ANOTHER BIG HOUSE.
Greeted "Darktown Minstrels" Under
Legion Auspices.

The second and final presentation OF
'sDarktown Minstrels" at the opera
house last evening under the auspices
Of the Barre Legion drew even q iarg-
er and more enthusiastic audience than
did the first performance Monday
night, and the members OF the cast
showed their appreciation by keeping
the audience eonvulsed with laughter
from the opening comedy sketch, "a
Busy Day in Oskosh,v until the finale,
$50 Long" by the entire company.
A number of attractive speciality
acts, among which were solos by James
Bennett, Charles Gibbons, Douglas In
glis and Others, and dances by Clair
Bennett and Dorothy Lander served
to charm the audience and take their
minds from the humorous side of the
show for few moments, only to be
brought back again by such numbers
as Oshkosh, B'gosh," sung by Charles
Gibbons, and Putin on Grammar
in the Old Town Hail. by Messrs.
Dowers, Gibbons, Inglis and Ingram.
The second part of the performance,
minstrel show. consisted Of snappy
songs and dances interspersed by jokes,
local and otherwise. Solos by James
Ingram, George Hurley, Paul Giache-
rio, Ralph oliver, William howie and
James Biggs were well received. The
Goddard male quartet was given q
fine reception and was forced to re-
spond to four eneores.
The performance this year was an
unqualified success and much credit
should be given to Mr.. and Mrs. Harry
Il. Gage, who were in charge of the
affair, as well as to the members of
the cast Miss Beatrice Papin, who
acted as pianist for the production,
also deserves much credit, and much
Of the success Of the show can be att
tributed to her.

FAILURE TO IVDICT
CAUSES CONFUSION
There Is Doubt Whether the Hall-Mills
Case Will Be Investigated Further
Or Be Allowed to Drop.

New Brunswick. N. j., Nov. 20 lBy
the Associated Press lis investiga-
tion of the HalI-Mills murder case to
be rushed along or IL the inquiry to
be dropped, at least for the present :
This question to-day apparently
hung on conference which Attorney
General McCran has indicated he will
hold with special Deputy Attorney
General Wilbur A. Mott, who yester-
day failed to obtain from the Somer-
set county grand jury in Somerville in
dictment Of three persons, whom the
state indicated it believed responsible
for the shooting Of Rev. Edward
Wheeler Hall and Mrs. Eleanor X.
Mills Detectives and state troopers in
dicated to-day that they were with
out orders. Mr.. Mott, after the jury
filed out, deciding to lay the matter
over, expressed himself as being in a
state of suspended animation.
Many residents of Someryille, who
have contended that the double slay-
ing after all was not half as much
the affair Of Somerset county as of
Middlesex, in which the slain pair had
resided, indicated that they would be
content il the case were allowed to
drop.
In New Brunswick, however. there
was evident a strong disinclination 10
permit the case to fall into the class
of unsolved crimes.
Persons who wish TO investigation
continued, pointed to the fact that
Mrs. Jane Gibson, hailed by the slate
az its star witness, still was under
close observation at her pig farm.
This, they speculated, indicated that
the inquiry was to be pushed further.
The only expression coming frcrn
the home Of Mrs. Frances Noel Hall.
widow of the slain rector, was uttered
by her lawyer, Timothy n. Pfeiffer He
said he sincerely hoped the authorizes
would continue their search for the
guilty.
Florence North, attorney for Char
lotte Mills, daughter of the slain choir
singer, contributed the cryptic remark
that refusal of the grand jury to re-
turn an indictment was no surprise 20
her. She added that she would turn
over to the authorities important evil
dente in her possession.
Miss North has chung to the theory
that the murdered pair we're kidnapped

AMERICAN EVASION or

ABOUT ARMS HZVTED AT

PLAN TO ENTER

Cablegram Sent By Premier Poincare
to Ambassador Jusserand
Declares.

Washington, d. c., Nov. 29.-Am-
bassador Jusserand received q cable
gram to-day from Premier Poincare
directing him to state that there was
not the slightest foundation in fact
for the report that the French gov
ernment was contemplating a forcible
entry into the Ruhr.
Paris, Nov. 20 (By the Associated
Press The French ministerial pol
icy toward Germany, as Incorporated
in the plan for occupation of the Ruhr
industrial district and control Of the
Rhineland, appears to be based upon
three primary IDEAS;
First, the government must satisfy
the French people now that the Ger
man obligations toward France are
not to be allowed to drift indefinitely
without government action.
Second, the French government, by
its patience and its repeated delays,
will show Great Britain and America
and neutral countries that it has not
acted hastily or imperialistieally.
Third. that if during the next six
or eight weeks there should be no
prospect of any workable plans Of
being adopted by Germany
alone or with the assistance of allied
or neutral countries, then France will
be compelled to act.
The cabinet examined the plan at
its meeting yesterday, discussed it,
and generally approved of it, but did
not take any action on it for the rea-
son it was explained, that there is no
to act on the plan inn
Inquiries in various quarters to-day
Indicated that the utterances OF the
French press yesterday with regard TO
cabinet action on the plan were based
upon information derived from mem
bers Of the government and which it
was designed should be published to
reassure the French public that repara-
tions were not being neglected. The
adverse effect abroad upon opinion and
upon foreign exchange, however, APP
pears to have caused the issuance of
the governments general denial of the
exactness Of the details Of the plan.

CALL FOR DRY
ENFORCEMENT
Government Declares The
Country's Morale Is
Threatened
SPEEDY TRIALS
RECOMMENDED
Closer Cooperation in
Carrying Out Law Is
Urged

Washington, d. c., Nov. 20 lBy the
Associated Press) Attention Of fed
eral authorities throughout the coun'
try has been officially called to the ne
cessity of cooperating closely with
prohibition enforcement agents with q
view to curbing the extensive viola
tions Of the statutes.
Federal attorneys have been in
structed to push all pending liquor
cases and to suggest, when proper, the
imposition Of the heaviest penalties on
conviction. Their attention was spc-
officially called to reports that some
cereal beverage manufacturers were
marketing product Of illegal alco-
holic content.
No suggestion was made in the OIL
cial instructions that the prohibition
enforcement machinery had failed to
adequately handle its tasks. The or
der to federal attorneys, on the con-
trary, was said to have been drawn
with view of enlisting their cooper
alton in a campaign to insure general
respect for all laws.
1t has long been the conviction Of
some government officials that daa-
ger to be faced in liquor violations was
the certainty that they would engender
in an element of the population a lack
Of respect for other laws and might
lead eventually to noticeable decay

Among the suggestions as TO meth
ods of cooperation, federal attorneys
were instructed to expedite all liquor
cases ON their dockets and were adj
