GEN, pERSHING CREETS VETS
 AT CONCLAvE

New Orleans, Oct. 19-(By the A. P.)-The fourth day of the national convention of the American Legion
 was marked by the arrival of. the commander of the American Expe- ditionary Forces, General John J. Pershing, who reached here today from Washington after a day spent in Atlanta, Ga.
 The general, official dignity laid aside, leaped from the platform of his sleeping car ahead of his staff of fcers and grasped the hands of the "buddies" who had gone to the sta- tion to meet him.
 Tomorrow the legion will select a successor to Hanford MaeNider. ma tiona1 commander of the organization.
 Late last night Major Hugh Scott, a medical officer, whose home is in Oklahoma City, Okla, and who is now serving as executive officer to Col. c. R. Forbes, director of the United States veterans bureau, told repre- sentative of the Associated Press that Col. Forbes decision to return, to Washington followed a long distance telephone conversation with high off, cials in Washington, in close touch with the president. According to the sources usually reliable, the chief ex- ecutive said that Col. Forbes was at Liberty to use his judgment as to re- maiEing here.
 Major Scott said that he regarded the legion as a dying organization, and that he believed that the last blow had been administered to it when President Harding vetoed the measure for adjusted compensation last summer.
 Alvin T. OwsIey, head of the legicn's commission on Americaniza- ton, appears to be the outstanding for national commander, of William F. Deegan, New York state commander and the first candidate publicly to announce that he was running for the office, appear ed disc outraged by runconf1rmed runors that the Missouri delegation and the midwest Coalition" had split and that the south, with the possible exception of Alabama, was lining un in favor of OWsley.

CITY ATTORNEY
 RETICENT OVER
 BOARD ELECTION

City Attorney John A. Cornell has his own opinion of the legality of the election to the Board of Education Monday night of Lynn W. Wilson and former Senator George B. Clark, but today refused to disclose the text of it or even give an ink1ing of what it contained.
 "1 will see MT. Burns this after noon," MT. Cornell said today, and until that time 1 will have nothing to say. All information contained in my opinion must come from Mr. Burns as it was at his request that I de- cided to give an opinion"
 MT. Burns will receive the opinion from the hands of the city attorney and further action will depend on the contents of the opinion. MT. Burns at Monday nights meeting of the Board of Education bolted the meet ing in a huff, declaring that he was going to the city attorney and that the filling of the existing vacancies was an outrage and illegal.

} The vote of the Conservatives at the Carlton Club was taken on a mo- ton by Col. Pretyman, Unionist mems Der for the Chelmsford division of Essex, which read:
 Resolved, that this meeting of Conservative members of the House of Commons declares his opinion that the Conservative party. while willing to cooperate with the Coalition liber- als, should fight the election as an independent party with it's own leader and its own program"
 Downfall Not Unexpected.
 Two events of yesterday were con- sidered to have contributed largely to today'S decision. One was the result of the Newport election, which in so far as it was any test, confirmed the belief that the "die-hards'' that the Conservatives. going-into the election. as a party, could sweep the country.
 The second was the decision of the committee of the Unionist organiza- tion to hold an emergency meeting to consider the course of the party, be- cause of the feeling that today'S eau GUS. composed solely of the Coalition members of the party in the House of Commons with such of the mem bers of the House of Lords as were cabinet members, had no right to as Sun1e to decide the future for the who party.
 If the Conservatives control the next parliament they may be depend- ed upon, it is considered to carry out
  Lloyd George government. That this would be done was stated by the Marquis of Salisbury in his speech last Monday.
 The general results of today's col lapse of the coalition promises to be, after a period of upheaval the length of which is difficult to predict, the I aversion of Great Britain to the tra- system of government on strict party lines.
 U. S. Debt Status Unchanged.
 London, Oct. 19-A change of gov ernment in Great Britain will not alter the British policy of paying the s4,277. 100000 which the British owe the United States, it was officially an nounced at the Treasury Department today.
 A plan for the payment or the debt and interest. thereon already has been worked out and is ready for presentation to the American gov ernment by the British Debt Funding Commission, headed by Sir Robert Horne, chancellor of the exchequer. Departure of this commission has been delayed pending settlement of the British political crisis The per sonnel of the commission may be changed as 9 result of the Tory uprising" against the Lloyd George coalition government.

 chiefs stained with blood were found near this barn. The combs and at least one of the handkerchiefs were said to have been identified by 16- year-old Charlotte Mills as belonging to her mother-the slain woman.
 Two New Witnesses.
 Two new witnesses have been found who told the county authorities that they passed near the old barn in a motor car about 10:30 o'clock on the night of Sept. 14th and that they heard the agonized screams of woman pleading for her life.
 The new witnesses, both men, were driving from Red Bank to this city and the road they followed took them near the barn where the double mur- der is now believed to have been com nitted.
 Cries of Help, help! Murder! Police! Police! For Gods sake, don't kill mel" came from the vicinity of the barn.
 The car in which the two men were driving passed within 20 or 30 feet of the spot where the woman was beg ging for her life but it was so dark that they could not distinguish the persons embroiled in the trouble.
 Later, the same night the same two men were said to have seen a large high-powered car dashing at top speed through De Russey Lane, which Hanks the spot where the two bodies were found stretched out, side by side, under a little crab apple tree on the morning of Sept. 16th.
 Still later on the same night the two men were reported to have seen the same automobile speeding towards New Brunswick with man and wo- man on the front seat.
 Much Unreliable Evidence.
 There have been so many false re- ports and misleading "evidence" that the latest version does not excite very much comment even in official circles County detectives said that they were running down every clue and every theory and that they would investi-
