.ARMISTICE PROGRAM
IS ABANDONED HERE

Because a widespread observance of
Armistice day would throw two legal
holidays within one week, and possibly
interfere with election, Lawrence Jes-
sup, chairman of the Armistice day
committee of the American Legion, an
nounced the decision of that body to
abandon plans for a general celebra-
ton.
Members of the committee had been
going forward with plans for the af-
fair, until they found that bankers
and merchants were doubtful as to
the wisdom of having two holidays in
one week Election falls on Tuesday,
Nov T. and Armistice day falls on the
following Saturday
II was the opinion of members of
the committee that plans for a parade
and afternoon program at the Coliseum
should not be carried out if they were
likely to interfere in any way with
election day.
The Armistice day dance at the Coli
scum will. however. be held as usual
Halberstadt's orchestra will furnish
music. The dance will start at $50

FOLLOWED DISCLOSURE
OF CRIME LOCATION
BY GERALD p. ovERToN

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. j., Oct. 19-
Prosecutor Beekman dropped out OF
sight during the night and it is re-
ported he is questioning a suspect Sec
reilly in connection with the murder
of the Rev Edward w. Hall anG Mrs.
Eleanor Mills.
This is understood to have disclos-
ures that the rector and his choir sing
er sweetheart were slain in cold blood
behind school house on the Red Bank
road four miles from the abandoned
Phillips farm where the bodies were
found.
If the person under suspicion proves
an alibi, Beekman will reappear am
nothing more will be heard of the mat
ter.
These new secret tactics of the pros
ecution were adopted because the at.
torneys said newspaper reporters in
terfered with their Investigations.
Others Disappear
A number Of detectives who have
been working on the case, as well as
several state policemen, disappeared
the same time as Beekman.
Two men-the owner Of bus line
and an employe of Rutgers college
have come forward with testimony
that they heard a woman shrieking
for mercy behind the school house on
the Red Bank road about 1920 p. m.
Sept. Ia. They heard the woman cry

A big automobile was discerned
standing In the darkness beside the
road near the school house.
A few minutes later this automobile
passed them at terrific speed. Il is
the theory of the authorities that at
that time he big car was being used
to carry the bodies of the slain cou-
pie to the Phillips farm.
Car Whisks Away
About 20 minutes later the men tes-
titled the same car wfisked by them
again-this time returning toward
New Brunswick from, the direction of
the Phillips farm where the corpses
were laid out.
They said a man crouched over the
wheel. One report was that they said
there was woman sitting beside the
driver but this could not be confirmed

REGISTRATION FIGURES
REVEAL Indifference
BY LAWRENCE MARTIN
United Press Staff Correspondent


Copyright. 1922, by United Press)
WASHINGTON, Oct. 19-The ex-
tent of popular indifference to the ap-
peal of politics this year is revealed in
registration figures compiled by the
United Press.
These figures emphasize. two facts
previously apparent to political lead
ers from their general observation.
THAT the public generally is about
so per cent less interested in this
years congressional election than it
was in the presidential campaign in
1920
2-That the only places where inter-
est .approximated or exceeds that of
1920 are those where local issues have
aroused partisanship.

LONDON, Oct 19-The Unionist
caucus, meeting at the Carlton club, to
day voted 1856 to 81 in favor of ap-
pealing to the country at a general
election as a united conservative
party.
The vote carried with it the party's
announced intention of having a con-
servative premier if successful at the
polls.
This amounted to reputation of
the coalition and of Lloyd George.
Although head of the coalition gov
ernment, Lloyd George was considered
a Liberal.
Following the vote the Unionists ad
journed. The first to emerge from the
Carlton club predicted that Chamber
lain would resign and that Bonar Law
would take up the conservative lead
ership.
Chamberlain Loses
Some of those who attended the
meeting interpreted the vote as ap-
proving independent action by the
Unionist party and insisted that the
poll was tantamount to the defeat of
Chamberlaid.
Although Chamberlain obviously
failed to sway the handpicked aud
ience to the support of Lloyd George
he did secure the adoption of quail
flying clause which expressed willing
ness to cooperate with the Liberals
Political observers generally agreed
that the Unionist party's identity is
to be preserved as result of the
action today. 1t is probable that all
three parties-Lberals, Unionists and
Labor-will appeal to the country in
a general election.
Neither can form a government.
however, unless one has a majority of
7S9 votes in the house of commons
In case no party can command a
majority, new coalition government
is the only way out. Whether or not
Lloyd George would be acceptable to
a new coalition is question to be
determined.
Caucus is Jeered
Several hundred of Lloyd Georges
political foes hooted and jeered on the
sidewalk as Chamberlain's hand-pick-
ed unionist caucus met
The "die-hards member of the un-
ionist party who are opposed to con
tinuation of support of the coalition

tions against Chamberlain and Sir
Robert Horne, avowed supporters of
the prime minister when they entered.
Judas" was the cry that went up
as Lord Birkenhead alighted from his
car and hurried to the shelter Of the
club.
Today's meeting of the unionist or
conservative party was brought about
as the result of the political crisis
caused by the policies of the Geor-
gian government both at home in the
Near East.
The crisis. according to political OBJ
servers will not be finally settled by
the meeting at the Carlton Club. The
