On the nigst of the murders, he told the au- thorities, he passed sedan in Derussys lane. close to the spot where the bodies were found. He said he observed that the car con- tained two men and woman and that the woman wore light coat.
 Mrs. Hall was known to have worn polo coat of light gray on that night, when, according to her story, she left her home after midnight to seek her missing husband in his study at the Church of St. John the Evangelist. Mrs. Hall has told the investigators she was accompanied by her brother, willie" Stevens, an eccentric. Witnesses say she re- turned home at l. The Halls own a sedan car.
 Sought to Elope

 One was a letter believed to have been written by Mrs. Mills shortly before she met her death. This let ter, which 1t was admitted was found in the clergyman's pocket. it was learned. contained the expression: ''Oh, for the time when I can do your mending."
 Another evidence of the supposed elopement plan was contained in a letter from w. c. Hinhia, a Hindu occultist of Miama, Fla. He wrote that Mrs. Mills had sent him a letter propounding these questions:
 Will the minister set a divorce ?''
 "Will he go to 2 foreign country,
 If he gives up the other woman and goes to the Orient. shall I go with him?"
 He said that if he had answered he could have given her advice which would do good" If she would buy his book on astrology. but that he had heard nothing further.

MINERS DEMANDS ARE REAFF|RMED
 BY POLICY BOARD
Organization Asks For Contin- uance of Present Wages Until 1925 and For Five
 Day Week
By Associated Pres.

Cleveland, October 4.-The policy committee of the United Mine Work CTS of America today reaffirmed the demands of the February conven- ton of the union, demanding the continuance of the present wages in coal mines until 1925 and in addition. the six-hour day and five-day week, time and one half for overtime work and double time on Sundays and hoIi- days. These demands will be present. ed to the next scale conference of miners and operators prior to the ex- piration March 31, of the Cleveland agreement signed last August. which practically settled the soft coal strike.
 Today's decision by the policy com mittee makes it unnecessary for the miners union to hold a convention next April. John l.. Lewis. president of the United Mine Workers, an nounced. The old schedule of de- mands never was presented to the operators because the producers as- sociations in the old central com petitive field, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Western Pennsylvania, refused to meet the union before the miners strike began April 1.
 Day laborers' wages in bituminous mines Is s7.50, and this had been the scale since the summer of 1920.
 Follows Conference
 The policy committee meeting fol- lowed a final session of a joint com ference of operators and miners meeting here since Sunday to make preliminary wage negotiations to take place next February
 The joint conference. representing all important union bituminous coal producing districts in the nation. agreed to a method of selecting del- egates to conference to meet in Chicago.NNovember 14, to formulate a method of procedure to be followed by the industry in negotiating a wage scale agreement to become effective April l, 1923.
 The setting up of this committee was provided in the Cleveland agree ment and leaders declared it to be a highly important accomplishment. Phil H. Penna. secretary of the Indiana Coal Operators association and chairman of the joint conference. declared it makes possible recon struction of the bargaining ma chinery, which had been broken up tefore the coal strike.

Constantinople, October 4.-The Mudania conference, it is understood this evening, will probably reach an agreement on all points of the Tur- kish proposals on which M. Frank lin-Bouillon secured Kemal Pasha' s pledge to suspend military move ments during the negotiations with the exception of the provision rela- tive to the occupation to the western line of the Maritza river by allied troops.
 Argument on this point is still pro- ceeding. The allies have agreed to turn over Thrace to the Turkish army in 30 days.
 General Mobelli. Italy presided over the session today in accordance with the arrangement by which the allied generals will rotate in occu- pying the chair.
 The keynote of today's proceedings was peace" The only serious hitch was on the occupation of Thrace by allied detachments.
 News received this evening that M. Franklin Bouillon, French envoy, and Hamid Bey, nationalist representa- tive, had decided to return to Con stantlnople from Mudanla immedl- ately

 The delegates agreed this after noon to establish a definite line of demarkation between British and Kemalist forces in the Chanak zone. The space between the opposing forces will be sufficient to place them cut of rifle shot. thus lessen ing the danger of immediate conflict.
 Ismet Pasha, Turkish nationalist representative, insisted on this pro lection against a Greek flank attack on the Turkish occupying forces. The allied representatives pointed out the difficulty of their acquieseence be- cause of the small forces at their command.
 The Turks withdrew their demand for the evacuation of Thrace in eight days.
 The attitude of Greece and the Greek army as represented by Colonel Plastiras was the only cloud to peace. He let everybody know that the Greek army was a real factor and that it's new chiefs were determined to resist every attempt to reinstats the Turks in Thrace.

 The remains are being held in the morgue of Johns. pending orders from Coroner J. D. Russum. Elliott has no surviving relatives, known to Candy, who appeared to be the only one acquainted with the deceased.
 Immediately after the shot was
 fired, Candy said that he ran
 into the room, which had been
 rented by Elliott yesterdny aft
 ern0On about two hours prevf-
 ous to the time of his death, and
 found Elliott sitting on the side
 of his bed. Candy said that st
 his first glance at Elliott he
 thought that he was intoxi-
 csted, but on coming closer he

CANCELLATION OF
 FOREIGN DEBTS
 NOT CONSIDERED
America Will Not Act in Man ner of Harsh Creditor, Say Treasury Department
 Officials
Ky Associated Press

"SHih hS ton, OctoDer 4.-SuBBestion of Reginald McKenna, former chan cellor of the British exchequer, be- fore the American Bankers associa- tion in New York of the advisability Of definite postponement of payments 10 this country on war debts by for eign nations, except Great Britain, until the amount such nations could ultimately pay could be determined. was regarded at the treasury today AS merely stating the status quo of negotiations by the debt funding commission so far as interest Is con- csrned.
 With respect to the possibility of reduction of the principal of for elgn debts as suggested by the Brit ish finaneier, treasury officials de- clared that the debt commission was entirely governed by the wishes of Congress, which in the present law only authorized the commission to ar range for the payment of the war time obligations on suitable terms. IL has been tacitly admitted by tue treasury that Great Britain alone wns expected to begin the payment of in- forest on her s5.00o. 900 ,0o0 debt on October 1b, when the first install- ment since the expiration of Inc three-year deferred period falls due and negotiations by the debt com mission were said 10 be proceeding on the theory of ascertaining when and on what terms the other debtor coun- tries might start payment.
 As to the principal of the debts It was conceded that after investigation by the debt commission and con ferences with foreign representatives the facts as to conditions in soma narfirillar n t-lt ha fore Congress with view of hay ing the commission empowered to make such terms as would enable payment. But as to any general cancellation or wholesale reduction of foreign debts treasury officials were of the opinion that such step would be injurious to the welfare of the world
 Any action which could be con- strued as repudiation of an ex- ternal debt by a sovereign govern ment, it was explained. II would work irreparable harm to the credit of that nation, while cancellation by a mum Der of countries would multiply lack of confidence in governmental ob- ligations.
 On the other hand, it has been in dicated at the treasury that there Is no disposition on the part of the United States to press for payment of its foreign debts in the manner of harsh creditor. Payment by Great Britain has been regarded as un- questionable and treasury officials have gwen the impression that France and some other more impor- tant nations could be relied on to meet their obligations under care fully worked out funding arrange ments. But as to some of the smaller and poorer foreign debtor nations there have been indications of a wili- irBness on the part of this country to treat with leniency where neces- sary.
