No Gambling at
Orleans County Fair

At a meeting of the directors
of the Orleans county fair at Ho-
tel Barton recently it was decided
to eliminate all gambling devices
at the next fair. Action along this
line was urged last year and it is
the desire of the directors TO have
it widely known that all forms Of
gambling will be eliminated.
The premium list for the 1922
fair has had several changes III
regards to classes, making more
sections than it has ever had be-
fore.
The usual charge for admitting
automobiles to the oval has been
abolished and the gate admission
made 50 cents for automobiles in
stead of 80 cents as heretofore.
A new entrance will be con-
structed on Park street making it
easier to handle the crowds and
avoid the congestion that has al
ways bothered in the past with
only one main gate.

 Capture DeValera
By Associated Press

Dublin, November 4.-After a pe- riod of comparative freedom from military clashes the Free State capi- tai was awakened this morning by the sound of rifle shots, caused by a sensational raid by national troops on a house in Aylesbury Road, Balls bridge, in an attempt to capture Ramon Devalera. It is believed the republican leader escaped last eve ming.
 One Free State soldier was killed, several men and two women were wounded. Commandant General Err nest O'Malley prominent irregular, who was in the house and fired on the raiding party, was wounded and later was arrested. Three women, Mrs. and Miss Humphries and Mrs. ORahilly, said to be connected with prominent irregular organization, also were arrested
 It was at first thought that Mary MacSwiney had been arrested at the house. but she was arrested later when a search of house in Herbert Park, Ballsbridge, revealed her pres- ence there.
 The house in Aylesbury road, 1t, is stated, was the headquarters of the northeast command of the irregulars and papers and documents were dis covered there to which the Free State officials attach the highest impor- tance.
 Captain Doyle, officer commanding the Greenor barracks. died this eve ming from the wounds be received in an ambush between Greenore and Dundalk. Sergeant Traynor, who &C., companied him, was shot dead.

W|DOW.OF SLAIN RECTOR READY ID
 WAIVE IMMUNITY
Woman Says She Has Been Put Under Suspicion by Witness" Story of
 Mrs. Gibson
By Associated rress

New Brunswick. N. J.. November {. If Special Prosecutor Wilbur A. Mott lays the Hall-Mills murder case be- fore the Somerset grand jury next week. Mrs. Frances Noel Stevens Hall, widow of the rector. will waive immunity and demand that the grand jury hear her story.
 This decision, announced by one authorized to speak for Mrs. Hall, was reached today. Under the New Jersey law her demand could be de- nied only by withholding the case until after arrests had been made. And in that eventuality Mrs. Hall, if she were one of those arrested, would force G show down of all the evil dence by means of q habeas corpus action.
 The New Jersey law, 1t was pointed out, provides that any person under suspicion in connection with a crime may insist on being heard by the grand jury considering the case.
 Mrs. Hall, it was said, regards her self as having been put under sus- picion by Mrs. Jane Gibson's so-called "eye-witness" recital of the staying of the Rev. Edward W. Hall and Mra Eleanor R. Mills, and by various questions to which she has been sub jected.
 Will Consult Foreman
 Whether MT. Mott would consent to her appearance be4 re the grand jury could not be ascertained. He an- nounced today, however, that he would consult with the foreman of the Somerset grand jury next Thurs day as to when the case should be submitted.
 This announcement was taken to indicate that MT. Mott felt he had his case we'll In hand and this presump- ton was confirmed by his aids.
 Mir. Mott, it was declared, has an extremely we'll rounded case built around the story of Mrs. Gibson.
 It was reported that he had two "semi-eye witnesses'-persons who saw the murder party, though they did not actually witness the slay- ing.
 He also was said to be in possess sion of a pistol important. to the case and to know the whereabouts of the automobile used by the slayers.
 In addition, there are said to be other witnesses who have been able to shed much light on the motive for the slaying. Among these are sev- eral said to have observed woman watching the Phillips farm where the minister and Mrs. Mills frequently met and where they were slain.
