Questioned Before Funeral.

Questioned Before Funeral.
Mills. the husband or the dead choir
singer. had busy day and seemed,
strangely. TO stand II rather better than
he did tho first day OF his exciting ex-
perienes. lie was getting ready TO go
- his wife's funeral when at eight
O'Clock Joseph Il. Stricker. county
prosecutor Of Middlesex sent for him.
lie was questioned for an hour and
then went to the funeral. He was
brought back afterward and questioned
again. Then he entered "A taXicab to
avoid photographers and was driven
home with "A detective as company. But
the detective left him as soon as he
was safe from tho photographers who
have been swapping the poor man into
distraction for three days.
The authorities have found n weapon
that may or may not have been con-
nected with the crime, but they did not
find II In the Mills house nor trace 1t
TO Mills. Mills. too, has altered his
story somewhat. but not in an impor-
tant particular. lie thinks IL was nearer
one o'clock than two when he got up
on Friday morning. worried because his
wife did NOT come home and went 10
the church to look for her. II was
after three when he got back. he says.
His story is verified by neighbors who
saw him with an electric spotlight enter
the church and move about as though
looking for some one who might be be-
tween the pcws. lie also looked about
the yard
The chief Importance of the revision
OF Mills story Is that II destroys one
OF the apparently important contradic-
tions created by tho first story he told.
and also the story OF Mrs Hall. who
said she too left her home at O'Clock
and had gone 10 the church. The ques-
tion as 10 why, IL both were right. they
had not met needs no answer now, as
their visits were apparently and ac-
cording TO the new Mills story. an hour
apart.
Besides questioning Mills. the Prose-
cutor also questioned his daughter.
Charlotte. about the movements OF her
parents before and after Thursday even
ing. IL Is understood that what she had
10 say really added little to the sum
of the information the detectives have.
but she made a somewhat pitiful picture
when she left the court house with her
aunt and was Immediately set upon by a
ycritsble army of photographers, who
were anything but gentle in their man
ner OF handling her.
Charlotte Is l6 and rather pretty In
pale. wan sort OF way To-day she
was dcmurc and quiet. but usually she
Is lively and pert and now that her
mother Is gone she Is the ruler of the
little dingy flat. where tho Mills live.
She speaks her mind freely. and she
looks older than she Is. To-day. though
in mourning. her dress was OF the latest
cut. evidently new. black. of course. with
wide panels on the side, hanging almost
70 the sidewalk
The girls aunt was much more simply
dressed. She also had an exceedingly
difficult time with the photogra piers
and not until a woman bystsnder hailed
cab and put the two In did they
escape.

Levin said late tonight that Il was
untrue that the Phillips farm had been

contradiction to the statement made
freely by Phillips and Is also at yari-

CALLS CHRISTIANITY
TO PREVENT STRIKE
Has Had No. Chance In Coal Con-
troversy, Says Bishop Henderson
In Lenten Service.

Friendly conference is essential
to the development of family life
and this principle applied in the coal
vent the strike"
Bishop Thomas S. Henderson, in
charge of the Methodist Episcopal
Church in Michigan, made this
statement today in his service at the
Theatre.
The one main business of Chris
tianity in the world is to bake hui
man redeemers," said Bishop Hen
derson. There can be no re-
demption of society without the re-
demption of society without the re-
demption of individual citizens OF
society.
Redemption of society must come
ultimately through the activity of hui
man redeemers. Christ called the
redeemed society the family of God.
1t therefore, becomes the business OF
every agency in the world which pro
fesses to be moulded by ideals OF
| Christianity to assist in developing
the family of God on earth.
THE law court, therefore, becomes
| a redemptive agency, as does also a
! legislature The business of the
| church is also the development OF
| human redeemers who shall under
take to redeem every social agency
in the world as a part of the King
dom of God which Christ came to es
| tablish.
IF Secretary Davis is correct in
his analysis of the present situation
OF the coal operators, it is evident
Christianity has had no chance to ge
hearing in the coal controversy. Il
is open to question as to what mlgh
! have been the result of conference
between the coal operators and the
miners when the merits of the ques,
tions at issue would be discussed
but there can be no possible question
that there ought to have been SUCH
conference between the operators
and miners providing there was the
! least touch of Christianity in the sit
uation."

fer the House reconvened tonight

! THO increase was a fair increase anu

and he was followed by Chairman
Baker, of the city delegation, VINO
favored the measure. Mr.. BAKER
pointed out that the total increases
/ represented an annual outlay OF only

the increase.
