NEW REVELATIONS
 IN HALL MILLS CASE
Evidence Not Revealed Heretofore May Be Presented This Week

New Brunswick, N. J., Dec. 2o.-- The investigation of the Hall-Mills murder k still the matter of chief concern to the authorities in this city and Somerset county, and they are both determined to bring the perpe- trators to justice. Every indication of this Is shown, particularly in the charge to the new December grand jury by Supreme Court Justice Charles w. Parker, and also in the fact that the Somerset authorities have found important evidence. which will be presented to the new jury.
 One official predicted that the en- tire case would be thrown wide open by disclosures to come. There Is req son to believe that at least two sets of investigators have important data and the attitude of the jury and the charge by Justice Parker substan- tiated the belief.
 "We have been able to accomplish more In the way of concrete evidence of importance in the last two weeks than was accomplished during the preceding two months and a half," an official said yesterday. This evil dence Is more definite. more satisfac- tory and much more valuable than any we had when the case went be- fore the September panel of the grand jury.
 Promises New Evidence.
 "The evidence of which speak will not be presented this week nor probably next, due to tho holidays. It wilE be ripe for presentation within the next two or three weeks, and then we are almost certain of action. This evidence has all been unearthed by Somerset county officials"
 The entire charge made by Justice Parker to the new panel in Somerville was devoted to the Hall-Mills case. He indicated that the routine busi- ness would not take more than day or two to handle, and that the re- mainder of the session could be de- voted to an exhaustive study of the murder case. He pointedly stated that it will eventually be cleared up.
 You need not be confined by what the prosecutors bring to you, but can go further and inquire at length into the case, calling for any witness or evidence required" he said. The in- dication is that the last grand jury found the evidence presented to them insufficient for the return of an in- dictment. This. however, does not end the case. The crime is unpun- ished and in murder cases there is no limit fion nlaced or fhe lime far in, vestigation or return of indictments. That can be done by this or any sub sequent grand jury" he said. But in our judgment there is no absolute need for fevered haste in discussing

 Finally he secured enough money with which to come to this city and upon arriving went to hls old boarding house and there under date of Oc- tober 24 was a check for $324 for back compensations and two other checks for $lo each for two months compen- sation. He explained that the owner of the boarding house cannot read English and for that reason did not forward the mall to him in Maine.

 Danger Of Cotton Whiskcrs.
 ''If Santa Claus K to be present at the celebration. persuade him to avoid the use of long cotton whiskers Ills costume should be partially fire proofed by spraying upon it a solu- ton of waterglass, obtainable at any drug store.
 If anyones clothing catches fire, he should be promptly rolled in rug or woolen cloth in order to smother the flames. Keep the flames away from the face.
 Merchants should free their places of business from rubbish and paper aecumuations. and should insist that employees keep all exits clear. It is difficult to keep stock-rooms tidy during the busy holiday season, realize, but it is well worth the extra effort
 Finally, let every individual do his utmost not to spoil the merriment of the day. No one wishes to hear the chimes of Christmas converted into the jangle of the fire alarm"

SAFETY APPEAL BY
 HEAD 0F FIRE DEPT.
Chiel Noble Tells How to Avoid
 Fires on Christmas

Chief William J. Noble Of the fire department has issued n warning to the people of this city, In regard to means that should be employed dur ing the holiday season to prevent fires With 50 much inlammable stuff used in decorations for the Yule- tide, the head of the department has noted several points that will be of assistance if carried out. They are as follow:
 About this time of year the chill dren--and a good many grown-ups. loo, only they won't admit it---are impatiently counting the days until Christmas. Above all other days, Christmas should be an occasion of universal cheer. It should be- and yet, in many households. 1t is likely to become time of tragedy because of death from fire, if care is not excr- cised. That is q grim thought to as- eociate with the Ynletide, know. and hope sincerely that people will un- derstand my position. am speaking because 1t is my plain duty to do so, especially since my own experience Is backed up by some statistics received yesterday from The National Board of Fire Underwriters, from which learn that an average of one in every 10 Christmas fires last year resulted in a fatality. Moderate carefulness will not detract one bit from the fullest enjoyment of the day.
 For "Safc and Sane" Trees.
 The Christmas tree is an old and beautiful symbol, and one that should be preserved. But it becomes none the less symbolic when it is made safe; and 1t cannot even approach to safety so long as it is decked with lighted candles. If the tree must be illuminated, colored electric lights are more ornamental and usually far safer. Of course, bright light focused on the tree. in darkened room, is a safe method and gives, perhaps. the most pleasing effect.
 Tt is not only on the tree, how ever, that candles are dangerous. Placing them in windows where there are inflammable curtains and decora- tions, is extremely dangerous. All open flame lights are dangerous. I am laying emphasis on the candle, though, because of late, 1t seems to have come back into fashion-and into my fire records.
 Here are few additional precau- tions which urge the public to ob- serve, in homes, stores and elsewhere:
 Make sure that Christmas trees are securely set up, so that they will not topple over, and keep them away from heating and lighting fixtures. Use metal tinsel, flake asbestos and powdered mica for snow effects. in stead of paper clippings and cotton. Smokers should be extremely careful with matches and smoking material while near trees and decorations. Evergreens should be removed imme- diately after Christmas before they have completely dried out.
 Avoid toys requiring alcohol, gaso- line or kerosene for their operation, and also flimsy motion picture ma chimes, using infiammable films. Low priced electrical playthings, too, should sbe tabooed, since they often are effectively wired and frequently have insecure. dangerous connections;

CHRISTMAS IN NAVY
All Men Who Can Be Spared From Ships Arc to Re Given Furloughs Over the Holidays.


 New York. Dec. 2o.--The navy de- partment has issued orders to all ship, and stations that the Christmas holi. days shall be observed in the most appropriate manner Leaves and fur. loughs are to be granted to all the men that can be spared without i'm pairing the maintenance and efficien. cy of ships in active commission These orders will enable about 12,00o New England boys to visit their home, during the next 15 days.
 Christmas will be real merry to many in the navy this year as 116s petty officers will be made and dated January 1st. In addition to these about 200 permanent appointments as chief petty officer will be issued a. Of the same date. Many new chief petty officers also are to be made to fill the vacancies caused by the chiefs retired since July.
 The navy boys in foreign countries are certainly envied, at this time of the year especially. Weather reports indicate that 1t is no colder in other places but much "wetter.'
 Although very close to the holidays last week was the biggest week in the recruiting service for the past years 1079 new men were enlisted. Enlist ments of 4,800 men will expire during this month and 1t is assumed that about one-half of these men will ex- pire during this month and 1t is. as- sumed that about one-half of these men will re-enlist Small hopes are held by the recruiting service for this week, but it is expected that next week will be 8 record breaker. To meet this condition all recruiting sta. tions have orders to remain open until 3 p. m.

Ex-Premier Is Challenged To Duel by Belgian Minister

Brussels. Dec. 20, (By Associated Press) .---Minister of the Colonies Franck has challenged former Pre- mier Paul Hymans to duel. M. Tranck sent his seconds to NJ. Hymans after sharp words had passed between them in the chamber Of deputies.
 The altercation came during stor- my period of the session which fol- lowed passage of a measure making Ghent university Flemish institution. The vote is expected to bring cab inet crisis, as the liberal ministers re- gently announced they had resolved to quit the government if the bill was adopted.
 Close voting marked the end of the debate on the question, the bill being adopted by s5 votes to S3. After the chamber voted to make the univer- sity Flemish it voted on proposal that the institution should be bi-lin- gual, using the French and Flemish languages, but this was rejected.

SUPPORTS BONTS PLANS
c. o. P. Leaders Reach General Agree.
 mcnt at White House Dinner.

Washington, Jan. "A general agreement for the enactment of a bonus bill for former service men early in the present session of Con- gross, it was indicated, was reached at the conclusion of a White House dinner conference tonight between President Harding, several senators and representatives and members of the cabinet
 The plan contemplates, it is under stood, that the cost of the bonus will be defrayed if possible from receipts from the allied debts to the United States. If these are not sufficient, it was said, it was tentatively suggested that sales tax may be supported by the administration for the purpose.
 All the agreements reached tonight were provisional, it was emphasized by those who attended, and are subject to revision if a further canvass of sentiment among Republicans in the House and Senate makes it necessary
 Other items of legislation under dis cussion included the permanent tariff and the refundipg bill for the allied debt.
 The conference lasted from 7 p. m. until midnight, and those present said every possible detail of the legislative situation was discussed, although it was not the intention to draw up de- finite plans for definite program until other conferences had been held It was indicated that President Hard ing will call in other representatives and senators later to give a broader scope to the discussion. The bonus bill, it was said, probably will be brought up in the Senate in the very near future as a result of the negotia- tions tonight.

The pupils whose nouo. ,5 l...y..... and admired will always become bet ter pupils by having that honor rec ognized.
 The School Improvement Associa- tion is progressing nicely. The pupils of the school are taking a much great CT interest and part in the work this year. We believe that the s. L A. IS primarily for the pupils. We have had several debates among the pupils. The spelling, drawing and ciphering contests have been interesting and educational. At one meeting the pu pills spelled by grades. Those in the second grade were given an oral test While the other grades had a written test At another meeting the grades were paired. The second and third the fourth and fifth, and the sixth and seventh grades spelled together. The methods employed were entirely new and were enjoyed by the pupils as well as the parents. The parents would pronounce the list of words to the children and then help to grade the papers, The ninth grade pupils helped in the grading. At another meeting boys and girls entered q drawing contest by rooms. Those who entered were sent to the blackboard and allowed to draw anything they wished.
 Sometimes the meeting would be held On the playground The school has two excellent baseball teams They have named themselves the Giants and the Tanks The first big game played by these teams the ad- mission was free. The s. I. A. of which they are active members fur nished the players their baseball SUD- plies, Being in much better trim for playing at the time of their sec ond match game, the boys decided to charge an admission fee. Quite a crowd was present. The young Giants and Tanks played baseball like veterans. At the close of the game, which was ever growing in interest, the scores showed that the two teams tied. Already they are making pre- parations for heavy playing next spring

pounds. which when added to the high prices for supplies at Mccarthy makes living at Chisana rather ex- pensive, and Is one of the chief causes for retarding the development of the camp.
 Fourth. That Chisana is one of the most highly mineralized districts in Alaska, lying adjacent to and i'm mediately northeast of the world famoue Kennecott mines, and pos sessing the same mineral belt, which lies exposed in many places, but un- fortunately undeveloped for Jack of roads and transportation.
 Fifth: That according to contract we are entitled to monthly mail service between Mccarthy and Chi sana, but it is well known fact that over three months elapse sometimes between mails owing to impossible trails and glacier storms, whereas or the proposed Gulkana route mail and suplies can be transported in safety at all seasons of the year.
 Now, therefore, we earnestly re- quest you to give the matter referred to your immediate attention to the end that some, redress may be had along the lines suggested in the foregoing resolutions.

PETITION A. R. (.
 CHANGE ROUTE
 TO CHISANA

The people in the Chisana, after bucking the elements on the Rohn and Russell glaciers for years, get ting their supplies in there from Mo Carthy, finally realize that the energy expended and hardships endured are such that but few can stand the strain. YE T
 The high cost of supplies at Nc Carthy and the prohibitive freight rates charged over the glaciers, are more than the Chisanites are willing to stand for So in order to get some redress the people called a mass meeting to discuss the situa- tion, with the result that the fol- lowing resolutions were adopted;
 The residents of Chisana, in meet ing assembled this 27th day of No vember 1922, for the purpose of ar irving at some concerted action re- garding the transportation of sup plies from Gulkana, by way of the Nabesna to Chisana, and also for the purpose of petitioning the Alas ka Road Commission to construct a wagon road from Chestochena to Chisana.
 Upon motion made and seconded the following resolutions were unani- mously adopted:
 First: That, whereas, the present route for the transportation of sup plies from Mccarthy to Chisana, by way of the Scolai basin and Russell glacier during the summer season, and over the Rohn glacier during the winter months, are not feasible, and therefore must be abandoned on account of the danger and hard ships incident thereto and also the high cost of transportation.
 Second: That the only feasible route Is by way of Gulkana and Nabsana, where water grade can be, had practically all the way to Chisana, with timber and cabins en route, and where wagons and trac- tors can be used all the year round, thus eliminating the dog sled, and re- ducing freight rates to minimum
 Third: That the existing freight rates between Mccarthy and Chisana, average about twenty-five cents per

The Bonus
CFrom The wilmingto on Morning News.).

We have long since taken our
position in opposition to the bonus.
Previously we had refrained from
many comments upon this Wit
ally important question because we
believed that it was one which should
first be carefully studied by the
American public and the American
taxpayer. The time has come, how
ever, when we think every good citi-
zen, after careful consideration,
should take his stand.
It should be said in the first place
that we approach the subject with
the greatest possible kindness to
the soldier, and that the glorious
achievements Of our fellow-Dela-
wareans on the battlefelds of France
have thrilled us with pride and adj
miration. We must remember,
nevertheless, that there were large
numbers of patriotic sons Of America
whose duty was not Of such a char
acter as to bring them in contact
with the enemy, and that among
them were comprised a great num-
Der who spent their time in caring
for the sick and wounded, as well as
in sending supplies to the front.
While our country raised some
four millions Of men for the pur-
pose Of taking their part in the late
worldwide struggle, one-half, Of
them never left their native land.
They were imparting military in
struction to the unframed; they were
