WANTS TO FIND
MOTHERS SLAYER

New Brunswick. N. j., Sept. 27.-
Charlotte Mills, 16 year old girl, to-
night wrote a letter to Governor Ed
wards of New Jersey asking him to
help her find the murderer of her
mother, Mrs. James Mills, who was
slain two weeks ago tomorrow with
the Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall, rec
tor of the Protestant Episcopal
Church of st. John the Evangelist.
In her letter little Miss Mills wrote
that she had heard that a political
gang, which "is running things" was
interfering with the investigation of
the shooting of her mother.
Il am Charlotte Mills of New
Brunswick" she wrote. "My moth
er, as you know, was murdered two
weeks ago, and it seems to me that
the investigation is not bringing re-
suits. / have received letters from
strangers saying that the political
gang 81 running things. Can this be
true?
"As we have no means whatever
to get legal hedp, is there not some
way, dear governor, you can help me
find the murderer of my mother?
Charlotte Mills"
Charlotte wrote the letter after she
returned from school which she re-
sumed today. On her way to school
this morning, she said, she and her
father did not discuss the tragedy at
home, as they could agree on but
few of the details in connection with
the shooting.
The authorities, who have been em-
ployed for the past several days on
an intensive study of the clues in the
case as supporting first blackmail
and then jealousy as motives for the
crime, announced today they were in
vestigating the activities Of a secret
society, in the absence of other def
mite leads.
Prosecutor Stricken said this new
theory had been taken up on the dis
covery of conclusive evidence that
the society was an active force in
New Brunswick.
Detectives were insistent there was
sufficient evidence at least to call for
study of this new theory. The ALI
thorities, while declining to discuss
other evidence which they indicated
was in their possession substantial
ing the theory that self-appointed
moral censors were responsible for
the dual Staying, said the illogical
conclusion" of such a theory was that
the couple were summoned to trial
by the society before they were killed.

KEMAL'S REPLY
AVERTS CONFLICT

SohS1dhIihoPie, oep% 10y Cne
Associated Press) .-Pdssib e war be-
tween Great Britain and Turkey was
at least temporarily averted this at
ternoon by an. 11th hour declaration
of the Kemalists that they would re-
spect the neutrality of the straits,
pending an armistice conference.
The declaration relieves the situa-
ton, which even the British had ad
mitted was critical.
In message to Kemal Pasha at
Smyrna, General Harrington urged an
early meeting of the British = and
Kemalists generals at Mudania or Is
mid as the most effective way of
reaching an amicable understanding
in the present difficult situation Gre
ated by the Kemalist advance in the
Dardanelles.
The message, which was most con-
ciliatory in tone, declared it would
be a pity at the present juncture to
allow local occupations on the straits
to jeopardize peace.
Prior to announcement that the
Kemalists would respect the neutral
ity off the straits, Hamid Bey, the
Angora representative, said to the
correspondent: The Kemalists natur-
ally will come across the so-called
neutral zones, but they have not the
slightest intention of firing upon the
British occupying those zones. If
however, the British move against
us, we will be forced to reply"
General Harrington replied to KEN
al Pasha, thanking him for the dec
laration that he would respect the
neutrality of the straits and that he
wished to avoid conflict. The Brit
ish commander added that the de-
struclion of which Kemal complained
was prompted by military necessity
and declared that no shot had been
fired against the Turks in anger nor
would be except under his orders. he
tcpncluded by expressing readiness 70
meet Kemal at any convenient place
tof discuss an understanding.
Smyrna, Sept. ~ (By the Associ-
"a Press -Yussuf Kemal Bey, the
ionalist foreign minister, left for
fora today with the draft of the
lbnalists' reply to the allied peace
nsals. It is understood to en-
he following conditions:
i. PRIOR 20 the opening Of the peace
conference the Nationalists shall oc-
cupy all strategical points in order to
achieve the provision Of the Nation
alist pact regarding Thracs.
2. All British forces now en- route
shall be recalled and the British shall
abstain from fortifying the neutral
zones.
3. The Nationalists shall occupy
Thrace before the peace conference.
4. The Nationalists reserve the
right to contest certain other points
in the allied proposals.
5. The Nationalists object to the
demilitarization of Thrace and Mar
mora, but no objection 81 raised to
fortification of the Dardanelles.
6. Soviet Russia, Ukraine, and all
countries bordering on be Black sea
shall be- represented In the confer
ence.
7. In the event of acceptance of the
foregoing conditions the Nationalists
agree to an armistice conference at
,Mudania with the allied generals.
8. Three days after the Mudania
conference the proposed peace nego-
tiations shall begin at Smyrna.
Isma Pasha, commander-in-chief
. on the western front, will represent
the Nationalists at the armistice con-
ference, while Mustapha Kemal Pa
sha will be spokesman at the Smyrna
conference.
