is shown, the laws governing indus

Perhaps the greatest advantage at

the fact that raw materials anG

A survey of the river made by the

"If my judgment prevails this case Is
about ready for the grand jury" De-
putty Attorney General Wilbur a.
Mott, in charge Of investigating of the
Hall-Mills murder announced today.
Mott made the statement after an
hours talk with Mrs. Jane Gibson
who told him her story of hearing
man and woman take part in the
Staying of the pastor and the SEX
toms wife on the night of September
IA.
New Brunswick, n. j., Oct. 81
Mrs. Jane Gibson, alleged eye wit
ness of the Hall-Mills murder was
taken to the court house here today
| by Detectives to be questioned by
! Prosecutor Mott.
The woman's story, that she saw
man shoot down DR. Hall and Mrs.
Mills and she heard woman scream
out the mans name, was to be in
vestigated at first hand by Mott.
At the same time, the prosecutor
ordered all his forces 20 search for
theold fashioned automobiles said to
| have been seen by Mrs. Gibson IN
Derussey's lane the night of the
crime.
New Brunswick, n. J.. Oct. 81
Characters in the Hall-Mills murder
drama who have been accused by
Mrs Jane Gibson in an affidavit viii
be brought before the new prosecutor
today for questioning.
A man who is now believed to
have been an unwilling eye witness
10 the killing of DR.. Hall and Mrs
Mills, was TO be brought first before,
Deputy Attorney General Mott and
his assistants.
From the statement of this man
the prosecutor hoped to learn whetn'
er he had sufficient evidence to war

coat, named by Mrs. Gibson as par
ticipant in the Staying.
"No one has been eliminated" was
again the announcement of the au-
thorities the eve Of examination OF
families and intimate acquaintance
of the two victims.
Mott announced he would follow
his plan of obtaining sufficient evi-
dence, if possible, to convict before
making an arrest. He said ne could
arrest woman in the case at the
present moment, if he desired.
The whole case appeared to hinge
upon the accuracy of Mrs. Gibson's
statement. An example of the char
acter of comments based upon the
supposed text of this statement was
furnished TODAY when Mrs Gibson
denied emuhaticallv she had given
the mans first name which has been
freely mentioned since her part IN
the story became known.
She is supposed to have said shd
heard the woman in grey coat cry

British Campaign
Is In Full Swing
Llovd George and Bonar Law Battle
for Supremacy In English Politics
Starts.

London. Oct 27.-The campaign be,
tween Premier Bonar Law and Lloyd
George for supremacy in British pol
icies was in full swing today.
First utterances of the two We're
entirely without bitterness. Neither
made attacks on each other but con-
fined themselves to enunciating poll
cies, which. when analysed do not
vary greatly.
The lack of definite issue in the
campaign leads many observers to
believe that another coalition gov
ernment is inevitable after Novem
ber 20 the date when the new parli-
ment meets. The general election IS
to be held November 10.
Llovd George left this morning for
Glasgow where Bonar Law has just
arrived
The program of Bonar Law, as an
nounced in a speech at Glasgow yes
terday. was favorably received in
many quarters, although it received
much criticisms because of lack OF
definiteness.
According to the Post, the premier
promises nothing except to do his
best and plainly tells the country
that the people must get down to
work and rebuild prosperity with
their own hands.
The Times declares his platform i'
straightforward and applauds its
moderation
Bonar Laws policies are sneered a
! by the Chronicle which claims thai
! he has failed to show a reason fol
throwing Lloyd George cut of office
since he proposes to dc nothing bu
what has already been done.

Mr.. Harding had cognizance of this
imminent "civil war" on August Is.
1922. he also withheld any hint of il
from members of Congress in the
very act of pretending to eniighten
them on the situation.
Nowhere in President Harding's ad
dress to Congress on the subject ri
the coal and rail strikes is there Z
syllable or intimation that he knew
or believed or feared that "civil
war" was threatened by strikers or
anyone else. On the contrary, Mr..
Harding used the word "strikes" in
referring to the conflicts between the
coal miners and their employers and
between the railroad workers and
their employers; he made no mention
of civil war or any other srt of war
on that occasion.
Was Attorney General Daugherty in
possession of facts which convinced
him that a civil war was at hand
II he had such fact, did he take the
President of the United States into
his confidence and fully inform him?
How long has Mr.. Daugherty cor
cealed the facts from the American
people? Did he keep them in his
bosom until he thought he could make
partisan political use of them!
II is both charitable and accurate
to say of Mr.. Daugherty,s civil war
that it had no existence or contempla.
tion outside of his own brain; that il
is an invention intended to help Re-
publican candidates in their elec
tions.
