-Tbefore the crime Mrs. Mills was her,
for tea.
"On Wednesday, the day before
the murder, Mrs. Hall asked Mrs
Mills to go with them to Lake Ho-
patcong, and not only did Mrs. Mills
go but also Mrs. Nina Clarke, a
friend of hers. The others in the
party were Mr.. and Mrs. Hall and a
little niece of Mr.. Hall. Mrs. Hall
frequently telephoned to Mrs. Mills. -
Harry b. Carpenter. a cousin Of
Mrs. Hall, was present while Miss
Peters talked on the porch of the
rectory. He had this to say:
THE family is convinced that Hall
never did anything dishonorable. No
member of the church or vestry be-
lieves there was anything wrong in
his friendship for Mrs. Mills. Per-
sonally I think it more than strange
that Hall, a man known to nearly
every one in this town. who could
| hardly go a block without meeting
people he knew. was never seen after
he left his home that evening. 1t
seems certain to me. too. that II he
had any intention of going beyond
the church he would have used the
car and not have walked"
In these two talks at least is the
family version and a clear indication
of their present attitude. Against It
stand facts that seem utterly to de-
stroy the theory of the family as to
the manner of man Hall was Fur
Their it is known, as was again shown
yesterday when the investigators ex-
amined Thomas F. Coyne, motorman
of the Public Service Commission,
who saw Mrs Mills bound for the
place where she met her death.
Coyne told the prosecutor that he
was off duty and that he could not be
mistaken as to the day, because spe-
cial business had brought him into
town. He boarded an Easton avenue
car at $50 at the Pennsylvania sta
ton with his two-year- daughter !
He said he had known Mrs. Mills
virtually all his life and could not
have made a mistake. She was on |
the same car and nodded to his !
baby several times during the trip |
out Easton avenue. She recognized !
him. but did not move over to speak /
to him. She was still on the car |
when he got off in front of his home, !
three blocks from the end of the !
line. which is at Buccleugh Park.
This is about three-quarters of a
mile nearer to town than the place
at which the bodies were found.
From several quarters now II has
been learned that Hall left his home
with the intention of doing some
thing about the doctors bill for Mrs.
Mills operation. but It is not known
that he intended to pay It, Mrs.
Hall had personally paid the nurses
bill
The doctors bill was about several
hundred dollars and was about half
paid. so that Hall might have had
between 500 and $500 in his clothes
when he left home. It is not known
that he had this amount however,
nor even that he carried a wallet.
rhe best information obtainable IS
hat the bill was not being paid d.
.ect through Mills. hence the in
.ention of going to the Mills house.
DR.. L. McKiernan, who performed
he operation on Mrs. Mills said that
he amount still due on the bill was
between 500 and 5000, but he
itated emphatically that he had no
with either Hall or
Wills for Thursday night. He also

Should present foreign activities go on unchecked 1t may again be necessary for America to unloosen the treasury purse strings and like all other nations embark upon a campaign of naval strength to the extent at least, of keeping abreast with other nations.

MERCHANT PRINCE BURIED TODAY IN
 HOME c|TYPLDT SERVICES HELD IN CHURCH HE HAD ATTENDED SINCE HIS BoYHooO DAYS

PHILADELPHIA Dec 14.-Funeral services for the late John Wanamaker the merchant prince who passed away at his home last Tuesday were held today in the Bethany Presbyterian church, which was crowded to the doors by those attending to pay their
 last respects to the citizen who has
 been identified with the city of Phila- delphia since his boyhood days.
 In respect to the deceased all pub lie schools were closed, the offices of the city council the stock exchange, and the establishments of his leading competitors remained closed for the day out of esteem for their leading citizen.
 Most impressive were the services in the church where John Wanamaker had worshiped since his boyhood days.
 John Wanamaker was born in the city of Philadelphia on July II, 1888, and was the son of Nelson and Eliz- abeth Wanamaker. He was educated in the city public schools and also at the Howard university and at the uni versity of Pennsylvania. After. long period during which he learned the business which was to place him as the foremost merchant prince in the United States, he embarked on bus mess venture of his own in Philadel- phia, which endures to the present day. His political career was useful one. at one time serving in the cabi- net of President Harrison, 1SS9-93. He had the honor of being elected as the first salaried secretary of the Y. M. c. A. In addition to engaging in busi- ness he devoted considerable time. to church work, founding in 1858 the Church of Bethany. of which he was superintendent In 1912 he was deco rated by the French government with the insignia of the Legio nof Hoor
