Instructions in Fight to
: - Break Will. ,
Complete provision was made in the
will of the late Dr. Wljltm Tyler -Smith
or Sheridan, who died there Wednesday
morning, for the continuation of the
.contest of the Xarifa Jane Paling wilt.
The will, -drawn on hie deathbed 'with
the aid of Coy Burnett of Portland, hie
attorney, enjoined his two nonv William
and Thurlow, to carry to the supreme
court If necessary the fight to break the
will, and provides for the disposal of (he
estate If the fight succeeds. " '
Mrs. Xarifa Jane. Fall rig, who died, tn
August, 1917. left an estate valued at
feoo.ooo. to C. Lewis Mead and Thomas
S. Strong-, and the contest for breaking
the will alleged that she was mentally
deranged at the time she drew It, and
that she was unduly Influenced, "i
The case has been argued and at pres
ent is before' Judge Oeorge Taswell for
decision. It Is not "known whether or
not he will decide the case before he
takes the office of circuit judge, which
ho was given by the -last legislature. In
the event that he does not, it is possible
that the case will have to be argued
again before hint in his new office.
, Coy Burnett is confident that he will
succeed in the contest over the will, and
in the event that the awaited decision
Is unfavorable, is prepared to proceed
with the fight Jn the next higher court.

hundred feet before bearings could be
taken. They finally succeeded in glid
ing into the sea about 200 yards from
the beach. The machine was not
equipped for landing in the water and
its two occupants were obliged to swim
ashore. While the airplane waa some

Boston, April 18. U. P.) Democratic

ing at a meeting of striking telephone
operators here today, bitterly arraigned

By J. J. Rowlands
Boston, 1 Mass., April. 18. (U. P.)
Twenty thousand telephone employes of
five New England states are- on strike
today. r ,:
. The Industrial and social life of five
states has been seriously disnfpted ;
more than (30,000 telephones are out of
commission; the loss to business inter
ests is dally amounting to hundreds of
thousands ?f dollars am the people are
facing- emergencies In 'v which, i under
normal conditions - the . telephone plays
the leading part. And, yet, despite the
tremendous inconvenience to - which the"
public has been subjected, the financial
loss and the personal anxiety, there is
every Indication, that the public sympa
thizes with , the- striking ; telephone
workers. , V1 ,
The strike Is an effort on the part of
organized labor to gain higher wages.
The governors of the five states af-
rfected by the strike cabled President
Wilson urging action to settle it.
City and state officials have been and
still are making desperate efforts to
find some way of bringing about a res
toration of telephone service. Leading
Democrats of New England, in a cable
to President Wilson, , charged that the
postmaster general is wrecking the
Democratic party and demanded that he
be removed and the strike settled. ,
- A general' strike of all labor in New
England is predicted it the strike is not
settled in a very short time.
The possibility , of a nation wide
strike of telephone employes has ad
vanced , from the stage of being con
sidered to the point where plans for such
a move are in the making. The strikers
in New England are constantly being as
sured of the support of unions in every
state. .
FERRERA IS EXCITABLE
WITNESS IN HIS LlBEL
SUIT AGAINST VISETTI
On Cross-Examination He Admits
-His; Paper Published Poem
, ; Reflecting on Rival,
'Albert" B. J"errera, Portland attorney
and compTaining witness for the state
'in' he action for criminal libel brought
against X. Carlo Vlsettt, former Italian
consul and publisher of the Italian Jour
nal, took the witness stand today shortly
after -the opening of the trial in Cir
cuit Judge Kavanaugh's court, and
branded as absolutely false the slander
ous ' articles which . appeared concern
ing him on November -22, 1918, in the
newspaper owned by- the 'defendant.
"Absolutely false, the imaginings of a
perverted mind," , was, !the witness re
sponse to a- question by Deputy District
Attorney - Bernard as to whether there
was any truth in the alleged libelous
article. .
During the examination of Mr.'Ier
rera it was necessary for the attorneys
on both aides to caution the witness
to remain cool, as he frequently made
heated remarks concerning his reputed
libeier, who was seated by the side of
his counsel, John L. Stevenson and G.
L. Maston. "
On one (occaslon after being, admon
ished by Attorney Stevenson to keep
cool, and answer the questions put to
him, Mr. Ferrers retorted:
"I know John, but if you had been
assassinated by that man as I have!
you wouldn t keep cool, you would
commit a crime." ,
On the cross-examination the witness
for the state admitted that he was
the editor of the Italian Tribune, , which
Jiad published a poem containing
charges against the defendant. Dr. VI
settl. However, Mr. Ferrara disclaimed
authorship of the poem in question
and stated that while he' was editor of
the 'paper he had nothing to do with
the publishing of. it. The first .he
knew of the poem, he said, was when
a copy of the paper containing it was
delivered to his office. He averred
that had he known, beforehand of
its nature . he would - have . prevented
Its publication. "
Attorneys for the" defense will' st
tempt to show that it was because
of this attack upon; Dr. Vlsettt made
in the paper of which Mr. Ferrers
is editor although only nominally, that
the accused published the article on
November 22 for which he was indicted.
Circuit Judges C. U. Gantenbein and
William Gatens - testified in behalf of
Mr Ferrers -both as to their long ac
quaintance with blra and his character
and standing before the community.
Attorneys Bradley E.- Ewers. E. Men-
denhall and L; F. Tarpley all testified
that they-; had been sent copies of the
publication containing the libelous ar
ticle and that they were not regular
subscribers to ; the paper. -: They also
gave evidence as to Mr., Ferrera's good
standing in the city.
