 The indictment is regarded as vir- tually the last of a series of steps talk en against various industries affecting housing and begun by the investiga- tion carried on by the Lockwood legis lative committee.
 The firms and individuals named are engaged principally in the manu- fracture of porcelain and earthernware fixtures for bathrooms in apartment houses both in New York and other cities. Several of the indicted firms also manufacture bath tubs and simi- lar accessories.
 The indictment is in two counts. The first accuses the defendants of having been engaged in a price fixing combination. The second charges that the defendants have unlawfully restricted and confined sales of their merchandise to a special selected group of so-called Legitimate job bers"

Hay. ward said the defendants had a rule whereby members of the group were | barred from selling their merchandise directly to the builder, the architect or the contractor. The manufacturer according to Hayward, confined his sales to the so-called Legitimate job
 Der" who in turn, would confine his
 sales to Legitimate plumbers" The | jObber andthe plumber in each case 1 he said, would dictate his own prices without fear of competition.

THEODORE WEST PAYS PENALTY
 IF HIS CRIME
Nerve Fails at Last Moment; .Forcibly
 Held by Guards

FLORENCE, Sept 29.- Theodore West, maintainingf to the last has sham of insanity, died on the gallows at the Arizona state Denitentiary here at , o'clock this morning. He was executed for the murder of Lem Smith. in Mohave county in July, 1921
 West went to his death with never a hint of a confession.
 The condemned mans demeanor this morning just before he was taken to the gallows was in marked contrast to his behavior of last night, when he ragged up and down in the death cell, pouring out blasphemies and reviling his guards and fellow prisoners. This morning he appeared more subdued and ate a light breakfast of soft boil ed eggs.
 West slept from 1O:3O last night until about 3:3O this morning. his guards said. Then he awakened and complained that he had been disturb ed
 After he had eaten breakfast two clergymen were admitted to the death cell. West refused to recognize either one of them. although they have been visiting him regularly for weeks.
 A few minutes before five o'clock, the doomed man was led from the death cell to the execution chamber He asked that he be not strapped to the board, explaining that he wanted to walk up the steps of the gallows to see for himself just what kind of 'frame-up they had rigged up for him."
 His request was granted but he had to be assisted in his climb up the stairs. His nerve appeared to be go- ing.
 Arrived at the top. West became violent and began to wrestle with his guards. Finally, he had to be strap ped to the board and forcibly held on the trap until it was sprung.

 SAYS LETTERS
 ARE AUTHENTIC
Sun Yat Sen Admits 'Bolshe- viking Missives; Declares
 Translation Inaccurate

SHANGHAI, Sept. 29.-(By the As sociated Press)-Sun Vat Sen, former president of South China, while ad- hitting today that letters taken from his safe after his flight from Canton and published by the Hong Kong Tel egraph, were authentic, insisted that inaccurate translations of them had been made. The letters, it is charged disclosed Suns connection with pro- ject to form a triple alliance composed of China, Germany and the Moscow soviet government. Suns letters also purported to involve Von Hintzo, for mer German minister to Picking; who ii was said, planned to visit China and, together with Sun, direct bolshevist propaganda.
 In a lengthy statement. Sun Vat Sen declared that it was his considered opinion that China stands in great need of assistance from powers that will treat with her as an equal and l believe that Germany and Russia, as they now are governed, can and will treat with China on terms of equality. Therefore, favor a policy looking to- ward closer rapprochment with these powers.
 q don not consider that policy of rapprochment with these powers would initiate against the legitimate interests of any other power desiring a strong, reunited China. On the other hand, such a policy would serve the best interests of a nOn-mOnarchial non-reactionary China.
 This was the dominant considera- tiOn that inspired me. You can call me pro-German or pro-bolshevik. These epithets have no terrors for me, although they are deterring many from carrying out their duty to China.
 Concerning the letters caused to be published by Chin Chimg Ming, (military leader of South China who drove Su Vat Sen from power), the purpose of their publication is obvious They do not call for an explanation by me except to parliament. for my acts as it's constitutional head.
 Regarding the allegations that have been conspiring to effect an al liance of China, Germany and Russia based on bolshevik ideals l would Sug- gest that a perusual of the letters in the original Chinese will disprove such charge.

These agencies were owned by Till man, he stated, and he was to be come, under the agreement, managing director of the principal office in Stockholm.
 Stinnes Tillman's statement contin- ued, was to furnish collateral securi- ty that Tillman might undertake to secure a loan of $135,O0O,OOO in the United States.
 This amount was needed by Stinnes at the time, it was said for the pur- chase of American raw materils. insted of furnishing this collateral, the statement continued, Stinness con- cocted a lot of financial schemes as a sort of panacea for Germny's finan- cial afflications' which Tillman thought would never be seriously en- tertined by American bankers.

ST|LLMAN SUIT AGAINST WIFE
 |S BOOMERANG
Banker Loses Suit and Is Himself Found Guilty of
 Charges He Made
MAY APPEAL DECISION
Legitimacy of Little Guy Stillman Is Upheld by
 Courts Finding

CARMEL, N. Y., Sept. 29.-(By the Associated Press)-James A. Stillman, multimillionaire banker of New York, today lost his fight to divorce Mrs. Anne U. Stillman and disown Baby Guy Stillman, and was himself found guilty of the charge he made against his wife-the percentage of an illegit- innate child.
 MT. Stillman, it was indicated tonight has not given up the fight. His law yers would not say whether they would appeal from the findings of the referee should these be upheld by the supreme court justice but they were reported to have made move which seemingly makes clear that they have not conceded defeat.
 It was announced by John E. Mack, guardian ad litem for Guy Stillman, that at Poughkeepsie a week from to- morrow he would ask Justice Mor- shauer to confirm Referee Gleason's s findings. As soon as this announce ment was given out, it was learned that the plaintiff will seek to have the matter placed before supreme court Justice Tompkins instead of Jus tice Morshauser on the same date.
 Most of the open court hearings in the case have been before Justice Nor schauser. It was he who granted Mrs. Stillman record alimony of $90,000 a year, and it was Justice Morschauser who granted, over protest, the shift ing of the trial to Montreal last spring. There Mrs. Stillman presented some of her most damaging evidence.
 The report of the case, filed here this morning by Daniel J. Gleason, the referee gave to Mrs. Stilman a complete victory in her defense of her own honor and the good name of Guy her three year old son. She was also victorious in the counter attack she waged against Stillman. The referee upheld her accusation that the banker had lived with a former Broadway show girl, Florence H. Leeds, in the manner of husband and wife, and that he had acknowledged himself the fa- ther of two children born to Mrs. Leeds.

STATE PO[|CE
 TO HELP SOLVE
 DOUBLE MURDER
Detectives Believe Couple Were Killed in Embrace;
 Throat Was Cut
EXHUME HALLS BODY
Governor Invokes Aid of New Jersey State Police on
 Plea of Daughter

NEW BRUNSWICK. Sept. 29.-Gov ernor Edward l. Edwards announced today in a letter responding to a re- quest for aid from Charlotte Mills, 16 year old daughter of Mrs. Eleanor Reinhardt Mills, that he had invoked the assistance of the detectives of the New Jersey state police to help solve the mystery of the murder of Mrs. Mills and the Rev. Edward Hall.
 For the first time since the bodies of the slain choir leader and the cler. gyman were found under an apple tree two weeks ago, the exact character of the woman's wounds was made known today following an autopsy after the exhumdtion of her body. This show ed that in addition to three bullet wounds in her head, her throat was cut.
 Mrs. Hall, widow of the murdered clergyman, said tonight that she would not object to the elimination of MT. Halls body. The question had been raised whether she would permit this for the purpose of a thorough au- topsy such as has now been made on Mrs. Mills body. Referring to the latter autopsy which has established the fact of the calibre of the fatal bull let, Mrs. Hall said:
 No member of either the Hall or Stevens family ownsa 32 calibre re- volver."
 Detectives studying the results of today's autopsy concluded that the fourth bullet fired at her, which bare ly grazed lips had first passed through MT. Halls skull. From the position of the bullet wounds. the detectives declare they believe the couple were locked in an embrace when killed. In further support of this theory they say that one shoulder of Mrs. Mills organdie dress was blood soaked, which indicates to them that the cler- gyman's head was resting there when he was shot.
 Charlotte Mills called on Governor Edwards today at his office in Jersey City. After her visit letter was sent to her by the governor which said in part: "I read your pathetic appeal to me with profound regret and heartfelt sympathy for you in your extremely

 note from Mustapha Renal Pasha to Brigadier General Harrington. the British commander. cOuched in hos tile tenor, was considered by British military circles here as closing the door to a pacific settlement of the straits question The express points of an armed conflict were considered more evident than previously.
 The note of Kemal demands the re- tirement of all the British troops from the Asiatic side of the straits. as the French and Italians have done. and says in case of acquiescence he will withdraw the Nationalist forces slightly from the neutral zone
 It also demands the cessation of what are termed the arbitrary meas ures of the British authorities in Con- stantinople in dealing with the Turk ish population and a solemn under standing that no Greek vessel shall be permitted to pass the Dardanelles. IL concludes with a protest against the destruction of Turkish war materials in the straits.
 The note of Renal was in reply to the last written communication Of Gen eral Harrington, transmitted through Hamid Bey. the Kemalist representa- tive in Constantinople, to Kemal in Smyrna
 It is felt i'll British circles tonight that they would be forced to modify their cOnciliatory attitude at the mo- ment the Turks bring up heavy artil- lery with which they would be able tO threaten seriously the European side of the Dardanelles and also hamper passage of British vessels through the straits.
 Six submarines of the British Allan tic fleet have arrived and will be used to prevent the transport of Turkish troops across the Sea of Marmora in the event of war between the British and Turks.

 The policy the British authorities have pursued in the face of the con tinued occupation by the Kemalists of the region in they icinity of Chanak is believed in London to have been due partly to the absence of definite in- formation as to how far Great Britain could depend on French and Italian support in the event of hOstilities with the Kemalists.
