Ed- s ward Wheeler Hall and Mrs. Eleanor ? Rhinehart Mills over to state au- 0: thoritiee, it was learned tonight, has N followed promises by the Middlesex m and Somerset county authorities that g definite action, culminating in an ar- g rest, will he taken within the next 24 tl hours. n Citizens of New Bruuswick, who u have been most caustic in their criti- e| cism of the handling of the entire <j( case, which has resulted in several in stances of open hostility, have appar- g ently accepted the promisee in good a faith and speak optimistically- tonight jH of early paction, which will go far to- ??< ward clearing the mystery surround- w , tng the double slaying. n A close race, having for its goal an p arrest which will stand the inveeti- ni (ration of the grand jury, has developed between the county authorities w and the three state troopers who have V( been working independently on the f( case, at the direction of Governor Ed- n wards. 3 The county prosecutors of Middle- ^ sex and Somerset counties declined to n Intimate the trend of their latest in- j veatigation or what newly discovered j-, evidence had led them with surpris- v, ing swiftness from a point of view cj that they would welcome any and all aid which the state could give, around p to the conviction that the situation -- - i 1.1?A *?ii ii_t-A r,t nao iwwy a^aiu ttau iimt XUU Ugflli ^ on the case was only a matter of . hours. . The latest clues brought in to the ^ case, the New Brunswick police said tonight, were two handkerchiefs found, on the Phillips farm on the Sunday following the discovery of the .( two bodies. The authorities refused to divulge the identity of the person who . has turned the handkerchiefs over to >c the poliee. One of them is said to be a man's large white linen hand-' kerchief. It had no identifying * marks. The second was smaller, lace Cl trimmed, and bore the initial "S." Charges of .wire tapping made by Mrs. Hall, widow of the slain rector, 5 to the county prosecutors and Ralph *' ** * iiii *i 'vi ^Vti^s church who was questioned two ei weeks ago by the police in their ef- " forts to establish the time of the donble shooting, are being investigated p by the police. p The ten letters which Charlotte ^ Mills, daughter of the slain woman, 8 announced through her attorney were f' in her possession and which she said 11 proved that the friendship between B her mother and the rector was only t( "Platonic," are dated from Isleford, Maine, and bear dates of last August, 8 It became known today. K "The authorities have not seen 11 these letters," said Julius Barun, private detective retained by Charlotte, el "and we do not intend to disclose their contents now. We are holding w them until the proper time, when we k expect to produce them to some pur. T pose." & The ten letters, it has been learned d frqm other sources, however, contain " In detail the plans for a tour of Eu- " rope and later the Orient by Mr. Hall ' and Mrs. Mills. One of the letters deals frankly with arrangements, it d is said, for Mrs. Mills to live in an Episcopal home while waiting for the rector to obtain a divorce. tn Germany, the letters show, the couple wanted to study art. Then they planned to devote themselves to t travel. Most of the letters said to ' have been written by the rector to a Mrs. Mills bears the salutation: MMy Dear Gypsy.* This salutation*? C "Gypsy"?has a direct bearing on one of the main clues of the case, police believe. When the rector was murdered he was wearing a gold tie clasp, c which it is said was given to him by C the choir singer. It bore the single f initial "G* - JJ The county prosecutors, it was D leaned tonight, have summoned Hen- c ry Stevens, a brother of Mrs. Hall, to . Mew Brunswick for questioning. The brother mitkes his home in Lavallette. The Somerset county authorities In searching the countryside for wit- P nesses, said tonight they had found J living on. a little rocky farm across g. from the Phillips place a peasant wo- n man who came from the south of Eu- S rope several years ago and on the _ death of relatives in New Brunswick 1 moved on the farm, which she began to hag under a heavy mortgage.

I life,,; FRENCH POLICY 1 PREVENTED WAR Paris, Oct. 16 (By the Associated 'ress).?It was the pacific policy of tb 'ranee combined with the sincere de- af ire of Mustapha Kemal Pasha to m void war, and not the British display wi ( force, which prevented war in the mi fear East, a war which would have po oon assumed the proportion of the ta reat world conflict, M. Franklin- pe ouillon, the special French envoy at co le recent Mudania conference, told D< early a hundred newspaper men of 5 nations, who gathered at the for- m< ign office tonight to hear the French ta slegate tell about his mission. toi "It Has been said in England that Pa le British fleet and British troops Mi lone halted the victorious Kemal- R< its, ' said M. Franklin-Bouillon, is The truth is that every time force Ci as used :.nd the British troops were enforced negotihtions with Muata- to ha Kemal Pasha became increasing en lore difficult. bil "The peaceful efforts of France al- wl ays intervened just in time to pre- th< snt open warfare, and had it not been jm >r France, peace would not have been mi ?alized. In this connection I wish bit > pay tribute to the consistent strug- th le the Turkish commander waged to laintain peaceful relations with the de Hies. He accomplished this in the ice of a vigorous army, which was su ithin but 40 kilometers of their ati jpital, Constantinople." Up M. Franklin-Bouillon charged the ritish general staff at Constanti- na ople had issued a false communique bh illing of the breakdown of the Muaniu conference because of the Turk- be th demand for immediate occupation be f Thrace. up "This was all the news that the as orld had of the Mudania conference ]jc >r 48 hours and essentially, war ex- aj ted during that period," said the pa rench envoy. "When General Har- 8t) igton heard of this communique he ]a, as astonished and said he had aulorized no such communication. It tb 'as such things as this we had to intend with in trying to make peaco. pr "The breakdown of all forms of su smmunication, including the wire ?88, left the Mudania conference in W) uspense for nearly three days. Why en specially at a time when the dancer au as as great if not greater than in ^ le fateful days of 1914. During that an eriod 160,000 Turks, perfectly equip- ^ ed and flushed with victory, were ithin march of a day or two of Con- ce tantinople, while 160,000 more, ^ qiually and ready, were in the second m ne of defense. The arrival of the ^ ritish- reinforcements only served ^ > make them more restless. "In the face of this situation, I ^ ucceeded in inducing Mustapha efl [emal Pasha to withhold these troops j-( ntil an armistice could be concluded. ^ I hold General Harington in great steem, he was a courageous worker or peace, but the other officials cj; rould have acted more wisely if they ^ new more of the situation and of WJ 'urkish psychology. It is only by diking peace, and not war, that a efinite settloment will be worked out l the Near East.

Clemens, Mich., Oct. 18 (By the Associated Press).?Traveling at a greater speed than any human being ever before attained, Lieut. R. L. Maugban, army pilot, today set a new world's airplane speed record by covering a one kilometer course at the rate of 248.6 miles aa hour. The record was made during official government tests of speed planes that participated hi tike national air races at Selfridge field last week and was electrically timed by officers from McCook field. Aeronautical engineers and army and nary officers who witnessed the flight were astounded. The demonstration, (Ihey declared, proved that there was no limit to the speed that might be attained in the air. j . v Lieutenant Maughan made the recj.d breaking flight in the same plane with which he won thO Pulitzer trophy race Saturday, The machine is IcADOO RAPS ON REPUBLICANS Denver, Oct. 16.?In an address in e Denver Municipal auditorium this ternoon William G. McAdoo, forer secretary of the treasury and *r time director of the railroad adInistration, assailed the Harding licy of deflation and the Republican riff bill and concluded with an apal for the election of a Democratic ngress and for the election of the < ?mocratic tickets in all states. "The Republicans have passed the ?st extortionate and indefensible riff bill ever enacted in our hisry," Mr. McAdoo said. "The lyne-Aldrich bill, which destroyed 1 r. Taft politically and brought the ' >publican party to defeat in 1912, | outclassed by the Fordney-Mcimber bill. i "It is estimated the cost of living the American people will be ineased by the Fordney McCumber 11 $4,000,000,000 per annum, of lich only $400,000,000 will go into i e American treasury. The remain- i g $3,600,000,000 will be collected by onopolies, trusts and greedy com- i nations for the special profit of ese favored interests." i Discussing the Harding policy of I flation, Mr. McAdoo declared "no i jre fatuous policy was ever pur- < ed in American history than this tack by one great political party i on prosperity." 1 "It was treated as thougu it was a i tional evil instead of a national 1 sssing," he said. At the same time prosperity was 1 ing destroyed, taxation, which is ) aring down with crushing force on the people, has not been reduced < solemnly promised in the Repub- i an platform. The new iirtfemiationrevenue bill gave no relief to tax- i yers except to less than 1,000 per- i ns and those persons enjoy the rgest incomes in America." When asked if he is a candidate for e presidency, Mr. McAdoo said: "Nothing appeals to me less than a esidential suit or a -presidential ite." During,his speech Mr. McAdoo ; as asked by some one in the audice about the soldiers' bonus. Mr. MeAdoo replied that hm "wwuld . ggest that the average earnings of e favored trusts and monopolies id corporations under the FordneyeCumber tariff bill be ascertained r a three or five year period preding the passage of that law, and at the earnings of these trusts, onopolies and corporations after the tssa^b of the Fordney-McCumber II be ascertained annually; and that i per cent of the amounts earned r them in excess of the average rnings prior to the passage of the jrdney-McCumber bill be devoted to e payment of the soldiers' bonus" He declared that half of these earners should he used to nav the iust aims of those who saved liberty for merica and the world and in this as no additional burdens would be it on the people."

After setting the neW record, Lieutenant M&ughan continued his flight to show that the tremendous pace could be maintained. On fonr laps he was timed at the |jate of 232.22 miles an hour, and M# average for eight laps was 229 miles an hour. Examination of the machine after the flight disclosed that it was in perfect condition and that nothing in the nature of* a "trick" flight figured in the performance. Later Lieutenant Maughan added to the astonishment of pilots and officers on the field by dying approximately one mile with the machine on its side. The feat in reality was a flight without the aid of wings. In other trials during the day the Bpeed record for monoplanes was shattered by one navy apod three army machines.

( sador Geddes. The communication was I in reply to Mr. Hughes' note of June 4 26, setting out difficulties encountered t by American prohibition enforcement t officers in checking the' illicit flow of | intoxicants into the United States. Secretary Hughes made public his t correspondence with the ambassador , without comment. Thore was nothing ( to indicate that any further step to t extend the right of search for Ameri- ( can prohibition officers beyond the { three mile limit was in prospect. Ac- | tion of the cabinet recently in approving the abandonment of such search j presumably because of possible in- | ternational difficulties, coupled with , the British reply of today, appeared j to indicate that operations would con- j tinue to be confined within recognized . territorial waters. The American note dealt partic- i ularly with smuggling operations from Bi-tiish possessions in waters adjacent to the American coast and suggested "methods by which the existing extremely unfortunate conditions might be remedied." Among these was a proposal for (areful supervision of registry and clearance papers granted to suspected vessels and "an international arrangement between the United States and (Ireat Britain under which the authorities of each nation would be authorized to exercise beyond the three mile limit of territorial waters a measure of control over vessels belonging to the other." There was appended an inquiry as to whether the British government was disposed to agree to the recipro< al right of search un to 15 miles from shore which, it was pointed out, would imply no inconvenience to the 1 legitimate trade between Nassau and Halifax, passing at no point within 1 lour leagues of American shores. In reply Ambassador Geddes point- ' cd out that his government had al- ' ) eady taken steps before Mr. Hughes' ance papers to which attention had ' been drawn. These st^.*s had been 1 supplemented since thet. he added, and the British government, he said, ihat measure taken will prove successful in vreventing any breaches in i he local law." With relation to the proposed treaty, however, he said: "His majesty's government have consistently opposed any extension of the limit of territorial waters such as iliat now suggested. They feel that! the outbreak of smuggling which has] led to the proposal can not be regard-, cd as u permanent condition, but ?sj ..ne which will no douut be suppressed by the United States authorities with-j in tne not distant future. ' While, therefore, they are desirous of assisting the United States gov-J emment to the best of their ability in! t.ha suppression of the traffic and in' t he prevention of the abuse of the British flag by those engaged in it, they do not feci that they can properly acquiesce, in order to meet a temporary emergency, in the abandonment of a principle to which they attach great importance."

ARMY ESTIMATES GIVEN BY WEEKS Washington, Oct. 16 (By the Associated Press).?The unshaken opinion of Secretary Weeks and military advisers that the nation's military policy can not be adequately sustain id with a regular army of less than 13,000 officers and 160,000 men was igain laid before President Harding ;oday by the war secretary, who was iccompanied on a visit to the White House by General Pershing. The conference had to do with ea,i mates submitted by the war departiient for the coming year calling for ,otal appropriations of $329,287,580 is compared with current appropria,ions of $240,884,122. The army budget, however, still must be approved >y the director of the budget. The war secretary made it plain ,hat he had not changed in his be ief that the present army of 12,000 jfficers and 120,000 men could not 'ullill all of the missions -escribed ay the rational defense k ' The lew estimates do not provide for an ncrease in the regular above figures, rnt Mr. Weeks has officially expressed the judgment of the war departnent that only the most urgent rea10ns for national economy would warrant continuing the army at reduced tize. The principal item in the estimates iubmitted comes under "support of ;he regular army" at $212,707,379, as compared with $223,411,512 for the current year. Included in that item, lowever, is the pay, subsistence and clothing for all branches of the army, including the National Guard, or eanized reserves, reserve officers' training corps and other arms of the service, and the overhead expense oi' ill posts, camps, schools, hospitals, and other portions of the military ! nut iihm! ioint.lv. hv reirulars. iruardsmen and reservists. The estimates provided for maintenance of the National Guard and various training corps at the expense if the regular establishment in order with the budget figures. For the guard, a total of $33,910,022 is proposed against $25,815,000 this year; for the organized reserves, $2,628,109 with as exact comparable figure; for fche reserve n?oe*eV.i*aaai*?k.'0?rpa, (-1,401,000 as compared to $3,100,100 this year; for civilian military training camps, $2,972,150 as compared with $1,800,000. These figures with the smaller items make up a military budget for next year of $259,428,175 as compared to $257,356,681 this year. This non-military items, including river and harbor work, reaches a total of $65,890,375 as compared to $79,736.406 in current appropriations. The National Guard appropriation estimate is based on the computation that the guard will have an average strength of 238,000 during the next fiscal year. This would have required expenditures of $-17,592,990 and it was thus found necessary to cut the provision so that allowances were made for an average force of 215,000 men The estimates submitted for the organized reserves provides three months training for 150 officers and 15 days training for 15,000 officer with no provision for enlisted personnel of the reserves. For the re serve officers' training corps, composed of 225 institutions wiht an enrollment of 96,000 students, increased funds were necessary owing to increased enrollment but no provision was made for additional educational institutions to be added to the lists. Civilian military training camps would receive funds sufficient to train 3-S.000 men next summer, funds not being available to provide for the 50,000 men the department had planned to train next year.

LIQUOR BATTLE BEGINS IN COURT New York, Oct. 16.?The legal bat I tie to determine the right of foreign owned ships to enter ports in thvUnited States with liquor aboard wa^ opened tonight with the issuing by United States District Attorney Hay ward of a reply to the bills in equity brought by five foreign steamship companies to restrain enforcement or the recent ruling preventing the carrying of liquor on vessels entering American ports. The reply make in the main four contentions that the district court, before which many cases are to be heard tomorrow, has no jurisdiction ii< the matter, that suits are really u'^ainst the United States government; that they do not show that the government has consented to be sued and that* they do not disclose any basis for an action in equity. Upon these grounds the defense of Secretary Mellon, Henry C. Stuart, V. acting collector of the customs for the port of New York, and Ralph A. Pay, federal prohibition director for the state < f New York, who are made defendants in the suits brought by the companies, will be built in court tomorrow. Mr. Hayward, who is acting for Secretary Mellon in the reply, answers specifically the ground upon which the requests for injunctions me based. As to the difficulty which the foreign steamship companies state they would suffer by reason of laws com polling them to furnish wines to members of the crew, District Attorney liayward says the payment of highsi ' aires would recompense crews for i.ic lack of such stimulants. Regarding the loss of the profit h ade by the foreign ships in the sale of liquor, Mr. Hayward claims that this loss is the only one which the companies will suffer under a strict adherence to the new ruling. To the charge of the complaining s earn.ship companies that the attorney general's ruling is a misinterpretation of the Volstead act, the reply states: "If the complainants are correct in . their construction of the national prohibition *ct, the implications involved are exceedingly serious and the claim of the complainants, if allowed would c-irry with it as a necessary corrollary, the right of a^v ship to transI ort lienor within the territorial waters of the United States."
