FRANKLIN TOWNSHIP SCHOOL TO BE READY FOR PUPILS BY 1923 (Special to The Palladium) WHITEWATER, Ind., Oct 18. AI- ' though the construction of the Franklin township high school la not yet half completed. Trustees Curtis beHere the building can be occupied some time In January. The building, one of four rural high i schools now under construction in Wayne county, will be one of the finest institutions of its kind in Indiana. Its cost, exclusive of furnishings ani heating plant, will be $52,000. At the time the plan for the erection of the school was first proposed there was considerable opposition, es pecially among residents of Bethel. There was an Insistent demand for the erection of a new grade school at Bethel. At the present time, it 13 said, criticism of the course pursued by the township school authorities Is almost silenced. The new school is i now generally regarded as the most 'important and beneficial improvetment provided for the community In many years. Provide Heating System. -When . the school is opened early rnext year temporary heating arrangermenta will be provided. It is underfspod. Next summer it Is proposed to install a permanent heating system (and the school authorities believe this can be done with only a slight tax increase. It is believed the premium the township received from the sale of school bonds will cover a large part of the cost of the heating plant. Franklin township does not have a J large population and it is almost exI clusively a rural community, conseI quently the cost of the new school assumed by the taxpayers is a large one. Nevertheless, the bonds have been istsued only against the school township although the state boa-d of accounts gave authority to issue the bonds against both the civil township and the school township. The cost of the building, it is said, comes well within the two percent limit of the net taxable valuation of the school township. When the new high school Is ready for use it ia planned to abandon two of the three schools now operated in Franklin township, one at Marine, the other at Bethel. The school now operated at Whitewater, adjoining the new high school, will be reiained as a grade school. After' the Marine and Bethel schoolB have been closed all grade and high school students not residing in Whatewater will be taken to school and returned to their homes in motor hacks. Two Story Structure The high school, work on which began last July, will be a two-story structure, of brick and concrete construction. Construction of the first story is practially omplete now. One of its features will be a large assembly hall, which can be used as a community center as well as for school purposes. The study and class rooms will be large aond well ventilated and heated, accommodating approximately 300 pupils. Another feature wiU be a well equipped gymnasium, and it is probable the gymnasium will be ready to use by Dec. 1. There will be complete equipment for manual training and domestic science instruction. The first political meeting of the campaign in Franklin township will be held Friday evening by the Republicans at the Methodist church. Addresses will be delivered by Representative Richard N. Elliott and by Mrs. A. W. Roach, of Richmond, vice-chair man of the country central commit tee. Music will be furnished by a glee club.

Spiritualists Paint Rosy Picture Of Future Life (By United Press) CHICAGO, Oct 17. Spiritualists in annual convention here took the sting out of death. The sublime future of departed souls was painted by the delegates, and the picture was calculated .to invite the most skeptic to lay down and die. "Dante's inferno was pure myth the orthodox heaven is a fable and take it from some one who knows, the real paradise is no idle dream, but well worth dying for." John Slater, ace of spirit mediums, who is here to direct the seances thus presented his version of life hereafter.

RECTOR SLAIN BY ACCIDENT AS HE FOUGHT

JEALOUS WOMAN, SAYS By FLORENCE M. XORTR Attorney for Charlotte Mills. Written for The United Press. (Copyright. 1922 by United Press.) Florence M. North, personal attor ney Tor cnariotte Willis ana leaning woman Investigator of the Hall-Mills murder mystery at New Brunswick, N. J-, presents today through tne United Press, her startling theory as to the perpetrator and the means em ployed in the double killing. No investigator in the case has been more, intimately connected than Miss North, who working with a large staff of trained operatives, is determined to run down the murderer of the mother of her client, pitiful child victim of the tragedy. NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J., Oct. 18 Dr. Edward Wheeler Hall was slain by accident as he struggled to defend Mrs. Eleanor Mills against the insane fury of a jealous woman and her confederates. The couple whose bodies were found near Phillips farm on Sept. 16th were either lured separately from their homes, two nights previous or were kidnapped as they made their way to a rendezvous and the woman was mur dered after the rector was accidentally shot This occurred in a vacant build ing, not far from where they were found dead. This, after a thorough investigation with a trained staff of operatives is my theory of the murder. Everything we have been able to discover concerning the crime, deep probes into the past lives and relationships of the principals, sifting of the contradictory tales told by certain persons intimate with the slain couple, all point in this one direction. Woman Instigator. The murder was instigated by a jealous woman. My men have absolutely discarded the possibility that the crime was an accident, and place little credence in any blackmail theory. Each clue, as we unearth it laboriously, a whole month after the finding of the bodies a month of shameful inactivity on the part of the officials, turns the finger of suspicum always toward this jealous woman. We have only scratched the surface in our search and no name among those involved in the tangle has been eliminated. We will proceed regardless of what the authorities may do, until the murder of Charlotte Mills's mother is brought to justice. Poor Charlotte, pitiful little child victim of the grim tragedy, her girlish dreams destroyed, her future a blank, toward which she dances in a mad whirl of excitement. She cannot rest, nor relax. She has suddenly become mature. Child Is Aged Robbed of the lovfng mother who was "more of a sister" to her, Charlotte has aged almost over night No one can take her mother's place in her life, but Charlotte Mills can be avenged. It may be well to give the theory of the murders, which, after a thorough search into the lives of the principles, as Charlotte has helped ma know them, I have evolved. Later, 1 will show how each fresh scrap of evidence which our men dug up, fits in -like a bit of picture puzzle, until the portrait is nearly complete. The murders, we cannot name yet A few more links in our chain and we hope to present the prosecutor with the facts. Thursday night the night of the crime, was not "their night," Dr. Hall and Mrs. Mills were acustomed to meet Tuesday, Fridays, and Sundays. This, to my mind, establishes the fact that their meeting on the night of the murder was unexpected by either. Charlotte Mills tell3 me that her

LEADING INVESTIGATOR

mother received, through a' neighbor, Mrs. Opie, a message to call Dr. Hall Thursday afternoon. She refused the neighbor's Offer of use of her tele phone and ran to a little corner store. What she said, no one knows, but she left home about 7:30 that evening and was never again seen alive by the members of her family. As to the rector's movements just before the crime, we are left in doubt through reticence ofMrs. Hall and her family to permit a thorough investigation. But we know enough to believe Dr. Hall was agitated. I have reason to Ijelieve a member of the Hall household will testify the rector was greatly disturbed. row, what came next? We have the testimony of a witness who saw Mrs. Mills board a car, headed out towards the park, where she and Dr. Hall were wont to meet and discuss poetry and nature ana tne tnmes thev loved, Mrs Mills left the car three blocks before reaching the usual stop at Easton Ave nue, bne walked slowly, hesitantly, looking behind her occasionally. Why uiu sue act mis way? And the rector? We are not absolutely certain, out we nave been told by supposed witnesses that he came alone- nn fnnt a few minutes later, hands in pockets, utau uown, nurrymg. Lost in Darkness The darkness of the night that hung over cuccieucn parn swallowed them up, and from then on it is as yet conjecture as to what xent on until the bodies, side by side, were found beneath the crabapple tree. But my investigations lead me to believe the following scene took place: Mrs. Mills was seized and pushed into an automobile. She was taken to a vacant building, not the Phillips farm, but in a little group of house3 northwestward of the crabapple tree and some distance removed. There she was thrown into a dark room. Next, Dr. Hall was captured and taken there. The couple were confronted with indisputable evidence of an "affair." The rector sprang to Mrs. Mills' defense. He was thrown down. Shot Through Head He arose, fighting, and was shot through the head. They probably had not intended to kill him. Then, doubly outraged, the woman, the mysterious woman, who planned the crime, wreaked terrible vengeance upon poor little Mrs. Mills, enfeebled through a serious operation and weighing but 109 pounds. Mrs. Mills was small, but she fought for her life. She received bruises and scratches in the fight She was shot three times and afterward her throat was cut. The bodies were then taken to the crabapple tree and the letters scattered so that they might seem to have been murdered in a lovers' rendez vous. This, as I see it is probably what happened about 9:30 or 10 o'clock on the night of Sept. 14. Tomorrow I will go into detail as to our search for the perpetrators of this fiendish "'execution" and will tell all we have been able to discover.

MINISTERIAL BROILS IN ROME AND LONDON ? MAY DELAY PARLEY

fBy Associated Press) LONDON, Oct. 18. Allied closely to the ministerial crisis here and that impending in Italy is the question of the general Near East situation peace conference, which it is feared must be postponed until the situation in London and Rome are settled. Remarking Upon this contingency, the diplomatic expert of the Daily Telegraph writes: "The disadvantages of postponement might however, be compensated in some measure if a postponement which will carry the conference well beyond the coming American elections should enable the Washington administration to ascertain the real strength of public feeling in the United States concerning American participation at least within certain limits in the proposed near eastern settlement."
