LONDON, October 20.—Premler Designate Bonar Law in & mes- sage to the mewspapers this after- noon says: “if 1 am elected the leader of the conservative party 1 be in n position to advise the king order immediately the dissolution ot parl.ament. This would give plenty of time to the lLrish home rule bill through. LONDON, October :0. — Andrew Bonar Law appeared to be making rapid progress today in forming & cabinet to replace the fallen coalition government. This was evidenced by the announcement that Marqu.s Cur- zon and the Earl of Derby, both men of influence and experienced cabinet ministers, have agreed to serve under Lim in any capacity. Mr. Bonar Law canuot officially announce the for- E sn of his ministry until he is ected head of the unlonist party to succeed Austen Chamberiain but it is generally conceded that this election will be only a formality. Although the split in the unionist ranks has deprived him of sucn cabi- net material as Mr. Chamverlain, Lord Birkenhead. the Earl of Balfour and some lesser lights, political experts believe Bonar Law_ will fisd plenty of timber among the younger members of the party who have shown promise in the political fleld and are marked for advancement at & favorable moment. Busy Seeking Eligibles. The premier-designate was busy seeking out eligibles at an early hour today. His secretary declared he is in good health again and ready to “buckle to” the work which lays before him. Certainly he is giving every evidence of his old intense en- ergy, though whether he is strong enough to stand the long hard strain of office is problematical Meanwhile Mr. Lloyd George, bereft of his rank as prime min.ster, but #till_giving evidences of retaining to the full the indomitable courage and fighting spirit which have char- acterized his thirty-odd years of po- litical life, was making his way to- day along the first stage of his trek “into the wilderness” with those of = comrades who had remained faithful to his leadership. Whether he was hoping that chance would | smile upon him and jead him quickly along some as vet undisco.ered pata 1o a realm of remewed poiitical pros- perity. or whether he was planning the ploneering job of hewing a new way out, none could say, except the little Weishman himself. Perhaps even he did not know, for the si.ua. tion remained one of great com- plexity. Pol 1 Cauldron Seething. Britain Not to Alter Policy Toward United States Debt Geddes May Direct] Refunding Parley Here Soon. Cabinet Fqll Puts Horne Aside as Mission Head. By the Assoc'ated Press, : LONDON. October 20.—The govern- ment's policy toward the British debt to the United States will remain un- changed. regardless of who may be the next chancellor of the exchequer, it was emphasized today in official circles. One thing that is certaln is that Sir Robert Horne, who was chancel- lor of the exchequer in the Lloyd George cabinet, will not head the British mission to Washington to discuss the war debt. He was sched- uled to sail about October 30, but it generally 1s conceded that his suc- cessor will not be able to leave by that time. ‘Whether the new chancellor of the exchequer will go to Washington is problematical. It was intimated In official circles that if America is in-.a hurry to get on with the negotiations | SIR AUCKLAND GEDDES., the British government might dele- gate the task of representing it to Bir Auckland Geddes, the ambassador to the United States, and some per- manent member of the treasury. But since Great Britaln has pald its latest interest installment on the debt it was generally belleved that the American government would be quite willing to await the appointment of a new cabinet before talking about what 1s to be done about the prin- ctoal.

But what- ever fate might have in store, it was was certain Mr. Lloyd George was entering a stage of his career which would call for all his skill and craft. It was equaily certain that he would preve to be a ditficult opponent in the coming battles, as there are ad- mittedly few men in the country who possess such mastery of the art of politics as he. The unionists, the liberals and the iaborites alike were conferring and working intensely in an attempt to solve the problem confrogting them. . Former Premier Asquith, who was in the country when ne hearu of lne collapse of the Lloyd George govern- ment, rusaed back to town this morn- ng to contey with his colleagues as to what line the liberals should adopt, «nd other conferences were proceed- ing among the various party leaders. 1t is declared in high political cir- cles that the government which Mr. Bonar Law has in Vicw w.. we pie- -pared to continue in all essential re- spects the work of the late ministry. The keynotes of his program, it is! indicated, will be the strictest econ- omy in internal aumimistrat.on and a better understanding with the aliles in international affairs. Conservatives Seek Leader. The conservative party organizers were busy today arranging the meet- ing at which a leadsr will be elected to succeed Austen Chamberlain. It is understood that the Carlton Club, which yesterday saw the deposition of the old leader, will be-the scene of the choice of his successor. 1t is believed in conservative quar- ters that the cabinet will be com- pleted before the end of next week. This prediction ignures dark hints from some coalition sources of the aifficulties which Bonar Law may per- haps encounter. Prominence is given to a story that Lloyd George proposes 1o form_ a center party with Mr. Chamberlain and the leading co lition (Continued on Page 2, Column 4.) 8 DEAD, 4 INJURED, INMINE EXPLOSION By the Associated Press, McCURTAIN.

IWATERS CONVICTED INGAMBLING TRIAL |Appeals After Verdict of Guilty as Operator of “Doherty’s Club.” Dicc Table Set Up in Courtroom to. Show How It Is Operated. Edward (Eddie) Waters, charged managing and conducting a gambling den, known as “Doherty’s Club,” near the Alexandria corporation line, was convicted today In the Arlington coun- ty police court by Judge William C. Gloth and sentenced to six months in the county jail. Attorney Carl Budwesky of Alex- andria, Waters' attorney, noted an appeal, which was granted by Judge Gloth. He will be given a hearing on the appeal before Judge Samuel G. Brent, In the Arlington county cir- cuit court, next Thursday morningat 10 o'clock. Dokerty Case Postpomed. Because he is sick Doherty did not appear at the courthouse for the trial, and his case was postponed untll Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock. At- torney Rudwesky, who also repre- sents Doherty, submitted to the court a statement signed by Dr. Walter A. Warfleld, declaring that Doherty is i1l and not able to stand trial. When arraigned before Judge Gloth Waters, through his counsel, entered a plea of not guilty. The customary efforts of the defense to have the case dismissed on account of a technicality were overruled. At- torney Budwesky contended that there was nothing in the warrant aga.nst Waters to show that he was interested in receiving a “rake off” or profits in the gaming alleged to have been conducted at “Doherty’s ! Club. Paraphernalia ia Court. Gambling paraphernalia seized by the county officers when they raided Doherty’s place last Monday adorned the courtroom in front of the judge's bench. It included dice, dice cups, cards, poker chips, two green bai: and_combination of numbers on a pair of dice and odds on certain figures.

For the benefit of the court and the spectators unfamiliar with the meth- od of playing the dice tables, John Wise, the prosecution’s principal wit- ness, gave a demonstration of how the game is played.

HALL'S MAID AGAIN SUMMONED IN MURDER QUIZ Jersey Authorities “Forging Last Link in Chair of Evidence.” CONFLICT OVER PRIVATE PAPERS OF RECTOR Business Man Tells Police He Saw Quaint Auto Near Scene of Tragedy. BY DAN RING. Staff Correspondent of The Star. NEW BRUNSWICK, October 20.— That the last link in a carefully welded chain of evidence in the Hall- Mills murder case is being forged todsy is definitely assured follow- ing the announcement that Barbara Tough, servant at the Hall house, has been summoned again for ques- tioning by Prosecutors Beeckman and Strickar. Information to this ef- fect is semi-officlal, This is the second time that the maid has beéen called for a quizzing. She was one of those who was ques- tion with Mrs. Hall two days ago. when three members of the Hail family were closeted with the prose- cutors for three hours. It is definitely understood that Prosecutor _Stricker of Middlesex county, in which New Brunswick is located, will lay his evidence on the table and demand action by Prose- cutor Beeckman of Somerset county, which adjoins Middlesex, and in which the spot where the bodies were found is located, just morth of the boundary of the county border, in Somerset county. Papers Reported Missing. Missing papers, contradictory stories about private papers of Dr. Hall and the announcement that Florence North, self-retained attorney of the Mills family, was still their legal representative, were the features to- | day of the New Jersey murder mys- tery which has surrounded the slay- ing of Dr. Edward Wheeler Hall and Mrs. Eleanor Mills more than =z month ago- Despite the statement yesterday that Edwin Carpender, cousin og Mrs. Hall, had removed ten documents of Dr. Hall on the of the discovery of the bodies, information directly to the contrary was uncovered today. This information may disclose the weak link of a atrongly welded chain that has been a barrier to investiga- tors of the (rageg). Mmiss Muue Uge, first of all. stated that when she went to the Mills home on the aftermoon that he vodies wer- ci:eOvcrea =ne found Addison Clarke there. “No Werd About Vestments.” He told her, so she says, that his wife and Edward Carpender had gone to the church to “get some private papers of Dr. Hall” “Not a word was said about vest- ments,” declared Miss Opie. “The car used by Carpender, which I saw when they came back to the house, Was & one like a Ford coupe.” | from { He said he went after vestments and that he brought them to the under- taking establishment. John V. Hubbard, the ‘undertaker, !is not sure whether it was on Satur- {day or Sunday that he got the vest- i ments. But two persons who were at {the Hall home on the afternoon of i the discovery of the bodies are cer- | tain_and positive that they saw Car- i pender taking pupers out. A missing diary written by Mrs. Mille, to be given to Dr. Hall after his vacation in Maine, may prove the key to the mystery, it was indicated by the authorities today. There must have been many letters, also which were sent between Mrs. Mills and Dr. Hall which have not been uncovered because verification of events men- tioned in the letters lead investigators to the opinion that those already pub- lished were of very recen: date.
