Supreme Court Justice Says
"Something Doing."
SLEUTH ON STILL HUNT
Mrs. Hall, Widow of Murdered
minister, Suspected of Knowing
More Than She Has Told.
(By Chicago Trlbun Leased Wire-
NEW BRUNSWICK, Oct. 14. The
fifth -vreek of tne investigation of
the mWder of Rev. Edward Wheeler
Hall, rector of the Church of St.
John the Evangelist of New Brans
wick, and Mrs. Eleanor Mills, choir
singer, started today with a confer
ence of Supreme Court Justice
Parker and Prosecutors Strieker ana
Beekman in the Essex club in New
ark. Prosecutor Bigelow of Essex
county was with them.
The conferees refused to tell the
details of the meeting, but Justice
Parker hinted that a definite course
of action had been decided upon.
Followine the failure of Prose
cutors Strieker and Beekman to
solve the mystery, It seemed certain
that Justice Parker will order Attor
ney-General McGran to take charge
of the investigation. '
The prosecutors of Somerset and
Middlesex ounties make no secret
of their desire to have the attorney-
general "hold the bag."
"Something Doing," Says Justice.
"Actions sneaR louder than
wnrdiL" Justice Parker saidv "You
can form your own conclusion of
-what took Dlace in a conrerence De
tween a supreme court justice and
tha tirosecutors of the two counties.
It is evident there is something
doirnr.
The conference followed a letter
to Governor Edwards, in which the
minister's widow asked that a "com
petent official be put In charge of
the Investigation.
Mrs. Hairs letters aroused the
fcnser of County Detective Totten
of Somerville, who asserted that
"Mrs. Hall, of course, is suspected
of knowing more than, she has tola.
Totten said . he (bad information
Indicating that the Hall-Mills mur
der was committed between :JU
and 10:15 o'clock on the night of
September 14. He further made the
startling statement that' he knew
the shooting was done by -someone
deeply interested in Dr. Hall and
Mrs. Mills.
Few Facta Established.
Lives of those far removed from
the little Ivy-covered church, of
which Hall was pastor, have been
shown to the world. Reputations
have been stained, arrests have been
made, prisoners have been released,
yet the murderer remains uncaught;
no promise of his apprehension has
been made.
Politics 'has entered the tale, with
out excuse for its presence.
The only facts established are
that the minister and choir singer
were called from their homes by
mysterious telephone messages; that
they had engaged In a clandestine
romance which caused gossip in the
congregation; that they were ehot
with a .32 automatic pistol; that
screams and shots were heard on
the night of the murder in the vi
cinity of tne Phillips farm where
their bodies were found beneath a
crabapple tree near a deserted
house; that their clothes were neat
ly arranged and their eyelids
closed.
Except for this action the offi
cial slate is wiped clean. No ves
tige of a clew now remains to stir
a hope that either the prosecutor
of Middlesex county or Somerset
county belfeves he can bring to jus
tice the slayer of the pastor and
choir singer.
Jfo Wenpon Yet Found.
Various clews have been traced
to their sources only to reveal sor
did tales of Illicit loves, of degen
eracy and of adults cursed with the
mentality of children.
No weapon has been found, though
the minister had been shot once and
the woman ehot three times. Her
throat was cut from ear to ear.
Marks on the minister's hands
showed that he had struggled for
life. The love notes, scattered
about the bodies, and the minister's
card which was found propped
against his shoe, seemed 'to show
that the perpetrator of the deed
wished the world to know who the
victims were and why they had
been killed.
Both Mrs. Frances Stevens Halli
widow of the minister, and James
Mills, the anemic little husband of
the choir singer,, declare their faith
in their respective spouses.
Florence North, who offered her
services as attorney to Charlotte
Mills, lS-year-old daughter of the
slain woman, again stated today
she had proof that Mrs. Hall had
known for some time of the rela
tions between her husband and Mrs.
Mills.
Mrs. Hall's Action Questioned.
Timothy N. Pfeiffer, Mrs. Hall's
attorney, denied that this was true.
Mrs. Hall's motive in securing the
services of an attorney before the
bodies were discovered was ques
tioned by Detective Totten. Mrs.
Hall first engaged William E. Flor
ence and later Attorney Pfeiffer:
Among those who have engaged
lawyers to stand between them and
their Questioners are Mrs. Hall, Mrs.
Charlotte Mills, Raymond Schneider,
Clifford Hayes and Nick Bahmer.
Raymond Schneider, held on
charge of perjury growing out of
his statement that Clifford Hayes
commtted the murder and also on
the charge of corrupting the morals
of a minor, was taken to the Middle
sex hospital today suffering from
blood poisoning, caused from a cut
on his finger. He is guarded con
stantly. Hayes justice fund tags were worn
by the majority of the people in
the town of New Brunswick today
and thousands of dollars were netted
to pay Hayes' legal experts and the
remainder will go to charity.
Detective Confident of Sneer .
Detective lieorge Totten said:
"From the moment I saw the dif
ferent consideration with which the
dead bodies had been treated the
eyes of the minister closed lovingly
and his glasses placed on his nose
and the woman with her head almost
cut off and her eyes staring I
knew I was not on the trail of any
blackmailer or robber or ordinary
criminal. I have had four men
MR. McNARY TO DEPART
Senator to Begin Speaking Tour
Upon Arrival Here.
THE OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU,
Washington, D. C, Oct. 14. (Spe
cial.) Senator McNary completed
plans, today for his departure for
Oregon tomorrow night. He decided
to go directly to Portland with no
stop-overs and will place himself
immediately on his arrival under the
direction of the republican state cen
tral committee for a speaking cam
paign in behalf of the republican
state and congressional tickets.
Senator McNary has been inti
mately acquainted with Governor
Bert W. Olcott for many years ana
makes no secret of his earnest de
sire to have him re-elected as the
etate's chief executive. He holds
Mr. Olcott in the highest esteem,
both as a man and executive, and
feels that the co-operation the Ore
gon delegation in congress received
from the erovernor in advancing leg
islation here of benefit to the state
makes him worthy of an overwhelm
ing vote of confidence on Novem
ber 7.
If It can be arranged conven
lentlv Senator McNary may leave
Oregon late in the campaign long
enough to make two speeches for
Senator Poindexter, one at oeame
and the other at Spokane.
RECALL IS ATTEMPTED
County Judge of Lake Alleged to
Be Remiss Regarding Roads.
LAKEVIEW, : Or., Oct. 14. (Spe'
cial.) With cnarges of extrava
gance and incompetence, a petition
for the recall of Dr. E. H. Smith,
county judge of Lake county, was
filed here yesterday for the Novem
ber election. From a casual exami
nation of the petition it seems to
lack the required number of signa
tures of legal voters. County Clerk
War will check it over the first of
next week, and it will be deter
mined whether the question will be
submitted to the voters.
The gist of complaint appears to
be that Judge Smith has not Kept
all of the old county roads in good
rerjair. despite lack of sufficient
money for the purpose. In view of
Judge Smith's business-like methods
in county affairs during tne last
six years public opinion seems to
deplore the attempt to institute tne
recall.

Tribute Paid Harding in Enforc
ing Acts for Reduction of
Expenditures.
By Cblcasro T " mm Inn, i n Wire.)
KEW YORK, Oct. .--Brigadier-General
Charles G. Dawes of Chi
cago, familiarly known as "Hell and
Maria," told of his experience as
former director of the budget, ex
coriated congress as a nest of
"cowards" and "rats,," called cabi
net officers "Comanches" and gener
ally had a corking time at a dinner
given him by the New Tork city
committee of the national budget
committee last night.
General Dawes defied convention
as soon as the coffee was served,
for he y-ew from his hip pocket a
large and blackened pipe, which he
filled, lighted and puffed on with
keen satisfaction. When he warmed
up to his speech he stamped and
shook his fists and let out an occa
sional "damn" to the enjoyment of
a few women at the tables.
"Tve lost the art of moderate
speaking," said Dawes when ' he
began, "I had it before I went to
France." ' -
Saving of Billions Possible.
The condition "in the business of
administration was very like that
in the army when it went to France,
he said, and it was found that what
was needed was to superimpose a
business staff to co-ordinate gov
ernment financial affairs.
"Everybody did as they damned
pleased," he said. "A most dis
graceful condition of affairs had
grown up.
"If at the beginning of the war
there had been a co-ordinating sys
tem, billions of dollars would have
been saved." ,
The cabinet then came in for his
attention, and he said:
"They are advisers. They are
entitled to be dignified, but in' the
business organization of the gov
ernment they are nothing but vice
president managers of the business,
and they must take their places.
Under this administration they have
taken their places. t It wasn't done
by the budget law. It was done by
the assumption of business respon
sibility by the president.
Cabinet Held Enemy.
"He waved the ax," said the
general, waving his arm, "and said
that anybody who didn't co-operate
his head would come off and don't
let anybody here think that Presi
dent Harding would have hesitated
to use it.
"If the president had frowned
once at the mention of my name, in
30 days they would have torn my
organization to pieces. Tou don't
know President Harding was threat
ened with revolt because of this
imposition of central control. You
don't see any of that In the papers.
I tell you that the cabinet are the
natural enemies of the unified busi
ness control of the government."
So the cabinet was short-circuited.
he said, by the appointment of men
to act direct with the director of
the budget. He told of sending for
Assistant-Secretary of the Navy
Roosevelt "I sent for him, I didn't
go to his office" and the long row
which took place before he could
have mine sweepers turned over to
the Geodetic survey so that the
government would not have to buy
new boats while it had useless ones
rotting in the docks.
He told of the Broom incident.
When the chief of operations of the
navy refused to give certain infor
mation. General Dawes sent for him.
'He said, 'I am doing my duty to
the American people to maintain
the navy in the proper condition.'
" 'The hell you are,' I told -him.

General Dawes then switched to
the subject of congress and at
tacked it for its subserviency to
minorities advocating vote-getting
bills. The bonus came In for special
condemnation.
"One of the reasons we have this
trouble Is the direct primary," said
the general. "The trouble is the
cowardice in congress, men in office
who would barter the interests-of
their country in order to stay in
office, and if there is any organized
opposition, they run. Look at the
way they ran before the organized
minorities of the soldier bonus bloc,
the farm bloc, the labor bloc, the
maternity bloc, the good roads bloc.
The damned cowards run and run.
Enforcement Is Keynote.
"I wish some of the young men
here would start out to call a spade
a spade, and take his successive
lickings at the hands of the politi
cal bosses. I can promise him a
career of statesmanship, the only
career worthy of an honest man's
ambition. Look what the direct
primary law has done to congress.
Read the roster of congress and
think what the names meant 25
years ago and read it today."
"Pusillanimous fellows," he called
them.
No budget law, however good,
will be worth anything if It is not
backed up by a man who wants tc
make it work, said General Diwes,
in paying a tribute to President
Harding.
"Look at Illinois. It had a fine
budget law put Into effect by Gov
ernor Lowden and it reduced taxes,
cut down state expenditures. But
under Governor Small taxes and
expenditures have gone up until
there isn't a state worse adminis
tered than Illinois at present. A
budget law is useless unless you
have someone to enforce It'
