DAUGHTER LOSES
FIGHT TO BREAK
MRS. MOTS WILL
Mother Cuts Off Three of
Five Children From $6000
Estate for Alleged Disre
spectful Treatment.
The contested wilt of Margaret McCoy
"was admitted to probata today by Itefi
later of Wllla Sheehan. who dismissed
the caveat of Margaret McCaffrey, a
daughter, Ignored In the will.
Mrs. McCoy died In St. Mary's Hospital
January 5. 1913. She directed In the will,
executed November :T, 191!. that her JW0O
estate he held In trust for her two
children, James J. and Catherine McCoy,
and after their death to revert to Pt.
Mary's Hospital and St. Augustine's
Church, Fourth and S'ew streets.
The clause In the will that Impelled
3targaret McCaffrey, the daughter, to
fllo the caveat render "It Is my desire
that my other shlldren shall not leeelve
any portion of my estate, namely, Mary
Kelly, Margaret McCaffrey and Thomas
McCoy, on necount of their disrespectful
nnd unfriendly treatment of me, for 1
do not consider that their conduct has
entitled them to any consideration of re
membrance from me In this, m last will
and testament."
The caveat tiled by the daughter was
on the ground that her mother did not
possc-sraufllclent testamentary capacity
to dlatfGSo of her effects and that undue
Influence had been exerted upon her
mother by the legatees named In the
document.
Keglster of Wills Sheehan in admitting
the will to probate states that cidcnce
submitted In numerous hearings failed
to sustain the allegations.

will of Elizabeth B. Hepburn, wife of
W. Horaco Hepburn, attorney-at-law. to

Desperate Encounter Between Gang

READING, Pa., Sept. K A thnllinr;
flp-ht between a sanK of six men on on
side and four detectives on the other tool:
place early today unon the top of a
rapidly moving Philadelphia and Roadlnpr
freight train. The members of tho pan?
attacked the detectives and both sides,
bef-an flrlnr revolvers.
Detective Mackert en-raged one of tho
g-anfrstcTs In a -vrestlir.-: corrtbat on top
of a. straying boxcar. A ltirvh of the car
threv- them apart and JIackert drew his
revolver and tired, killing his man. The
dead man rolled from the train. In th
dead man's pockets wa3 found J1K0 in
counterfeit l"0 bills.
"Golnc going, gone " These words nnd
the bang of the Sheriff's hammer
sounded the death knell today of one of
the landmarks that has made the port
of Philadelphia Internationally famous.
The words maiked tho passing of tho
shipbuilding plant established more than
4i) years ago by John Itoach at Chester.
It was sold nt a Sheriff's sale nt 10
o'clock this morning.
Joseph II. lllnkson and Klngsley Mont
gomery, attorneys for the Cambridge
Trust Company, purchased the property
for Joftin. The trust company Is trustee
of n bond Issue of $150 K Issued to cover
a moitgiiBo of $101,333.
Tho sale marked the fifth financial re
verse the plant, consisting of 20 acres
nf lnnd, shlpwns, mnchlnery and other
equipment, has had since Its Inaugura
tion In 1S72 nut It la believed that this
famous old shlp.ard wilt never ogaln
"como back" as It has done previously.
FINANCIAL VICISSITUDES.
John Itoach, founder of the company,
opened the way for this country to build
warships unsurpassed by any other na
tion nnd blazed tho trait for the estab

Industry, llh financial vicissitudes are
history, tlli plant went Into tho hands
of a lecelvcr upon four occasions, but
always managed to struggle back to a
pa-lag busts, IJcforo Jlonch took over
the plant It was known as the ltaincr
blilp'nrd. After Roach's death his son,
John H. Roach, operated tho shipyard.
It later became the Delaware River Iron
Snip and Engine Ruildlng Company, and
as iuch failed four years ago.
HUNDREDS OF IRON SHIPS.
One hundred and fourteen it on vessels
were constructed under the Roach man
agement. Nearly "00 wctc completed later.
Among them were cssels which proudly
fly the American flag today. Many of
the Ward Line vessels were built there,
as were a number of steamships for

Lexington were built for the latter conu
Pftti. They how ply to an.d irom "this
port in the Merchants and Miners'
Transportation Company's service. The
Harvard and Tale, Long; Island Sound
steamships, and the American and Ha
waiian, pioneer vessels of the American
Hawaiian' Line, were also built upon the
shlpways sold by the Sheriff today. The
City of Savannah, constructed for the
Ocean Steamship Company, completed
seven years ago, was the last big steam
ship to use these wavs.
Shipping men recall the days when
as many as 10 vessels under construc
tion at one time were to be seen at
llonch's. The work done at the nlanl
did much to earn the appellation of the
"Clyde of America" for the Delaware
Klver. A famous old clipper ship, the
Tlllle B. Starbuck, was one of the first
vessels ever built at these yards.
BlUTH OP NCW NAVi.
The fame of Roach's shipyard Is as
closely nllf-ned with the srowth of our
navy as It Is with the history of the
merchant marine. Some of Uncle Sam's
first Iron ships were turned out by John
Itoach. The gunboats Alert, Huron.
Chlca-ro, Atlanta, Ucnnlngton, Boston,
Concord nnd rtirltan v. ere completed
under his dlreotlon.
In 1SS3 the Secretary of tho Navy called
for bids on four vessels, the Atlanta,
lioston, Chlcnfio and Dolphin. Koach was
one of tho bidders. He then owned In nd
dltlon to the shipyard, tho Morcan Iron
Works and n steel making plant at Thur
low, Just above Chester. His bid amazed
other shipbuilders nnd tho Navy Depart
ment. It wns W15.000 below the next low
cut bidder nnd $774,100 below tho estimate
of tho Advisory Board, Itoach had
found, by experiments, ho could produce
steel of roqulrcd quality at a price lower
than his competitors could.
Politics placed nn Important part In
tho fullllmcnt of these contracts nnd
when the Government rejected the Dol
phin upon completion the heart of John
Roach was broken and he died a few
years later. Ho had labored sincerely
and earnestly to make tho ship nn honor
to Ms name. The proof that ho did so
Is shown In the fact that the Dolphin,
which wax later accepted, la doing nctlve
work In tho navy today, when other craft
built Inter have paired Into oblivion.

Admitting the theft of automobile

In a garage, Clarence Fleming, a Negro,

nnd carried It to an empty house at 21th

JOY-RIDING PRISONERS MUST
REVERT TO COMMON PATROL
Pleasurable Ride to Lock-up Blftnted
for Avalanche of Offenders.
Joy1 riding among the regular week
end hoarders at the Germantown police
station came to nn end today. Disturbers
of tho pence will no longer be taken to
the lock-tip In the latest Improved tour
ing car. Beginning Monday they will
hnvc to bo content to go In an ordinary
patrot.
When tho oftlclal wagon was put out
of business sevoral weeks ago by an nc
cldent, Fire Marshal William Coupe, who
Is an ardent Germantown citizen, Imme
diately offered his automobile. Those
who aro In n habit of coming to the
pollco etatlon every Saturday Immediately
spread the news, and very soon the po
lice had moro petty offenders than over.
It waB noticeable, too, that the driver
took tho riders to tho station house In
n roundabout way.
Incidentally, Mnglstrato Pennock, who
conducts the hearings In Germanlowh,
found that the cases have Increased
threefold since tho auto began serving
as n patrol, whllo the charges were 60
slight that three-fourths of the prison
ers wore discharged. In fact, things
reached such a stage that tho approach
of tho touring ear very oftnn was the
signal for an Impromptu fight In the
street. When tho lighters were gathered
In they simply chuckled nnd would lean
back like millionaires.
That's why tho police bellcvo that the
arrival of the regular wagon will work
a reform In Germantown.
