By the Associated Press, JACKSONVILLE, Fla., February 18. today that Jake Wilkinson had been shot and seriously wounded, other man _kidnaped and that serious trouble was expected, declared the little county seat town was quiet, that Wilkinson was shot ‘“probably accidentally” and that the man re- ported to have been kidnaped was on the street there tonight. Sheriff Rowe admitted that he tel- egraphed Sheriff Merritt of this county today stating that one man had been killed and another wounded and requesting Merritt to.rush depu- ties to assist him, but asked why le sent the message, he replied: “That was about another matter.” The sheriff, who denounced what he termed “incorrect reports,” said resi- dents of Macclenny probably were a little excited today, but reiterated there had Ween no trouble and that He said he be- he expected none. lieved he knew the identity of the person who shot Wilkinson this morning, but that so far no arrest had been made. One resident of Macclenny tele- phoned here shortly after noon that “hell will break loose here tonight” and added that he was preparing to move his wife and children to a place -of safety.

KRAUS $1,000,000 WILL DECLARED A FORGERY Surrogate Approved Report Deny- ing Claim of Alleged Daughter. By the Associated Press. = NEW YORK, February 18.—Sur- rogate Foley today approved a res port of Referee John Godfrey Saxe, declaring a forgery and invalid the purported will of the late Samuel Kraus, vice president of the Eagle pencil works, in which “practically all his $1,000,000 estate was be- queathed to Mrs. Adeline Thomas, who was alleged to have becn an il- legitimate daughter. -~ Validity of the will was contested by Bert Kraus of Brooklyn, a nephew of_the pencil manufacturer. Mrs. Thomas' mother was an em- ploye in the Eagle pencil factory at Yonkers when Kraus met her. testi- mony taken by the referee snowed. They met at a dinner given by offi- cials of the company to cmvioyes. ' Mrs. Thomas, in defending her claim to the estate, maintained that, while no marriage cerémony had been performed, Kraus acceptsd her mother publicly as his common-law wife and herseif as his daughter. Oscar ‘Thomas, Mrs. Thomas’ husband, was severely criticised by the referee for his connection with the alleged forgery. At the time the 1 referee’s report was filed Thomas in-, aignantly denied the document was a forgery and asserted an appeal would be filed in the event the. re- port was approved. Thomas since has died.- Surrogate Foley, in approving the report today, appointed Solomon E. Kraus, a brother of the deceased, and the Manufacturers’ Trust Coripany as administrators of the estate. Jheir bond was fixed at $100,000. Hearty cheers for the police from the thousands of textile strikers and sympathizers who had tramped over the snowy streets, gave a novel turn to the brief open-air meeting that followed the 3o-called “silent parade” here today. “I want to thank the Pawtucket police,” sald John T. Burns of the Carmen’s Union, marshal of the pa- rade. 'We got our permit without difficulty. They managed the traffic arrangements efficlently. - “Sometimes the police have to per- form disagreeable duties, but their hearts are in the right place and down in their hearts they are with you and me.” The parade, if not precisely silent, was unusual. It formed in front of the hall used as strike gquarters for the Blackstone valley. There were no bands, no uniforms, no decorations, no placards, although a few of the|. men wore yellow tags, on which was scribbled: “Don’t be yellow.” The marshal strode ahead bearing a large American flag. : Hundreds of Women. Directly behind him marched sev- eral hundred women and girls. Some of these carried small flags which they waved with enthusiasm.
