Libel Suit Up en 18th
Tfie whole atmosphere smacked of an
old-Aime antl-Vnre gathering, nnd there
weM some bold enough te wonder If it
nil I ind anything te de with the fact
that the libel suit of Councilman Hall
ngafinst the Mayer is set for trial en
the 13th.
It appeared te some of the politicians
thnt It was net n fur cry te attribute
te t iese onpesed te "Bill" Verc's lead
ership n desire te smooth out the tllffl
niltles between the Mayer and the j
v umii'-iiimiu. rii'iiuii.v u uuui iiruiiuw
en the same side of the fence, se far as
thenVare influence is concerned.
Altneng these assembled in the
Mnybr's office there wcre even much
niertl or less particularly mere jocu
lar) 'suggestions that Councilman Hall
be font for. However, Mr. Hnll is do de
terijnincd te push the suit through un
lcs, It wns pertinently added, the
Mn'ver makes "many amends."
Mr. Hnll, it was authoritatively
ftnted, is net interested In winning the
$!O,(K)0 dnmnges asked for, but Is con
cerned only about his personal honor.
It wns observed that the suit Is set for
(he 1.3th and that thirteen Is a lucky
number with the Mayer. He was nomi
nated by a majority of 131.1.
Pome of the mere prncticnl poli
ticians, when they henrd the gossip
about the libel suit, declared thnt the
bitterness of Mr. Hall toward the
Mayer was tee great for any effort nt
out-of-court conciliation te be effective.
However, the talk raged en.
When Billy Campbell emerged from
the Mayer's office he was asked what
sort of politics had been discussed.
Camrlell Is Evasive
"Oh," replied the nerthenst lender,
"no politics nt nil j as n matter of fnet,
I enme te see the Mayer about getting
u new switchboard in my office."
Mr. Campbell conceded with a smile
that he was just as keenly interested
In political connections as in telephone
lumiriiiuns,
What de yen think of the situa
tion I Mr. Cnmbpell wns asked.
"I'm out of touch,' wns the replv
of the lender, who has a special facility
for keeping in touch.
"What de you think of Bill Vnre
as n leader?" was another question.
"I did net knew that he aspired te
leadership," countered the Register.
Persistent reports in political circles
ere te the effect that Congressman Ran
sley. Varc leader of the Third Ward,
and Senater Hnlus, of the Fourth Ward
have been Influential in preventing the
success of Councilman Hall's moves te
bring about harmenv In Seuth Philadel
phia between the Trainer brothers and
Congressman Vare.
Rnnsley and Snlus are both leader
in Hall's ceuneilmanlc district, as also
Is Harry J. Trainer. It is snld Con
gressman Rnnsley and Senater Snlus
fear thht If the Trnlners get started
their lendeisfilp in the Second and
Fourth Wards, respectively, will be so se so
rleusly challenged nnd thnt they might
have a fight en tjiclr hands when they
sought ro-elcctlon two years hence. Fer
example, Harry J. Trainer, It wns ex
plained, might want te succeed Senater
Snlus nt HnrriNburg, just as his brother
wants te succces Congressman Vare at
Washington.

Sirs. Frances Stevens Hall, widow of
the murdered Kplscepnl rector, found
slnln, with n choir singer, has agreed te

from newspaper Interviewers.
The agreement wns made as the In

Edward Wheeler Hall and Mrs. Eleaner
R. Mills approached Its seventh week,
and Stntc and county officials expressed
confidence in an eye-witness statement
Implicating a man and n woman.
In certnln quarters $30 is considered
a fair price for en Interview from per
sons who knew or clnim te knew some
thing about the Hall-Mills mtirder. Te
take n picture a pnotegropner is ex
pected these days te pay $."0.
It is already an old story that Char

proceeds of that sale.

view tliis afternoon.
She will consent te be Interviewed,
but she must have the most extraordi
nary protection against being misquoted,
nnd tills must be paid for by tlie news
papers, net by the woman herself. This
