Courthouse, somerville, N. J.,
Nov. 10 R-Evidence was offered
by the state in the Hall-Mills case
today manifestly intended to show
that the bodies Of Rev. Edward W.
Hall and Mrs. Eleanor r. Mills wers
buried with almost precipitats
haste.
A physician who performed the
first of three autopsies testified that
his examination was made two weeks
after the burial of Mrs. Mills, and
another physician said that the only
post-mortem wound found on the
slain woman's body resulted from an
examination revealing that she was
not to become a mother.

formed the first autopsy, told of his
examination. his explanation Of the

DR.. Z. l. Cronk said that the
bodies were buried without an au-

REAL SUFFERING FROM
COLD SPELL IN WEST
Air Mails Delayed by Snow
and Train Schedules
Are Also Interrupted

Chicago, Nov. 10 Pl-The middle
vests cold wave moved toward the
Atlantic seaboard today from the
western Canadian plains to touch
the Texas Panhandle and leave snow
tracks across the corn belt.
Low temperatures, snow and
chilling rains followed in the wake
Of the winds, which assumed gale
force at times. and the mercury
lowered unseasonably close to the
freezing point and below.
Cloudy skies brought slightly ris-
ing temperatures to the westward,
with promise of warmer weather
generally by tonight or tomorrow
but the cold and snow flurries hung
on over the eastern end Of the corn
belt.
The government forecast was for
unsettled weather and more snow
fall in the north and middlewest,
while the storm center pursued a
northeasterly course from the
southwest to Ontario.
The premature arrival of winter
found the midwest all unprepared.
and there was suffering from the
cold in the cities, with many de-
rands to charities for fuel.
There were no particularly severe

below at Minnedosa, in Canada, was
the lowest reported. Temperatures
in the midwest hung around 20 de-
grees during the night.
Most trains ran nearly on time
but one was twenty hours late at
the terminal. The air mail was de-
layed by snow squalls and on the
Great Lakes many lake freighters
anchored in the lee of breakwaters.
Washington, Nov. 10.-tP-Cold-
er weather for nearly all sections OF
the east is the weather outlook for
tonight.
Cold wave warnings have been is
sued for northern New England and
the northern portions of eastern
New York. Frosts are probable to-
night as far south as Central Flori-
da.
The weather already has become
much colder over the eastern half
of the country except New England,
while there has been reaction to
higher temperature in the Canadian
northwest and the northern
plateau regions.
Although the thermometer will
register below normal Thursday in
the eastern portions, it will begin
to rise in Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee
and the east gulf states Thursday,
the weather bureau says, and it will
rise on Friday generally east of the
Mississippi river.

BERLIN. June 9.--Singers and
scrubwomen work about equally hard.
A pianist uses up 10 times as much
energy as a tailor, and a violinist or
cellist three times as much as typist.
These are some of the conclusions

much energy the musical career re-
quires.
The process adopted was that Of

ments We're taken of various cate
gories Of manual workers while at
rest and while engaged on their Jobs.
II was found that a Scrubwoman ex.
nends so per cent more energy while
scrubbinc than when resting. The
singers rating was So per cent.
Though the red face and puffed-up
checks of q trombone player may seem

than does a piano player. vet his rat
ing by the two investigators was only
81 per cent compared with that of the

SENATE MAY DROP
SOME DRY BILLS
Steering Committee Wants

Prohibition will come before the

Republican steering committee has its
way.
In mapping out program of meas

in the Eolstead act. although giving
place to measures to raise the pro-
hibition unit and the customs service
to the status of bureaus and to bring
enforcement agents under civil se.N

Want June adjournment.


This was the situation that caused
the steering committee to leave the
hill out of its program over the Nigor-
Gus protest of Senator Willis. Re
publican. Ohio. A majority felt that
if the bill should be called UP the
Senate wouldn't be able to adjourn
for number of weeks. and the pur-
pose of working out the program
was to make adjournment possible by
the end of June.
Another item likely to produce
long fight-the French debt settle
ment-also has no place on the COM
mittees preferential program. 1t was
not technically before the committee
and some Republican leaders held that
since ratification by the French Parlia-
ment probably will be delayed there
is little prospect of action by the

Senator Reed said the measure
would have nullified the efforts of

described as one of the most diligent,

his point, although he thought it

Baird obtained records of conversa-

to dismiss several agents working
under him. This would not have been
possible. the Senator said. If the
agents had been under civil service.
