BRITISH CABINET ACTION
 A SURPRISE IN FRANCE


 Paris, Oct ls (By. the A. P.).-Nevs of the resignation of Lloyd George and his cabinet caused much excitement and some surprise in French political circles. but apparently no chagrin.
 The chamber of deputies was in ses. sion when the news arrived and spread rapidly among the members. Immediate ly the excited deputies quit their benches. leaving the orator of the moment with hardly an ear lent to his discussion of the anti-prof rofteering bill
 Rushing to the lobbies.s the deputies gathered in little groups and discussed the reports from London with various ex- pressions of feeling. By no stretch of the imagination could it be said that any spirit Tof melancholy was noticeable in thetr reactions to the enws k. of Lloyd Georges downfall >. As a matter of fact, the nevs was ceiVed with expressions of. joy in many quarters, especially among the conserz.- : tive and center groups. The radicals a nd socialists. seemed to fear that the f,,tnre British government might be reactimarv E,douard Herriot, leader of the ra,iicsi party, said: This may not mean ths sn5 ot Lloyd George; probably he is inst craving back in order to jurnr, further :, Andre Tardiue, the form e- French l;gh com missioner to the United States. ran to a teleohoen to tell 'clemenceau what h b.d happened.

ANDREW BoNAR LAW NOT
 RELIsHED BY THE FRENCH

Paris. Oct IS (By the A. P.).-rhere is no tendency on the part of the French government to rejoice over the passing of Lloyd George and his cabinet. This was given definite assertion in official quar- ters. In general, the feeling seems to be that while Lloyd George was sometimes bad enough in his attitude toward the French position, Andrew Bonar Law might be worse. -..
 The foreign office declined to make any statement on the downfall of the Lloyd George government
 Officials who frankly resented the atti- tude of Lloyd George toward France on many occasions pointed out tonight that France might find herself faced with a new British cabinet much more severe toward the French position than Lloyd George had ever been. Those in official quarters reveal considerable anxiety over tonight.s dispatches saying that MT. Bonar Law would form new cabinet.
 This anxiety is due to recent letter which Mir, Bonar Law wrote to the on

London, Oct. 19.-(By The A. PA Like President Roosevelt. David Iiovd jeorge, speaking as prime minister of Great Britain, would gladly affirm. 1T like my job"
 This has been the attitude of Mr Lloyd George when friends told him d,,r- ing the last stages of his seven hsra years at the helf of the government @ @slat ne was carrying burden too heavy TOT any man to bear; this has been the Iace ne has presented to his countrymen lnrougnout the four years of after-war reconstruction. His attitude has bee1 that of a man seldom tired and never respondent. He was essentially a fight. er' wh oalvays took the offensive against his enemies when they thought they had driven him into corner. And thro,,eb- out all he was taking everything tha4 came with pure enjoyment.

Complications Ahead
 For The 4DIy' Navy
British Protest of Ship Seiz-
 ure is Intended to Become
 Retroactive To Apply to { Previous Seizures.

Washington, Oct. 1s.-Representn- tions of the British government to the state department, In protesting against seizure beyond tho three-rnile limit of the Canadian schooner Emerald, held as a liquor smuggler suspect. were of wider scope, 1t was learned today. than at first known. In addition to dealing with the specific case of the Emerald. the British communication presented the view that the recent American executive order limiting prohibition en- forcernent operations to territorial wa ters should sxply to all previous seiz- ures of British craft where it had not been established as a matter of fact that the vessel was sending contra band ashore in her own boats.
 The American answer to this claim that the governments present policy should have retroactive effect and auto matically release a considerable num- ! Der of. British vessels seized as snug glers will be- deferred until official data as to the Emerald case is at hand. The state department transmitted the Brit fish Communication 10 the treasury de partment today with a request for a statement of the facts of the Emerald seizure. A detailed official report from the officers responsible for the seizure 1 has not. reached treasury officials and | ll may Dt foOAAlS NAa1 o bSlOiC NAiS Sr--rN department can reply to the British memorandum.
 i The claim for retroactive effect of thu | administration announced policy on liquor smuggling seizures presents { possibility of complications since som' of the cases involved are now befor' the courts It is understood nere Una a number of tine seizures made prior t President Hardings order restricting l activities to the three-rniie limit of ter ritorial waters do not set up the clain I that the ship was in touch with shor' by means of her own boats. The Brit 1 ish memorandum contends that sucl
 vessels automatically should be re leased and any property taken aboart them and also held should be returned
 What legal grounds such action migh establish for subsequent damage claim I against the American government by owners of craft which had been seize I and released. no officials here cared t
 discuss.
 In any event the legality unde
 American law and American interpre
 tation of international law is in pro cess of court determination and a con
 trolling decision may be handed dow
 before the questions raised, by tn
 British protest in the Emerald cas have been threshed out in diplomat way.

Out of the names of a multitude of can didates for the national commandership those of William F. Deegan. of New York and Alvin M. Owsley, of Denton, Tex as, stood forth most prominently, if the gossip of the lobhdes and committee rooms was any indication.
 Owsley, in his report as head of the Legion's Americanization commission had laid stress upon what he terms the necessity for 100 per cent. American this country for an indefinite period, cor rection of alleged deficiencies in text books in dealing with the war, with the result that the Germans have been giy- en too favorable a report, according to Mir. %Owsley. Deegan has chosen as his principal policy continuation of the bonus fight.
 Both endorse the policy and the record of Hanford MacNider. the present com mander.
 Matthew Murphy. of Birmingham, Ali whose name was suggested several days ago by Milton J. Foreman, of Chicago as promising candidate had practical ly withdrawn from the race tonight Another name which continues to bs discussed is that of Joseph F.

'sTEENTH PHASE oRS THE HALL

New Brunswick, N. l.. Oct, 1s. (By the A. P.l-The latest investigation in to the double-slaying of the Rev. Ed ward Wheeler Hall and Eleanor Rein hardt Mills, choir singer, which the au- thoritles have been guarding with such secrecy that they have considered 1t es- seniial to remove their official head quarters to Boundbrook, N. J., leads di-
 rectly into the home of ''one of the lead ing families of New Brunswick" 2 county official said tonight.
 This official declined to permit hi. Identity to be revealed in connection
 with the statement or the further com ment that it.was on the promise of thi:
 new investigation that Governor Ed
 wards last week granted the county au

 to continue their inquiry without stat supervision The official is known to b. very close to the county prosecutors and remains the one local official in an! way connected with the case in whicl citizens of New Brunswick appear |, repose any substantial confidence ''The authorities are in possession O something with which the public ha: not been acquainted and which is beins jeaiously guarded he said. We al sincerely believe that, it contains thu solution of the crime"
 Less than twenty-four hours after became known that the county prosecu 1 tors, through the obtaining of signeS
 statements, had built up theory tha the couple were slain in vacant shet
 more than four miles from the spo
 where their bodies were found, the au thorities were ridicuIing the story to night.
 "We're investigating it, yes" sail Prosecutor Beekman when he was ask | ed about this development, which con cerned two. autoists who reported hear 1 ing screams for help coming from tn barn. Tt seems highly improbable
 however,
 '.Ridiculous," was the only comnen Prosecutor Stricker would make. Examination of the floor of the build 1 ing. which was formerly used as ; school, is said to have failed to reyea any trace of blood stains. Asked aboi the report that two handkerchiefs ant combs had been found there, the polio
 were silent. They pointed out that 1 the murders took place in this shed, would have been necessary to carry tn bodies around or through New Bruns wick to- reach the Phillips farm wher
 they were found.

 also said that consideration was bein given to the possibility that Mrs. Mills diary in possession of the rector ha I been starting point of the crime, an I that the establishing of the actual tim 1 of it's discovery among his papers considered of great value in the case.
