SUBWAY DOOR CATCHES GIRL BUT DRESS TEARS (Paris Times Special) LONDON, Saturday.—A young girl was saved from death this morning when her dress gave way after catching in an automatic door of a London underground railway car at the Belsize Park station of the Hampstead line. With a girl companion, she attempted to dash from the car at the last moment. The door caught her dress and dragged her for fifty yards. She collapsed, but was only slightly injured. COOLIDGE

COOLIDGE SAYS REPUBLICANS WON ELECTION Country Returned Party Majority In Lower House, He Reminds GOP President Silent on Enthusiasm Displayed for Probable Rival in 1928. (Paris Times Radio) WASHINGTON, Saturday.—President Coolidge allowed it to be understood last night that he believes that the Congressional elections held last Tuesday really represent a victory for the Republican Party, even though the Democrats thereby gained control of the Senate and the Republican majority in the House of Representatives was cut by one-third. The important fact for the Republican Party to remember, the President points
fact for the Republican Party to remember, the President points out, is that the Representatives were the only Congressional group chosen by the country as a whole, and in this group, the Republican Party is still master. Therefore, the country is still Republican in its sympathies. President Looks To 1928. Everything here points to the intention of President Coolidge to seek re-election in 1928. He refuses to indicate what his intentions are, but he has said almost with insistence that Senator William M. Butler, defeated for re-election in Massachusetts, should retain his post as Chairman of the Republican National Committee.
retain his post as Chairman of the Republican National Committee. Senator Butler announced on Tuesday, after his defeat by Senator Walsh was apparent, that he would resign the chairmanship. He was President Coolidge’s campaign manager in 1924 and by his efforts to keep him in the powerful post of National Chairman, it is presumed that the President expects to have further need of him in 1928. Moreover, President Coolidge is moving party principles to a position where they will be appreciated by great numbers of voters. He said yesterday that he sees no reason why a Treasury surplus of $250,000,000
he sees no reason why a Treasury surplus of $250,000,000 for this year cannot be returned to payers of income-tax in the form of a rebate of 10 or 12 percent. This step would be a concrete reminder to the public that the Republican programme of rigid economy is a fact and not a theory, and it would undoubtedly have an added effect in connection with the announcement yesterday by Mr. Martin B. Madden, of Illinois, Republican Chairman of the Appropriations Committee of the House of Representatives, that income-tax reductions of $300,000,000 to $400,000,000 may be made. Smith Welcomed in
of $300,000,000 to $400,000,000 may be made. Smith Welcomed in Albany. Apart from a simple expression of regret that his personal friend, Senator Butler, was not returned from Massachusetts, the President has made no comment upon the trend of the election elsewhere, or upon the glowing success of the man who may be his Democratic rival in 1928 — Governor Alfred Smith, of New York. The President, however, yesterday read newspapers describing the enthusiastic welcome given to Governor Smith by thousands of persons in Albany when he arrived there during the afternoon. An impromptu parade was formed in his honor

The shake-up in the composition of the Senate will mean a reorganization of several of the important committees. The ranking members in most cases are Republicans, however, so that the losses in committees will not be severe. Senator David A. Reed, Republican, from Pennsylvania, may succeed Senator James W. Wadsworth, jr., of New York, as Chairman of the Military Affairs Committee. Senator Frances E. Warren, Republican, of Wyoming, is the
Committee. Senator Frances E. Warren, Republican, of Wyoming, is the ranking member but she will probably not give up the chairmanship of the Appropriation Committee. Senator Samuel M. Shortridge, Republican, of California, may take the chairmanship of the Elections Committee, vacated by the defeat of Senator Richard P. Ernst, Republican, of Indiana, is the ranking Senator James E. Watson, Republican, of Indiana is the ranking member, but he will probably not give up the chairmanship of the Interstate Commerce Committee. The chairmanships of the Indian Affairs Committee and of the Public Land and Surveys Committee must be filled, because of
Public Land and Surveys Committee must be filled, because of the defeat of Senator John W. Harreld and Senator Robert N. Stanfield. California Slightly Dry. The latest returns indicate that California has gone Dry by a narrow margin of about 30,000 votes. The result of the Prohibition referendum held there on Tuesday has been in doubt while returns came from distant districts. Of the eight States in which Prohibition referenda were held, only two voted Dry, California and Missouri. Senator Robert F. Wagner, Wet, Democrat, who defeated Senator Wadsworth in New York, says that he will introduce a Bill in
New York, says that he will introduce a Bill in the Senate calling for modification of the Volstead Act. NEW DRY FORMULA HITS BOOTLEGGERS WASHINGTON. — Bootleggers who re-distill "anti-freeze" mixtures and other forms of denatured alcohol, producing a product said as a beverage in violation of the Prohibition Law, are expected to find it difficult, if not impossible, in the future to continue such processes as a result of action taken by Mr. Mellon, Secretary of the Treasury. Upon the advice of chemists of the Prohibition Unit, the Secretary has approved a new formula for denaturing alcohol, which contains

In consequence, Prohibition enforcement officials believe that, after the first of the year, nostrils throughout the country will quiver and turn away from illegally recovered alcoholic beverages.

(Paris Times Special) LONDON, Saturday.—Both in Parliamentary and Labor circles a feeling of optimism continues concerning the possibility of an early end to the coal dispute. It
possibility of an early end to the coal dispute. It is generally agreed that the door to peace is now as wide open as it has been at any period during the dispute, and that the miners will not follow their recent tactical failures by closing it or allowing it to be closed. Admittedly, obstacles are likely to be discovered, but it is believed that they will be overcome by pressure from the Trade Union Congress. There was a full meeting of the Cabinet this morning to consider the proposals laid before it by the mediators from the Congress. When
laid before it by the mediators from the Congress. When they were empowered by the executive of the Miners’ Federation and the delegates from the coalfields to meet the Prime Minister and to lay before him the acceptance of the district agreements basis for negotiations, they also agreed to a reconsideration of wages and hours. The only stipulation that is insisted upon is the retention of some form of national semblance to the agreements and the signing of a national document embodying them. Meetings Continue. This afternoon representatives of the Government met the coal-owners and placed before them the new
Government met the coal-owners and placed before them the new proposals. There was some discussion, but the outcome of the meeting is not yet made known. In addition to the meeting of the Cabinet there have been several other conferences today between the various parties concerned in the dispute. Representatives of the Trade Union Congress have visited the executive of the miners and members of the Government. After one of these meetings Mr. Citrine, secretary of the Congress, said: “The Trade Union Congress has accomplished its task, which was to reopen negotiations on a solid and practical basis. The issue
reopen negotiations on a solid and practical basis. The issue now rests with the miners.” The Prime Minister is remaining in London for the weekend. The one outstanding point which remains to be settled is whether the Government will now legislate to compel the owners to submit local agreements to a national arbitration board. The several instances that have brought about the changed attitude in the miners are the pressure brought to bear upon them by other workers in the country and the fact that even if they carry on the fight for a further period, they must inevitably be
the fight for a further period, they must inevitably be beaten by economic circumstances. Militant Action Ends. In Labor circles generally, it has been remarked that the program of militant action and the "council of war" which were established by Comrade Cook and his executive, some weeks ago, have come to nothing. Of all the threatening moves that were planned, not one has succeeded. True, the miners have obtained a form of levy from the Trade Union Congress, but it is well known that it was granted only to save their faces and to avoid compromising their position should attempts
their faces and to avoid compromising their position should attempts be made at negotiations for peace. The fact that this levy is a voluntary one shows that it is little more than a gesture. The drive to bring the working miners out of the pits failed completely and there are more men working today than ever. The attempt to call out the safety men was abandoned when their attitude was made known. Riotous picketing has finished in all but a few isolated strongholds of the extremists and the request for an embargo on the handling of coal by other union
an embargo on the handling of coal by other union men met with a curt refusal. An example is the agreement between the Federation of Shipyard Owners and their employees. It is agreed that the lesson to be learned from the coal dispute is one that must be adopted in order to avoid such disputes in the future. The owners and men decided that, in the case of any dispute, the matter will be given a long and exhaustive examination in conference by the two parties before a strike or lockout is decided. EUROPE ASKS INTERVENTION FOR ITALIANS Messages urge

EXECUTION NOT NEAR Communists will not be sentenced before next February, and may be pardoned. From almost every country in Europe, but particularly from France, cable appeals have reached President Coolidge to interfere in the case of Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, the Italian Communists convicted for the murder of Alessandro Berardelli, a paymaster’s guard, at South Braintree, Massachusetts, on April 15, 1920. The latest communication is a telegram signed by four French Senators, chief among whom is M. Joseph Caillaux,
four French Senators, chief among whom is M. Joseph Caillaux, the former Premier. Since appeals to President Coolidge seem to be actuated by the belief that the two Communists are to be executed immediately, their appeal for a new trial having been denied by Judge Thayer of Dedham, Massachusetts, on October 23, an explanation is made today that Sacco and Vanzetti are not likely to be sent to death before next February, and that even then execution would be delayed for some time. It is generally believed that Governor Fuller, of Massachusetts, will commute the sentence or pardon the men.
of Massachusetts, will commute the sentence or pardon the men. When Judge Thayer refused the plea of Mr. William G. Thompson, counsel for the condemned radicals, for a new trial, he handed down an eighty-page decision outlining his reasons. Mr. Thompson examined Judge Thayer’s findings as a basis for filing a bill of exceptions. These cannot be argued before the Supreme Judicial Court, the court of last resort in the State, until January. This is the time when the men who were convicted in July, 1921, cannot be sentenced until the exceptions are disposed of. There is the possibility that
the exceptions are disposed of. There is the possibility that the Supreme Judicial Court will admit Mr. Thompson’s exceptions and overrule Judge Thayer, thereby granting a new trial on the basis of new evidence in the confession of Celestino F. Madeiros, a condemned murderer who said that he killed the South Braintree paymaster. Judge Thayer took the position that the confession was false. One of the considerations on which the Supreme Judicial Court will act will be the reporter’s statement of Judge Thayer that he “would show them that no long-haired anarchist from California can come to Massachusetts and run
long-haired anarchist from California can come to Massachusetts and run this court.” He referred to counsel for the defense, Mr. F. H. Moore, of California.

Parkes Cadman, pastor of the Central Congregational Church of Brooklyn and writer on popular subjects for newspapers, has withdrawn from the organization of a rodeo being given for benefit of a New York hospital. A rodeo means cruelty to animals, Dr. Cadman said after watching one performance in which a cowgirl was injured. “Rodeos may make money for the hospital, but they also make business for it,” Dr. Cadman remarked.
but they also make business for it,” Dr. Cadman remarked. Sci-volli, whose relations will be substanialised in part, and who admits being an anti-Fascist, has been taken into custody to corroborate or deny the Colonel's statements. The long interrogation last evening was followed by another this morning. Much has been learned to support original suspicions of double-dealings on the part of Garibaldi. Fascist Money Accepted. Colonel Garibaldi, whose military rank results from his share in the organisation of the Italian Legion fighting for France at the outbreak of the war, is said to have admitted in full his relations with
is said to have admitted in full his relations with Fascist leaders, at the same time that he was pretending to be an inspired organiser of anti-Fascist movements. For the past eight months, it appears, he has been a special agent in France for Signor Federzoni, Italian Minister of the Interior. Signor Federzoni resigned from office yesterday. During this period he is alleged to have received 400,000 lire, the last payment of 100,000 lire having been made in Nice a few days ago by Signor Ropalio, Chief of Police of Rome, who visited France under a false identity on official
Rome, who visited France under a false identity on official business and was ordered to return to Italy when he was recognised. Lack of money, heavy expenses and constantly increasing debts are believed the reasons set forth by Garibaldi for turning to the Italian Government for remuneration. Scivoli’s Declarations. Garibaldi and Scivoli were brought face to face last evening. Scivoli appears to have clearly established his position. Employed in Paris by Signor Santé Garibaldi, Ricciotti’s brother, Scivoli asserts that he was summoned to the Riviera by Ricciotti, who wished him to undertake a secret mission in Italy. Scivoli’s passport had
to undertake a secret mission in Italy. Scivoli’s passport had expired and Garibaldi took charge of it for renewal. The following day Scivoli was informed that the mission had been abandoned and he could return to Paris. When the French Secret police searched the effects of Signor Ropalio, in his hotel in Nice, Scivoli’s passport was discovered together with six photographs, made from that on his passport. It thus appears that Scivoli was little more than a dupe of Garibaldi and was to have been arrested in Italy upon his arrival as another fomenter of trouble residing on French soil.
arrival as another fomenter of trouble residing on French soil. In this same connection, unofficial information has been obtained that four letters were found among Garibaldi’s papers, addressed to anti-Fascists still living in Italy. These letters are said to have contained statements incriminating the recipient. Connection With Catalans. Garibaldi’s exact relations with the Catalan revolt that was nipped in the bud at Perpignan (Pyrenees-Orientales) have not yet been established. He has confessed to sending Italian Republicans to the aid of Colonel Macia, the Catalan patriot now in custody, and letters are said to have been discovered showing that he was
are said to have been discovered showing that he was collaborating in the movement. Revelations of his dealings with the Fascists, however, have led to the assumption by anti-Fascist Italians in France that Garibaldi might have been playing a similar game with Spain, working hand in glove with Madrid officials and, while aiding the embryonic revolt, was furnishing information to Spanish officials.

REBEL FUNDS RAISED IN SOUTH AMERICA (Paris Times Special) PERPIGNAN (Pyrénées Orientales), Saturday.—Colonel Macia, the Catalan patriot at the head of the proposed revolt against the Spanish Government, last evening consented to speak more freely of the conspiracy as it had been planned and its aim. The plot has been brewing for the past three years and funds to purchase equipment and arm for the rebels were collected largely in South America,

The Colonel did not admit or deny that aid had been offered by Ricciotti Garibaldi and his followers. Once the band had crossed the Spanish border it was expected that all Catalonia would rise in arms, permitting the establishing of autonomy for the province and possibly the overthrow of the Spanish Government.

(Paris Times Radio) SOMERVILLE, New Jersey, Saturday.—The Hall-Mills murder investigation of 1922 was useless so far as determining guilt was concerned, but it became useful to the prosecution in the second trial yesterday when the Special Prosecutor, Mr. Alexander Simpson, delved into the mass of documents representing the testimony given in 1922, and drew forth the quoted words of Mrs. Frances Stevens Hall, widow of the murdered New Brunswick rector, on the morning after the killings.
murdered New Brunswick rector, on the morning after the killings. Speaking to Mr. James Mills, husband of Mrs. Eleanor Mills whose body was found with that of the Rev. Echual W. Hall, Mrs. Hall is quoted as having said, when Mills told her that his wife had not come home the night before: “They're both dead" They (Mr. Hall and Mrs. Mills) were together and met the same fate. There must have been four players or they would have been home.” Mrs. Hall Spoke of Death. On the witness stand, stooped, broken, and old, Mr. Mills could not recall exactly
stooped, broken, and old, Mr. Mills could not recall exactly the words which Mrs. Hall had used four years before, but he knew that she had mentioned the death of her own husband and of his own wife. It was then that the Prosecutor drew forth the court reporter’s notes from the trial in 1922 and gave the exact words. It was a telling blow. The bodies had not yet been discovered when Mrs. Hall and Mr. Mills spoke early in the morning, and there was, apparently, no reason why Mrs. Hall should have thought Mr. Hall and Mrs. Mills
