HAVES’ RELEASE

New Brunswick People Have
Big Mass Meeting on Fact
That Youth is at Liberty
Again.
(By Associated Press.)
New Brunswick, N. J., Oct. 13. —
While state and county officials
sought anxiouldy today for some
thing tangible o n which to proceed in
the inquiry into the murder, o n Sep
tember 14 of the Rev. Edward Wheel
er Hall, rector of the Episcopal
church of St. John the Evangelist,
and the choir singer - , Mrs. Eleano 1 '
Reinhardt Mills, friends of Clifford
Hayes went ahead with preparations
for a mass meeting held tonight to
celebrate Hayes’ release yesterday.
The release and the collapse of the!
case of mistake n identity made -out
by authorities followed the admis- j
sion by Raymond Schneider that his j
accusation of Hayes wag false.
Schneider still was helij in the Som
erset county jail tonight, although
now new charges had been lodged
against him. He was locked up as
a material witness some days ago
after h e had made a statement charg
ing Hayes with killine- Mrs. Mills
and Dr - . Hall.
Authorities are admittedly up in
the air again. They turned anew to
day to clues pointing to the families
of the slain rector and Mrs. Mills,
and detectives wer e engaged i n run- ;
ning down numerous details discard
ed when officials accepted Schneider’s j
accusatiin as a solutio,, of the niys-!

;by Prosecutor Joseph Strieker of

i Detectives thrown off the trail
temporarily by Schneider’s false ac

He has confessed to hs friends that

This admission does net lead to
any hope that there will he a sev

There was considerable specula

Country Resident Seems to be
Improving Homes.
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 13.—Building ac
tivity is becoming almost as pro
nounced j n rural communities as in
the towns.
! * This announcement by building
’ construction men here shows that
| Southern rural communities are be
i coming imbued with the spurt of im

also a return to normal conditions in
the rural South and ho!d s promise
of anew era in Southern rural com
munity life.
On the fauns in Georgia and neigh
holing states, according to reports
•reived here in building circles, are
to be seen evidences of more mod
ern construction of dwellings, of
barns and other necessary outbuild
ings. Happy-go-lucky methods of
construction, it is shown, are out of
style. Better buddings are being
built everywhere in the rural dis
tricts.
There may b e more of this class
of construction going on in Georgia
than i n soin e other states, but the
move toward better farm buildings,
it i s declared here, is typical of what
is taking place in all parts of the
South.

The Tiger of France Refuses

What His Course in This

■ Paris, Oct. 13.—Former Premier

preparations for his second Amer

for his first trip more than fifty years

I he will talk in Boston, Chicago, Kan
sas City, New Orleans, Washington
and possibly Philadelphia. 1
“Tile Tiger” was in the bes t of

to talk in a joking way of the dif
ferent interpretations that have been
placed on his undertaking, but he
refused absolutely to be interviewed ]
as to what his course in America |
would be. He remarked, however,
with a twinkle in his eye that this
trip did not appear to please every
one “over here” but that it mattered
little, since what he had to say was

BRANTLEY COUNTY FAIR
TRIP ALSO PLANNED
Several Visitors Were Present
and a Number of Talks Were
Made—William Clark- Color
ed, Explains Coming of Distin
guished Party of Colored Ed
ucators of Tuskegee.
The meeting of the Young Men’s
Club yesterday proved to be one of
the most interesting that ha s been
held in several weeks. There were
mor e visitors, quite a wide range of
subjects were handled and in all ther e
was a vein of pleasure running
through the whole meeting.
Invitations cam e from th e St. Si
mon Island Board of Trade to attend
a big barbecue being arranged by
that splendid organization for Octo
ber 20. However that date conflicts
with “Brunswick Day,” the Brant
ley county fair and as the club is an
xious to make both trips a special
committee was named to try and
harmonize the situation by asking the
St. Simon people to postpone their
barbecue to a later date and come
over and join the club on its pilgrim
age to Hoboken. It is believed that
some amicable arrangement can be
made whereby the visit to St. Simon
and Hoboken will both be made.
Among the visitors were Edwin D.
Lamright, former Brunswickian, now
postmaster at Tampa, who made a
very eloquent talk and which was
enjoyed by the members. He told
what real good things had come to
his/adopted home—Tampa, by reason
of (th e good work of the civic and
commercial organizations and paid
a neat compliment to the activity of
the club.
Other talk s were made by W. S.
Gibson of the teaching staff of the
Glynn High school, who is also coach
for the football team of the school.
Mr. Gibson s ay s he is going to give
Brunswick a winning team. Carey
Robinson, also a football artist and
now located in the city made a short
talk on the same line, a s did M. L.
McKinnon who was the guest of the
club.
William Clark, well known colored
citizen, asked for permission to place
before the club, the purpose of the
coming of the Moton party to
Brunswick at an early date. The re
quest was granted and Clark, who is
himself a graduate of Tuskeegee,
made a really splendid talk. He ex
plained the coming of the party,
stressed the splendid spirit of mutual
understanding now, existing between
the two races in Brunswick and urged
tlie organization to give the Visit of
the Moton party its moral support.
Clark was given the closest attention
of those present and at the conclu
sion of his talk he wa s given very
enthusiastic applause.
A jazz band was on hand and
added to the pleasure of the meeting
which -on - the whole proved to be, a
most interesting, one. .
Hon. F. E. Twitty at the invitation
of Chairma n Scarlett told of the visit
recently made to Jacksonville to look
into the collection of the balance due
by that city on the Darien bridge.
Mr. Twitty js of the opinion that both
the sum due by Savannah and the
one by Jacksonville will be paid in
time.
