J., Sept. 22.—*| The mystery of who killed the Rev. Jchn the Evangelist and his choir leader, Mrs, Eleanor Reinhart Mills, wife of the church sexton, seemed. as far from solution today as it was nearly a week ago when the bodies were found. Authorities turned to questioning the individual members of the little church, indicating the investigators give some weight to the theory ad- vanced by Ellis Parker, county de- tective, that the slain couple may have been the victims of a person inspired by religious fanaticism. An obsession to be censorious of the conduct of the clergyman may have prompted the crime, according to this theory. While the investigators have in- dicated they have a delinite theory and ‘that it poirts to a certain in- dividual they have been slow to make their conclusions public until they complete the inquiry.. Both Mills and Mrs. Hall are vigorous in declaring they do not believe stories of improper relations between the’, pair. The widow of the slain rec- tor is said to believe her husband and Mrs. Mills were killed as a re- sult of mistaken identity. She has also elt that robbery prompted the, crime. Authorities investigating the’slaying of the Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall and Mrs, Eleanor Reinhart Mills, his choir leader, turned again to James Mills, husband of the dead woman, in their efforts to solve the mystery which six days of probing has only served to deepen Mills was re-examined at length but authoritia; declined to indicate what line the questioning took. It was understoood, however, that they made strenous efforts to help him re- call the name of the woman who he says told him several months ago that gossips were linking the names of Mrs. Mille and Mr. Hall. The questiening of church mem- bers also continued today. The questioners were ready to follow lines supporting any one of three theories, That the murders were committed with a jealousy motive . That they were committed by black mailers who had become desperate. That they were committed by some self-appointed “moral censor” in the minister’s flock. The only theory which has been advanced that they appeared unwill- ing to consider sevtously was that of a robbery motive. Their firmest faith, however, is pinned to the jeal- ously motive. ‘ INITIATE CLASS Wilton, N. D., Sept. 22—L. G.

MINOT POLICE IN GUN FIGHT WITH YEGGS Safe in Filling Station Wreck- ed But Only $250 Is Secured ~—— Minot, N.

Approximately twenty shots were; exchanged between the police and the four men, who split up into} paihs as soon as the battle opened. | Patrolmen Lee Brudage and Earl Bronson, hearing a commotion in the vicinity’, of the oil station,| which is at the end ‘of second street northeast, were standing on the op- | posite side of the street when the’ men came out- of the: alley. They: commanded the fleeing men to halt and received as an answer a fusilade | of bullets, all of which went wide of their mark, They retaliated with several shots and the party split up, two of the men running south and the other two dodging back in- to the alley. Authorities today were attempting | to ascertain the identity of the per- | son who drove an auomobile up to the filling station at,the time the robbers were working in the office, and who was greeted with several shots from the guns of the yeggs. The safe, a large one, was badly wrecked by the explosion. i FIVE NEAR DEATH FROM | EATING FUNGUS Out of Food They Consume Poisonous Matter to TURKISH FORCES Town of Ez-Ine_ Blocking Movement of English Ships Through Dardanelles Is Taken THRACE IS OBJECTIVE Greece Prepares to Defend What She Considers “Home Territory” — French and Italians Have Withdrawn (By the Associated Press) Paris, Sept. 22.—The French cab- inet today decided that in view of the refusal of the British to with- draw their forces from Chanak on the Asiatic side of the Dardanells, the efforts of the French government should be directed toward prevent- ing war between Turkey and Great Britian. To this end it was agreed immediately to send Frankln Bouil- lon to Smyrna, TAKE TOWN ON DARDANELLES Constantinople, Sept. 22.—Turks seized the. town of Ez-Ine, on the Asiatic side of the Dardanelles and are threatening Kum Kalesi, an im- portant ‘Key position to the South- ern side of the straights.

The National move, in the opinion of the naval experts here, will en- able the Turks to prevent free in- gress through the Dardanelles of the British Atlantic fleet units which are on the way. from Malta, The important positions involved were up to today occupied by the French andthe Italians, and from them the heavy Turkish batteries can command the entrance to the straights. General Pelle, French high com- missioner here, returned yesterday from his mission to Smryna. It is understand he had little success in his attempt to persuade Mustapha Kemal Pasha of the inexpediency of crossing the straits and occupying Thrace, It is believed Kemal point- ed out that observance of the neu- trality of the straits by the Nation- alists could be predicated only upon adequate guarantees from the Allies that Thrace would be restored to Turkey.
