MEN SEEK
TARIFF ON METAL

A tariff of twenty-five cents an
ounce on foreign silver will be pro-
posed at a meeting of silver produc-
ers TO be held In Salt Lake City early
In January, 1t was announced in
Reno Tuesday, says the Gazette, by
one of the best known silver mining
men in the West, who for business
reasons felt that his name should be
withheld. The meeting is now be-
ing called, he said, and it is the pur-
pose to form an association Of silver
producers of the West at this gath
ering and to adopt resolutions which
Congress will not be in a position to
ignore.
With the provisions of the Silver
purchase act expiring about n year
from now, he explained, some action
must be taken to keep the price
where it will be profitable to keep
the Vests silver mines In operation.
The proposal to sell the white metal
to China, he said, was a fallaey, for
China has no credit with which to
purchase silver. 1t is proposed at
this meeting, he said, to have ex-
perts go into detail on metal In Mex
leo, Peru and Canada and to show
conclusively that with the price of
one dollar an ounce taken off, Amer
lean mines cannot produce at a profit.
I'VE have taxed lead and other
ores, why not silver?" he asked. 1t
was explained that the United States
now produced about sixty million
ounces Of silver annually and con-
m just about that same amount.
and pointed out that IL a tariff is
placed on foreign silver the mines of
the United States will be enabled to
continue producing at a reasonable
profit.
Western senators and congressman
are to be asked to attend the confer
enee. 1t is argued that they can COM
pei the members of the National con-
gress to recognize the rights of the
Western metal producers In view OF
the fact that the Westerners have
supported the claims of the large
Eastern manufacturers for tariffs
which protect their products. 1t is
likely, 1t vas explained, that the mat
ter of a silver tariff will be placed in
the hands Of Senator Reed Smoot of
Utah, that State being n Of the
largest silver producers in the coun-
try, IL not the largest.

EUROPE AS A FACTOR
Conditions in this country are fav-
orable to a continuing volume OF
business practically to the limit Of
our labor supply and transportation
facilities, as long as foreign markets
will take the quantities of our pro-
ducts. particularly farm products.
that have been moving out in the past
year. European conditions have been
the cloud upon the horizon ever since
the war, and two opinions have been
held about the probable influence OF
Europe's inability to make payments.
and that we could not hope for nor
NAL conditions in this country with
out recovery in Europe: the other
has been that Europe must of neces-
sity take principal agricultural
products in at least as large quanti-
ties as before the war. because Of
Russia's disappearance as an export
er, and that beyond this the United
States was sufficiently self-contained
to get along very well without Eu-
rope.
Down to this time events appear
to have fairly well sustained the view
that Europe would need to take ct
least as much of foodstuffs from us
as in the pre-war years. and the re-
covery of business activity this year.
despite our serious strikes, has given
support to the view that this country
can have a good degree Of prosperity
though Europe does not over
come its troubles.

CURRENT BUSINESS CONDITIONS

Advances in grain, dairy products
and cotton during October strength
ened the relatively low price Of most
agricultural products. which was the
weak spot In the September trade sit
uation, and railroad trafic closely
approached that Of October, 1920.
For the week ended October IA. the
number Of freight cars loaded was
9S3,407, against s10.52s in the cor-
responding week Of 1921 and 1,01s.-
$50 in the corresponding week Of
1920. Grain shipments have been ser
iously hampered by the lack Of cars,
and undoubtedly a loadings would
be running above the 1920 figures II
the railroads were able to handle the
business offered. Coal production
has been below the mine capacity,
due partly to the lack OF cars and
partly because of an indisposition Of
purchasers to accumulate stock on o
falling markell
INDUSTRY AND TRADE
The industries are generally ac-
tive. with employment practically full
and wages continuing to come into
line on the higher level established In
September. In all lines Of manufac-
turing raw materials have been ad-
vaneing, and efforts are being made
to secure corresponding advances in
finished products. but they meet with
no little opposition. Advances in
wool, cotton and silk have forced
manufacturers to mark up cloths, but
although the dealers. yield q grudg-
ing consent goods lag behind the ma
terials. Consumption of cotton by
the mills in September was 495,344
running bales against 527,404 in
August and 4S4,71S in September.
1921.
COTTON MARKET OUTLOOK
The weather has been favorable to
making the most of the possibilities
for the cotton crop. but the yield can
not be expected to be much above the
Governments last estimate of TO-
$4,000 bales. The carry-over stock
In this country was 2,S28 900 bales,
which would make the available sup
ply a little over 10000. 900 bales.
Consumption and exports In the last
crop year were about $4,000 900
bales. Domestic consumption Is run
ming ahead of last year but exports
are falling behind. Foreign stocks.
however, are light, and world con-
sumption In 1922 has been we'll
above that of 1921. Evidently ev-
erything depends upon the European
political and Industrial situation. II
the consumption OF cotton goods IL
anything like normal, there will be
a shortage of raw cotton. In view Of
these conditions the market has been
strong, rising above "a cents per
pound.
At this price the crop will bring
more than the average return to the
South and affords the basis for good
business In that territory for the en-
suing year.

Years Returns Home
Most MySteriOuSIy

One of the most unusual expert
ences ever set down is that told by
Miss Gilmore Stone. who has just re-
turned to the home OF her parents
at 290 East avenue after an absence
of four years, during which time
she has been employed in Philadel-
phia and New York City department
stores. met her old friends and rela-
tives from this city and even visited
here without being recognized. All
this took place even in view of the
fact that the most unusual publicity
and the police of all cities were con-
stantly on the lookout for her.
1t was because OF shock received
at the time of the Morgan explosion,
that Miss Stone says she left home
and her return is due. she SAYS. to

a bus accident in New York City re-
Gently. During her stay from home,
no word was received from her by
her parents.
When she left home, Miss Stone re-
members going to Philadelphia
where she obtained a position and
worked for several days. Then she
went to New York and secured en-
ployment in one of the large depart
ment stores. On numerous occa-
sions friends from this city would
visit the store and she would wait
on them and on four different oc-
casions she waited on her aunt, but

none recognized her.
Miss Stone finally longed to see
her parents and brothers and sisters
and for the past six weeks 1t had
been her habit to come to this city
obtain room at a prominent hotel
and under cover of night 30 to her
fcrmer home and watch her par
ents at work about the house. She
feared she would be arrested If she
returned home and for this reason
did not allow herself to be seen.
Last week while riding in bus
in New York City. the machine was
in collision with another automo-
bile. Miss stones head was badly
bruised and she suffered from shock.
After she had received medical at
tention she was taken with the de-
sire to return home. She came to

walking on Smith street. At first she
denied that she was his sister. but
later broke down and was taken to
he home.
Although in perfect health, Miss
stones mind is a blank concerning
much of the period that she has
beer away from home. Her parents
1t is said, have practically become
penniless in their search for her In
running down clues that proved un-
availing. Miss Stone declares that
she will never leave home again.

No acuon was taken by the wa
ter commissioner at their semi
monthly meeting last night, in re-
sard to the request of the Raritan
Copper and American Smelling and
Refining Llants for reduction in
their water rates. Representatives
of these companies were before the
board at the last meeting and some
action was expected last night.
1t is understood that Superinten-
dent Samuel Mason is making Z
complete investigation of condi-
tions before making a return to the
commissioners, but it is probable
that his report will be ready for
action at the next meeting.
At last nights meeting a request
was received from residents on Pine
avenue and Thomas street in the
Budapest section for the laying of
water mains and same was referred
to the pipe committee. Bids for
laying water mains on Packer

Raritan, Arnold and Lee avenues
we're received and the work was
awarded to the lowest bidder Lid
die & Pfeiffer. Their bid was So

the present condition of the city's

The commissioner explained that
the schools are allowed by law to
spend up to three per cent of the

bonds for any additional school
purposes.

SAYS MURDERED
RECTOR ROBBED
Newspaper Men Admitted to
Hall Home for First Time
and Questions Answered
THROUGH MISS PETERS
Mrs. Hall Says Rector Was
Robbed ---Defends Him.
Mills Trusted Wife
THROUGH MISS PETERS

NEW BRUNSWICK, Sept 2t:-
Mrs. Edward w. Hall, wife of the
slain rector who was murdered to-
gether with his choir leader, Mrs.
James Mills, one week ago tonight,
this morning said she believed the
| couple to have been the victims Of
a person having robbery as his mo-
tive. The fact that her husband S
wallet and gold watch are missing,
she said, would indicate that such
was the case. Mrs. Hall expressed
implicit faith in her husband and
refused to believe the reports of his
alleged relations with the wife of
| the church sexton.
Although Mrs. Hall maintains
that the fact that the rector's wallet
and gold watch are missing would
show that robbery was the motive,
1t is pointed out by others interested
in the case that this might have
been done by the murderer as a ruse
TO cover the real motive for the
killing-jealousy
Mrs. Hall could not be spoken 20
personally this morning but the in
terview with her was carried on
through lifelong friend of hers.
Miss Sally Peters, who met the
neWspapermen at the Hall home
and answered their questions. Miss
Peters frequently left the interview
ers in order to put to Mrs. Hall the
question asked and secure from her
an answer which she repeated TO
the reporters.
Mrs. Hail said this morning her
husband left the house last Thurs
day night about 1880 o'clock, saving
he was going to the Mills home for
the purpose of talking over the pay
ment of the bill which Mrs. Mills
owed for medical attention received
when she was operated upon. He
said he would return early Mrs.
Hall said, he having told her that
he planned to go to the Office of DR..
X. l.. McKiernan after going to the
Mills home. The rector carried a
considerable sum of money to pay
the bill on behalf of the church, the
vestrymen having decided to assist
the sexton in paying this bill be-
cause of his small income, accord
ing to Mrs. Hall.
An effort was made this morning
to interview Mills along the same
lines in order to find out whether
or not the rector visited his home
last Thursday night. but he could
not be reached. His daughter Char
lotte refused to talk.
Mrs. Hall said nothing CT the tel
ephone call her husband received
prior to his leaving the house. She
did not say this morning that he
had gone to the church, although
she was quoted as saying that
earlier In the week.

Mrs. Hall and Brother Willie
Played Years Ago on Old
Hilltop Farm

NEW BRUNSWICK, Sept. IL
The old hilltop farm where the mur-
dered bodies of Rev. Edward Wheel
er Hall and the leader of his choir
Mrs. James Mills. were found last
Saturday, was a playground for the
minister's wife and her brother when
they were children, it was learned
today from a former occupant. Mrs.
Charles Amidee de Russy of Wood
bridge.
Every nook in the place and of the
old unoccupied house that overlooks
1t is familiar to Mrs. Hall and to ..er
eccentric brother, Willie Stevens,
whose movements on the night of
tn murder have been under inquiry
by detectives. Mrs. de Russy said.
The Stevens children used to come
here often to play as the families
were warm friends.
The de Russys sold the farm in
1906 after it had been in their fam
ily for more than 200 years. 1uring
the Revolution and the War of 1872,
said Mrs. de Russy. the home was
rendezvous for army officers and
the setting for many a gay party.
