Learn Slain Pastor and Mrs. Mills
 Exchanged Notes

New Brunswick, N. J., Oct. 6.-Au. thorlties investigating the double murder of the Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall, and the choir singer, Mrs Eleanor Rhinhart Mills today claimed Ito have discovered the secret post of' flee" used by the couple in exchang- ing love notes.
 This post office" proved to be ar old packing box, musty and dirty, ir the cellar of the church of St. John Ithe Evangelist
 l Trap Door Near Altar
 The cellar Is little used. I've weeks ago James w. Mills, sexton and husband of the murdered wom- an claimed to have the only key to lit. He said he went there only to | tend the furnace.
 A trap door is at the left of the cellar, but there are no stairs leading down and the only entrance is from II the outside, through a door below the window of the pastors study. Find ing of the box came simultaneousl, with discovery of letters written by Hall to Mrs, Mills. County Detective David pointed out that these letters were the first which showed the min ister had rlplied to love notes from the woman and proved that he re- deprecated her affection. Find Elopement Fund Besides the secret post office" de- tectives today announced they dis covered an elopement fund which in- vestigators believe the minister in tended to use to finance trip to the Orient with rMs. Mills.
 The detectives said they had found untrue reports that the pastors private safe deposit vault contained only s1o,ooo inherited from his moth er-in-law, and a $1,ooo insurance policy naming his mother as benefi- ciary.
 Cached away in the vault, the in vestigators said was $30,o00 in se- curities convertible at short notice,
 Detectives became enthusiastic over their progress and indicated that one or more arrests might be expected within forty-eight hours.
 Reporters Enter Sanctum
 lney even Cdlleu TtpOTteIS III Prosecutor Stricker's office-a room hitherto barred to newspapermen- and read extracts from aa letter writ ten by Mrs. Mills found in Halls pockets.
 T love you so much" 1t read. T love you. love you so much" Cor roboration of old stories served to re- construct general features of the shooting on or near the lonely farm house where the bodies were found.
 Mrs. Annie Hoag, who lives in farmhouse about 500 yards away. broke a persistent silence by telling Detective David that she had heard shots the night, three weeks ago, when the double staying occurred.

THIEVES PROFITS.

In item in the news, stating that cracksmen blew a safe yesterday and got away with s35,ooo worth of uncut stones and jewelry, creates the i'm full bandit must be rather large. Many who read these news items, accurate as they are, fail to realize that those statements are merely the skeleton of situation which has required long study on the part Of the robbers, great expense in many cases, and resultant shrinhagc Of the met profits" of the crime.
 Not long ago an ex-bandit staled that few professional thieves, made enough out of their work to live comfortably. Usually the victim exag- gerates the amount stolen and when the valuables which may be turned into cash with any degree of safety are separated from those which ca l. not be used, for one reason or an other, the value of the stolen prop erty shrinks to perhaps a quarter of the amount tte victim loses. Then from this amount must be taken sums which have to be given others for information furnished which enabled noti tN ,.1tt q crime, and the rest must be divided up among the several operators. A s3j,ooo job, according 10 this for mer professional bandit, migh- net each enc of the perpetrators of the crime less than s1,000. Psychology enters here and it is sald that this comparatively small sum fades inva- riably, spent almost immediately through channels which haye become necessary parts of the professional crooks life.
 The true, accurate news of such crimes which are published should never be taken to represent the situa- tion as it exists a week after perpe- tration of the crime Instead of crim- inals rolling in luxury bought with the proceeds of their crimes, usually such criminals are completely "broke" and planning another crime while they are on the anxious watch every minute for the police. There is little that is attractive in the picture. Tt IS suckers game" T

and Mrs. Eleanor R. Mills led inves- tigators today to order re-eXamina- tion of many persons previously in- terviewed.
 Much significance was attached to the discovery of two letters written by Dr. Hall to Mrs. Mills. These let ters were signed with the initials ID. T. L.," abbreviation of the German sentiment "Diene Treue Liebe, !" meaning your true love-" It was disclosed also that Mrs. Mills was buried wearing a pair of silk stock ings which the rector gave her.
 Detectives now are convinced that a letter from Mrs. Mills intended for the rector reached some other hands and that the couple were watched on Thursday night when they met in the park lane near the spot where their bodies were found

EQUINOCTIAL STORM.

New Britain Herald.
 Will you please print through your paper regards the line storm. Does It come In September or October :, Have we had same or not?
 The Line storm" or autumnal equinoctial storm comes usually when the sun crosses the equator passing south about September 22, this being called the autumnal equinox. AL though this day has passed wc have had no such storm. On this subiec one authority says: While the changes of autumn closely offset, as in the nature of things they must, the changes of spring, the autumn transit ton Is, h comparison with that of spring. very equitable affair. There Is an increasing number of cyclones. with an increasing closeness of or ganization. But they travel pretty generally along the northern border and produce comparatively little rain. It Is the season of West Indian hur- ricanes, and of those that come 10 us the harder ones show something Of preference for the latter part of september. This, more than any sud den starting up Of cyclones from the northwest, has fixed us In the habit of expecting about September Fist, when the sun is in its journey south across the equator, what we call the equinoctial storm. The expectation is realized only just enough to keep it from year to year well alive. Such storms as come then or later, until near the end of November arc apt to be clean, straight-out affairs that, either of their presence or of their departure, leave us in no disgusting doubt.

LIKE CAESARS WIFE.

Professional baseball today, in or der to live down the taint cast upon it by the world series scandal of 1919 must be like Caesars wife, above suspicion Had nothing been done by those in authority to take the wind out of the sails of those who would declare that the calling of the game yesterday at the end of the tenth inning was a trick to bring to clubs and players more money, sus- picon would have attached to the game for a long time The playing off of that tie game brings in more money at the gate, of course. Play CTS and clubs share the gate receipts The deduction was obvious.
 But whatever accusations may be conceived against players or mag mates, certainly there are few in the country who would be willing to accuse Judge Landis of participating in any trickery of this sort. His
 
 prompt action in declaring that the gate receipts of yesterdays gate would go to charity justifies the ere ation of the position that was created for him. Players and clubs will not profit because of that tie except in an indirect way through the adver Using the donation to charity will bring, unless Judge Landis alters his decision. It is believed that he would resign his office before he would do this. Even though there had been a plan on the part of players and um- pires--a scarcely conceivable situa- tion-to bring about a tie, Judge Landis' action will prevent the recur- renee of such thing in the future Really the game will suffer because of that tie.
 AS to the merits of the action of the umpires in calling the game as they did. Spectators fail to realize LHc pIdccu upOH uUlplTeS and players alike when the sun gets low. The regulations of the players and the umpires were at stake. It makes little difference to a spectator If he is not able to follow the move ments of the ball every second it is in action. An error by an umpire or 8 player in such series may make a difference of hundreds of dollars in next years salary. Players and umpires are anxious to let nothing interfere with their work. All were glad to know that they would not | have to risk their regulations for | skill, their one great asset through | which they make their living, in the | dimness of Coogans Bluff.
 Naturally the umpires would sym pathize with players in the latters' desire to make all the money they | could out of the series. Failing to i think of the possibility of the gate >>AAants being given to charity, the ]
