= Most Of the facts in the New
Brunswick, n. j.. murder case are out
except that it has not been definitely
established who did fhe killing. There
is no longer any question that Rev.
Edwin Hall and Mrs. Mills, the wife
Of his sexton, had been very friendly
for a long time. Gossip has suggested
that and love lettarses have proved it.
Both Mrs. Hall and Sexton Mills had
been put wise by intimation, insinua-
ton and the like; but neither was dis
posed to believe anything wrong.
Neither of them are suspected of hav-
ing had anything to-, do with the kill
ing. Hall had other women friends,
and there are many facts and circum-
stances to suggest jealousy. Both Hall
and Mrs. Mills were called from their
homes by telephone early the night of
the killing; but whether by each other
or by some one else is not clear. The
bodies were found under an apple tree
on n farm on which there was an
abandoned furnished house. Both had
struggled with the assassin or aSsaS-
sins. Torn clothes and numerous bull
let and knife wounds are evidences Of
that. But after the killing they had
been laid out as carefully as if by an
expert undertaken, their clothing re-
arTanSed and Halls left arm at his
side and his right across the wonlan's
shoulder. His nose glasses were bal
anced at the proper angle and the knot
in his tie was exactly between the ends
of his collar, while his hat covered his
face. Scratches on, the face of Mrs
Mills and rents in her clothing showed
that she had been through q terrible
struggle for her life, but her hair had
been carefully brushed back and her
dress arranged so thGt mono of the
rents would show. Her arms and legs
We're arranged rs If for burial. Detec-
tives and newspaper men say that
church and social people are doing all
they can TO smooth the matter over as
easily as possible. 1t is believed that
full information will go to extend a
scandal already great. 1t has come
out that following a dinner party some
weeks ago Mrs. Mills thought her cof-
fee had been poisoned and she suspect
ed her hostess. Several women had
been saying bitter things about Mrs.
Mills. Willie Stevens, the 50-year-o old
brothor-in-Aw OF Mr.. Hell, with the
mind of 4 child, is not being consider
ed Us a possible factorlin the case.

The authorities Of two counties,
according to a New. Brunswick, n. j.,
dispatch, of Saturday, admitted that
every clue concerning the double muir
der of the Rev. Edward w. Hall, rec
tor of the Church Of st. John the
Evangelist, and Mrs. Eleanor Mills,
the wife of the church sexton, whose
bodies were found under an apple tree
q week ago Saturday, has carried them
into nothing more than labyrinth Of
theories leading nowhere. The fear
tl'at the drama that preceded the
death of the rector and the seXtons
wife would never be recountcd seemed
evident in the minds of the detectives
on the case now. Mrs. Hall, the wild
ow of the murdered rector, has been
tacitly absolved of connection with the
crime. Questions by detectives and
police has resulted in an explanation
satisfactory to them, of Mrs. Halls
time from Wednesday, the day before
the double murder is believed to have
been committed, until Saturday, when
tie bodies were found. Not one per-
son as yet thrown into the limehght OF
the investigation has been judged Of
sufficient value to the prosecution to
warrant being held. Henry Stevens,
III IOlllGI vi Ildil' iNbti h'" W -''"

spent in New York, where. he said, he
Yves packingj for a trip TO Europe. Of
ficial1 of neither of the two. counties
prosecuting the case have concerned
themselves with him because of the
fact that he was in Layellette, NJ j.,
on the night of the double murder.
Despite the strict secrecy which Pros
ecutor Stricken of MiddleseX cornty,
and Prosecutor Beekrnan of. SO. rset
county, have thrown about their per-
ations, the belief is prevalent that they
are at the end of the numerous clues
advanced upon the discovery Of the
bodies. They have gone over the lives
of both Mrs. Mills and Mrs. Hall in
tie finest detail. They have tracked
down theories and suppositions all to
no avail. The remaining possibility
that some one may confess the crime
is the hope that is now common.

British and Turks.

The attitude of the British govern
nent to the Near Eastern" question
crmpels the approval of all who ad-
mire a masterful exhibition of pluck
and courage.
OF course it is useless to inquire very
deeply into the question of motive, eX-
cept that it is clearly a matter Of self
pl escrvation.
All peoples and all religions look
alike to Great Britain in matters in
volving the honol, prestige and perpe-
tuity of her mighty empire. Time and
again she has used the Turks in this
behalf, and just as quickly, of course,
she will fight the Turks when they
seem TO stand in the way, as they are
doing at the present time.
Control of Constantinople and the
straits carries with it the domination
of all the rich trade between Europe
and Asia, and domination of that trade
means the mastery of both continents.
England has long been the virtual
master of both continents, and she un-
derstands full we'll that relinquish-
ment of that mastery will mean the
disintegration of her empire.
That the Turks ought to continue in
control of Corstantinoplc, their capi-
tai, seems reasonable, and it is not less
reasonable that she should dominate
the straits that constitute the great
commercial highway through her do
minions; but under all the circum-
stances the seeming rcasonablcness of
this proposition is of small conSe-
qucnce to Great Britain.
Turkish control of the straits, or
joint Turkish and Russian control
would be ruinous to Great Britain and
al western Europe, for that matter,
and Great Britain knows it.
To he sure. Russia and Turkey
might make all kinds of promises rs to
the freedom Of the straits; but Great
Britain understands the danger OF q
time when these promises may be vio
lated and she will take no chances.
Heretofore by tacit agreement, it
has been the understanding that
Italy and France stood pledged to help
preserve the freedom of the straits;
but for various reasons these cOun-
tries showed signs of backing down.
For instance, in addition to dominat-
ing Syria, France has among her out
lying PROVINCES millions Of restless
Mohammedans who are bitterly op-
poSed to coercion Of Turkey. Besides
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1922-09-26

being in about the same position as
France in this regard Italy sees in the
coercion of Turkey the strengthening
Of Greece, n rival for empire III the
Mediterranean.
In her courageous stand against
Turkey England has more to lose than
either France or Italy. because she has
more at stake. Her Mohammedan
population is greater than that of
either Italy or France, and this Mo-
hammedan population is bitterly re-
sentful of activities against Turkey.
All understand, however that If Tur-
key wins in this matter, the probable
ity that it will only. be a matter of
time until the Mohammedan posses
sions of all three countries will smash
through the restraint in which they
are now held.
Seeing the situation clearly, Eng
land has the courage to do right now
what she knows she will otherwise
have to do sooner or later, if she can
and understands too, that she is in
better position to meet the situation
now than she might, be later.

An immediate crisis has been averted
in the near eastern situation as the
result of allied conferences in Paris;
but yet nothing is certain as to what
NAV happen. Mustapha Kemal had
served notice that he was going to
cross the neutral zone into Thrace for
the purpose of pushing the Greeks and
taking possession Of eastern Thracc,
including Adrianople. The French and
Italian troops had been withdrawn,
Great Britain had refused to withdraw
her troops from Chanak, on the east
ern shore of the Dardanelles. 1t was
her announced purpose to resist the
passage of the Turks. even with the
small force available. Meanwhile the
diplomats in Paris reached an agree
ment whereby Mustapha Kemal was
invited to a conference in Venice on a
basis of giving the Turks back East
ern Thrace and allowing them to re-
sumo control Of Constantinople, with
the understanding that the straits are
to remain under international control,
preferably under the league Of ma
tions, in the membership of which the
Turks are to be included if the con-
ferring powers can bring such thing
about Kemal was notified by wire
and announced his willingness to go
into the proposed conference, which is
to be held within the next few days.
The As hour period having expired
while these negotiations were in pro-
gress, a force of LOO Turkish cavalry
advanced on Chanak. No shots were
fired: but as the result Of n conference
between officers, the Turks: Withdrew.
1t is explained that this force was COM
posed OF irregulars not belonging TO
the Turkish Nationalist army, and
therefore not under the immediate
command of Kemal. That, however, is
merely a diplomatic explanation. 80
fer the conference has settled nothing
except possible delay. 1t is the under
standing that Turkey is bound by
agreement to bring Russia into the
conference as one of the interested
parties. The Greek government, al
though disorganized and discounted,
has announced that it will not submit
to the restoration Of Thrace to the
Turks The British still have the
mastery in Constantinople, and they
have given it to be understood that
they are not going to yield anything.
