Especial to The Times)
 Stamford, Sept Stirred by the gambling house tragedy of early Sun day morning in which Bernard Kill kelly was murdered in the notorious Dewey Social Club rooms, the Stam- ford public is demanding a rigid in- vestigation of the murder and the activities of the club in past years.
 A sensation was contributed to the case today when a story gained cir- culation that an alleged official of the city of Stamford had given assistance to an alleged member of the gambling syndicate to remove gambling para house, and that the fire department automobile was used. The rumors are the result of the failure of the police department to seize any evil dence of gambling in the place to date, and also to the unsatisfactory and evasive attitude of Police Chief Brennan in the case.

But the Far East is not moving toward

CONFERENCE
WILL NOT FAIL,
If popular predictions are fulfilled and
the conference gets no further than a
mere statement of principles with their
application postponed to some later date.
it would have to be written down as
very largely failure. Personally, l do
not believe that will happen. At any
rate the question of the leased territories
must he faced.

1t really affects the conference very little.

indignant about Frances treaty with the
Turks as about anything the French pre-
mier said at Washington.-Copy 1921
