London, Nov. 2, tBy the Associated
Press Prime Minister Bonar Law, in
an address to a meeting OF women in
the Drury Lane theatre this after
noon said:
"As regards foreign policy / venture
to express the hope that America may
gradually take an interest in the
league of nations in some form or
other and may gradually feel that it
is her duty to help in the chaos in
which the war has left the world.
"0ur relations with France must be
the keynote Of our foreign policy the
prime minister declared.
''As to the position in the Near
East" the premier went on, what ]
hope for from the conference is that
there may be settlement which will
give peace in that part of the world
and which will enable us to bring our
troops back and stop spending money
in those distant regions.
"As to the home policy the most
important thing is to cut down ex-
penditures. Without that there can
be no reduction in taxation.

tion" the prime minister declared later
on. "We must retain forces adequate

LABORITES SUFFER
HEAVY DOWNFALL
Lose Over 500 Seats in Borough Elec'
tions Held Yester-
day

London. Nov. 2, (By the Associated
Press stunned by the heavy down
fall of their candidates in the municipal
elections throughout England yester-
day the laborities intensified the
political campaign to-day with the
hope of making better showing in
the general election for parliament
Nov. Is.
In Yesterdays ballotting the labor
ties lost l4g seats which they had
previously held in London and about
lao seats which they had occupied in
eighty boroughs outside the capital, for
the rnost part in such large cities as
Manchester Liverpool, Birmingham,
Derby. Nottingham, Plymouth, South
ampton and Portsmouth.
While il undoubtedly would be rash
10 assume that labor is doomed TO the
same fate at the parliamentary polls as
at suffered yesterday, nevertheless the
outcome Of the local elections has GER
tainiy made labor's prospects for
Parliament very discouraging.
In some instances laborite repre-
sentation was completely wiped out in
the municipal election, but at other
polls labor held its own and even made
a few gains.

In Million Dollar Aliena-
ton Suit Of Mrs. Wood
house at Burlington
WHILE LAWYERS
DISCUSS DEPOSITION
Woodhouse Senior Disin-
herited Son, Declared
Witness

Burlington, Nov. 2--The public was
barred from to-day's session Of the
million dollar suit brought by Mrs.
Dofrit Van Dusen Stevens Woodhouse
while the court and attorneys for the
opposing sides <seussed the deposition
taken in Reno, New, from C. Douglass
Woodhouse, husband of the woman
who is suing Douglas parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Lorenzo +. Woodhouse Of
New York, for alienation Of their sons
affection toward his wife.
Lorenzo E. Woodhouse, one OF the
defendant in the million dollar alien
alton suit brought by his daughter
in-law, Mrs. Dorrit Woodhouse, made
the statement in the early part of
October, 1927, that 'he had nothing
further to do with his son, that he
had disinherited him but that he hoped
to have him back in the family at a
later date
Such was the testimony yesterday
of Mrs. Katherine Pratt of this city,
a dressmaker who had done some work
for the plaintiff in this case and who
was unable to collect her bill of s57.75
from Douglas Woodliouse, the plain
tiff's husband
Mrs Pratt said further that the
elder Woodhouse was courteous to her
but said that he would not pay the
bill as he had nothing further TO do
with his son, whom he had disinhcr-
tied. He suggested that she send her
bill to Douglas, who would probably
pay it ii he wasn't destitute.
Mr. Woodhouse, the father, com
pleted his testimony begun yesterday.
His memory appeared to be rather un-
dependable, especially in connection
with recollections of when he had
seen the deposition Of his son taken
in Reno, New. At first he could not
remember that il had been sent to
him but he finally decided that he
had received papers which were prob
ably the ones in question.
Later he admitted that he had read
parts of the deposition but could not
remember when. He finally stated that
it was before the first of last October.

Never Heard Any Cos

New Brunswick, Nov. 2.--0ificials

Frances Stevens Hall to 20 newspaper.
men. Stenographic transcripts OF the
interview were in the hands OF both
special Deputy Attorney General Will
bur A. Mott and his chief inyesti-
gator, Detective James r. Mason
The detective said, however. that
two witnesses had stated that Mrs.
Hall entered her home at 2:l0 a. m. on
the morning after the murders, instead
of $3.50 a. m. as she told the news
papermen. He said also that these
two witnesses said she was alone.
Mrs. Hall said her brother, Willis
Stevens was with her.
Efforts were continued to identity
the man described by Mrs. Jane Glib
son, farmer woman, as the murderer.
1t was pointed out that little would
be accomplished in going before the
grand jury at this time with Mrs.
Gibson's alleged eye-witnessed account
because it specifically stated that the
woman she saw on the old Phillips
farm did not commit the murders.
Looking up from his work in the
coal bin at the schoolhouse where he
is ianitor, James Mills, whose wife,
Eleanor, was murdered with Rev. Ed
ward Hall on Sept. IA, to-day took is-
sue with some Of the statements made
yesterday by the clergyman's widow
in an interview with newspapermen.
Il never heard any gossip about my
wife and DIR. Hall. Ii ! had ! would

Hall and if he would not listen, /
would have gone to the bishop of the
vestry."
Mills said he had never heard OF
his wife having trouble With any
body, and said he knew of no ene-
mics that DIR. Hall might have had
"There was plenty of gossip about
members Of the choir, though he

BARRE CITY is
WITHOUT FUNDS
City Meeting Called to Pro-
vide Means to Pay
Bills
AND ACT ON S : II
OF A SCHo 2 HOUSE
Summer Stree : Building
Wanted for 3 lrochial
School F s poses

A city meeting mas been called for
Monday evening, Nov. la, et the city
hall to see If the city win vote to au-
thorize the city council to sell the
Summer street school property. to see
if the city will authorize the council
to buy land across the street from the
Mathewson school for school purposes,
and to see if the city will vote to issue
its notes or bonds for the purpose of
refunding a part of its indebtedness.
Although no explanation or state
ment has been made by the council or
mayor as to the reason for these mat
ters to be brought before the voters,
it is understood an offer has been made.
to buy the Summer street school land
and building for a parochial school.
Az to the part of the warning to zee
if the city viii vote to issue its notes
or bonds for the purpose OF refunding a
part of its indebtedness, it is under
stood that the city has nearly run out Of
funds for current expenses and further
that it owes s46,O2s.75 on a note for
money borrowed in anticipation of
taxes. The amount originally borrowed
on this note was 100000, the proceeds
of which went to pay off 100000 water
bonds which came due last July. BIZ
applying what money there was in the
city sinking fund it has been reduced
to $46,02S.75; but no part Of the mon
ey raised by taxation this year re-
mains to apply on it. The council
therefore is to bring the problem be-
fore the voters for solution.
