NO TAX RATE RISE,
$2,158,300,000 Valuation Will
Assure Revenues at Present
Scale, He Asserts
TAKES' RAP AT MOORE RULE
There will be no increase in the tnx
rate for 1023, Councilman Hall said
today In discussing the assessed valua
tion of real estate for next year as com
piled by the Heard of Revision of
Taxes.
Mr. Hall incidentally took n fling nt
the city administration, which he
charged with extravagance and also as
serted that figures submitted showing an
Increase In realty values in rtie central
section of the city was u vindication of
his opposition te the zoning system.
The tax rate of 102.'! will be based en
an assessed valuation of $2,270,(W2.000,
which will net approximately $2,030,
000 additional revenue.
"When the unexpected revenue com
ing te the city Is certified by the City
Controller we will still hnve u deficit of
$1,000,000 te $1,200,000, but this will
ber offset" by" ndditlennl taxes from in
creased nss?ssed valuation of real es
tate throughout the city, leaving us u
surplus of $800,000 te begin next
year." Mr. Hall said.
"While we are somewhat disap
pointed that we will be unable te ric
crcafe the tu xrate. we arc very much
plcaeed that we will net Unci it neces
sary tot place iinv additional tax burden
en the people."
The increases made in taxable valua
tion in the central wards for the pres
ent J cur, as cemnared te last year,
are as follews: Eighth Ward. S187.-
040,:i."0 for this year and $178.1.13.150
for last year, an increase or $s.uiu,
200; Ninth Ward, $221,0r0.410 and
S2M.012.nS3. nn increase of $10,040.-
833, and Tenth Ward, $01,083,750 and
$30.(105,332, an incrense of $4,420,407.
The largest increase in taxable valua
tion made In any of the forty-eight
wards was in the Forty-sixth Werd,
Including the territory west of Forty
fifth street te the Cobbs Creek Boule
vard and south of Market street te Bal
timore avenue. The figures for this
ward for the present year arc $110.
1)08,023, as compared with $90,340,383
for last year, an increuse of $11,501,
640. The Fortieth Ward, which Is south
west of the. Fertv-slxth. is taxed for
the pre'ent vear en a valuation of $09,
703.775 and' for lest year en a valuntlen
of $02,341,091, an increase et $T,:,
081. The lowest assessment for any city
word in which there is no suburban or
farm property is $9,117,300 for the Sev
enteenth Ward, though the Third and
the Twelfth, both small wards, fellow
clevely with totals, respectively, of
$11,(104.850 and $9,707,070. This Is
about half the assessed valuation of the
Wenumnker store, which has been as
sessed for several yenrs considerably in
excess of $18,000,000.
The Sixth Ward, where some of the
largest financial institutions are located,
still leads by a wide margin In the tetul
return of taxable personal property, In
cluding money at interest, stocks, bends,
etc., en which the personal property tax
of four mills en the dollar is collected.
The return from the Sixth Ward of
taxable personal property Is $210,201,
298. The amount of taxable personal prop
erty in the Ninth Ward Is $81,208,708
and in the Eighth Ward $81,085,145.
The largest personal property return
subject te taxation maue by any resi
dence ward is bv the Twenty-second
Ward, vthlch includes Gerniantewn and
Chestnut Hill, whose residents will pay
iiersenal property taxes en a total val
uation of $58,502,212. The smnllet
tinrkniinl oi'enertv return made by any
ward is in the Eleventh, where the total
is only $271,831.

HALL' PREDICTION
MURDERED REM

Mrs. Hall, In First PubllcfState

Theory of Tragedy
HE 'HAD A LOT OF MONEY
IT, WASN'T FOUND SHE SAYS
Husband Was en Way te Mills
Heme te Pay for Operation
for Choir Singer
V a Staff Correwendent
New Brunswick, N. J., Sept. 21.
"My husband was robbed of n let of
money I'bclicve this tragedy was the
outcome of a held-up," said Mrs. Fran
ces Stevens Hall today.
She apeke te the public through n
friend te give the family yerrien of
the murder of the Rer. Edward
Wheeler Hall, rector of the Church et
St. Jehn the Evangelist, and Mrs.
Eleaner Helnhardt Mills, choir singer
nnd wife-of the sexton of the church.
This was Mrs. Hall's first public
statement since the bodies of her hus
band and the "chorister were found
early Saturday en the Phillips farm
two miles from here.
Mrs. Hall had refused heretofore te
meke any statement te the public. She
gave out today.'s interview through Mls
Sally Peters, who has been staying at
the Hall home. Mrs. Hall also de
clared her perfect faith "nnd trust In
her husband. She said she could net
and would net believe there was any
Improper Intimacy between Mr. Hall
and Mrs. Mills.
Confident Nothing Was Wrong
"I am confident there was nothing
wrong," she said. "I feel that this
tragedy was the result of a held-up. On
lhursday evening my husband told me
that he was going te the Mills home
with a let of money, as he wanted te
pay a doctor's bill contracted by Mrs.
Mills ns the result of an operutleh.
"He was going te pay the" money te
Dr. It. L. McKlernan, of New Bruns
wick. The money was being paid by
the church, te be repaid by Mr. Mills
in weekly installments from his salury.
"Mr. Hall had this money in a wallet
In his pocket when he left the house.
A hen tho.ibedles were found this wallet
and a valuable geld watch which my
husband always carried were missing.
I saw my. husband's relations with Mrs.
Mills while she was choir leader, and I
Kiiuw mui mere was nothing between
thcin. Outmarriage was an ideal one.
"On Thursday evening Mr. Hall
went out at 7:30, saying he would be
back In n little while. I waited until
2 o'clock the following morning for him,
and when he did net return 1 went te
the church with my brother, WMle
Stevens, te leek fe him. The church
was locked, and we returned, home. In
the morning I telephoned my cousin,
Edwin Carpenter, and asked him. te
get in touch with the authorities and
ask them te leek for Mr. Hall.
Automobile Net Used
"On Thursday evening my brother
Willie and I were in the house all eve
ning. Our automobile had net been
used ilttse Wednesday evening, und was
net used until the day of Mr. Hall's
funeral."
At the Mills home it was impossible te
learn today whether Mr. Hall had called
there Thursday evening. Mill's daugh
ter, Charlette, refused te discuss the
case.
Mrs. Mills' body was terribly mu
tilated by thu murderer.
This statement was made tedav by
one of the investigators. He declared
the face nnd body of the woman were
beaten nnd hacked, Her clothing was
disarranged, he said, In such a manner
thnt it was evident the murderers had
wreaked an almost Insane vengeance en
their victim.
This circumstance and ether clues
brought te light incline some of the
detectives te believe the minister and
the choir singer wcre kidnapped anil
tortured before they weie murdered.
The slayer, apparently, had been con
tent te kill the minister without maik
ing or murring his body.
Indicates Jealous Weman
Detectives point te the facts and the
deductions they hove made from them
as indicative .of the act of a jealous
woman, who blamed Mrs. Mills meid
than the minister.
This news about the condition of Mrs.
Mills' body held the center of interest
today in tlie murder mjstery with a
long statement made by James Mills,
the woman's husband, ill which he re
Iterates his trust In his wife nnd his
faith in Mr. Hall. The husband de
clared solemnly that "no man who
could preach such sermons could have
been guilty. of misconduct."
Prosecutor Strieker said today that
"Wlllle" Stevens hud been eliminated
from the crime. He was iiiicstleneil nt

Wyllc street, te take a ride, when they
came upon her waiting for a trolley
car at Eighteenth street nnd the. Pnrk:
way shortly after 0 o'clock last night.
Failing in this, one of the men
steneed from the automobile, seized
the fflrl nrnnnd thn waist and lifted

Inside the car when a nurse from the
Mcdlce-Chirurgical Hospital at Eight
eenth nnd Hherrv streets, nttracted by
the girl's hysterical cries, ran te the
corner.
The nurse's screams caused the man
te relinquish his held en the girl and
scramble into the car alongside the
driver. Then the machine sped out the
Parkway toward Falrraeuut Park.
What Men Looked Like
Motorcycle officers started a search
for the men, who have net yet been
found, one of wheiri Is described as
about thirty-five yenrs old, six feet
tall, weighing 200 pounds nnd dark
complcxlened. His companion appeared
te be about forty -five years old with
gray helr und mustnehe. five feet six
Inches tall and weighing 140 pounds.
Miss Pyle, who is employed in the
Bell exchange nt Seventeenth and Arch
streets, left her switchboard at I)
o'clock. Several minutes later she
emerged from the building and looked
down Arch street for the approach of a

Ne cer was in sleht nnd Miss Pyle
decided te walk out the Parkway te
Eighteenth street, where she could beard
a cer after it turned off Arch street.
It took but a short time for the girl
te stroll leisurely along the Parkway
as far as Eighteenth street, where she
stepped.
Standing alone en the curb. Miss
Pyle, who is unusually attractive, was
startled by the sudden touch of a hand
upon her arm. She quickly turned
around and saw a man sinlllnc at her.
Anether was seated at the wheel of an
automobile that had stepped a few feet
uwe.v.
As the operator glanced anxiously
for the approach of a car thu man made
an insinuating remark nnd asked her
te get in the automobile.
"We'll get held of another girl nnd
stage a little party." he said.
Girl Flglrts Abductors
She attempted te free herself from
his grasp, but a voice from the machine
bald :
"Pull her In and we'll give her n
ride. She'll be glad te go en a party.
She's a little bashful, that's all.''
Miss P.ile screamed and struggled,
clawing wildly, nnd digging her fingers
into the man's face and kicking him.
This apparently enraged the man,
who pulled the girl toward him, picked
her up and half dragged her toward
the enr. His companion opened a deer,
and started the meter.
At thnt Instant the nurse, In uni
form, appeared around the corner. Beth
men paused nnd looked ns the nurse
hurried toward them.
A sharp command te release the girl
wns followed by a piercing screum for
help, and the telephone operator, who
had fainted, was dropped te the grass
border of the Parkway.
The nutomebllo leaped forward nnd
the nurse approached the operator. She
applied first-aid treatment, after which
she assisted her te the hospital, a short
distance awny. There, following n short
rest, the girl revived and was sent
home.

therity the President has te lower the

The tariff will probably be mere of
en issue than anything else. It Is
being hiinrnlv criticized in Republican
nnnra. nml thn word comes from Ohie
and Minnesota, nnd from some ether
places, that there la n considerable
reaction against the Ferdncy-McCura-ber
rates. But there never was n
revision of duties where results are
less clear te these who enncted it. or
the voters who will pass upon it, than
the present one.
A geed many Democrats are discon
tented ever the suppression of the
League of Nations Issue, which Gov Gov
ereor Cox recently tried te inject into
the campaign. But here ugain is no
real line of cleavage. If you want
this country te enter the League the
Democrats have the League policy In
cold storage. The Republicans have
Its equivalent, nn association of na
tions, in cold storage. Yeu may vote
against International experimentation
equally In cither party, for it is made
perfectly plain that neither one of them
has any enthusiasm for the policy it
has' in cold storage.
Strikes May Become Issue
In Industrial centers, where the la
bor vote Is large, the recent .strikes
will undoubtedly take the leading place
as nn issue. But the likelihood is that
the Republican candidates for Congress
will accommodate themselves te the
temncr of their' constituents. The Inck
of discipline shown when n Republican

Washington, Sept. 21. Fer a third
time the soldiers' bonus legislation has

The Senate late yesterday sustained
President Harding's veto of the Ferd-ney-McCumber

mnjerity necessary te hnve made it a
law without the Executive's signature.
Five hours befere the Senate acted.
the Heuse overrode the veto, 258 te 54.
The action of the Scnnte makes im
possible veterans' compensation legisla

Congress, which will begin early In De-
reiiieer. .Meantime, However. It Is the
purpose of some proponents te continue
the fight nnd the bonus may become an
issue In some of the congressional and
senatorial campaigns this fall.
The first bonus bills were introduced
in the Heuse and Senate enrly in the
special session of ftlie Slxty-sixth Con
gress, which began May 10. 1010. Se
many different proposals were offered In
the Heuse that all were referred te the
Ways and Means Committee, which
began hearings en September 20, 1010.
