addicted 70 the use of morphine but said
that his wife interfered with his efforts
10 cure himself of the habit. lie added
that his married life with Mrs. Greenfield
was just one demand after another for
money by his wife. These alleged con-
slant demands for money prevented him
from taking the rest that he needed.
II was said further by Mr.. Greenfield
that his wife constantly used him as a
"catspaw" TO get money from his mother

Greenfield agreed TO accept s., go IN con-
sideration OF all claims on her husband
or his family and in lieu of all dover
The alleged appetite OF Mrs Greenfield
Tor money, neF HUSBAND Salu, caused ner

tions in obtaining his drugs. She also
threatened To expose him in the newspa-

arrest also showed that the agency had
for many months been pursuing the
suspected man and had been keeping in
close touch with the woman in the
case"
One Of those who gave valuable as
sistance in the case was John A. Roeb-
ling. a young millionaire, of Bernards-
Vile. lie gave much help to the de-
tectives.
Paul. according TO his confession, had
been acquainted with the unnamed
woman in the case for some time. and
professed to a strong regard for her.
She called him to ner apartment one
night in October, 1911, and said:
81 have been wronged by Mr.. Ellis
and will give you $500 to have him
killed"
The young man then came 10 New York
and laid the case and the inducemept for
murder before some Of his underworld"
friends. They secuted him and his offer,
he says. and told him to go back to
mother"
The boy then decided TO commit the
act himself, as he was constantly re-
minded by the woman OF the task that he
had promised 10 fulfil. On the night OF
the shooting he armed himself with
shotgun. which was his personal prop
erty, and stationed himself outside Elliss
home.
The victim, with his wife and children,
assembled at the dining table. When the
lumber man had seated himself Carl took
careful aim and discharged both barrels
Of the gun at him, firing through the
window. He then ran away hiding his
weapon in his raincost, after carefully
taking the gun apart.
After a ride on freight train. and
stopping several days at neighboring
towns. Carl went home to his mother. in
East Stroudsburg, Penn. All the time he
kept up correspondence with the
woman who Is said TO have instigsted his
act. Finally. few months later, he re-
turned TO Bernardsville, where he secured
a position in the Office OF Ellis
While in Ellis's office Carl learned all
the moves OF the county authorities in
their efforts to find the lumberman's as
sailant He also met the woman who at
this time, paid him the remainder OF the
sum Of money she had promised TO give
him. with the exception OF 500.
Carl then, while on hunting expedl-
ton. formed the acquaintance OF an
operative OF the detective agency, who
ultimately received the boys full confess
sion OF the shooting OF Ellis. He was ar
rested by Superintendent j. A. Williams
of the Pinkerton Agency. and Detective
Totten. OF Somerset County, while al
Camden, y. j.
rumored that Ellis Was not giving all the
help to the authorities that he could, al
though Mrs Ellis denied this charge. IL
was discovered that Ellss marriage TO
Miss Conklin daughter Of his then en-
ployer. had been postponed twice.
An outgrowth of the shooting was the
bringing OF suits by Charles w. Alpsugh
OF Bernardsvlle. in the Supreme Court
He asks 5000 In all. In the first suit
he alleged libel and asked So. 900 dam
ages. In the other suit he alleges con-
spracy
The libel suit has 10 do with an article
published I'm the Bernardsvile paper that
IL is contended, connected Mr.. Apaugh
not by name, but by innuendo, with the
shooting. The conspiracy suit allegation
Ia that the defendants consplred to have
Mr.. Alpaugh indicted by the grand Jury
OF Somerset County.

Warning against flake .radium cancer

chemistry section of the association:
He said that because OF the wonderful
cures effected by application to cancer
of the radium gamma" rays there had
sprung up most OF lInpostots anu
quacks, who are foisting alleged cures
upon the public under the misrepre-
sentation that they contained radium.
"Since there now are less than two
grams of radium in the United States.
he added, "and II Is valued at 20.oO0
a gram, these claims scarcely are
plausible"
wonders that actually have been ac-
complished in curing cancer through the

FEDERAL RESERVE
STATES NOT FRAMED
Administration Members De-
clare Speculation as to Ap-
pointees As Only Guesswork

All talk about states for the Federal
reserve board Is without foundation, ac-
cording to declarations in the highest
Administration quarters here today.
From time to time lists of names are
published as those Of the probable ap-
pointees on the board But IL is fatty
stated there is no more foundation for
such lists than that friends OF the men
named are making suggestions in favor
OF them.
Close advisers of the President say he
understands the great Importance of
naming board that shall be accepted
by the country as Of the highest class,
free from suspicion of partisanship, and
that he knows the new banking and
currency system can be condemned to
failure at the outset by making i'm
proper or unwise selections for che Fed
eral reserve board.
Secretary McAdoo will be relied on
chiefly for advice concerning appoint
ments. And Mr. McAdoo said repeat
edly before leaving here that he appre-
ciated the Importance of naming the
right kind Of men for the reserve board.
The Secretary has not yet returned TO
Washington. He win probably go di-
rect from where he is recuperating in
hearings on Federal reserve districts
next Monday morning. It was given out
at the Treasury today that the hear
ings would be conducted by Secretary
McAdoo and Secretary Houston. As
SiStent Secretary Williams VIII not ac-
company them. and neither will Acting
Comptroller OF the Currency Kane.
Another big batch Of applications to
join the system was piled on the desk Of
the Secretary of the Treasury this
morning. Word came from South
Carolina that at a meeting of bankers
Of that State, held at Columbia, reso-
lufion had been adopted recommending
that South Carolina banks enter the
system, and fayoring Columbia as the
location for a regional bank.
