CLUES FOR THE POLICE
Suspicious Men Seen in the
Neighborhood-City and
County at Work

SOUTH AMBOY. July 3o-The po-
lice of this city are today investigat-
ing one of the biggest private house
robberies that has ever been COM
mitted here. The robbery occurred
some time between last Wednesday
night and early Sunday morning, ut
the home of Mrs. John oliver, at 211
Main street.
Mrs. Oliver left home on Wednes-
day on a visit and returned on Sun
day morning to find that her house
had been entered by thieves while
she was away. and every bit of the
family jewelry, including a valuable
watch which belonged to Mr.. Oliver,
who is now dead a number of valua-
BILE dresses and other clothes and her
daughters wedding gown taken.
The theft was reported to Chief
of Police Thomas Gleason, who i'm

Mrs. Oliver Is of the opinion that
there was woman among the
thieves, due to the fact that the ex-
pensive dresses were taken. Mrs.
divers daughter, Mrs. Frank Ben
son Leedon, who was married on
July 19, had left her wedding dress
at the Main street home and that
was also taken. The closets in every

A arlge number of wedding pres
ents. which included many sterling

through the entire house, while the
story is confirmed by several neigh
bors who claim to have seen an un-
usual light in the cellar of the Oliver
nome on Thursday or Friday night.
Entrance to the house was gained

DEFENSE DAY
PLANS GIVEN
Explanation Made of Plan
That Has Caused Such a
Great Controversy

WASHINGTON, July 80:-Plans
for the observance of September IL
as Defense Day, a project which has
become a subject of much public
controversy, are laid down in detail
in instructions sent by the War De-
partment to the chiefs of all its
branches and to the commanding
generals of all corps areas.
AS made public by the department
for the first time the instructions say
that the general plan for the day has
two main objectives, namely, patri-
otic demonstrations and test mobil-
ization." By way of preface, 1t is
explained that in view of extensive
field exercises which for economic
reasons cannot be held during the
present calendar year the secretary
of war has decided to initiate for
continental United States mobiliza-
ton demonstration which will serve
as an occasion for assem- blages and
ceremonies involving public manifes-
tations of loyalty and practical patri-
otism.''
"The plans and the decentralized
authority to be exercised by corps
area commanders and state officials

the public realizing the methods of
operation.
'It Is the purpose of the War De-
partment to prescribe the general
plan only leaving to the command
ing generals of corps areas and the
District of Washington, and to chiefs
of branches in connection with activ-
tiles under their control, the detailed
MI
general plan which has two main
detectives, namely: patriotic demon
strations and test mobilization"
The commanders were directed to
take up the matter confidentially
with state and local authorities as to
appointment of civilian committees,
as of the date the instructions were
issued, April 26 last. The civilian
committees, 1t was added, would
represent state and local agencies
which would be used in procure
ment under either a volunteer or Sc
lective service system" of the men
necessary to fill up the ranks of all
branches of the Army.
1t also was pointed out, however,
that it may not be expedient in
some localities" to bring about this
voluntary assembly of men of mill
tary age, and the instructions added
that such an effort SHOULD not be
undertaken in any territory without
the approval of the local mobiliza-
tion committee"
There would be no objection to a
surplus Of personnel being obtained
for any unit. 1t was said, and citi-
zens thus volunteering would be in
corporated in military units for the
day of the test without regard to
uniform and equipment"

SHIP MODERNIzATION
CONTROVERSY OPENED

WASHINGTON, July 80 (By
The Associated Press Great
Britain's representations against
the ship modernlzation program
of the American Navy may bring
to a head at last a controversy
that has stirred naval circles
here almost continuously since
the arms conference.
State Department officials de-
clined today to comment on the
London announcements of the
British move, or to indicate
what the policy of this govern
ment would be. They gave the
impression that the question was
one of such importance that a
very careful study of the whole
subject would be necessary be-
fore the United States made its
reply to London.
A ship modernization program
was recommended to congress
by President Harding i'm Decem-
Der, 1922. In an accompanying
memorandum, Secretary DENLY
declared the work proposed was
of "major and vital importance"
i'm national defense, and 1t was
pointed out by naval officers
during consideration of the
question on congress that many
of the first line British fighting
ships already had gun ranges
comparable to those requested
for the American navy.

SHOTSF|RED At
REF0RMAT0RY
One of Wounded Likely to Die
Police Called-Quar-
rel Is Cause

RAILWAY, July 3o:--Three pris-
oners were shot, one perhaps fatally.
and a guard was injured in a free
for-all fight or riot at the Railway
Reformatory, state institution,
early this afternoon. A call has been
sent to nearby police stations for as
sistance, and DIR. Moore, in charge at
the institution, has made application
for ten state troopers.
The riot started in the dining room
shortly after l o'clock, believed to
be the result of an argument between
a white prisoner and q negro pris-
oner, a day or SO ago. Trouble
spread quickly throughout the In
stitution as the prisoners apparently
have a great deal of freedom about
this time, lunch hour.
When rioting became general
throughout the institution buildings
DIR. Moore had the police stations at
Railway and Woodbridge called for
assistance, and at the same time a
call was sent for the state troopers.
The troopers will be kept on the
scene until the trouble Is entirely
settled.
A day or so ago the negro pris-
oner In question passed a remark to
a white prisoner which the latter re-
sented, and a fist fight Is said to have
followed. Sides were taken and for
a time a race riot was threatened.
DIR. Moore appa; emily settled the
trouble to the satisfaction of all
concerned, but today the trouble
broke out anew. Reports are to the
effect that 1t Is not race riot. but
a free-for- r-all battle or riot.
Trouble Still On
AT 1888 this afternoon the rioting
was still on and DR.. Moore, in charge
of the guards and police at the re-
formatory. warned the prisoners that
if the fighting did not stop, tear gas
bombs would be used In an effort to
disperse the rioters, and IL this fall
ed to end the trouble the police and
guards would be ordered to shoot
into the crowd.
Chief Smith, of the local police
department. received a telephone
call for assistance to quell the riot
at the Railway Reformatory.
The police chief and seven men
hurried to the reformatory to join
with the guards in an effort to quell
the disturbance. Police Sergeant
Conger was on duty at headquarters
and had more men in readiness in
case they were needed.
