SLAYER OF MULLIN
 IS STILL AT LARGE
PROBABLE THAT THE TWO NE GRO WOMEN WHO WERE AR RESTED IN CONNECTION WITH MURDER WILL BE RELEASED.

Coroner Paris will probably release An- nie Robinson and Lavenia White, the two negro women who have been held as wit nesses in the shooting and killing of Po- liceman James H. Mulln at Twenty-sev- enth street and Second avenue Sunday night
 An adjourned meeting of the eoroner's jury which has been hearing evidence in this case will be held this morning in the office of Chief of Police Wier, when the coroner will. it is thought order the women released as it seems impossible to connect them directly with the killing.
 The police now believe that Henry King. the one who Is still at liberty, Is several hundred miles north of Birming ham, and on his way to one of his old stamping grounds. They have given up hope of catching him in or around Bir- mingham, as they have secured informa- tion that he is making towards St. Louis.
 There Is no longer any doubt in police minds that Henry King, the negro un- der arrest Is innocent of the charge against him, and really knows nothing about the murder of the policeman.

 curltes--Assets Large.
AN ADVISORY COMMITTEE

Baltimore October IA persistent ru- mor pervaded the financial district here today that J. Wm. Middendorf & Com pany of Baltimore, and John L. Williams & Son of Richmond. Va, were financially embarrassed. Those interested decline to discuss the question but late tonight, after a conference which lasted several hours, they gave out the following statements: Tn view of the extraordinary and un- expected financial situation now existing in New York. Messrs. John L. Williams < Sons of Richmond. Va, and J. Wm. Middendorf & Company of Baltimore Md. have found 1t necessary to ask tenn porary indulgence of their creditors. The undersigned have. at the request of these two firms, consented to act as an advisory committee to examine into their condition and promptly report an appro- priate plan of extension. The committee will proceed to immediate performance of this duty. In the meanwhile, they be- lieve 1t to be to the interest of all con- eerned, that no legal or other steps be taken by individual creditors to compli- cate the situation, but that the present status should in all respects be maintain ed for common protection and benefit.
 Assets Exceed Liabilities.
 "rhe above firms estimate that their assets, inventoried at current quotations, exceed their liabilities by very large amount which will naturally be augment ed by the restoration of normal condi- tions.
 Tn view of the official relations of J. S. Williams and J. w. Middendorf with the Seaboard Air Line, they desire to state that neither firm nor any member thereof, is indebted to that company, and that the Seaboard Air Line railway will in no wise be affected by the action of their respective firms in this matter.

 Can't Make Collections.
 John Skelton Williams, who was in Baltimore tonight, said that the action taken was occasioned by the inability of the two firms mentioned to collect large sums of money due them, and to realize on securities in the present disturbed money markets.
 "The value of my firms assets" said MT. Williams, "are greatly in excess of all liabilities of every kind, and the pres ent difficulty will be only temporary. None of the companies in which my firm and MT. Middendorffs are largely in- terested. or with which members of these firms are officially connected, will be affected in any way by the action taken today. All of the properties held by us are in excellent and healthy condition and the outlook for them, without excep- tion is bright and thoroughly satisfac- tory"

Roller Champion Flour


 Has for fifteen years been the favorite with the Birmingham people.
 They like it because it is wonderfully good four, and because it is always good. It never deceves anyone-never disappoints the purchasers.
 It doesn't try to be awful good one day and then make up for it by being terriby bad the next
 It's so natural for it to be good that it never thinks of being anything else. Those who have used it would be shocked if anyone suggested that it could be poor They have used it so long and it has proven faithful on so many occasions that the idea of it ever being anything but the best flour on earth never occurred to them. And they're right about it.
 It has gone back on anyone-and it never will.
 You can trust LIS for that.
 We watch 1t better than cat does We buy only the very best Michigan winter wheat employ only the best millers, and use only the best machinery.
 The demand for Roller Champion four is great that sometimes we can't make it fast enough.
 Nevertheless we would like to have you try it. We'd like to have you use it right along, and if you try 1t, we're pretty sure you'll thank Us for making it and telling you about it, too
 You can buy it anywhere-a the dealers sell it. They would not think they had an up-to-date store if they didn't VALLEY CITY MILLING CO.,, Makers.
