LONDON. Oct. y. 1920 a. m
When Premier Asquith returns TO the
House OF Commons tomorrow he Will
be asked by AMMAN Bryce whether
unofficial exchanges of views have
been carried on between Berlin and
London with the. possible object OF
the conclusion of an early peace and
whether inquiries of similar nature
have been made by official represen-
tatives of any neutral power.
Mr.. Asquith also viii be asked
whether he still adheres TO the dec
laration in his Guildhall speech that
Great Britain should not sheathe her
sword until the freedom. of Europe

Another of the many questions 20
be addressed TO the premier is Wheth-
er "in view of the defiance of inter

FACING DEATH,

FROM MACHINE
Presence of Mind and Physical
Strength Saves Life of
Charles Walters.

Presence of mind and sufficient ply
sical strength TO tear himself lose
from his clothes as he was being
drawn into press on which his
jumper had caught. saved the life of
Charles Walters. of 81 Horatio street.
this morning in the Hay Foundry and
Iron Works, Plum Point lane. AS it
was, he sustained fracture of both
bones in the left forearm and con-
fused wounds on his chest and arms.
He was brought to st. James's Hos
pital. where his wounds were dressed
by DR.. l.. a. Canili.
Walters was working on drill
press when his jumper was caught in
the spindle and started to wind up.
He was drawn to the machine, but
had presence of mind enough to pull
back. causing his jumper and shirt to
be torn from his body
After his wounds had been dressed.
Walters was able TO return to his
hcme.
Patrick Kiley, who was working "a +:
the machine adjoining that operated
by Walters, saw his friends plight
and attempted to pull the switch to
stop the machine. Walters had just
succeeded in freeing himself when
Kiley had stopped the machine.
The force of the drill pres drew
Walters from the floor and was fairly
tying him into a knot, as his jumper
was being wound around the spindle.
withstanding the severe pain
which Walters was suffering, he kept

Burke's Trip to Pacific.

TRENTON, Oct. 27.-The attitude
of State Comptroller Edward /. Ed
wardss department toward the Civil
Service Commission is spite work, ac-
cording to Civil Service Commissioner
Edward II. Wright, of Newark. Mr..
Wright was witness today before
the Hammond legislative committee,
which is probing the civil service law.
The sessions of the committee were
resumed this forenoon and Commits
sioners Wright and Alexander r.
E'ordyce, jr., of West orange, were
witnesses. Mr.. Wright testified that
the Civil Service Commission has en-
countered opposition in securing APP
proval of acquisitions. lie also said
the commission bin. which had to be
approved by the comptroller, had
been held up unnecessarily.
The probe today again turned to the
appointment of John A. Smith of
Camden, as State House custodian.
Mr.. Wright testified that at the
suggestion of Commissioner Frank
Hague, of Jersey City. a luncheon
was arranged at which Comptroller
Edwards was present. Mr. Edwards
produced an opinion from the attor-
ney- generals Office to the effect that
Mr.. Smith could be appointed custo-
dian without a civil service eXami-
nation. Mr.. Wright could not tell
whether the opinion Mr.. Edwards had
on that occasion was the one given
to the State House Commission later.
The luncheon was arranged to pro-
mote a more friendly spirit between
the Civil Service Commission and the
State comptroller's office.
Referring to the antagonistic atti-
tude of the comptroller toward the
Civil Service Commission as a body.
Commissioner Wright said George II
Burke, of Paterson, the last man APP
pointed to the commission, was per-
mitted to go to San Francisco as the
representative of the Civil Service
Commission at a civil service confer
ence there.
Mr. Wright gave the impression that
it would have been impossible for
himself or Colonel Fordyce to have
the comptroller approve requisition
for either gentleman TO take the trip
across the continent.
Colonel Fordyce on the stand today
reiterated that he had agreed with
Governor Fielder to abide by an
opinion of the attorney-g general
which was to be secured because the

bearing the British note. Kirk sailed
from New York last Sunday The note
was returned by President Wilson TO
the state department last Saturday
