. FRENCH TO MOVE
AGAINS^ VURKS
London, Sept. 29 (By the Associated
Press).?The events of the next few
days probably will be largely influenced
by the outcome of the meeting
which M. Franklin-Bouillon, the
French envoy sent by the Paris government
to Asiatic Tuikey, has just
had with Mustapha Kemal Pasha, the ?
Turkish Nationalist leader.'
The policy the British authorities
Lave pursued in the face of the continued
occupation by the Kemalists of
the region in the vicinity of Chanak's
believed in London tc have been due
to the absence of definite information
as to how far Great Britain could depend
upon French and Italian support
in the event of hostilities with
the Turks. An agreement with the
Angora government. eonelnHe^ .
time ago by. M. Franklin-Bouillon, included
a clause undet which France
undertook not to engage In military
operations against the Turks in Asiatic
T'inor.
Reports from Constantinople to the
effect that Murtapha Kemal is' in favor
of peace; but, on the other hand,
/.t I the Associated Press' correspondent
asserts that the French and Italians
in Constantinople express the opinion
that the British ought to withdraw
from Chanak and confine themselves
to the European side of the Gallipolo
' peninsula.
It is expected that the meeting between
Franklin-Bouillan and Kemal
' Pasha will make the actual situation
clearer. The situation as revealed
here today following an important,
cabinet meeting appeared to be that,
the British government had arrived'
nearly at the end of its patience.
What is said to have been virtually
an ultimatum demanding that the |
Turkish troops quit the Chanak zone
has been sent to Mustapha Kemal,
fasha, and after the cabinet meeting |
it was said that Brigadier General
Haringtfn had been informed he
would have the full sopport of the
l^vTotmiiciiv m tOAiu^ nriiabCVCI 5l?pB
he thought advisable to bring the
Turkish occupation to an end and thus
terminate the grave situation, which
Hraflftwa*. considered nothing less thai*
Turkish defiance to t^e British emment'a
view regarding* this note is
that if one part of it is broken the
whole of it becomes ineffective.
It was added that the British would
no longer be satisfied with Kemai's
promise that the troops would advance
no farther, but will require the
actual withdrawal of the Nationalist
forces. - .
According to the official view here,
at the coming meeting between General
Harington and Remal nothing
will be discussed but actual militavy
matters and that it is intended to
clear up any misunderstanding arising
from the Kemalist charges of aggression.
It will be contended that
the British operations are necessary
x and justifiable but not hostile.
There have been reports today that
the Turks might be allowed to cross
into Thrace in return for the evacua-!
tion by the Kemalists of the wholej
of the neutral zone. These reports i
met with little credence in London,!
but, according to the Associated Press j
correspondent in Constantinople,
there is talk there of the Greeks bc-:
uig aonou tu .cvacuavc cttsv^ni inrttCVj
by October 10, thus permitting the t
Turks to enter the region by way of
ports on the Sea of Marmora. The ,
view in official circles here tonight f
L was that as the Sea of Marmora has j ?
been declared neutral, the Greek fleet: f
can operate there and effectively prevent
the Turks from crossing. ,
Malta dispatches received in London
rennrt that tlia RWflati flaot In
the Dardanelles and the British army
at Ohanak are being constantly reinforced,
while Mudros is being con- <
verted into a subsidiary base for the 1
fleet operating in Turkish waters. i

CREASY CLAIMS
GIRL SHOT SELF
Mineola, N. Y., Sept. 29.?William
Creasy, fromer sailor, from Ken;ucky,
on trial for the murder of
Hiss Edith Lavoy, his school teacher
iweetheart, today took the stand and
.old his version of how, at the end of
i romance begun through a matrinonial
agency, she met death in her
warding house at Freeport, L. L
About many phases of his life in
the past five years, Creasy pleaded
forgetfulpess, under cross-examinaion,
or was unable to recall what
notives prompted him to acts which
lie freely admitted.
He did not remember his divorced
vife had ever deserted him; whether
le had enlisted or been drafted in the
World war, or whether he told Miss
javoy ne was single wmie be was f
:ourting her as his "one and "\>nly t
sweetheart." i
His story of the fatal shooting was g
he same he has repeated several f
limes since his arrest. j
Asleep, he lay beside the girl on a t
lavenport in her home, to be awak- r
med by a shot and then to discover J
the had killed herself with his re- j
irolver, he testified.
"I jumped up and saw the blood on y
ler face," he said. "I screamed and j
an from the room, crying to Edith's ]
hum, 'My God, Edy has shot herself.' o
Afterward I told the landlady and R
isked her to get a doctor." t
The pistol, he asserted, was one he j
tad carried for seven or eight years, a
is was the custom in his native sec- e
ion of Kentucky.
Miss Lavoy had kept it since sev- t
:ral months before when they had r
ised it together at target practice. ^
Creasy testified he met the school 0
eacher through a correspondence q
igency at Grays Lake, 111., which he a
lad joined in February, 1920. He 8
dentified his application to the r
igency, wherein he gave his age as >
56, his religion-"none," set forth he ?
vaa "an accomplished danced," had ?
in qnnual income of $1,800, owned
12,000 in property and would inherit ^
in equal sum. b
"Could make a woman a happy
iome," he c
sver been divorced?" was Jeft un- g
inswered. - n
Attempting to prove the state's a
ontention that Creasy shot the girl
vhen .she refused to marry him, in t;
ontradicition Creasey's defense that j
the killed herself because his love v
tad waned. tl
"I want to be something more than
eal friends," Creasy wrote Miss La- (
rnv. "I orav I mav make vour life a t
lappy one." "I am your true friend, j,
Jilly, with all my love for you." "I ^
eel as though I should get married j
o make a girl a real husband and f
rnppy." g
"When you called her your rc.'
iweetheart, you meant it, didn't 1
rou ?" naked the prosecuting attorley,
but Creasy replied, "I gueea I
ras only kidding."
At - other times he said he didn't
enow whether he was "kidding or
lot."
He joined the correspondence club j
'as n matter of sport, I suppose," he .
laid, but didn't think his motive was
'just to kid some girl along a lit- le."
t
In one of his letters Creasy had *
inid he was not "just some sort of a
lirting sailor," but today he was unible
to recollect whethe he was a .
lirting sailo or not.

STILLMAN LOSES
IN DIVORCE SUIT
Carmel, N. Y., Sept. 29 (By the Associated
Press).?James A. Stilman,
millionaire banker of New York, today
lost his fight to divorce Mrs.
\nne U. Stillman and disown baby
3uy Stillman was himself found
guilty of the charge he made against
lis wife?the parentage of an file-*
fitimate child.
Mr. Stillman, it was indicated tolight,
has not given up the fight. His
awyers would not say whether they
vould appeal from the findings,
ihould these be upheld by e supreme
:ourt justice, but they were reportid
to have made a move which seemngly
makes clear that they have not
conceded defeat.
It was announced by John E. Mack,
piardian ad litem for Guy Stillman,
hat at Poughkeepsie a week from tonnrrnm
hd wnnlH a air .TimHno Mnr.
ichauser to confirm Referee Gleason's
indings. As soon as this anouncenent
was given out, it was learned
hat the plaintiff will seek to have the
natter placed before Supreme Court
rustics Tompkins instead of Justice
dorschauser on the same date.
Most of the hearings in the case
tave, in the past, been before Judge
iforschauser. It was he wlro granted
Idrs. Stillman record alimony of $90,>00
a year, and it was Justice Morichauser,
who granted, over protest,
he shifting of the trial to Montreal
ast spring. There Mrs. Stillman preented
some of her most damaging
ividence.
The report of the case, filed here
his morning by Daniel Gleason, the
eferee, gave to Mrs. Stillman a comitate
victory in her defense of her
>wn honor and the good name of
!uy, her three year old son. She-was
Iso victorious in the counter attack
he waged against Mr. Stillman. The
eferee upheld her accusations that
he banker had lived with a former
1 roadway show girl, Florence H.
jeeds, in the manner of husband and
tife, and that he had acknowledged
timself the fathet of two children
om to Mrs. Leeds.
Mr. Gleason ruled that Mr. Stillnan
had not proved his allegation
i'red Beauvaih, half-breed Indian
:uide formerly employed by the Stillnans
at their summer camp in Canda.
He also 'found Guy Stillman to be
he legitimate son of the banker and
drs. Anne U. Stillman, bom in Noember,
1918. Stillman had charged
hat the guide was the baby's father.
As a result of the findings today,
luy retains his right to share with
lis two older brothers and his sister
n the $6,000,000 trust fund establishd
by 'their grandfather, the late
ames Stilman, and in a $27,000,000
und to be distributed when James A.
Itillman dies.

SITU ATlOl GROWS
EXTREMELY TENSE
Constantinople, Sept. 29 (By the
Associated Press).?*the situation between
the BritLskri|nd the Turkish nationalists
was ?4ffc)remely tense tonight.
A note from -elfustapha Kemr.1
Pasha to BrlgadiMtCeneral Harington,
the British CWlhiander, coached
in a hostile tenot/Ssss considered by
British military allies here as closing
the door to a^-pacific settlement
of the straits questnn. The pi-ospects
of an armed ccalUNpt were considered,
more evident than Apviously.
The note of Kom^'demands the retirement
of all the Bptish troops from
the Asiatic aide of $e straits, as the
French and Italians have done, and
says in case of acquiescence he will
withdraw the nationalist forces
"slightly" from thqjfieutral zone.
It also demands {the cessation of
what are termed thfc arbitrary measures
of the British qbthorities in Constantinople
in dealii^i with the Turkish
population and contains a solemn
warning that no Qrfedk vessel shall be
(icnnavea w puss vue .fHraaneneB, 11
concludes with A pattest against the
destruction of Tuik$h war material
in the straits. '
The note of Kema| was in reply to
the last written afern munication of
General Haringtoift, transmitted j
through Hamid Bey*-the Nationalist;
representative in Constantinople, to1
Kemal in Smyrna. I
It is felt in British circles tonight I
that they would ba Agreed 40 modify!
their conciliatory attitude at the mo-j
ment the Turks bring up heavy artil-i
lery with which they would be able J
to threaten seriously^ tin: European
side of the Dardanelles also hamper
passage of BritM^ Vessels through
the straits. &
Six submarines ot^the British Atlantic
fleet have arrnred and will be
used to prevent the tginsprt of Turkish
troops across tfce Sea of Marmora
ir. the event of war bftween the British
and the Turks.
The British also have posted batteries
in strategie positions on the
heights of Chanliga,..Outward .of Scutari,
and at lfal-VMdkon the Haidar 1
Pass railway, facing tP^inklpo island.
of the Besphorus, a f sbthrt distance '
from Constantinople. .
Some optimism was fslt today over
the meeting between M. Franklin- '
Bouillon, the French envoy, and Mus- 1
tapha Kemal Pasha at Smyrna, where '
there was a conference on the general '
situation. Later, while oh the way io
Eski-shehr, Kemal received a message
calling him to Angora to discuss
with the government the Nationalist
reply to the allied demands. Therefore
General Harington has postponed
his departure for Mudania to meet
Kemal.
Meanwhile the Turkish leader has!
given assurance that his troops will
not advance further than the neutral
one.
The belief prevails in British military
circles that Greece may be asked
to evacuate Thrace by Ocober 10.
This would permit the Kemalists to
enter Thrace by ports on the sea of
Marmora, avoid a violation of the
straits and satisfy the Kemalist demand
for possession of Thrace before
the proposed peace conference begins.
It is held that the Greek revolution
has radically altered the Thracenn
situation and that there is np certainty
that the new Athens government
will be able to maintain an efficient
army there, even pending the settle
ment of peace. It is suggested that if
Greece refused to evacuate Thrace an
allied fleet may blockade the Greek
mainland.

MORE ROADS
AGREE TO PLAN
Chicago, Sept. 29( By the Associated
Press).?Arguments on the
status of chief train .. dispatchers?
whether they are officials or subordinate
officials?to determine their
right to inclusion in the wage and
rule agreements between carriers and
the American Train Dispatchers' association,
occupied the attention of
the United States railroad labor board
today.
While the board was hearing arguments
by the roads' executives,
John Higgins of the Western roads;
John G. Walber of the Eastern carriers
and Dr. C. P. Neal of the Southeastern
group, Ben W. Hooper,
chairman of the board, was closeted
with D. B. Robertson, head of the
railroad firemen's organization. President
Robertson asked for the conference
with Chairman Hooper to
discuss pending rules disputes with
all the 202 class one carriers of the
ruu.j ko.
unu^u uvavco. A uc y tiavc uccu
fore the board for several months.
The two main issues in dispute are
the union's request for two firemen
or automatic stokers on all engines
of over 200,000 pounds and expenses
while away from home.
At the same time John Scott, secretary
of the federated shop crafts,
announced that B. M. Jewell had signed
agreements with addit.Mnal roads
on the Baltimore peace plan, bringing
the grand total to 74. Other conferences
arranged by Mr. Jewell, assist
ed by Daniel Willard, president of
the Baltimore & Ohio, were pending,
Mr. Scott said.
All representatives of the railroads
before the board today opposed
the demands of the dispatchers organization
for two weeks' vacation a
year with pay and the classification
of chief dispatchers as subordinate
officials. Under the terms of the
terms of the transportation act, subordinate
officials are governed by its
provisions, while officials are not.
The question of vacations was overshadowed
in importance by the controversy
over the status of chief dispatchers.
Most of the day was given
to arguing the duties and powers and
ilwwaiiiN'iwiw
President Robertson's visit with
Chairman Hooper today was regarded
as an effectual sincerity of any
rumors that the Big Four brotherhoods
are attemnting to dodge the
labor board. The rules he discussed
with Chairman Hooper wer first
placed before the carriers in 1919,
later taken up by a mediation board
during federal control and subsequently
carried to the labor board in
1920?
Although no official announcement
was forthcoming, it was understood
that the board has left the disputes
undecided at the request of the firemen
who were negotiating with the
carriers. No decision on these rules
is expected, however, until the return
of )>oard members.
The board is expected to take up
for decision in executive session the
case of the United Brotherhood of
Maintenance of Way Employees on
Monday, the same day that organization
will be in convention in Detroit

Mr. B. B. Betsill, of Cross Keys,

He looks after the farm of Mr. B. F.

will average over half a bale to the
acre on poor land. On his own farm
wnere ne aia not use arsenate or molasses
he will make only three bales

court. Judge D. U. Comb made it
plain in comment that he found defendant

REVOLUTIONISTS
CONTROL ATHENS
Athens, Sept. 29 (By the Associated
Press).?Dawn today found the
troops of the revolution bivouacked
on the grounds of the royal palace
and a few hours later the revolutionary
committee disembarked from the
battleship Lemnos (formerly the U.
S. S. Idaho) at Phaliron and marched
into Athens triumphantly at the head
of a section of the army.
Extraordinary scenes marked the
arrival of the committee. Colonel
Gonatas and Colonel Plastiras, the
leaders, had difficulty in advancing
through the dense crowds filling the
streets. Flowers were tossed before
them and garlands forcibly placed
around their necks amid wild cheers
trom the multitude. The troopers 1
were given the same reception.
The committee announced its intention
of distributing the minis- (
terial portfolios to both Venizelists (
and non-Venizelists, with the under- 1
standing these latter must have pro- 1
entente sentiments.
A telegram was sent to Venizelos
in Finance expressing gratitude for
his services to the country and asking
him to defend anew the interests (
of Greece with great nations of Europe
and represent Greece at the J
forthcoming peace conference. The
former minister's friends say the
backbone of the revolution was the
sympathy for Venizelos, but say he
will not return to Greece until realled,
by the election.
Athenians today moved freely
through the streets, seeming to feel
that the danger of warfare and bloodshed
had been averted. lieanwhile .
the vast extent of the revolution became
known. Constantine himself t
was the first to see the futility of i
resistance.
Following the arrival of the revo- ^
lutionists all political prisoners in
Athens, including the republicans,
were immediately released, and the
republicans organized anti-monarchist
meetings, at which they
harangued the street crowds.
During the enthusiastic scenes oc- 4
easional shots were hred, but these
seemed to mark the delirium of joy ^
The revolutionary committee is- *
sued a proclamation calling for the
maintenance of order and pledging
the security of all citizens without
distinction.
Paris, Sept. 29 (By the Associated

of Greece returned to Paris from
Deauville today and immediately entered

EFFORT MADE TO
SOLVE MURDER
New Brunswick, N. J., Sept. 30.?
Investigators seeking a solution of
the mysterious slaying two weeks ago
of Rev. Edward Hall and his choir
leader, Mrs. Elinor Mills, announced
that they had found a tangible clue
and an arrest is momentarily expected,
but they refused to disclose the
nature of the clue.
New Brunswick, N. J., Sept. 29.-Governor
Edwards announced today
in h icwr responding to a request
for aid from Charlotte Mills, 10 year
old daughter of Mrs. Eleanor Reinhardt
Mills, that he had invoked the
assistance of the detectives to the
New Jersey state police to help solve
the mystery of the murder of Mr.-..
Mills and the Rev. Edwnrd W. Hall.
For the first time, since the bodies

dergymnn were found under an npMe
tree two weeks ago, the exact
haracter of the woman's wounds was
nadc known today, following an i.u.opsy
after the exhumation of her
