SAYS FISHING BOAT CREW
 HAD HILARIOUS TIME

Philip l.. Peck, a Lyme young man, who is a friend of c. M. Shay, president of the Mantle Menhaden, Oil and Guano Co.,, and made a trip to New York on one of the fishing trips made by the boat of the Southern Menhaden Co. of Jack sonville, was a witness in the superior court here Wednesday afternoon.
 The Jacksonville company is suing the Mantle Co. for s1e.0Op damages on a claim for breach of contract, while the Mantle company makes a counter claim for S70,000 on the claim that the Jack sonyille company failed to aetch fish ac- cording to the contract.
 MT. Peck was called to the stand by the defense. He testified that he made the trip for the pleasure. of the thing, but he was interested enough to keep a diary of the daily happenings. Accord ing to his testimony, the Carneyal, the Southern Menhaden Co. boat that was working for the Mantle Co.,, had a hi- larious time when the boat reached New York. The next day they went out to the fishing grounds where other fishing boats were making catches, but the Jack
 sonville crew caught only about 100 bar rels of fish and then pulled up and sailed away \to New London. There was an- l other hilarious time. when the crew reached there he testified. c. M. Shay, manager of the defendant
 company, who was on the stand most ot
 the day Tuesday, resumed his testimony Wednesday and he was cross-examinet I by Attorner Tracy Waller. MT. Shay wa: l on the stand most of the morning. It has been brought out in the testi l mony that one barrel of menhaden pro 1 duces four gallons of oil and that tor
 of scrap is secured from 45 barrels of thu l fish.
 Capt Joseph S. Davis and Capt 1 Charles S. Burns were two other wit
 nesses during the afternoon. The latte 1 testified that Capt Taper of the Jack
 sonville boat had good reputation as fisherman.

CHICKEN COOP GUN TRAP
 HAS NORTH sTONINGTON EXCITED
Special to The BulIeti1


 North Stonington, Feb. 9. - North Stonington is wrought unFoYer the vari- ous conflicting stories that are being circulated about the shooting Of Otis Morgan of the North Stoaington road on the afternoon of Thursday January 27. There is no doubt but that Morgan was shot at a door of hen house located on the land of the Preston family, which ad- joins the place occupied by Morgan. AS stated by Mrs. Morgan, John Preston and Miss Charlotte. Preston, Morgan was taken to his home after the shooting took place by two men who were at work on the ~ state highway.
 Mrs. Alo gan states emphatically that her husband went to the Preston hen coop in search of two White Leghorn roosters which had disappeared from his place. She says that once before Nor gan lost some hens On the Thursday afternoon he was shot, he had just open ed the outside door of the hen house when gun went off and the bullet struck Morgan in the hip. This gun had been there for years, she says.
 According to Miss Charlotte and John Preston the shooting occurred on Thurs day, Jan. 27, while they were in Wester- ly and the other Preston brothers, Fred and Arthur, whe are blind, were at home. John Preston claims that he set the gun in the hen house the light before Mor- gan was shot and hal intended to re- lease the trap before going to Westerly on Thursday. According to Preston, the A calibre rife was placed back of an 1 inside door of the house. The butt of i the gun rested upon stick which had been cut out to hold it and another stick l held up the barrel of the rifle. When the rife went off the bullet passed through 8 chicken netting and the henhouse door l which doubtless accounts for the bullet being fattened.
 Otis Morgan, who is being treated al l the Backus hospital in Norwich is report | ed to be making satisfactory recovery
 His condition was first considered seri
 ous when poisoning set in the found ant l it was feared that it might be necessar1 l to amputate his leg, according to Mrs l Morgan.

FACTs ABOUT DISARMAMENT

Disarmament is not, i'm itself a matter half SO important as the measure of the disarmament that may result from inter- national action and the effect of the latter policy upon the United States
 There is a certain type of mind which takes au idea. worthy enough in itsclf and champions 1t to the complete exclusion of any and every undesirable result that may low from the worthy suggestion Such IS .hc ease in the debate over disarmament
 For instance, were the nations of earth to a.rvc at this time to mainatin the status quo in naval construction, what would be tac position of the United States!
 Information now in possession of the United States answers that question.
 The United States would have navy more than double that of Japan but only about ouc-half that of Great Britain.
 In other words, taking the Japanese navy as unit, the sea force of the United States would be represented by two and la. of Great Britain by four
 Britain aud Japan would have a com- bmcd navy two and a half times that of the United States.
 The United States and Japan together would have force only threc-quartcrs as great as that of Britain alone.
 Or parasug the situation in another wav. EueImd this year maintains 1t "two- navy" standard It's sea force is as large as that of the second and third sea nations combined
 These are facts-the facts upon which thc American people must pass when they decree disarmament in any measure.
 Shall this country have a navy second To none OF shall 1t mcckly accept a subor- dmatc position on the seas for all future time!
 After that matter has been threshcd out, then we can proceed to take mp the question of disarmamcut-fo the nations decision as to the part it shall play on the high seas will determine how far 1t is prepared to go in meeting the inspired foreign demand for general cmtaimcut of naval construction
