Disease That Caused
Senater Vete's Death
The official cauie of Senater
Vara'" death Is given as "strepto
coccus toxemia, with cardiac failure
and pulmonary edema."
In non-Bcientifle language "strep
tococcus toxemia" is a form of
bleed-poisoning. The "streptococ
cus" is a germ which causes most
common colds. A deep-seated and
general infection produces a general
poisoning of the system.
This in turn sets up the. "car
diac failure," which is simply heart
weakness, and "pulmonary edema,"
which la the filling of the lungs with
water.

of the Senater, his family and his

State Senater Edwin H. Vare,
most potent of Philadelphia's po
litical leaders, died at 7:20 o'clock
today in his home at Ambler. He
,was" sixty years old.,
.The Senater had been ill for two
'months; critically ill for two weeks.
'; Death was caused by the collapse of
' his heart and lungs due te the
absorption of poison from a long
standing threat infection.
Death came nt a moment when the
( Senater's family and friends had hoped
he was through the worst of liis Illness.

Leen Clnpoel and J. Lawrence Riley,
railroad detectives, and of Mrs. Martha
Giberson, mother of tlie dead man.
Glbersen's mother, en the witness
stand last week, said her daughter-in-law

a crime in Toms River and get away
with it." ,
Giberson wns found with a bullet In
his head August 14 at his Lakehurst,
N. J., home. Lakehurst is in Ocean
County and Toms River ls the county,
scat.
Justice Knlisch reserved decision en
the defense lawyer's motion.

Mr. Davis gave the jury n general
summary of the defense nnd said Mrs.
Giberson will be called te the stand
tomorrow. He said witnesses will tell
of the friendly relations between Mrs.
Giberson and her husbnnd and also
would show that a man called at the
Giberson home shortly before the mur
der te borrow a small sum of money.
It also will be shown, Mr. Davis
said, that a man was seen te leave a
train shortly before the time Mrs. Gib
erson said she was bound nnd gagged
by robbers.
Confident of Acquittal
Mrs. Giberson expressed confidence
that she would be able te prove her
innocence when she tnkes the stand in

had been accorded the liberty of the
woman's hall. After offering chairs te
former Judge William Hj. Jeffrey, her
lawyer, and the reporter, she scnted
herself en the edge of her cot and talked
of thn case.
Mrs. Giberson had en a brown nnd
white bungalow npren, nnd n black
summer-weight sweater coat. She
seemed te have profited by the rest ac
corded her during the last two days.
Her air of calm confidence hns never

After striking two automobiles, and
leading ""the police en two different
chases of several miles, Samuel W. C.
Trexler, Jr., eighteen years old, son of
a Philadelphia broker, whose family ls
prominent in Main Line social circles,
was arrested early today, charged with
driving an automobile while intoxicated.
He was held in $500 bail for court.
Trexler kept the police en the jump
for several hours before midnight and
mere than a score of patrolmen scoured
the countryside before he was finally
captured.
Police Cliarge Speeding
Trexler, who, the police say, has been
a source of anneynncc for several weeks
en account of his mnnin for speed,
started In action whertiy after 7 o'clock
est night when, It Is asserted, he drove
along Lancaster pike te Ardmore nt a

Harding True te Tradition
in Lauding G.O.P. Congress
t,!Regular'Thing for a President te De Like
Bored Guest Thanking Hostess After
Attending Dinner Party
By CLINTON W. GILBERT
Btn Corrwwendent EvrnlnK Pnblle Tdger
CoBUrteht. XOlt, tl rublle Ltdetr Cemvanu
Washington, Oct. 30. After a din-
ner party, when taking your leave, you
tell your hostess what a delightful eve
ning you have hnd, even though you
have been bored stiff from the moment
you entered her house. In somewhat
the snme way a President every two
years writes a letter for publication
telling hew thoroughly Congress, if it
ls his own party, deserves te be re
elected. All Presidents de it. It is one of
the traditions. If you did net thank
your hostess you would seem rather a
churl. Se the President, if he did net
say nice things nbeut Congress, would
be deemed a political curmudgeon.
His letter may net, and probably
docs net, make a vote for his party.
But his falling te write such a letter
as President Hnrding just has te Rep
resentative Mendell would be seized
upon by the opposition as nn Indica
tion that he disapproved his party as
sociates. Cannet Take Stump
There is a nice etiquette nbeut these
letters. The President must net err
en the Bide of partisanship. He must
net enter into the campuign personally
and appeal en the stump or elsewhere
for the election of n Congress of his,
party. He must net mnke the thing
personal as a President did in 1018.
He must net, say, "I want a Con
gress of my own party elected." If he
must net blew het, he must also net
blew cold. He is ns rigidly restricted
ns a man saying geed-by te his hes
tess. His letter must be a proper let
ter. And Mr. Harding's is Just Buch a
letter. Te use his own favorite word,
it is n "becoming letter."
Much is made in the opposition
press ever the fact that the sentiments
expressed In the letter te Mr. Mendell
were net the President's real sentiments
when he had Congress en his bands.
Hut the fact is that the troubles Mr.
Herding hnd with Congress were only
the troubles every President has with
the legislative body.
Mr. Wilsen hud en Mb hands Demo
crats who voted for the McLemore res
olution nnd hid party leaders who op
posed conscription, just as Mr. Hnrding
lias his bonus advocates. If Mr. Hard
ing lias his Berahs, La Toilettes, his
l-'erdncys nnd McCumbers en the bonus,
Mr. Wilsen had his needs, Vnrdainane,
Bill Stones, Champ Clarks nnd his
Kitchins.
Petty Irritations Disappear
As Mr. Harding surveys the record
of the Inst two years the petty irrita
tions of the session disappear. TIip
substantial achievements alone remain,
the passage of a tariff bill with provi previ
sions for the adjustment of such rates
as in practice proves te be necessary,
the ending of the excess profits tnx, the
reduction in expenditures. As n prac
tical mnn, he is aware that Congress
did all that might be expected of it,
when one considers hew pnrty nutlierity
ls weakened by blocs nnd by the activi
ties of the irregulars who refuse te bow
te pnrty discipline.
His interest in the campaign is net
that he expects the election of n Re
publican Congress te give him a thor
oughly workable organisatien out of
which will inevitably come the ship

It'j n Staff Correspondent
New Brunswick, N. .1., Oct. 10.
Themas F. McCrnn, Attorney General
of New Jersey, will be designated to te
day by Justice Parker, of the Stntc Su
preme Court, te take charge of the
Investigation of the baffling murder of
the Rev. IMwnrd Wheeler Hnll and
Mrs. Klenner Reinhnrdt Mills.
Mr. McCran was summoned te Jua
tlce Parker's home at MnrrNtnwn yes
terday, and spent most of the day there
iu conference. Information as te what
took place nt the meeting wns refused.
It became known today that A. M.
Beekmnn. prosecutor of Somerset
County, and Jeseph K. Strieker, pros
ecutor of Middlesex County, had cnlled
Friday en Judge Peter F. Daly, of the
County Court of Quarter Sessions, nnd
had asked him te tnku c-hnrge of the
case. It was when, he begged te b
excuscd because of prc-s of court busi
ness that the prosecutors sought Justlc
Parker.
May Designate a Deputy
Mr. McCran, under the law, can
elect te take chnrge of the case him
self, or place it in the hands of an
outside attorney whom he will designate
ns a Special Deputy Attorney General.
Though the celebrity of the case may
lead the Attorney General te take charge
in person, this would be unusual. The
rumor persists that he will designate
Prosecutor Wolverton, of Camden,
reputed te be the ablest of all the Xew
Jersey County Prosecutors, and tfa
most successful in murder investiga
tions, te take charge of the case in his
name.
The announcement of Mr. McCran'a
appointment is expected today. In ad
vance of the formal order frtuii Justice
Parker, Mr. McCran has refused te
discuss the case.
Has Power te Call Kills ParUer
He did Fay, however, in reply te
questions that it would be entirely
within his jiewers te call in Ellin
Parker, the noted murder' expert of
Burlington County, nnd put him In
nctive chnrge of the investigation. H
would net indicate, however, whether
lie would order Parker te Iny nsida
ether duties nnd aid in the solution of
the mystery which hns aroused Middle
sex and Somerset Counties and inter
ested the entire country.
Parker hns a record almost 100 per
cent successful in solving murders. The
majority of his cases hive led the
suspects he picked out te the gallows or
the electric chair.
Insist Upen Jealousy Motive
County officials keep insisting that
jealousy was the only possible motive
for the murder. They hnve repeatedly
pointed out that Mrs. Hnll hnd cause
te be jealous of her husband, that the
scattering of the love letters between
the bodies looked as if somebody had
desired proof of the relations between
the rector and Mrs. Mats, and that the
mutilation of Mrs. Mills body by cut
ting her threat nnd the way both bodies
were laid out side by slde proved that
the murder was a crlme of revenge.
New they nre hinting that the letter
written by Timethy N. Pfeiffer, coun
sel for the rector's wife, te Governer
F.dwnrda was a move te forestall fur
ther investigation involving Mrs. HalL
Rumors of wire tapping nre bussing
around the town today. Miss Sajjle
Peters, companion of Mrs. Hnll, con
firmed a rumor that their wires naa
been tapped.
"I am sure nf it," eald Mies Peter.
"I don't knew who is doing it, bn
there is no doubt that it Is bejug done."
Other Wires Being Tapped
The prosecutor's office also hinted
that wire tappers had been at work
overhearing the detectives' conversa
tions. A third "vvire tnpplnr tip"
came from Ralph V. M. Gersllne. a
member of the vestry of Mr. ITall'a
church. He said ha suspected that some
one had cut into his wires, tee.
