CONTINUED from Page u

ness 1 heard more loud talking as
if all were quarreling. Then 1 heard
a shot.
81 heard a woman's voice scream
in horror"
Mrs. Gibson said the woman who
screamed uttered a name and shout
ed: please, please." -
"And them" said Mrs. Gibson, II

wen on home"
Mrs. Gibson fixes the time of the
shooting as $3.50 P. M. She said
the bus from New Brunswick to
Milestone passes her door about
Oil and that she started out to
follow the corn thieves just after
the bus went by.
Her story fits in with that of Mr..
and Mrs. Norman Tingle, who live
on Easto.i avenue not far from De-
Russy's lane. Mrs. Tingle had de-
clared that on the night of the
shooting she called her husbands
attention to a fallen star. He looked
at his watch at that time, Mrs.
Tingle said, and it was $50. A few
minutes later both report they
heard shots in the direction of the
Phillips farm crabapple tree.
Mrs. Tingle said she recalled the
night because when she saw the
shooting star she said to her hus-
band: THAT means DEATH"

NAVY DAY" To
Be OBSERVED
Mayor Issues Proclamation
Urging That the American
Flag be Displayed

Navy Day will be observed
throughout the county tomorrow and
Mayor Wilson in a proclamation Is
sued today, urges that the American
flag be displayed from ali homes,
public buildings, offices and indus
trial plants. In addition to tomor-
rows being Navy Day, the a%nniver-
sary of the birth of Theodore Roose-
welt is also being observed in all
parts of the United States, making
the display of flags serve a dual pur-
pose.
The public schools have been re-
quested to arrange exercises in keep
ing with the day, showing the inn
portant part played in the recent
war by the navy and its importance
in peace times as well.
Mayor Wilson's navy day procla-
nation follows:
FRIDAY. October Fl, 1922, has
been designated as Navy Day by the
Navy League of the United States.
1.-THE Navy rendered vital service
to the nation and to humanity dur
ing the World War. No great fleet
action was fought to give spectacular
emphasis to its vital contribution to
the victory. But the convoy, the
anti-submarine patrol, the mine bar
rage were essential factors in the
winning of the war and the saving
of civilization. So it has been in
every crisis of our history-the navy
has not failed. In the Revolution.
the War of 1912, the Civil War, the
Spanish-American War, victory
without the navy would have been
virtually impossible. Today u
peace and prosperity are safeguard
ed by the navy. 1t is an agent OF
stability in a troubled world. 1t
carries no threat, but it lends au-
thority to Americas voice, speaking
for altruiSm, justice and law.
ION Navy Day. we would celebrate
the conservation to duty of the per-
scnnel of the present navy, the glor-
ious services rendered to the nation
by the navy of the past. We would
emphasize it's unity with every In
terest and activity of the national
life. 1t is good for the people to
stop a moment and consider what
has caused the nations prosperity
and greatness. The navy has played
no small part in the progress of Am
erica to it's present state of intiu-
ence,
Therefore, I, William c. Wilson,
as mayor of the City of Perth AM
boy. have the honor and pleasure to
ask that the community at large m
phasize Navy Day by displaying Old
Glory throughout the city on that
day, and that the schools and patri-
otto societies observe the day by
holding discussions and such appro-
pirate exercises as will commemor-
ate the real meaning of Navy Day.
Let the flag wave on Navy Day."
