h. Premier Potncare of France and.reP
ceived a warm' welcome from the dele^
orations from other lands.
The prospects of American activity
in the conference, which mrfny of the
foreigners appeared to interpret as
the launching of a new American ;>olr
icy in Europe, and the presence of a
strong delegation from Japan gave
'world-wide significance to the con^
clave.
)L Benito Mussolini, the new strong
man of Italy, with his air of alert J
determination, drew all eyes as hej
moved to his place not far from [
Venizelos, whose activities and popu-i
hprlty practically forced the abdica-l
tien of a Grecian king and who is twre i
to apply all his diplomatic skill to!
save what he can for his country ir. j
' the peace with Turkey which the con-1
fdlMiw is to formulate.
?' Veniaele* sat inscrutable under the I
accusation# of tha chief Turkish;

Greek army, withopt justification, had!
systematically devastated the Turkish
country; made a million * innocent j

Lord Curzon wanted Lausanne to'
make "a final peace of all." He
pledged England's whole souled support
in this cause.
Iamet Pasha spoke almost inaudibly
in French, but some were able to
catch the declaration that the world
war armistice of four years ago was
. "'concluded on the basis of and faith I
in the Wilsonian principles."

TIGER DELIVERS I
FIRST ADDRESS
New York, Nov. 20 (By the Associated
Press).?Georges Clemenceau, .
advocate of France, unleashed his orao)
y today before one of the moot
critical audiences he is likely to face
in America.
Appearing for a 15 minute talk before
a group of newspaper editors
and publishers at a luncheon arranged
hy Ralph Pulitzer of the New York
World, the venerable Tiger plunged
so deeply into the subject closest to
his heart that it was 58 minutes hefore
he could find a stopping place.
His Auditors represented many
shades of political opinion. Among
them were men who had written edi-;
tor<als criticizing his viewB on world
politics. But at the end of his address
they were all igreed on one thing?
that Clemenceau is passionately in
lamest about the cause of France,
and that his addresses will W? well
worth hearing.
The speech was delivered behind j
closed doors and it was generally!
agreed that it should not be reported.(
But it was authoritatively described
hb fellows:
"M. Clemenceau made a speech that
was marked by extraordinary eloquence,
frankness and sincerity. t
"He said that he ha<i not come to g
America to .tell the Americans what
fhoy should do but to show them what
France needs. * j
/'His address was a complete, cnnd'd
discussion of the situation as he
re\s it and was marked throughout by
deep emotion. 1
"He specifically requested that no
tvxtua! reference be made as he wishoil
to reserve the matter for his public
addresses." '
Col. Stephen Bonsai, who is immedi-'
ately in charge of the Clemenceau
tour, said tonight he did not kno-w
how long the Tiger would talk in his
first public address to be delivered
t morrow evening in the Metropolitan
opera house.
"We have urged him for his
health's sake to limit himself to an
l.our," he said, hut he may speak two.
But, however long he speaks, there is
no doubtiut that he will hold his
ard'enca?^ '
lb II year old ex-premier drove.
! ? iipap W| ?nearly
two hoars. He appeared aomewiiat
wearied by his effort but was up
f.^ain shortly before 5 o'clock'to go to
a ^reception of the Franco-American
society at the home of Thomas W.
Lnmont.

\t the opening session Ms.* Mott, as- t
listed by Azariah M. Beelihan, pros:cutor
of Somerset couimy," outlined i
o the grand jury the saliBijf features
>f the case. / f ;
3. J. Cardinal, a Nem Brunswick
newspaper man, was djftad to tell <
low the bodies of the nMrrfrred pair I
ay when he first saw twi'stretched ]
m U under a crab appld>Jree on the
Phillips farm. As Cardlfal testified

witnesses could be seen from without.
So the location of the stand was
:hanged and later the curtains were
Irawn. Dr. Lobelein, an acquaintince
of Mr. Hall, was the first to
dentify the body of the dead man as
hat of the minister.
Ihe third witness was George Totten,
Somerset county detective, whose
testimony was followed by that of
Daniel J. Wray and Frank Denier,
.wo more New Brunswick newspaper
men, then ttogart T. Conklin, farmsheriff
of this county, und his depuy,
Joseph Novatta.
When Novatta left, Totten was recalled
and close on his heels came on
>rder for Conklin to come back. Both
ivere followed by James P. Mason,
Mott's detective. A stir was caused
when Pearl Bahmer, who was with
Raymond Schneider when the bodies
were found, came through an under
ground passage from the jail to the
errand jury room. She was on the
stand only about 15 minutes. In the
hall, as she emerged from the jury
room, she met Schneider for the firs-,
time since she became star witness
against him on a charge of attacking
her. She nodded, but Schneider, sitting
between two detectives, did not
move or speak.
Dr. W. P. Long, the Somerset county
coroner's physician, who failed to
ronnrt that. Mr*. Mill)*' thrmit hail
been cut, was the next called. He
iidgeted with the door knob as he entered,
but once he was before the jurors
his story was soon told. Mrs.
Grace Edwards of New Brunswick
was the last witness. She told how
Schneider came to the Stryker horn*
to telephone the police. Mr. Mott refused
to discuss with reporters his
plans for tomorrow's session of the
grand jury nor would he say whether ,
Mrs. Hall would be a witness.
While the grand jury was in session
a New Brunswick newspaper
printed a letter from Mrs. Georke Sipel,
wife of a farmer of Middlebush,
which brought a new character into
the already overcrowded case. The
letter said her husband, George Si pel,
knew nothing of the murders, but declared
that Mrs. Gibson, the pig wo
man, was trying to bring him into it.
Sipel when seen tonight by reporters,
admitted Mrs. Gibson had talked to
him about the case. He said, however,
that all he knew pas that he
bad seen a wagon on Easton avenue
the night of the shooting. , Last Saturday.
he said, Mrs. Gibson asked him
to swear to something but he asserted
he told her she was talidng to the
"wrong type of man."
Tomorrow Drs. Cronk, Hagerman
and Smith, who made the autopsies
on the bodies of Hall and Mrs. Mills,
wOl be on the stand. The police officers
who guarded the bodies until
the county authorities appeared and
several miner witnesses . also are
sohedoled to appear.

SENTENCE IN FORCE 1
> WHILE ON PAROLE
e Holding that the sentence against
't a prisoner out under a parole from the ^
s governor continues to run while the k
1 prisoner is at liberty, the supreme L
r court yesterday morning handed down
a decision ordering Col. A. K. San- 0
s? ders, superintendent of the penitenti- b
I pry, to release Grover Crooks from
s his custody.
i Crooks was convicted of assault and w
i battery in Oconee county in Novum- is
- ber, 191G, und sertenced to serve six si1
f years. He was puroled December 22, n<
1921, by Governor Cooper "during Fi
i good behavior" and September 13, fo
? *.922. Governor Harvey revoked the M
I parole because Crooks, he said, hnd
violated its terms. sa
In the decision handed down yes- th
? terday, written by Justice Marion and th
r concurred in fcy Justices Wutts, pa
. Fraser and Cothrnn, the court says [ ca
i that the paixde granted to Crooks di<! j
, not suspend his sentence but thaJhe
Crooks remained in contemplation < f of
. he law as if in legal custody and con- te
? tinued to serve his sentence. Chief bu
, Justice Gary dissented from the opin- co
x ion. Crooks' sentence had expired by ex
. virtue of the operation of the law on t.,?
, April 5, 1922, and there was no fm- fn
? I cnrtfion ~A ' A *

The court draws a distinction be- J on
twecn "suspended sentence" and "con.> jn,
s ditional pardon" along with "parole.",
, The governor could grant a condi- tQ
. tional pardon or suspend a sentence js
. and a prisoner would be liable to com. fD
plete the remainder of his sentence
if the governor saw fit to revoke his tvv
* act. giving clemency, the court says. Rj
, Crooks was in the custody of the
sheriff of Oconee county at the time ^
his parole was revoked, being under
charges of breach of the peace. The j
court orders him returned to the;*
( sheriff. The case was argued before
the court on a petition for a writ of!,.,
habeas corpus, taken out before Jus-i^
| lice Watts, but returnable before the ?
j full court. w
ji The decision yesterday was of far
j reaching effect. It applies to the Reed
