Whether it is upon these witnesses
that Prosecutor Beekman intends to
build the case he will present to the

fore making an arrest.
Witness Is Found.
Reports of the discovery of a wit
ness to the double shooting, woman
of reputable character, were confirmed
officially.
In a statement. given out at his home
in LaVallette, n. j., Henry Stevens,
crack shot and brother of Mrs. Frances
Stevens Hall, widow of the slain rec
tor, discussed the killing.
There is no blood on my hands," he
declared. "If I had guilty knowledge
of this awful thing my conscience would
accuse me without ceasing."
He said that he had no opinions to
who killed DR.. Hall and Mrs Mills, but
had an impression that blackmail was
the motive.
"It is my impression" he said, "that
some of the evil characters who live in
certain sections of New Brunswick, no
doubt, more than one person was in
volved and one of them might well have
been a criminally inclined woman
head of the town gossip that associated
the names of DR.. Hall and Mrs. Mills.
These desperate characters probably
decided to take advantage of the talk
to blackmail DR.. Hall"

Portland, Oct. 21.-With the threat

police again turned their attention to
local members of the organization and
in a wholesale raid on the I. w. w.
hall arrested 60 alleged radicals.
The sixty all of whom had been in
municipal court and who had been re-
leased earlier in the day by munich
pal Judge Ekwall were locked up ON
charges Of vagrancy. Orders issued
by Police Chief Jenkins definitely
closed the /. w. W. headquarters and
further attempts to hold meetings
there would result in more wholesale
raids, it was said.
The day was quiet so far as the
longshoremen's strike was concerned.
Picket lines were reduced, according
to police reports. No violence was at
tempted. Non-union men went to and
from their work without molestation.
Though police headquarters search
ed all incoming freight trains Satur-
day they were able to find none who
might be classed as a red"
Sixteen men who admitted member
ship in the /. W. W. were among
those released in municipal court Sat
urday by Judge Ekwall. They had been
charged by the police with vagrancy.
The Judge stated in ordering the
mems release, that his association
with radicals the last few days had
made him "a bit of radical himself"

following the examination of for

FRENCH PAY HIGHER
TAXES THAN GERMAN
FOLK, SAYS REPORT
Tentative Budget Figures
Show Country Faces Big
Deficit.

Paris. Oct. 21.-(By The Associated
Press I'm comparing the burden Oh
taxation in Germany and France, Dep
uty Maurice Kokanowski in report on
the pending budget he has drawn up for
presentation to the chamber, says every
able bodied man in France paid l,9o5
francs as compared with 63S francs for
each able-bodied German. German
taxes, he pointed out, represent IA
days' labor. while a Frenchman had
to supply 2S. -,
The Bokanowski report begins with
a few expressions on the absolute
necessity of the country understanding
it's financial situation so that the VIII
NAV be created on the part of the
public to re-establish the national
credit on a solid basis. It showed the
expenses which may be recovered u1-
der the peace treaty form speciai
budget. but that the general budget
lots expenses of approximately 23,OO0,,
600 600 and receipts of 10000, 100000
francs leaving q deficit of 1895, 100000
francs.
The question arose, the report sets
forth. whether this 10000 600 francs
deficit ought to be included in the gen
eral budget or in the special budget
for recoverable expenses, but that the
government considered it ought to be
nut in the general budget, although 1t
represented interest on sums borrowed
TO take the place of reparations pay
ments. because the French taxpayer
was responsible IL such payments even
tually were not received.
The report puts the sum still neces-
sarv for the restoration of the de-
vastated regions at 55,O00,0OO, 900
francs and the value of pensions still
to be paid at 10000, 100000 francs,
making total of 91,000,000,000
francs for the entire budget, whereas
Frances credit against Germany is
valued at 8,O00,O00,O00 francs, leav-
ing a deficit Of 1900, 100000 francs,
which France must find.
The public debt increase, the report
sets forth, amounts to 31,0O0,000,000
francs. while in 1923, 300O0,00O,0
francs additional must be borrowed,
so that if these borrowing conditions
continue, the report forecasts that by
the end Of 1925, the French taxpayers
would be paying 3O,000O00,000 francs
yearly and interest, while the normal
receipts ofsthe 1923 budget viii not ex-
coed $4,000, 100000 francs.

Senator Continues Fight on Re

Speeches.

Boise. Ida, Oct. 21.-"The repub-
lican party is now confronting q situ-
alton where it must furnish a solution
or die, and it must be furnished out
side the republican party in this state
if 1t is furnished at all If this be the
reason, make the most of it"
This is the statement of Senator
W. E. Borah in an address at Cald-
well Friday night. He confined his
talk TO what he termed the two live
issues of the campaign, taxes and the
direct primary.
Borah declared that he realized that
he was not in accord with all the mem.
bers of his party on the primary ip
sue but added that he expressed no
regret.
"Let me say for the good Of nv
party that if the republican party does
not clean house some other party will
clean house for It," Senator Borah as
serted.
Borah's speech is considered By
many leading politicians as his def
ance to the state central committees
efforts to have him recognize the
party's platform and candidates. In
all his speeches In Idaho the senator
has scored the platform, characterizing
it as no better than a scrap of paper.

Washington, Oct. 21.-Provisions of

General Daugherty to prohibit trans

The extension of time ordered by
President Harding to permit ship lines

the ruling expired at midnight and en-
forcement officials declared sugges-

been approved.
1t was considered probable that sew

KA|SER'S MARRIAGE
PLANS KEPT SECRET
DESPITE INQUIRIES
Reporters Unable to Learn De-
tails From Employees of
Ex-EmperOr.

Doom, Holland, Oct. H-(By The
Associated Press.l The veil ~ of
secrecy that has hidden the life of the
ex-kaiser since he took up his resi-
dence in Holland becomes more i'm
penetrable than ever before as Curl
osity increases abroad due to his
Forthcoming marriage with the Prin-
cess of Reuss.
This curiosity does not greatly af-
flict the villagers of Doom. They
view the approaching nuptials with an
air of Indifference, even of boredom.
Nine-tenths of them are austere
Calvanists and they look upon pomp
and panoply as sinful vanities. Being
strict Sabbatharians they disapprove
of Williams choice of Sunday as the
day for the wedding feast.
But they do not say so ont loud
at least the tradesmen who cater to
Williams estate. Workmen who oc-
casionally are given jobs on the estate
are extremely reticent about it all.
Even more silent are those in the
ex-kaiser's encourage. The few who
from time to time are received as
visitors to the former emperor's re-
treat cloak themselves with hauteur
and a superior air of reserve that
even the nerviest reporter cannot
penetrate. All that the correspond
ents have found out is that both the
civil and religious wedding cere-
monies are to take place November s
within the precincts of the chateau and
that they will be attended by a Dutch
government secretary from The
Hague, the governor of the province of
Utrecht, the burgomaster Of Doom, a
few of the Dutch nobility residing on
neighboring estates and about so in
vited guests from Germany, mainly
dignitaries under the old regime, and
army generals.

Passing of Short
Skirt Deplored by
Deans of Women

Chicago, Oct. 21.-Long clinging
skirts, high heels and narrow vamp-
ed shoes did not prove popular at a
meeting of the deans of women's col
leges in Illinois here Saturday. The
heralded departure of the short skirt
was deplored. Due TO the present
sensible styles of dressing the good eff
feet of girls camps and the greater
emancipation of women, the 1922
high school girl is much more vigor-
Gus type than her predecessor of
other years, speakers agreed. Con-
Germ was expressed that a return to
the "slinker' styles would mean that
much gained would be lost.

Canton, O., Oct. 21.-(By The As

campaign speech to the voters Of his
home state, Attorney General Daugh-
erty Saturday night gave an account
ing of his stewardship at Washington,
defended his course in the Chicago in
junction proceedings, and in the pro-
secution of war frauds and declared
that despite accusations and calumny'
the department of justice would pro-
coed to perform it's duties as it sees
them under the constitution.
In the strike emergency, the at
torney general said, the federal gov
eminent views the injunctions as the
least drastic means at hand for re-
scuing the country from "the grip OF
civil war" He ascribed some of the
blsme to "the peculiarities of charac-
ter' of prominent labor leaders, and
some of it to "hard boiled railway
executives, and asserted that any at
torney general who would not have
acted under the circumstances should
be inpeached."
