Washington. Nov. president
Harding today celebrated the 57th
anniversary OF his birth almost as
quietly and simply as the average
American citizen observes a birth
day.
The presidents plans called for
his appearance at his Office at the
usual time, usual morning round
Of conferences, the customary noon
day period devoted to meeting visi-
tors in the capital from the towns
and hamletS of America who con-
slider the moment when they grasp
the presidents hand and hear his
word of greeting the climax of their
visit; luncheon, and then perhaps
few hours of golf over the course
OF nearby country club.
Because Mrs. Harding is still con-
fined to her bed, although recover
ing from her recent illness, there
will not even be a birthday dinner
party, but the president will spend
the evening with her.
The fact that today was his birth
day was not forgotten by close
friends of the executive or by the
nation and the world at large. All
day long-the beginning really was
yesterday-telegraph wires at the
White house licked and messenger
boys arrived carrying messages Of
birthday greetings, many of them
from rulers and leaders of other
countries.

morning Of Sept. Is. Mrs. Hall
said yesterday that she was at the
church at o'clock.
! II know it could not have been
earlier than $780," said Mr. Mills,
because my children had already
gone to school. The first thing
Mrs. Hall asked me was:
WAS anybody sick at your
house last night"'
I'VE then commented on the fact
that both my wife and her hus-
band were missing, and l said:
Thought "They Eloped.,
Maybe they have eloped.'
-<.'e1' hNa.s was Mrs. Halls reply. I
think something has happened to
them
"At noon when Mrs. Hall came
to my house l told her l had not
heard anything, and she said she
had not either.
Then she went away. She is in
correct in stating that she did not
come to- my house again at $50
O'Clock. I remember that I had
just returned with some ice and
was putting it into the refrigerator.
She stayed only a minute.
II saw Mrs. Hall again at Z
o'clock in her home. l went there
to ask her if she had any news. I
stayed on the porch to talk. She
did not seem to take it as hard as
l did. l had an idea that DR.. Hall
and my wife had been together, but
l did not think there was anything
wrong. l don't know why l ever
suggested an elopement."
Wants Slayers Punished.
Mills said that when he saw Mrs.
Hall at the church at $3.50 in the
morning she had assured him that
she would notify the police. Mrs.
Hall stated yesterday she was not
certain whether she called the po-
lice before or after she met Mills.
Commenting on Mrs. Halls
statement that she was not vindic-
tive and that she did not care to
see anyone punished for the kill
ings, Mills said.
II am not vindictive either, but
l want to see the murderer pun
ished. / believe it was a woman's
deed. All these theories about
blackmail and robbery and things
are rot. 1t was jealousy. and l think
her throat was cut in spite because
Of her beautiful singing.
Never Heard GOSsin
Il never heard any gossip about
wife and DR.. Hall. If had, 1
would not have stood for it for
minute. am man enough not to
have kept that job at the church if
l thought there was anything
wrong between the minister and
my wife and DIR. Hall. If / had, 1
others to do the same. l would
have gone to Mr.. Hall and if he
would not listen l would have gone
to the bishop and to the vestry."
Mills said he had never heard of
his wife having trouble with any
body and said he knew of no enc
mics that DR.. Hall might have had.
There was plenty of gossip
about members Of the choir,
though" he added.
The authorities are closely
studying Mrs. Halls replies to
newspaper men yesterday, in which
the rector's widow voiced her faith
in DR.. Hall; maintained that she
had no theories as to the murders;
said she did not seek revenge, and
denied the accusations made
against her by Mrs. Jane H. Glib
