HALL-MILLS ACCUSED HIT CARD POINT Fingerprints on Bit of Pasteboard Not Those of Willie Stevens. TWO EXPERTS TESTIFY Both Positive in Attack on State’s Theory. Bv United Press fIERVILLE, X. J. N Nov. 23. H. Taylor, a fingerprint exof the Navy Department, testifying for the defense in the HallMills murder trial today, said the fingerprints introduced by the State were not those 'of Willie Stevens. The prints # in question were on a card found on the body of the Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall. The State experts had identified them as Stevens’ prints. “There are seven or eight distinct differences in the two prints,” he said in answer to a question by defense counsel. The defense attorney then asked a long hypothetical question tracing the history of the calling card, and asking if the print would have en dured for development under the conditions to which the card was subjected. Taylor said he thought it would he unlikely that the print would have i lasted. Fred Sandburg, in charge of the criminal identification bureau of the w Washington (D. C.) police department, was. the next witness. Sandburg said he had been a finger print expert since 190(1 and had personally handled and classified 40,000 prints. He attacked identification of the card. “Are the two prints the same?” he waff asked. More to Exhibits D-27, I>-28 “They are not from the same finger,” replied the witness. ► Saldburg came from the stand and pointed out the alleged differences in the two prints. Indications that the prosecution, w|HUnter much of its fire against Stevens, erratic brother of Henry Stevens and Mrs. Hall in the trial of the*trio on charges of murder in connection with the death four, years ago of the Rev. Dr. Edward W. Hall and Mrs. Eleano** Mills} have developed in cross-exami-nation of defensef witnesses. Willie, 54 years old, has sat quietly and at times smilingly in court while Special Prosecutor Alexander Simpson has attempted to prove that he was excessively dull witted, was subject to eplieptic fitr, was inclined to outbursts of fiery temper and unaccountable rages and was .nursing a secret hatred of Mrs. Mills for having worried his sister. The defense side of tha picture is something else. His counsel admits that he may not be "absolutely normal” mentally, but insist that he is better read than the average man. He is interested in engineering and science, Dr. Lawrence Runyon, family physician, testified yesterday. “Did he read books-on surgery?” Simpson put in at this point, and the doctor answered in.the negative. One detected that Simpson was insinuating Willie might have been responsible for the slit throat of Mrs. Mills, who was murdered on tho night of Sept. 14, 1922, as she kept a tryst with Dr. Hall on the Phillips farm, near New Brunswick. The defense claims A that Willie ■has never had epilepsy, has never, in fact, been the victim of a serious disease such as would tend to der range his mind and make him liable to sexual or anti-social abnormalties. , Goht Planes Again Await Flight Start Bv United Press WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.—Delayed in their original plans to start their nonstop seaplane flight from Hampton Roads to Panama yesterday, the two PN-10 planes, commanded by Commander H. T. Bartlett, were ready again to hop off today if weather conditions clear up, the Navy Department was informed by radio. Choppy seas at Norfolk and warnings of storms in the Caribbean, kept the two giant planes riding' at anchor. Commander Bartlett is determined to take no unnecessary chances upon- bringing disaster to his flight, aimed to set anew 2,100mile record over water.

Citing the fact that 360 cities have adopted the city manager form of government as the most convincing argument in its favor, J. W. Esterline, of the Esterline-Angus Company, discussed the business-like system before the Indianapolis Council of Women at a luncheon today at the Third Christian Church, Seventeenth St. and Broadway. City Corporation Counsel Alvaji J. Rucker defended tho present political system on the gorund that it was “good enough for Hamilton and Jefferson, and it's good enough for us ” “Need More Purity” “The trouble is that the high principles of the present system are not carried out. Politicians take advantage of the old system. We need more purity in official circles,” he asserted. Charles F. Coffin, executive chairman of the city manager movement here, declared that “more and more, leading citizens are becoming convinced thut the nonpartisan plan should be adopted.” Not Directed at Individuals Coffin, who recently returned from St. Louis, where he attended a conference of city manager leaders from all parts of the country, pointed out that the committee’s program is not directed at any individuals or any administration. “We are convinced that a nonpartisan business administration of city affairs is the only hope for the future,” said Coffin.

Ex-G. 0. P. Chairman Did Not Get. Summons in Time to Appear. Lawrence Lyons, former Republican State chairman, has been sought as a witness before the Marion County grand jury in the jury’s probe of political corruption charges, it was learned today. Lyons was subpoenaed before the jury last Friday by letter, but informed Prosecutor William H. Remy that he did not get the subpoena at his home at Brook, Ind., until Saturday evening. Lyons wrote, informing Remy of the reason of his failure to appear. Remy did not say whether or not the former G. O. P. chairman would be subpoenaed again, although he has declared the grand jury would probe an alleged $19,000 gift to Governor Jackson’s 1924 gubernatorial | campaign fund. Charge by Rucker Corporation Counsel Alvah J. Rucker charged that Chicago utility interests made such a gift, and that Jackson agreed to appoint to the public service commission persons favorable to the utilities. Rucker made his charge in a plea for an injunction filed in Circuit Court asking that the public service commission be restrained from authorizing the proposed merger of the Indianapolis Light and Heat and Merchants Heat and Light Companies. Lyons admitted to The Times over long distance telephone that he had talked to Harry Reid, president of tho Interstate Public Service Corporation, an Insull concern, about a contribution to the Republican campaign fund. Works Single-Handed In the meantime today, Remy worke single-handed on the investigation of charges of “Stephensonism” in' Indiana politics. The grand jury heard witness in cases of persons held in Marion County jail on various charges this morning, but was not in session this afternon, Remy said he wanted to spend the day “preparing some stuff for the jury.” It is believed that several new channels for investigation have been opened to the prosecutor since his Monday afternoon conference with Mrs. Martha Dickinson of Seymour, Ind., friend and confidante of D. C. Stephenson. Mrs. Dickinson, according to Remy, was not to come to Indianapolis today and possibily not Wednesday. “When I need her, either before the grand jury or in conference, I shall call her,” Remy stated. The grand jury was dismissed Monday afternoon and Remy questioned Mrs. Dickinson, who is said to hold power of attorney from Stephenson. Special prosecutors Fred Cause and Ralph Kane, and Assistant Prosecutor William H. Sheaffer were in the conference. Mrs. Dickinson made a flying trip to see Stephenson at the Michigan City prison, Friday night. She had appeared at the courthouse that morning after being sought for more than two weeks as a witness.

cm pavhg REPAIR COST INTERESTING 1 Patching With Asphalt Plant Material for $1.60 a Square Yard. ‘AMIESITE’ FOR $3.35 - / Comparison Made After Councilmen’s Attack. When city councilman late Monday scored the condition of Indianapolis pavements, two sets of figures gathered from the city civil engineering department records became unusually interesting to taxpayers. Throughout the summer the board of works experimented with street patching, ran out of funds, decided it might start the city asphalt plant again with funds from the State gasoline tax and at present is debating whether the city shall patch streets or let the job to contractors. Early in the Duvall administration, the board and George Schmidt, then city civil engineer, decided to patch streets with "Amiesite,” a type of material which could be laid on the street cold and obviated the necessity of operating the asphalt plant. Here was to be a great saving for the taxpayers. From March 24 to May 28 the city bought from J. A. McDonald, Apt. 2, 570 E. Fall Creek Blvd., $18,782.63 worth of Amiesite and the street repair gangs patched some streets with it. It took only a few weeks for it to be seen that the patches made with this material would sink below the rest of the street or wrinkle out of place. Some stretches on Senate Ave. bear witness. New Engineer Meanwhile, the board of works and Engineer Schmidt disagreed over something, exactly what has never been made public, and Chester Oberleas of Noblesville was made city ci\ il engineer. The city soon thereafter stopped patching with "Amiesite.” \ The following figures, from the engineering department records, partially tell the story: During nine weeks of the summer the city patched -asphalt streets with tHo regulny asphalt mixture from the asphalt plant, laying a total of 4,511 square yards at the rate of 18.5123 yards to the ton. This cost the city $1,508.54 for operation of the asphalt, plant, $3,295.61 for the labor of laying and $2,446.58 for material. The average cost per square yard of this patching was $1.6072. Amiesite Cast Higher During six weeks of the summer, the city tried to patch with Amiesite. The city used 1,029 tons of the special material, Laying 6,752 square yards or an average of 6.5,617 square yards a ton. This yardage per ton is in contrast to the 18.5123 yards per ton with regular asphalt. The price comparison qlso is interesting. Whereas the average cost a square yard of the asphalt patching was $1,6072, the Amiesite cost $3.3568 a square yard. The city paid $7,535.53 to lay the Amiesite, paid $14,508.90 for the material and $619.35 just to unload the 1,029 tons.

CITY FILES BRIEF AITACKINGLIGHT COMPANYMERGER Upholds Contention Commission Has No Jurisdiction. Briefs attacking the commission’s jurisdiction over the proposed merger of the Indianapolis Light and Heat Company and the Merchants Heat and Light Company were filed today before the public service commission by Alvah J. Rucßer, Charles Mendenhall and John W. Becker, representing the city. Rucker, in his brief, supported the plea made by other opponents of the merger before the commission Monday. The commission took under advisement the jurisdiction matter and granted attorneys two days to file briefs. No definite time for’ ruling was set Quotes Definition In his brief, Rucker quotes the definition of a publio utility in the act of 1913 and asserts that the Indianapolis Power and Light Company, which it is proposed should take over the two local electric utilities, is not a utility under the definition as it has not commenced operation. He declared the consent of the majority of the voting_stock of the two utilities to be merged had not been shown and denied that 'any public necessity of convenience would be served by the merger of the two firms.

To Have Been Presented The petition was to have been presented to the Queen upon her departure from this country, but it is presumed her early departure will make it necessary that it be sent to her. The petition reads: “To the Queen of Roumania: “We present to your Majesty our respectful salutations,'and as citizens of the United States we welcome you to our country as an honored guest. “We take advantage of your presence here to petition your Majesty to give your distinguished personal consideration to those religious minorities in Roumania suffering under the practice of discriminations: Baptists, Jews, Lutherans, Presbyterians, Unitarians and Roman Catholics. We know that hopeful progress has already been niade by the Roumanian government toward a solution of this problem. We rqJoice that the condition of these minorities has been bettered, but much remains to be done, and it is our conviction that if your royal Influence could be further exerted on their behalf their present condi tion would be vastly improved. “We hope that Your Majesty may continue to enjoy your visit, and wish you Godspeed upon your homeward journey.” Unjust Treatment The Rev. Hayward called attention to the unjust treatment accord ed Roumanian Baptists in a statement published in The Times. One of the objects of the Queen's visit to America was to float a loan from Roumania, supporters of the petition declare. American bankers have found that the Trianon treaty, under which minorities are supposed to be governed, is not honored in that country, they assert, and ask she bankers to inquire into that fact before making any loan. “Roumania. pledges full liberty, security of property, equity before law, the full use of minority languages, especially In the courts, the preservation of endowment lahds inviolate for the churches, schools and colleges and State aid to the churches," they say. “All these obligations have been flagrantly violated. with the single exception of aid to the churches, which continues greatly reduced.”

BRING NAME OF HARDING INTO TRIAL Fall and Doheny Disclose Laie President’s Cabinet Relations. CITES SIOO,OOO PAYMENT * Government Point Admitted by Defense. Bn United Press WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.—The defense In the Fnll-Doheny oil trial revealed today what it termed “the inside story” of President Harding's Cabinet relations to disprove the Government's charge that former Secretary of the Interior Fall conspired with E. L. Doheny, oil millionaire, to lease Government oil reserves for a personal consideration of SIOO,OOO. Frank J. Hogan, defense attorney, outlining his case to the jury at the second day’s session of the oil conspiracy trial, declared ho would prove Doheny thought Fall would resign from the Cabinet soon after he gave Fall the SIOO,OOO and before Fall gave him the Elk Hills oil lease. Fall had an agreement with President Harding to retire exactly a year after he took cilice March 4, 1921, said the defense attorney. But Will Hays retired as postmaster general, said Hogan, and Fall stayed in the cabinet “at the personal request of Mr. Hurding." “Mr Harding told Fall ho wanted him tv stay in the cabinet longer because he did not wish it to appear that after a year his cabinet was beginning to disintegrate,” said Hogan. The prosecution will base its case on the contention that two days after Doheny proposed to Fall, that naval, oil reserves be leased to his company, the oil magnate gave the cabinet officer SIOO,OOO In cash, Owen J. Roberts of Government counsel, revealed today in his opening argument. . Outlining the Government’s case, Roberts said Doheny wrote Fall about the leases on Nov. 28, 1921, and that on Nov. 29—the very next day—Fall, asked Doheny for SIOO,OOO. The money was paid by Doheny to Fall In cash Nov. 30, the day following, Roberts said. The prosecutor said Fall used the money to improve his ranch in New Mexico, and a Senate investigating committee uncovered the transaction when It became suspicious of Fall's sudden affluence. Roberts traced the history of the case fully. .Up to Nov., 31, 1921, he said the Government had always followed a policy of conserving oil In i'x great (Turn to Page 5) RAID NETS 33; MANYWANTED Criminals Taken in Roadhouse Near Cleveland.
