PARIS. November 9.-"Reservations
after the American fashion will al
most certainly be attached to the
Washington treaties for the limta-
ton of naval armaments before they
are ratified by the French parlia-
ment." said Edouard Soulier. chair
man of the subcommittee on the
Washington treaties. to the writer in
the chamber of deputies today.
"Opinion throughout France de-
mands reservations Based on those
formulated by the United States Sem
ate in relation to the treaty of Yer
sailles Moreover, 1t seems inevitable
that the debates on the treaties will
be postponed until January or later.
Matters of more Importance. such as
the budget and the army bill. take
precedence. Also the Yellow Book,
to publish on the Washington confer
ence, has not yet been completed"
Reparations in New Crisis.
From other sources the correspond
ent learns that the European politi-
cal situation, which is more threat
ening now than ever before, may
still further delay the debate on the
washington treaties. Maurice Bonn
pard, chairman of the senate subcom-
mittee on this matter, appointed
French delegate to the near east con-
ference at Lausanne. will be unable
to attend to parliamentary business
for weeks. Not only the near east
imbroglio, but the reparations prob
lem has fiared up into a crisis again.
The negotiations between the allied
reparations commission and the Ger
man government in Berlin apparently
have come to naught. Were 1t not
for the coming of the Brussels con-
ference, which Is awaited without op-
timism here, it is believed the French
government would have been froced
{ otake up the gauntlet in Germany
before now.
Even internal affairs, usually sec
ondary in France. are now making q
hid for speedy attention. The rapid
decline in the value of the franc Is
watched with anxiety by all classes
of the population. The deficit Of hve
billion francs in the budget Is VleWeo
with concern by bankers. Louis Louis
Loucheur's criticism in the chamner
of deputies of certain phases OF the
Poincare method of financierlng Is
regarded as significant by politicians.

NEW BRUNSWICK. y. J.. Novem-
Der 9.-The information on which the
state of New Jersey expected to OBJ
tain indictments of three persons for
the murder of the Rev. Edward
Wheeler Hall and his choir leader,
Mrs. Eleanor Reinhardt Mills, was to
be laid befo=a Supreme Court Justice
Parker and Grand Jury Foreman Gibb
by Deputy Attorney General Mott to-
day at Somerville.
Persons close to the authorities say
that the investigators have identified
the man who Mrs. Jane Gibson says
she saw shoot Mrs. Mills and the rec
tor. The authorities will ask that he
be indicted for first degree murder.
They will seek also to indict the
woman in gray" for first degree mur-
der on the ground that she was an
accomplics but did not actually kill
either DR.. Hall or Mrs. Mills.
Church Membt Third.
said to be a member of the Episcopal
Church of ST. John the Evangelist,
Of which DR.. Hall was rector. Author
tiles hope to obtain his indictment
on a charge of being an accessory
after the fact. They say he drove the
automobile which trailed DR.. Hall and
Mrs. Mills to the Phillips farm where
they were murdered and also that he
has concealed information from the
authorities.
The detectives. it was said, have
traced a series of telephone calls which
occurred shortly after the two tele-
phone communications which called
the rector and the choir singer from
their homes on the night they were
murdered. The last telephone calls, it
is alleged. were made for the purpose
of assembling the three persons now
under suspicion.
The mystery of the presence of the
two automobiles-one an old-fash-
small roadster-in De Russey's lane,
near the Phillips farm, on the night
when the Rev. Edward w. Hall and
Mrs. Eleanor R. Mills were murdered,
has been cleared up.
Eyewitness' Story Stands.
The lifting Of the veil which has
shrouded this angle Of the case. 1t was
said, by Special Detective Mason. finds
the story told as an eyewitness by
Mrs. Gibson unchanged. Her state
ment to the authorities that she saw
two men and two women in noisy
argument under the apple tree, where
the bodies of the rector and the choir
singer later were found. and saw a
man fred several shots. still stands,
the authorities assert. That account
was materially strengthened in sew
eral aspects by the bringing to light
Of new evidence contributed to the
case by two men who were near the
lane on the night of the murder.
Mrs. Gibson. in support Of her claim
that she could identify the characters
in the drama which she claims she
chanced upon while riding about the
country in search of thieves who had
looted her barn. had said that in turn

headlights of one of the automobiles

Raps "subject Class"
The consensus Of opinion in Wash
ington is that the whole cause OF
woman's advancement has suffered
setback. This reverse comes at a time
when the women are preparing TO
make their strongest fight before
Congress for the absolute equality
of the sexes. Miss Paufs TRADE
against women today was extremely
bitter.
THE disgraceful situation in which
women find themselves today is their
own fault" she declared. They re-
main a subject class because they
have no sense of solidarity. Men will
not allow women to have anything
they want themselves. Seats in the
House and Senate are desirable. and
that is why they have not been given
to women. Men will take all they can
get in the way of service and money
from women, but they will not part
with one bit of their power. Women

Result of Elections Held
Tuesday.

CONGRESS TEST LIKELY

Second only in public interest to the
party control of the next Congress
today is the question of how wet" or
how dry" the Sixty-eighth Congress
will be as a result of the elections
on Tuesday The 'wets." or liberals.
as they are calling themselves. place
their hope for a modification Of the
volstead prohibition enforcement act
in realignment of Congress.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
"wets" apparently were victorious in
referendums Of various kinds in Cali
fornia, Massachusetts, and Illinois, the
fact remains that the "drys" have in
creased their numerical strength in
the Senate. and have probably lost
not more than a score of seats in the
House. In fact. the AntiSaloon
League claims that the loss will not
be more than five.
The "wets" elected Gov. Edwards of
New Jersey. On the other hand. they
lost a supporter in Senator Pomerene
Of Ohio. In Missouri, Senator Jim
Reed, a recognized wet" defeated
Brewster, the republican. But Georgia

the late Senator Watson and Senator
Williams.
Rival Claims.
The "drys" point out that in Ohio
the referendum on the beer and wine
question was clear cut. and that 1t
was defeated by from 10000 to 2O0,-
900 votes.
They point out. too. that the senti-
ment in the great states Of the west
and middle west, and. In the south,
which were dry long before the ma
tional prohibition law became effec-
tive, apparently Is unchanged. It will
be impossible, they say. for a few
states, in which large cities are found,
chusetts and Maryland, to swing the
entire country to a modification of the
Volstead act, permitting the use of
beer and wine.
At the Treasury Department today,
however, it was said that proposals
act. and possibly permitting the use
Of beer and light wine, might follow
on the heels Of the elections Tuesday.
1t was admitted that the matter Is en-
tlrely 10 congress- however, ana
the Treasury Department will con-
tinue with a strict enforcement Of the
Volstead act, it was said. The sug-
gestion was made that possibly q
Joint resolution would be introduced
in Congress defining exactly what in
toxicating beverages are.
Senator Weller's Comment.
The passage of such a resolution is
not likely however
Senator Weller of Maryland, repub-
Iican, commenting upon the election
results today. said that, in his opin-
ion. now was the time for the lib
erals" to press for a change or modi-
fication of the prohibition enforce
ment act.
The opposition to the volstead act,
he said. had probably reached its
high-water mark. and advantage of
the feeling in the country should be
taken. He said he was elected two
years ago as q wet" and that Mary
land has just elected Mr.. Bruce to the
Senate on q very wet platform.
Both the Anti-Saloon League and
the Association Against the Prohibi-
tion Amendment are laying claim to
increased representation. for the
cause of strict enforcement Of the
Volstead act on the one hand, and for
light wines and beer on the other.

tute in New York, from which medi-

Indications are that radio receiv-

Sound waves travel farther
through the ground than in the air.
Radio waves may also be more eff
fective by transmission through wa
ter or the earth. That's the belief
of Charles P. Steinmetz, electrical
wizard. With sending antenna and
receiving set grounded, the earth
would act as a return circuit for the
current.
Wave length for broadcasting en-
tertainment is $50 meters. Daily
weather, market and crop report
and other official and semi-official
announcements are sent out on a
wave length of 485 meters.
The radio has cut in on the profits
from photograph records and sheet
music. Less of this source of music
is being bought today, says William

thousands of fans are depending on
the radio concerts for their amuse
ment.
