power 20 compel the companies which
take over the lines to continue through

amendment strikes out the clause Of
the Law making mandatory the salaries

that there is no more upright and

is that 1914 900 900 year in pre-

ridiculous error. for the total fire in

Grand Rapids, Mich, Nov. 1-Ray- nond Eugene Wilson was arrested to- night for investigation in connection with the abduction in AIuskegon Sunday of Il year old Rosalie i~aty who was found. in the woods of Manistee county last night in serious condition from ex- posture.

Mrs. Hall Sheds No. Light in Interview
Her Statements Are in Accord
 With Those Previously Made by Her Counsel and l. Friends.

New Brunswick, x. J., Nov. 1 (By the A. P.).-"What comment would l make? Of course that it was not so, and that is all"
 With these words Mrs Frances Stevens Hall opened today her fest interview an interview planned by her counsel 90 that she might seek to extricate herself in the public eye from the circumstaTtial net in which the unfolding of the Hall Mills murder mystery has enmeshed her.
 For the first time since she was wid- owed by the staying of Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall and his choir leader, Mrs. Eleanor Reinhardt Mills. Mrs. Hall had emerged from the seclusion she has main tained for seven weeks, meeting a small army of newspaper writers in her home, and subjectins herself to an hours bonn bardment of questions.
 At the end she retired as she had en- tered the room, wan but composed. She had shed no light on the mystery. She had fallen into none of the traps the cross-examiners prepared for her. Hers was a negative story. It amplifed but did not materially alter the statements sel and friends.
 Briefly, it was that Dr. Hail had started out to his doom, saying he was going on an errand of mercy-to discuss with Mrs. Mills a hospital bill which he was paying with church funds that he was slain by a person and for a motive at which she has not the slightest con- lecture, and that her memory of him is unsullied by the ugly scandal in which his name has been involved.
