stables of the sheriff's office.
The defense, through Frederick
Richardson, has entered a denial to
the killing charge. He admits tina
he was a member of the party and
that a majority of those in the party
were pretty well intoxicated. When
the shooting started, Girando
claims, he ran away t. escape dan
ger and slept in a field over night:
The next morning he was informed
that the authorities were looking
for him and went away to Welland,
Ontario :. His testimony is in direct
contradiction to that OF the states
chief witness, Georgianna. Georg-
ianna claims that Girando fired sven
shots in rapid succession, but could
rot say whether the defendant
killed Mauro.
Testimony from Italian witnesses
Is being secured through Joseph
Lombardi, an interpreter. The de-
fense is endeavoring to throw the
blame for the death of Mauro on
Joe Voce, who was also killed In
the fracas. Witness appear. fright
ened to talk, as reusult of recent
threats by Italian secret societies. A
number of witnesses are danger

Brunen at InStigation of
Harry Mohr

MOUNT HOLLY, Dec. Ia
Charles NJ. Powell, confessed slayer
of Honest" John T. Brunen, circus
owner, took the stand again today
and was subjected to a cross-exam-
ination by counsel for the defense.
Powell, who said yesterday that ne
shot the Snowman at the instigation
of Harry C. Mohr and his sister,
Mrs. Doris Brunen, was questioned
as to whether he had been promised
immunity for his confession.
Counsel for the defense repeated
ly asked Powell his reason for kill
ing Brunen. The slayer's invariable
answer was that he committed the
crime to please Mohr. Six convicts,
two of them murderers, will be used
as witnesses for the defense in an
attempt to prove that Powell is In
sane. These convicts were in the
Mount Holly jail at the time Powell
was there and they are expected TO
testify that Powell acted like an
insane man at the time.
Two of the convicts are at the
state reformatory in Railway and
four at the state penitentiary at
Trenton. They will be brought here

nection With Isolation Hos
pitaI Discussed
CITY HOSPITAL MOVE
Nutrition Work in Schools
Also Gets Attention of
Board at Meeting

The building of new hospital to
work in connection with the isola-
tion hospital in order that cases of
all kinds may be taken care of was
the important question that came
up at the regular meeting of the
Board of Health last night.
Quite a discussion of this matter
took place after which it was decid-
ed that the secretary of the board
get in touch with the board of gov
ernors of the City Hospital and with
them make an appointment when
both they and the members of the
board may meet to discuss the
building of the hospital.
The next important feature in the
| unfinished business was the nutri-
ton work in the schools. To this
the secretary made his report say
| ing that as previously instructed he
| had written to the committee on
nutrition instructing them to hold q
meeting at which they could decide
just what work was expected Of the
board in regard to the schools. He
said that the meeting was held by
the nutrition committee at which he
attended and the work of the board
outlined.
Every child in the schools will be
examined by the nurse and those
who are found to be a few points
under weight or under normal stand
| ing will be given this nutrition. After
a few months if this does not i'm
prove the child and after a further
examination the nurse finds the child
in no way progressing. the child will
| be handed over to the physician. who
will investigate and find just where
| the trouble lies, whether 1t be the
parents or the child's fault. II the
| fault lies with the parents or the
children, a nurse will be sent to the
home to instruct both of them as te
work of instructing will be taken u
| by the health board.
The following program was alst
provided to carry on this work:
To seek the permission of the
| Board of Education to work in th'
schools, also their cooperation il
| doing this work. Start to weigh
and measure the children to ascer'
| tain who are deficit in weight ant
stature. To procure the services o
| a nutrition worker who is well vers
| ed in this work. The follow-ul
work.
The follow work which consist
of the instructing of the parents ant
children will be done by the nurse
from the Board of Health.
A motion was then made that tn
present ordinance regulating the 10
cal barber shops and beauty parlor
be revised whereby they will b
compelled to install the use of indi
vidual shaving cups, and that month
ly inspections of these places b
made; also that they be under tn
supervision of the board.

ROTARY CLUB
HAS MINSTREL
give Man. Show Today
Scores Big Hit at Packer
House Luncheon

A miniature minstrel. Happy
Days in Dixie" presented by a COM
pany of five men, was the feature
of the weekly meeting and lunch
con Of the Rotary Club held at noon
today in the grill Of the New Pack
er House, the room acting in the
capacity of a music hall during the
performance. The show was ad-
vertised as one-round knockout
and it lived up to its name, being
a scream from start to finish and
tinged with jocular personalities
throughout.
Although only five men took part,
consisting of Val Afflerbach, inter-
locutor; DR.. George w. Fithian and
Fred Briggs, end men, and Andrew
Wight and Oliver Hatfield, ballad
lists, the quintet managed to make
as much noise and bring forth as
much laughter from the audience as
would a full sized company.
The act was put on by the Fiji
teen Hundred Club, Inc.," that Sc
lect organization of Rotary and
Lions Club men who offered their
800 bills as sacrifices on the shrine
of good music in getting the U. s.
Marine band here and for a time
had visions of never seeing their
deposits again. The production is
owned and was financed by Isaac
Alpern on a thirty day note The
words, according to the program
were written, wroaten and rotten
by the u. S. Marine band. The
scenery was designed by Aylin
Pierson and painted by Charley Hill
being constructed by Ira r. Grouse
from the left over material from the
band stand erected in city hall park
for the Marine band concert. Dra-
peries and furniture came from Ar
thur Stern and the songs and lines
were censored by Rev. Frederick
Niedermeyer.

BROADEN NAVAL
BILL IS PLEA
Is Reported to House With
Request That Action be
Taken BY President

WASHINGTON, Dec. IS (By The
Associated Press):-A request that
President Harding seek to broaden
the scope of the naval armament
agreement is included in the annual
naval bill reported in the House TO-
day.
Under the bill as brought in to
the House the President would be
asked to open negotiations with
Great Britain, France. Italy and
Japan for an agreement which
would limit submersible and surface
craft of a certain class. In this re-
port it is pointed out that the arm
ed conference did not limit the
number or type of smaller war ves-
sells and added that information had
reached congress "that already large
programs of plans of vessels up TO
the maximum size permitted under
the agreement and that new and
larger types of surface ships have
begun to put in an appearance"
"In other words" the report con-
tinued, competition aims in the
single direction under which the
agreement does not extend and If 1t
be allowed to go on unchecked the
first agreement again must pc re,
laxed and this government like all
others will be free to launch upon a
new program to the extent neces-
sary to keep at least abreast of any
other power"
An enlisted personnel during tie
fiscal year beginning next July or
5000, the same as at present is pro-
yided for in the navy budget carry
ing a total of $293,S06.53S. or ap-
proximately half a million dollars
less than last year, 1T was reported
to the house today.
