The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1922-06-09

We think our loyalty to our school interests
shown through a number of years of service as a trustee of our
City Schools, as well as otherwise will protect us from any pos
Slble charge of lack of fidelity to that which we regard as best
for our schools and the City Of Grenada.
We confess that we hesitate to take a position which the
over-zealous and the enthusiast might distort into believing that
we are lacking IN approaching the needs Of our splendid
schools at the present time, nevertheless our duty as a news
paper and to ourselves compels us to say that we think a mis-
take has been made in not undertaking to erect and equip a
new school building with the money in sight, and without the
issuance OF more bonds. 1t takes a great deal more than i'm
posing buildings and luxury of equipment to make a good
school. 90
We are not undertaking to say that with the plans as drawn
and adopted that the contract for the new building is not reas-
onably low. But there is nothing sacred about the plans. and it
seems to us that it would have been better to have revised the
plans and contracted for a building which could be built with
the money in hand. The new building can not be got ready
Tor use and occupancy the next session anyway, certainly not
before the tail end of the session.
Taxes are already high. The levy for school purposes for
with the present budget in sight. The prospect for crops in the
territory contiguous to Grenada is by no means fattering and
we happen to know that many people already have about all
the business burdens they can bear.
1t does seem that out of the 500, 900. 90 derived from bonds
already sold a school building should be built and equipped
and pay Tor the Lickfold lot and still have some to spare. It is
nigh time that garments should be cut to fit the cloth in making
public expenditures.
We fully appreciate the embarrassing situation that con-
fronts the trustees. We feel that they are in the position which
so many good men so often find themselves in the discharge

BIC PLANE OFF
ON PROPOSED
RECORD FLIGHT
New York Our Next Stop,
Say FIiers Leaving San
Diego Field.
BY WILLIAM G. CAYCE,
International News Service,

SAN DIEGO, Cal, Oct. 5.-Cheered
by 200 spectators, the giant army
transport monoplane T-2 hoped off
at 5:36 this morning in an effort
to make air history by a nonstop
flight to New York.
The huge plane, laden with 725 gal.
Ions of gasoline, rose from the field
with difficulty, and it was necessary
to circle Rockwell Field twice before
getting fully under way.
1t was 6.07 when the plane com
pleted its last circle at height of
about 300 feet, and it's two pilots
waved final good-by to the cheer
ing throng beneath them.
Lieut.. Oakley Kelly was at the
pilot wheel as the plane rose, and
will direct it for the first eight hours
of the thirty-hour flight. Lieut.. John
McCready sat at his side, ready to
relieve him for the next eight hours
flight.
New York is our next stop"
Lieutenant Kelly shouted in parting
from his friends.
The plane will follow a course from
San Diego to FL Paso, thence to St.
Louis, and then direct to New York.

BODY ExHUMED;.
AUTOPSY TODAY.
Confirmation Of Plan to EIope
to China With Singer Has
Been Obtained.
Nv international News Service.

NEW YORK, Oct 5.-The body
of DR.. Edward Wheeler Hall, the
New Brunswick On. j. minister,
who was found slain with Mrs
Eleanor Mills, a choir singer, three
weeks ago. was eXhumed today pre-
paratory to an autopsy scheduled
for this afternoon.
The body was taken from the
vault in Greenwood Cemetery,
Brooklyn, to the Kings County
hospital morgue, where the autopsy
will be performed.
Investigators are becoming more
convinced that the robbery and
blaCkmail theories that were enCour.
abandoned. They believe IA woman
inspired the double killing.
Published reports that Mr.. Hall
and Mrs. Mills contemplated an
elOpment to China have been con.
firmed in letters now held by the
prosecutor. One letter was written
by Mrs Mills on Thursday before
the murder. 1t refers to an incident
the day before, when Mr.. Hall' tore
a rent in his trousers, which his wife
mended.
According to persons who saw the
,rtter, Mrs. Mills wrote:
"Oh, for the day when l will do
your mending for YOU
An unique circumstance was
,rought out by reporters when they
iSked Timothy Pfeiffcr, lawyer and
Investigator engaged by Mrs. Hall:
Did you ever in all your ex.
perienCe hear Of a homicide case of
this sort. where the wife of the
victim was unable to aid the
authorities in any way, even through
advancing a theory as to who might
be responsible"
