Portland, Ore, Sept. 19.-After an
extended debate in which was discussed
the whole matter of the concordat-
the proposed arrangement whereby
bishops of the Protestant Episcopal
church in the United States would be
enabled to ordain ministers In the Con-
gregational church-the house of depu-
ties in convention here Tuesday adopt
ed finally an amendment to the con-
stitution which was proposed to remove
a barrier against such proposed ordi-
nations.
The amendment had been adopted in
the present general convention. 1t
provides for the insertion of the words
Ito minister in this church" and enables
Episcopal bishops to ordain clergymen
who do not subscribe to all the doc
trines of the Episcopal church. 1t
was proposed to make possible further
legislation to put the machinery Of
the concordat into motion.
Relations of the Episcopal church
with the Orthodox and Old Catholic
churches of the Near East were dis
cussed in the house of deputies, which
concurred in resolution in the house
of bishops placing the latter of such
relations in the hands of the bishops
with power to act in the interval be-
fore the next general convention.

commission be appointed to take up

INQUEST PLANNED
To FIX CAUSE Of
DISASTER IN MINE
Bodies of Nine Recovered and
Brought to Surface of
Kennedy.

Jackson, Calf, Sept. 19.-(By The
Associated Press. Bodies of five of
the At miners entombed % days by
fire in the Argonaut gold mine were
brought to the surface Tuesday. The
United States bureau of mines crew
wrapped the bodies in canvas where
they were found Monday night in the
4,350-foot level of the Argonaut and
carried them through the Kennedy mine
adjoining.
Three of those brought out were
identified
A coroner's jury will be sworn
Wednesday by Mrs. Lola Potter, the
coroner, to view the Inflated miners
An inquest probably will be held Thurs
day, at which an endeavor will be made
to establish the cause of death. 1t is
not expected the responsibility for the
disaster will be fixed
After the bodies were brought from
the underground workings, they were
conveyed to a building on the Argonaut
approximately a mile from the Ken
nedy shaft and placed In coffins. Eff
forts will be made to identify all of
the disasters victims.
Crowds Kept Away
Persons without passes or business
at the Kennedy mine were kept off
the property and there was no demon
stration when the rescue crews ap-
peared at the collar of the Kennedy
shaft with their human burdens. Red
Cross workers remained at the homes
of the widows and orphans of the vic
TINS of the disaster, making arrange
ments for their immediate care, and
the funerals.
The district attorney Of AmadOr
county. T. G. Negrich, is expected to
question the witnesses at the inquest.
Among the witnesses will be, ii was
announced, the engineer on duty at the
Argonaut before the fire started and
the engineer who relieved him and was
on duty when the fire was discovered.
A check of the dead showed seven
of the victims were born in the United
States, 20 in Italy, 13 in Jugo -Slavia,
and four were of Spanish or Mexican
ancestry. Others could not be checked.
The state compensation fund is ex-
pected to pay about 100000 to the
dependents of the victims of the mine
disaster. In addition. the state allows
800 for each interment and the Ar
gonaut company had added $50 to this
amount in each case.
Says Fire Unavoidable.
f. A. Stent, vice president of the
Argonaut company, said he felt the fire
was unavoidable and his company had
done everything possible to rescue the
men. He declared he would welcome
an official investigation.
Four more bodies of the Argonaut
mine victims were brought to the sur
face late Tuesday night, making the
total number brought up nine. 1t has
not been definitely decided when the

WOMAN ADMITS TALE
Of SHAME To PROVE
HER LOVER GUILTY
COnfesses i'm Court That Man
Other Than Husband Is
Father of Her Child.

South Bend, Ind. Sept. 19.-The
sudden dramatic intimation hurled at
Mrs. Augusta Tiernan by Attorney
Samuel Parker in the form of q
question that her husband had pre-
viously doubted the paternity of her
second child, thus causing an open
break between the two, was the
outstanding feature of the second
days hearing of the case, in which
Mrs. Tiernan charges that Harry
Poulit and not her husband, a Notre
Dame law professor, is the father
of her third child, 10 months old.
Before the significance of the
question had been sensed by the
large crowd which again packed the
council chambers or before Prose
cutor Floyd Jeilison had time to
object to the question, Mrs. Tiernan
was on her feet dramatically deny
ing the inference. In a voice shak-
ing with anger and scorn, she
called to the defense attorey to
'stop that"
Don't you dare intimate such a
thing" Mrs. Tiernan cried, while
her husband, who had partly risen to
his feet, resumed his seat and the
gallery broke into cheers for the
woman who has voluntarily taken the
stand and barred in detail her story
of shame and deceit in order to
make her alleged "betrayer" also
suffer for their joint sin.
The day was almost entirely given
over to an exacting cross-examination
of Mrs. Tiernan by Attorney Parker,
leading counsel of the defense.
He questioned the professors wife
for more than four hours, taking up
her story of her alleged illicit romance
with Poulin step by step in an effort
to break down her story. Mrs. Tier
nan remained mistaken in her testi-
mony.
Late in the afternoon, after Prose
| cutor Jellison had concluded his re-
direct examination Of Mrs. Tiernan,
her husband, Professor Tiernan, plain
ly showing the effects of the trying
ordeal, was called to the stand. After
a few preliminary routine questions,
| the prosecutor began inquiring into the
marital relations of the professor and
Mrs. Tiernan at the time Mrs. Tiernan
says she and Poulin engaged in their
surreptitious amours
This question brought an immediate
objection from the defense counsel and
lengthy argument ensued between the
attorneys as to just how far nus
bands testimony is admissible IN a
case of this peculiar character. Thls
debate was still in progress when the
hearing was adjourned at 3 O'Clock
to be resumed Wednesday morning

PISTOL IN DOUBLE
MURDER IS FOUND;
ARRESTSEXPECTED
Widow of Slain Rector and
Brother Are Questioned by
Detectives.

New Brunswick, N. j., Sept. 10
(By the Associated Press.)-Discovery
of the pistol with which the Rev. Ed
ward Wheeler Hall, rector OF the
Church of st. John the Evangelist,
and his young choir leader, Mrs. Flea
nor Reinhardt Mills, were SLAIN,
brought the investigation Of the mystic
rious double murder near to its close
Tuesday night.
While officials of Middlesex and
Somerset counties refused to repeat
early optimistic predictions OF an ar,
rest within q given time, 1t was learned
that the custodian OF the small county
isil at SomerviIle had been instructed
to prepare for the receipt of at least
one prisoner.
County Detective David, of Middle
sex, who found the pistol,-a black au-
tomatic-refused to say where he had
gotten it, or whom he suspected OF be-
ing it's owner. Ownership of the weap-
on was being traced, he said, and an
arrest might be expected as soon as
that procedure had been completed.
Handkerchief as Clue
Earlier in the day detectives had
come into possession OF a woman
handkerchief. pierced with what ap-
kerchief had been picked up near the
SPOT on the abandoned Phillips farm
In Somerset county where the bodies
of the rector and Mrs. Mills were
found. Ownership of this lace bound
square, if it can be established, may
furnish valuable evidence in support OF
the theory that man and woman TO-
gether surprised the minister and Mrs
Mills and that one of the two slew
them after a struggle between the two
women.
Nearly all day long-save for a
brief respite while they attended tn'
simple funeral of Mrs. Mills-tht
slain woman's husband, James Mills
and her daughter, Charlotte, were clos
eted with officials in Prosecutor
Strikers office, undergoing a minute
examination. When they were dis
missed shortly after o'clock, Assist
ant Prosecutor Noonan and Detective
David said that Mills was definitely
out of it" and was under no suspicion
whatever.
Widow Under Fire
Mrs. Hall, wealthy widow of th'
slain clergyman, and her brother, vii
liam Stevens, had been summoned tc
appear after Mills and his daughter
DuL tuey ldlef were InlOrmeu luts
need not come. When examination OF
this pair is resumed, it is understood
Mrs Hall and Willie, ,"-as he is com
monty known-will be quizzed, espe
cially as to their movements last
Thursday night and early Friday
morning IL was in this period thai
the murders were accomplished
Mrs. Hall already has told the au
thorties that she was 'the woman in
the polo coat" who, witnesses say
entered the Hall residence about 2:45
o'clock Friday morning. She had beer
to the church with Willie" she said
to see if her husband were there Mill,
says he visited the church about tn,
same hour in the search of his missing
wife, but saw nothing of Mrs. Hall OF

AGREEMENT ON FACT
FINDING COAL BILL
House Withdraws Clause Pro-
hibiting Miners, Operators
on Commission.

Washington, Sept. 19.-Senate and
house conferees reached an agreement
late Tuesday on the administration fact

from its provision prohibiting mine

STAMP OUT CHRISTIANITY"

Smyrna, Sept. 19.-(By the Asso-

president Harding's message to con-
gress, in which he vetoed the bonus
bill, appears on page two.)
Washington, Sept. 19.-President
Harding vetoed the soldiers bonus bill
Tuesday, informing congress in a writ
ten message that while he was in ac-
cord with ''the avowed purpose of the
measure, he did not subscribe to its
provisions.
The executives action was regarded
generally in Washington as making i'm
possible a bonus for the World war
veterans, at least for some time to
come, as it appeared to be almost GER
tain that the veto would be sustained
by the senate. A vote In the house was
planned for Wednesday with senate
action to follow later In the day or on
Thursday.
Mr.. Harding set forth a number of
reasons for returning the bill to the
house without his approval
These included:
Failure of congress to provide
means of financing.
That inevitably the bonus would
mean increased taxation.
That the legislation would wipe
out everything thus far accom-
pIished to reduce government ex-
penditures wherever possible.
That a peace bestOwai on the
ex-service men was "perverslen
of public funds" and suggested
that future defense Is to be In
spIred by compensation rather than
consciousness of duty to flag and
country"
That to add one-sixth of total
sum of the public debt for distrl-
button among less than 100000
of 100000 people would UNDER
mine confidence on which the ma
ti0n's credit was buiIded and "es-
tablish the precedent of distrihut-
Ing public funds whenever the pro-
posaI and the numbers affected
make it seem politically appealing
That the $4,000, ,O0o, 900 of ma
turing public debt In the next six
years would be difficult to meet
without adding the complication OF
added borrowings on account of
bonus.
That the adjusted service cer-
tificate plan of payment, with its
bank and government loan provl-
sions, was little less than certl-
fled Inability of the government to
pay and invited practice of sac
riflcial barter" by the veterans.
That the bonus would not dimln-
ish the later obligations In the way
of pensions TO the World war vet
Grams.
Asserting that this obligation would
''cost more billions than | venture to
suggest" the president declared that q
rational financial policy is necessary

Paris, Sept. i9.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press s)-The calling of
peace conference for the settle
ment of the Turkish problem prob
ably will be the chief result of the
meeting at the foreign office
"Wednesday morning at which the
French premier, M. Polncare; the
British secretary for foreign at
fairs, Lord Curzon, and the Italian
ambassador to France, Count
Sforza, will discuss the entire sub

N that certain preiiminarles OF
peace will be decided upon by the
representatives of these three pow
ers, which are so closely inter-

Officials of the French govern
ment were confident that Great
Britain had materially modified
her helIigerent attitude In the
Turkish crisis. and 1t was freely
predicted that the British troops
would soon be withdrawn from the
Asiatic side of the straits, leaving
the Turks In supreme control In
Asia Minor.
It is reliably reported that Lor
Curzon comes to Paris in concilla
tory mood and strongly favors a
