NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J., Oct. 10.
Pearl Bahmer, the 15-year-old girl
who Raymond Schneider said Clifford
Hayes thought he was slaying, with
her stepfather, when according to
Schneider's story, Hayes fired four
bullets into the bodies of the 'Rev.
Edward Wheeler Hall and Mrs. Elean
or Reinhardt Mills was jailed today.
Pearl was not officially jailed in
connection with the Hall-Mills case.
The charge against her which she
calmly admitted was incorrigibil
ity. Prosecutor Strieker of Middle
sex county, who has been active in
the investigation of the Hall-Mills
case, appeared personally against
her. County Judge Daly departed j
from the rule of secrecy in juvenile j
cases and threw his court open, be
' cSuse he declared the people "have
a right to know why she is being put
B in jail."
NEW BRUNSWICK, N J., Oct. 10.
Clifford Hayes, 19, who was arrest
ed yesterday charged with the first
degree murder of the Rev. Edward
Wheeler Hall and his choir leader,
Mrs. Eleanor Reinhardt Mills, was
scheduled for arraignment in court
today. With his friend, Raymond
Schneider, 21, arrested as a material
witness Hayes spent the night in the
county jail.
Hayes wfis held incommunicado
while Schneider was subjected to an
other long questioning during the
night by detectives in an effort to
.obtain further details. Hayes has
steadfastly denied the allegation
made by Schneider that the double
slaying was a case of mjstaken
identity, the intended victims being
15 year old Pearl Bahmer and her
stepfather, Nicholas Bahmer.
Officials at the local prosecutor's
office said tha't .Schneider was not
mentally strong.
Bahmer took exceptiin to the
story Pearl told yesterday that he
was intoxicated on the night of the
murder. He declared that he was
perfectly sober and was sitting on his
porch when Pearl asked him to take
a walk with her. They stopped at a
store, he said, and had" ice cream.
.During their walk, Bahmer asserted.
Pearl complained to him of Schneid-"
ers attentions. He told her he had
bought a .45 caliber pistol and that
she need not worry, as he would pro
tect her.
Pearl said today she was sure
Clifford Hayes did not kill the minis
ter and Mrs. Mills.
"If they take me before the prose
cutor again," she said,"I'll tell a real
story."
Charlotte Mills, the 16 year old
daughter of the murdered woman
said.
"You will never make me believe
that Clifford Hayes shot my mother
and Mr. Hall. I know Ray Schneider,
and I don't think he has sense enough
to. do it."
She said she wanted to go away
from New Brunswick and make new
friends. She had has many pro
posals of marriage since her moth
er's death, she said, but sue turned
them down. "I am going to form a
man haters' club," she added.
Mrs. Raymond Schneider, when
seen at her home in South River
near here, said her husband had often
threatened her. She claimed he of
ten carried a gun.
BALLOT BOX REVOLT
ADVOCATED BY BORAH
MERIDIAN, Idaho, Oct. 10. Sena
tor William E. Borah demanded "a
political revolution conducted at
the ballot box" in the keynote Bpeech
of his Idaho campaign last night. He
told an audience of 500 people how
taxes in every community, every state
and the nation have leaped since 1915.
He declared the situation is making
bolshevists. He insisted that "figjit
for fiscal relief is a fight for the Amer
ican home," and urged upon the peo
ple the necessity of taking into their
own hands the instrumentalities of
power in politics." The senator laid
down this program of relief:
Add nothing to our present bur

Bring home every American sol
dier in Europe.
Reduce the army to 100,000 men.
Collect the interest on the national

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J., Oct. 9
Clifford Hayes, 18 years old,
admirer of Pearl Bahmer, who found
the bodies of the Rev. Edward
Wheeler- Hall and Mrs. Eleanor
Reinhardt Mills, choir singer, was ar
rested today and formally charged
with first degree murder for the slay
ings. Raymond Schneider, who was with
the Bahmer girl when the bodies
were found, was held as a material
witness. Prosecutors Beekman and
Strickler of Middlesex and Somerset
counties say Schneider signed a 300
word statement accusing Hayes of
the crime.
Main Was Trailed.
According to Schneider's state
ment, the double slaying was the
result of mistaken identity. He had
gone ""out with Hayes on the night
of the murders, he said, trailing a
man who accompanied the Bahmer
girl. Seeing a couple beneath a
crab apple " tree, he said. Hayes
opened fire.
Hayes when confronted with
Schneider as the latter retold his
story exclaimed:
"He lsr a liar."
According to Schneider, who ad
mits he is in love with the Bahmer
girl, he was standing on a street cor
ner with Hayes and Leo Kauffman.
' when they saw the girl pass with her
stepfather, Nicholas Bahmer. He was
jealous of the stepfather, he said and
when he told the others of his sus
picions they agreed to follow the pair.
They searched first through Buc
cluech -park where Kauffman left
them. Schneider and-Hayes then
proceeded to the nearby Phillips
farm. About 11 o'clock Schneider said
Sale of Booze Is
Prohibited Upon
American Ships
WASHINGTON, D. C. Oct. 6. All
vessels. American and foreign own
ed, are prohibited from having liquor
on board in American territorial wat
ers under an interpretation of the pro
hibition amendment and the enforce
ment act handed down today by the
department of justice. t
Moreover, the transportation or sale
of intoxicants on American craft,
wherever operated, was held to be
inhibited. ,
America territorial waters were con
strued to include those not only with
in the three-mile limit of continental
United States, but also those within
the same limit of the Phillippines, tha
Hawaiian islands, Porto Rico, the Vir
gin islands and Alaska. The law
would not apply in the Panama canal
zone, as that zone is specifically ex
empted by the statute itself.
So far as American ships are con
cerned, the sale or transportation of
liquor will cease at once, or as soon
as those vessels reach their home
ports. In the case of foreign ships the
decision will become operative as soon
as the necessary regulations can be
prepared and promulgated by the
treasury department.
William Lovelace and "Kid" Wil

the Willamette river, according to re
ports received last night by the Clack
amas county sheriffs office.
The men were seen Monday night
at a house on the outskirts of Wood
burn, which they entered and robbed.
Cooking utensils and food were taken.
The family was absent and the men
were recognized as they fled for the
brush.
The avenues vof escape are being
guarded. Three penitentiary guards
are stationed at Oregon City.
The plan of escape, according to the
story said to have been revealed by
a third member of the party who plan
ned to escape with them but did not
leave, was to ''lay out" in the brush
for about five days until the guards
had been called in and therf"make a
run for the north.
The .avenues to excape from the
north and south are completely guard
ed, the officials believe.

How to remove stains from silks
and other materials successfully is
explained by Miss Emma Skinner
"Weld, instructor in household admin
istration at the Oregon Agricultural
colege. Most stain removers are al
kalies or acids and make holes in
linen and silk although they bleach
the stain.
"The main essential is to prevent
the ring forming during the process
of removing the stain," said Miss
Weld. "Even profession are not al
ways sure of being successful in re
moving stains and preventing rings."
Natural silks such as pongee and
china silks that are not weighted to
make them appear heavier, can be
washed in warm water with a mild
high grade .laundry soap to remove
light stains.
Pure grease stains on cloth may be
sponged off with chloroform, ether or
gasoline. A clean cloth pad should
be placed beneath the stain to absorb
the grease as it comes through.
Sponging with alcohol in a rotary mo
tion to avoid formation of rings will
remove grease stains frm kid s'ippers.
Soaking in sour milk is the best
remedy for ink stains, T,he commer
cial ink eradicator can be used suc
cessfully on wash -materials. Oxalic
acid is excellent to remove stains and
can be used on silks if greatly dilut
ed. Indai ink is almost impossible to
remove from cloth. However,, if
grease, crisco, or lard is put on white
wash cloth when the stain is fresh
and the c'-oth washed in kerosene or
in a thin soap paste, most of the
stain will come out. A bar of mild
soap, shaved and melted in a gallon
of water, makes" an excellent soap
paste.
C. A. El well, charged with the set
ting of the alleged incendiary fire
which two years ago burned the Jen
nings Lodge postoffice, will be given
another trial in Clackamas county.
The appeal from the decision In the
circuit court, was sustained by the
state supreme court yesterday In opin
ion written by Judge McCort. The
case was renanded for retrial.
The rulings of Circuit Judge J. U.
Campbell were reversed. It was un
derstood that -exception was taken to
the rulings of Judge Campbell touch
ing the amount of corroborative testi
mony necessary or allowable as evi
dence In a case where an alleged con
fession had been signed.
Elwell confessed to the arson charge
but later repudiated the confession
saying that it had been secured un
der duress, the officers influencing
him to sign by stating that they had
sufficient evidence against Mrs. El
well to convict her. Mrs. Elwell sus
tained permanent injuries in the fire.
The Elwell home was in the store in
which the postoffice was located. The
apartment was on the upper floor.
Elwell served a term of one year
in the Multnomah county jail after
conviction for a shortage in the gov
ernment postal funds ,at Jennings
Lodge. Official notice of the findings
of the supreme court have not been
received here.

Keep Food Covered
Food which is protected from dust
and from flies will keep much longer
than that which is exposed. It is the
action of the bacteria which brings
about spoilage, and they have a pois
onous refuse in the food they occupy.
If a mouse jumped into a dish of food,
we would see him in time to get him
out, or he would be' frightened at us,
and run for his life. Not so with the
germs which are far more dangeous
than he. The fly, which has just crawl
ed over your neighbor's garbage- pile,
or has walked through the dirt of
-the street, will climb all over the food
you are about to put into your mouth,
and he wi'.l not stop to wipe his feet
on your door mat but brins along
masses of germs clinging to the
hairs of his six legs.
This is not pleasant to talk about,
but the very revulsion of it makes it
the more deserving of consideration.
Though we may be due to "eat a
peck of dirt before we die." we do not
want to consume a bushel.
If housewives, who are the purchas
ers of food, 'would call the' attention
of the merchants to this matter when
they see food sitting uncovered,, it
would help all of us. It is a constant
temptation to the merchant to display

that the hand of suspicion will be

A story which was investigated to
night is to the effect that a promin
ent member of Hall's congregation,
who sings bass in the choir of the
church of St. John the Evangelist, of
which Hall was pastor and Mrs. Mills
a choir member, was at the scene of
the double murder on the Thursday
night of its commission. It is told
that the man, who is married, had
taken a young woman of the church
for ride; that they were interrupted
by the sounds of shots.
The man was so excited over the
occurrence -that he was unable to
go to his place of business next day.
He will be asked whether he was the
person who removed from the Phil
lips farm a blood-stained basket, in
which were some rags, also stained
with blood, and a copy of a New
ETrunswick paper, dated September 14,
the day the murdered paid left their
respective homes. The basket was
seen about 125 feet from where the
bodies were found, but disappeared
during the excitement of the day the
tragedy was discovered.
