PLANNED
by DEAD COUPLE, IS
NEW DOPE ADVANCED
Pastor Had Left His Papers and Records So New
Minister Could Take Up Work With
Little Difficulty

New Brunswick, N. j., Sept. 25.-
Several clues were found Monday by
detectives investigating the double
shooting of the Rev. Edward Wheeler
Hall, rector of the church of st. John
the Evangelist, and Mrs. James Mills,
wife of the sexton, to support the new
theory that the couple intended to
elope to the Orient.
The fate which the rector and the
leader of his choir shared, prosecutors
pointed out, might have been hastened
by rumors which seemed to have been
circulated freely among certain mem
bers of the congregation, that plans of
the two to leave New Brunswick had
reached a stage of action.
Fixed for New Pastor
All his papers and effects had been
placed in such order by the slain rec
tor, detectives said they learned, that
the work of the pastorate could be
undertaken by a successor with the
least possible difficulty. The first ink
ling received by the authorities of an
intended elopement came when Prose
cutor Stricken of Middlesex was in

kEMAL WILL COME
To TERMS, BELIEF
Of BRITISH CHIEFS
Relief Expressed That Tact of
CurzOn Has Caused Crisis
to Pass.

London, Sept. 25.-(By The Asso-
ciated Press )-Smiles which wreathed
Lord Curzon's face as he departed
from the prime minister's official resi-
dence in Downing street Monday after
noon after making detailed report to
the cabinet of his Paris mission, typi-
fled the general easing up of the tense
ness of the near east situation as
viewed from the British capitol.
Everywhere in official circles there
are expressions of belief that the war
crisis of last week has been replaced
by diplomacy with such an old hand
as Curzon directing British policy, and
although there is no word that the
allied note has yet been delivered to
Mustapha Kemal Pasha, the nationalist
leader, it is intimated that his refusal
to come TO terms is extremely I'M
likely.
The view is held in authoritative
allied circles that immediate accep-
tance would be against Turkish trad
ing propensities" 1t is said that the
Turk in bargaining, automatically or
otherwise, always wants first offer
made to him. Then he holds the other
to 1t and angles for further conces-
sions. The allies have made Kemal
Pasha a definite offer of CONSTANT
nople, Thrace TO the Maritz river, and
membership in the League of Nations,
but it is believed that Kemal probably
will reply with demand for all of
eastern Thrace and complete retire
ment Of the British from neutral zones
before the Turks enter into a peace
conference.
1t is taken for granted, however,
both in Paris and London, that no
reply will be Forthcoming from the
nationalist leader until he sees M.

Oregon Republicans
Have First Conclave
During Dozen Years

Portland, Ore, Sept. 25.-Repubhc-
ans of Oregon will hold their first
state convention in II years Tuesday.
The convention, called by State Chair
man Walter l.. Toose, Jr., will merely
adopt declaration of principles, Toose
said. and bold an open forum for dis
cussions. The reason no party conven-
tions have been held in Oregon in re-
cent years is that the direct primary
has been in effect, whereby all nomi-
nations are made. Republican party
leaders this year decided to hold con-
vention in the hope of clarifying cam
paign issues.

formed that a relative of Mrs. Mills
had a letter from her in which she
herself told in detail of her plans to
elope to Japan with Hall.
Mills, who has been frequently
questioned by the detectives of both
Middlesex and Somerset counties re-
garding all details of the case, threw
added light on the theory of elopement
when he recounted the conversation
which he now says took place between
himself and Mrs. Hall on Friday morn
ing, September Is, on the steps of the
church, after the two say they had
spent the night looking for their mates.
Here's How They Talked
The dialogue follows:
as anyone sick in your family p
asked Mrs. Hall
"No," replied Mills.

night
Neither has my wife,"
"Do you think they could have
eloped?" Mills asked.
NO." Mrs. Hall is said to have re-
piled. 81 think my husband has met
with foul play"

Dancing Bug Invades
Stockton Dwellings

Stockton, Calf, Sept. 25.-The
dancing Dervish" bug has invaded
Stockton. Offices, restaurants and
homes are infested. The bug is a new
specimen and local experts have been
unable to classify it. The dancing char
acteristic is most marked. The bug.
which is about the size of an ordinary
hatpin head, has tiny wings which
seem unable to support it on any pro-
tracted flights. Usually after spas
modic flight, the bug lands and then
begins a series of gyrations similar to
those used by dancers. If it happens
to light on an exposed arm, it bites.
The bites are painful and produce a
swelling similar to that caused by the
sting of a bee. The bugs are sup
posed to be a product of the IA days
of unreasonable heat.

the Turks have organized a force of
10000 men to take over the admins
tration in Thrace. Many large motor

heads in Turkish Thrace were occu-
pied by strong forces Sunday evening.
General Zia Pasha, Turkish war min
lister, inspected the troops Sunday.

may attempt landing at Midia on
the Black sea, about so miles from the
mouth of the Bosphorous.

1t is understood that the Kemalists
have asked the allies unofficially for
permission to transport troops from
the Asiatic banks of the Dardanelles
to the European side by means of
pontoon bridges. If the authority is
granted, crossing by this method could
easily be accomplished, as the shortest
distance between the two shores is
less than mile. The main forces of
the kemalists now are 15 miles from
Chanak.
1t is understood that the allies will
not object to the passage of a small
military and administrative force into
Thrace by way of Midia. This would
avoid violation of the neutral zone.
Notwithstanding the threat of the
Athens government to hold Thrace at
all costs, the KemaIists are confident
that with the existing hunters Tur-
kish troops in Thrace, they will be able
to eject the Greek army.

The man who added most to his
reputation at Annapolis was Presi-
dent William !. Norris, of the Sen
ate. When his name was proposed
for that high office The Sun
thought and said that his selection
would be a mistake. The Sun takes
pleasure in admitting that it was
mistaken President Norris came
as near being an ideal presiding
officer as this State has seen in a
long time When Senator Meter
oft declared on the closing night
that Norris had been the best pre-
siding officer in the history of the
State he was not talking conven-
tionally. He had said the same
thing in private, and he is not only
a very partisan Republican, not
given to Praising Democrats, but
a man who has a way of saying
what he means. whoever it helps
or hurts. 1t was all the more
high tribute because Mr. Metzerott
had seen Speaker Laird preside in
the session of 1916, and had and
has a very high opinion of his
ability. President Norris added 20
his fairness and unfailing patience
and courtesy the capacity of quick
decision and expediting the work.

FRIDAY AFTERNOON, JULYl 1922
HARDING, ROOSEVELT. WILSON
AND THE COAL STRIKE.

The most surprising feature OF the
coal situation, without entering upon
any discussion of the merits of the
controversy, is this:
With the average householder not
knowing where or how he is going to
obtain his winter supply with various
industries not knowing how they will
obtain fuel to keep their plants in OPP
Grafton during the winter. with the
situation deadlocked between opera
tors and miners, with a conference in
session to try to arrive at a solution,
President Harding delivers a charac-
teristic milk and water speech to the
conference and resumes his vacation
al diversions.
No one would denv President Hard
ing the bovish delight he apparently
experiences in freeing himself from
the arduous cares of his high office
when opportunity offers. But there IS
a time for work and a time for play
When the general interests of the
public are threatened it is time to sup
press the playbov instinct and to deal
promptly with the matter at first
hand.
The surprise comes, therefore.
when President Harding's method of
dealing with the acute coal situation
is contrasted with those of former
Presidents Roosevelt and Wilson. The
question naturally arises would eth
er of them in such a critical situation
have delayed so long and then dealt
with the matter in tempOriZing
manner and have left Washington at
such a time? Would they virtually
have said, Let Herbert and Jim do
it," or would they have taken COM
mand of the situation themselves and
pressed it to a solution? We know
what they did under similar circum-
stances.
President Harding owes a duty to
INC "u"ilS III eHeCIlhS just settle
ment of this coal CONFERENCE.-THE any
event to protect the public interest
The coal situation is another test Of
his administration. As the Boston Her
aid (RepD, saws:
THE coal operators are not on trial.
the United Mine Workers are not on
