EDISON IN FAVOR OF
 ACCEPTING FORD OFFER

WASHINGTON, May 20-Appear before the Senate Agricultural Com, 'mittee yesterday, during hearing on the Muscle Shoals project at Florence, Alabama, Thomas A. Edison, the elec- trical wizard, told the members that he thought the committee ought to ac- cept Henry Ford's offer for the devel- opment of the water power at the Shoals. Ford's offer includes a plan of financing which has been con- demned by the leading bankers and financial economists of the country. Edison believed that the plan was worth trial although apparently un- willing to commit himself absolutely as endorsing Fords scheme of financ- ing.
 WASHINGTON, May 20.-Thomas A. Edison, who yesterday asked the Senate Agricultural Committee, to ap- prove of Henry Ford's plans for the development of the water power at Muscle Shoals, Alabama, endorsing the automobile manufacturers scheme for financing the completion of the improvement, will be asked to again appear in person before the committee at an early date, according to state ment issued today by Senator Norris of Nebraska, the chairman of the con- mittee.

AFOREMENTIONED HALL LIKELY
 FOR GOVERNOR

PORTLAND, May 20-Later returns from the primary election have placed Charles E. Hall of Marshfield in the lead for the governor nomination over the present chief executive, Ben Ol- colt. The count is still incomplete, but the tabulation to date shows 27,- 49O for Hall to 25,562 for Olcott.
 PORTLAND, May 20. - Primary election day in this state was yester- day and fair weather predominated in all sections, thus aiding in bringing out a heavy vote. The six cornered race for governor, with the several candidates representing that many sec tions of the state also was large fac- tor in bringing out the vote. In the entire state there were 319,336 regis tered voters. Of this number 2lS,9oS were Republicans and only S3,45S Democrats.
 PORTLAND, May 20.-The. early returns from the primary election held in this state yesterday are most 1v from Multnomah County, which includes this city. Practically nothing has vet been heard from the east ern and southern parts of the state. If is apparent so far that the two leading candidates for the Repub- lican gubernatorial nomination are the present governor, Ben Olcott, and Charles E. Hall of Marshfieid. The other four candidates are out of the running. State Senator Walter M. Pierce has been nominated by the Democrats for governor. The Democratic vote was light.
 PORTLAND, May 20. - Later re- turns show that Governor Olcott and Charles E. Hall are running neck to neck for the Republican nomination for governor. On the face of incomplete returns received from twenty five counties, including the whole of Multnomah County, Ol- colt has 16,95O and Hall has boiled 16,296. No predictions can safely be made as to the outcome in the mis- sing election districts. The campaign managers of both the leading candi- dates insist that their man will win.

mington and the benefits which
would accrue through It were told
this afternoon by Thomas +. Bayard.
Democratic nominee for United
States Senator. at the weekly lunch
con OF the lions Club in the grill
room OF the Hotel DUPONT.

ture.

that the similar movement which
already had been begun be given
every support by the Lions and by
civic organizations OF the city,

ure OF home rule possible.

ing about 2 and asked him TO ac-
company her TO the church in her
search for her husband. The watch
man of the State College for Wom-
en- nearby saw her re-enter her
home. but there is no evidence that
Willie was seen TO enter at the same
time.
According to a report about the
railroad station. which is the foun-
tain head of a great part OF New
brunswick gossip, Willie appeared
there and announced that he was
"on the lookout for a doctor who
was. responsible for the spreading
of scandalous stories" about his
sister. He is reported TO have said;
IF find him I'll settle with him
in my own way"
Aside from the deep interest
shown in the habits. and actions OF
Mrs. Halls brother, the funeral OF
Mr.. Hall and the clearing up OF
some of the minor contradictions
that have arisen since the bodies
were found occupied the authori-
ties. One of the latter related to
the condition Of health in which
Mills believed his wife to be and
his explanation that he sought her
at the church at 2 o'clock in the
morning, believing her so sickly
she might have tainted there.
Mrs. Mills underwent an operation
in February at the hospital as has
been told. There appears TO be no
doubt that she told her husband she
still was suffering from that opera
tion. and Mills, with the same inno-
cence he has been displaying ever
since the world seemed TO fall in on
him last Saturday, believed her
Mills thinks it an absolute impos-
sibility for the stories about Hall and
Mrs. Mills to have any foundation in
fact.
DIR. Arthur Leland Smith was Mrs.
Mills physician and attended her at
the hospital. He says that a major
was performed on her in
February and that "she had recov-
cred normally" He had seen her
infrequently since February. the last
time about two months ago, when
she went to him complaining of
some minor ailment. He considered
her to be in normal physical condi-
ton at that time.
It also was learned that not only
was Hall paying for the operation at
the hospital and deducting small
sums from Mills salary to reim-
burse himself. but he had paid. with
his own check. part of DR.. Smiths
bill and had guaranteed the rest.
Strangely, Notwithstanding this,
and Mills statement that DR.. Hall
was as a brother to him, and had
visited and helped to nurse him
when he was i'll, Mills did not ap-
pear at the funeral this noon. The
funeral of his wife took place this
morning from an undertaking estab-
lishment in Bayard street.

GREAT SLUMP IN
PRODUCE SHIPMENTS

The falling Off in the shipment OF
produce and fruit over the Delaware
Division, Pennsylvania Railroad. the
past week. indicates the season is
near an end. The shipments last
week were considerably smaller than
the week before.
The slump in the total shipments
points TO the dlminuton OF the large
supply OF produce that has been sent
over the road this year This has
been a banner year in the history OF
the production OF Delaware produce
and Il is reported that farmers and
fruit growers have reaped a large
profit from the over abundance of
good crops that sets this year apart
as unequaled for many decades.
The comparison OF this years
shipments recorded up 10 Saturday,
September with shipments for the
corresponding period last year is as
follows: Pears shipped this year
number 11.690.150 baskets, last years
record up 10 the same period IS but
.9,19O. 40 baskets.
The apple and peach shipments
this year are far in advance OF the
number OF baskets sent out last year.
To date this year 1,1S7,462 are re-
ported shipped while last year only
.1O1.SOI were sent over the road.
Peaches last year at this time totaled
but 66s baskets. This year has seen
a shipment OF s16.133 baskets to
date.
No pears are recorded in the re-
mort for last year, whereas this year
10 date 5s,sO5 baskets have found
their way to the consumers in the
cities. Tomatoes shipped TO date this
year are 27s.167 baskets while last
years shipment was only 74,46S
baskets.
only in sweet potatoes and water
melons do the shipments for last
year overtop the shipment this year.
The figures as reported Saturday for
the two dates is as follows: sweet
potatoes shipped this year total co.
756 barrels. Last years total, u.s.
93S barrels In 1921, GA carloads
of watermelons are reported while

numbed his fingers.
Friends and relatives, gathered
about the mouth OF the mine for It'd

sacks for handling the bodle.

working lights, set about construct

came stealing after them down the
corridor.
The breath Of death. in tlIs-form
OF puffs OF lethal fumes. came
through the chinks. Sixteen OF the
miners stripped or their clothes and
stuffed these garments into the holes

But still the gas trickled in.
They retreated from the baricade
