Powell died at his home jus^ beyond the southern limits of the city, this morning at 3 o'clock, lie had been ill for something like two months with Bright's disease. Up to a very short time ago he appeared tc be in robust health, and few of his friends knew of the serious nature of his illness until a short time preceding his death. Mr. Powell was the son of the late J. M. Powell and Medora Powell. He would have been 48 years of age on October, 17 this year. He was born and died in the same room. Mr. Powell is survived by his wife. who, before her marriage 20 years ago, was Miss Sallie Ray, and the following children: Mis* Medora I'owell, William Powell, Allen Ray Powell and Roy Thomson Powell. He ia also survived by one brother, Mr. James Powell, and two sisters, Mrs. Henry of Asheville and Mrs. Belle C tip of Union.

Mr. Powell was possessed of a warm ? heart and had a kind word to speak for everybody. He numbered his friends by the hundreds. For many years he was employed by the UniofP' Grocery company here, and upon the disbanding of that company, was giv- < en a position with the Union-Buffalo i mills store here. This position he held up to the day of his last illness J and death. He was a volunteer in tne Spanish-American war, going out with i the Johnson Rifles," and serving to the elose of that war, and receiving an honorable discharge. Many hearts are saddened by the death of this kind friend and neigh Dor, and deep sympathy is felt for the bereaved family. Coming Monday Night to High School Auditorium TUe noted Welch tenor, Samue} y Lewis, who Is to appear here on the : evening of October 9th at the Union high school with the Lewis Concert 1 company in the first concert of the local lyceum series, is a distinguished 1 uenor of very pronounced attainment. When Charles Edward Clark, noted ' Chicago baritone, heard Mr. Lewis sing sometime ago, he commented: 1 "There is nothing better in this coun- ' try." Mr. Lewis is the possessor of a wonderful tenor voice and the adjec.tive "wonderful" is exactly the word which best defines his voice and mus- ' ical ability. It is one of those re*r.arkable lyric tenors. It is appealing, sympathetic, rich, full and clear.

J., Oct. 4.?A mystery car with three occupahtstwo men and a woman?was added today to the conflicting maze of clues among which Middlesex and Somerset county authorities are groping in their efforts to apprehend the slayers of the Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall and his choir leader, Mrs. Eleanor Bernhardt Mills. A. E. So per, retired business man of Highland Park, came forward with the story of this car. Nearly three weeks ago, on the night of the mur ders, Soper told the authorities, ne passed a sedan in Derussy's lane close to the spot where the bodies were found. " He turned his searchlight''on the car, he said, and observed that it contained two men and a woman. Although he failed to recognize any of the trio, he said, he observed that the woman wore a light coat. Mrs. Hall is known to have worn a polo coat of light gray on that night, when, according to her story, she left her home after midnight to seek her missing husband in his study at the Church of St. John the Evangelist. Mrs. Hall has told the investigators oiiw was accompanied oy ner brother, "Willie" Stevens, an eccentric New Brunswick character Witnesses why saw her reenter her home say she returned alone. The Halls own a sedun car, which the minister left in the garage when he went to what proved his death tryst* Three mors bits of evidence supporting the theory that the minister and Mrs. Mills were on the. point tf eloping to the Orient when they wercj slain also came to light today. One was a letter believed to have been written by Mrs. Mills only a fe?v hours before she diet her death. Authorities withheld the contents of this letter, which, it was admitted, was found in the dead clergyman's pocket. It was learned, however, that it contained the expression, "Oh, for the time when I can do your mending." It is by this that the authorities llx the time when it was written. They have learned, it was disclosed, that the day before the double a Laying the minister, Mrs. Hall and Mrs.' Mills end Mrs. Minnie Clark had been on * Incident* of the trip was that the mtnIster tote hie trousers climbing a barbed wire fence and had Mrs. Hall mend them with a needle and thread she happened to have along. Another evidence of the supposed elopement plan was contained in a letver irum n. Kj. mnma, a Hindu oculist of Miami, Fla. Hinhia wrote that Mrs. Mills had sent him a letter propounding these three questions: "Will the minister get a divorce?" "Will he go to a foreign country?" "If he gives up the other woman and goes to the Orient, shall I go with himT" He said that he had answered he could give her advice which would "do pood" if she would buy his book on Bstrology, but that he had heard no further from her. The third indication of an elopement plan was conveyed to the authorities in a leport of the remark a woman member of the church was said to have made at Mr. Hall's funeral. ' "Well, they are talking the minister Dut of the church," she was reported to have said, the funeral services were concluded. "They didn't get off to Japan after all."

Lewi3, ? president of the United Mine Work- i ers, announced. The old schedule of * demands never was presented to the ^ operators because the producers' asso- t ciations in the old central competitive t field, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and west- t ern Pennsylvania, refused to meet the % union before the miners' strike began f April 1, last. Day laborers' wages in s bituminous mines is $7.50 and this s Das been the scale since the summer e of 1920. . The policy committee's meeting fol- j lowed the final session of a joint con- e fercnoe of operators* and mlneis c meeting here since Monday to take g preliminary steps toward wage nego- p tiations next January. The joint conference, representing B all important union bituminous coal g producing districts in the nation, g agreed late today upon a method >f ^ selecting delegates to a conference to meet in Chicago November 14, to formulate a method of procedure to be ^ followed the bituminous coal Industry in negotiating a wage scale agree- a ment to become effective April 1,192:). ^ The setting up of this committee was provided under the terms of the ? Cleveland agreement and leaders of * both sides declared it to be a highly important accomplishment.

The representation on the commit- . tee selected today consists of two op- 1 era tors and two miners from each of 15 mine union districts throughout . the country. The president of each 1 miners' union district will be dne ofj^ the miners' committee and the other:1 an appointee of his. I 8 Operators in outlying districts will r be privileged to send delegates to the * Chicago conference if they so desire, * it was announced. In the event of 8 any such outlying district representation by the operators the miners in such districts will also be given the I right of representation.

Oct., 4 (By the Associated Press).?Evidences of dis- j content with the present national ad- s ministration, are "Widespread," it was t declared here tonight by James M Cox, defeated two years ago for th? a presidency on the Democratic ticket. 2 He spoke at a rally of Democrats. I In the coming congressional and v senatorial compaign, he asserted, "the v administration by the sheer force of r events is placed on the defensive at e the very outset." Voters, he said, should consider the question whether 3 the legislative enactments "and ad- t ministrative policies of the present c regime can be regarded as the essen- n tials of a square deal to their com- g posite interests." ' o Elihu Root's appearance before 6 New York Republicans was branded hv Mr. Co* "as surest nroof of u 1 ?rave situation in so far as it in- n /olves the administration." 5 "One is neither personal nor uncomplimentary in making the obser- ii /ation that many clients who go to s Vir. Root are in a pretty tight hole," n the former presidential candidate 1 continued. "His services have been c enlisted by the Old Guard within his c >nrty upon many occasions when emergency was at hand." a Mr. Root's recent speech in the s *Jew York state convention was dis- t< cussed at length by Mr. Cox. He taid the Republican speaker "in- ti roked his every power of philosophy p ind sophistry to make the best of a n veak cause." h Lining up the things, which he said tj ire in the public mind, 'namely, the 3 leating of Newberry, the granting of 8 >il concessions to the oil group of n he present administration without c egard to values involved, the scan- s lals of the department of justice, the 81 pineless attitude towards the prob- 4 ems of capital and labor, interna- 0 ional policies which are ridiculed in c; ivevy chancellory in the world, the ]j lassage of a tariff law in behalf of gj :ertain privileged intevests, whose p Mlfiahneaa ai^d avariciousness have \ amert tnem 10 me very uraiis ?i^ lis (Root's) speech," lie continued, 'over five columns are given to state f ssues, almost one column to the c imiable qualities of the president and a ;he rest to the only phases of the f iresent situation that it is safe to t liscuss even with a Republican au- r lience." ^ ' " q Important Meeting at t First Baptist Church e c The members of the executive coin- * mittee of the Union County Baptir.t association, the Baptist pastors of the [ :ounty, and all of those who will serve as four minute speakers are urged to rome to a rally meeting to be held at the First Baptist church, tomorrow, Friday, evening at 7:30.

Letter to Public The time is drawing near when, by the provision of the law, Union school district will elect three school trustees to take the places of those whose terms will soon expire. These throe gentlemen have rendered capable and patriotic service to their community, but, I am informed that two of them are not standing for reelection. That being the case, now is the time to place two good women on the board of trustees. The business man is necessary to keep the business end of school management going but he has neither time nor inclination to get intimate with the daily problems of the teacn. er and the pupil. Two women of teaching experience could visit the schools and thus render valuable service as members of the school board. From every standpoint, I believe that two women and three men would make a better balanced working body lor the government of our schools. Witnout having consulted them, I take the ' liberty of suggesting two ladies of our town, who have had a wide and successful teaching experience, and who are in every way well fitted to perform the duties of school trustees. The ladies to whom I refer are Miss Eunice Thomson, for a number of years one of our best and most popular teachers, and Mrs. P. D. Barron, who has made her home in Union for some years, after having taught successfully in both North and South Carolina. Citisen. Mr. and If da. R.

E. F. Grable, international presi ?nt, opposed the proposal, declaring le suit should proceed and a settlelent be reached without the matter >ming before the convention. A res ution offered by friends of Mr. arker, however, was carried, and a 'quest sent to the circuit court that le hearing, set for tomorrow, be pu; /er. Mr. Barker denied reports today itat he would seek re-election as inrnational president. Nothing further was heard about le convention hall of the reported lovement by William Z.
