Mystery in Report
Rate Boost on Cotton
From New England

Manchester, N. H. Dec. 10-(AP)-
The source of report of an increase
in freight rates on cotton goods from
New England points to the west, an
nounced today by John j. Cummings,
engineer of the New Hampshire Man.
ufacturers' Association, was still a
mystery tonight as prominent mill
men in this state denied all knowl-
edge of the proposal.
William Parker Straw. agent Of the
Amoskeag mill. said that he had
heard nothing of it and Fl. Arthur,
Newton agent of the Dover branch
only knew that the mill men have
been notified of a meeting to be held
on December 16 to take action
against the increase.
If the proposal goes into effect 1t
will mean that the products of Amos
keag and other New England mills
will enter the western market under
a handicap. which leading mill Off
Gals declare 1t will be hard to over
come. ~
New Hampshire shipments are on
Boston rate basis and are now as
sessed with a rate of $1.06 per hum
dredweight to Chicago. The propos-
ed rate on this particular class of
goods will be SLAP per hundred
weight or SO cents per hundred
weight.
The change. If made. will alter the
present classification from the rule
25 basis to the first class rate.
1t was learned from a reliable
source that the mills of New Hamp-
shire will not accept the increase
without a fight which they will
carry to the interstate commerce
commission.

near Campbell in connection with the
brutal murder of Timothy Shay, farm
laborer, will probably face charge
of first degree murder. District At
torney Guy w. Cheney of Corning
said tonight.

Information.
The farm on which the murder was
committed is owned by Commission
er Enright and is operated by his
brother, William Enright. William,
however, has not been at the farm
for a month.

tigation developed that drunken
brawl had taken place, which the
officials declare resulted in the MUIR
der. Michael Enright, when aues-
toned, declared that he and Shay
were at the farmhouse last night
drinking and that he retired at 8 o.
clock leaving Shay alone. When he
arose at Z o'clock this morning he
missed Shay and at 10 o'clock found
the body, he said, in ditch about 50
feet from the house. He denied any

Directing to some of DR.. Stelzle's
conclusions.
'"There can be no question about
the large amount of drunkenness
throughout our country today" said
DIR. Stelzle. 1T may be seen upon
streets and in all public places.
Prohibition, like Christianity, is
not failure, however, because 1t
has not been really fully tried. The
partial trial shows blessings that
would follow real prohibition"

MITCHELL COURT
TAKES STEPS TO
SPEED UP THE TRIAL

Washington. Dec. 10.-(AP)-More
army air service troubles were barred
today before the Mitchell courtmar-
tial and much blame for them was
laid at the doors of the war depart
ment and the Administrations economy
program.
At the same time the court took
steps to speed the trial to a conclu-
sion. 1t refused to hear the prosecu-
tons prepared examination of Major
General Charles r. Menoher, former
army air service chief, who had been
brought across the continent from San
Francisco to tell about organization
of the service.
At the courts direction Colonel
Sherman Moreland, trial judge advo-
cate, cut short his question of General
Menoher and he was given permission
to return to his post few minutes
after he had taken the stand.
Colonel Moreland opposed the
courts decision not to hear General
Menoher. but was forced to accept the
statement that Major General Mason
NJ. Patrick, present air service chief.
who had just completed a two-day
examination, had given the court all
the information it wanted about air
service history.
After testifying that Congress and
the economy program had hampered
the air service development and that
the war department had treated it
somewhat as stepson." General Pat
rick surrendered the stand to Briga-
der General Milton A. Reckord. adju-
tant general for the state of Maryland,
who told briefly of the training and
operations of the goth Division obser-
walton squadron.

the fnsurgent group who held chair
manships. were rejected from these Of
fees. Representative vestal of vir-

spectively, when these were organized

Geneva, Dec. 10-(AP)-No solu-
ton Of the Mosul problem acceptable
to Turkey can be found at the present
session of the League Of Nations coun-
Gil. Tewik Rushdi Bey. the Turkish
foreign minister, declared tonight. The
Turkish delegation would not only re-
fuse to accept any decision the council
may make as arbiter under the world
court opinion, but would not particle
pate in any further deliberations of
the question on the Mosul question.
Thus the threat made by Munir Bey,
the Turkish minister to Switzerland,
Immediately after the council had &C.
cepted the world court verdict that 1t
was empowered to make a binding and
final decision, has virtually become a
reality. Rushdi Bey. however. said
thu he would not leave Geneva imme-
diately but would remain to see wheth-
err "some reasonable proposal along
the lines Of real mediation may be
made" z fse''
The announcement of the withdraw
al of the Turks was presaged earlier
in the day, When Rushdi Bey sent a
letter to the council that the Turkish
delegation would refuse to attend the
session to discuss the question of the
Mosul settlement by General Laidener
of Esthonia, special agent of the
league, the Turks. however, did not
allow to pass unanswered General
Laidener's declaration that the Turk
ish authorities were carrying out
wholesale deportations of Christians
accompanied by atrocious violence and
even massacre.
While not denying the charge the
Turkish delegation explained that de-
portations with violence were carried
out against HISTORIAN Christians, who
had always agitated against Turkey"
