The contested will of Margaret McCoy

the rnw.it of Margaret McCaffrey, a.
dauKhli-i. Mnorcd In the will.
Mi-. Mifoy died In Sf, Mary's Hospital
Jammr r. l?l'l. alio directed in the will,
exd rted Novi mher 2t, WIS. that Iter W

The r! u . In the will t'lat Impi-lted
Mar-rue t McCaffrey, the daushter, to
fllo tin- invent reads: "It Is my deIre
that mv ether shlldren 'lall not receive
nnv portion of mv estate, tnmely, Mary
Kelly. Marparet McCafficy and Thomas
McCoy, on account of their disrespectful
nnd unfrVndly treatment of me. for t
do not consider that their conduct has
entltltd them to any consideration of re
mem'nance from me In this, my last U11
and testament."
The c.wi-at tiled by the daiiuhter was
on the ground thnt her mother did not
posses snlllclent testamentary capacity
to dispose of her effects and that undue
Influence had been everted upon her
mother by the legatees named In the
document.
Hep ster of Wills Sheehan in ndmlttlnir
the will to probate states thnt evidence
submitted In numerous hearings failed
to sustain the allegations.

DETECTIVE KILLS MAN IN
FIGHT ON FREIGHT CAR
i
Desperate Encounter Between Gang '
and Railway Police on Train. I
RKADINIt. Pa.. Sept. 26 -A thrilling
fight between a gang of six men on one
tdde and four detectives on the other took
place early today unon the top of a
rapidly moving Philadelphia and Reading
freight train. The members of tho gang
attacked the detectives and both sides
began firing revolvers.
Detective Mackert engaged one of tho
gangsters In a wrestling combat on top
of a swaying boxcar. A lur h of the car
thrcv.- them apart and Mackert drew his i
revolver and fired, killing his man. The
dead man rolled from tho train. In the
dead man's pockets was found JlOvO in
counterfeit JUG bills.
"Going, golng.'gone." These words nnd
the bang of the Sheriff's hammer
sounded the death knell today of one of
the landmarks that has tnnde tho port
of Philadelphia Internationally famous.
The words marked the passing of the
shipbuilding plant established more than
40 years ago by John Hoach at Chester.
It was sold at n Sheriff's sale at 10
o'clock this morning.
Joseph H. Hlnkson and Klngsley Mont
gotnory. attorneys for the Cambridge
Trust Company, purchased the property
for oh The trust compan Is trustee
of a l-ond Issue of H50 000 Issued to cover
n moitgnge of $10-1.305.
The sale marked the fifth financial re
verse the plant, consisting of 20 acres
of land, shlpwnys, machinery and other
equipment, has had since Its Inaugura
tion In 1S72 Hut It Is believed that this
famous old shipyard will never ngnln

FINANCIAL VICISSITUDES.
John Coach, founder of the company,
opened the Way for this country to build
warships unsurpassed by any other na
tion anil blazed the trail for the estab

Industry. His financial vicissitudes arc
history. His plant went Into the hands
of n receiver upon four occasions, but
always managed to struggle back to a
paying basis. Hcforc Hoach took over
the plunt It was known ns the Rnlner
shipyard. After lloach's death his son,
John H. P.oach, operated the shipyard.
It later became the Delaware Illvcr Iron
Ship and Engine Huildlng Company, and
us such failed four years ago.

Transportation Company's service. The
Harvard and Yale, Long Island Sound
steamships, and the American and Ha
waiian, plcneer vessels of the American
Hawaiian l.lnc, wero also built upon the
shlpways sold by the Sheriff today. Tho
City of Savannah, constructed for the
Ocean Steamship Company, completed
seven years n;o, was tho Inst blB steam
ship to use these ways,
ShlppInK men recall the days when
aa many as 10 vessels under construc
tion at one time were to be seen nt
rtonch's. The work done at the nlant
did much to earn the appellation of the
"Clyde of America" for the Delaware
Itlver. A famous old clipper ship, the
Tllllo E. Slarbuck. was one of the first
vessels ever built at theso yards.
DirtTH or Nnw navy.
The fame of rtonch's shipyard Is as
closely aligned with the Krowth of our
navy as It Is with the history of the
merchant marine. Somo of t'nele Sam's
first Iron ships were turned out by John
tloach. The gunboats Alert, Huron
Chicago, Atlanta, ltcnnltiRton, Hoston,
Concord nnd Turltan were completed
under his direction.
In ISM the Secretary of the Xavy called
for bids on four vessels, the At'anta,
Hoston, Chicago and Dolphin. Itonch whs
ono of the bidders. He then owned In ml
dltlon to the shlpynid, tho .Morgan Iron
Works nnd a steel making plant nt Thur
low, lust above Chester, Hl bid amazed
other shipbuilders and the Navy Depart
ment. It was t3!.',000 helow the next low
est bidder nnd 1771,100 below tho estimate
of the AdvlBory Honrd. ltnnch had
lound, by experiments, he could produce
steel of required nunltty at a price lower
than his competitors could.
I'olltlrs played mi Important part In
tho fulfilment of these contrncU and
when the Government rejected tho Dol
phin upon completion the heart of John
Roach was broken nnd he died n few
years later. Hn had labored sincerely
and earnestly to make the ship an honor
to his name. The proof thnt he did so
Is shown In the fact that the Dolphin,
which was Inter accepted. I doing ncllve
work In the navy todny. when other crnft
built Inter have passed Into oblivion.

JOY-RIDING PRISONERS MUST
REVERT TO COMMON PATROL
Pleasurable Rldo to Lock-up Blamed
for Avalanche of Offenders.
Joy riding among tho regular week
end hoarders nt the Germantown police
station enmo to' an end today, Disturbers
of the peace will no longer bo taken to
tho lock-up In the Intest Improved, tour
ing car. Beginning Monday they will
have to bo content to go In an ordinary
patrol.
When tho ofTlclnl wagon was put out
of business severnl weeks ago by nn ac
cident, Fire Marshal William Coupe, who
Is an ardent Germantown citizen, Imme
diately offercd his automobile. Those
who are In a habit of coming to tho
police station every Saturday Immediately
spread tho news, nnd very soon the po
lice had mote petty offenders than ever.
It wns noticeable, too, that the driver
took tho riders to tho station houso In
a roundnbout way.
Incidentally, Magistrate Pennock. who
conducts tho hearings In Germantown,
found that the cases havo Increased
throcfnld since tho auto began serving
as a patrol, whllo tho charges wero so
Blight that three-fourths of tho prison
ers were discharged. In fact, things
reached such a stage thnt the approach
of tho touring enr very oftn was the
signal for nn Impromptu light In the
street. When tho fighters were gnthorod
In they simply chuckled nnd would lean
back like millionaires.
That's why the police believe that the
arrival of the regular wagon will work
a reform In Germantown.
