FOR STRICKEN:

Visit of Once Chancellor
Backs to MiddIeSex Cause
of Much Political Talk
TO GET WALKERS JOB
Daily For Circuit Court, Strick-
er In Chancery and Coan
County Judge

NEW BRUNSWICK, Nov. a.
Vice Chancellor John H. Backes
shared the bench with Judge Peter
F. DAILY mere today and his presence
in Middlesex county was the subject
OF considerable political discussion
which mentioned Vice Chancel or
Backes as next Chancellor to sue
coed Chancellor Walker. who, it IS
rumored, will resign the first of the
year; Prosecutor Joseph f.. Stricken
as vice chancellor to succeed Vice
Chancellor Backes; Judge Peter +.
Daily as circuit court judge to SUE
coed Governor-elect George S. Sill: r.;
Assistant Prosecutor John E. Too'an
as prosecutor to succeed Prosecutor
Stricken, and Former Assistant
Prosecutor John A. Coan as court
Judge to succeed Judge DAILY.
AS the position of chancellor is
j one of most lucrative "plums' to
Z be secured in the state. Vice Cham
Z cellor Backes is understood to have
made his visit to MiddleseX today
for the purpose of paving his way
to the position now held by Chan
cellor Walker, the present vice
chancellor, realizing that MiddleseX
county will now play an important
part in state politics owing to the
\ fact that it is the home of the next
governor.
Prosecutor Strcker is believed to
have desires for the position of state
attorney general, but owing to the
fact that this office will not be va
can't at once he is understood to be
in a receptive mood with regards
to the position of vice chancellor,
now held by Vice Chancellor
Backes.
The political gossip would Indicate
that efforts are being made to bring
about a unity of the Middlesex
county Democrats by naming to Of
flee those of opposing factions so
that both will share equally in the
'.plums."
Edmund Hayes, chairman Of the
county committee, recognized as a
Cannon man, has been mentioned
for the office of prosecutor to sur-
coed Prosecutor Stricken should be
given "a higher Office but it Is re-
ported that the strong forces of for
mer Senator Thomas Brown are be-
hind Assistant Prosecutor John E.
Toolan and will win their fight to
have him succeed Prosecutor STRIFE
ker, Hayes might be made assist

political dopsters.
The naming of a county judge to
succeed Judge Peter F. DAILY will be
left entirely in the hands of the
County Clerk Bernard M. Cannon
and his choice for this office will.
in all probability be John A. Coan,
OF South Amboy, according to re-
ports prevalent here today. The fact
that the Brown forces will be satls-
fled with having their prosecutor
candidate named and the Cannon
\ faction contented as a result of man,
Ping the county judge is explained as
the means of consolidating both rae
tions in Middlesex county Demo-
cratic politics.
It seems to be the aim of Demo-
cratic state leaders to make Mid
diesex county solidly Democratic
and in order to do this efforts VIII
he made to smoothe over every
thing by distributing the "plums' IN
such a manner as to satisfy both

RECEIVE BIDS
FOR DREDGING
Government Will Accept Bids
For Deepening of Raritan
River to New Brunswick

Sealed proposals for the dredging
of the Raritan river from S~ayreville
to New Brunswick will be received
at the Office Of the District Engineer,
Army Building, New York City, on
Wednesday, December Is, at II
O'Clock noon. Industrial plants To-
Gated along the river are anxious
that this improvement be made by
the government as it will meal a
t~welve-foot channel from Sayreville
to New Brunswick.
The channel is supposed to be
twelve feet deep at the present time
but it has filled with sand and mud
during the last few years to such an
extent that it is only nine feet deep
in some places and in only a few
spots is the full twelve feet in
depth. The channel from Raritan
bay to Sayreville is fifteen feet at
present, this being sufficient to al
low ships drawing this amount of
water to proceed as far as Sayre-
vile. From this point on 10 New
Brunswick, however, these ships
cannot proceed, it being deep
enough only for barges and shallow
draught tugs and lighters.
Efforts are being made to inter
est contractors in bidding for this
dredging work by those plants
which will be directly benefited by
the improvement.
1t is expected that as soon as the
big plant of the Eastern Potash
Corporation begins to turf out pot
ash and the big brick plant is put
in operation the quantity of oil that
will be required for the operation
of the plant will be increased four
fold. There will then be greater
need for a deeper channel in the
river to afford proper facilities for
the shipment of the oil as well as
for the handling of the big volume
of freight hal will be shipped by
water from the plant

GRAND JURY TO GO ON
May Take Two Weeks to
Complete Investigation
New Clues Are Followed
GRAND JURY TO GO ON

NEW BRUNSWICK, Nov. "a. -,
Many former Practitioners Of the
Rev. Edward w. Hall will be called
next Monday before the Somerset
county grand jury when it resumes
its investigation of the Staying of
the clergyman and Mrs. EleaLor r.
Mills, a member of mis- choir.
This was learned today from au-
thoritative sources. These additional
witnesses together with those al
ready known to be subpoenaed will
bring the total to sixty, it is said,
but the presentation of the case was
expected to be closed by next Tues
day night.
1t also was learned that Mrs. Hall
would not be permitted to testify If
Special Deputy General Mott could
prevent it. Nothing more has been
heard of the petition circulated by
friends of Mrs. Hall calling on the
foreman of the grand jury to give
her a hearing.
Persistent reports that there had
been a quarrel between Mrs. Mills,
and Louise Geist, maid in the Hal.
home who already has testified be-
fore the grand jury We're substan-
tiated today by County Detective
James T. Mason.
The quarrel. Mason said, arose
when the maid refused to find out
for Mrs. Mills what the relations
were between the clergyman and
his wife and what Mrs. Halls opin-
ion was of Mrs. Mills.
NEW BRUNSWICK. Nov "a
Associates of Special Deputy Attor-
ney General Wilbur Mott seemed
saLguine today of getting indict-
ments against a woman and two men
for the murder of the Rev Edward
w Hall and Mrs. Eleanor Mills.
though some of the county officials
are still doubtful that the Somerset
grand jury will take such action.
There is an impression that evil
dence Mr.. Mott is to present when
the jury reconvenes Monday will
determine the fate of his case,
though the investigation will not end
until late in the week or perhaps
the following week.
The Monday testimony will be i'll
cidens to showing a motive for slay-
ing the couple. Mr.. Mott is said to
have tapped a new source of infor-
nation in seeking to learn condi-
tions in the Hall home prior to the
murder.
One report he will try to clear up
through witnesses to be called Mon
day is that Mrs. Frances Stevens
Hall three months before murder,
employed a woman to spy on the
rector and Mrs. Mills. This woman
is reported to have Joined the
church guild, better to make her
observations without being suspect
ed. ..
A new point is to be cleared up in
with the marriage of
Howard Eden and Miss Marie Koch
on the Tuesday night before the
murder on Thursday. DR. Hall was
in a great hurry at the ceremony,
according to the story already told
presumably to keep an appointment
that evening with Mrs. Mills.
