DAY OF MYSTERY
IN MURDER CASE
No Rea, Developments at New
Brunswiek-Action Next
Week

New Brunswick, n. J., Nov. s.
This was another day Of mystery in
the Ha!l-Mills murder case.
The following things happened:
/. County Detective David, work
ing under Special Deputy Attorney
General Mott, predicted that report
e~s could bank on action next week.
?. Detectives claimed to have 10
Gated the automobile in which the
slayers are believed to have ridden
to the scene of the murders on the
Phillips farm.
3. The witness heralded as having
testimony TO support the eyewitness
story cse the shooting told by Mrs.
Jane Gibson, farmer and self-styied
eyewitness to the double shooting,
was identified as Mrs. A. c. Fraley,
q widow living with her daughter in
farmhouse on Lovers lane near
the scene of the murders. 1t was un-
derstood that she had seen, from the
upper stories of her home, figures
moving in the field in which the slay-
ing had occurred and heard shots,
but her home was barred today TO
reporters and she could not be in
terviewed. Signourney Smith, a
grave digger and a boarder in Mrs.
Fraley's home, already has been
questioned by state troopers.
4. Mr. Mott failed to show up in
New Brunswick, although his assist
ants had summoned all the witnesses
for interrogation, with the excep-
ton of Mrs. Edward Wheeler Hall,
whose husband, rector Of the Church
OF st. John, the Evangelist, was
found slain with Mrs. Eleanor r.
Mills, choir singer.
5. Detective Mason, chief aide to
Mr.. Mott, later was seen to depart
in the direction Of Newark, after
holding q hasty platform conference
with Mrs. Gibson and another wom-
an said 70 have been her mother.
6. NJ. Mason was seen after his
arrival in Newark and denied that
he had taken witness during the day
for questioning by M. Mott. He
said he anticipates no important de-
veiopments before Monday.
/. The rumor still prevailed That
grand jury action might be expect
ed Monday and that two warrants
had already been prepared.
Miss Sally Peters, contidaAt OF
Mrs. Hall, told reporters Mrs. Hall
was much pleased with the results
of the long interview she had given
reporters this week, and that letters
received from various parts OF the
country indicated strong reaction
in favor OF the rectors widow.
Investigators announced that they
were receiving scores of freak let
ters from persons Offering TO solve
the mystery.
One offered an aigebraic solution.

LABOR MEETING
COMES TO CLOSE
End Of Conference at Geneva
Germans Leave Hall

Geneva, Nov. 3.-Thc sessions of
the international labor conference
ended this evening. During the day
prior to adjournment, the German
representatives left the conference
owing to differences arising over the
use of the German language in the
deliberations, and the Swiss govern
ment delegates, Dr.. Pfi ,er and Pro-
fessor Delaquis, also departed for
home, pleading pressing business at
Berne.
The representatives OF the Swiss
employees and workers, however, re-
mained to the end of the confer
ence. Although the question of the
use of the German language was
-uprosed to have ben settled SO far
as the prescn. conference was con-
cerned it was brought up today by a
motion inviting the international Ia
Dor bureau to investigate the final
involved in the adoption Of another
official language. Herr Wesser, a
German workers delegate, in a
strongly worded speech declared that
millions of German workers were
embittered because their represen-
tatives were unable 70 make their
voices heard at Geneva on questions
Of the utros. interest to them.
eff the German people has fallen
he said, eff it has been brought to
earth, it has not lost faith that n
the future it will see new dawn
arise for it"
The German delegation then rose,
took up their papers and selemnly
filed out of the room, leaving those
in the meeting overcome with sur
prise. ley silence followed the
words of Herr Wesser, but soon at
forwards DR.. Aristedes de Aguero
Betancourt Of Cuba, vice president
OF the conference, spoke in conden,-
nation Of the authors OF the incident
and reproached them for abandon
ing their posts. He was loudly ap-
plauded.
1t had ben palbable that the Swiss
government delegation was not sat
isfed with the, treatment it had re-
ceived at the conference, parSicu-
larly because Switzerland had been
replaced on the council by Finland
and also because Of allegations thai
Swiss views on questions of interest
to Switzerland had failed o. apIIo-
val by the conference.
Viscount Burnham, Great Britain,
chairman of the conference, gave a
summary of the work done at the
sessions. He said the work had
been less arduous than in previous
years but much good had been &C
complisned. He added that at next
years Pan-American conference in
Chile both the league of nations and
the labor bureau would be well rep
resented. In closing his address
Viscount Burnham expressed salts
faction that there had been Ameri-
can observers at the Geneva confer
ence and said he hoped they would
return in future years.

CARNEGIE FUND
GIVES PENSIONS
Many Aged Men and Women Benefit.
Action in Court

New York, Nov. 3.-On the tomb
stanc Of the iron master, Andre"
Carnegie, in Sleepy Hollow cemetery,
is the cpi.aph ne wrote;
Here lies man who knew how to
enlist in his service better men than
himself"
Documents made public today, and
filed in the appellate division of the
supreme court in support Of an ap-
peal asking that a S4,500,0G0 pension
fund created by Carnegie's will be
declared untaxable. sounded practl-
cal over-tonc TO the keynote Of the
epitaph.
The documents showed that 600
men and women, most of them more
than so years old, were on the pen
sion list Of the Scotch iron master
who died in 1919. Some of the ben
eiciaries receive $40 month; others
incomes that approximate $4,000
yearly. Some Of them are workmen
grown too old for their trades; some
OF them have been downed by sudden
misfortune. One Of them is a Wis
count of London; another is the wild
ow Of railroad engineer. But most
of them are "men who enlisted in the
service of Andrew Carnegie"
To Miss Helen Keller, the famous
girl who is deaf, dumb and blind, the
Carnegie pension fund grants an an
nuity of $4,000. Viscount John
Morley of Wimbledon Park, London,
is provided with 1000 pounds ster-
ling year, after reaching the age of
so, according to the pension list.
Hundreds Of others whose names
are unfamiliar on news pages, but
which were once written on the pay
rolls Of steel mills and plants in
Pennsylvania, receive incomes of va
SitiS SlLeS IL Olli VA iONu.
Several letters from Mr.. Carnegie
in regard to the care Of obscure
friends were made public today by
Robert A. Franks, who for many
years directed the disposal Of the
peasic fund. One says of an old
man and his wife:
"They are no longer able to work
and on the verge of losing their
minds. The arrangement l suggest,
hope, will make them comfortable 20
the end"
Another letter concerns an cngin-
eer, who, close to death, asked Nj.
Carneg!e's aid for his family, one of
whom was a crippled daughter. The
engineer, in his feeble days, had been
pensioned, and the letter directs the
Continuation of aid to his family,
saying:
'If more is needed to keep the
widow and her daughter, it is to be
given them, sure"
One letter, directing the enroll
ment Of the name Of woman on the
list of pensioned, tells directly of a
'"man enlisted in the service" Of Car
negie. Il says:
please say her father loaned me
S2l7.50 in orocr to make my first
payment on sleeping car stock. Say
that he took my note without secur-
ity. saying, Yes, III lend it to YOU,

under my wing now, rs it were"
: The appeal for the ruling dispens-
ing with taxation of the fund
which was granted--was partly based
upon proofs offered to show that the
pension fund was tut small part of
the philanthropies of the iron master,
who gave away, the accounting
shows, s35o,000, 900.
Andrew Carnegie retired from bus
mess in 1901, the court was told, and
from then until his death was most
interested in the disposition Of large
portions of his fortune.

leading a war party against his tribe
and kinsmen. And Early Morn car
ried the news to her mother, who .ay
sick in a wigwam.
The miracle went swiftly, and Kas-
kaskia fell. Stealthily a Gordon of
hunters surrounded the little town.
The rest stole to the wallis of the fort.
Lights f1ickered from within, the
sounds of violins and dancing feet
came through crevice n window.
Clark's tall figure stole noiselessly into
the great hall, where the Creoles were
making merry and leaned silently with
tolded arms against the doorpost,
looking at the revels with a grave
smile. The light from the torches
.hickered across his face, and an In
dian lying on the floor sprang to his
feet with a curdling war-whoop.
Women screamed and men rushed to-
ward the door. The stranger stood
motionless. and his grim smile was
unchanged.

sternly. you dance under Virginia
