JOYCE PRATT is WANTED
Young Man Is Charged With Break
ing Into Garage

Rochester, September, 1s.-Joyce
Pratt, nineteen years old Rochester
youth who is now serving the SEN
tence of fifteen days in the county
Jail given him by Judge Manhattan
this morning will be forced to
face the more serious charge OF
grand larcency in the Winona courts
as soon as his time is up.
This was revealed when the sher-
iff of Winona county, called Chief
McDermott and stated that he want
ed Pratt bought to him as soon as
his sentence was served, to face the
charge of breaking in the garage at
Minnesota City.
The garage was entered about two
weeks ago and supply of automo-
bile tires stolen. The police at Hast
ings arrested young man who drove
through their place late at night and
found his car full of tires. This man
proved to be Henry Peterson, Roch--
ester boy, and the car he was driving
belonged to Harry Nicholson, Roch-
ester theatre man. When given q
close questioning by the police, Mr..
Peterson is said to have used the
name of Pratt.
The description Of Joyce Pratt has
evidently given the Winona county
officials all the evidence they need
to bring the boy to justice.
Therefore, a soon as Pratt steps
out into the sunlight after fifteen
days spent in the county Jail here,
he will be delivered into the hands
of the Winona police and go to face
the gTaver charge awaiting him.

Emergency Rate On
Potatoes Is Sought
State Commissioner Agriculture
Calls Conference Inst. Paul To
Consider Question.

ASSOCIATED Press DiSDatch.1
st. Paul, September 18.-An eff
fort to obtain an emergency rate on
shipment of potatoes from Mime
sofa to central market points will DE
made at a meeting of the various
railroad traffic representatives call
ed by N. J. Holmberg. commission
er of agriculture. The meeting will
probably be held here late today.
Mr.. Holmberg was advised that
the interstate commerce commission
has permitted an emergency de-
creased rate on potatoes from inter-
mountain states, including Utah, ID
aho and Wyoming, to central mar
ket points. This rate works to a
disadvantage to Minnesota shippers
and in the case of the Kansas City
market means a competition from
fourteen to eighteen cents a hun
dredweight, Mr.. Holmberg said.
Unless conditions in the Red Riv-
er valley are improved, farmers will
not dig thei: potato crop because of
the lack of market, Mr.. Holmberg
said. With the prevailing emergen-
cy rates in the intermountain states
and its advantage over Minnesota,
the central markets will be flooded
with foreign potatoes and Minnesota
will be unable to ship at the prevail
ing competitive price, he asserted.

MURDER MYSTERY
PROBE BY POLICE
NO CLEWS IN THE NEW
BRUNSWICK TRAGEDY
THREE BEING QUIZZED
Detectives Convinced Rector and
Choir Leader Murdered At
Place Where Found
ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch.I

New Brunswick, N. j., September
1S.-The question Of where the Rev.
Edward H. Hall. rector of the fash
ionable church of st. John. the
Evangelist, and his choir leader Mrs.
James Mills, were slain, shared al
most equally in interest with that Of
by whom they were slain as author
tiles of two counties began today
their third days inquiry into the
mysterious double murder
Detectives were not convinced that
the rector and Mrs. Mills met death
beneath the apple tree where the
bodies were laid out as II for burial.
Mills, the widower of the tragedy,
Mrs. Hail. the widow and her
brother, William Stevens, were the
figures about which the investiga-
ton revolved.
Three To Be Questioned.
All three were expected to be
questioned today-Mrs. Hall for
further details of her unexplained
wanderings in the early hours of
Friday morning, shortly after the
murders are believed to have been
committed Mills for the story of his
wanderings at the same hour, and
Stevens for further light on his I'M
canny prediction on Friday morn
ing that something terrible is going
to happen"
Mrs. Hall admitted last night that
whom witnesses told of seeing enter
the rectory about 2:45 o'clock on
Friday morning. She was quoted as
saying that she had gone to the
church, accompanied by her brother.
seeking her husband who had not
come home the night before. Stew
ems refused to say whether he was
with her. Witnesses did not see him
return to the rectory.
Mills also has told the authorities
of having visited the church in quest
of his missing wife, at about the
same hour that Mrs. Hall said she
was there. He regarded it as
strange that he had not seen her
nor Stevens but hazarded the opin-
ion that they might have visited
different parts of the church"
How Bodies Appeared.
The theory that the rector and his
choir leader had been slain else
where and the bodies removed to
Somerset county to complicate the
investigation was based chiefly on
conditions at the spot where they
were found. Although tender notes
believed by the authorities to have
been written by Mrs. Mills to Mr..
Hall were strewn about the bodies,
the ministers frock was neatly but
toned up the front and all Of his
clothing was as immaculate as when
he had first donned it. Even his
eye glasses were carefully adjusted
on his nose, though his hat was over
his face.
Mrs. Mills body too was carefully
laid out. Not a crease of her plait-
ed skirt was disarranged. Her hands
were folded across her breast and
her. scarf was draped across the
face.
