LANE 5 LETTERS
PUT WILSON IN
IMPROPER LIGHT
RedfieId Says They Contain
Instances of Half Truths;
Don't Represent Writer'S
Mature Judgment.

New York, Oct. 26.-William G.
Redfield, former secretary Of COM
merce, today expressed the opinion
that the letters of the late Frank
lin X. Lane, secretary of the in
terror in President Wilson's cabi-
net, which have just been publish
ed in book form. contain instances
of half truths which Mr.. Lane HIM
self would never have permitted to
become public had he himself had
the opportunity Of editing them.
Mr.. Redfield was q close friend OF
Mr.. Lane and sat next to him at
the cabinet table in war days.
Mr.. Redfield said the Lane let
ters throw an incorrect light on
President Wilson and do not rep
resent the mature Judgment of Mr..
Lane.
ITO my mind" said Mr.. Redfield,
'it is a grave misfortune to the
memory of good man that these
letters should be published---if they
are so-without any qualifying
editing or that they should be
printed in scraps, so as to convey
impressions that their author
would perhaps disapprove."
IF you were ill.," he said, "and.
in addition, had worries on your
mind, 1t would be unfair to you to
accept statements made under such
circumstances as representing your
actual and well-considered opinion.
That was the case with Mr.. Lane.
And, so, he wrote in private letters
what he probably never would
have written had he any idea they
were to be published without his
revision.
"Mr. Wilson'S attitude toward
preparedness was. in my opinion,
medium between two extremes
on one hand positive neglect. and
on the other obviously militaristic
preparation. There were members
of his cabinet who became impa-
tient with him, and Lane. through
singular temperament. was one OF

DRAMATIC STORY is
TOLD BY WITNESS

New Brunswick, y. j., oct. 27.---
The dramatic story OF a woman
former. Mrs. Jane Gibson. that she
had witnessed the Mills-Hall mur-
der and had identified both the
slaver and a woman who accom-
panied hlm-today electrified New
Brunswick.
About six weeks ago the bodies
OF the Rev. Edward Hall and Mrs.
Eleanor Mills, a singer IN MS
church choir were found under d
crab apple tree on the Phllllps
farm. Since then one of the most
intricate murder mysteries that mas
engaged the interest OF the coun-
try in years has gone unsolVed.
Now, with the full story OF Mrs.
Gibson made public, the feeling
was strong tonight that the de-
nouement was approaching fast.
No hint of when the. climax, cul-
mlnating in arrests. might be eX-
pected, was given by Special Depu-
ty General William a. Mott
Other Information.
Admitting the importance OF the
story told by Mrs. Gibson, he pro-
fessed to have other information on
which he could act, independent
OF her affidavits.
He admitted that Mrs. Gibson's
Identification, generally speaking,
would afford sufficient ground for
an arrest.
Sergeant Lang. of the state po-
lice, State Detective Mason and a
county detective visited the Phil
lips farm again today, going care
fully over the ground mentioned
in Mrs. Gibson's story.
Mrs. Gibson, who retired from
the thrills of a circus ring to raise
pigs. introduced herself unobtrus-
lively into the case when Clifford
Hayes, q youth, was arrested.
Keeping silence, it is set forth, be-
cause of the financial influence of
persons whom her story would i'm
plicate, she nevertheless went to
the attorneys with her story when
She found Hayes falsely accused.
Was Brushed Aside.
At that time, it was learned TO-
dav. she was brushed aside in the
excitement of the arrest. When
that trail proved blind alley,
sonneone remembered the pig
woman" as Mrs. Gibson is known
throughout the countryside.
Detectives went to her humble
little home, for the preservation OF
which she had been straining every
nerve to meet mortgage engage

issued tonight by Repub-

reviewing the record Of the repub-

Without mentioning any names
the party chairman declared in his
statement that appeals to laboring

but had '1mmeasurably' improved

statement. "a few demagogucs and
