Kirkbride was on the second
car. When the robbers ordered
all passengers to put up their
hands he tried to draw a revolver.
They shot him down at once.
When they had cleaned out the

WIRING CAUSE
OF FIRE TODAY
S1,100 Damage in Home of
Andrew Feddersen.

Defective wiring In the cellar of
the residence Of Andrew Feddersen,
contractor, at 273 Goodwin street,
ignited the woodwork about 7
o oclock this morning and about
$1,10O damage was done before the
firemen extinguished the blaze. The
alarm was sounded from Box "a by
a passerby who saw smoke issuing
from the cellar.
The blaze gained much headway
before the arrival of the firemen
and was hard to get at as a double
flooring separated the cellar from
the first story. The flames ate
through the wooden partitions to
the first floor and burst out to the
surrounding woodwork and sides OF
the structure.
After nearly an hours work the
firemen thought that the blaze was
extinguished and we're preparing to
leave. Suddenly 1t broke out again
and the firemen we're forced to use
chemicals and tear away part Of the
flooring. The fire caused about $500
damage to the building and $500 to
furniture. Insurance was carried.

BIG SCHOONERS.
BLOWN ASHORE.
Three Masters Ground at
Sea Breeze Yesterday.

Two three big masted schooners
loaded with coal from the Pennsyl-
vania docks at Sout1 Amboy went
aground on Wards Point at Sea
Breeze, Staten Island, about 3 80
o'clock yesterday afternoon. The
two schooners in tow of the tug Pro-
tector of New York, were the Irene
e. Meservey and the Winchester.
The Meseryey was loaded with 400
tons Of soft coal and the Winchester
has a cargo of 425 tons of hard coal
The two vessels were driven ashore
by the heavy gale that swept this
section during yesterday afternoon
and last night. With the assistance
of the tug Ward, the Protector sue
ceeded in getting the Meservey off at
high water this morning, but the
Winchester Is still hard aground.
The latter will probably be floated
this afternoon. The Meservey was
taken up the sound this morning by
the Protector. Neither vessel was
damaged, as far as it is known as
the place where they stuck fast IS OF
sandy bottom.
The Winchester is 12S feet long,
80 feet beam and 8 feet deep and
was built at Bath, Me- 1t was for
merly the schooner William T. Col
Inns, and its home port is Mount
Desert Terry, Maine. The Irene f.
Meseryey is ia feet long, 20 feet
beam and 10 feet deep and was built
at Waldoboro, Me-, in 1866. It's
home port is Bangor, Maine.

$|27 FOR THE
PARADE FUND
Volunteer FiremeR Plan Fea-
tures for October Event.

Plans for the firemen's parade
for Thursday, october "a, were fur
thered at meeting of the general
parade committee held in the head
quarters of Lincoln Engine Company
last night. Thomas Cluney, treas
urer for the committee, reported
that to date 1927 has been collected.
Several features for the event were
planned at last nights session but
they will not be diyulged until a
later date. Nearly every member
of the committee was present.
Peter KrOeger and Paul Woit-
scheck, aspirants for the position of
second assistant chief were present
and made a few remarks. At last
nights session it was definitely de-
cided that no out-of-toWn profess
sional solicitor would be engaged to
collect for the firemen's fund.
The advisability of holding a ball
on the night of the event under the
auspices of the general parade com
mittee was discussed bat laid over
until the July meeting.

Will Be Tested Prospect
of Big Aviation Station.

Queen AeropIane Company
Send Expert Looming to

Soldiers Beach within two weeks
will be a regular aviation station.
This was made certain today when
representatives of the Queen Aero
plane company announced that they
had given out contracts for the erec-
tion of two hangers for the use of
the celebrated aviator and aero ma
chine expert, Grover Cleveland Leon
Ing. Mr.. Looming is an expert in
aerOnautics and has written several
books on the subject.

Soldiers at present and o. G. Sim
mons, one of Mr. Golfers experts.
today stated that many others inter-
ested in hydrO-aeroplanes would un-
doubtedly establish quarters at Seid-
ler's. Mr.. Simmons predicts that
Soldiers within a short time will be
as well known In the aviation world
for hydro-aeroplanes as Mineola, L.
l., for aeroplanes.
Mr.. Looming will use a machine of
the monoplane type equipped with
lower craft resembling a motor
boat. The machine will be driven
by a specially built fifty horse power
engine capable of making at least
nifty miles per hour, This form of
air craft can be sent along the water
in the same manner as a motorboat
Not only will the representative of
the Queen company use Soldiers
for demonstrating purposes but will
try out several of their latest pat
ents.
Carpenters will start work on the
hangers the early part of next week
and it is expected that the mono
plane will, be in action within two
weeks. The monoplane instead of
using pontoons for floating purposes
has boat so constructed as to skim
the waves. This will retard the
speed of the machine The craft
now in use at Soldiers by Mr.. Col
lier is much faster than those built
by the QueC-, concern.

RATHER NERVY
OF BRUNSWICK
Hang Booster Banners" on
Smith Street. Acting Mayor
Is Much Displeased.
MUST BE TAKEN DOWN
Chief Burke Ordered to No
tify Public ServiCe-Co
trary to Ordinance.

Acting Mayor Ferd Garretson
has instructed Chief of Police Pat
rick j. Burke to notify the Public
Service Traction company that the
booster banners" placed on the
trolley wires in this city by the New
Brunswick Board of Trade are in
direct violation with a city ordin-
anCe and must be removed. The
city authorities were displeased this
morning when it became known that
banners had been hung from the
wires without any application for per
mission by the trade board officials
from the Board of Aldermen. The
New Brunswick organization had Sc
cured permission from the Public
Service company to adOrn the wires
with the little banners in and about
the county seat, but no mention was
made of Perth AmbOy.
District superintendent Burke, of
New Brunswick, informed NEWS
reporter that the banners would be
removed, if found to conflict with a
city law. The matter was taken up
by Mayor Garretson and Chief
Burke, who found the question COW
cred in the following law: mo
owner or occupancy of any dwelling
house, store or other premises with
in the corporate limits of the City
of Perth Amboy shall fix, put up,
hang or erect or suffer same to re-
main fixed, put up, hung or erected,
any sign, show bill, show case or
other thing which shall project into,
on, over or across the street, side
walk, highway or other public place
in said city more than three feet in
front of and from the wall or front
of any such building or premises
under the penalty of twenty dollars
for each and every offense"
The banners in question describe
the advantages Of the City of New
Brunswick and also tell of the pro-
posed Booster Week" which will
be held in that city the week of
May 27. Perth Amboy has been
placarded with flaring announce
ments of the event. In speaking of
this phase of the matter, Alderman
Seaman said Let them boost New
Brunswick; we're not afraid of
them. Some day we'll go up to
Brunswick and bring the entire city
down here"
Alderman Richard ]. CALVIN, a
member of the streets and sewers
committee and chairman of the
light committee, is said to be in
censed over the nerve of New
Brunswick" in suspending banners
from the trolley lines over the prln-
cipal street in the city. Mr.. Calvin
could not be reached on the subject,
however, as he is in New Brunswick
at a jury trial.

NOTICE SERVED
is DEFECTIVE
Thomas Brown Refuses to
File Answer in Sensational
HaIlahan Case.
PLACE NOT DESIGNATED
James S. Wight, Counsel for
Mrs. Hal|ahan, He Claims
Made Costly Error.

Another unexpected yet interest
ing turn was taken today in the
sensational Hallahan case when
Lawyer Thomas Brown, counsel for
William Hallahan. a son, who has
instituted proceedings to set aside
recent conveyances from his mother,
Mrs. Charlotte Hallahan, to his
sister, Miss Charlotte A. Hallahan,
announced that he would not appear
at 10 o'clock this morning before
Chancellor Walker to answer to a
motion by Lawyer James S. Wight,
appearing for Mrs. Hallahan, to set
aside the proceedings. Mr.. Brown
pear before the court on the ground
that the notice served on hiur by
Mr. Wight was defective.
Mr.. Brown claims that the notice
of motion, with a list Of reasons,
served upon him about two weeks
ago, did not designate whether it
was returnable at the chancery
chambers In Newark or State House,
Trenton, as required by Rule 4 of
the rules of the Court of Chancery.
Therefore, not knowing whether to
appear at Nev ark or at Trenton,
Mr.. Brow f0 arded a letter to
each chamber, stating the disad-
vantage and delusion under which
ne labored because of the alleged
faulty notice. Instead of attending
the chancery hearing this morning
Mr.. Brown appeared in the district
court, this city, and disposed of sew
eral minor cases.
Mr.. Brown states that he was in
q position to answer the motion If
the papers had not been found de
fective. but it is now necessary for
Mr.. Wight to prepare the entire
proceedings again, and, possibly
secure new affidavits. Mr.. Brown
says he is not in a position to state
what will be the next move in the
case, as the matter now rests with
the side represented In the tangle
by Lawyer Wight. An inquiry al
Mr., Wight's office this morning re-
vealed the fact that che is out OF
town" but nothing more definite
could be learned. 1t is understood
that he is in Trenton today, how
ever, which belief is strengthened
by late word from the State House
to the effect that one Perth Amboy
idNStE appeared III the 11dlldndll
matter when called by the chancel-
lor.
Not only will the error in the
papers as drawn by Mr.. Wight
cause further delay in settling
lhe case but increase the cost OF
the proceedings.
According to a late dispatch from
Trenton, no action was taken today
in the matter, although Mr. Wight
was at Trenton and appeared before
Chancellor Walker. The latter re-
ceived Mr.. Browns letter, 1t is stat
ed, but took no action, whatsoever,
in the case. 1t IS expected that an
effort will be made by the defense to
have the matter aired in the Court
Of Chancery next Tuesday.

FLY ON JULY 4
0. G. Simmons Says He
Would Be Pleased to Give
Exhibition Here.
WILL NOT MAKE CHARGE
Acting Mayor Garretson to
Extend invitation --ArranQe-
ments Will be Completed.

If present plans materiali2e o. G.
Simmons, the expert aviator and
machinist employed by r. j. Collier,
will give exhibition flights off the
bluff on July A. Mr.. Simmons learn
ed that the people of this city were
anxious to see Mr.. Golfers hydro
aeroplane in action and today In an
interview with a NEWS representa-
tive said he was willing to accommo-
date them. When Acting Mayor
Ferd Garretson was informed of
Mr.. Simmons offer he was delighted
and said that he would send Mr.
Simmons an invitation at once. The
aviator when asked what recompense
he would ask for the flight, replied
that he would do 1t for the pleasure.
Mr.. Simmons said that he expect
ed to be at Soldiers on July 4 and
that he would not consider 1t any
trouble to perform for the benefit
of the citizens of Perth Amboy. Act
ing Mayor Ferd Garretson intended
to ask Mr.. Collier but as yet has not
communicated with him on the sub
ject. If Simmons makes the fight
about the city on July 4 he will
probably be accompanied by an
EVENING NEWS reporter.
Yesterday and today no flights
were made by the Collier machine
at Soldiers. The high winds yester-
day prevented flights and today
nearly all of those interested in the
machine are busy In New York. Mr..
Brookins who taught Mr.. Collier the
art of plotting his air craft, will
probably leave in another week.
Flights will be resumed tomorrow.
