New Brunswick, N. J., Dec. 4.— Hall-Mills murder case has gone in- to the dusty pigeon-hole of crime’s unsolved mysteries. The Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall and his choir singer, Mrs. Eleanor Mills, murdered here nearly three months ago, have joined the hall of fame along with such famous figures. as Dorothy Arnold, Joseph Elwell and William Desmond Taylor. Failure of the grand jury to indict | anybody in the double murder, su, | gests to criminologists the question: |Is the Hell-Mills case permanently | pigeon-holed?. Famous Crimes Pigeonholed “As “Unsolved”; * \ PRINCIPALS IN FAMOUS. UN. SOLVED MYSTERIES. LEFT, THE REV. EDWARD WHEELER HALL (ABOVE) AND JOSEPH ELWELL; RIGHT, DOROTHY ARNOLD. Two other famous; cases remain unsolved mysterics— ; Dorothy Arnold disappeared Dec. 12, 1910, She was never seen again after coming out of a Fifth Avenue book store in New York that day. -Secret search went on until Jan. 25, 1911, when the case was reported to the police. Since then a fortune has been spent running down thou- sands of clues and it is still unknown whether she was murdered, kidnaped or committed suicide. For two and a half years every effort has failed to solve the mystery of the murder of Joseph Bowne El- well, bridge whist expert and turf- man. ry Elwell was found in his New York apartment ih the early morning of June 11, 1920, dying of a bullet wound in the forchead.’ The suicide theory was discarded but his as- sassin has never been founds Most recent of other famous un- solved mysteries, prior to the killing of the Rev. Hall and Mrs. Mills Mast Sept. 14, was the murder of William Desmond Taflor, motion picture di- rector, in, his Los Angeles home Feb. 2 of this year. | Editor, | Bismarck Tribune, | Bismarck, N. D. Dear Sir: I noticed an editorial article. in your paper of recent date headed “What of the Future,” in which you seem considerably exercised over what ‘you: term “state socialism” or “state capitalism”.

American people will positively refuse to dis- card ‘our_ present state af civiliza. tion. When you can show the people of North Daketa some constructive, and progressive plan to take the place of all those things they have been clamoring-for the past fifteen years I beleive they will readily come to your way of thinking but so long’ as you only. offer to destroy what has ‘been put under way I think you will get a scanty following.

With cun- ning and} reckless: disregard. for the truth they attack those who oppose their invasion as oppressors of the downtrodden and draw upon a maudlin sentimentslity to lend plaus- ibility to their preachings. Yet from across the Atlantic alco as come the voice of tribute to the spirit created under the Americsi system, for jg,was the initiative and| courage of Sldiers trained to a and think for themselves that drove back the.best ‘trained soldiers in Europe in Whom these qualities had been undermined by paternalistic gov- ernments.

We are/ asked in somewhat threatening tones if we would return to the old day: in North Dakota. For one to indict the whole activities of a common- wealth in any period is an insolent assumption; to say that during the Yast six years North Dakota has taken one step forward to severai backward ~ts logical. We confess We'd like to forget much that: has transpired within the last six years. We'd like to put back in the hands of the people of the state most of the $986,000 already levied to pay interést on bonds in carrying out a program of doubtful value, We'd like to forget the fiasco in the Home Builders association, the’ losses in other industries. We'd like to. wipe out the hatred engendered between classes falsely created, We'd like to wipe“out some of the bureaucratic government created in North Dakota where more power has been placed in the hands of a few office-hotders than in any other commonwealth in the nation. And we condemn the con- tinuation of the system under of- ficials other than those who created Fit because we see the danger of co: promise with principle, the dangei that approval for expediency’s sake of. such a program may lead into olner false paths. Those who prate of the benefits. of the manufacture of flour by the state of North Dakota} the state’s adven- ture into other fields of business. ought to know that the founder of their false doctrine calmly stated i that through imposition and accept- ance of the state capitalism he hoped to prevail upon the farmers of North Dakota to accept all the tenents of sociaffsm. They know, or ought’ to} know, that Walter Thomas Mills, who was accorded almost abject tribute for a time, advocated and saw taken a step toward the fulfillment of his belief that the state should take over all the land and make all the farmers tenants, through a shifting of the burden ‘of taxation to the land. It twas erced, incompetence, anda loose moral attitude toward obligations to the state, if not downright graft, hat wrecked the first ventures here into state capitalism. The weakness- es“which have countless. times made public- enterprises fail were the causes of the failure in North Da- kota, and will be the cause of fail- ure in the future.

So great is the contrast, in manner, between the prayer and the barcarglle, that the record’ further interesting ait that it really’demands two vocal styles. It takes a Galli-Curci to exhibit both in their perfection, If it is possible to put the sense of memory into music, Mischa-Elman does it‘on his latest record, “Fond Rvcollec- tions.” It is first in slow, short phrases, like wondering questions and_ half- breathless answers, as of a mind com- muning with itself. It is a charming composition, Viennese in style, set for the violin with the orchestra, without embellishment of any kind, +e # Mischa Elman has a little pocket iolin, probably one of the smallest viol-instruments in existence. The largest, most likely, is the double- bass in the collection of Carl Fischer, exhibited recently in New York: It is eleven fect, seven inches long, the strings are nearly as thick as cigars, and’ the bridge is a foot high. ee * The warmth and color of the Riviera have beep incorpdfated in “Serenade” of which Gigli makes a recent record. Goéd King Wenceslaus’ storied snow diifts melt before the warm tones of this fragrant melody, from under the. Mediterranean sug. Gigli sings it to small orchestra,~a violin, a flute, a ‘cello, mandolins and guitars. This kind of record combines the very es- sence of poetry, romance and history. ‘Another record that gives gracious Support to Shelley's promise of Spring .is a new duet by Mme.

In December the .Great White Way Or- chestra makes its tow with the Victor, first with “Lovely Luccrue,;’ a lovely waltz, as fresh and outstanding as a mountain meadow. There are bits of yodelling by human voice and by saxo- phone. On the reverse of this record Paul Whiteman and His Orchestra have skilfully blended some melodies of a seemingly Hungarian or Polish gypsy origin, with Oriental touches, American dance rhythm in mn Love,” an exceedingly beautiful record. On a record) of its own again the Great White Way Orchestra is heard, first in “/’U-Be In My Dixie Home Agcin Tomorrow,” jolly in tune, with interesting modulations, and some extra work for the piano. On the other side “You Gave Me Your Heart” has a habanero rhythm, something like a fast’ tango, Neither of these records has anything freakish and they are played with a fine sense of dancers’ needs. The Whitemans make another fine record in due keeping with their own exacting standards, These are regular fox trots, one a medley, scored with saxophone harmonies, trumpet effects, and string melodies, handled with that definite and peculiarly’ “Whiteman” method. “Blowing Bubbles All Day Long” and “Just As Long As You Wave Me” are essentially Whiteman. For general versatility we com- mend the Whitemans to your atten- tion. Half-a-dozen of its members can play fifty-odd instruments be- tween them. And more than that, they know where to use them, wtih iargely ex ine the sickly colorful effects of the scorings o} Whiteman records, ' eet Two fox trots on a record by the Benson Orchestra of Chicago are of the straight-out variety, neither too fast for “tangle-foot,” nor yet too slow. “Toot Toot Tootsie” rags and varies its own chief melody. “Do I?” has full har- monies with interesting wood wind melodies, a cornet tremolo like Blue- beard grinding his teeth, and some clean, sharp, nickle-plated work by a piano.
