The nationalist assembly protested agalnst the Con- “tantinopie government being in- vited and let the allies understand that the nationalists would refrain from attending. The allies ylelded to the threat, declaring that this was a matter which should be settled be- tween the two Turkish governments. Already Settled in Their Eyes. From the nationalist point of view the question is already settled. The assembly decided not to answer the grand vizier's telegram asking wheth- er to accept the allied invitation. The til the nationalists were fully in- stalled in Constantin the city should be governed by a municipal council headed by a delegate from Angora, with the rsnk of high com- missioner.

Though the allies have announced the city until after peace is signed, it is Teported that the nationalists insist that the town shall be handed over as soon as possible. They point- ed out that the peace conference may lJast many months and that, as the allles had announced their intention of witharawing, it would be just as well to hand the clty over to the nationalist civil authorities now, as the Turkish nation was eager to re- galn possession of its beloved capital.

[PROMINENT - FINANCIER Began Career as Lawyer—Was Much in Public Eye During, Recent Strike. By the Ansociated Press. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., November 2.— Thomas Dewitt Cuyler, a director of | thegPennsylvania Railroad Company and chairman of the Railroad Executives' | Assoclation, was found dead today in | the private car of President Rea of the Pennsylvania, in Broad Street sta- tion. Mr. Cuyler was in Rochester, i N. Y., yesterday, and was apparently in j ood health. Found by Porter. The private car arrived at Broad Street station early today and was | placed on a side track. According to in- structions, a porter called Mr. Cuyler at 8 am. He received no response and becoming alarmed summoned an at- tendant and a physician. The doctor pronounced Mr. Cuyler dead. Death was due to a heart attack. He had been idead a little more than an hour, ac- cording to the opinion of the physician. Mr. Cuyler was a lawyer, but most of his time was taken up with rail road and financial affairs. He came prominently before the country in the recent railrogd shop strike by virtue of his position as chairman of the railway executives and took a firm stand against some of the demands of the strikers, especially that relating to senlority. Sixty-Eight Years Old. Mr. Cuyler was born in Philadel- phia and was sixty-eight years old. He was the son of the late Theodore Cuyler, at one time general counsel { of the Pennsylvania railroad. He was | graduated from Yale University in 11574 and was admitted to the bar in Philadelphia in 1876. He engaged in the general practice of law, making | | corporation law a specialty. He was | counsel for many large financial and railroad corporations in Pennsylvania and other states. He was engaged in many of the most complicated and | important railroad reorganizations of | the past twenty-five years. Mr. Cuyler was elected a director of the Pennsylvania railroad in 1899. He was also a director of the new York, New Haven and Hartford railroad and the Santa Fe system. He was alaoi represented on the directorate of | many local organizations and financial | think them." “At noon, when Mrs. Hall came to my house, I told her I had not heard anything ‘and she said she had not either. Then she went away. She is incorrect in her statements that she {hd not come to my house again at 5:20 o'clock. I remember that I had Just returned with some ice and put- was Mrs. Hall's reply. something has happened to ting it in the refrigerator. She stay- ed only a minute. .

I had an idea that Dr. Hall and my wife had been together, but I did not think there was anything wrong. I don't know why I ever suggested an elope- ment.” Commenting on Mrs. Hall's state- ment that she was not vindictive and that she did not care to see any one punished for the murders, Mills said: “I am not vindictive, either, but § want to see the murderer punished, I believe it was a woman's deed. Al} these theories about blackmail and robbery and things are rot. It w jealousy, and T think her throat was cut in spite because of her beautiful singing. I never heard any gossip about my | wife and Dr. Hall. If T had I would inot have stood for it for a single minute.

I would have gone to Mr. Hall, and if he would not listen I would have gone to the bishop and to the vestry.” Mills said he had never heard of his wife having trouble with anybody and said he knew of no enemies that Dr. Hall might have had. “There was plenty of gossip about members of the choir, though,” he added. Officials Nom-Committal. Officials conducting the Inquiry into ! the murder declined to comment this | morning on the interview given by Mrs. Hall. Stenographic transcripts were in the hands of both Special Deputy Attorney General Wilbur A. Mott and his chief investigator, De- tective James F. Mason. The detective said, however, that two witnesses had stated that Mrs. Hall entered her home at 2:10 o'clock on the morning after the murders in- stead of 3:30, as she told the newspaper men. He said also that these two witnesses sald she was alone. Mrs. Hall said her brother, Willle Stevens, was with her. Efforts were continued to identify institutions. Interested in Military Affairs, Mr. Cuyler took an interest in mili- | tary matters. He enlisted in the Na- tional Guard of Pennsylvania in 1874, rose to the rank of judge advocate] general of the state and was on the | retired roll of officers with the rank i of colonel. Mr. Cuyler was a member of many clubs in Philadelphia and also of the Union, Century, University and Lawyers' of New York, the Buffalo | Club and the Chicago Club. Mr. Cuyler also was interested in music and was a director of the Metropolitan Opera Company of New York and of a similar organization in Philadelphia. Apoplexy was the exact cause of the man described by Mrs. Jane Gib- !son, pig woman, as the murderer. It {was pointed out that little would be accomplished in going before the grand jury at this time with Mrs. Gibson's alleged eyewlitness account because it specifically statad that the woman she saw on the old Phillips farm did not commit the murders.

Because Mrs. President Harding today celebrated the fifty-seventh anniversary of his birth almost as quietly am simply as the average American citizen ob- serves a birthday. There were no indications at the White House of anything more than just an ordinary day in the life of the chief executive of the land.

The fact that today was his birth- day, however, was not forgotten by the close friends of the executive or by the nation and the world at'larg All diy long—the beginning really was yesterday—telegraph wires at the White House ticked and messenger boys arrived carrying messages of birthday greetings, many of them from rulers of other countries. Close acquaintances of Mr. Harding remarked today on the recent im- provement in his physical condition. A month ago the straln of two years for it was just two years ago today that Mr. Harding was elected to the presidency—had become noticeable. A summer of continuous work without a vacation, the trobuled industrial | situation, and finally Mrs. Harding's | iliness, had increased the strain. Lessening of Temsion. Adjournment of Congress, adjust- ment of the major industrial contro- versies and the steady progress to- ward recovery made by Mrs. Harding allowed the tension to lessen.

H ROME, November 2.—The authority, | the energy and the earnestness with which Mussolini has taken hold of Italian affairs, both internal and ex- ternal, has created a deep impression in Rome. His imperative instructions to Count Sforza to remain at his post in Paris until he had reached a decision in the cases of ambassadors who offered to resign and his circular to the pre- fects “exaqting” their utmost en- deavors and collaboration were re- garded as a strong indication of the method the new government is going to use in dealing with the business at home and abroad. In like manner a hint as to the manner of running the government Mussolini will pursue was given by his message yesterday to the Press Association, in which he said he intended to safeguard the lib- erty of the press on_ condition that the press proves worthy of liberty.

Not only is the lack of funds for supplies seriously hindering the med- fcal department’s work, but salaries paid the medical inspectors and other employes are so low that virtually it has been impossible, for the authori- ties to flll an existing vacancy on the medical inspection staff. The vacan- cy was created by the resignation of Dr. Louise Taylor Jones, the staff's only woman physiclan. Under the law, one woman physi- cian must be a member of the staff.

The plan to make the minimum pe- riod for being late but ten minutes at s re- garded as a somewhat daring ven- ture, as some believe that it may tend to make emploves careless i to_being late. “Oh, it is only ten minutes,” ‘they are expected to say, whereas now an employe knows that if he is late in! the morning he will be “soaked” for | a full” half hour. However, officials believe in the innate goodness of hu- man nature. They point to the rec- ords for tardiness in the department as evidence of their faith. Only Eight in 2,000 Records for a certain day recently, for instance, show that of the ap- proximately 2.000 employes of the Post Office Department, but eight persons reported tardy. It is be- {lieved that in simple justice to those | who are late the minimum period | should be cut to ten minues. The ex- periment will be watched with great interest by bureau heads in other departments. { Under the new plan, if an employe is late one minute ten minutes will be ate. charged against his annual leave; if late eleven minutes, twenty minutes against his leave, and 80 on. Advo- cates of @fe new plan declare that it will make for efficlency and being on time, since now some employes, if late {a minute or two, are tempted to stay | out until almost 9:30 a.m., since they will be charged with being that late, anyway.

Difficult Problem. These matters of tardiness and sick leave have long been regarded by officials in the departmental service as very hard to handle, it being ad- mitted by officials, without in any way reflecting upon the employes. There are always some employes, it is admitted, who will abuse tardy and sick leave privileges, but the number is held comparatively small when con- sidered with the majority of the em.- ployes, who have high standards of conduct.
