only to emphasize the difficulties the
IpHK^ authorities are encountering in their
- clTorts to check up the evidence on
?S|jK which 19 year old Clifford Hayes
"tands accused of the double slaying.
The third to go to jail was Pearl
Uahmer. She is the 15 year old girl
whom Raymond Schneider says Hayes
Wv thought he wa^ slaying, with her;
father, when, according to Schneider's j
? : .-tory, Hayes fired four bullets into
*" the bodies of the Rev. Edward Wheeler
Hall and Mrs. Eleanor Rhinehardt
k" , Mills on 1he night of September 14
on the deserted Phillips farm. Schneider
was held as a material witness. |
Pearl was not officially jailed in j
connection with the Hall-Mills case.
E* The charge against her, which she
\ calmly admitted, was incorrigibility.
Prosecutor Str.^er of Middlesex coun- j
tv, who has been active In the InvesL;'?.
tigation'of the Hall-Mills, case, ap-l
peared personally against her. Coun-1
JQgPf ^ ty Judge Daly, before whom the hearSg?/
- ;ng was held, departed from the rule
BHll&bkfc. of secrecy in juvenile cases and threw
open because he declared
* right to know why
^P^^K^AhaddiSonllreason for her

that she waa too difficult to find when

WT daughter and held in $10,000 bail following
his arraignment.
? Pearl, who was with Schneider .when
' the bodies of Mr. Hall and Mrs. Mills
were "found" two days after the murders,
on more than one occasion had
given newspapermen working on the
case reason to believe she knew more
than she was telling. Incidentally, she

her sweetheart, and has
sought to convey the impression that
he knew mure about the murders than
Haves, whom he accused of the crime,
Schneider, it was disclosed today,
told four different stories about his
knowledge of the slayings before he
V reached the story of Hayes' commission
of the crime, on which the authorities
acted. After he had been
trapped in prevarications in the first
hour, said a state trooper, who was
present throughout the long grilling,
Schneider would say: "Well, let's go
hack and start all over again. Ill tell
the truth this time."
His final story still falls to jibe
with facts about the murder brought
out from other sources?notably his
insistence that neither Rayes nor he
had cut Mrs. Mills' throat after the
shooting, although an autopsy showed
the head had been almost severed.
/ There are almost as broad disc rep??4

that night, before he hmw Pearl gufog
out with her father, and started
trailing the pair with Hayes.
Pearl first said he was with her
until about 9 o'clock. Then she said
he was not with her at all. Detectives
say they have practically established
that he was not with her, and
they are trying to check up on his
movements between 8 and 11 o'clock
?the period in which the murders
are known to havqr committed.
Schneider says it was about 1 o'clock

SILVER FIGHTING
FOR FORD OFFER
Washington, Oct. 10.?Gray Silver,
Washington representatives of the
American Farm Bureau federation,
attempts today to make the Ford offer
for Muscle Shoals an issue in the
pending congressional campaigns. He
has addressed communications to every
farmer in the United States
whose address could be obtained, an
urgent insistence that friends of the
Ford offer be elected to congress.
He quotes an alleged statement of
the National Fertilizer association to
the effect that the Fold offer will not
be accepted the next session of conI
gress, and advises that to prevent the
materialization of the boast, Ford men
be sent to Washington.
In his communication, Silver de|
claies that in every instance those
who stand for the Ford offer are
organizations having nothing at heart
save the interest of the people, whereas
those opposing the offer are invarinbly
corporations which might be
affected by the acceptance of the Ford
offer.
He makes the fertilizer corporation
a special object of attention, because
he believes, it is said, that all farmers
"cuss" the people from whom they
buy fertilizer because of the prices
they are required to pay.
It is understood that Silver has
compiled a list of representatives and
senators favoring and opposing the
Ford offer, and that this information
has been sent to voters throughout
I the country.
There is sharp difference of opinion
as to whether the Ford offer will
be stronger or weaker in the next session
of congress, Mr. Ford has made
it plain, however, that he hSs not retired,
from the field. He is alleged to
have characterized those who are said
*C^?n 00 k**
A tegular meeting of Martha Chapter,
No. 19, O. E. S., was held last
night at the Masonic Temple. Degrees
were conferred upon Mrs. Emma
Williams Barron and Miss Pearl Harris,
whom we welcome within our
chapter. This was one of the most
enthusiastic meetings that has been
held within the Eastern Star chapter.
The work was beautifully done. One
prominent Mason said he wished ev,
ery Mason in the county could have

and protesting his innocence of
Schneider's charge. He adhered to his
story that he and Schneider had come
up on the bodies of the slain pair
while hunting for Pearl and her
father ;that Schneider had stolen the
minister's watch, and that they had
both decided to say nothing about
their And.
Detectives and state troopers continued
their efforts to uncover more
evidence about the murders, many of
them frankly expressing skepticism
as to Schneider's story, and indicating
they had leads which pointed to a
wholly different solution of the case.
Disbelief in Schneider's story apparently
has gripped hundreds of citizens
of New Brunswick, many of
whom have openly expressed convic tion
that the authorities were on a
false scent. There was a report today
that several leading business men
were planning to start a public fund
for Hayes' defense, but this could not
be confirmed.
Walter C. Sedan, counsel for Schneider,
announced today that he would
appear before Supreme Court Justice
Parker in Trenton Thursday,* seeking
j his client's release on ball. He said
l Schneider could raise bail if it were
| fixed at not more than $10,000.
ARMISTICE NOW
SEEMS CERTAIN
London, Oct. 11 (By the Associated
Press).?With the armistice just sign- <
ed at Mudania putting an end to war- i
fare between the Greeks and Turkish <
Nationalists, plans for the conference i
designed to bring about definite peace i
i nthe Near East are proceeding in a
less agitated atmosphere. i
1
Mudania, Oct. 10 (By the Associated i
Press).?The armistice convention ]
was signed nere tonignt at 11 o'clock. <
The representatives of the powers j
CT?ncerned affixed their signatures to j
the revised protocol, which General |
llarington had presented for accept- |
nnce to Ismet Pasha and which the ,
Nationalist delegate forwarded to the ,
Angora government for its decision, j
General Harington had informed Is- ,
met Pasha that the convention em- ,
bodies Great. Britain's last word and
that the other powers gave their un
qualified support to the terms. On (
his part Ismet had replied that he
hoped his government would accept
the changes set forth and promised u
reply by 5 o'clock in the afternoon. In !
the meantime the British commander
returned to Constantinople, where he ,
iemained until this afternoon, pro- .
ceeding back to Mudania on the Iron (
Duke to hear the Turkish decision.
The Turkish delegates were some- j
vhat dismayed and disappointed over (
the turn of events in the past two ,
rays. The new attitude taken by
France after the Paris conference |
puzzled them and they were amazed ;
that French friendship, on which they
counted as a main prop in the negotiations,
did not yield the results they
expected.
At the f ession of the conference
Monday night Ismet Pasha, expressed
dissatisfaction at the terms the allies
offers. He said to General Harington:
"But your new armistice convention
is a contradiction to the assurances
given to me by General Charpy. The
convention, instead of paving the way
PtMf < QvAy makes matters worse."
j ^jteKVfWfWarington replied merely:
"General Chappy has assented to the.
[ 'It was upon France's suggestion
that our army 'ceased operations
against the Greeks, France promising
us favorable armistice terms. France's
resPonsibiUtjL there is considerable.
"If no ajflweihent is reached our
army will insist on matching into
Thrace, but every day's delay?caused
by our reliance on favorable armistic
promises?diminishes our military
advantage."

SENATOR DIAL (
VISITS COLUMBIA
Senator Nat B. Dial ia s visitor in

attend the meeting of thejjBouth Car- tl
olina division of the American Cot- a
ton association to be h*ld here to- w
day. i cl
Senator Dial is hopeful W securing
action qp his proposed .Amendment
to the cotton futures act at the next 8
regular session of congresi and feels, J
he said, that he made a geod rnaneu- l>
ver in getting the matter before the n
federal trade commission* which, he ^
is confident, will suppor^jsome such b
measure as that he prqBoses. His e
bill, Senator Dial admits,Zrould revolutionize
the marketings of cotton
and would, he thinks, rtjkiilt in an 84
increase in the prices paid the pro- 8
riucer. The methods of thd cotton ex f?
change are such, he said, as to de- si
press the price of any jiommodity. M
The' discussion of the bill, "precipitat- d
ed by his various moves during the is
recent session of congreis, Senator f<
Dial thinks, has roanltwi ! In I
^ains in favor of his bill And has re- D
vealed the fact as stated by Senator V
Underwood on the floor of* the senate ei
that there is beyond question some- cl
thing wrong with the exflMnge sys- tl
tem. He is not bound to hfg own bill, ai
Senator Dial says, but bolteues that si
something must be done art) has been ci
convinced by a study of tho measure s;
that either his measure or sgme simi- d<
lar bill offers the remedy. The only vi
objection raised against the measure ir
in the report of the agriculture com- si
mittee, Senator Dial said, was direct- fi
ed against a feature no longer em- f<
bodied in the bill. The measure, he
believes, will be of no little benefit tl
to the South and in the extr^ne emer- g
gency there is alway the kppeal to at
the people. "If they kngw the full ai
facts," he said, "I am certain they fi
would not sand a single span back to c<

candal mongers. There 1b no liner
roman on earth than Mrs. DeBoulel."
Atlanta, Oct. 11.?"1 do not want a (

ler's money, but they will have to (
ay dearly for the combine to wreck ]
ly reputation with insults," declared ,
Irs. Onezime DeBouchel, who yeserday
anno.inrcd the breaking of the ,

???
Atlanta, Oct. 10.?Names of per- ,
sns who furnished Asa G. Candler, j
r., Atlanta capitalist, with the inDonation
that prompted his deciion
to break his engagement to
[rs. Onezima de Bouchel, will not be
ivulged, according to a statement
[sued here early tonight by counsel
>r Mr. Candler.
The statement, made public by W.
?. Thompson, personal attorney for
[r. Candler, followed one given out
arlier in the day by Mrs. de Bouael,
whose engagement to the wealtiy
manufacturer and banker was
nnounced several weeks ago. In her
tatement, Mrs. de Bouchel severely
riticized what she teoned 'this culmy
conspiracy" and "hideous slaner"
and Mr. Candler's refusal to diulge
sources of information reflectig
upon her character which she
tated, he gave as reasons for his
ulure to proceed with original plans
>r their marriage.
"Mr. Candler sincerely regrets
hat Mrs. de Bouchel should have
iven such publicity to an unforttfnte
priva-e affair," the statement isued
by Mr. Thomson read. "Certain
riends brought him information in
anfidence, which made it impossible
ar a marriage between them to have
a happy one. He communicatd
this to Mrs. de BoucheL He has
et and would not disclose it to any
he else. He feels it would be unsir
for bim to disclose the names
f hie friends, and thereby shift to
hoxn a responsibility which he alone
'The 'statement uf Mr. Candler's
riends' are utterly unfounded and
intrue and do not believe they are
ven believed by him," Mrs. de Bouhel
said in reply to the statement
Bsued by Mr. Thomson. "At any
ate his first statement in his letters
o me before I came to Atlanta acuae
me of receiving men in my room
luring the reunion here in 1919. This
disproved in the presence of Mr.
handler and his son. Then they
iharged me with pleading with a
raveling salesman to come and see
ne in my rooms at the Piedmont hoel,
and only allowing him to leave me
in his promise to come and see me
n New Orleans."
Mrs. de Bouchel had a two hours'
onference with Mr. Candler and his
ion, Asa, dr., soon after her arrival
n Atlanta Sunday from Chattanooga,
fenn., and Marietta, Ga.
Mrs. de Bouchel stated that she
vould den.and and "would have a reraetion
of slanderous charges against
ler chara' ter and the names of the
>ersons responsible for their dissemirntion
in Atlanta and elsewhere."
She had journeyed to Chattanooga
several days ago, Mrs. de Bouchel
laid, after Mr. Candler had telegraphed
ber at Reno that "circumstances

neni wun you on me zuui.
All arrangements had been cojn
>leted for the wedding to take place

friends had obtained the promise
>f the only Methodist minister in
iteno to remain over from a vacation
n order to perform the ceremony in
compliance with Mr. Candler's
visiles.
On Friday before the date set for
.he wedding she received Mr. Canller'8

to fill the engagement. She

The new alignment of the transportation

find the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen and the Order of Railway
Conductors in one group and the
Brotherhood of Isiconnotive Engineers,
