1 LABOR MEETING COMES TO CLOSE j End of Conference at Geneva? j Germans Leave Hal! f I Geneva, Nov. 3.?The sessions of j the international labor conference' ended this evening. During the day;' prior to adjournment, the German j representatives left the conference j owing to differences arising over the j use of the German language in the! deliberations, and the Swiss govern- J merit delegates, Dr. Pfi '.er and Pro- j fessor Delaquis, also departed for, home, pleading prosing business at! Berne. The representatives 01 the Swiss j employees and workers, however, re- j mainea to the end of the confer- j ence. Although the question of the j use of .the German language was I -upposed to have ben settled so far i as the present conference was con-! cerned it was brought up today by a i motion inviting the international la-; bor bureau to investigate the final | involved in the adoption of another! official language. Kerr Wesser. aj ' German workers' delegate, in 3, strongly worded speech declared that millions of German workers were embittered because their rem*esen-' ! tatives were unable to make their. voices heard at Geneva on questions I of the utmost interest to them. : "If the German people has fallen" j he said, "if it has been brought to ; earth, it has not lost faith that in ; the future it will sec a new dawn arise for it." ! The German delegation then rose,; fooL- nr? fhnlr nsnprs Jind Solemnlv ! vvv" r-i filed out of the room, leaving those in the meeting overcome with sur- j prise. ley silence followed the words of Herr Wesser, but soon afterwards Dr. Aristedes de Aguero y Betancourt of Cuba, vice president of the conference, spoke in condemnation of the authors of the incident and reproached them for abandoning their posts. He was loudly applauded. It had ben palbable that the Swiss government delegation was not satisfied with the- treatment it had re-. ' ceived at the conference, particu-. larly becausc Switzerland had been ; replaced on the council by Finland i and also because of allegations that Swiss views on questions of interest to Switzerland had failed of apVro-, val by the conference. Viscount Burnham, Great Britain, chairman of the conference, gave a summary of the work done at the , sessions. He said the work had been less arduous than in previous years but much ^ood had been ac-, complishea. He added that at next year's Pan-American conference in Chile both the le?rue of nations and the labor bureau would be well represented. In closing his address Viscount Burnham expressed satisfaction that there had been American observers at the Geneva conference and said he hoped they would return in future years. j GLASS FACTORY OPERATING AGAIN i Portions of Building Burned in Summer Completed Within Few Days I 1 Laurens, Nov. 3.?The Laurens Glass works will resume operation j * within the next week or ten tiays. j The work of rebuilding the burned ! portions of the plant will be finished by that time.

Macready and Oakley Kelly, trying to mak^ a non-stop f:i<rht t from San Diego to Xew York in the great monoplane T-2. They took ofT from the army aviation field a few i seconds before C a. m., and passed over Deming, X. M., about 2:'>5 p. m. I Officers at the field early tonight said ; they felt confident that all was right with the aviators despite th? i srk a1' further reports. The takeoff was acclaimed ;v- a iv ?:-:e:\y piece of airmanship. l.iev.t'.T.ca; Ke'lv !:an- j died the wheel as he did on the morning of Occtber o, when the two' aviators took the air on a flight j which resulted in a duration record j ofuo hours, 18 minutes and 30 sec-j onds. When the big machine left I the ground today, however, it weighed 10,800 pounds, or 500 pounds more than when it started on October 5. Both aviators expressed confidence. "We epec-t to eat dinner in New York Saturday evening," said Macready, with a laugh. "It certainly looks like our day," said Kelly, after a glance at the ! skies. Day was just breaking when the I machine was started. It went off in a wide circle and passed over the field i a few minutes later fully 800 feet i up. Kelly, steering, was plainly seen i by those on the Held. Mac ready was j in the enclosed cabin out of vision i of the crowd. Two aviators in fast machines accompanied the fliers until they got safely through Tcmecula Pass, the first part of the trip after the takeoff. They reported that the great monoplane, though carrying a heavy load, -had gone over the mountains with a sal'-jty margin of fully 800 feet. I Libei'al.

J., Nov. 3.? Tnia *.vnsnatno)1 Anv nf mVS'tPl'V in! the Hall-Mills murder case. The following things happened: 1. County Detective David, workin,'? under Special Deputy Attorney General Mott, predicted that report- j ers could bank on action next week. 2. Detectives claimed to have located the automobile in which the slayers are believed to have ridden to the scene of the murders on the Phillips farm. o. The witness heralded as having testimony to support the eyewitness story oi the shooting told by Mrs. Jane Gibson, farmer and self-styled eyewitness to the double shooting, was identified as Mrs. A. C. Fraley, a widow living with her daughter in a farmhouse on Lovers' lane near the scene of the murders. It was understood that she had seen, from the j upper stories 01 ner nome, n^ums moving in the field in which the slaying had occurred and heard shots, but her home was barred today to reporters and she co'uld not be interviewed. Signourney Smith, a grave digger and a boarder i!i Mrs. Fraley's home, already has been questioned by state troopers. 4. Mr. Mott failed to show'up in \ New Brunswick, although his assistants had summoned oil th? witnesses for interrogation, with the exception of Mrs. Edward Wheeler Hall, whose husband, rector of the Church of St. John, the Evangelist, was found slain with Mrs. Eleanor R. Mills, choir singer. f>. Detective Mason, chief aide to Mr. Mott, later was seen to depart in the direction of Newark, after holding a hasty, platform conference with Mrs. Gibson .and another woman said to have been her mother. <j. Mr. Mason was seen after his arrival in Newark and denied that he had taken witness during the day for questioning by Mr. Mott. He said he anticipates no important developments before Monday. 7. The rumor still prevailed that grand jury action might be expected Monday and that two warrants had already been prepared. Miss Sally Peters, confidant of Mrs. Hall, told reporters Mrs. Hall was much pleased with the results ] of the long interview she had given, reporters this week, and that letters received irem various parts ot the j country indicated a strong reaction , in favor of the rector's widow. Investigators announced ihat they I were receiving1 scores of freak let-j ters from persons offering to solve ; the mystery. One otfered an aigebraic solutionDesignating principals as A, E. C, D, etc.. and the slayer as X. The writer forwarded scix pages of equations which left the investigators ^t;11 in doubt r.s to the identity of Dream solutions i-re ariving by the ?io/.en. One evangelist submitted <.he result of a supposedly divine communication. The letters accused a dozer, difforont persons of tho crime. CARNEGIE FUND GIVES PENSIONS i Many A?cd Men and Women Benefit. I Action in Court New York, Nov. *>.?On the tomb:-L me of the iron master, Andrew Carnegie, lit Sleepy Hollow cemetery, is the epitaph he wrote: "Here lies a man who knew how to: enlist in his service better men than! | himself." | Documents made public today, and \ \ filed in the appellate division of the' I supreme court in support of an ap-j I poal asking that a $4,500,000 pension j j fund created by Carnegie's will be; | declared untaxable, sounded a practi-, I cal over-tone to the keynote of the ] | epitaph. j The documents showed that GOO | men and women, most of them more than 80 years old, were on the pension list o^ the Scotch iron master j who died in 191.9. Some of the .ben-| | cfieiaries receive ?10 a month; others] | incomes that approximate $5,000 j | yearly. Some of them are workmen j j grown too old for their trades; some' j of them hart*e been downed by sudden j [misfortune. One of them is a vis- J j count of London; another is the wid-j ow of a railroad engineer. But most of them are "men who enlisted in the service of Andrew Carnegie." To Miss iielen Keller, the famous, girl who is deaf, dumb and blind, the Carnegie pension fund grants an an-1 nuity of $2,500. Viscount Johnj Morley of Wimbeldon Park, London,' is provided with 1,000 pounds ster-j ling a year, after reaching the age of 80, according to the pension list. . Hundreds of others whose names are unfamiliar on news pages, but which were once written on the pay- j rolis of steel mills and plants in! Pennsylvania, receive incomes of varying sizes from the fund. Several letters from Mr. Carnegie in regard to the care of obscure friends were made public today by Robert A. Franks, who for many years directed the disposal of the pensio i'und. One says of an old man and his wife: . "They are no' longer able to work and on the verge of losing their minds. The arrangement I suggest, I hope, will make them comfortable to tnc end." Another letter concerns an engineer, who, close to death, asked Mr. Carnegie's aid for his family, one of whom was a crippled daughter. The engineer, in his feeble days, had been pensioned, and the letter directs the Continuation of aid to his family, saying: . "If more is needed to keep the widow and her daughter, it is to be given them, sure." One letter, directing the enrollment of the name of a woman on the list of pensioned, tells directly of a "man enlisted in the service" of Carnegie. It says: "Please say her father loaned me $217.50 in order to make my first payment on sleeping car stock. Say that he took my note without secur\ ity, saying, 'Yes, I'll lend it to you, Andy; you're all right.' So his daughter need have no hesitation in coming under my wing now, as it were." , The appeal for the ruling dispensing with taxation of the fund? which was granted?was partly based upon proofs offered to show that the pension fund was but a small part of the philanthropies of the iron master, who gave away, the accounting shows, 8350,000,000. < Andrew Carnegie retired from business in 1901, the court was told, and from then until-his death was most interested in the disposition of large portions of his fort'ine.

They loved their master as their ancestors loved his distinguished forebears <and nowhere is Page's death felt more keenly than in the simple hearts of these Southern negroes. The auditorium of the little church was packed with men and women. .Every seat occupied am lozens stood against the high walls of the quaint edifice. In the center of the ro'om was the giant wood stove, which has heated the building: for many years. From the wails projected the brack ets whence oil lamps have shed their rays on m:iny distinguished men and women who have worshipped there. I On the other side of the building the 'divided stream of Pamunkey river [flowed farth;.r apart as the waters I made their way to the sea.
