Asserts Defendant Said Her
Fingerprints Wouldn't Be
Found on the Cum

Special Dispatch to THE New York HERALD
TOMS RIVER, n. j., Oct. 13.-The
State closed it's case this afternoon In
the trial Of Mrs. Ivy Giberson. charged
with the murder of her husband. Will
lam, in their home at Lakehurst on
August IA. and the court was adj
journed until next Monday morning.
The defense expects to put Mrs
Giberson on the stand Tuesday or
Wednesday. Later the State will
offer a rebuttal. IT has been reported
that wilfred II. Jayne, Prosecutor. Is
saving much important testimony for
this time.
The last witnesses for the State were
County Detective Ellis Parker and
Harold A. Ga Nun of The Bronx,
author of some of the letters to Mrs.
Giberson which have been admitted
as evidence.
Parker testified regarding his con-
versations with Mrs. Giberson at her
home and in the county jail here. He
said she told him she hoped he would
investigate the crime and find the
guilty persons. He also said he lad
told Mrs. Giberson that they had found
the gun with which her husband was
killed. and that she said:
well. you won't find my finger
prints on the gun"
Mrs. Potter Giberson. mother of the
dead man. also was a witness Tor the
State. She testified that her daughter
in-law. about a month before the shoot
ing. had said to her:
There is no justice at Toms River
Any one can commit murder and get
clear"
Ga Nun said he had known Mrs. Glib
erson while working at Lakehurst, and
that he had regarded her more as a
mother. He denied there was anything
out of the way between them. adding:
''She mothered the whole lot of us In
the Pittsburgh bungalow. short dis
lance from her home. She was teach
ing Mrs. Thompson. who lived there.
she had the entire party of five OF us
up to her home for supper"
Ga Nun said that after he left Lake
hurst he heard from Mrs. Giberson and
wrote to her. She wrote at least once
q week. he said, but he did not hear
from her between September. 1921. and
August. 1922. This. he said. was be-
cause her letters were becoming a bit
too friendly. and he feared that she was
beginning TO regard him too seriously.
He asked his wife to write and tell Mrs.
Giberson to quit writing. which Mrs.
Ga Nun did.
The testimony was that Mrs. Giber-
son stopped writing after receiving two
letters from Mrs. Ga Nun. the last OF
which told her she was disgrace to
womanhood." One of the letters from
Mrs. Ga Nun to Mrs. Giberson was
offered in evidence.

George J. Ryan, president of the Boar1

that schools having fewer pupils than
last year are having larger percentase
OF part time students. Is preparing fig
ures to refute charges of increase IN
part time. according to Mayor Hylan.
The Mayors forecast of new view
Of the part time situation was made at
yesterdays budget hearing OF the Board
OF Estimate. Mrs. Anna w. HochfeldeT
representing the United Parents Asso-
citation of Greater New York. just had
asked the board for additional school
buildings to reduce the number of part
time sessions.
The part time is not as great as re
ported by the Gary-Nudd- Rockefeller

Rockefeller. 1t became necessary to
repeal the pay-as-you-go law to build
more schools.

thought the request over. and informed
Mrs. Kalish:
You have made favorable impress

other matrons."
Mrs Kalish said few of the matrons

FOOD In NEW YORK
COSTS LITTLE LESS
Drop in Retail Prices Here Not
SO Great as in Z. s.
Average.
NOW BACK TO 1917. MARK
Bureau of Labor Figures Show
Decline in Table Expenses
Since 1920.
NOW BACK TO 1917. MARK

The cost of running the family table
IN New York city is gradually becom-
ing less. The average retail prices of
foodstuffs declined 3 per cent. from July
10. 1921. to the same date this year.
According to figures received by the
bureau of labor statistics from retail
dealers through monthly reports. made
public yesterday. the average cost of
food throughout the country has de-
creased appreciably during the year
and the cost of living. in this respect, is
slowly becoming less burdensome.
Meats Are Cheaper.
Sirlon steak. the average retail price
of which was 400 cents a pound the
country over July 10. 1921 had dropped
on the same date this year to 1872. Rib
roasts showed a decline of from 1913 to
2S.6 cents. while bacon dropped from
az to 400. Poultry, too. exhibited en-
couraging symptoms. Hens, which re-
tailed for 3s.S cents in the summer of
1871, cost the consumer but 357 this
year. Milk declined from IA cents a
quart to 12.s, and butter dropped from
1915 cents pound to 45.7 Eggs also
came down from 1913 cents dozen to
So. There was but little change In flour
prices. the average retail quotations for
the two years being SIS and 5.2, respec-
lively.
A table OF index numbers for food
prices. made public by the bureau.
shows a decrease since July. 1890, to
July this year. when they were APP
proximately the same as in April, 1917.
The drop In average retail prices in
New York city is not as great as in the
country at large, although the tendency
toward lower prices is apparent-even
here. Sirloin steak purchased by New
York housekeepers showed but frac-
ticnal decline from July last year to
July this. The average retail price here
in that month 1921 was 43.4, as against
43.l three months ago. The saving
scarcely becomes apparent in the weekly
food budget, although many such frac-
tional gains have taken place. and in
the aggregate are by no means incon-
sequential.
Prices a Little Less Here.
New Workers. who bought round steak
for an average of 42.5 cents a pound in
July. 1921, paid only 41.9 during that
month this year. Rib roasts dropped
from SO to 35.s and bacon fr ,in 4OS to
3S.b. Ham, on the contrary. advanced
from 54.4 cents a pound to 81. Hens
showed more encouraging symptoms and
declined from Ais to 37.5. Canned
salmon. which brought 3S cents a pound
in the New York retail markets in July,
1921, cost the housewife but 30.1 on an
average at the same time this year. Milk
remained stationary at II cents quart,
but butter dropped from AIS TO 45, and
strictly fresh eggs from 53.4 TO 40 cents
a dozen.
Bread. which averaged 10.1 in July
last year. could be purchased last July
In this city for 81. Flour showed de-
crease of from 81 to 5.4 Most other
articles in daily use on dining tables
showed similar fractional declines.

Wanamaker Clothing is
Built up to specifications
not d0lUn to price

1t is easy to tear down, but it requires months
and sometimes years for skilled engineers and
workmen to construct a great building.
For many years we have been building up
Wanamaker, clothing First like the architect,
we made the plan-the specifications. Rigid
even in the beginning, these specifications have
grown constantly more exacting, until today they
represent the plans for long wearing, shape-hold-
ing clothing of highest style and quality
The specifications definitely determined, we
then build UP to them, not down to price We
use all-wool, long-wool fabrics, design the gar
ments carefully and tailor them with panstak-
ing craftsmanship.
The more carefully building is constructed.
the more difficult the task of it's destroyers. And
SO the wrecking- time, friction, and
rain-make but little Roadway with Wanamaker
Clothing because it is soundly built according to
plan.
"jerry-built' house-a house built hurried
ly and carelessy of inferior materals-is poor
investment. Although at first it pleases the eye,
soon the frame warps, the ceilings crack, and the
floors sag--the house becomes shabby because
built down to price, not up to specifications.
So with clothing. In the suit or overcoat
which is built down to price, the pockets easily
rip, the seams give at points of stress the fabric
shrnks and fades the fit and style soon lose their
character.
All Wanamaker clothing is built up to rigid
