DIAL CONTINUES FIGHT ON TOLBERT Laurens, Oct. 18.?Senator N. B. Dial was this afternoon advised of the recess appointment of Joseph W. Tolbert as United States marshal for the Western district of South Carolina. Senator Dial has opposed ToL bert'a nomination from the first and he indicated tonight that he was not through with the protest. The senator wired District Judge Watkins protesting the qualifying of Tolbert, citing the fact that the appointee had been convicted in the United States courts of criminal acts and in all probability he is disqualified to take the oath and hold office under Hie constitution. The senator also wired Gen. M. L. Bonham to take such steps as necessary to prevent Tolbert from holding this important post. He pointed out to General Bonham that unless Tolbert has been pardoned, te can not qualify for the office ?Ud the senator says that be does- neLjmow of any such purdcn havftg wSw granted. The conviction of Tolbert referred to was fo- ml leg ed embeszlement and larceny after trust according to the records, says the senator. Senator Dial says that when Toibert's nomination was tent to the senate he objected to confirmation whereupon the case was referred te a subcommittee of three members of the judiciary committee. Charges were filed and the committee was urged to have Tolbert come before it for a hearing of the case, as if wna tlie intention of the senator to cross-examine him before the committee. A demand for a committee proceeding was made several times, but Mr. Tolbert did not appear, although this was urged by the senator. Considering theee grave charges, says Senator Dial, which wore unanswered and unanswerable, he considers it an outrage to the decant people of. South Carolina for the Republican administration to try to force a man of such character on this district and atate. , Continuing, Senator Dial said that if Judge Watkins allows Tolbert to qualify, possibly all his official acts will be illegal. In the event, however, that Tolbert is permitted to qualify, ed when it comes up in the senate for confirmation. Washington, Oct. 19.?Joseph W.

The vote was 186 wHfl against the Chamberlain policy m pledging the party to sustain the AMlition and in favor of a general e)?ttk>n to confirm its course. The raeetHlf was followed by a succession of swfjEwven'cs, which carried the coalition government into ' outer darkness. Andrew Bonar LawpH put on the prime minis rnaom for a short term of dffice. The king summoned him to Buckingham palace late this evening and invited Nitn to form a new government whim Bonar Law will undertake, althoxm the state of his health, which compelled him to withdraw from pubfic life a few months ago, makes H a risky venture. Before Bonar Law can formally accept the premiership^ however, a meeting of the Unionist party must be held to elect a newjeader to carry out the policy to be^scidcd by caucus. 'this meeting wgl be held within a few days when Botffit Law will be chosen. I Between the Uarna club meeting and Bonar Law's vflt to the king it was a seething afteioon of rumors and of group gathmA^s among the political factions.

M ' - mm-. DOUBLE MURDER } STILL A MYSTERY New Brunswick, N. J., Oct. 19 (By the Associated Press).? -The latest investigation into the double slaying of the Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall and Eleanor R. Mills, choir singer, which the authorities have been guarding with such secrecy that they have considered it essential to remove their official headquarters to Bound Brook, N. J., leads directly into the home of "one of the leading families of New Brunhwick," a county official said today. This official declined to permit his identity to be revealed in connection with the statement or the further comment that it was on the promise of this new investigation that Governor Edwards last week granted the county authorities several days grace in which to continue their inquiry without state supervision. The official is known to be very close to the county prosecutor and remains the one local official in any way connected with the case in whom citizens of New Brunswick appear to repose any substantial confidence. "The authorities are in. possession of something with which the public has not been acquainted and which is being jealously guarded," he said. "Wo all sincerely believe that it contains the solution of the crime." Less than 24 hours after it became known that the county prosecutors, through the obtaining of signed state mentu, had built up a theory that the' couple were slain in a vacant shed more than four miles from the spot where their bodies were found, the authorities were ridiculing the story tonight. "We're investigating it, yes." said Prosecutor Bee km an when he was asked about this development, which concerned two autoists who reported hearing screams for help coming from the Darn. "It seems highly improbable, however." Examination of the floor of the building, which was formerly used as e school, is said to have failed to reveal any trace of bloodstains. Asked about the report that two handkerchiefs and combs had been found there, the police were silent. They pointed out that if the murders epiamitted in this shed it would ta reack the Phillips farm, where they were found. ^ The authorities admitted they were attempting to trace the diary of Mrs. Mills, which it is said, she gave to the rector in exch&ge for his. They also said consideration was being given to the possibility that Mrs. Mills' diary in possession of the rector had been a starting point of the crime, and that the establishing of the actual time of its discovery among his papers is con| sidered of great value in the cate. r In tracing this clue the authorities learned today that a man identified as Edward Carpenter, a cousin of Mrs. Hall, was seen to leave th'e TIall home on the morning on which the bodies t were found, carrying a tray, filled ^ with what were said to be papers e Carpenter admitted having been al ? the Hall home, but said that what h? n t Q took away were thiwninister's vest ments, which he said&he carried t* e the church. ^ n 1 * s Services at Hebron i. n There will be all day services a i, Hebron Sunday the 27th.

BRITISH CLAIMS BROAD IN SCOPE Washington, Oct. 19.?Representations /of the British government to the state department in protcetln? against seizure beyond the three mile limit of the Canadian aebnontu- Emerald, held as a liquor smuggling suspect, were of wider scope, it was learned today, than at first known. In addition to dealing with the specific case of the Tmerald, the British communication presented the view that the recent American executive order limiting prohibition enforcement operations to territorial waters should apply to .all previous seizures of British craft, where it had not been established as a matter of fact that-the vessel was sending contraband ashore in her own boat. The American answer to this claim that the government's present policy should have retroactive effect nnd automatically release a considerable number of British vessels seised at smugglers will be deferred until offi cial data as to the Emerald case is at hand. The state department transmitted the British communication to the treasury department with a request for a statement of the facts of the Emerald seizure. A detailed official report from the officers reported for the seizure has not reached the officials and it may be some days before the state department can reply to the British memorandum. The claim for retroactive effect of the administration's announced policy on liquor smuggling seizures presents a possibility of complication, since some of the cases involved ai-e now before the courts. It is understood here that a number of the seizures made prior to President Harding's or der restricting activities to rhe three mile limit of territorial waters do not set up the claim that he ship was in ouch with shore by means of her own boats. The British memorandum contends that such vessels automatically should be released and any property taken aboard them and also held should be returned. What legal grounds such action might establish far subsequent damage claims against the Antesicaa government by owners of craft which had been seized and released, no officials here cared to diaca?. American laws and Americas interpretation of international law is in -process of court edtermination and u [.controlling decision may be handec | down before the questions raised bj i the British protest in the Kraerah I case have been threshed out in a dip lcmatlc way.

The jury recommended life imprisonment sb his penalty. The 20 day flight of Browu before posse 111 en, airplanes, automobiles and bloodhounds, and his subsequent capture June 17, last, 02 miles north of Medicine Bow, Wyo., was one of the greatest man hunts in the annals of Nebraska's history. The flight and Bearch began Msy 28, when Sheriff Mike Clark of Dour, las county and deputies found two women in chains in Brown's shack near Benson, a suburb, after Harry E. Boyd, who had also had been chained, escaped and telephoned to the sheriff's office. & The two women told officers that while they were waiting for a street tar Saturday evening, May 27, Brown drove up in an automobile, and of fered to take them to a nearby park where they were going. The women accepted and said Brown drove past the park and forced them to accompany him to his shack. When they arirved at his shack, the women said, Brown fastened them in chains, put them in a hole under the shack und attacked them. They said they remained in the hole throughout Saturday night. Sunday morning, they said. Brown brought them from the hole and put them in a the loft. Near noon on Sunday, one of the wo men saw Boyd working in a field nearby and signalled to him. When Boyd canto he was captured and chained with the two women. Brown then left the shack and Boyd released himself Sunday evening and telephoned the sheriff.
