Sharp Legal Contest
In Insurance Trial

The case of Williams Manufactur-
ing Company VS.. the six insurance
companies, now on trial in Caledo-
MIA County court at st. Johnsbury,
attracts few spectators as it is large
ly contest between the lawyers who
have already asked for many excep-
tons. The witnesses Tuesday were
Albert Lyman, Nh. Hudson, Mr..
GleasC.,, MI Nichols, all workmen
al the time the East Haven mill was
built, and Miss Myrtle Underwood
Of the Crawford Ranney Agency
which issued the policies on the
property in tho spring Of 1906. The
workmen testified as to the progress
of the construction of the mill, par
tcularly at the time of the Are.
Miss Underwood was subjected to
a close examination to identify a
plan Of the East Haven mill that
was in a book of plans in the hand
writing of Mrs. Crawford Ranney
The witness stated that she believed
this plan was made in 1909 after the
fire, but upon having her testimony
read at the previous trial in which
she stated then she thought the map
was made when the first policy was
written she finally testified that she
believed the plan was placed in the
book when the first policies on the
plant were written. The admission
of much of her testimony as well as
admission Of the reports to the fire
insurance companies involved some
sharp controversies between Lawyers
Dunnett and Redmond.
The witnesses Wednesday morn
ing besides Miss Underwood were
Judge Harland B. Howe, John I.
Richie and Mr. Milholland.
Judge Howe explained his rela-
tions to the plaintiff corporation, be-
ing their attorney when the case first

tcrsst the bank had in the insurance
policies as the bank held a mortgage
or the East Haven property. Mr..

THE GREAT GAMBLE
18th EPISODE
"Out Of the Shadows"

Ralph is hanging in mid-air at the
end of the broken drain pipe, by
means of which he had hoped 10 es-
cape from the detective who had
pursued him for a crime which he
did not commit-the murder of his
friend, Harding, who has been killed
by Blake. Slowly the pipe on which
Ralph IS hanging, gives way. 1t
says, and there seems to be no way
for Ralph to escape a hideous death.
As the end of the pipe falls, Ralph
grabs that portion of the pipe that is
intact and climbs down, not to free
dom, for the detective captures him.
Aline, accused Of having killed her
father by giving him an overdose Of
a powerful me1icine, contrary to the
physicians directions, has been i'm
prisoned.
Nell, who unknown 20 either girl is
Aline's twin sister, Is waiting at
roadhouse to meet Blake. In an adj
joining room, Cooley and Shorty,
Blake's accomplices, are discussing
what they regard as the unfortunate
end of their scheme. Nell learns from
their conversation that she is Nor
tons daughter and the twin sister of
Aline.
Nell realizes the horror Of the sit
uation and forgets all, in her re-
solve to secure the acqutal of her
sister, and Ralph Darrell.
Disgusting her feelings, she enters
the other room, prefer ling to have
just arrived, and sends Cooley and
Shorty to meet Blake who is expect
cd to arrive at suburban station.
They leave and Nell goes to the telc
phone.
An hour later, Blake arrives, ac-
companied by his accomplices Cooley
and Shorty. Nell compels Blake to
admit that he had killed Harding for
whose death Ralph Darrell was being
held on the charge Of murder; that
he had instructed Cooley to secure
the death of Morton in a way that
would not throw suspicion on the vii
lain responsible for the crime; that
Blake's object in abducting Aline and
sending Nell to pose in her place was
To secure the Morton fortune after
they had brought about the death
of Morton.
Blake admits ali this very coolly,
and then suggests that Nell divide
with them the contents Of her satchel
which she has informed them con-
tanned Jewels that she had stolen
in the Morton home. Nell tells Blake
that she will divide with him and the
others, when he divides with her the
bonds stolen from Harding, the night
Blake killed him. Blake now admits
lie killed Harding, and gives Nell
share of the bonds. She goes to her
satchel, says: "Now | will give you
fellows what is coming to you" She
opens the satchel, end pulls out two
revolvers which she points at the as
tcnished crooks. Blake tries 10 blur
Nell and is about to draw a pistol,
when the folding doors open and sew
cral policemen enter. The captain
SAYS: ave have heard everything you
fellows confessed" Blake again tries
to bluff, but when a photograph is
removed from the table, he realizes
that the game is lost TO him. The
notice are about TO handcuif him
when Blake dashes to the window
and jumps through, just as one Of
the policemen shoot Blake falls to
the ground dead.

Winston Easily
Beats RusIlnOre
In Squash Match

r~ic S. Winston, three time national
squash tennis chan. pion, showed rare
form in as.ly vanquishing George NJ
Rushmore in q semi-hnal round match
of the Haryard Club champions hip
tourney yesterday. Winston Won after
three quick games by score Of lS>~~-Y.
l5--6, I'D.
His spectacular "gets" and his abil-
ity to solve every shot attempted by
his rival made Winston invincible. He
kept the ball sailing around the court
at e low angle, and Rushmore had great
difficulty returning the shots. Winston
showed his old time consistency in col
!ccting points in clusters, four times
stalking up five aces in one hand
Winston will meet Fillmore Van S.
Hyde in the final round match for the
club title next Tuesday afternoon. In
cidentally, the struggle will decide the
owner of the championship cup, as each
player ,has.two "leEssa.s,.osn.athe prize. In
their last meeting, vi "19l7-neitlier
man has played since then-Hyde
downed Winston in an endurance test
that required one and half hours of
play.
Bob Cahill and John Jacobs, assist
ants to the pros at the Squash and
Harvard clubs, respectively, will play
a special match on the Crimson courts
this afternoon at 3 o'clock.

Special Correspondence to The Tribune

Special Correspondence to The Tribune
NEW HAVEN, Conn, March 19.-En-
tries from ten colleges have been re-
ceived by President Chamberlain of
the Yale Swimming Association for the
intercollegiate meet, which will be held
in the Carnegie pool here tomorrow
night to decide the individual SWIM
ming championships.
Aside from the five regular members
of the intercollegiate Association,
Princeton, Pennsylvania. Columbia,
College of the City of New York and
Yale, the mermen of Harvard, Amherst,
Wesleyan, Rutgers and Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, will compete.
Harvard has not developed swimming
as have the other large Eastern uni
versities, but it pluckily sent a team
to Yale on Wednesday for the first
meet known with the Eli's in years,
and hope is now felt that the Crimso
will enter the association another
year.
Yale's swimming team contains more
record breakers than ever before and
1t is likely to capture most of the
events. The feat of the relay team
lowering the 200-yard record on
Wednesday to 1 minute, 80 As Sec
onds, clipping second off the record
was the most brilliant achievement of
the season.
The four entries, Captains, Hincks
Thurston, Binney and Solley, were com
PEELED to swim their fifty yards in less
than 70 seconds each to achieve the
<1o, 4L
collegiate record for fifty yards when
the season opened, the record is likely
to stand as the worlds figures for
some time.

St. Louis Soccer Team
Plan Another Invasion

A team of selected St. Louis soccer
players will tour Scandinavia, Finland,
and possibly the Central States and
Holland. A cablegram was received
last week by Secretary Cahill of the
United States Football Association
from the Swedish Football Association
which presaged the arrival of the for
NAL invitation. The Swedish Football
Association is arranging the schedule
for this the third American soccer in
vasion Of Europe in five years.
Correspondence has been carried on
between Johanson and Cahill since the
latter's return from the second Ameri-
can soccer invasion of Scandinavia last
summer, the exchange of cablegrams
being merely the elimination of plans
fomented even while Cahill was in Swe-
den last year with the Bethlehem Steel

Special Dispatch to The Tribune

Special Dispatch TO The Tribune
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, March 19.-
With every regular member of the
team physically fit and ready for q
long and hard campaign the Giants
terminated their spring training sea-
son at League Park here to-day. Man
ager McGraw put his athletes through
a light workout in the morning and
then told them that they were through
for the day.
Late tonight twenty regulars, ac-
companied by Manager McGraw and
Christy Mathewson, now coach Of the
team, embarked upon "rattler" for
Fort Worth, Tex, where the first shot
| in the long series of exhibition games
with the Ruth-lGs Red Sox will be
fired.
.McGraw has not announced his
pitching selection, but Arthur Nehf
and Rube Benton, the two sQuthpaws,
are picked to oppose the American
Leaguers.
The training season which came to
an an end to-day was the best that the
Giants have ever INDUCED in. In
nearly three weeks Of practice they
only lost single day, the first Sunday,
when the cold wave which was sweep
ing over the country arrived in San
Antonio. Even though it was only
three points above the freezing point,
McGraw had his players on the field
for twenty minutes.
The little manager is highly pleased
with conditions. here, and it is whis-
pered that the Giants will again do
thcr preliminary training in this town
next year. The playing field at League
Park is one of the best among the
minor league cities, and under a warm
sun it did not take the veterans long
to eliminate the kinks from their
muscles.
Barnes, Toney, Douglas, Nehf and
Benton, McGraw's big five, are fit and
| ready, and the Red Sox will find it
mighty hard to make base hits during
the coming series. The Giants are con-
fident of winning the majority of the
games from Barrow's men. Last year,
1t will be remembered, the American
Leaguers kind of showed up McGraw's
athletes by winning four out of six
games. 1t will also be remembered that
Babe Ruth's smashing, crashing and
home run making bat aided the Red
Sox in winning these four games. Take
away Ruth from any team and it loses
its punch.
Manager McGraw will leave sixteen
of his recruits here in charge of Mike
| Gonzales, the Cuban catcher. These
players will rejoin the club in this city
when the Giants and Red Sox come back
here for their exhibition game next
Wednesday.
The players leaving tonight are:
George Burns, Ross Young, Benny
Kauff, Arnold Statz, George Kelly,
Larry Doyle, Arthur Fletcher, Frank
Frisch, Eddie Sticking, Earl Smith, Lew
McCarty, Frank Snyder, Jesse Winters,
Bill Ryan, Wilbur Hubbell and the
five pitchers mentioned above.
