time of the murders.

of bandits who raided the Ruby, Ariz.,
postoffice last August. Cross-examin-
alton of Miss Pearson by the defense

sion. Prior to her crosse examination,
and while testifying for the state,
Miss Pearson pointed at Silvas and
identified him as one of three men
who came into the Ruby pOstoffice on
the morning OF the killings. While
being cross-eXamined, she was asked

the thirty-five years in which DR..

City's Clocks To Be Set
Back an Hour Tomorrow
Return From Daylight Saving
to Standard Time Sched-
uIed for 2 A, M,

Clocks in New York City will be set
back an hour tomorrow morning at 2
o'clock, marking the return to standard
time from daylight saving time, which
has endured since April 80. Scores Of
other cities throughout the state and
elsewhere which advanced the time
schedule an hour for the summer also
are returning to normal
Every one should make the necessary
adjustments to his timepiece, it Is
pointed out, as near to the above hour
AS possible. thereby avoiding possible
inconvenience through being at vari-
alton with official chronometers.
Changes made Saturday night before
retiring will seem to many to shorten
the day, though the difference will be
more noticeable the following morning
when an extra hour Is added.
Railroads entering New York are
planning to issue new timetables to
conform with the change. Travellers
from here will catch their trains ac-
cording to their own timepieces instead
OF laboring to reconcile the discrep-
ancy between Eastern standard time
and their own. The train schedule will
be in reality the same, while the indi-
vidual moves his watch to accord with
them.
Public utilities generally will natu-
rally make the change. In the case of
subways the train schedule will be
shifted TO accord with the later rush
hours.

Rear of City Hall Frightened,
But Front Must Remain Di11ey

Painters set to work yesterday to
cover up the error in judgment of the
designers of City Hall, who were so
firmly of the opinion, when the struc-
ture was built in 1912, that the city
never would grow to the northward of
it that they employed merely red
sandstone for the rear wall, though
Massachusetts, marble was used for the
front and sides. The painters were
busy throughout the day slapping
brown paint on the discolored and
Clipped red sandstone of the rear wall.
Borough President Miller, who put
the painters on the job, was of the
opinion that two or three good coats
Of paint would make a much more
cheerful looking building of City Hall
and wanted to have the whole building
painted.
For some reason which was not dis
covered by Mr.. Miller, however, the Art
Commission, which has Jurisdiction In
such matters, refused permission to
have even the most cheerful looking
paint put on the mellowed marble Of

Throaos A,gay $4,000,
Believing IL Worthless

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Sept.
22.--After he had thrown away
unsigned national bank notes
amounting to $4,000, believing
them to be worthless, William B.
Soucia, foreman of bridge con-
struction gang, to-day admitted
that the joke was on him when he
was informed that the notes were
negotiable.
The bills were found tucked
away in bridge pier that was
being raised, and were part of
lot of $4,000 believed to have
been stolen while en- route from
Washington to banks in western
Massachusetts. Soucia and two
other workmen, noting that the
bills were unsigned, amused them
selves for several days by throw
ing them in the street and watch
ing persons scramble for them.
They were in denominations of
from SIS to $40.

Britain Sees
Tariff Barrier
In Debt Paying; z
Finaf,ciers Gloomy at New
Schedules; Predict They
Will Prove a Boomerang
TO American Commerce
Differ With Balfour Views
Hold Prestige of Country
Prevents Cancellation;
Prefer Heavier Taxation

From The Tribunes Enropccn Bureau
Copyright 1922, New York Tribune Inc.
LONDON, Sept. 22.-In the minds Of
most Engiishmen the FordneyMcCum-
ber tariff is closely releated to the
question Of inter-Allied debts, and the
enactment by Congress- of that measure
OF high protection has complicated
Great Britain's debt problem to con-
siderable degree.
Sir Robert Horne and Montague Nor
man, the leading two financial au-
thorities of England, will sail the mid
die of October for the United States.
and in Washington will confer with
American government authorities on
the question of debt funding. In all
frankness 1t must be said the new
tariff has cast a shadow over the spirits
of important trading and financial in
terests in this country, and while they
concede it is not their business to
dictate or even suggest what meas
ures the United States should take,
they venture to predict the tariff will
prove to be boomerang.
That Americas foreign trade is bound
to shrink to q great extent is the opin-
ion of all the leading experts. In many
respects the situation of the United
States is similar to that Of Great Britain.
With exchange nearly normal. but most
markets closed to her goods, there are
more than 100000 unemployed in the
British Isles. There is no possibility
of Britain's debtor nations meeting
their obligations.
Exchange Difficulties Seen
However small British exports to
America may be this country unques-
tionably can buy. $50,000,000 worth Of
securities each year, but experts de-
clare the process will be calculated to
cause awkward repercussions on
exchange.
No British authority contends that
the new tariff wall will prevent this
government from meeting its obliga-
tions, but they do hold that almost
insurmountable difficulties have been
raised. If the subject be approached
from the sentimental side II is GER
tainly true that nine out OF every ten
Britons would prefer making con-
siderable sacrifice rather than have the
United States cancel the debts which
their country owes.
The Balfour note has created almost
as bad an impression here rs it did In
America. brlConS 1eet tnaC thelr honor
and preatige are at stake and that the
liabilities should be met, even though
the burden of taxation is felt SO heav-
lily at the present time. The British
representatives will present all sides
Of the problem in their conferences at
Washington and probably will ask
that the loan be turned into long
term bonds at an agreed rate of
interest.
There is no criticism Of the United
States because of aloofness, but plain
hope that she will take seat at the
European round table persists here,
despite the new tariff legislation and
similar official acts.

"A Woman!'' Cries Girl
Mrs. Mills's Daughter Says
Widow Doesn't Like Flap
pers and ''l'm One''
BY Boyden Sparkes

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. j., Sept. %.
believing that the Rev. Edward
Wheeler Hall was shot from behind
while seated in an automobile, and that
motive other than jealousy inspired
the act. the authorities investigating
the murder of the rector and his choir
singer, Mrs. Eleanor Mills, appealed to-
day to any gone possessing knowledge
of any phase of the crime to give it to
the prosecutor.
With this revelation that the investi-
gators are no longer confning their
hunt for the murderer to those homes
which might have harbored a person
jealous Of either the rector or the
singer, the possibility of n blackmail
plot gained earnest consideration. This
turn of the arrow Of suspicion brought
a surprisingly bitter statement from
Charlotte Mills. the sixteen-year-o Id
self-styled fapper daughter of Mrs.
Mills.
Girl Accuses Jealous Woman
Monday, the day DR.. Hall was buried
Charlotte, at her drab home on the
second floor Of shabby frame house,
expressed sympathy for poor Mrs.
HALL" and declared that the rector's
day Charlotte declared:
my mother was killed by woman.
| know woman did it,"
Charlotte was at the home Of one
of her aunts, Mrs. Augusta Reinhardt
Tennyson, who lives across the river
in Highland Park.
Charlotte's attitude is puzzling all
of those who have talked with her. 1t
probably will result in her being in
terrogated again by Prosecutor Joseph
Stricker or his assistant, John Toolan.
"Mrs. Hall doesn't like fappers, and
I'm fapper," was the pert finish
given this interview by the daughter
of the murdered woman.
Her remarks inspired another recon
struction Of the known facts of the
crime. Even if convinced that some
form OF blackmail was at the bottom
Of the murder, the authorities could
think for several days of no probable
way in which both the minister and
Mrs. Mills could have been lured to
the spot where their bodies were
found.
New Theory Offered
Now they are asking themselves if
a blackmail gang might not have got
possession of some of Mrs. Mills's
romantic writings through association
of one OF their number with some one
close to Mrs. Mills.
From John V. Hubbard the under
taker who took the bodies Of Mr.. Hall
and Mrs. Mills in charge when they
were brought here from Somerset
County, it was learned to-day that
Mrs. Mills's ankle was broken. This is
but additional eyidence of what hss
been known to have been slipshod Of
fetal examination of the bodies.
The theory that jealous woman
saw the two murdered gained much Of
its strength from the supposition that
scratches and cuts on the dead won-
ans arms were caused by a woman S
iingernails. 1t is believed quite likely
now that Mrs. Mills suffered these in
juries when she jumped or was thrown
from an automobile.
1t is believed now that Or. Hall was
in the front seat Of an automobile
when he was shot and that his
