New Brunswick, N. J., Sept. 1S.-
The question of where Rev. Edward
H. Hall, rector of the fashionable
Church of st. John the Evangelist,
and his choir leader, Mrs. James
Mills, were slain shared almost
equally in interest with that of by
whom they were slain, as authori-
ties of two counties began today
their third days inquiry into the
mysterious double Staying.
Although they displayed unusual
reluctance on the point, it was ap-
parent that detectives working on
the case were not convinced that
the rector and Mrs. Mills met death
beneath the apple tree, in the broad
field of waving goldenrod, where
the bodies were laid out as If for
burial.
Middlesex authorities are not Of
ficially on the case, as the spot
where the bodies were found is
over the line in Somerset county.
But unofficially they were extreme
ly active about this city, where, it
is certain, the tragedy had its be-
ginning, if not its end.
Question Relatives.
Mills, the widower of the tragedy
Mrs. Hall, the widow, and her
brother Willie, an eccentric, were
the figures about whom the inyes-
tigation revOlved. '-

All three were expected to be
questioned again today-Mrs. Hall
for further details Of her nocturnal
wanderings in the early hours OF

committed; Mills, for the story OF
his own wanderings at the same

Bodies Moved After Death.
The theory that the rector and
his choir leader had been slain
elsewhere and the bodies removed
to Somerset county complicates the
investigation. 1t was based chiefly
on conditions at the spot where
they were found. Although tender
notes believed by the authorities to
have been written by Mrs Mills to
Mr.. Hall were strewn about the
bodies, the minister's frock was
neatly buttoned up the front and
all of his clothing was immaculate
as when he had first donned it.
Even his eyeglasses were carefully
adjusted to his nose, though his
hat was over his face. Mrs. Mills
body, too, was carefully laid out.
Not a crease Of her plated skirt
was disarranged. Her hands were
folded across her breast and her
scarf was draped across the face.

WAR MARKET
BOOSTS WHEAT
Dealings Larger Than for Months;
Values Rise More Than Five
Cents q Bushel.

Chicago, Sept. 1S.-An out-and-
out war market developed today in
the wheat trade. Dealings were on
a larger scale than for months past
and before the first half of the
board of trade session was ended
values had risen more than five
cents a bushel, December delivery
touching $1.067s, as against s1.Olb
to $1.01A at the close on Saturday.
One of the most widely known
spectators who early in 1922 was a
leader in a movement to hoist
prices, but who recently has been
on the opposite side of the mar
ket, was said to have switched sud

Other individual dealings were lost
sight of in the general rush to buy
on account of war news.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 1S.-
Treasury officials today prepared
the data which President Harding
will transmit to congress in Veto
ing the bonus bill which has just
been passed by both houses.
The president will contend that
in principle the bonus is not unde-
served but that America cannot af-
ford to pay it at this time. Hanford
MacNider, commander of the
American Legion, and his legisla-
tive committee asked Mr.. Harding
for a final opportunity to present
their views before he takes action
and this was readily granted. But
the presidents mind is made up
facts and figures furnished by Sec
retary Mellon have long ago per-
suaded Mr.. Harding that this was
an inopportune time to increase
government expenditure. Very lit
tie that is new in the way of argu-
ment may be expected in the veto
message-the situation has not
changed much since Mr.. Harding
wrote Chairman FOrdney of the
house ways and means committee
that unless a sales tax was levied
the legislation should be postponed
U. S. Deficit Growing.
The only change in the situation
really is the added uncertainty
about the collection of interest
from European powers on the wal
debt. Originally, it was contended
that in spite of the apparent defic-
its this year in government finan-
. ces, the income from foreign coun.
tries would be a material factor iI
making possible the payment o.
adjusted compensation to soldiers
While Great Britain is paying some
interest on the war debt, the nego
tiations thus far between thu

vorably. On top of that the defici
for the coming year is greater thai
anticipated. 1t was at first esti
mated at $500, 100000, but Their
are signs that it will grow larger
From the political angle the sit
uation is not relished either by tn
administration, which opposes tn
bonus or by the members Of con
gress who have voted for it. Pres

Perjury

Chicago, Sept. 1S.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press. .)-Donald R. Richberg,
attorney for B. M. Jewell, and John
Scott, told leaders Of the striking
rail crafts, he has asked Judge
James H. Wilkerson to strike out
of the record the 600 affidavits of
strike VIOLENCE presented last week
by Attorney7General Daugherty's
assistants.
I'VE have found that some of
them we have had a chance to in
vestigate are deliberate and wilful
perjury" he declared.
The defense attorney objected to
the affidavits on the ground that:
Their volume made it impos-
sible to investigate their truth.
2-The method of presentation
was unfair.
3-The defense was given an in
adequate time to prepare an an
swer. The rights of the defend
ants are not properly protected he
said, if the government is permitted
to submit unsupported evidence
which by it's sheer volume makes it
impossible to properly investigate
it.
After a conference in which
Judge Wilkerson indicated the mere
mass of evidence was no ground
for throwing it out Of court, re-
cess was taken while the defense
attorneys debated asking for a
continuance to permit them to ex-
anime the governments evidence.
AS the restraining order now in
force expires Thursday and cannot
be renewed, a continuance prob.
ably would cause it to lapse auto

Constantinople, Sept. 49, CBy

arriving here today from Smyrna
gave graphic descriptions Of the

Smyrna for 10 years, said the Turk

Christians and then deliberately set
fire to the city in order to cover up
their crimes.
Some of the inhabitants, driven
insane by the reign of terror which
ensued, rushed to the harbor and
drowned themselves. A natural

dead when the Kemalites seized
his wife and sister. Other Ameri-

BIG ELEPHANT
FOUND GUILTY
OF SABOTAGE
Nolu He's Restrained
by Injunction,
and Chain.
By ], r, CAMPBELL.

Consolidated Press Correspondent
Copyright, 1922. by The Argus.)
New York. Sept. ,18.-The inalien-
able constitutional rights Of
elephants to peanuts and parades
occupied the resentful mind Of
Khertoum, once the pride and boast
of the Bronx zoo today as he rocked
above his stout picket pen. His
cogitations resulted in no direct ac-
ton, however, for Khartoum was
under restraint, not only by injunc-
ton but by a stout chain. He gave
frequent expression to his wrongs,
however, for the right of free
speech was not denied him and
what he said in his earnest trum-
petings about his keeper, Dick
Richards, far exceeded in virulence
anything voiced by labor leaders
over the Daugherty Injunction.
Yesterday afternoon Khartoum
went on strike and he did not con-
fine his activities to quiet picketing.
He was guilty of riot, sabotage, as
sault and disturbance of the peace
and dignity OF the Bronx ZOO.
Jealous of ~Alice."
Khartoam's strike all grew out of
the fact that his mate Alice has
been parading around the park with
a houdah filled with children on her
back and garnering excessive
wages thereof in the shape of pea
nuts, pettings and ear scratchings.
Khartoum in his time carried
princes and potentates under trap
pings of cloth of gold and he felt
he was being sadly Disseminated
lagainst.
Moreover, solicitation of peanuts
and popcorn from. passersby found
the public Sunday afternoon
strangely apathetic. His keeper
said today that was Khartoum's
own fault for he is a respected but
lunloved figure because of his RACES,
furies, wraths, cholera and indigna-
tions.
Throws Rail Iron.
The final straw came when Alice
numbered slowly by his cage gath
lering peanuts right and left. Khar-
! 'toum curled his trunk through the
bars in one final appeal for recogni-
tion. All he got was laugh and a
| couple of empty shells. His little
eyes grew red, his ears spread like
sails and with trumpet of rage he
dashed for the iron fence of his
cage. The sfence withstood the
shock but he wrapped his trunk
around a crosspiece of railroad iron
weighing about two tons, ripped il
from its fastenings and tossed il
high in the air over the crowd.
With the first blare of rage the
crowds scattered, all except Mrs
Josephine Geigerich., Her two chill
,dren, Frederick, years old, and
Leonard, 10 months Of age, were
playing on the grass before the
cage. She dashed to sweep them
fup but they eluded her frantic
grasp as each rolled In q different
direction.
Woman Slightly Hurt
The beam struck Mrs. Geigerich
a giancing blow in the side as II
touched the ground but missed the
children who were unhurt.
Keeper Richards and an assist.
ant rushed into the cage. prodded
Khartoum away from the fence be-
/ fore he could do further damage
and chained him securely. Mrs
Geigerich was treated at the pari
!hospital and will. recover.
But the injunction against further
strike activities against Khartoun
twas made permanent.
