SECRET "PosToFFICE USED BY
 REV. HALL AND MRS. MILLS

New Brunswick. N. J., Oct. 5.-Au- thorities Investigating the double nlur- der of Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall, and his choir singer Mrs. Eleanor Reinhardt Mills today claimed to have discovered the secret -pestofice' used by the col- pie in exchanging love notes.
 This postofice" proved to be an old packing box. nusty and dirty. in the cellar of the Church of St. John the Evangelist
 The cellar is little used. Two weeks ago James " Mills, sexton and husband of the murdered woman. claimed to have the only key to it. He said he l went there only to tend the furnace. A trap door to the left of the altar opens into the cellar, but there are no stairs leading down and the only en- trance is from the outside. through a 1 door below the window of the pastor s study.
 Finding of the box came almost sim ultaneously with discovery of letters written by Hall to Mrs. Mills County Detective David pointed out that thess letters were the first which showed the minister had replied to love notes from i the woman, and proved that he recipro- cated her affection.
 Besides the secret "postoffiee," detec- tiyes today announced they had discoy- cred an elopement fund which investi- gators. believe the minister intended tu use to finance 8 trip to the Orient with Mrs Mills.
 The detectives said they had found untrue reports that the pastor S private safe deposit vault contained only s10.. 900. inherited from his mother-in-law and a s1,O00 insurance policy, namine his mother as beneficiary.
 Cashed away in the vault, the inves tigators said. was $S0,000 in securitie. convertible at short notice.
 Detectives became enthusiastic oye 1 their progress and indicated that one ol
 more arrests might be expected within
 48 hours.
 They even called reporters into Prose
 cutor Stricker's off1ce-a room hither:,
 barred to newspapermen-an read ex
 tracts from one written by Mrs. Mill
 found in Halls pockets. T love you so much" it read. CT : love you, love you so much" Corroboration of old stories served t reconstruct general features of tn ] shooting, on or near the lonely farm
 house where tke bodies were found. Mrs. Annie Hoag, who lives in a farr , house about 500 yards away. broke persistent silence by telling Detectiv
 David that she had heard shots tn
 night, three weeks ago, when the doubl
 staying occurred.

 DETRIMENTAL FREIGHT RATES

Boston. Oct. 5.--An= effort to exclude the New York Produce Exchange and the New York Merchants Association as petitioners in the attempt of New Eng land business interests to obtain t1s elimination of differentials in freight rates unfavorable to this section, was made today at the hearing before Ex- aminer Charles F. Gerry of the Inter- state Commerce Commission.
 Attorney Henry w. Bickle. reNessht- ing the Pennsylvania railroad, said that the railroads would suffer a considerable loss of revenue if New York were to be allowed rate reductions similar to such as may be given Boston. New York, he said, had not been mentioned in the ori- ginal petition. Examiner Gerry reserved decision on admission of the New York petitions.
 Mayor James M. Curley. asserting that no foreign shipping had come here | in two years because it could not obtain ballast cargoes of grain for the return voyages, said this port was doomed commercially unless relief came.
