Mrs. Frances Stevens Hall and her
brothers. Henry and Willie Stevens.
today were free of the charge OF
numbering Mrs. Eleanor X. Mills four
years ago. A jury acquitted them
last night.
They still are under indictment for
the killing of the Rev. Edward
Wheeler Hall, but Attorney General
Edward L. katzenbach indicated
that these indictments and two
against Henry De LaBruyerc Car
pender, awaiting trial for the double
murder. would be quashed. Carpen-
der and the Stevens brothers were
held in Jail over the pending indict.
ments and Mrs. Hall was free on
$4,000 bond.
Mrs. Gibson Not Told
Mrs. Jane Gibson, chief accuser of
the defendants, is critically i'll in u
Jersey City hospital and may never
learn that her story Of having seen
the murder was discredited by the
jury. She was not told of the ac-
quittal. Hospital attendants said
she might die without recovering
sufficiently to be told.
Justice Charles W. Parker, who
presided ut the trial, announced that
he would give hearing today on ap-
| plication of the prisoners for bail
| Attorney General Katzcnbach be-
llcvcs the additional indictments
should be quashcd, and has SO in
formed Governor Moore, Justice
Parker, and Special Prosecutor
Alexander Simpson.
The jury dcliberatcd five hours
and eight minutes before bringing in
separate vcrdicts. 1t is said that
three ballots were taken, the first
sanding 10 to for acquittal, the
| second II to l and the third unani-
nous.
The defendants heard the verdicts
calmly, Henry Stevens, being the
only one to show outward emotion
| Tears came into his eyes, and he
wiped them away before grasping
his wife's hand. He then smiled
broadly. Willie accepted his vindica-
tion with his customary beaming
smile, and Mrs. Hall smiled momen-
tarily but quickly resumed the digni-
fled reserve which was hers through
out the month Of the trial.
Fair Trial Called Impossible
Special Prosecutor Simpson said
he favored having tine fslnalnlmk IN
dictments pressed, subject to the
opinion of Governor Moore. He re-
asserted his charge that it was inn
possible to gain "a fair trial" in
Somerset county.
Mrs. Hall went to her home in
New Brunswick and found many
friends and neighbors waiting to
congratulate her.
II am SO happy, SO happy, ] can
not tell you how happy / am" she
said from the steps Of her home.
The verdict leaves the staying Of
the Rev. Mr.. Hall and Mrs. Mills on
= deserted farm outside New Bruns-
wick on the night Of September -,
1922, as great . mystery rs ever.
The states case was built entirely
on circumstantial evidence with the
exception of the eye witness story Of
Mrs. Gibson. Her tsstimony was
bitterly attacked by the defense.

5000 AUT0ISTS
EVADE TAX

More than 5000 motorists an
nually defraud the District govern
ment out of personal taxes by
giving fictitious namesa and ad-
dresses when obtaining automobile
tags, it was declared at the Dis
trict Building today.
Chatham Towers, collector Of
taxes, said that 5000 certificates
warning automobile owners that
failure to make q return would
cost them 90 per cent penalty had
been returned In 1926 by the Post
office Department marked mot
found"
Despite this. it was said. hum
dreds of bills were mailed out by
Assessor William p. Richards to
the same addresses.
No estimate could be given Of the
exact amount OF money that the
Government loses annually, but 1t
has run into hundreds OF thousands
of dollars since the tax law went into
effect in 1917.
Some May Have Paid Up.
''of course" Towers said, 'rnany
OF the 5000 persons not found by
the malls may have come In and
voluntarily paid their bills. but there
are no records to show how many
owned automobiles or how many
were paying taxes on other tangible
personal property"
Towers has asked Corporation
Counsel Francis fl. Stephens to aid
in the drafting of a. bill for submis
sion to the next Congress which
would provide for the payment of
personal taxes on automobiles at
the same time tags are procured
Such system, he explained,
would enforce the payment OF taxes
and would show that no motorist
was evading payment.
How Evader Is Penalfzed
Tax Assessor Richards was asked
what happened when q car owner
failed to make a return.
1--WE penalize him." declared
Richards.
"How?"
1--WE put him on the books" he
answered.
'And then what?" came the In
Quiry.
I'VE send him a BILL"
"And il the bill is disregarded?''
1--WE put him on the sub-ledgers."
What embarrassment this causes
the machine owner who never
shows UP at the collectors office
was not explained, as 1t was ad-
mitted that automobiles were rarely
seized.

NAVY BUILDING
FLOORS SAC

Gradual sagging of the floors OF
the Navy and Munitions Buildings
Is causing officials considerable
worry.
Only q small sum Is on hand for
repairs and practically every foo.
on the south side of the two
buildings is showing signs o. drop
ping.
This. week two OF the rooms OF
the naval dispensary in the ninth
wing OF the Navy Building had to
be temporarily abandoned while
entirely new floors are constructed.
On "Made" Ground
The made" ground on which
the buildings are located IL the
cause of the trouble.
The walls are built on founda-
tions which have been placed on
firm ground under the surface. The
floors. however. are merely laid
over the surface OF the sinking
ground.
In some cases this has necegsi-
tated the removal of partitions
which have sagged as q result of
the dropping OF the supporting
floors.
Desks Askew
Workers in the rooms where the
floors are sinking are finding It
difficult to keep their tables and
desks on q level.
Officials are repairing the worst
parts of the floors, but lack OF
funds badly handicaps the work.

LUTHER BEATEN
ON LOCARNO
Ry InternatlonaI sow servlee

;
BERLIN. Jan. 36.-sour foreign
policy is determined by the Locarno
treaty" declared Chancellor Luther
in the Reichstag this afternoon
making his ministerial declaration.
The question of Germany's en-
trance into the League of Nations
is the most important decision that
confronts the government, the
chancellor said. The government
suffered a defeat Immediately after
Chancellor Luther's declaration.
Nationalist proposed that the
debates upon Germany's entrance
to the League be coupled with the
debate upon the ministerial decla-
ration, and this proposal was
adopted over the opposition Of the
government minority parties.
The chancellor's speech was de-
livered in the midst Of an almost
constant uproar. Communist mem
bers started the tunlult by attack
ing Luther
