He was kept busy filling the bot

for no small boy or girl could with
stand the allurement of soap-bubble

And, now and then to advertise his
visit TO the neighborhood more effec-
lively, he dipped very long and
thick reed into his can, and the bub-

fioeks.
Soon the bubble-makers were also
busy, and the air was full of bubbles

NEW BRUNSWICK. N. J.. Dec.
2l.-The December panel Of the
Somerset County Grand Jury. which
convened yesterday. adjourned yes
terday until Jnauary 3 without con-
sidering any evidence in the Hail.
Mills case. II is almost certain,
however. that upon the return of
the grand jury the new evidence
that has been accumulated will be
presented with request for definite
action. This Is confidently expected
In view OF the charge delivered by
Justice Charles W. Parker. The
panel has already disposed OF all
other scheduled business.
With the adjourning OF the Grand
Jury today. evidences OF the split
between the different sets of in
vestigators cropped out IN a pro-
nounced manner. Il was said that
unless It is indicated that Wilbur A.
Mott. special prosecutor, intends 70
continue his work the authorities
here will be severely handicapped
and the matter may be taken up
again with the state officials in
Trenton. Il is charged that MT.
Mott, although still in command OF
the investigation. has done nothing
for more than three weeks, ana
that without his sanction It Will be
dificult TO present to the Grand
Jury what is said 20 be new ana I'M
