were kept on the
stand almost an hour, while their
entire attitude toward labor unions
traction companies. and the relative
responsibility Of officials and employees
was exhaustively searched.
These questionings indicated that
the defence plans to place full blame
for the accident that cost ninety-two
lives upon Edward Luciano, the train
dispatcher who acted as motorman
of the wrecked train.
"Would you acquit the defendants
if it were shown that they did not
personally know that this man was in
competent" the defendant attorneys
asked each prospective juror. Any
juror who seemed to entertain doubt
on this point was challenged.
District Attorney Harry E. Lewis, in
charge of the prosecution, was equally
alert in eliminating possible bond
holders or friends OF traction officials
One man who described himself rs &
"tennis instructor" and said he had
been employed for seventeen years by
George Gould, was challenged almost
as soon as he had taken his seat
The men thus for retained as jurors
are Charles C. Boyd, plumber, of
Westbury; George H. Cornwall, con
tractor, Hicksvillc; Edward f. Verify
automobile mechanic, of Seaford; Jo-
siah Dow retired blacksmith, of Glen
Head; Edward V. Dibble, farmer, OF
Lynbrook; James T. Gould, retired po-
liceman, of Merrick, and Carl B
Sparks, farmer of Central Park.
The prosecution has eleven peremp-
tory challenges still left; the defence
twelve.
