NEW MYSTERY
IN MURDER Of
CHURCH PAIR
Attempt to Poison Mrs.
Mills, Slain Woman,
Reported to Sleuths.
Husband Of Dead Sing
er Disappears; Rob
berry Theory Secuted.

New Brunswick, n. j., Sept. 21.-
(By the Associated Press. )-Detec-
tives investigating the murder of the
Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall and his
choir leader, Mrs. Eleanor Reinhardt
Mills, Thursday night were working
on report that an attempt had been
made on Mrs. Mills life several weeks
before her body was found beside that
of the rector on the deserted Phillips
farm.
The report-which fits in with the
theory of personal enmity, on which
the authorities have concentrated
most of their efforts since the discov-
cry of the bodies-was to the effect
that shortly before Mrs. Mills went
to hospital for an operation, she had
refreshments. She left a short time
later, complaining of illness, the re-
port ran, and when she reached home,
told her daughter Charlotte that she
believed she had been poisoned.
The name of the hostess at the
tea party was withheld by the au-
thorities. Charlotte refused to dis
cuss the report.
This development, coupled with
news that James Mills, husband of
the slain choir leader, had disap-
peared from New Brunswick, fur
nished the high spots in a day that
teemed with new angles" to the
case.
Detective Ferguson of the Middle
sex county force, said he was unable
to learn where Mills had gone, but
was assured he would return soon.
Believing the establishment of the
fact that gossip regarding Mr.. Hall and
Mrs. Mills was prevalent would
strengthen the theory of an enmity
motive for murderer the theory ad-
vanced by Detective Ellis Parker of
Burlington county that self-appOint-
ed moral censor" might have commit
ed the crime-other detectives spent
the day visiting various members OF
the congregation and questioning them
as to their knowledge of the gossip.
Mrs. Hall continued to deny herself
to visitors Thursday, but she issued :
statement in which she reaffirm ed
faith in her husbands fidelity and ad-
vanced the theory that he and Mrs
Mills had been slain by robbers.
This was secuted by Assistant
Prosecutor Toolan, who commented
that robbers never use weapons as
small as the 30 caHber pistol with
which the two were slain.
A statement from the Hall home
said Mrs. Hall believed" her husband
had large sum of money in his wallet
when he left home Thursday night. as
he had said he was going to the Mills
home to attend to the doctor bill for
her operation.
DR. r. L. Herman denied that Mr.
Hall had an appointment with him or
Thursday night.

in Industry, Say
Episcopal Bishops

Portland. Ore, Sept. 21.-Unanimous
approval was voted late Thursday by
the house of bishops of the Protestant
Episcopal Church in the United States
to declarations framed by its social
service committee that ''the worker who

capitalist who invests his money, some
voice in the control of the industry
which determines the condition of his
working and his living. There must be
established sane and reasonable dem
ocracy in industry. The worker of to-
day is rightly seeking self-expression
and elf-determination in industry. as
well as livelihood from industry"

firmed that ''all nations should associ-
ate themselves permanently for world
peace and good will. We believe in a
warless world and dedicate ourselves

FL|WER MAGNATE
ENDS HIS STRIKE
AGAINST INDUSTRY
Ford Plants Reopen Following
Relaxation of Coal Priority
Order.

Detroit, Sept. 21.-Henry Ford's
industrial strike" came to an end
Thursday night.
At midnight his great automotive
plants in the Detroit district, employ
ing upwards of 10000 men, which
were closed for an indefinite period
last Saturday as the manufacturer s
protest against what he termed Eek
cessive" coal prices, again were the
scenes of industrial activity.
The order for the re-Opening of the
plants came Thursday afternoon from
Edsel Ford. son of the manufacturer
and president of the Ford Motor com
pany, who made arrangements TO OBJ
tain coal during a long conference in
Cincinnati Wednesday with 80 mine
operators. The re-opening order was
approved by Henry Ford, and official
announcement was given to the thou
sands of Ford workers throughout the
country who daily, since the shutdown,
have scanned the newspaper headlines
in their eagerneSs to learn when their
wages would start again.
Edsel Ford, in his telegram. copies
of which were dispatched to every
Ford assembling plant in the country.
said the interstate commerce commits
sion's latest order permitting the flow
of fuel to automobile plants, previous
ly put in the non-essential class. made
it possible to obtain sufficient supply
of the class of coal required to operate
the Ford factories.
1t was announced the late night
shift of workers should report at mid
night and that succeeding shifts should
resume the usual routine Friday. The
Ford company, it was announced Off
cially. will start at 1901 o'clock Fri
day morning on a capacity production
schedule in an effort to catch up on
accumulated orders.
The re-opening order not only puts
back on the payrolls the more than
10000 Ford workers in Detroit and
the 10000 others in assembling plants
throughout the country, but also means
re-opening of scores of small machine
shops and accessory concerns. chiefly
in the Detroit district. that were OBJ
liged to close last week because the
Ford company is their sole or chief
customer.
These smaller concerns employ up
wards of 10000 men.

F IND ALL BUT ONE
BODY IN ARGONAUT:;
SEARCH CONTINUED
Rescuers Unable to Locate Will
liam Fessel, Author of
Last Message.

Jackson. Calf, Sept. 2T-Rescue
workers Thursday were unable to find
any trace of the body of William Fes-
sci. the only one of the Al Argonaut
mine victims whose body remains in
the mine Officials first directed the
rescue crew in removing rock and dirt
from cavern upon the 1850 foot
level, where it was thought Fessers
body would be found.
This was the resting place of the
other bodies removed earlier. Later
in the day the crew began exploring
the Muldoon shaft from below. They
were handicapped in their work be-
cause of having heavy oxygen appara-
tus upon their shoulders. If Fessel
wandered into the Muldoon shaft, off
cials stated, there was no hope for
his rescue. as it was filled with gas
following the disaster.
Officials were inclined to believe
that when Fessel's body is recovered
some further word of the miners fight
to ward off death will be found. Fss-
sci is the author of the miners last
message.
Since his body was not found back
of the bulkhead, it is thought that he
fled to some other part of the mine in
an effort to ina Detter air or Il oeIteT
place for the miners to bulkhead them
selves against the advance of poisonous
gas.
The message left was smudged upon
the slate wall at the drift in which his
46 companions died, with the flame of
his carbide miners lamp, thus:
'3 o'clock.
Gas getting
Rad
"Fessel"
Written underneath was:
~ :00
$50"
1t is believed by many that Fessel
sought TO escape the gas fumes after
signing his name and that the remain
der of the message was written by
others.
The rescue crews Thursday were
very weary, but responded readily to
the call of Byron q. Pickard, engineer
in charge of rescue, when he called
for volunteers to search for Fessel.
pickard divided them into three groups
and said they would search until Fes-
sells body was found.

RUSH IN NEW YORK

New York. Sept. 21.-With more
than S15,0O0,000 collected in customs
duties in the past week from importers
and merchants making a last minute
rush to declare their goods before the
new tariff with its higher duties goes
into effect at midnight, the New York
customs house Thursday ended one of
the most exciting periods in it's history.
An average of more than S1.OO0,000
day has been collected in customs
at the port of New York since July
last and more than S3,00O,000 day
was taken in on Saturday, Monday and
Tuesday. Cash withdrawals from
banks became so great Thursday that.
coupled with Withdrawals by interior
banks to move crops. call money was
forced up from y to 6 per cent on
the stock exchange.
When the tariff bill left the senate
last Tuesday to go to the White House
for the presidents signature, steam
ship men sent out appeals by wireless
to bend every effort to reach port as
soon as possible. before the new tariff
could become a law. Several ships by
increasing their speed. made New York
harbor Thursday and thus saved the
owners of the merchandise they were
carrying thousands of dollars in in
creased duties.

MURDERS BROTHER,
THEN SHOOTS SELF
IN RANCH TRAGEDY
Valentine Griesbach, Temper
arily Crazed, Uses Gun
With Deadly Effect.

Special to The Tribune.
Fort Benton, Sept. 21.-Nalentine
Greisbach, age 32, member of we'll
known family living near here. shot
end instantly killed his l0-year- old
brother, John, early Monday morning
and then turned the gun on himself
He died several minutes before the
county coroner and physicians arrived.
1t is believed that the depressed state
of the older brothers mind, almost
bordering on insanity, prompted the
murder and suicide.
When the eldest son appeared for
breakfast he told his mother that he
was in a serious mood and that he
wanted something to eat mmediately.
Mrs. Greisback persuaded him to wait
and Valentine went out TO the bunk
aouse which he occupied with the
younger brother. A few minutes aft
er John Greisback had returned to
the bunk house to change clothes IN
preparation for school. two shots were
heard, but the parents thought nothing
of this as the boys frequently shot at
magpies.
The bus which was to take John to
school arrived at the Greisbach home,
and when the youth failed To appear
his father went to find him. A search
of the bunk house revealed the ifeless
body of the boy in a corner of the
house with a bullet hole through his
head. The older son, also with a bull
let hole in his head, was found lying
on the bed
III health may have influenced the
tragedy, but the parents believe that
the despondency in the life of the
older son was caused principally by
the fact that he had been kept from
participation in the World war. The
notion that his friends looked upon
him as shirker of his war duty is
said to have preyed upon his mind.
He was also morbidly interested in
religious matters
The bodies of the two brothers were
buried side by side here Wednesday
afternoon.

ated Press. Fate of the govern
ment's suit for nation wide injunc-
ton against the striking railroad shop

H. Wilkerson.
In the meantime. the temporary re

feet since September ! is continued IN

brief statement in defense of the gov
ernments right to enjOin the strikers,
brought the case to close at 3 p. IN.
The hearing started ten days ago
Thursday.
The injunction bill differs but little
from the restraining order. Its terms,
in some cases. have been made more
binding and its phraseology clarified IN
doubtful passages, but with one ex-
ceptiOn, il is every bit as drastic as
the order now in force.
Does Not Curb Money Use
The one outstanding modification is
paragraph specifically asserting that
nothing contained herein shall be con-
strued to prohibit the use of the funds
or money of any of said labor organi-
cations for any lawful purpose, and
nothing contained in this order shall
be construed to prohibit the expression
of any opinion or argument not in
tended 10 aid or encourage the doing
of any of the acts heretofore enJolDed
or not calculated to maintain or pro-
long a conspiracy to restrain inter
state commerce or the transportation
of the mails"
The paragraph forbidding picketing
in the vicinity of or near the places
of ingress or egress of places where
railroad employees are required to work
have been extended to include a ban
against picket posts ''along the ways
travelled by said employees" to and from
their work.
The provisions against pickets at
tempting 10 prevent employees from
entering upon or continuing their
duties has been extended to include
ANY other person or persons
Rigid Ban on Violence
The ban against threats of violence
against families of workmen will be
extended, if the bill is granted, to in
clude not only threats but ''intimida-
uon, opproDrlouS eplthetS, persuasion
or other acts of like character"
TO the original restraining order the
government has also added in the new
bill an additional provision that the
application for a preliminary injunc-
ton shall be continued against all de-
PENDANTS who have not been legally
served with notice of the present
hearing, the application to be heard at
such time as the court shall select.
in explanation of the injunction bill,
Attorney General Daugherty told the
court that this order does not ques-
tion the right of man or any number
of men to strike, but it restrains them
from unIawfully striking back. The
enforcement of this decree will not
deprive any man of any lawful right.
On the other hand, it viii afford pro-
lection to every man and all men
equally, who come within its opera
ton. in exercise of every lawful
right"
