DAUGHTER OF SLAIN

tree beside that of the Rev. Ed

prevent political gang" from
interfering with the Investigation.

tiaation is not beginning right. |
have received letters saying the
political gang is running things.
Can this be true? As my father
(James Mills. sexton of Rev. Halls
church) and I have no means to
get legal help. is there not some
way. dear governor. you could help
me find the murderer of my
mother"
Spurred by this and similar
claims of the fruitlessness of the
probe. Prosecutor Stricken, of Mid
dlcscX County. tonight announced
he was concentrating on the clue
that a secret elan. possibly the ku
that a secret clan was responsible
for the double X Hing.
Investigators called attention to
the package of letters Mrs. Mills
clutched when she hastened to the
lonely field near the Phillips arm.
The theory is that self-appointed
censors had obtained some of the al
legedly innocent but imaginative
notes which the Chorister had ad-
dressed to the pastor and summoned
them both to the Phillips farm for
an accounting. which ended in the
shootings.
Prosecutor Beekman applied to
the supreme court for permission to
exhume and re-eXamine the body of
Mrs. Mills to ascertain how many
bullets were fired into her.
This step was made necessary
when the prosecutor realized the
original report was incomplete and
at variance with the reports of 9TH
ers who examined the body.

Reparations Commission
Accedes to Demand of
Secretary Hughes.
TOTAL AMOUNT DUE

Congress Now Must Set
Up Machinery to Han
die Product.

Secretary of State Hughes has
worked out a plan whereby the
United States will be reimbursed
for the cost Of maintenance of the
American Army of Occupation on
the Rhine, it was learned on high
authority yesterday.
The reparations commission. after
consultation with the allied gov
ernments. it was stated officially.
has agreed formally to permit the
United States to receive its share
of German dyes without money pay
ment, as has been the practice here
tofore. The cost of these dyes Will
be credited on the American bill;
against Germany for the army of
occupation.
After consultation with the allied
governments the reparation com
mission, it is learned. has agreed
to this method of canceling the
American claim against Germany.
In the past the United States has
been receiving one-fifth of the total
German dyes rendered to the allies
as reparations. paying for them at
current market prices, however. TIE
American government never having
entered any claim against Germany.
Total Amount $256.OOO 900.
The total amount due the United
states for its upkeep of troops on
the Rhine up to April so of this
year was s254.097.297. according 20
the War Department. Since then,
because of the reduction in the
American forces. the claim has IN
creased to only slightly over s2S6'-
900 900.
Secretary of State Hughes last
spring entered a demand upon the
allies for consideration of 'hls
claim over general reparations.
maintaining that il held lien over
all other payments by Germany.
This claim. landing in the allied
capitals as a bombsbell. was referreI

Mustapha Kemal has sent 4

that the Turkish Nationalists are not

the time limit has almost expired,
Kemal shows no sign of evacuatinS

Distrust of Kemal is increasing in
British quarters. 1t is believed
j strong auti-British and Bolshevil

The allies have asked Kemal "a

PARIS. Sept. 27.-Fesrs that the
Greek revolution will encourage the
Turks to march into Thrace and
reject the allied peace terms are
entertained in Official quarters,
where anxiety over the situation
in the Near East is increasing.
Military authorities declare that
the Greeks would not now be able
to hold Thrace against the Turks.
The Greek army in Thrace is re-
ported here as infected with Boil
shevism and likely to mutiny at
any moment. But officials believe
that the real revolt in the army
will be a revolt against the con-
tinuation of the war. The present
insurrection. offic ais believe. is be-
ing stirred up by a few officers and
lacks the support OF the bulk OF
the army. which is sick Of war.
