COUNTY JAIL POPULAR
118 Men and Women at Present

118 Men and Women at Present
There on Vacation"
In common with all places of
rest during the summer, Hotel
Cloud" as the county jail at Mays
Landing is called, is almost filled
at present. There are 118 men
and women confined in the insti-
tuition, the record number incar-
cerated being 125 at this time
last summer
One prisoner, bidding his fellow
inmates goodbye, said: "Tm go
ing to finish my vacation tomor-
row."
There are several regulars who
seem to consider a Jail sentence
in the light of a vacation, as they
frequently manage to do some
thing that will land them back at
the institution, and most of these
are putting in the hot weather
behind the cold steel bars.

 ABOUT ANDREWS
Questions Arise in Commons
 About Negotiations

London, July 19 GP) - Negotia- tons between British officials and Brigadier General Lincoln c. An drews, American prohibition en- forcement chief, today were brought up in the house of commons by Grant Morden, conservative.
 MT. Morden brought the matter up at the end of the regular ques- ton period but his question was not answered by Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs Locker-Lamp- son, who contended that he had not received advance notice of the in terrogation.
 Mir. Morden wanted to know whether any negotiations were be- ing undertaken by the British gov ernment with the United States government with reference to the importation of liquor into the United States. He also wanted to know whether the foreign secretary would give an understanding that no further treaties involving the search of ships outside of terri torial waters and British empire ports, be conceded without consul tation with the house of commons
 The speaker upheld Under Secre- tary Locker-Lampson's point that the questions need not be answered at present inasmuch as advance notice of them had not reached the foreign office.

HALL MILLS INQUIRY
New Jersey State Police Starts To- day To Inquire Further Into Re- ported New Evidence.

Trenton, N. J., July 19 Pl-Cap- tain John J. Lamb, commander of headquarters troops of the state police, left Trenton early today for the scene of the unsolved Hall- Mills murder, to check up on new developments In the crime brought out in the marriage annulment peti- tion filed in chancery court here by Arthur s. Riehl. Riehl charged that his wife, formerly a parlor-maid in the rectory of the Rev. Dr. Edward Wheeler Hall at New Brunswick, knows who killed the minister and his choir leader. Mrs. Eleanor Mills, on a Somerset county farm.
 In addition to Captain Lamb, a trooper whose identity is being kept secret has been detailed to conduct a finish search for clues to the slayer or slayers. Both Captain Lamb and the trooper are under orders to re- port to no one except Major Bark o. Kimberling, acting superintendent of the state police.
 Most of the things brought out in Riehl's petition have been on file at our headquarters for q long time, |" Major Kimberling said. They are of such a nature that they must be re- garded as purely circumstantial. We hope for some new break in the case to give us the key to the solu- ton of the crime"

GENERAL MOTORS
 HITS TOP FIGURE
Establishes New High Record
 for All Time
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
 New York, July Establishment Of new high record for all time by General Motors common, which crossed 170 on a large volume of trading, featured the resumption of the broad upward movement in to- days stock market. Bear traders, aided by a large volume of profit taking in recent strong spots. stub bornly contested the advance, and succeeded in bringing about sharp recessions in several specialties.
 The renewed collapse of the French franc caused some urgent liquidation of French government and municipal bonds, but apparently was without effect on stocks, buying of which was influenced by a lower ing of the call money rate, and gen. crally favorable weekend trade and earnings reports. Steel shares held relatively steady. the softenlng of scrap steel prices in some districts being counteracted by reports of an unusually small seasonal decrease in production and incoming business.
 Strong pools were at work in the motor group, which is believed to harbor large short interest built up in expectation of severe price-cutting and a sharp falling off in car sales, which, to date, has failed to materi alize. In the oil group, simms petro leum sank to a new low for the year and the others were in supply on reports Of another new field ba- ing opened in Texas.
 Lackawanna, which Is reported 10 have shown unusually good earnings last month, was one of the leaders in the railroad group. Marine pre- ferred was heavy on selling inspired by the recent breakdown of negotia- ttons for the sale of the White Star fleet.
