but sob while his father fondled and

quite naturally I have my own
idea of this sudden solution of the
case. It ought to be evident to anyone
who read Gov Edwards pronounce

solved within so few hours that all
previous theories and clews be
thrown to the winds and these boys
arrested.

separate statements and signed them
all. There are wide discrepancies
between the statements, but each
contains the allegation that young
Hayes fired the shots that killed Hall

which led to the arrest OF Hayes, Is
witnessed by two of the detectives.
This Is what has been referred to

While they have held Hayes on
Schneider's statement. neither Beck

Toolan declared:
The arrest of Hayes has com 4
pllcated the case. One OF the points
that causes Schneider to haggle with
his tormentors was the time OF the
killing. which is OF vital importance.
II must be borne in mind that It is
utterly improbable that either Mrs.
Mills or Hall would stay out until
unless something had hap
pened to them.

terday that the city will take over the
Atlantic avenue and Hamilton avenue.
brooklyn ferries to Whitehall street,
Manhattan, at midnight tonight and op-
crate them as municipal ferries.

The Commissioner made public 4 letter
to the ferry company revoking its IL
cense.
He said he has issued repeated or
Gers TO the company TO cancel Its IL
legal rates" He learned recently. he
declared, that the company intended to
sell its nine ferrybcats to the Individual
owner of the company and withdraw
them from service, rather than sell the
boats to the city 1t tho price the city
offered.
'I Immediately made arrangements to
continue these ferry lines with other
boats" said Mr. Whalen. Passenger
fare will be reduced to cents and ve-
hicie rate reduced 10 conform TO the nlu-
nicipal standard.
II have notified the employees OF the
Union Ferry Company TO meet me at

take them over, SO they will not be
thrown out Of work on the eve Of
Christmas"
