HA[L-|N|LLS TRIAL
HELD UP WAITING
FOR NEW SHERIFF
Prosecutor Refuses to Discuss
Details of Evidence Due
Within Week.

Somerville, n. j., Nov. 1.-THE
date fixed Monday for the presenta
ton of evidence in the Halls@Mills
murder mystery to the Somerset coun-
ty grand jury was postponed again
Monday night.
Deputy Chief Prosecutor Mott, chief
investigator of the Staying of the Rev.
Edward Wheeler Hall and Mrs. Elean-
or r.. Mills, announced Monday night
that it could not be held Thursday.
Further postponement was necessary,
he said, because new sheriff takes
office Tuesday and will have to fa-
milarize himself with the case before
anything more can be done. The new
sheriff, he said, probably will not be
ready before Monday.
He refused to go into details con
cerning the testimony to be presented
or the witnesses to be called.
Mrs. Hall Monday addressed letters
to Mr.. Mott and Foreman Glib of the
grand jury declaring her innocence of
any participation in the double Staying
and asking that she be permitted to
tell her story before the investigating
body. The letters said she was willing
to sign waiver of immunity before
she testified.

big house committee heads in the new
congress unless the seniority rule is
abrogated.
All told, there are 60 standing COM

In the present house, with solid

The far west will hold on to several
important committees including imni

Minnesota last week lost heads of
the judiciary and post office. holding

beginning to clamor for greater rep

Some of the committees were shot
to pieces. The committee on exposi-

cyclone had struck it, eight of the 10
republicans being off after March 4.

United States decided Monday in its
first construction of federal statutes

was the first delivered by Justice Suth-

was handed down in a case brought by
Takao Ozawa, who in 1914 applied for
citizenship in Hawaii.
The ruling is expected to attract
wide attention not only in the United
States but abroad, notwithstanding the
failure of the court to make any ref
erence TO its diplomatic significance.
The case has been long pending in the
supreme court and last term, when

Paris, Nov. 13.-The reparations
commission at s p. m, after three
hours of discussion of the situation of
Germany financially and economically
as viewed during the commission's re-
cent visit ito Berlin, found itself just
as far from agreement as when the
session began. The American unoffi
cial representatives, Roland W. Boy
den and Colonel James A. Logan Jr.,
participated in the session.
A deadlock in the commission again
seems imminent. Although it is relia-
bly, reported that NJ. Barthou, the
chairman, has been favorably i'm
pressed with the proposed solution
contained in the report of the foreign
experts who recently went to Berlin
to study the situation. 1t is stated
that Premier Poincare insists upon the
imposition upon Germany of rigid guar
antees before everything else.

DECLINES REVIEW

The supreme court declined Monday
TO review an unusual ease from the
Philippines involving conviction of 77
former members of the Philippine con
stabulary on charges OF attacking the
island police, for which eleven non
commissioned officers were sentenced
to life Imprisonment in chains and 66
privates to seven years Imprisonment
in chains. Appeal of the Philippine
supreme court changed the sentence of
the n-commissioned officers TO death.
and of the remainder to life imprison-
ment in chains.
It was contended on behalf of the
prisoners that the action of the Phil
ippine supreme court in increasing the
penalties violated ''due process by
law" by putting them twice in jeopardy
of punishment for the ssune offense
and that the sentence to serve in
chains was cruel and unusual punish
ment.

TURKS CONFIDENT

Lausanne Nov 13.-The delegates
of the Turkish nationalists who have
Just come to Lausanne for the confer
ence, present mood wholly different
than that of the crushed representa-
tives of the sultan who begged for
mercy when the treaty of Seyres was
drafted three years ago. Their leader,
Ismet Pasha, boasts of support from
the Russian soviets and alludes to the
uncertainty which new governments
in England and Italy have given to the
solidarity of the entente.
Turkey demands merely that it be
dealt with as n government founded as
other responsible governments are and
that it be allowed to enjoy the same
rights in its international relations.
This. in brief, was the statement made
Monday TO representatives of the
worlds press by General Ismet Pasha,
head of the Turkish delegation. when
asked what Turkeys demand will be
in the Near East conference here.
Ismet also took occasion to deny the
reported wholesale atrocities against
the Greeks, and said there had been
Turkish nationalists in the eyes of the
western world. The Turks he said,
protected women and children in their
movement against Smyrna and avoided
loss of life as far as possible during
their operations.
Mustapha Kemal Pasha certainly
seems well entt4 ched in Europe to-
day. His delegates to the Lausanne
conference are confident of being
granted their demand that Turkey
shall be relieved of the capitulations.
which are etxra territorial rights
granted to foreigners in Turkey. They

of Turkey would come nearer to eff

U. S. DENIES RuMoRs

Washington, Nov. 13.-The impress
sion apparently prevailing in Constan-
tinople reflected in Sundays news
dispatches that the United States has
sent new note to Europe regarding
the Near East peace settlement was
made at the state department Monday
to be based on misunderstanding of the
facts.
Department officials said the only
American note on the subject which is
in hands of Rear Admiral Bristol,
American commissioner at CONSTANT
nople, is copy, of the statement of
the American position sent on October
"a in the form of an aide memoir to
Ambassadors Harvey, Herrick and
Child.
Admiral Bristol, IN common with
diplomatic representatives of the gov
ernment at other capitals, has au-
thority to make use of his copy of the
"aide memoir and it is assumed he
has done SO to correct misapprehen-
sion as to American views.
In the original publication of the
American communication in Europe
the points emphasized by Secretary
Hughes include the declarations re-
garding the capitulations and indem-
nifty were omitted. At about the same
time garbled publication is said here
to have been made abroad with Secre-
tary Hughes remarks at Boston deal
ing with the American attitude on
Near Eastern questions.
1t is believed in Washington that
these incomplete accounts purporting
to give American viewpoints have been
in circulation and that Admiral Bristol
Las made use of his discretionary au
thority to publish a correct text of
the "aide memoir" and perhaps to
hand copy of it to the Kemaiist au
thorities.
There is no question but that the de-
mand of the Turkish nationalists for
abolition of the regime of capitulations
is viewed with concern in Washing
ton, although state department offic
ials have been reticent to discuss the
complex and difficult situation in which
the allied governments find themselves
in their efforts to work out peaceful
solution at Lausanne.
