HAMMOND, Ind.; Oct); 20.
(By The Associated Press) Mrs.
Hazel McNally, declared by her
55-year-old' husband to be ' the
mother of "doll baby" twins, was
freed from a charge of murder
this afternoon when Judge Henry
C. ! Cleveland ruled' the state had
failed to prove that the Infants
are not still alive.
The 26-year-old wife, who had
grinned and giggled through four
days of the preliminary hearing
while witnesses attempted to fas

murder, collapsed and fell faint

Roland It. Pothier, former army
rergeant, who was arrested Thurs
day on a charge of murdering
Major Alexander P. Cronkhite
October 25, 19IB. at Camp Lewis.

Association Needs Only $459
to Complete Budget for
Coming Year
Only $4i 5 remains to be secur
ed to complete the Salem Y. M.
A. udget subscription, follow
ing the report luncheon yesterday
soon when $432 Was added to the
amount of the day before. The
total amount of the budget is
11,785. Already $11,326 is
3 promised. It is possible that
he last requirement will be met
y onday when theJdrive begins
for the Salem Chamber of Com
merce budget.
Little Time Wasted
The Y. campaign has been con
ducted in a remarkably efficient
manner, and in shorter time than
for any previous campaign. The
amount is considerably larger, be
cause pt the fast-growing demands
upon 'the association resources,
time and money. The canvassers
report that they found very few
who offered criticism of the Y.
services or kinds of activities, and
practically none who failed to get
his or her name 'down on the list
of helpers.
Building Not Yet
The big new building that the
Y. needs, is not to be asked for
now, but it is so sorely needed
that when the campaign does
come it will be welcomed by many
who want to give for the bigger
association. The campaigners
during the udget-raising found
many friends who hoped that ?V
big new building could come this
year.

BIG SENSATION IS
LOOKED FOR SHORTLY
Report that Grand Jury Re
turned Indictment Not Con
firmed Last Night
NEW BRUNSWICK. N. J., Oct.
20. On the heels of unconfirmed
reports that the grand Jury of
Somerset county had returned an
indictment today in the Hall-Milis
murder mystery, the Investigation
was given a sensational twist to
night when it was officially learn
ed that an eye witness to the
double shooting, a woman of re
putable character in New Bruns
wick had 'been dlscovevred.
Beekman Newly Active
The interjection of this oew
phase in the already greatly com
plicated case, was said to have
been responsible for the sudden
turn today in the activity of Pros
ecutor Azariah Beekman, who ap
peared before the grand Jury at
SomervillQ. r
The on-ly handicap now retard
ing the prosecutor in bringing the
situation to a climax was said 'to
be the problem of positive identi-.
fication by the newly found wit
ness, as more than one person Is
said to have taken part in the
murders.
Neither Mr. Beekman nor any
other court official could be in
duced to give the slightest en
lightment on the puzzling attitude
of all concerned in the inquiry. -
House Closely Guarded
Responsibility for the next
move, which is expected to be of
a sensational character, was said
now to be squarely up to Prose
cutor Beekman, who is moving
cautiously in his apparent desire
to be sure of his ground.
The home of Mrs. Frances Stev
ens all, widow of the slain rector,
is vigilantly guarded by state
troopers and all attempts to com
municate with the house by tele
phone have been unsuccessful.

ba'd, do not grow on natural op

building of cities, he said, i
"The development of social

the great steps toward better

he commended for every com

C. E. Knowland. speaking for
fhe Chamber of Commerce that
is to start its annual campaign
for membership next week, said
that while some other sections of
the country had to fight for even
their natural advantages, "we
have the real Garden of Eden
with us here In Oregon, and we've
bjeen eating lazily out of the hand

up to a fair measure of t,he op

He rated the Chamber of torn
inerce; as one of the main arter

"Some of the men who say, Is
this Chamber of Commerce really
doing anything?' should learn
that they are misinformed; that
many of the biggest things that
have transformed Salem from an
indolent, cow-pasture provincial
burg to a prosperous city have
come from this one organization
and no other," he said. j
He urged the Lions to organize
and stamp out selfishness . j and
community indolence, and to sup
port all the social bdosting or

great business getter and stabil
izer, the Chamber of Commerce.
