NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J., Sept 29. Although developments consid ered important came in rapid suc cession today in the investigation of the slaying or Mrs. Eleanor MiUs, choir singer, and Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall near here September 15, none supplied a tangible clew as to the identitv of the slayer or slayers of the couple. A new autopsy, performed this morning on the body of Mrs. Mills, wife of Rev. Mr. Hall's church sex ton, revealed that she had been shot three times, instead of one as previously reported, and that her throat had been hacked - with a sharp instrument, presumably a knife, in what surgeons conducting the autopsy believed was an at tempt to behead her shortly after her death from the -bullet wounds. Coroner' Report Riddled. The examination of the disinterred body, performed by Dr. Runkle Hagemaa of Somerville and Dr. A I.. Smith of New Brunswick, in the presence of Coroner Long of Som erset county arid the local health officer, Dr. E. I. Cronk, established that any one , of the three bullets which entered the head of the choir singer, might have been fatal. The examiners' iindings were at variance with the report of Coroner Long,', who examined the body two weeks ago. He stated that Mrs. Mills had teen shot only once and was doubt ful that the wounds on the throat of the victim had been inflicted with a sharp instrument. Coroner Long asserted, by way of explanation, that he" had made no real autopsy on the body of Mrs. Mills, Prosecutor Beckman having instructed him not to, and that he merely. had made a cursory exami nation and submitted a report, which d'd not purport to be more than a Keneral statement on the condition rf the body. All Bullet Recovered. All of the bullets were recovered from the body of the victim by the doctors. ' One bullet had entered forehead, a second had gone through the upper right cheek, while a third had penetrated the region just forward or the right ear. It also was disclosed - that Mrs. Mills had a superficial wound, like that of a "spent" bullet, on the upper lip, and that her skull was ' fractured. The examiners, how ever, repudiated a report that had gained credence for some time to the effect that both ankles of Mrs. Mills were broken when she was found slain with the rector on the abandoned Phillips farm. A theory that the Episcopal 'rector and his . pretty choir leader were shot as they- stood face to face, possibly in an embrace, was ad vanceel by investigators as a result of the finding of the lip wound attributed to a spent bullet, to gether with the fact that one bullet entered the back of Dr. Hall's head ana emerged through the front, Slayer Probably In Frenzy. There appeared to be grounds for i he belief that this was'the first shot fired that the same bullet which killed Rev. Mr. Hall slightly wounded his companion. Then the murderer iired three more bullets into Mrs. Mills head. The frenzy of the attack for the autopsy also disclosed that Mrs. Mills' throat had been deeply gashed now leads the authorities to be lieve that the murderers may have been the work of a maniac someone witn a deranged mind or maddened by jealously and long-delayed re venge. .ine tnroat had been cut evidently after the death. It was what the s.irgeons called a "necklace wound, meaning that it was at the base of the neck, nearly encircling it. The carotia arteries, the jugular veins, me aesopnagus and the windpipe wens a-n cut mrougn. Gashes to continue the cutting around the back of the neck also were visible, but apparently had been frustrated by the failure to find a joint in the spine. Ballets Alao Crack Skull. The impact of the three bullets wnicn pierced the woman's skull caused several cracks in the skull besides the perforations through which the missiles passed. Prose cutor Beekman this afternoon was making arrangements for the tran sportation of the body of the reaor to New Brunswick for a new autopsy. Rev. Mr. Hall was buried in urooKiyn, and permission is be ing sougnt or the supreme court mere ror tne removal of the hniir. Prosecutor Beekman announced that tne siam rector's family had con sented to the autopsy. The safe deposit box of the Rev. ir. nan was opened by a repre- Bcniaiivo or lurs. itall this afternoon in the presence of representatives of the state controller and and the prosecutor's office. The 310.000 in securities which the minister in nentea irom nis mother-in-law a year ago were found in the box. There was also a policy of the- New York Life Insurance company for $1000 made in favor of the rector's aged mother. m,.sk.. in"- jrrvewWa' : PHHIHlPPESIl! : Ilitfc i jilllijjjjjjijfe Photo From Underwood.

Coal carrying railroadswere urged today by federal fuel' distributor Spens to make every effort to break all records for coal shipments dur ing the month of October. The cur rent output of coal and its move ments, M Spens pointed out in a letter to presidents of the railroads concerned, are adequate for cur rent needs of consumers, but do not permit laying up of reserves against a possible cold snap early in t winter. To date the roads have made a splendid showing in coal movement, Mr. Spens conceded, but he urged that this be bettered, even at the cost of increasing normal railroad expense and without requiring use of the interstate commerce commis sion's power to lay down compul sory systems of preference for coal movement. Mr. Spens notified the interstate commerce commission that in the judgment of his office it would be unnecessary for any restriction on present systems of reconsignment of coal in transportation. The question of bunker coal sup plies for fuel and cargo coal to for eign ships also has been taken up with Mr. Spens by representatives of foreign owners and governments concerned, and an understanding reached that for the present such vessels will be expected to stow coal In American ports only to the quan tities necessary to get them into foreign ports. State fuel distributing organiza tions set up since the appearance of an emergency in coal supply have got in touch with the federal or ganization in a number of ways, it was indicated through an official summary. Several states of the norttiwest have opened a central office at St. Paul, through which arrangements have been made to supervise coal movement from the Lake Superior docks and a meeting with dock operators and the' federal agency has been arranged to formulate a policy with reference to prices of coal destined to Minnesota, Wiscon sin and Dakota consumers. felling me.

TS GET S75.0GD VANCOUVER, B. C, CITY PAY ROLL IS TAKEN. Messengers Held Up and Robbed on Way From Bank to Mu nicipal Building. VANCOUVER, B. G, Sept. 29. Three unmasked bandits , shortly after 10 o'clock this morning held up F. P. Schooley, city paymaster, and Robert -Armstrong, city hall employe, and robbed them of the municipal payroll, comprising $75, 000 in currency. The men escaped after a spectacular automobile chase through downtown streets. Armstrong and Schooley were re turning from the Bank of Montreal to the city hall with the payroll, and had reached a point within 25 feet of the city hall entrance when he men sprung at them, ordering Arm strong, who was carrying a satchel containing the money, to "drop it quick." "I did not drop the bag, Arm strong said, "and all three men fired into the ground. I made desper ate attempt to reach the city hall door with the three men surround ing Schooley and myself.

Vet erans of-the Grand Army of the Re public concluded their 56th annual encampment here this afternoon and tonight found the city practically deserted of -the more than 15,000 gray-haired Visitors who came here to renew acquaintances with com rades of the civil war. The only business conducted, to day was the installation of officers elected yesterday and the adoption of resolutions. Denunciation of what was de scribed as the savage butchery of miners at Herrin, 111., expressed in resolutions adopted amid stormy scenes, featured the closing hour of the encampment. The labor resolution denouncing the selfishness and disregard for public welfare displayed by both sides in the coal and rail strike was adopted. Southern Attack Ignored. Three different resolutions pro posing retaliation by the soldiers of the north to the action of the con federate veterans in assailing the memory of Abraham Lincoln were tabled when the committee reported as follows: "We have decided to treat the whole .matter with contempt, It looking to us as if the action were an effort on the part of Confederate veterans -who perpetrated it to ad vertise some miserable little garbled history of the war and to drag us into a quarrel that would get it pu-blicity and help sell it." Efforts during the closing sess'on to conciliate differences between the Daughters of the Veterans and the Daughters of the G. A. R. by ap pointing a mediation committee at the request of the former to try to effect an amalgamation ot the two orders failed .when the committee reported back to the Grand Army encampment that the Daughters of the G. A. R. were not willing to pro ceed with any such action this year. At the request of the Sons of vet erans the Grand Army resolutions approved a proposal to change the name of that body to the Sons of Union Veterans of , the Civil War. STo Bonus Action Taken. The session also tabled a resolu- t'on designed to protect veterans from attachment or their pension money after pension checks have teen cashed. No action was taken upon the bonus or upon the proposal to amal amate all patriotic and veteran as tcctations into one organization. The committee reported it had re fused to . recommend adoption of j resolution indorsing enforcement of the ' Volstead act, . though ; every member of the committee personally favored such enforcement, but that they believed the matter to be too much political for action by the Grand Army. A resolution for gen eral law enforcement without-spe cific mention of the Volstead act was adopted. Burglar and Sort of Dick Turpin of City Streets Both Declare They Will Mend Ways. Two men of English birth, pa roled from the state penitentiary, looked a last farewell at the shores of America yesterday when the Luise Neilsen put to sea. They were Arthur Waters, burglar, and George Bellamy, a sort of Dick Turpin of the city streets both deported on the order of the United States im migration authorities. Bellamy by birth and education was a gentleman. In America he became a gunman, relieving honest folk of their watches and wallets at midnight. Paroled from the peni tentiary he lived an exemplary life pending the decision to deport him, it is said. He signed on as a sea man, working his passage, and re solved to mend his life. Waters is taking his second cruise as a deported alien. On the first, while the ship was off the north Vir ginia coast, he thrust a liferaft into the sea . and made his escape. Un able to manage the clumsy craft he swam through the breakers to shore, only to be recaptured later in Seattle and again ordered from America. Either of the deported men may land in Great Britain or thereafter choose any'country for his residence that does not fly the American flag. Both indicated that they would elect to remain in England. LOT SALES BEGIN TODAY GARTH WI CK BUILDING SITES ARE IN BIG DEMAND. 1925 FJOO CASE DECISION TO BE MADE ON LE GALITY OF PETITION. ' Plaintiffs ; Ask That Amendment Be Taken Off Ballot Because Signatures Not Compared. SALEM, Or., Sept. 29. (Special.) Arguments in the suit brought by S. S. Johnson, Portland attorney, to prevent the secretary of state from placing the so-called 1925 exposition amendment on the ballot at the No vember election were heard by the supreme court here today. Attorney Johnson was assisted in presenting his side of the case by Roger McVeigh, while the propon ents of the fair bill were repre sented by Cassius R. Peck and Frank Grant. Joseph Benjamin, a- istant attorney-general, represent ed the cecretary of state, who was named defendant in the action. It was alleged by the plaintiffs that the county clerk of Multnomah, in certifying to the names on the nitiative petitions, had failed to compare them with the original registration cards of the signers. This, the plaintiff attorneys alleged, was a violation of law and wjs suf ficient to invalidate the amendment. Attorneys for the proponents of the exposition amendment and the assistant attorney-general argued Coe A. McKenna Expects Remain ing Property In Residential Park to Sell Promptly. The sale of the 52 building sites remaining unsold in the residential park known as Garthwlck, adjoining the Waverley Country club, will open officially this afternoon at 1 o'clock. Coe A. McKenna, who has been placed in charge of the disposal of the property 1 y the Garthwick com pany, expressed the belief yesterday that all of the sites would be dis posed of during the first few days of the sale. This prediction was based upon the many inquiries which have been received. Many prospective purchasers have been viewing the property during the last week and have selected sites which they expect to purchase when the sale opens. The building sites give ample op portunity for landscaping and devel oping in beautiful fashion and are designed to make a proper setting for an expensive home, Mr. McKenna declared. The property was developed sev eral years ago and at that time the streets were hard-surfaced, as were also the alleys between the sites. Arc lights were installed. The sites were supplied with water, gas and electric lights at that time. MIXED MARRIAGE TABOO Chinese and W'hite Woman Fail to Get Nuptial Knot Tied. VANCOUVER, Wash' Sept. 29. (Special.) Jack Limm, 27, a. native of China, and Mrs. Eva Pastore, 21, of Bellingham, Wash., arrived here today and procured a marriage license. Their witness was Orville W. Rice of 3322 N street, a local taxicab driver, who drove them to the court house. Armed with the license the couple entered the office of Frank E. Vaughan, justice of the peace, where the woman asked if he would marry them. Mr. Vaughan replied he did not desire to perform a ceremony where there would be a mixture of races, so they left. Ministers in the city for some time have refused to marry mixed couples, in which cases the per sons desiring to marry went to other counties where they found an obliging justice of the peace.
