NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FILIPINO URGES ISLANDS' FREEDOM Pedro Blanco Says Natives Can Now Govern Selves i | the That the Philippine nds are ready and capable of themselves, was the theme address given by Pedro Blanco, Yilipino, to the members of the Ro- | tary club at noon today Mr. Blanco took up the objections , which have been made to Philippine independence and pointed out that these, while exceptions and not in- dicative of the actual conditions existing in the islands In general, also are found in the same relative situation in America. He said the Filipino has opportunity to study Amer tory and the hiographies of great | Americans for the past 28 years and added that continued pate n.||Am\ 0( the United States towards Philippines would be dvmnuum Io both. He said the Filipino realizes the greatness of American ideals but intimated that those who voted | against the Philippine resolution made themselves conspicuous ex- ceptions to those ideals. He claimed that the natives are in better shape | today to govern themselves from an economic standpoint than were the American colonies in 1776, He referred to the rges that Philippine independence would | make those islands a prey to Japan | by saying it would be the only| Christian nation in the Far Fast, and that Australia and England would be | greatly interested in secing that | Japan did not get a foothold In the | Philippines. Thé members were treated to apples, significant of Apple week, by Elijah Rogers and by individual Jars of honey by LeRoy Reddick. Henry Rowe was admitted as a| * new member. He was welcomed into | the club by Rev. W. H. Alderson, who pointed out that clvic clubs are | not simply places were men can go to “escape home cooking” or to try to sing, or just hold weekly meet- governing | of an had an n his- ings but that they have an {deal, that i of service to others. | C.

Heard Pistol Shots On September 14, 1922, the night |of the murders, Mrs. Hoag lived about 200 yards from the crabappls tree where the bodies of Dr. Hall and Mrs. Mills were found. About ten o'clock that night, she said, she heard four plstol shots fired. Mrs. Hoag then testified that about a year after the murders, land after she had moved to the Phillips' farmhouse, where Rev. Dr. Hall and Mrs. Mills are sald to have met, Henry Stevens came upon the porch and asked to be directed to Rarltan, a nearby town. “I told him I didn't know where | Raritan was, but directed him to Easton avenue,” Mrs. Hoag said. Henry Was Hiking “He told me he was hiking, and didn’t want to go on a street car. But he way immaculately dressed and T could see that he had not been hiking. I never saw a man so excited .He was very*nervous. “I had my dog and I knew T was safe. He told me he had been in| Florida and then suddenly he said: ‘There was a tragedy here, wasn't there?* “I then jumped up and ran in the house and as he was walking down the road, he almost col- lapsed. Under cross examination defense counsel brought out that it was not one, but two years after the mur- der that Henry Stevens came to Mrs. Hoag’s home. When asked how she came to learn prior to see- ing Menry Stevens that he was the ! man who came to her house, Mrs. | Hoag replied that she had seen his | picture in newspapers and thought they resembled the man. There wers hundreds of curious coming to the Phillips' farm, Mrs. Hoag sald, and all of them except this man were chased away by dogs. the Different Language Speakers in Church Rev. Willlam H.

They wero followed by a pho- tographer and Charlottle Milly, the daughter of the murdered woman. Investigators sald Mrs. Gibson, a pig raiser who claims to have been nearby when the Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall and Mrs. Mills were slain in an abandoned orchard, would be the first witness to take the | stand today. Alexander Simpson, speclal prosecutor, sald however, that Mrs. Gibson became il last | [night and it was doubtful whether | she could tell her story right away. Girl Identifies Letters Mrs. Gibson sat near Charlotte |Mills during most of the session. When on the stand the girl identified a package of letters her mother had written to Dr. Hall. She also de- clared that Ellis Parker, a Burling- |ton county detective, had attempted to get her to say 1 r father was not | {at home on the night of the murder. | The father, James Mills, sexton of Dr. Hall's church, sat placidly chew- ing gum while she testified. Mr. |Simpson claims to have evidence that | |Parker was working with Henry Stevens to fasten the crime on Mills. Surprise Witnesses The two surprise witnesses were John 8. Dixon, a Wall street account- ant, and his wife. They. testified that about two hours before the time the murder {8 believed to have been committed, Willle Stevens appeared at the front door of their home and asked to be directed to a home for aged men, about 500 yards from the abandoned orchard. Stevens claims he was Hall's home at that time.
