KEMALIST MAY RESEN BRITAIN'S ACTION IN CLOSING UP CUSTOMS Constantinople, Nov. 7,—The British authorities have ordered the custom house closed and announce they will operate®@he customs under the former tariff convention. This is almost cer- tain to provoke opposition and " resentment among the Kemalists who - are seeking to establish their own customs regime, 1 Constantinople, Nov. 7 (By the As- soclated Press)—There is reason to belfeve that the Kemalists will climb down off their high horses. 'The Al-| lies have now taken a'strong united attitnde toward the demands of the Angora government that the Allied | troops evacuate' Constantinople and | that only one warship at a time enter | Turkish ports and then only with the | consent of Angora authorities. Meeting Ts Positive. The demands of the Kemalists, which the Alifed commissioners have refused to grant, and the new crisis Which has arigen from this situation was the subject of a conference held yesterday between the Allied generals and Rafet Pasha, the new civil gover- nor of Constantinople, the Ruters correspondent has learned. The tone of this meeting was sharp and positive, in strong contrast to the | previous meetings, which were char- cterized by friendly and mutual con- eration. The Allied generals¥nformed Rafet Pasiha in clear terms that they in- tend to retain military authority in Constantinople until it is decided to formally turn the area over to the Turks, Asks Allled Withdrawal Rafet then said he was anxious to agree with the Allies and work in unison with them but that he could rot accept outside control in any form. He added that he would have to refer to the Angora government for further instructions and would again consult with the Allied representatives today. Lieut, Gen. Sir Charles Harrington, in command ot British forces at Cons stantinople told Rafet that he was apparently trying to usurp the au- thority of the Allied generals. - The Turkish leader then declared that Angora had asked for the removal of the Allied troops and warships. Rafet Is Dictator. Rafet has assumed control of all services for maintaining public order us well as the departments of public administration here. He has been dismissing officials right and left and closing the customs. Reminding him nationalist leader that apparently he had forgotten there was a treaty of Mudros sighed October 30, 1928, bringing an end to hostilities between the Allied powers and Turkey. He inded the governor of the city that this armistice treaty was not superseded by the Mudania conven- tion. Lieut. Gen, Harrington then de- clared that Constantinople would eventually be turned over to the na- tionalists and he thought that this might take place within a few weeks. May Stop U. S. Aid It is feared that all American relief efforts in the Near East may have to be stopped if the nationalists insist upon the imposition of the customs duties prescribed by the Angora gov- ernment. Two mill pounds of miscellaneous relief supplies belong- ing to the Near East Relief on board th&. U, 8. Shipping Board steamer Eaugus cannot he landed from the harbor here because the nationalists demand duties aggregating almost the total value of the cargo, which s about $200,000. 3 The Near East relief has .an ad- ditional large cargo on flie way from New York on the Coeur d'Alefie, and this cannot be landed unless the An- gora authorities waive the imposition of the excessive tariff. Military Activities. Three additional classes of Turkish soldiers have been called to the colo According to Turkish nationalist headquarters, the British forces are retiring from Mosel on the Tigris in northern Mesopotamia, and the Kem- alists are entering the evacuated area. French Send Warship. Paris, Nov. 7. (By Associated Press)—The allled high commission- ers at Constantinople have asked their governments for authorization to take all necessary measures to maintain order in Constantinople it was an- nounced here this afternoon. The sommissioners will declare martial law if necessary. The French dreadnaught Jeun.Eur! can be donated to be used as a float in the parade on Baturday by some school or organization, advise Albert Jourdan ‘at the Connecticut Light and Power company or George W. Dyson of such before tomorrow night. The committee is short of trucks and would appreciate any as- sistance on the part of New Britain people. Harry C. Jackson, chairman of the committee on music for the Armistice Day celebration reported at a meeting of the general committee held last night with George W, Dyson, chair- man that nine bands, four union, three non-union, the T. A, B. and the Amer- ican Drum Corps have been secured to play in the parade on Saturday. It hae been agreed that the non- union bands will be allowed to partici- ame in Hartford was one which came up for discussion, It had been originally planned to have the Philharmonic band play in the parade but the manager of the football team as well as James C. Moody, vice-principal at the High school asked that the services of the band be given to them inasmuch as the players knew the High school songdé and have played at the Hart- ford-New Britain games for years .past. Mr, Jackson opposed any change as did Captain Alfred H, Griswold, who believed that the Armistice Day celebration came before a football game. ‘James Rogers suggested that the High school furnish a band equal to that of the Philharmonic and this Captain Griswold accepted, (Continued on Page Fifteen MAY ASK SHOWDOWN INMURDER MYSTERY Stevens Family Considers Leaving | Town to Force Aut hon ies' Hand MoTT PROMISES 10 ACT = Probably Will go to Grand Jury in Few Days—Social and Political Con- spiracy to Thwart lnvest!gltlon Now Rumored, Being lmutlglteé.

Heavy New Haven, Nov. 7.—Between the raindrops the electorate went to the polls in Connecticut in large numbers this forenoon. When the rain fell the voting fell off and the workers in the republican and democratic parties felt gloomy at the prospect of a heavy vote. Business began picking up to- ward noon, reports from all directions ed galleries by noon today. Spangler, Pa, Nov. 7 (By Asso- ciated Press)—The gas-choked chan- nels of the Reilly mine were giving up their dead today, said an. early morning dispatch filed here. Forty victims of the explosion were brought to the surface early today as rescue workers searched through the treacherous water-soaked pas- sages for the remaining dead, 20 to 26, believed to have perished when the blast entombed more than 90 men soon after they reported for work yesterday morning. Ofticials of the Reilly Coal Co., owners of the mine, were not cer- tain of the number of workers in the pit when the disaster occurred. They expréssed the belief that the death tell would, be between 50 and 60. 33 Are Rescued. Thirty-three men rescued last night are in a hospital here and the physi. clans sald they would recover. The grim task of removing dead started about 2 o'clock this morning after the widows and chil< dren of the missing men had been induced to return home. They stood the Jin the misty rain all through yester- day. §ix state troopers patrolled the area about the mine mouth and kept the hundreds -of ourious. persons away. Hall Véed as Morgue. Miners’ hall, a littie structure here, was the temporary morgue under- taukers here {n Barnesboro and in Johnstown were ordéred to prepare for the dead men. FEarly today some undertakers were washing and em- balming the mire-soakéd bodies in Every delivery truck and wagon in Spangler was pressed fnto service as a morgue wagon. Red Cross and Salvation workers from Pittsburgh, and Johnstown were on hand tributing coffec and sandwiches the rescue squads as they cameé to the surface with their burden of death or to replenish their oxygen tanks for a new exploration of the muddy nits. ‘When rescue workers entered the mine soon after noon yesterday they encountered bodies in the main way only 100 feet from fresh air. They halted only long enough to make sure there was no spark of life and Army Altoona dis- to ) then hurried on into the gassy cham- bers to search for possible survivors. Dying Left Note. Their hopes were high when they came upon a rudely constructed brat- tice on which was scrawled: “There are 29 miners behind this." But the rescuers pushefl on deeper into the mine for men who had not fortified themselves. The gas was strong at this point and they feared that should they break down the barrier the weakened condition of the| men could not stand the inrush of the deadly fumes. Other rescuers later found more than a score of bodies huddled to- gether. It is believed that this group was the one behind the brattice. | Five times an explosion has oc- curred in this mine, but the other four did not register a fatality. Damage to the mine was not great, officials announced. They would not issue a statement as to the cause of the explosion but they dld say that the mine had been examined and re- ported free of gas just a short time before the explosion. An examination showed that the force of the exploslon lifted the fan building from its foundations. It is located 200 feet from the tipple. This structure must be airtight and for nearly an hour it was not work- ing effectively. Mud was plastered about the cracks hastily and its operations continued, Movable bulkheads were being con- structed today. These were at- tached to the front of mine cars and the rescuers were going deeper into the mine. $100, 000 IIRI' Sandwich, Mass, Nov. LOS.‘(. 7.~The sum- M.

Fair indicated and predictions were that the total by 6 p. m. would probably be close to what would be regarded as a normal figure. ‘Women Well Pleased This election owing to bad ‘weather was surely a day when the automobile came into its own. Loyalty to party made machine owners volunteer their services as never before and fleets of machines in the cities and the country districts began to land the voters, men and women, at the polling places. This was proven here at the noon hour when in many wards the party work- ers reported that the vote cast was above expectations and in good pro- portion to the vote of 1920. The wom- en voters seemed to be well pleased with the attention paid to them, leav- household duties quickly to be fi?filsked to the polls to cast their vote and then carried back again in time to prevent their dinner from burning in the oven or boiling over on the stove. Autos Get Vote Out In many of the towns close by New Haven, it was reported that automo- biles were bringing out a full vote in Milford especially a large percentage of the women voters being got out in this way. Out in the state at large it was said at noon that the rain might not inter- fere with the size of the vote to any extent judging by the figures. A very bad afternooon might have effect, Splitting dn New Haven As to the way the electorate wae casting ite vote it seemed not easy to get a “line” on it. In" New Haven re- ports were general that there was heavy ‘split ticket” voting in the democratic wards. The republicans claimed that this was of advantdge to them, that Frederick W. Orr for sheriff was getting a part ofthe *‘cut- ting’”’ of She-if T. L. Rellly and tha\ Congressman Tilson was also getting democratic votes. The democrats re- plied that while the factional fight here may have led some democrats to be jndependent on the shrievalty the “split ticket” voting was being done by the republicans. In the heavy re- publican wards the workers claimed, the voting was ‘‘straight.’” Ansonia Turns Out. Ansonia, Nov. 7.—Voters on both republican and democratic parties turned out early today despite in- clement weather and vied with each other in casting a heavy vote. The contest for mayor overshadowed the other rivalries on the city ticket. Tn- dications at noon pointed to a close contest over the choice of representa- tives. Waterbury Is Strong. Waterbury, Nov. 7.—Up 1 o'clock this morning slightly over one-fourth of the 25,487 voters in the city had cast their ballots. Charles A. Templeton of this city, candidate for governor, voted two minutes after the polls opened, casting the first vote in his district. Mrs. Templeton cast the second ballot in the district. In South Norwalk. South Norwalk, Nov 7.—Less than 2,600 votes had been cast in all iive wards of Norwalk up to 12:46 o'clock today, about one-third of the total vote of the city. In the early hours it was estimated that the democratic and republican parties were equally represented but at noon a rush of republican votes were noted at all of the polls.

At headquarters on Main street, it was asserted that the question of ma- Jjority is one that will be decided by the manner in which the vote is got- ten out. With a perfectly formed or- ganization, well manned, and with a fleet of motor cars at their disposal, the leaders expressed satisfaction that they were in a position to get out the vote necessary to register at least the normal republican majority, and prob- ably to establish a new record. G, O, P. Has Mofiey Advantage The rainy weather, theoretically democratic weather, they were in- clined to regard, from a more practi- cal viewpoint as republican weather. The democrats with their weaker finances are not in a position to se- cure the many automobiles which are necessary on wet days to guarantee a good percentage of their registered vote, it was reasoned, while the re- publican party is in a ‘finaneial posi- tion to secure all the cars needed, while interested party | men donated cars and driyers for the day in large numbers.- They felt that this would cause an appreciable difference in the proportionate number. of republican womeén to reach the polls over the number of democratic women voters. The third ward, regarded as the re- publican party's greatést stropghold, was the most actlve in the morning vote. At noon 1,004 votes had been cast and when the results of previous elections are considered, it is reason- able to suppose that a very large ma- jority of this number voted the straight republican ticket. Sixth Ward Rolls It Up. In the sixth ward up to noon, 810 votes had beéen cast. Under normal conditions, the vote fn that district is very light until the factories shut down for the noon hour. A corps of about 20 men and women worked without rest from ear- ly morning today at the G. O. P. headquarters. The lists were gone over carefully, checked and re- checked so that not a vote might be missed. The several candidates were on hand and reiterated their statements of yesterday in which they predicted success for the entire republican ticket, state and local. A FEMALE ALE BLUEBEARD Chicago Police Looking Up Woman Believed To Have Killed Several of Her Husbands. Chicago, Nov. 7.—~Investigation of the life of Mrs. Tillie Klimek, who according to the police is belleved to have poisoned at least four husbands, was extended today to include other relatives of the woman., Her present husband, Joseph Klimek, is seriously ill from poison.
