MRS. HALL INSISTS
GRAND JURY HEAR
HER SIDE OF CASE
Widow Will Waive I'm.
munity In Demanding
To Testify.

NEW BRUNSWICK. N. j.. Nov.
Mrs Frances Stevens Hall,
widow of the murdered rector, will
appear before the grand jury next
week and demand to testify. Mrs.
Hall will waive immunity.
Deputy Attorney General Mott.
after a conference with Chief Justice
Gummere at Newark today. an
nounced evidence will be presented
to the grand Jury next week. The
jury will be called for Thursday. Mr.
Mott said. Presentation of the evil
dence secured in the seven weeks
since the bodies were found. is ex-
pected to take several days. 1t is
reported that two indictments.
against a woman and man, will be
asked.
Mrs. A. c. Fraley. who lives in De
Russy's lane, almost opposite the
Phillips farm. is said to be the sec
ond eyewitness whose testimony
will support the statement of Mrs.
Jane Gibson. who said she saw Mrs
Hall at the scene af the crime on the
fatal night.
Mrs. Fraley Is reported to have
heard the shots which killed the
minister and choir singer and to
have seen from an upper window of
her house figures moving in the field
of goldenrod.
On the other hand. Sigourney
Smith, swho boards at the Fraley
home, refused to state whether he
had knowledge of the crime, declar-
ing he had been warned by State
troopers not to talk to newspaper
people" Smith may be the new
mysterious witness instead of Mrs.
Fraley.
Barbara Tough. the Scotch seam
stress in the Hall home, became
much upset over the report that she
is to be called as a witness before
the grand jury.
Mrs. Jane Gibson. still guarded by
State troopers, said today: The
story I told the authorities and the
story told newspaper men are two
different things. Wait until / so
on the stand and / will tell you a
story that will be better than any
thing you have yet heard"
Evidence that Hall feared he was
being Swallowed when he went to
his trysting place has been given
the authorities.
Instead of riding to the end of the
Easton avenue car line. Hall is said
to have alighted from the car.
skirting around corners and through
fields in making his way to the Phil
lips farm.
Witnesses also said Mrs. Hall often
was seen riding out Easteon avenue
In the vicinity of Buccleuch Park.
where Hall and Mrs. Mills occa-
sionally met. The park is about a
quarter of a mile from the Phillips
farm.

CONSULAR RIGHTS
, OF U.S.. INVOLVED
in BRITISH CASE
Diplomats Disagree Over
Charges Made at
Newcastle, Eng.

The United States and Great Brit
ain apparently are approaching a
diplomatic impasse over the incl
dent caused by the latter govern
ment's recent action in cancelling
recognition of the two American
consuls at Newcastle, it was be-
lieved here last night.
The Newcastle situation. it is be
lieved. may develop the necessity
or advisability OF the United States
seeking some definite agreement
with other powers definiAg the
rights Of its consular representa-
tives in connection with business
of the American Shipping Board.
British Charges Denied.
The situation may be summarized
as follows:
l. The Investigations which the
American government has snade are
said not to have substantiated the
British charges that Consul Slater
and Vice Consul Brooks used their
Visa powers at Newcastle to coerce
British subjects to sail to the United
States on American ships, and the
British government has been no.
titled of this in a communication
from the State Department, which
takes the stand that Great Britain
should withdraw the charges
against the consuls
2. The British attitude seems to
be that the incident Is a closed one;
that the exequators of the consuls
have been cancelled; that there is

LISTS INDICATE
sure VICTORY
FOR BONAR LAW
UniOnists Have N early
500 Nominees Against
Liberals $50.

LONDON, Nov. denominations for
the forthcoming general elections
closed at noon today. forecasting
an inevitable victory for Premier
Bonar Law apd his Unionist sup
porters.
David Lloyd George. former pre-
mier, was among a group of sew
enty candidates who are considered
automatically elected. no one op-
posing them in their districts. Mrs
Lloyd George herself nominated the
former premier as a member for
Carnarvon.
Belief that Lloyd George would
fight Bonar Laws party to the death
at the polls, which arose from a
report that he would nominate many
additional candidates to oppose
Unionists at the last moment, was
dispelled when the former premier
named but eighteen of his support
ers besides his previous list. One
Of these. a Mrs. Webster. was re-
jected by the nominations board
because her name arrived too late.
500 UnIonists In Field.
The Unionists have nearly 500
nominees. the Independent Liberals

200. while Labor has put 400 in
the field With Lloyd George with

probably a majority.
Lloyd George and Bonar Law

altruism in this; in the opinion of

ride back to power on a wave Of
Parliamentary opposition of which
he undoubtedly will be the leader.
Attacks .standstiIIism.-
Both Bonar Law and Lloyd George
made speeches today. but they were
uninteresting affairs compared with
the magnitude of the political up
passing.
Lloyd George coined a new phrase.
"Standstillism," and applied it to
Bonar Laws cabinet. Bonar Law
touched lightly on affairs of the
day. said he wasn't hostile towards
Ireland and that Lord Curzon had
a free rein with France and Italy,
and generally smoothed things out
for a small audience at Leeds. Lloyd

Irregular Schedules Break
Nervous System, DIR.
Murphy Declares.
MORE BUILDINGS
ONLY CURE, HE SAYS
Heavy Sick List Prompted
PrObe-AdditiOns Will
Open Soon.

Irregular schedules and part-time
classes caused by crowded condi-
tions in> n>washington public schools
are producing an alarming effect
upon the health of thousands of
children. according to a survey of
schools made under direction of DR..
Joseph Murphy. school health off,
Ger.
Investigation reveals there is a
uniform impairment of physical
condition among the children, who
are forced to adapt themselves to
schedules requiring morning classes
one part of the week and afternoon
classes other days. The same re-
suits are found for children In the
lower grades who are compelled to
attend afternoon classes.
In most instances. DIR. Murphy
said. the nervous strain Is not no.
ticeable to the children. Often the
parents and teachers are unaware
OF the danger until a physical ex-
aminatio Is made or the child Is
taken i'll. However, he declared,
the down condition of the chill
dren is easily apparent from results
noted during the investigation.
Afternoon Glasses Bad.
Loss of weight, nervousness. lack
of interest in the classes. suscepd-
bility to disease are the direct re-
suits of the crowded conditions. DR..
Murphy declared Compared with
children attending morning classes
and following regular schedules.
the investigation reveals. the men,
tai and physical efficiency of pupils
In irregular classes is decidedly
less.
Explanation OF this condition" :"
DR.. Murphy said. "is found in the
fact that the younger children have
less powers Of resistance to fatigue.
The irregular classes and afternoon
classes make an unusually heavy
drain on the energy of the children.
In the morning the child is refresh
ed and we'll able to expend energy.
In fact he may have surplus Of
energy. But as the day passes there
Is an accumulation OF fatigue. The
growing body is tired and cannot
respond without draining reserve
energy. 1t Is just at this period OF
the day that hundreds of children
are being forced to mental exer-
tions in the classroom. With the
average child this is a severe strain
and cannot be endured without
physical harm"

BOnar Law and Asquith
Coalition, Aim of Leaders

LONDON. Nov. Negotiation
are said to be going on between
Bonar Law and the Asquith parties
for a new coalition. 1t Is said the
Tories are determined to send Lloyd
George into the wilderness forever
and rather than accept his help will
take in the Asquith party, hoping
thus to be secure for five years and
reduce Lloyd George and his asso-
ciates to leaders of a small group
in the house of commons.
A part of the bargain is said to be
for Asquith to be appointed chan
cellor of the exchequer in the new
government and Lord Grey be ap-
pointed foreign secretary. while
Lord CurZon, who is now foreign
secretary. will be compensated by
dukedom. to which he has aspired
for a long time.
