WILHELM IS NOT
 ID WITNESS HUNT
Won't Attend Events at Famous
 ROnlilten Estate

Berlin, Oct. 25 P}-The crack of the rife and the crash to earth of the fleeing stag may soon again be heard at former Emperor William s favorite shooting box at Rominten II ath and forest country Of East Prussia. William, however, will not be there, as in olden days, standing i behind blind as the game is driv- cn past as a target for the hunts man.
 Tn the name of his majesty, the kaiser" says the newspaper Montag Morgen, invitations have been is sued for royal hunt at the begin ming of November, fifty persons, among them Prince Henry consort of Queen Wilhelmina of Holland, former diplomatic officials and high military personages have been bid den to attend. The Rominten estate only recently was restored to Will liam by the compromise settlement of the Prussian government with the Hohenzollerns for property seiz- ed when the ruling house abdicated.
 The newspaper admits that the former emperor will not be present to enjoy the shooting and says no decision has yet been arrived at as to whether former Crown Prince Frederick William will go to Rom inten for the sport. IL expresses the belief, however, that the approach ing hunt foreshadows a return to former customs.
 The present law eXiling the Hoh- cnzolIcrns goes out of effect after next July, but Dr. Paul Locbe, president of the reichstag. is quoted by the Boorscn Courier as saying that the social democrats propose to take steps in the rcichstag to pre- V mt the return of the former ruler cveni when his term of exile ends. They are said to be convinced that the coming home Of William would result in violent internal disturb ances, as well as international com plications.
 Tt is out Of the question:" Dr. Iocbe added, that the former mon- arch, who at the moment of collapse deserted the country and tho people, leaving the work of reconstruction to others, now should be allowed suddenly to bob up again. His ad- vent would represent black day in the country's annals, leading to incalcIlable consequences"

HAND SIGNAL CODE MAY BE MADE LAW
StoeCEel Considering InCOrpOra-
 ting It in Statutes

Hartford, Oct. g CP-Incorpora- tion of a specific code of hand sig naIs in the Connecticut motor vehi- cle law will probably be proposed in the session of the legislature which conyenes in January. according to the October bulletin of the state motor vehicle department
 "The hand signal. in its present execution, is cautionary," it is pointed out, and so far as reliance can be placed upon it. except in un- usual cases, it stops there" The D .rsons for whom a signal is given, does not feel justified in accepting it as an indication of the exact oper- ation that is to follow. but must wait and see what develops A driv- CT noting a signal by the driver of car ahead simply takes it as an indication that there is to be some unspeCified change in the operation of the car ahead. and governs him. self accordingly.
 That is the situation today in all most every part of the country, &C., cordinG to the bulletin, owing large ly to the fact that there has not been enough education in hand sig mailing by motor vehicle operators. but the motor vehicle department opinion is that there is no reason why that should be the situation. Ii holds that the hand signal is a con- plement 10 the correct operation of a motor vehicle.
 What might be called a composite code Of hand signals drawn from practices approved and taught hy different motor vehicle authorities of eastern states, is described in the bulletin, for possible inclusion in the Connecticut law, as fol- lows;-
 No. 1. Stop or slow:-Extend hand and arm horizontally and hold rigid"
 No. 7. Turn lett:-Polntlng mo- ton with index finger"
 No. 3. Turn right:-Rotate hand forward from wrist or elbow"
 A different code is employed in the west, especially in California, which is explained briefly in the bulletin and compared with the i'm proved eastern code.
 NO. l. Extend the arm upward means turn right"
 No, 2. Extend the arm horizon tally and hold rigid means turn left"
 No. 3. Extend the arm down. ward means stop"
 The eastern code the bulletin says, is unmistakable if the signals are properly given.
 No sympathy is wasted on the driver who gives direction and then disregards it. The Connecticut department feels that that type of driver ought to be punished, be- cause of the obvious danger of his practice, especially when it is a direction to a pedestrian to pass in front of his car.

MELLON WARNS OF
 TARIFF SLASHES
Says It Would Drive ManufaC.

Washington, Oct. 25 Pl-Applica- ton to the United States of the pro- posals contained in the economic manifesto signed by some American and European bankers for a lower ing of tariffs in the interests of trade
 would reduce rather than increase American purchases abroad, in the opinion of Secretary Mellon of the treasury.
 Serving formal notice on behalf of the administration that the man.
 ifesto would bring about no change
 in the present tariff policy. he ap- proved its application to European
 states on the ground that it would effect there condition similar to that existing here-free trade among the states of the union.
 Any reduction In the American tariff rates would act not as a stim-
 ulous but as a boomerang to Europe's export trade to the United States, he contended, because 1t would Occasion unemployment and reduce our purchasing power. will diminish the country's consumption of commodities and cause large sur pluses of the worlds principal prod ucts."
 Europe he declared, is selling in creasingly large quantities of prod ucts to the United States, mostly of the -dutiable classes of commodi-
 ties not produced in the United
 States.
 Reducing the American tariff rates, he argued. would drive a large share of manufacturing away from the United States to countries
 where the costs are less"
 The United States is the largest customer in the world today" the
 secretary asserted. If we were not prosperous and able to buy Europe also would suffer. It Is inconceiv- able to me that American labor will ever consent to the abolition of pro- lection which would bring the Amer ican standard of living down to the
 level of that in Europe, or that the
 American farmer could survive If the enormous consuming power of the people in this country was curtailed
 and his market at home destroyed" :"

 DEFIES SIMPSON
Refuses to Delay Hearings for
 Tapdy Witnesses

Somerville, N. J., Oct. 25 PF- Open warfare existed today between the September term grand jury of Somerset county, and State Senator Alexander Simpson, special prosccu- tor of the Hall-Mills case.

Snyder. that 1t would meet despite Simpsons wishes.
 No one has the authority to stop our meeting" Snyder declared. "We are an independent body, can meet on our own initiative and summon our own witnesses. I have asked Sheriff Tunison to notify the jurors 10 that effect"
 Simpson gave as his reason for the postponemcnt his inability to reach several witnesses. Reports, how ever, were that tho defeat of his at tempt to evtradite Felix Di Martini, private detective, from New York. and alleged hospitality on the part of the jury when it heard seven witnesses at it's first meeting last Thursday were the real causes.
 Besides Di Martini, the prescott ton also was seeking indictment as accessory against Mrs. Minna Clark. choir singer in the Church of St. John the Evangelist. oi which the Rev. Edward ". Hall was minister. Di Martini, as an cmploye Of Mrs Hall. was accused of intimidatinc witnesses and Mrs. Clark was said 10 have spied on the trysts of the minister and Mrs. Mills.
 The eyhumation of the body of Mrs. Mills from Fairview cemetery, New Brunswick, was scheduled for today. Permission was secured from Justice Parker Of the supreme court and Dr. Otto H. Schultz of New York was engaged to perform the autopsy Application has also been made for the cxhumation of the body Of the Rev Dr. Hall, which was buried in a Brooklyn cemetery.

BISHOP MILAN IN
 TALK ID SOCIETY
Breaches on Self-COntrOl to Holy
 Name Organization

Bridgeport, Oct. 25 Religion means that we have ourselves un- der control, that we have law to live by and try our best to live up to it." said Rt. Rev. John J. Milan, bishop of the diocese of Hartford, in his address before members of the Bridgeport Holy Name societies who filled the Palace theater yes terday afternoon at the Bridgeport Holy Name convention.
 God has lighted the way so that we can see the pitfalls and miss the roads which deviate and lead to destruction" said the bishop. Those who leave the straight, lighted road often say, I'll come back before I die, but do they? Do they come back into the right way in time? Some don't. They leave the road and will not come back until the hand of God is reached out to them to help them poNhs ] 4lV pS way INoi ldl anu dl devious. Keep to the path lighted by the Son of God.
 Every life has its duties and man must realize that Christianity Is practical. It must be brought into our lives every day. every hour. every moment. We must try to learn our lifely duty and follow it,
 For instance. those in upper circles of this society have duties to which they must be faithful and they must be trustworthy. Every one of us has his own duty to per form and must try to do it better each performance. Give to Caesar the things which are Caesars but nothing more. The government has powers and lays down laws which we should observe. It is up to us to obey them"

YALE STUDENTS
 ATTEND SERVICES
Hear Sermon On Subject Of
 SeIi-SaCriIiCe

New Haven, Oct. 25 LPD - Rev. Edward w. Cross of Richmond Hill, L. l., said yesterday to Yale students at religious services in Battell chapel, Yale, that power and willingness to protect ourselves beyond the range of our little per sonal interests, and to identify our selves with the continuing com munity gives value and meaning to human experience.
 There is primitive and in stinctive part of Us that demands place in the sun for our precious selves. But there is a nobler self that is the outcome of the age-long struggle for the life of others. It is the mark that distinguishes civili- zation from sheer organism. Our salvation lies in reducing the claims of individualism and bring ing to full operating strength that divine capacity by which we are able to live beyond the narrow boundaries of our earthly careers.
 Men may be divided into the two classes: Those who for satisfaction for the immediate present mortgage the future, placing crushing loads upon the backs of unborn genera tions, and those who out of unsclf- ish devotion are eager to endow the future with wealth, wisdom and hope. The pagan farmer sucks the fertility out ofthe soil like a leech and leaves a desert to those who fol- low him. But the father who had the spirit of Moses bequeaths to his children a beautiful countryside in the region where he as pioneer grappled with the prairies with his naked hands and conquered it.
 The pagan attitude toward the use of political power was epito- mixed by Louis XIV who said, after the days of our brilliant luxury and profligacy, built on the woes and wrongs of the poor, let the deluge come" Contrast that with Franklin K. Lane. our great secretary of the Interior, who wore himself out in the persistent struggle to conserve for postorlty the natural, resources of our nation and who died leaving an estate of S5,000. But his name inherits the honor of all lovers of America.
 Can we imagine a world at peace with itself? If we lead in example, let us lag in aggression. Let us not think what our navy will be 150 years hence. No slothful sympathies and dainty loves, no highly polished cleverness, no lukcwarm idealism, however rational, can save us. Our only hope lies in love that rises to a religious passion"
