MAYOR W. COURTRIGHT SMITH
ADDRESSES w. C. I. q.
Warming Is Sounded at Rally by Sena-
tor Bright'S Wife

The w. c. T. U. anniversary of the
adoption of the Eighteenth Amend
ment was held in the Presbyterian
Church. Mrs. w. d. Inglee, chair
woman of the local chapter, presided.
The speakers were Foster Goslin,
president of the Board of Trade; Mrs.
William Bright, wife of the Senator
from this county; Rev. James Dough-
erty, pastor of the church.; Mrs. Eliza
beth Swain, Goshen, county president,
and Mayor w. COPYRIGHT Smith.
The Senator's wife warned the mem
bers of the w. C. T. U. that the "wets"
are still active at Trenton lobbying for
Legislation to nullify the effects of the
Van Ness and Volstead acts. She i'm
plored the members to keep up their
vigil, even though the courts have up
held the Van Ness act.
The Mayor predicted that if the
members of the w. c. T. U. would
work zealously with the enforcement
officers to get substantial evidence
against hooch vendors and bootleggers
the business would become unhealthy
instead of wealthy as now seems to be
the case. The Mayors final caution
was that a drop of liquor in a bottle
was discriminating, while a volume of
gossip was not.
Miss Gaskill had charge Of the
music. Several fine selections were
given by the High School Orchestra.
The Misses Mary and Edith Weaver
delighted their audience with some
charming duets, when the evenings
entertainment closed with a round OF
refreshments and social gaieties.

his measure with the cooperation Of
Secretary Of Commerce Hoover, and
expects to be prepared to press the
matter at the opening of the new

Before starting hearings Senator
Edge plans to introduce a new bill
revised to meet the suggestions Of
Secretary Hoover. This bill is now
being put into final form by the legal
staff Of the department Of commerce.
Secretary Hoover will be one of the
chief witnesses at the hearings before
the senate committee.
The bill, as favored by Secretary
Hoover, amends the Clayton act to
permit interstate trade associations to

New Brunswick, n. j., Sept. "a -
The theory that a blackmail plot led

gelist, and Mrs. James Mills, mem
ber of the choir and wife OF the
church sexton, was strengthened to.
day when Somerset and Middlesex
county authorities learned that two
strange Italians flashed revolyers In
New Brunswick the night before the
double murder.
The two Italians are known to
have spent the night before the kill
ing on barge in the Raritan canal.
Thursday night at about the time DR..
Hall and Mrs. Mills left their respec-
tive homes, the armed strangers
left the barge. They returned TO the
barge at about 8, Friday morning,
and vanished the following day in an
automobile.
The investigators are seeking now
to learn if the swarthy strangers
were not paid gunner hired to Kill
the rector and the choir singer.
The report was persistent that an
early arrest was to be made OF
woman in the murder mystery, but
this could not be confirmed.
Henry Stevens, brother Of the slain
rector's widow, interviewed for the
first time since the bodies OF the
couple were found, tonight accounted
for his actions since the Wednesday
preceding the murder.
A relative of DR.. Hall, it was re-
vealed, ransacked the rector's studio
soon after the news Of the double
murder reached New Brunswick. He
is believed TO have taken papers away
which would have thrown light upon
the slayings. Whether these were

ment Friday before Judge Daley.
