Church gets
FULL chimes
Two Extra Bells, Gift of
Gambrills, Formerly Re-
ceived by Grace
ANY COMPOSITION
MAY BE PLAYED

Two new bells, completing the
chimes recently installed in Grace
NJ f. Church. were presented 10 the
church at the morning services yes-
terday The chimes we're presented
by Caleb f. Burchenal in behalf OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Melville Gambrill, who
donated the other chimes last year.
The gift was accepted in behalf OF
the church by John S Mullin, pres
ident OF the Board Of Trustees.
The bells or chimes a. in natural
and "A" fiat, were set in place on
Saturday afternoon by Meneeley and
Company, OF New York. the maxi
ers OF the other chimes.
The reason given by Mr.. Gambrin
for the addition OF the two bells,
which places the entire set on an
even higher standing that the Cor
nell Chimes, was to provide a wider
range OF selections which the set
could cover It was found that many
OF the old gospel hymns could not be
played on the chimes. and last
Armistice Day, when the celebra-
tion committee requested that The
Star-Spangled Banner" be played on
the chimes, 1t was found necessary
to strike false notes in place of the
high notes, Mr.. Gambrill determined
on adding to the set With the two
new bells. the chimes now have a
range OF seven keys. The "A"
natural is pitched to the interna-
tional key.
The set OF sixteen bells weighs
about 1900 pounds. while with the
frame work from which it is sus-
pended in the tower. the weight is
more than thirteen tons. AS with
each OF the original fourteen bells.
the two new bells are named and
have inscriptions upon them. The
"A" natural ben is named 'Har-
mony," and the "A" fiat bell bears
the name OF Thanks"
To play the bells now II is neces-
sary for the musician, Norris c.
Morgan. to go up into a room in
the tower. where the Ginning con-
sole, with sixteen leaders, is locat-
ed. In playing, Mr.. Morgan grasps
the levers connected with the leaders
and gives them vigorous strokes. 1t
is hoped in the near future, MEM
bers OF the church said yesterday
to have the chimes attached to the
organ.
Following the presentation service
the pastor the Rev. ]. w. r. SUM
walt, preached on the subject OF
THE Door" one OF his series OF
sermons on THE Claims That Jesus
Made" The service was well at
tended.

MONTANA POLITICS
CENTERS ON DIXON
Governor Is Storm Center,
But Not a Candidate, in
Senate Race.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

HELENA, Mont, October 5.-Politics
in Montana, as in Iowa, Wisconsin
and North Dakota, is topsy turvy.
Persons-and not parties-are domin-
ant. There are no national issues.
Whether a man labeled republican
or another labeled democrat goes to
the United States Senate turns on
state issues and here. as In North
Dakota. the democratic candidate is
a conservative. while the man who
won the republican primaries Is tied
up with the radical elements to such
an extent that old-lne republicans
will be found supporting the demo-
cratic ticket in large numbers.
Speaking of persons, instead of
parties, Gov. Joseph Dixon is respon-
sible for the upheaval in Montana.
He will be remembered as having
represented this state in the United
States Senate and as one of the
original insurgents who managed Col.
Roosevelts pre-convention fight for
the presidency in 1912. He was elect
ed governor two years ago on the
regular republican ticket. He won
many democratic votes because he
was considered conservative. as
compared with B. K. Wheeler, former
United States attorney, who, with the
help of the Non-Partisan League, be-
came the democratic nominee for
governor.
Democrats Back Wheeler.

AGREEMENT IS REACHED.
Pact Expected to Be Signed at Mu-
dania Today.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS. October 5.-An agreement
has been reached by the conference
of allied and Turkish military lead
ers at Mudania, and will be signed
some time today. according to private
dispatches received here.
The main lines of the agreement,
says the Figaro, are:
First, the British and Turks both
to withdraw from the neutral zone
on the southern shore of the Darda-
nelleS, the British 10 Gallipoli and
the Turks behind the line formed. by
the rivers Granicous and Scamander;
Second. the Turks agree that the
allies remain in ConstantinQple dur
ing the peace negotiations. on con-
dition that Kemalist civil authorities
are also installed there.
Third. the Greek army to evacu-
ate Thrace within ten days. If the
Greek government refuses to give the
necessary orders. the allied fleets are
to blockade the Greek ports and the
1<emalist forces cross the Dardanelles
and drive the Greek troops out of
Thrace.
The dispatches do not say whether
the Greek representatives accepted
these conditions.
ConstantinopIe advices late last
night said the Mudania conference
was on the verge of an agreement on
all points of the Turkish proposals
with the exception of that relating
TO the allied occupation of the west
ern line of the Martha river in
Thrace. and that argument on this
was still proceeding. The allies
were said to have agreed to turn over
Thrace to the Turkish army within
thirty days and to have secured the
assent of the Turks to the establish
ment of a definite line of demarca-
tion between the British and Kemal-
lists in the Chanak zone. placing them
out of rifle shot of each other.
