Jrotestant Episcopal Cannot Remarry Unless Divorce Granted for Infidelity. Portland, Ore, Sept. 23.—Com- municants of the Protestant Episco- pal church‘in the United = States afe forbidden to marry divorced persons, except. in cases- where divorce has been granted on the gro®ind ‘of infi- delity. 'This is #he result of she action takén here last night by the house of deputies of the general triennial, con- vention, confirming a measure passed previously by the house of bishops. The former = law of the church merely forbade clergymen to perform a marriage ceremony where either party to it had ben divorced for a cause other than infidelity. The new canon doés not provide punishment for members of the church disobey- ing it, but there was pending before the convention today a resolution by Bishop Cameron Mann of the diocese of south Florida for the excommuni- cation of persons remarrying contrary to the divorge canon. When the deputies were many seats vacant, many dele- gates having departed for their homes. Only a few deputies arose to ask questions and there was no op- position. - The concordat, an arrangement whereby Congregational clergymen may be ordained by Episcopal bish- ous, also was ratified by the deputies.

J., Sept. 23.— (By Associated Press)—For the first time since the s'aying of the Rev. Ed- ward W, Hall and Mrs. Eleanor Mills the rector's 'widow, Mrs. Francis Hall was taken to the offices of County Prosecutor Sticker today for examina- tion. Mills Had Objected Such questioning of Mrs. Hall as has been done heretofore has been at her home. James Hills, husband of the slain choir singer protested last hight because he had bheen repeatedly summoned to the prosecutor’'s office and even asked point blank whether he was the murderer while -Mrs. Hall had been shown greater consideration by the authorities A sudden penchant for fall vaca- tions which has led several members of the flock of the Rev. Hall to close up their homes andfleave New Bruns- wick, today intensified the desire of authorities mvosfiza’ng the slaying, to talk with these pérsons. Subpoenas Are Out The prosecutor prepared a sheaf of grand jury subpoenas for persons be- lieved to have information that would | shéd light on the motive for the slay- ings. Adhering to the theory that'a jeal- ous woman caused or committed the murders, the authorities nevertheless were running down clues pointing in other directions—among them indica- tions that blackmail might have been the motive. Auto Theory Probed ankle had Heah ‘broken and tae pe- culiar nature of one of the wounds In Mr. Hall's head made it appear that the pair might have been attack- ed in an automobile. A leap from the car would have accounted for Mrs. Mills broken ankle, and also for scratches previously believed to have been inflicted in a struggle with a woman preceding, the shooting. Possibility that the bodies might be exhumed for further investigation loomed when it was learned that Dr. E. R. Cronk, city health officer had been retained by Mrs. Hall, who, it is said was not satisfled with the results of the autopsy conducted by the cor- oner's physician.

He reports a feeling throughout the coun- ty that New Rritain should receive the congressional nomination this year, not having had the honor in 30 years Asgurances of support are coming in daily, his friends say. ' The consensus of opinion in local political ecircles is that Spellacy's fol- lowers will hop on the Halloran band wagon in appreciation for what the Halloran-controlled delegation did at the state convention.

ATITRDAY SI‘PTIL\’IBI‘R 23, 1922, HALLORAN DRIVE T0 [GARAGE REPAIRMAN MAY LOSE POSITION Have Each Department Care for Its Own Cars Mayor A, M. Paonessa is conferring with the chairman of various boards relative to a plan whereby the work at the municipal garage will be cared for directly by the department, thus making it possible to dispense with the mechanic. It is the contention of the mayor that the present manner of conducting the municipal garage s proving far too expensive It s pointed out that with a number of old cars on hand, the expense of re pairs in the garage cost the clty ap proximately $250 a month It is planned to have the old cars disposed of at a public auction and to purchase mew automobiles to take the place of those sold. With new equipment it is the claim of the mayor that there need be no repair man kept at the garage, and that any work that need be done on the ma- chines can be cared for under the sep- arate boards. ™ The mayor believes that a member of the police department can be kept in touch with the garage, so that f{t can be opened and closed when nec- essary. The garage is now managed by a committee, and at a future meet- ing of the common council, Mayor Paonessa will recommend that the new plan be adopted. | DURYEA NAMED South Norwalk, Sept. 23.—George W.

COAL COMING IN But Local Dealers Are at a Loss as to What Price to Ask—No Two Cars Have Same Cost. A few carloads of anthracite coal have arrived in this city during the week and are being sold to consum- ers, according to the orders of the city fuel commission. The amount being received is so small that it hardly compares with the usual demand. Pea coal is selling from $16 to $17 a ton and nut coal at §20 This price is subject to change at any minute, according to local dealers One man said this morning that two cars may arrive at the same time and the cost of each car may vary as much as $5 a ton. He said he had 11 cars on the road and every car was bought at a different price,’ so that it is impossible for local dealers to name a staple price until company coal begins to arrive, instead of small shipments from independent work- ings.

Separate communications probably will be forwarded as a re- sult of the final session of the allied meeting this afternoon. British Gov’'t. Silent The British government has refused to commit itself on any of the nation- alist claims before the peace confer- ence has had an opportunty to discuss them. France, however favors the immediate aceptance of the Angora demands and thih attitude was ap- proved by the French oabinet at its meeting today. Italy will probably join with France in her note to Mustapha Kemal.

Londnn, Hept. 23.—(By usp\-mo(‘ Press.)—Ugly reports continue to come from Constantinople and sev- eral more units of the Atlantic fleet, including the battleship Revenge, have been ordered to prepare for service in the Dardanelles. Among the latest dispatches from the Near East, many of which are more or less alarming, is a report to the Times to the effect that large forces of Kemalist cavalry. have reached Adramyti from Smyrna, moving toward the neutral zone. (Adramyti i 50 miles southeast of Chanak, near the Guif of Adramyt.) Moving Guns Ashore. British land and sea reinforcements are rapidly arriving, the dispatch adds, and the hot, dry weather f{s greatly facilitating the movement of guns ashore. Another report states that the Turkish officers in Bigha communi- cated with the British commander in Constantinople and asking to be in- formed of the precise line bounding the neutral zone. This was done and the Turks, according to the report, assured the British they had no or- ders nor intentions as yet to violate the neutrality of the zone. Turks Ready For Peace. A more favorable side of the ple« ture is presented by the Paris cor- respondent of the Times, who reports that the French naval commander, Admiral Dumesnil, sent his govern- ment a most reassuring dispatch re. garding his interview with Mustapha Kemal Pasha, He said that he found the Turks “entirely tractable and ready to enter negotiations without delay."
