Mott Says He Has Ample Evidence on Which to Ask for Three In-
 dictments.

New Brunswick. N. J., Nov. 11.- Only the question of procedure Is de. laying the presentation of the Hall. Mills murder case to the grand jury Deputy Attorney General Wilbur Mott in charge of the investigation, has an- lnounced. He Is undecided. he said, whether to await the return to Su- preme Court Justice Parker or try to have another justice act in Judge Parker's absence.
 In the meantime, he said, he would go ahead with efforts to strengthen his case. He made it clear that he considered the evidence in hand strong enough to warrant indict- ments against two men and a woman at least two of them on first degree murder charges.
 It was considered probable today that Mrs. Frances Stevens Hall, widow of the slain rector would be asked to let tfe authorities take her finger prints for comparison with prints found on the shirt worn by Dr. Hall when he was killed. She Is expected to consent. Officials are reported to have identified all prints found on the cuffs of the shirt except those thought to have been made by woman.

 Miss Robertson said she felt that she had not been treated fairly by the citizens of her home town. who rolled up a heavy majority against her Tuesday.
 Tt was purely business proposi- ton of sending me back to congress- she said. 'I didn't want to run two year. ago and it was only after much urging that I consented, but now I'm through.
 ''fror s7 years I've lived in Muske gee and was born within ten miles of the city and have always fought for the good of Muskogee, just as I did which was in congress. If had to do 1t over again, I'd do the same things I have done in congress and vote just exactly as l did.
 T owe Muskogee nothing"

FIREMAN JONES ID
 RETURN ID WORK
Commissioners Give Him PermiS,
 sion to Withdraw Resignation

Howard Jones. member of Fin.
 zine Company No, of the Are de,
 pertinent. who announced his resig. | nation two weeks ago was last nigh,
 given permission to withdraw the res.
 ignation. and again join the depart
 ment. This was done after Commis- sioner John Rogers said he favored allowing Jones 10 withdraw the resig- nation. Chief William J. Noble said Jones had been an excellent fireman and that he would be pleased to see him in the department again. The board received the resignation of Adolph J. Wagner from Engine Com pany No. ?, to become effective today. and 1t was accepted. A successor will be named at the next meeting Of the board.
 Chief Noble told the commissioners last night that change in the civil service rules governing the appoint ment of men and the promotions in the department would produce better results. The chief said that under present system. young and less ex- perienced men gain an advancement over older men because of their bet ter educational knowledge. The chief said that it Is often the case that merf who have had more schooling than some of the older men get better marks in the civil service exams.
 Firemen's Pension Fund.
 The commissioners discussed the fIremen's pension system. The fire men have under consideration plan to pay.a stipulated part of their sal aries into this fund. a plan similar to that of .the policemen. who con- tribute twS per cent of their wages to the policc pension fund. Chair man Keevers expressed the opinion that $40 or SAP a year. which is about two per cent. of the firemen's pay. seems exortitant. It was agreed by the commissioners that something must be done to provide payment for the men on the pension list. At. .pres- ent the only revenue of the pension fund Is derived from the annual con- cert and ball given by. the association. and the city appropriation. It has been suggested that money derived from the sale of old apparatus and the money received from nearby towns for services given by the local be turned into the pension fund. No. definite action was taken.
 Chairman Keevers. Clerk John J. Keogh and Chief William J.. Noble were named committee to prepare the annual budget.
 Fires During October.
 The monthly report of Chief Will liam J. Noble showed that there had been 33 calls during the month of | October. Ten of these calls were re- ,eived on Halloween night. The loss .o buildings totaled $2.225 and the contents $1,618.96. Insurance on | buildings covered the damage and on | the amount was $1,56S.96. The value of buildings at risk was | s141,o00 and contents $122.700.

MUSSOLIN| TALKS.
 ID REINSTATEMENT
Gives His Views on World Prob lens to U. s. Writers

Rome, Nov. II. - (By Associated Press) - Premier Mussolini has now gone through the baptism of oratori. cal fire from the lips of the American correspondents in Rome. He received them yesterday, they asked his opin. ions on most of the supposedly burn. ing problems of the world and chat ted on such timely topics as prohibi- ton and woman suffrage.
 The leader of the black -shirted fascist stood the ordeal of question ing with the patience that belied his fierce and severe appearance.
 The interview was launched on the topic of reparations. Mussolini said that in his opinion 1t was impossible to separate the queston of reparations from that of inter-allied debts even where the latter affected the United States.
 Cordial to U. S.
 He was very cordial in his refer ences to the relations between Italy and thN United States and said he hoped to add to the good will prevail. ing between the two countries an eco homie cooperation that would be mu- tually beneficial.
 We have the working men, you have the capital" he said.
 T would be happy if your country would amend the law limiting immi grants from Italy to the number ot 42,000 year, extending it to at least 100000. This would benefit the United States Italy and the whole of civilization"
 Woman Suffrage
 Of woman suffrage Mussolini said with conviction that he was absolutely to 1t. He added that he did Lot think general conditions were yet ripe for such franchise.
 When they are ripe, we will give the women the vote, and then they will have 10 desire to vote," he said
 The prohibition question was pop ped to him. He said he was not ir tavor of complete dryness but thought hat partly by legislation and partl, 'y persuasion, people, must be taught 10 drink less"
