To GRAND JURY
May Consume Three or Four
Days Before the Grand
Jury
ACTION NEXT WEEK
Final Plans for Presentation
of Cases Made This Morn
ing at Conference

SOMERvILLE. Nov. s.-(By The
Ass ociated Press)-Ffnal plans for
presentation to the Somerset county

Mills murder case were worked out
today at a conference here OF Spe-
cial Deputy Attorney General Mott
and his assistants with Supreme
Court Justice Parker and Albert
Glib, grand jury foreman.
At the end Of the conference which
lasted for three-quarters of an hour,
Mr.. Mott announced that the grand
jury would not hear the case This
week. He intimated that he prob
ably would start laying evidence
against the woman in gray and
two men before the jury Monday,
but declined to say definitely.
The special prosecutor was reti-
cent but it was learned from another
source that he expects to consume
three or four days before the grand
jury. With Mrs. Jane Gibson, pig
raiser and so-called eyewitness of
the Staying of the Rev Edward w.
Hall and Mrs. Eleanor R. Mills, as
principal witness and with strong
corroborative evidence, he was de-
clared to be confident of obtaining
indictments.
Present with Mr.. Mott at today.s
conference were County Prosecutors
Beekman of Somerset, and Stricken
of Middlesex; Col. Schwarezkopf,
head of the state police. Sergeant
Lamb. chief of the trooper detectives
on the case and County Detective
Totten of Somerset.
NEW BRUNSWICK, Nov. g..
The information on which the State
of New Jersey expects to obtainain-
oictments of three persaps for the
murder of the Rev. Edward Wheeler
Hall and his choir leader. Mrs. Flea
nor Reinhardt Mills, was to be laid
before Supreme Court Justice
Parker and Grand Jury Foreman
Gibb by Deputy Attorney General
Mott today at Somerville.
Persons close to the authorities
say that the Investigators have fden-
titled the man who Mrs Jane Gibson
says she saw shoot Mrs. Mills and
the rector. The authorities viii ask
that he be indicted for first degree
murder. They will also indict the
murder on the grounds that she was
an accomplice, but did not actually
kill either DR.. Hall nor Mrs. Mills.
The third man under suspicion is
said to be member of the Episco-s
pal Church of St. John the Evange-
list of which DIR. Hall was rector.
Authorities hope to obtain his in
dictment on a charge of being al
accessory after the fact. They say
he drove the automobile which
trailed DR.. Hall and Mrs. Mills to
the Phillips farm where they were
murdered and also that he has con-
cealed information from the au-
thorities.

The Awakening of Henry Hours,

Smokehole, a twenty mile wide
valley overlapping Pendleton and
Grant counties, between the Shenan-
doah and Allegheny mountain
ranges in West Virginia, has just
been disturbed by a rude intrusion
of officers of the law. For half a
century or more the residents of the
district have been peacefully doing
untroubled by such faint echoes of
outer world turmoil as reached
them: untroubled likewise by the
intrusion OF "furriners."
All this has been changed. Smoke
hole has been penetrated by "furrin-
ers,' and it was not peaceful pene.
tration. HENRY HOURS, who like all
his neighbors is prominent citizen,
was seized while going peaceably
about his regular business of max
ing whisky, an industry in which
he has been engaged from early man
hood to old age without the remotest
suspicion that he was disobeying the
law Of the land. II have been max
ing whisky for nigh on forty years."
he remarked when he was arrested,
"and this is the first time knew
there was any law agin IT,"
Now he wakes up to find himself
a prisoner charged with the violation
of statutes he never heard Of.
Not a lhurmur Of all the rum de-
mon uproar which for years swept
the land reached his ears. An amend.

Up Goes the British Pound.

British exchange yesterday crossed
$3.50. This means that 1t took $3.50
of our money to buy an English
pound or. as 1t is technically known,
pound sterling, while on Saturday
S4.4S would buy the pound, and a
week ago yesterday about s4.45
would buy 1t.
On the settlements of hundreds of
millions of dollars that are made
annually between this country and
Great Britain difference of five
cents to the pound runs up into mil
lions of dollars against the Britons.
But this is as nothing compared with
the not very remote period when the
so-called pound sterling was at more
than 20 per cent. discount in Amer
lean money. Then there was diff
ference of dollar to the pound.
But, as THE New YORK HERALD
months ago suggested was surely
coming to pass, there has been a
steady enhancement in the value of
the English pound as expressed IN
American money. The pound ster-
ling, in fact. is on the way to par
/ S4.S65s.
The only secret about getting ma
tons foreign exchange back to par
when it has been heavily deprecated
is for that nation to become able
again to pay all its bills abroad and
then to pay them. That was the an
swer after the war to the alarmists
who thought all European currencies
would have to be cut permanently to
new foreign exchange basis. 1t is
the answer now to other countries
that still have to travel the road, as
Great Britain is travelling it, Of hold
ing their outgo within their income
at home and paying up abroad.

FRED THOMPSON who dreamed
Luna Park and the Hippodrome and
with ELMER DUNpY's help brought
those large amusement enterprises
into being, earned in his too short
life the memorial his friends will
dedicate to his memory to-day, the
third anniversary of his death. He
was a Snowman with vision, and he
based his enterprises on the belief
that the public wanted clean enter
tainment. His ambition was to make
Luna Park an amusement place to
which women and children might go
at any time without the possibility
of offense from any detail of the en-
tainment and without annoyance
from rowdies.
In this FRED THOMPSON succeeded.
and led in the regeneration of Coney
Island half a generation ago. There
were plenty of reputable men in
business on the beach, but before
THOMPSON appeared there the tough
element and the tough resorts had
got most of the publicity. THOMPSON
and DUNDY changed this; Coney ISL
and as place for mothers to take
their children for an outing is in
large measure due to their principles
and enterprise. Coney Island itself
is a memorial to these men.

ment was added to the Constitution
of the United States outlawing his
calling and he never got word of the
startling fact.
This makes rather large draft OF
credulity for which Mr.. Hours asks
acceptance. But why may it not be
honored, even though the plea OF
ignorance of the law be Of no avail
in court? The abysmal depths OF
Oblivion to all that passes in the
outer world in which some dwell
ers in mountain recesses live have
never yet been fully sounded. Why
may not Smokehole be among the
deepest and darkest of them? Cor
poral BRINER, who led the West
Virginia State policemen in the
raid that woke up HENRY Hours, is
authority for the statement that the
episode means new departure in the
district. Smokehole is to be educated,
peaceably if possible, by force II
necessary. That is the edict OF the
West Virginia authorities.
But there are other Smokeholes.
Many of them. tucked away in Sc
cluded mountain hooks, are reservoirs
of as fine specimens of American
manhood of the sound old Revo-
lutionary stock as are to be found
between the two oceans. They will
be unearthed and enlightened some
day. And that day cannot come too
soon. Their country needs their men
and women.

Fish Tales From Vermont.
Some Brown Trout Records to. Hum.
BILE Massachusetts, Anglers.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Having
read your editorial article concerning
the brown trout weighing six and one
half pounds caught by boy in Massa-
chusetts who claims record. and not
ing that records of catches of brown
trout show nothing larger. wish to
give you few records OF brown trout
caught from the Battenkill River at
Manchester, VT.
Frank J. Lyon caught brown trout
weighing eight and one-half pounds, and
his picture with the trout was published
in THE SUN some years ago. j.,
Judge w. B. Edgerton captured an
eight FOUNDER in 1919, and a postcard
picture shows the trout on the Judge S
back.
In 1920 Clyde White caught brown
trout SO inches long. Weighing 91a
pounds, and last summer a man named
Johnson caught one Weighing 10 sic
pounds and 80 inches long.
The trout caught by White is mounted
and may be. seen at Manchester, and
the heavier fish caught by johnson has
been mounted.
Many other large fish have been
caught In the Battenkill, but evidence
of the four catches named above now
exists In the shape of photographs or
the mounted fish.

and as speaker was earnest and
forceful. Early in 1853 he came to
America as an officer under. General
James Wolfe and took part in the siege
and capture Of Louisbourg. In 1853
General Wolfe was placed in command
OF a British military and naval expe-
tiition. having for its object the expui.
sion of the French from Canada. Barre
accompanied this expeditions as Adju-
tant-General In September. 1853, the
battle of Abrahams Heights was fought.
resulting In the capture OF Quebec,
Wolfe was mortally wounded. dying
shortly thereafter. while Barre received
a wound in his cheek which resulted In
the losing of the sight Of one eye.
Later in life he lost the sight of the
other eye also. Barre remained in this
country until September, 1859, when he
returned to England and the next year
was elected to the House of Commons.
Thenceforward. until only few years
before his death. he was almost contin-
uously in public life. In 1865 he vigor-
ously opposed the passage of the Stamp
Act and in the course of one of his
most earnest speeches he referred to
the Americans. who were violently OPP
posed to this law, as Sons Of Liberty"
This phrase was very pleasing to the
Americans, and when. soon thereafter.
a secret society was organized to OPP
pose the introduction and enforcement
in the Colonies. of the Stamp Act the
society took the name of Sons of Lib
erty." Colonel Barre died in 1902.

New Wireless Laws. x
Most American Coastwise Freighters
Do Not Carry Wireless Operators.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD II yo.
will read our own radio communication
laws you will find that possibly as many
as half a dozen of our freighters are
required to carry wireless. although
many of them do SO for convenience
but I believe am safe in saying thai
most American freight vessels running
from New York to ports in the Gulf
Cuba and West Indies do not at the
present time carry wireless operators
even though they have wireless sets In
stalled on board.
Only those vessels carrying more than
fifty persons are required to have WIRE
less. A clause to that effect will be
found in both the international agree
ment and the United States radio regu-
letions.
This condition should be improved
but let us start at home s o s.

A Firm Hand in Ulster.

The British Government is now
doing in Ulster what 1t might well
have started weeks ago. That it hest
tated to use its own troops to quell
the disorder in the north of Ireland
was probably due to the supposed
delicacy of the case; but there is no
delicacy about murder.
The so-called republicans with
whom the British troops had small
battle on Sunday are unlikely to stay
and face impossible odds. They have
no real backing, political or moral.
They are guerrillas or plain gunner.
Those who have been fighting as mill
tary will return to the Free State
territory and become problem for
COLLINS and GRIFFITH, The others,
those who have been sniping in the
Belfast region, will disappear or be
hunted down.
There are, of course, two handles
to the Ulster jug. and the British
should take hold of both. Murders
have been done by both sides in the
north. The latest official figures In
Dictated that there had been more
Catholic victims than Protestant in
this war of racial and religious
hatred. The Nationalist residents of
Ulster have not received the protec.
tion they should have. probably be.
cause the Craig Government was
physically unable to shield them
from harm. Now they will naturally
look to the British forces for help.
Ulster should be swept clean of all
outlaws of whatever faction. M
