Will DIPLOMACY BEAT GuNs7

London. Sept. 22.-The question Of
peace or war in the Near East
seems to turn Friday night first upon
whether the question of the future
status of Thrace can be kept separate
and distinct from the question of neu-
trality and freedom of the Dardan-
elles and, second, whether the guns
begin to speak before the negotiations
between the allied representatives In
Paris have ended.
While there is not the slightest
diminution in the announced deter
mination of the British government
to uphold the neutrality of the straits
of the Dardanelles, a very significant
semi official statement issued FRI
day evening seems to indicate some
modification of the British policy
and its attitude toward Greece in
Thrace, which. it may be assumed, is
the outcome of the Paris negotiations
in which Lord Curzol the British
foreign secretary, participated.
This statement declared Great
Britain was seeking nothing for her
self but that she would insist on
naturalization of the Dardanelles and
free passage of the waterway under
the League of Nations or some other
international organization. All other
questions were secondary.

Washington, Sept. 22.-The entire
operating personnel of the railways OF
the country was called upon, Friday
by President Harding for "concen-
trated drive" for 80 days to proVlde
the Transportation facilities necessary
to meet the national coal emergency.
In a letter to Conrad Il. Spens,
vice president of the Chicago, Burning,
ton & Quincy railroad, who was named
Friday as federal fuel distributor under
the new coal distribution and anti
profiteering act, the president declared
that if the enthusiastic attention of
the railroads could be stimulated for
n month on the movement of coal and
handling of empties, I'VE could solve
the coal situation, not only as to ample
supply, but prices would be quickly
readjusted."
Wants Aid of Governors
The president suggested that Mr.:
Spens take up with the governors OF
the various states the question OF
prevention of extortion, as the new
act is limited to coal moving in inter
state commerce.
'sThe federal government Mr..
Harding said, ''is lOath to undertake
to fix definite prces for coal because
of the Objectionable character of such

the difficulty in arriving at fair prices
without giving undue favor to some
and loss to others, and also because of
the incompleteness of an authority
which is only supplementary to state
actions. On the other hand, wish you
to set up such agencies as will vigor-
ously follow up individuals using facill-
ties of interstate commerce, who are
exacting extortion as defined In the
act. in order that we may have relief
from such practices at the earliest
moment"
Arrangements for the distribution
and control of anthracite mines, the
president declared, have been salts
factorily established in cooperation
with state authorities and operators.
and. he added, the first activities Of
the new fuel agency should be directed
to the extension of the cooperative
arrangements with the railways,

suming communities and the state
authorities. set up by Henry b.
Spencer, the federal fuel distributor.
Plans Not Definite
Mr.. Spens Friday night said he was
as yet unprepared to announce de-
finite plans for the administration of

PUBLIC IS BARRED
IN SCANDAL TRIAL
Paternity Case to Be Heard
Behind Closed Doors, Be-
ginning Today.

South Bend. Ind, Sept. 22.-The de-
fense in the case of Harry Pounn,
charged by Mrs. Augusta Tiernan with
being the father of her 10-mOnths- old
child. called several witnesses TO the
stand Friday in an effort to break
down testimony of he plaintiff re
garding the occasions she testified
Poulin was in her company.
Joseph Poulin, brother of the de-
fendant. testified he saw Poulin at
church on several of the occasions Mrs.
Tiernan had testified he was with her.
On several of the nights in question he
had taken his brother to the services IN
his automobile, the witness testified.
Direct examination of the witness was
in progress when court was adjourned
for the day.
Following adjournment. Judge Du-
comb announced the board of public
works had passed an ordinance for
bidding spectators to attend the trial
after Friday. Large crowds have
jammed the court room since the start
of the trial and many times the hear
ings have had to be suspended while
court attaches attempted to quiet the
uproar among spectators during the
tense moments of the trial. There
also has been much kissing and booing
of witnesses.
Other witnesses gave testimony SINH
lar to that of Joseph Poulin.
W. ID. Beecher, a grocer, was called
to the stand by defense counsel in an
effort to impeach testimony of Pro
fessor John Tiernal, who had testified
that he had not gone under the name
of Cannon when he first came to South
Bend. The prosecution Immediately
objected to the testimony of Beecher
and after much wrangling between at
torneys, Judge Ducomb announced he
would render a decision Saturday as
to whether the testimony would be
admissible

(By The Associated Press. IA Jeal-
GUS woman killed my nom and Mr..

This assertion, fitting in perfectly
with the theory which authorities IN
vestigating the murder of Mrs. Eleanor
Reinhardt Mills and the Rev. Edward
Wheeler Hall are bending every effort
to prove, was made Friday evening by
Charlotte Mills, 16-year- daughter
of the dead woman. 1t was the first
time she had broken her silence-save
before the authorities-since the trag-
edy came into the humble Mills home
and left her its mistress.
'STbe woman | think killed mom,"
the girl continued, with bitterness in
her voice. "was-.' She named
a woman whom the authorities also
have admitted was the center OF most
of their suspicious.

ewes that make you afraid of her

Charlotte admitted she had given
her aunt, Mrs. Elsie Barnhart of Pater-
son. a packet containing photographs
of Mr.. Hall and her mother. There
also was one picture of Mrs. Hall,
she added
She said her mother gave her the

IS
RATIFIED BY
EP|SCOPAL|ANS
Bishop Given Power to
Ordain Congregation
al Ministers.

Portland, Ore, Sept. 22.-The con-
cordat. an arrangement whereby Con-
gregational clergymen may be ordained
by Episcopal bishops, was ratified
finally by the Protestant Episcopal
church in the United States Friday by
action of the house of deputies. In
adopting the necessary canon to put
the concordat into effect, the house
accepted the amendment to the church
law which the house of bishops had
approved.
The divorce law of the church was
tightened, the house of deputies ratify-
ing the amendment to the canon for
bidding communicates of the church to
marry with divorced persons, except
in cases where the divorce had been
granted on grounds of infidelity. The
house acted without debate. The bish-
ops had approved the amendment.
Hopes of women of the Protestant
Episcopal church in the United States
for legislation at the general conven-
tion here towards imm ediately giving
them greater recognition in the
churcb's work were dashed by the
action of the house of bishops late Fri
day in failing to concur in the action
of the deputies in an amendment to a
canon which would make possible to
licensing of women as lay readers.
Bishop A. II. A. Hall of Vermont
put the quietus on this measure by
speaking against its passage.
This measure was the only one of
three to survive thus far in the con-
vention hall. The bishops had turned
back to a joint commission for further
consideration of a proposal that, dea-
conesses be recognized as an order in
the ministry and providing for their
ordination.

some people connected with the church
were jealous because of that. Nom
was romantic-but her character was
beyond reproach.
"A jealous woman-helped by some
man-killed her"
The jealousy theory was strongly
supported by several developments
Friday. Assistant Prosecutor Toolan,
who has been directing the Middlesex
county investigation, declared there
was no doubt left in the minds of the
investigators that jealousy was the
motive. An arrest might be expected
momentarily, he said.
One of the strongest leads followed
was that of reported attempt to poi
son Mrs. Mills at tea party several
weeks before she and the minister
were slain When Mrs. james Tenne-
son, another sister of the dead woman,
confirmed this report with the state
ment that Mrs Mills had told of being
made ill by a sip of coffee and declared
that but for the confidence she had in
the friendship of the hostess she would
believe she had been poisoned, addi-
tional detectives were assigned to de-
yelop this angle of the case. The

TURK FORCES INCREASING

London. Sept 22.-The Kemalist
forces are rapidly increasing on the
Chanak frontier, but have not COM
mitted any overt acts of hostility, says
Reuter- dispatch from Constantine
pie Friday.
Reliable reports say that a still
more serious concentration is occur
ring at Ismid, to which region Musta-
pha Kemal Pasha, the nationalist
leader, is proceeding. and there seems
to be ground for believing the Kemal-
lists will make Constantinople their
objective, rather than Chanak, mas
much as larger quantities of supplies
are available in the Ismid region,
while the hostile population of Con-
stantinople would cause trouble in the

BRANTLY SUCCESSOR
MAY BE APPOINTED
BEFORE NEXT WEEK
Supreme Court to RecOnvene
Monday; Dixon Main
tains Silence.
(Tribune's Helena Bureau.)

Helena. Sept. 22.-There has been
considerable conjecture in Helena for
several days as to who would be Sc
lected by Governor Joseph NJ. Dixon
to fill the vacancy on the supreme
court bench caused by the recent death
Of Chief Justice Theodore Brantly,
but so far no intimation has been given
by the governor as to who he may be
considering. When questioned Friday
morning before his departure for
Whitehall, he said no appointment
would be made during the day, but 1t
is possible an appointment may be an
nounced before Monday, when the court
will reconvene after a recess of one
week, taken because of the death of
the chief justice.
For some months prior to the death
of Justice Brantly his place on the
bench had been occupied by members
of the district juriciary, who had been
called in TO act while the chief justice
was ILL., The office was first filled
by Judge Roy L. Ayers of Fergus
county, and, following the summer va
cation. by Judge jeremiah ]. Lynch of
Silver Bow county.
Governor to Appoint
Now that an actual vacancy exists
it will be necessary that the office
be filled by appointment by the gov
ernor. The air is full of guesses as
to who may be called in by the governor
to fill the office until the expiration
of the term of the late chief justice,
at the close of the present year, but
nothing has been given out from the
inside which will lend authority in any
case.
Governor Dixon earlier in the year
was called upon to fill a vacancy en-
the supreme bench, after the death of
Associate Justice f. B. Reynolds of
Billings, having selected for that post
George W. Farr of Miles City, who
at the recent primary was defeated by
l.. l.. Galloway of Great Falls, for
the republican nomination for chief
justice.
Another judicial appointment in
which interest has been renewed among
the lawyers and politicians following
the recent approval by President Hard
ing of the act creating large number
of additional federal judgeships is that
for the additional judgeship created for
state of Montana.
Interest Dies Down
Earlier in the year, when this ques-
tion was arousing more interest than
even at present, several candidates
were actively at work for the securing
of Endorsement for this then pros
pective appointment. 1t is not known
that any new candidates have entered
the race and but little activity is being
exhibited of the earlier candidates.
The changed situation following the
primary election is expected to result
in the postponement of an appoint
ment until after the general election,
when, should congressman Riddick be
elected United States senator from
Montana, he will have practically the
whole say in the matter of recommend
alton, as he would then be the only
republican senator from this state.
Otherwise the weight of the recon-
mendation will probably rest with the
present republican congressman, or,
should the republicans succeed in elect
ing their candidates for congress, with
the newly elected representatives.

Taking the sc-called nationalist pact
as a basis, the allied representatives
discussed for nearly four hours the
Turkish demands. Lord Curzon, the
British foreign secretary, expressed
some doubt as to whether his govern
ment would agree with any of the con-
ditions of the nationalists in advance
of peace conference. but he finally
consented to forward the plan to Lon

even tentative approval of the Turkish

on their full Endorsement by the Brit

Poincare for Turkish Demands
NJ. Poincare favored out and out ap-
proval of all the Kemalist demands
but it is realized in French government
circles that the best that can be hoped
for is limited acceptance by Great
Britain.
The general scheme for peace would
contain the following points:
Constantinople, Adrianople and east
ern Thrace, up to the river Martha
would be handed back to Turkey, sub
ject TO acceptance of broad demili
tarized zone along the Tracean, Bull
garian and Grecian frontiers.
Observation-Disclosures of the straits OF
the Dardanelles under the League of
Nations or some other international
body
Maintenance of a permanent allied
military force at Gallipoh.
Rigid treaty clauses insuring the
protection of the minorities in Turkey
1t is probable the British force at
Chanak would remain there until a
peace treaty would be signed between
Turkey and Greece. The British also
would further limit the size of the
! Turkish forces in eastern Thrace to
insure peace 10 that part of Europe.
Premier Poincare desired to have
certain of the concessions finally ap-
proved Friday so that Franklin Bouil-
! Ion, who negotiated the Franco-Turk-
ish agreement, might proceed immedi-
ate to Smyrna in an endeayor to pre-
vent Mustapha Kemal Pasha's commit
