EXPECT ARRESTS

Authorities Indicate Alleged Sayers

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
New Brunswick, N j., Oct. 20
The Hall-Mills murder mystery has
been solved and the alleged slayers
are virtually in a state of secret
arrest'-under continuous surveil-
lance of detectives, it was reported
here today. Prosecutor Stricken,
while not confirming this, admitted
decided progress had been made
in the last week."
The very fact that there was less
feverish activity among Prosecutors
Beekman and Stricken and the de-
tectives and investigators that are
aiding in the case, was also taken
to bear out this belief.
The whole atmosphere about the
court house seemed to portend an
actual arrest would be made soon.
The lull in activity was taken to
mean that the investigators had
about closed in on the person to
whom the latest clues point as the
slayer of the minister and choir
singer, who were found slain on the
unoccupied Phillips farm nearly
five weeks ago.

B0NAR LAW GETS
GENEROUS PRAISE
Leading Journalist Of Britain De-
cIares He viii Lead England
Back to Traditional Con-
servative Policy.
BY RALPH d. BLUMENFELD,

by lt<AlLI II ~ iJIo iHiri'b
editor Of London Daily Express.)
Copyright, 1922, by United Press.)
London, Oct. 20.-The succession
of A. Bonar Law to the premiership
means that the British empire will
be led back firmly by'a master hand
to a course of traditional conserv-
atism in international affairs, which
means abtenance from adventure
abroad, determination to mingle in
the affairs of other nations and a
fixed policy Of maintaining the his
toric traditions of the British EN-
pire. It is an old truth that wars
and international complications have
been. studiously avoided by the Con-
servatives. Whenever they have
been out of power, the nation has be-
come entangled abroad and in the
end it has been the Conservative
element on whom has fallen the
task of extrication.
The adventures Of the LLOYD
George government brought things
to climax and forced the Con-
servative majority in the coalition
to assert its principles.
The crash was inevitable.
Bonar Law represents in the fullest
sense the true unalloyed policy Of
Britains ancient conservatism. He
is careful, conscientious thinking
man who never acts on impulses.
If anything, he errs on the side of
caution. He is imbued with the
spirit Of the old Scotch covenanter
He has no sympathy with interna
tional speculation. His premiership
will be remarkable more for steady
answering determination. First, tC
get the public in order before at
tempting to put on decorations.
So far as his attitude toward the
United States is concerned, I car
eagerly prophecy that his under
standing of sympathy for the Amer
ican democracy is deep and wei
founded.
