 BLAMED IN REPORT

 With Mine Riot
By Associated Press

Marion. H., September ss.-The special grand jury Investigating the 22 killings at the Lester strip mine. June 21 and 22. today returned 16z additional indictments. bringing the total to 214, and in a partial report censured the "state administration" Adjutant General Black of Illinois, Sheriff Melvin Thaxton of Williamson, (this) county and local police.'
 The jury, after making it's report, recessed until October 23.
 '"The atrocities and cruelties of the murders" the report emphasized, 'are beyond the power of words to de- scribe. A mob is always cowardly but the savagery of this mob in it's re- lentless brutality is almost unbe- lievable. The indignities heaped upon the dead did not end until their bodies were inferred in unknown graves"
 The jury returned a total of A in- dictments for murder, 59 for con spiracy to commit murder, 5S for riot ing and 54 for assault to murder.
 Telegram Was One Cause
 The report stated telegram from John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers of America. was one of the causes of the riot. The telegram was to State Senator Will liam Sneed, district president of the miners union, and declared the union men "are justified in treating this crowd as an outlaw organization and in viewing it's members in the same light as they do any other com mon strike breakers" This telegram was posted at various places. the re- port declared. and shortly thereafter the strip mine was attacked after hardware stores had been rifled for fire arms and weapons.
 The weapons were either taken by force or upon the verbal assurance that the local would pay for them" the report amplified.
 Among those indicted today were Hugh Willis. district board member of the Illinois Mine Workers. who was charged with murder and as- sault to commit murder, and Will

ATLANTA BUSINESS DISTRICT SUFFERS
 HEAVY FIRE LOSS
Damage Estimated at From S700,000 to $1,5O0,00 When Flames Start in
 Heart of Retail Area
By Associated Press

Atlanta, September 24--Aftcr doing damage variously estimated by the police and fire department off cials at from S700,0OO to 1,500, ,0OO, a fire that started in the heart of Atlanta's retail business district about midnight apparently had been brought under control shortly be- fore 2 o'clock this morning.
 Starting from an explosion on the second floor of the Kress 5 and To- cent store. according to Robert Wag- goner, lieutenant of police, the fire quickly spread through the rear of the building zei dn,nped acroes an alley to the ChEds hotel sending more than .1s0 guests scurrying scan tily attired to the streets for safety.
 Surrounded on all sides by the buildings bounding Whitehall, Broad and Alabama streets and the West ern and Atlantic railroad yards, the flames quickly jumped to other ad- joining buildings.
 The l.. F. M. department store. A. four-story building on the north side. was almost completely gutted, but Benjamin Fitzpatrick, local manager or that concern, stated that he could uob SoNlndte the JOSS. He stated. however that 1t was completely cov- cred by insurance. Chief among other heavy losers were Eiseman' 's clothing store, the Ch.lds hstel and other smaller establishments.
 Surrounded, as it was the fire was difficult to get to and it looked for a time as though it would wipe out the entire block. Soon after Fire Chief Cody had been given aid from the soldier fire fighters from Fort MePherson, and the departments at Decatur and Esstpoint had added their strength to the Atlanta forces, the blaze was checked.
 c. F. Clifford. resident manager of kress', would not estimate the loss his company had suffered. The building occupied by the Kress com pany along with the stock of goods that firm had has been almost com pietely destroyed.
 There was nothing on the sec- ond floor to cause an explosion Mir. Clifford stated, adding that he did not know what caused the fire
 There had been no injuries re- ported to the police early this morn ing

 Announced
By AsnocInted Presa

New Brunswick, N. J., September 2S.-For the first time since the dis covery of the bodies of her husband. the Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall. and his choir leader. Mrs. Eleanor Rein hardt Mills, week ago, Mrs. Hall, the rectors widow. today received representatives of the press.
 They had previously tried unsue- cessfully to obtain some expression of opinion from her as to the mystery of what the authorities have de- cided was a double-murder commit ted probably on the night of Septem- Der 14.
 Mrs. Hall today was examined for over two hours by the prosecutors of Somerset and Middlesex counties. Then she issued signed statement accounting events leading up to the murder and giving her recollection of occurrences from before Mr. Hall disappeared until the bodies were found.
 Did you feel Jealous toward Mrs. Mills or anybody else?' she was asked tonight. Her reply was mo" She also denied having any suspi- cion of anybody who might have committed the murder.
 Did you ever hear any gossip about Mir. Hall and Mrs. Mills?"
 Again she said mo" She said she did not know who telephoned her husband at p. m-, Thursday, Sep tember 14. just before he left his home for the last time.
 Issues Statement
 Concerning tho events of the night Of September 14, when Mir. Hall dis appeared Mrs Halls statement said:
 MT. Hall was preparing to go out uH hA &.I- He answered from the extension up- stairs. as he happened to be there. I did not overhear the conversation.
 MT. Hall went out about 7.30, tell ing me that he was going over to the Mills to explain something that Mir. Mills did not quite understand in the doctors bill.
 MT. Hall was always early in coming home. Naturally was very much worried when he did not come h. About 2:3o o'clock my anxiety became so great that I reused my brother William and we went down to the church. thinking it possible that MT. Hall had stopped there for business as he frequently did and had fallen to sleep in his study. The church was locked and dark. then went around by the Mills house thinking some one might have been taken ill and that my husband had remained to give assistance, as he had stated that he was going there about the bill.
 .. House Was Dark
 The house was dark and I came directly home with my brother William.
 Friday. September Is, about a. m. I telephoned the police to learn if any accident had been reported. They had nothing to report. I took the Dodge car and started downtown thinking I might hear some news In front of the church I saw Mir. Mills. I stopped and asked him If Mir Hall had been to his house on the preceding evening. Mir. Mills said he had not seen him and so far as he knew MT Hall had not been there He added also that his wife had been missing. then came home and telephoned to MT. Halls sisters. I met them at the train around noon consulted with my sister-in-law and telephoned MT. Florance (Mr. Halls lawyer) who

The Kemalists must agree in re- turn not to enter the present neutral zone along the straits, nor make any crossing elsewhere, and must accept complete freedom of the Dardanelles, the Sea of Marmora and the Bos- phorus. preferably under the League of Nations
 The invitation. -'hich was cabled tonight by M. Poincare to Renal Pasha personally, urges an immedi- ate meeting of the allies and Turkish and Greek generals at Mudania to formulate terms of an armlstice pend ing the conference. It is regarded as very certain that Kemal will ac- cept the condl.'onr.
 May Enter League
 In addition to other concessions. Turkey is promised the support of the three allies for admission to tha League of Nations and also with drawa1 of the allied troops from Constantinople as soon as peace be- comes effective.
 The allied decision came as a big surprise, for as late as loon Brit'-a officials declared that Great Britain would not approve any of the Turx- ish claims in advance of the peace conference. The change in this pol icy came in the afternoon after an exchange of many messages between Lord Curzon and Premier Lloyd George and several long telephone conversations.
 Although the British tonight Insist that their chief demand, mainly free- dom of the straits, Is embodied in the conditions. 1t is generally con- ceded that this unanimour decision marks a reversal of policy on tho part of Great Britain, and is consid- cred here victory for French diplo- macy.
 NJ Poincare expressed the belief that the near east crisis is over and that all danger of clash is mast,

 and Prfvates Edward H. Kane.
 Henry Ray Nichols and Irving
 M. Whitney, all stationed at
 Mitchell field.
 A report of the accident as given out several hours later by the ad- jutant,s office at the field said that the plane had been inspected short ly before leaving the field and that the cause of the fatal accident probably never would be known"
 Soon after leaving the field" the report said, "the plane passed out of the rays of the huge searchlights which had been arranged and used in the night maneuvers. The plan ap- preached a steep angle and then sud- denly went into a nose dive.
 No Lights on Field
 There were no lights on the plane as it fell. The crash occurred some distance from the field"
 Arnold P. Evers of Amityville. who was driving on the main road to Garden City, stopped his car and crossed into the field where the plane was burning. He pulled the first of the bodies from the wreck.
 Major Weaver, commanding the field. who has ordered an immediate investigation of the accident, issued the following statement:
 This accident Is exactly like a number of other accidents in that the direct cause probably never will be known. The plane had been in- spected previous to the flight and was practically new"
 Although the plane fell in sight of thousands of persons and a De-Eav- Hand plane which was flying near the bomber at the time of the ac- cident landed in a field nearby with in Q few minutes, many conflicting reports which could not be con- firmed, were at once in circulation.
 An order from Major Weaver, stating that no information was to be given pending a preliminary ex- animation by army officers retarded the work of gathering the facts.
 Only a charred body was found in the seat in the plane which Lieu tenant Davis had occupied. He was 6 veteran of the World war and was officially credited with ono German plane. The bodies of Kane and Ben field were found clear of the wreck.
