PEACE PACT
Will Sign Armistice and

Announces.

Paris, Oct 12.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press. Greece has decid
ed to sign the Mudania armistice
convention and evacuate Thrace.
according to the conditions stipu-
lated in that document, the FreEh
foreign Office was officially inform
ed today.
Adrianople, Oct. 12.-(By the As
sociated Press News Of the con-
clusion of the armistice at Mu-
dania was received quietly here,
as a large part of the population
already regarded re-entry OF the
Turks into eastern Thrace as in
evitable. Talk of resistance is
mainly confined to the army.
! Withdrawal of funds from the
banks and the question Of assets
have been progressing for several
days and will undoubtedly be ac-
centuated by the knowledge that
Turkish civil authorities will bs
in charge As days after the arm
istice takes effect.
Thousands Leave Adrianepls.
More than a thousand families
have left Adrianople for Greece
within the last week, and the city
is filed with refugees from the
village, bound westward. Already
the people are leaving as rapidly
as possible considering the lack
of transportation facilities, caused
by the fact that many horses and
, wagons have been .requisitioned by
the army.
Despite the presence of the al
lied mission sent here from Con-
stantinople the Christian popula-
ton seem unwilling to believe thai
the allies can carry out their guar
antees of protection.

GRAIN PROBE
IS DELAYED
BY ARMOUR
Refuses to Give Federal
Board Details of Pit
Operations.

Chicago, Oct. IA. Ogden Ar
mour. packer, and George E. Marcy.
president of the Armour Grain
company, principal witnesses yes
terday before the federal trade
commission in its inquiry of trad
ing in grain futures, were in con-
ference with attorneys to determ-
inc to what extent they will reveal
details of their grain transactions
when they appear before the COM
mission again tomorrow.
Declining yesterday to disclose
the intimate details Of their specu-
lations, MIR. Armour and Mr.. Mar
cy agreed to tell the commissis'1 n
tomorrow whether they would
furnish details and figures Of their
trades requested by the federal in
quiry board.
Mr.. Armour characterized him
self as a casual trader" in the
grain market. He denied that Ar
mour & Co., the packing house
was interested in any grain deals
in which he participated, asserting
that the packing firm does no,
trade in grain futures.
In his preliminary testimony M
Armour said some of his grain
transactions were handled. by the
Armour Grain company, and some
by other brokers, whose names he
declined to reveal. He declared
that he followed the grain market
only casually and did not receive
daily reports from the Armour
Grain company, with whose bust
ness he said he was not sufficiently
acquainted to answer some of the
questions put to him.
Praises BOARD of Trade.
Both Mr.. Armour and Mr.. Marcy
defended the board Of trade as a
necessary medium through which
the farmer finds sure and con-
slant market for his grain.
The farmer has a place to sell
his grain every day in the year,
Mr.. Armour said. ''He may not al
times get the price he is entitled
10, UuL L IIluh IL udS SIdDIllLCu SoA-
ditions. Generally speaking, he is
better off, + would say, than with.
out a speculative futures market
! because no man in the grain bus
mess would buy wheat until he had
sold it, and you know that some.
times you have to carry wheat 9
long time before you can sell it."
Trades ;1Not Important"
Pressed for answers to questions
relative to his operations on the
board of trade since the wartime
ban on trading in wheat futures
was lifted July Is, 1920, Mr.. Ar
mour said he could not see that his
answers would be Of Importance tt
the inquiry. At any rate he said he
would have to make estimate Of his
grain transactions if he replied te
requests for details.
John R. Mauff, secretary OF tht
Chicago board of trade, told tn;
commission that the Capper-Tinch
er act, which the board plans tt
attack before~the United States su
preme court, is driving trade in fu
/ lures to Winnipeg and Liverpool.

WEEKS RENEWS
SHOALS LEASE

Washington, Oct 12.-Renewal
for another year Of the lease under
which the Alabama Power company
operates the governments electri-
cal generating steam plant at
Muscle Shoals. Ala, was announced
today by Secretary Weeks.
The contract was renewed on the
same terms as originally negotiat-
ed, a step which Secretary Weeks
said was necessary to enable a
number of cotton mills and other
industries in southern states, in
cluding North and South Carolina,
to continue operations, and which
otherwise would have been COM
PEELED to close down or materially
curtail production because of dis
turbed conditions in the coal and
transportation industries and lack
Of developed hydro-electric power" "

AGREE ON PRICE
Of ANTHRACITE

Washington, Oct. 12.-An agree
ment which is expected to result
in fixing the maximum price OF an
thracite mined by independent op-
orators at $9.25 per ton at the mines
has been reached between the Penn
sylvania authorities and Fuel Dis
tributor Spens, representing the
federal government.
The agreement, announced here
today by w. D. B. Ainey, chairman
Of the Pennsylvania fuel commits
sion, is regarded by officials as as
suring immediate reductions in the
hard coal prices now charged by
independent operators, controlling
20 per cent OF the output, thus re-
moving a price discrepancy that has
been the cause Of complaint in all
consuming territories.

Boasts to Russians of

Moscow, Oct 12.-(By the Asso-

navy have completed their first
maneuvers and am very much
Ssatisfied, War Minister Trotzky
told the Congress of Textile Trade
Union Workers yesterday on his
return from the south, bronzed
from outdoor life.
cit was the allies who at Genoa
refused our offer to consider dis
armament" he added, land we have
drawn the conclusion that it is
necessary for us to keep up an
army of 100000 strong.
'..The army is made up entirely of
young men and l am glad to say l
was tremendously impressed with
the enthusiasm shown by all the
recruits.
~Militarists," He Says.
'The European press marvels at
the fact that our navy has been re-
established within such a short
time. Looking at US accusingly
they say the Red ships have begun
to move, and assert that we are
militaristic. Yes, we are guilty;
our. ships are on the move. But
why not? That is what they were
built for.
".The allies at Genoa declined to
consider our armament program.
Now 1 say the Red army and navy
is the most convincing argument
when it comes to talking peace and
| possibly rapprochement with 9TH
fer countries.
I'VE have made efforts and met
with success. / am very much sat
isfield with our military progress. u

Somersville, N. j., Oct. 12.-Ray-
mond Schneider. detained as a ma
terial witness in the Hall-Mlils
murder case today collapsed in the
Somerset county Jail. A physician
who worked over him nearly half
an hour before he was revived,
stated that he was suffering from a
severe nervous breakdown after
the grilling to which he had been
subjected.
1t was Schneider's accusation
that Clifford Hayes had slain Rev.
Edward Wheeler Hall and Mrs.
Eleanor Reinhardt Mills, in mis-
take for another couple that led TO
the arrest of Hayes on a charge OF
murder.
Find Bloody Knife7
New Brunswick, N. j., Oct. 12.-
New Jersey officials investigating
the killing on Sept IA, Of Rev. Ed
ward Wheeler Hall, rector of the
Episcopal church Of st. John the
Evangelist, and his choir leader,
Mrs. Eleanor Reinhardt Mills,
sought today to identify a potato
knife found some distance from
the spot where the bodies were dis
covered and turned over to the To-
cal police yesterday. Detectives
considered it possible that the
knife was the one used in slashing
Mrs. Mills throat. There were
spots on the blade which may have
been caused by blood. An analysis
is to be made during the day.
Investigators continued to cloak
their actions with a screen OF Sec
recy. Apparently the mystery was
lust as far from solution today as
before the arrest of Clifford Hayes,
youth held on the statement by
Raymond Schneider, who reported
the finding of the bodies two days
after the rector and Mrs. Mills dis
appeared.
State Takes Hand.
Schneider charges that Hayes
shot the pair, thinking them Mich
olas BANNER and his step-daughter
Pearl. both Of whom are being held
in Jail. Schneider also is under ar
rest as a material witness.
Possibility that Governor Es-
wards may send the state attorney
general to New Brunswick to take
charge of the inquiry was ex.
pressed here today. Three separ.
ate agencies have been working or
the case and it was thought by
some that central authority
might make greater harmony.

HIRAM JOHNSON
IS LOSING GRIP
ON CALIFORNIA
Laurence Says Sena-
tor Is Called a
Conservative.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Copyright, 1922, by The Argus.)
Los Angeles, Calf, Oct H.
This is the section of California in
which Senator Hiram Johnson
seems to have lost his grip. So
intense is the anti-Johnson senti-
ment that as powerful and as reg
ular a Republican newspaper as
the. Los Angeles Times has an
nounced that while it will not en-
dorse the Democratic nominee it
will on the other hand decline to
ask the people to support johnson.
Some idea of the falling off in
johnson stock here may be OBJ
tanned by examining the primary
vote for president two years ago,
when so nationally advertised and
we'll liked a person as Herbert
Hoover had difficulty carrying
Los Angeles county by majority
of fifteen hundred. This year C.
C. Moore, candidate for, the sena-
torial nomination and not tn be
compared with MIR. Hoover in pres
tige with the community carried
the same county by fifteen thou.
sand votes over Hiram johnson.
Suspect He's Wet.
Strange as it may seem the op
ponents of the senior senator from
California argue that he is nj
longer progressive and all tia
sort of thing. This is dry country
and they suspect Johnson, however
reticent he may be on the subject
to lean towards the wet side
Hiram Johnson will have to de
pend on the northern part of thu
state for his majority. But he will
need more votes from the nortf
than ever before. And winning
with Johnson in this instance il
not merely polling more votes thar
his Democratic opponent but re
tanning the support of the Repub
lican rank and file on a numerical
basis that shall be the equivalent
of vote of confidence. The Re
publican registration is practical
ly four to one greater than the
Democratic totals. But Californi;
, had somewhat the same dispro
portion between the parties wheI
! Woodrow Wilson carried the stat'
by three thousand six years age
and Johnson by 250. 900.
"GO0d Governor. But
Will johnson win by 250,000? L
