Los Angeles, Oct. LP-Los An gelcs authorities today attempted to ascertain whether four missing women, all purported members of the religious cult known as "The Divine Order of the Royal Arm of the Great Seal" are dead, and if so what caused their deaths and what disposal was made of their bodies.

 Members of a colony maintained by the religious order in the Santa Susana hills. north of here, were being questioned regarding the re- ported deaths of Frances Turner, Harlene Sartoris, Katherine Bolz and Addie McGulfin.

3POWERS' REPLIES
Italy and France Cordial.
Japanese Text Not Yet
Made Public.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, October 17.-The British
government has received ofiicial replies
acceptirlk its invitations in every in
stance to q power naval conference
here IN January and also expressions of
willingness to participate in proposed
preliminary discussions Of the problems
Of limitations.
The texts of both the Italian and
French replies were published last
night. Italy expressed the desire to
collaborate In any step calculated to
eliminate the dangers Of excessive arma-
ments and said its view on the subject
was too well known to require restate-
ment.
The French reply was regarded as
even more cordial The French govern
ment "congratulates ITSELF that the
washington conversations have taken
such q favorable turn, and declared 1t
self happy" to accept the invitation.
The text of the Japanese acceptance
had also been received, but has not
been made public as yet.
The London Times, commenting upon
acceptances Of invitations to the pro-
jected parley, editorially expressed salts
faction ct the invites responding in
the same spirit OF candor and cordiality
in which the invitations we're given.
The paper pleaded for a free, frank
but discreet discussion beforehand of
every dif1lculty to an agreement, how
ever vexatious 1t might be.
If this Is done, it was said, informal
conversations during the next trimester
should clear the ground largely and
allow the conference proper to meet
with some Of the principal obstacles to
success already removed.

a proposal to permit participation by
the institute in legislative and political
questions.
The proposal was sponsored by Eben

operator, who had advocated permanent
elimination of night work as cure for
overproduction. The institutes action
means that members may continue to
operate as In the past, with no agree
ment or legislation to curb overpro-
duction.
This action was taken by the more

dent said ycore must be accomplished
to correct oVerproduction. This may be
achieved, he said, "as the mills more
snd more adjust their production to de-
nand and maintain q proper regard for

Hines was reelected president, but in
a statement later he said that because
Of the demands on his time and
strength" he would quit in December.
He suggested that at~that time the ex-
ecutive committee could make him

Gen. Gage obviously was looking upon

birth of q nation from the opposite side
Of the fence to American writer's on
these celebrated skirmishes.
He continues: IT having intelligence
of q large quantity OF military stores

and light infantry out OF town under
command of Lieut.. Col. Smith of the
10th Regiment and Maj. Pitcairn of the
Marines with as much secrecy as pos
sible on the 18th at night and with
orders to destroy such military stores,
and supplemented them the next morn
ing by light forces under command Of
Lord Percy.
1T appeared from the firing of alarm
guns and ringing Of bells that the
march of Lieut.. Col. Smith was dis
of men within miles Of Concord; some
few OF whom first began to IRE on his
advance companies, which brought on
q IRE from the troops that dispersed
the body opposed to them and they

ceeded to destroy all military stores

Events were moving rapidly toward
Bunker Hill. On June IL, q few days
before that celebrated encounter, the
general reported to the war minister:
Things have now come to this crisis
that we must avail ourselves OF every
resource, even to raise the negroes in
our cause" At the same time ne was
writing to Lieut.. Col. Caldwell, the
British commander at Fort Niagara,
urging him to cultivate the friendship
of the Indians as much as possible so
as to have a body of them ready to
dispatch on the first notice"
Gage had consistently disparaged the
Yankee farmers, but after the battle Of
Bunker Hill on June II, he began to
get frightened and wrote to Barring

to send hired continental troops
