Calles told newspaper sbondents at the White House yester- day after his visit with President #Foolidge. The President-elect added that by, this he did not refer to H. ., Cumniins, the British charge des ampha o Cal for lun un- archives, whose expulsion from Mex- | igo caused the interruption of diplo- matic relations between the two countries. The Cummins case, he said, is closed, | a8 Mexico would never yield to Great Britain on it. The Interruption of dommercial relations with England, in hig opinion, he declared, was a ques- tjon of greater interest to Great Britain than to Mexico. Gen. Calles said he had not come to any conclu- sfon as to whether u Conservative government in England would he rhore or less favorable to resuming rélations with his country than Labor was. {“Relations of Mexico with the United States, the President-clect said. were “excellent: most frank and cordial.” Fhe interchange of activities between the two countries, he added, was ever ificreasing, due to “a growing cor- diality, understanding and friend- «kip.” Asked whether application of the Mouroe doctrine might affect the Mexicau-British tangle, he replicd that ‘“Mexico is a sovereign country pd will discuss its own questions. At the same time he declared himself iB favor of a pen-American policy, as af great advantage to all countries concerned. F Wants More Fducation. - Outling his future policy as President af Mexico, Gen. Calles said he would strive_above all for greater cducation #mong all classes of Mexicans, as well a8 the general economic betterment of the people of Mexico. :In calling upon the Secretary of State, Gen. Calles was accompanied by Manuel 3. Tellez, charge d'affaires of the Mexi- can embassy, and J. Butler Wright, an Assistant Secretary of State. Secre- tary Hughes also accompanied him on s visit to the President. Both the call % the State Department and that at the hite House were brief, being limited 1§ an exchange of courtesies.

The hole in the coat at the outer point of entry was a single hole, The ng, however. because of a wrinkle. which detectives say could only exist when the wearer was seated when the bullet entered the garment, contained two holes, made by the same bullet. This discovery, made only vesterday, first led police to the definite conclu- that the man was not killed while standing. The second conclu- sion which was predicated on this one, was that the buliet either could been fired while, he himself, was examining the revolver, or while showing it to a friend seated nearby. But the question came up: “If such is the case. why didn't such se examination of h were worn by Shore: me while he Th sion a friend report this?"

Reaching this conelusion, Inspector Grant immidately attempted to reach Coroner Nevitt with a view either to holéing a supplemental inquest in the case or to having the police theory confirmed by authority of the coroner. The latter course is expected to be the one adopted. CAPT. R: C. bU Capt. R. C. Du Bois. 83 years old, .

ATTORNEY S EXPLAINS TRUCE IN TONG WAR Declares Armistice Terms Do Not Mean That Hip Sing Members Leave Capital. The th on ciation and the Hip Sing Tong, prin Als in 2 recent war, does not mean that members of the Hip Sing faction will have to leave Washington per- sonally, but that the activities of the last named tong will be suspend- ed in this jurisdiction, it was an- nounced today by Attorney Jerry C. South as his interpretation of the agreement pact recently signed in New York, which he helped to draw up. Mr. South said that the agreement made a definite arrangement for dis- continuance of hostilities for a two- week period, during which time the opposing factions expected to get together and settle upon a_ system whereby both could live in the same localities in harmony without fear of violence and disorder because of differences in principles and opinions. An be interprets and construes the agrewnent, Mr. South said, in so far as Weshington is concerned, the Hip Sing »@g will cease to function and the On Zeong faction will continue in operation, but he stated that it was not his opinion that the 150 members of the Hip Sing Tong here would have to pack up their belongings and withdraw to other climes. Pleasure was expressed at the Chinese Legation at the manifest in- tention of the Chinese citizens to bridge differences and enter into an era of harmony. two-week truce between Renounce Throne Revived; Publicity Stirs King BY JOHN GUNTHER. By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News. LONDON, - November 1.—The Prince of Wales may possibly re- ‘ nounce his right to the throne of England. - This rumor.kept the prince eager company during his trip from America on the liner Olympic last week and greeted him as it was whispered through the crowds when he arrived at Southampton, home again after his vacation. The rumor set the whole boat buzzing before the vovage was half-way done. The prince himself scoffed at it. But one of his aides went to the trouble of issuing an official denia Perhaps the circulation of the rumor was one reason for the ex- traordinary censorship on the Olympic. As soon as it was dis- covered that there were several newspaper men on board orders were issued that every message must be told both by the purser and Capt. Lascelles, the prince's secre- tary. Very few messages passed this board of censorship and any that did were limited to 20 words. Another reason for this strin- gent-:censorship eame with the knowleged vouchsafed by officials ) of the White Star line, that King George himself had become highly displeased with the publicity given his heir while in America, and wanted it stopped. - Still a third reason was the pres- ence on shipboard of a girl who can be described only as the “mys- tery woman.” She was never seen in the daylight, and no one is known to have recognized her on the deck. But every evening she appeared, dressed magnificently and sitting alone in a cloud of furs in the Parisian restaurant. The White Star people said her name was not on the passenger list and refused to disclose It. The prince, however, discovered the beautiful lady of mystery the third day out from New York, and from that time on, as all observers agreed, they were inseparable. She disembarked at Cherbourg, where the boat arrived at 6:14 o'clock Friday morning. But the prince was up to see her off. The prince danced only occasionally ‘with other women among the pas- sengers, chiefly with Mra. H. P. Peabody of New York and Miss Esmee Magann of Toronto, whem he met in Canada a few weeks back and who made the trip with her mother. fia Gepicighte LA, Ry Chicsgo DUy Newa Coq ! ] 1/ Mr. Rudolph said that it was his top” and “go” signs of the traffic officers | loanou. who met many Greek Is Charged As Detective and Selling “Pull” Declared to Have Marketed Everything From Down- town Parking Space to Immunity “From “Whe the tugging, in Greeke joined Greeks. then tug-of-war the case was But of Greeks, seem ~d conspicuous by flowed swiftly and alleged. into the who was arrested today.

K.'S COOLIDGE AND DAVIS Civil Service League Finds Both Candidates in Sympathy With Aims of Group. President Coolidge 1 w Davis, the Democratic candidate for President. have gone on record strongly favoring the merit in filling government positions. The National Civil crvice Reform League, following its custom in the past. made inquiry of the leading candidates for President as to their respective attitudes on this subject A statement issued by the leagu: quotes the following reply from Mr Javis: “‘1 take pleasure in stating that [ am in thorough accord with the peldges of the Democratic party to comply with the spirit as well as the letter of the civil service law, and to extend the provisions of the civil service to officers and employes of the Government not in executive po sitions. let me say further that I am absolutely opposed to the abuses now existing in certain Wederal d¢ partments whereby the seloction of the eligibles from civil service lists is controlled by unblushingly polit- ical methods.” Then, referring to Mr. attitude on the merit system, league statement continues: “In view of the fact that President Coolidge has indicated to officers of the league in personal interviews his sympathy with the objects of thc league, he was not asked for a writ- ten statement at this time. In his last message to Congress President Coolidge, when he advocated the civil service classification of presidential postmasters and employes of the pro- hibition enforcement unit, said: ‘The best method of selecting public =ery ants is the merit system.” ‘No statement has been received yo! by the league from Mr. La Follette systen Coolidge's the Homer's Daughter to Sing.
