NEW BRUNSWICK, Sept. 90
Members of the New Jersey state
police were here today to cooperate
with county authorities trying 10
trace the slayers of the Kew. Ed
ward w. Hall, rector of the Eplsco-
pal church of st. John the Evangel-
ist and his ir-leader, Mrs. Elea-
nor Reinhardt Mills.
Governor Edwards ordered Col. IL.
Norman Schwarzkopf, superinten-
dent of the state police, to rush de-
tectives from his staff to assist IN
the investigation. County authorl-
ties expressed determination to ex-
hume the body of the rector in order
that an autopsy may be performed:
The Somerset county board Oh
freeholders has authorized reward
of $1,000 for the apprehension ana
conviction of the slayers. The bodies
were found just. across the line from
Middlesex county in Somerset anu
the reward is payable only IL 1t Is
nroven the crime was committed in
that county.
Previously the Middiesex county
officials had offered a similar re-
ward under the same conditions.
Considerable significance was he
ing attached today to the three
tears found in the left shoulder OF
Rev. Mr.. Halls coat. The autopsy
yesterday upon the body of Mrs;
Mills showed that her throat had
been cut. The belief was expressed
today that the murderer or person
accompanying the murderer had at
tackled Mrs. Mills with a knife and
Rev. Mr.. Hall in attempting to res
cue the woman had his coat slashed
three times. The possibility Is also
expressed that the assailant. upon
finding that the rector was putting
Up too strong a fight, drew a revoi-
yer and shot both Rev. Mr.. Hall
and Mrs. Mills.
The absence of any large amount
Of blood at the spot where the
bodies were discovered led to the
belief that the murder was not com
mitted at that exact spot but that
the bodies were carried there after
the assault had been made. There
was also some talk of the clothes

closing the door to a pacific settle

The note of Kemal demands the
retirement of all the British troops
from the Asiatic side of the straits.
as the French and Italians have
done and says in case of acquiesence
he will withdraw the Nationalist
forces slightly" from the neutral
zone.
1t also demands the cessation of
what are termed the arbitrary
measures of the British authorities
in Constantinople in dealing with
the Turkish population and SOL
emn undertaking that no Greek ves-
sci shall be permitted to pass the
Dardanelles. 1t concludes with a
protest against the destruction OF
Turkish war material in the straits.
The note of Kemal was in reply
to tMe last written communication

Committee.)
SMYRNA Bay, Thursday, Sep. 2s.
Seventeen steamers placed at the
disposal of the American relief COM
mittee by the Greek authorities are
here endeavoring to complete the
evacuation of 100000 refugees by
September 80, the time limit fixed
by the Turks. The shore is crowd
ed with the completely demoralized
population, encircled by Turkish SOL
f.iers, who are constantly firing rif-
les. N1M'
There is continuous moaning and
weeping by the helpless women and
children. The steamers along the
railroad piers are taking aboard the
refuges. All are searched and rob-
bed by Turkish soldiers, who only
allow aged and children to pass.
Seven corpses are lying on the
piers, the remains of persons struck
by the blunt end of rifles.
The town appears utterly aban-
doned. It is charged that many
Christian girls were violated by the
Turks. The Armenians claim that
nearly the whole of their population
has been massacred.
