Near the middle of the block he noticed a crowd of young men.

They were standing in front of 105-29 77th home of Louis Lanza's parents. Lanza, Murray knew, was wanted for the killing of Morris Gingold, in Manhattan; a $25,000 jewelry robbery at 535 5th Manhattan, and for failing to report to the parole officer after having been paroled from Elmira Reformatory, where he was sent about a year ago on a robbery charge. Murray had seen a picture of Lanza at headquarters and thought he recognized him. First Circled Block Murray circled the block, came back and stopped in front of the group. He stepped out of the car and, looking the man he was certain was Lanza, called to him.

"Hey, Louis. Come here a minute!" Lanza came toward the detective. Murray flashed his badge and told Lanza he was under arrest. As Murray put his Lidge back into his pocket, Lanza started to back away. Murray caught him by the wrist with his left hand and Lanza struggled and shouted something in Italian.

Murray shouted to him to stop and fired two shots in the air, Lanza kept going. Murray claims James Lanza tried to disArm him, but he managed fire three shots at Louis Lanza as the latter was opening the door. He reported that he was sure he hit Lanza in the arm and possibly in the chest, for he saw Lanza raise his left hand to his chest. The Lanza house is built with a high basement SO that it stands flush with the street grade, but high above the surrounding fields which are all below street grade.

In the rear are the yard of houses on the next block, all built at the lower grade. Murray managed to get loose and started the house after the fugitive. He followed a trail of blood spots to side door, out the side door and down a wooden stairway into a side lot and back to a fence. There the trail was lost.

April 4-For some time Oliver C. Strickland looked forward to June, when he would be able to set aside his letter carrier's pack, which he had carried for 25 years, in all kinds of weather. But Strickland failed see the materialization of that dream, death intervening.

An attack of pneumonia, suffered a week ago ended in his death last evening at his home, 25 Frost Road, here. Born in Bayport, L. Mr. Strickland with his family moved to Far Rockaway as a young boy.

O. P. Men Control Patchogue, L. April 4-With the Republicans holding control of the village board by a margin of one vote, the decidinre vote being, held Mayor Foster, expected that the village board will reappoint all of the present Republican officials of the village when it organizes tonight for the year. Will Ask Pay Cut At the same time, Mayor Foster and the six village trustees will be asked to serve without pay for the year and to make reductions averaging 10 percent in the pay of the various appointive officers and employes.

This salary cut is sponsored by the Patchogue Taxpayers Association as an economy measure, but it is highly doubtful that it will be favorably acted on by the village trustees. At the present time the Mayor receives $600 and the trustees $300 a year, half the legal amount allowed them. is known that the board members, for the most part, are opposed cutting the pay of village employes. They take the stand that in the past this class of worker has been underpaid in comparison with most other workers and that now the pay of the street department employes and policemen is averaging with those of other similar lines. The officials whose appointments will expire tonight and who are expected to be renamed are Village Clerk John P.

Losee who has held office for six years, Village Counsel Douglass W. Skidmore who has held office for four years, Assessor Samuel Smith who has been in office for three years and Street Commissioner Robert Still who has held the post for six years. Democrats' Attitude Uncertain Whether the Democrats will propose any candidates or whether they will seek a division of the offices is not yet known. Last year, when Democrats were elected for the first time they sought to put a Democrat, Arthur Hawkins, defeated candidate for sheriff last Fall, in as assessor but were outvoted by the Republicans. Henry Reith, appointed village treasurer last month, is assured of reappointment.

The chief issue of the last campaign three weeks ago was control of the village board and the Republicans by their victory will continue this control and they made clear that they would support the reappointment of all the present officials on the grounds that their efficiency had been proven. Nevertheless the Taxpayers Association contends that certain changes should be made in clerk's office, This year, the police, who in the past have worried from year to year about their positions, will have nothing to be concerned about as their jobs were made permanent during the past year, so that, their reappointment will not necessary.
