know. She has been questioned. OF
course, by Totten and others and they
have learned little from her.
1t was the New Brunswick police who
first connected the two disappearances,
according to Chief Michael O'Connell.
who says this intimation did not come
from Mrs Hall or Senator Florance,
though Florance was In the station.
Florance knows all about the Hall and
Stevens family affairs. lie has the very
highest opinion of Mrs. Hail. but of
Willie he has the same opinion as has
nearly every one else.
.Facts Astound Mrs. Hail.
When he was told OF wilIie's boast
at the firehouse that there would be
something interesting to talk about soon.
|, Mr.. Florance said:
Did Willie say that? Well, IL you
knew Willie as I did you wouldn't be
surprised at anything he said. Willie
is not to be taken seriously. I have
known him and his sister. Frances. sinca
they were children.
Il Mr.. Hall was married to Frances
Stevens about ten years ago. He was
In modest circumstances. He was much
younger than she. He married her soon
after he became pastor OF the church

day night over the telephone before he

Il don't believe she did. She told me
that Mr.. Hail9sa it was in connection

"Yes, there is an extension. but am
certain that she did not hear the con-

thing to me about It,"
Mr. F1orance was asked X 1t was
true that Henry II. Stevens was noted
as a crack shot with the rifle. and that
he spent much Of his time trapshooting.
Yes. i understand he is somewhat

Though the so-called autopsy made by
DIR. Long, Coroner's physician, was to
the effect that there was only one bull

that so close was the pistol held that

But settlement at this time will give the business stabi

readused basis will save long drawn out fight between
manufacturer and union to the advantage of the unon and
will give to the when business picks up the they
have been receiving because the demand for cutters will be
greater than the supply.
After-war conditions which neither union
ufacturer have any control have brought about nation
wide demand for lower prices, buyers strike, and while
there is special why this should apply to
ments and monumental work. it is applied and the demand
has fallen off in this line well in Others and not until
the public convinced that the to lower prices has
been made will there be great demand for Barre granite
This condition applies to textiles and to COAL both of

has brought about condition which the manufacturers
and mine operators feel that they enforce their de-

Since the granite producers made their first proposal Of
settlement in November the few conferences held in Bos

and only within few days brought this second offer If it
four months get the concessions in this Offer how
long will be before the union gets what demands? But
this most recent offer has features that ought not to
