probation period of three years in a
school district unless the district
committee fixes a shorter probation

SHOTS
AT AUTO OF
COUNTESS
Daring Attempt to Hold Up
the Automobile of Coun-
tess Turczynowicz.

A daring attempt to hold up the
automobile of the Countess Turczyno-
night in secluded spot near the
boundary line between Easton and
Redding. The car was being driven
to Bird dgeport by Arthur Burr, chauf-
by his brother Harold, who were on
their way to Bridgeport to bring the
Countess back from a meeting which
she addressed in favor of the League
of Nations at the Junior High school.
Just as the automobile had come
to the Easton line at the northern
boundary between Easton and Red
ding, they were startled by three pls-
toI shots from ambush apparently
aimed at them. In the dim light they
were just able to make out the form
of a man lurking in the shadows.
They did not stop but rushed on and
arrived in Bridgeport uninjured. so
frightened were the two boys that
they didn't say a word about the in
cident until after they had started
the return journey to Redding with
the Countess.
The Countess was entertained at the
Stratfield after the meeting by Mr.
and Mrs. B. I. Ashmun, whose guest
she was while in the city.
The first knowledge the Countess
had of the incident was when Arthur
Burr suggested that another road be
taken on the return journey, ane
| when Questioned for his reason tolt
| of the attack. The Countess ISSUED
| instructions to return by the sam'
| road. Her long experience in war
| torn Europe had made her Oblivion:
| to danger and her only thought wa:
to capture the miscreants some trace
| of whom she hoped to find on the
| jouriey back. No trace, however, was
| found.
1t is understood that the matte
| will be referred to the State Polio
and a determined effort made to ap
| prehend the perpetrator of the out
| rage.
| The spot where the attack wa
| made is not far from the Burr Tuck
er home in Easton, and surrounde,
| by thick woods and a heavy growt
| of bushes.

for an appeal to the state board of
education from the decision of the
local board, and the decision of the
state board is to be final. 1t is pro-
posed to have this law mandatory on
all school districts not later than
September 1, 1922. This proposal has
the approval of the state board of
educa alton.
The chief addition to the present
teacher retirement law is a clause al
lowing a teacher to be retired who
becomes permanently incapable of
rendering satisfactory service because
of physical or mental disability and
fore the teacher to receive a pension
based on the years of completed ser
vice. To be eligible under this clause,
a teacher must have taught in the
state for ten years, the last five of
which must have been consecutive.
The pension for each completed year
of service is one-thirtieth that which
the teacher would receive if retired al
the age of go years.

BELIEVED TO BE
SHOP EMPL0YE

New York. Oct 23.-Staten Island
detectives sought today to identify the
body of a young woman found dead
of strangulation last night in clump
of underbrush near West Newbrighton.
Assistant Medical Examiner George
D, Mord declared that the woman
apparently about 25 years old, un-
1uestionab1y had been murdered. A
small hemp rope was tied in a hang
mans knot around the neck and the
body showed evidences of a violent
struggle.
The Staten Island police have no
record of a missing woman answering

believe she lived in New Jersey. They
notified authorities at Bayonne, Eliz-
apeth and Perth Amboy, which are
convenient by ferry to the spot where
