MATANSAS, Cuba, June 16. - The
visionary plan Of French scientist of
harnessing the Gulf Stream and con-
verting its warmth into energy suffi-
cient to turn the wheels of industry
yesterday was declared nearing the
stage of a practical demonstration.
After years Of costly experiments,
Prof. George Claude said he has COM
pleted a tube 1,700 yards long which
he soon will lower into the sea to serve
as a pipe line from the Gulf Stream
to a power plant he has erected at his
laboratory along the Gulf shore here.
His theory is that the Gulf Stream
waters, being subjected to vacuum, will
rise to the boiling point and produce
steam sufficient to turn great turbines
for generating electric power.
The tube will rest in a channel on
the bottom Of the sea, A year ago ht

Figures made public today at the
office of public buildings and public
parks show that 1,8l5 park permits were
issued during the month of May, the
highest number so far recorded for any

Mrs. Mary Kingsbury Forto, q
devoted lifelong Catholic who died
here recently, has left an estate
estimated at around SAC, 900 10 the
church through Father Jean B.
Frigon.
The will is expected to be prob

papers asking the appointment Of
a temporary administrator were
placed in the hands of the county
clerk by Mrs. j. d. Brannon. These
papers will likely be acted upon
Saturday.
Outside Of remembering q few
close friends and servants, Mrs.
Forto willed the entirety Of her
property to Father Frigon to be
used in the education Of young
Catholics for the priesthood. The
will insists. however. that the father
keep $50 per month for his private
use and charity.
Roman Adrian. an old employe
Of the family, was given SIC a month
until his death by the will drawn
by Mrs. Forto Mar. !, 1928. The
Sacred Heart church was given

debt. Mrs. Forto asked that masses
be held for the repose Of her soul
and that Of Emilio Forto.

JURYLOCKED
ON WILL CASE
Sixteen Hours Pondering OF
Testimony Brings Only
Silence

After sixteen hours OF delibera-
ton, no indication that a verdict
was in sight drifted from the jury
in the contested Mary z. Blackerby
will suit at noon Friday.
The case was gwen the Jury 9
p. m. Thursday following brilliant
closing argument by Volney Taylor
for the proponents and Thomas
Blanton, ~ex-solon,- for the contest
ants.
The general opinion Of court
attaches was that the jury was
nowhere near accord.
The contestants allege that Mary
Z. Blackerby was OF unsound mind
IN 1921 when a will was made
awarding her property, now worth
some $50 900, to the proponents, Jess
Williams and Hettie Armstrong
Williams. The contestants, eleven
in all, are relatives OF the dead
woman who would have received
her property had no will been made.
signature Questioned
A sharp turn in the case came
when Blanton alleged that Mary
Z. BLACKBERRY could not write and
consequently could not have sign
ed the will in question. The pro-
ronents have not produced one
witness who ever saw Aunt Mary
write a line" Blanton shouted to
the jury.
Here Taylor interrupted. and
Blanton protested against the in
terruption. Taylor challenged the
statement. mentioning specifically
one witness whom he said testified
to having seen the woman sign the
will.
VOluminous Testimony
Blanton produced a long line Of
witnesses who asserted they did
not believe Mary Z. Blackberry was
Of sound mind at the time the will
was made. The proponents pro-
duced witnesses who testified just
exactly the opposite.
This was one Of the most volum-
nous cases ever tried in Cameron
county. Witnesses and dispositions
from West Texas. East Texas,
Oklahoma and Arkansas were pro-
duced by both sides.
