ASSOCIATED Press. lis investigation of
the Hall-AIills murder ease to be pushed
along new lines. or is the inquiry to be
dropped at least for the present?
This question today apparently hung on
conference which Attorney. General
Thomas f, McCran has indicated he viii
hold with Special Deputy Attorney Gen
cral Wilbur \. Mott. who yesterday failed
10 obtain from the Somerset county grand
jury in Somerville indictment OF three
persons whom the state Indicated it be-
lieved responsible for the shooting of Rev
Edward Wheeler Hall and Mrs. Eleanor
r, Mills. Detectives and state troopers
indicated today that they were without
orders. Mr.. Mott. after the jury fled
out, deciding to lay the matter over. ex-
pressed himself as being in state OF sus-
pended animation.
Many residents of Somerville. who
have contended that the double slayins
after all was not half as much the affair
of Somerset county as of MiddlesGX. in
which the slain pair had resided. indi-
Gated that they would be content if the
ease We're allowed TO drop,
In New Brunswick, however, there was
evident a strong Discrimination to permit
the case to fall into the class Of unsolyed
crimes.
Persons who wish the investigation
continued, pointed hopefully to the fact
that Mrs. Jane Gibson, hailed by the
state as its star witness, still WAS under
close observation at her pig farm. This.
they speculated, indicated that the in
quiFy was to be pushed further.
The only expression coming from the
home of Mrs. Frances Noel Hail. widow
of the slain rector was uttered by her
lawyer. Timothy n Pfciffer. He said be
sincerely hoped the authorities would
continue their search for the guilty.
Florence North. attorney for Charlotte
Mills. daughter OF the slain choir singer.
contributed the cryptic remark that re-
fuSal of the grand jury to return an in-
dictment was no surprise TO her. She
added that she would turn over to the au-
thnrities important evidence in hey pos
session.
Miss North has clung to the theory
that the murdered pair were kidnapped
by hired assassins.
For reasons which seem to them suf
ficient and controlling, the grand Jury
took no action in the Hall-AtillS murder
case and laid the matter over. This does
not mean necessarily that the matter can
rot he taken UP again bv this or a Su0se-
Oucnt grand Jury" With these words,
Foreman Glib Of the Somerset county
grand jury late Yesterday made known
the fact that no Indictment had been re
turned.

Drive Against Erie Tssues

A concerted attack was made on the
Erie issues in yesterdays early trad
ing, presumably by operators who felt
that the Chicago & Alton receivershsp
was bearish argument on other low
priced rails. At one time the first pre-
ferred was off 3ss points, the second
preferred and the common 2A. Be-
fore the close, however, recoveries
took place which made the net losses
range from ia to 19s points. The
general opinion was that the sharp
break in the stocks was purely mar
ket matter and was not due to any un-
favorable turn in the company's af-
fairs. Erie's July earnings made a
poor showing, with an operating deficit
Of $742,330, following a loss Of $685.

100000 in dividends. Even allowing
for the strike, which has tied UP min

Copper producsion Ret arded

Shortage Of skilled workers, such as
miners and shopmen, has retarded pro-
duction at the. copper mines to q
greater extent than expected. 1t Is .esti-
mated in the trade, however, that the
porphyries are now operating at, not
far from the so per cent capacity that
they had in mind when operations were
resumed last spring Comparison of
present copper production with the
peak Of the war period is declared to
be manifestly unfair, but it is pointed
cut that comparison of the total sales
by the various Eastern selling agencies
III 1914 with those of the present is en-
tirely in order. Domestic business dur
ing June and July of the present year,
according to "The Engineering and
Mining Journal-Press," is seen to be
ESQ per cent of what il was in the cor
responding months of 1914 and the ex-
port business Ill per cent. There
FORE" comments "The Journal" "al-
though present prices are much lower
than the general commodity level, the
volume of sales must be regarded rs
encouraging, considering the unsettled
condition of European finance. It must
be admitted, however. that the summer
of 1914 was a very quiet one in the cop
per market, with consumption not
equal to production"

Coal Loadings About Normal

The record of coal loadings during
the first three days Of the last week,
according to railroad officials, indicates
loadings for the entire week will
reach about 100000 tons, or approx
mately normal figure. Wednesdays
loadings totaled 1921 cars, an in
crease of ffty-eight over the preced-
ing day, and the second largest load.

United Retail stores Dividend

Directors Of the United Retail Stores
Corporation are scheduled to meet next
Wednesday, and 1t was reported In the
Street yesterday that dividends are
likely to be resumed on the stock at
that time. 1t is believed that the old
per cent rate will be restored. What
ever dividend is paid, however, the
new Tobacco Products Corporation
will be the chief beneficiary, because
It owns about 10 per cent of Retail
Stores stock. AS the earnings of the
old Tobacco Products Company are
understood to have been sufficient TO
meet all dividends on the new Class A
stock, the additional funds coming
from Retail Stores will be available

Rock Island got within fraction of
