CABINET APPEALS TO ITALIANS
CITY BUDGET $38,625,000
HIGHER THAN IN 1922; ONLY
$6,000,000 OF IT MANDATORY
Mayor Hylan, in Denying Increase for 1923, Ig
nores $20,625,000 More to Be Realized From
. Higher Real Estate Valuation and $18,000,000
Savings on City's Debt Not Deducted in Draw
ing Up Budget.
Despite Mayor Hylan s assertions that the 1923 budget represents
no substantial increase of expenditures other than the 6,000,000 in
crease for the Board of Education caused by mandatory legislation,
there is an actual increase, apart from that item, of about $32,625,000
On the face of things this huge increase is not apparent. But
unless figures are false and in this case there is no evidence they arc
this increase is a grim reality.
In tho first placo the tentative W23f
assessment on real and personal prop
erty will bo $750,000,000 moro than
'that for this year.
If, at Comptroller Craig forecasts,
tho tax rato of 2.75 will be the sa no
in 1923 as this year, this will yield
hext yea- $20,625,000 more in new
taxes than the city received In 1922.
Second, there Is tho benefit of a
fund of about $18,000,000 denoting
tho dlfforenco between what tho city
needed this year and what it will
need next year In tho discharge of Its
debt scrvlco In payment of Interest
w.nd amortization of city debt. Tills
year tho debt servlco was J104.40G,
178. Next year It will bo SS6.435.G41.
The $20,625,000 of now taxes
and the $18,000,000 saving in debt
service total $38,625,000. Althouoh
these are approximate figures
they are presumably close to the
fact.
Deducting tho ?r,000,000 mandatory
Board of Education Increaso this
leaves 32,025,000.
If thero was no increase of ex
pense In maintaining the govern
ment of the city the budget
should show a decrease about
. equal to this figure. But it is the
highest budget that the cfty has
ever known, and the entire

WOMAN'S LETTERS

FOR SLAIN RECTOR
Gossip Had Coupled the
Dead Woman With Mis

ABSOLVED BY BISHOP.
Local Officials Declare Case
Murder and Suicide, Prob
ably While Insane.
IIAVrtE, Mont., Oct 2S. Tho Itov
Leonard Jacob Chrlstlcr, rector of St
Mark's Church of the Incarnation
hero and widely known as the "Bishop
of All Outdoors," and Mrs. Mar
guerite Carlcton, wife of a former
Montana District "Judge, who were
killed yesterday lh' tho clergyman's
home, within a fow feet of the room
where they Just had left Mrs. Chrls
tlcr, wore tho victims of temporary
Insanity on tho part of Mrs. Carleton,
In tho opinion of local officials.
Tho tragic death was a dramatic
ending to a dramatic life. Jealousy
admittedly was tho cause, and the
authorities to-day said there were no
"loose ends" to be cleared up. Among
a bunch of torn papers found In tho
room of Mrs. Carlcton wero letters
and telegrams which had'ueen torn
and parts of them burned. They are
said by Chief of Police Moran to In
dicate that Mrs. Carleton entertained
a wild infatuation for the minister she
murdered.
In this very connection charges
wero preferred somo tlmo ago that
tho relations between tho couple were
Improper, but an Investigation set on
foot by Bishop Fabcr proved, to tho
satisfaction of tho Bishop at least,
that the allegations of Improper con
duct were unfounded. Nevertheless,
the stories have been persistent that
the study of St. Mark's Church has
been a trystlng place for tho pair, and
that Mrs. Carleton. who was sepa
rated from, her husband. Judge Frank
Carleton, frequently had been seen
going to tho church when the minister
was In his study.
So suro are tho officials that the
deaths represent a murder and suicide
that Coroner Holland nnd tho Sheriff's
offlco last night announced that no
Inquest would bo held, unless relatives
of th dead man and woman Insisted.
The theory of the omcers received
confirmation from Dr. D. S. Muckcn
zie, who was called by Mrs. Chrlstlor
Immediately after tho shooting. Dr.
Mackenzie said that when ho arrived
at tho Chrlstler homo the pistol with
which the two had been shot still
was grasped In Mrs. Carleton's hand
with her finger on the trigger.
Tho clergyman's funeral will be
held this afternoon with services ut
St. Mark's Church of tho Incarna
tion, which was built during tho min
istry of Hcv. Mr. Chrlstler.
Bishop Faber, head of tho Montana
diocese will preach tho sermon. Uusl

for an hour out of respect to the late
rector.

Tho Facta Ministry, despite its
resignation, Is acting with energy to

tlmo, have not been the scene of any
disturbances of moment.
The Cabinet decided first to Issuo
a proclamation declaring n state of

GLASGOW, Oct. 28 (Associated

George, addressing this afternoon an
audience of 6,000 people, who received
him enthusiastically, declared In re
ferring to the breaking up of the

"Tho world Is In such trouble, It Is
In such a condition, that you cannot

declared. .
Mr. Lloyd Georgo Bald the Conser

vitality and go. To use a golfing
phrase, as ho put It, they said ho
(Lloyd Georgo) was very good with
the niblick, excellent for getting the
ball out of tho rough, but that on the
green ho wns too energetic, nnd they
wanted somebody with a feebler

"Well," ho continued, "It is not for

But are wo really out of tho rough?
Go to tho Glasgow shipyards for the
answer. Examine tho numbers of un

Referring to tho labor manifesto,
Mr. Lloyd George continued:
"It Is a manifesto Issued to a peo

NEW BRUNSWICK, N,' J., Oct. 28. Special Deputy Attorney General
Wilbur A, Mott is not affected by tho aspersions which arc being directed
from all sides on the credibility of Mrs Jane Gibson, the widow hog ralsor
of Hamilton Jtond and declared eyewitness of the murders of. tho Rev.
Edward Wheeler Hall nnd Mrs. Eleanor nelnhardt Mills, whoso bodies
were found beside a roadway on tho Phillips farm Just six weeks ago to-day.
Mr. Mott did not coma to New Brunswick to-day. He sent his special

Two boys arc dead to-day, and live
women Injured as a result of auto

Brooklyn.
One boy was Chatlcs Michaels, of
No. 182 Columbus Avenue, whose
skull was fractured as tho result of
having been struck by un automo
bile at Columbus Avenue, near 68th
Street, driven by Miss Marian Myors,
No. 12C1 Madison Avenue. Tho boy
was rushed to Roosevelt Hospital,
where ho died, and tho young woman
was arrested by Policeman Patrick
Michaels and later was rolcascd In
$500 ball fur appearance In West Hldo
Court.
While roller skating behind a
truck, Kmil Boretmoii, twelve years
old, of No. 317 D8th Ktrcet, Brooklyn,
swung out Into tho roadway at Fourth
Avenue nnd C6th titroet ut this morn
ing nnd was struck and killed by nn
automobile driven by Sidney Fay,
nineteen, of No. 1028 57th Street.
Fay stopped and picked up the boy,
lrlvlng him hurriedly to the Nor

that Sorenson had been killed In
stantly. Fay wus locked up In the
Fourth Avenue police station charged
with homicide.
An automobjlo thief Injured three
women In Brooklyn this afternoon In
making his get-away and also lost the
car. Tho car, belonging to Harry

near Now Lots Avenue, and tho thief,
seizing It there, started off.
At Hinsdale Htreet nnd Blake Av -nuo
he collided with another auto

"It Is true she Is a womm of what
might be called suppressed Intelligence
and breeding, whoso imagination cn

sions of what sho saw and heard. But
Mr. Mott has satisfied himself, that
sho ,1s not a liar. V" - 'K
"His mirnnim In rnfrlnt- tiAi. tn
appear bcrora him yesterday was to
test her credibility" for Ills own satis,
taction. He went over her sworn nnd
unsworn statements slowly nnd care-
fully nnd purposely Interjected slight
detnlM which were not contained in
those documents. Each time she
Checked him und said, 'No, Mr. Mott, '.ij
I didn't say that. Tho stenographers
must have made a mistake.
couldn't have Bald I said (or heard)
that becauso It did not happen."
Mr. Mott, according to Mason, bo
Uevcs tie mass of statements detri
mental to Mrs, Gibson's veracity and
even sanity has Its source In persona t
who havo a life and death Interest in
discrediting' her narrative. 1
Mrs. Gibson was not on' her fajm
to-day. T,he State trooper whovns
put on duty there to protect her from
unnoyance yesterday was not Ojere
to-day. 1 .
DOESN'T DOUBT POLICE KNOW
WHERE MRS. GIBSON IS.
Mr. Mott, In Nuwnrlc, was asked by"
telephone If ho knew whero sho wau.
He answered Indirectly, saying:
"I havo knowledge of some things r .1
dono to Mrs. Ulbson which wero lm-j
proper and from which she should
be protected. I think It is only fait
to say these things were not the acta -of
the newspupcr men who have en
tirely properly sought Interviews und
photograph poses from her. It la
not the tlmo for mo to lo more ex
pllclt. If she Is not In New Brun
wick, I am confident the detectives
detailed to protect her know where
she Is." 1
Mr, Pfelffor said that as a result ot
dl Martini's investigations ho wos,
satisfied that Mrs. Mills called Mr,
Hall on the telephono at 7.30 o'clock
on tho evening tho two were last seen
allvo. Ho has definitely discarded the
Idea that any outsider lured tho recto
and Mrs. Hall to a meeting.
Timothy Newall Pfelffcr, former
Assistant District Attorney In New
York In charge of homlcldo caseB and
now attorney for Mrs. Hall, called on
Lieut. Mason nt 1 o'clock. He had
with him Felix dl Martini, formerly,
a New York detective, who made .
noted success as, an Investigator ot
murder mysteries. Neither would tell
why they wanted to bee Mason.
In regard to the reports that Mrs
Gibson had been Intimidated, Mr.
Pfelffcr said:
"I have not seen Mrs. Gibson. 1
havo sent no one to bct her. No one
representing mo has seen her."
"I do nut anticipate the arrest oi
indictment of Mrs. Hull," ho con
