CBy Associated Pressl

Chicago, Oct. Id. Ogden Ar
mour and George E. Marcy, presi-
dent of the Armour Grain company
principal witnesses yesterday before
the federal trade commission in its
inquiry of trading in grain futures,
were in conference with attorneys to-
day to determine what extent they
will reveal details of their grain
transactions when they appear be-
fore the commission tomorrow.
Declining yesterday to disclose the
intimate details of their speculations,
Mr.. Armour and Mr.. Marcy agreed
to tell the commission tomorrow
whether they would furnish all the
dates and figures of their trades re-
quested by the federal inquiry board,
Mr.. Armour characterized himself
as Casual trader" in the grain
market. He denied that Armour q
Co., the packing house, was interest
ed in any grain deals in which he
participated.
In his preliminary testimony Mr..
Armour said some of his grain trans
actions were handled by the Armour
Grain company and some by brokers
whose names he declined to reveal.
He declared that he followed the
grain market only casually and did
not receive daily reports from the
Armour Grain company with whose
business he said he was not suttl-
acquainted to answer some
of the questions put to him.
Both Mr.. Armour and Mr.. Marcy
defended the board of trade as nee
essary medium through which the
farmer finds a sure and constant
market for his grain.

ALABAMA SCHOOLS
ADOPTED FLORIDA
PLAN? MODELS NOW
Prominent Educator Is
Pointing Them Out as
Very Best
ny Associated Pressl

Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 12.-Montgom
cry county, Alabama, schools were
extolled and made a national model
for other states with rural school
problems by Seebulon Judd, dean of
the school of education of Alabama
Polly Tech institute at Auburn, Ala,
speaking today before the Nebraska
State Teachers association.
Montgomery county's transforma-
ton had been achieved in the last
five years, DR.. Judd said, and follow
ed enactment by the Alabama legis-
lature of 1915 of new school laws.
Among the most significant of
these laws were the county unit
school administration act, the pro-
posed amendment to the constitution
which has just been ratified by the
people and the provision for pro-
fessional basis for the certification
of teachers, he said.
Forty-seven schools, housed mostly
in dilapidated buildings, abandoned
churches and stores, in five years
have been succeeded by fifteen mod
ern one-story type buildings con-
structed with the most intelligent
and scrupulous regard for every
school need, equipped with auditori-
ums, libraries, stages, pianos, thirty
two motor buses to transport pupils,
a complete system of instruction and
with ninety-six teachers properly
trained and competent buildings,
motor trucks and equipment repre-
sent an outlay of $75O,OOO," he said.
The old system of local school ad-
was succeeded by the
county unit system wit h a county
board, whose members serve without
pay, the speaker said. Under the
teachers certification act the state
board of education has ruled that
of all teachers in pub
lie four-year high schools must be
graduates of standard colleges, and
lnder the constitutional amendment
Of 1915, the financial burden of
5hree-mill state tax, three-mill
county tax and three-mill mumcip-
al, school or district tax has been
equalized.

New Brunswick Police
Have New Clue to
Follow Up
BLOOD SPOTS ON BLADE
May Have Been the One
Used to Cut Mrs. Mills
Throat
IBy Associated Pressl

New Brunswick, N, j., Oct. 12--
New Jersey officials Investigating
the murder on September IA Of the
Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall, rector Of
the Episcopal church of st. John the
Evangelist, and his choir leader, Mrs.
Eleanor Reinhardt Mills, sought to-
day to identify a potato knife, found
some distance from the spot where
the slain bodies were discovered and
turned over to the local police yester-
day. Detectives considered it posi-
bic that the knife was the one used
in slashing Mrs. Mills throat There
were spots on the blade which miay
have been caused by blood. An anal
ysis is to be made during the day.
Apparently the mystery was just
as far from solution today as before
the arrest of Clifford Hayes, youth
held on the statement by Raymond
Schneider, who reported the finding
of the bodies two days after the rec
tor and Mrs. Mills disappeared.
Schneider charges that Hayes shot
the pair, thinking them Nicholas
BANNER, and his daughter Pearl, both
of whom are being held in Jail, Sch
neider also is under arrest as a ma
terial witness. Possibility that Gov
ernor Edwards may send the attorney
general to New Brunswick to take

Hurrying From Area in

GREEKS STILL DEFIANT
Still Talking of That
They Want Autonomy
in Thrace
fRy Aanociptea Preaal

Paris, Oct. 12-Greece has decided
to sign the Mudania armistice con-
vention and evacuate Thrace, accord
ing to the conditions stipulated in the
document, the French foreign office
was officially informed late today.
Adrianople, Oct. 12.-News of the
conclusion of the armistice at Mu-
dania was received quietly here, a
large part of the population already
having regarded re-entry of the
Turks into Eastern Thrace as newt
able. Talk of resistance is mainly
confined to the army.
Withdrawal of funds from the
banks and liquidation of assets have
been in progress for several days and
will undoubtedly be accelerated by
the knowledge that the Turkish civil
authorities will be in charge forty
days after tn earmistice takes effect.
More than thousand families
have left Adrianople for Greece
within the last week, and hte city is
filled with refugees from the vii
lagos. Already the people are leav-
ing as rapidly as possible.
Despite the presence of the allied
sent there from Constantine
pie, the Christian population seems
to believe the allies can
carry out their guarantees of protec-
tion, and repetition of the Smyrna
is feared by many.
The majority of the civilians are
but it is hoped the allied de-
tachments can prevent serious
clashes until after the Turkish gem
darmarie is fully installed.
The Greek army officers still
maintain their attitude of resistance
and their position has been some
what reinforced by the civilian move
ment for an "automous Thrace." The
continued exodus westward indi-
Gates that this movement has no
overwhelming popular support.

Dunn Tells Papers

New York, Oct. 12.-"Shortage of
railroad transportation is so great
and serious tina til is not only limit
ing but will continue to limit pro-
duction and commerce of all kinds"
Samuel o. Dunn, editor of The Rail
way Age, asserted at the annual con-
vention of Associated Business Pa
pers here today.
Almost every other condition is
favorable to an increase of produc-
ton and commerce and revival of
prosperity, he declared. The present
transportation situation was aggrav-
ated, but not created by the coal and
railway shopmen's strike, Mr.. Dunn
said. The condition is due mainly,
he added, to great industrial re-
vival and commercial activity and to
e long decline in the expansion of
railroads.
