.HALL-MILLS MYSTERY
IS REPORTED SOLVED;
ARREST is EXPECTED
BY GERALD p. ovERToN

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J., Oct. 20
The Hall-Mills murder mystery has
been solved and the alleged slayers
are virtually in a state of secret ar
rest under continuous surveillance of
detectives, it was reported here today.
Prosecutor Stricken, while not con-
firming this, admitted decided pro-
gress had been made in the last week. .
The very fact that there was less
feverish activity among Prosecutors
Beekman and Stricken and the detec-
tives and investigators that are aiding
in the case was also taken to bear out
this belief.
Arrest is Expected.
The whole atmosphere about the
courthouse seemed to portend an ac-
tual arrest would be made very soon.
The lull in activity was taken to mean
that the investigators had about closed
in on the person to whom the latest
clues point as the slayer of the min
lister and choir singer who were found
slain on the unoccupied Phillips farm
nearly five weeks ago.
In spite of the protestations of Mrs.
Hall, the wealthy widow of Rev. Hall,
who was II years his senior, that she
is confident that her husband was
never unfaithful, it has been disclosed
that the minister and his wife had
quarreled over his attentions to Mrs.
Mills.
Miss Florence North, attorney for
Charlotte Mills, daughter of the slain
woman, alleges that the minister and
his wife were estranged a week Or
ten days before the Rev. Hall was
murdered.

by New Turk Leader

CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 20-The
Sultan's government has been soundly
snubbed by the first dignitary of the
Turkish Nationalist government to ar

of the Angora government by its vic
tory over the Greeks.
Rafect Pasha, military governor
over Thrace, upon his arrival at his

Speaking in an interview Of the

said:

today the most powerful military
nation. We have achieved victory
VIII. ch ! am confident no other army
could have won.
"The spirit which the Turkish people
have shown has excited the admiration
of the entire world. When our country

up arms voluntarily and eagerly;
there is no conscription in Turkey
nor any necessity for it.

LONDON, Oct. 20.-The majority of
London's morning newspapers being
anti-coalition, the fall of the Lloyd
George ministry is mostly welcomed by
them today as Kidding the country of
a government whose policies they have
SO long condemned and opening the
way for what they hope will prove
a saner administration.
The Times believes that the effect
will everywhere be beneficient. 1t
declares the country wants 'to return
to the normal ways of life and to feel
that it's welfare is in the hands of men
of sound sense, less anxious to shine
as individuals than to merit conf.
dence as faithful wardens of the pub
lie good"
The Morning Post regards yester-
day events as a considerable victory
won in the interests of the country
not less than in the interests of the
conservative party.
Feeling of Relief.
THE coalition is dead and gone, un.
wept and unsung" says the Daily
News. The first feeling of the men
of almost all parties will be one of re
lief. Whatever government succeeds
the coalition it could not be an i'm

country to carry us back to clearer
