The speak- er was Willis J. Abbot, editor of the Christian Science Monitor.

It might be thought that the question of re-establishing diplomatic relations with Turkey was one in which only an insigni- ficant fraction of our pgpple take an interest, Probably it is true that of our 110,000,000 only a few are thus interested, but those few are of the sort that make and express public sentiment. Opinion Often Headed Does this opinion influence the action of the government? Is it po- tential In shaping the foreign poli- ¢y of the government? Sometimes we find the very authorities that are most p tive in deprecating the interference of public opinich with foreign affairs, using that opifion as a convenient excuse for action taken by the administration. The secretary of the treasury, and two secretaries of state have repeatedly declared that public opinion would no support any action looking \9\\'—- | ard the cancellation of the foreign | war debts. Yet there has been very considerable body of educated | public opinion urging precisely that | course. It is not incredible to for- the time when it will become strong that some future admin- istration In deference to public opin- jon will act in accordance with it. But even should that come to pass will afford no more conclusive nce of the power of public opinion #han does the present ,_m— uation, with the administration pointing to a lack of any demand for cancellation as a reason for pro- g with its policy of speedy s¢ it ceedi collection.” Influence of Press ng to the influence of the : tor as an exponent and direc & b Mr. Re P tho opinion of the public, hot said.

HEARING CONTINUED UNTIL NEXT MONDAY Somerville, N. J., Aug. 14 (P— Two male relatives of Mrs. Edward Wheeler Hall have been pointed out n open court by a witness of four | vears ago as the men she saw with the widow at the slaying of the Rev. Hall and Mrs. Eleano: Mills. Brother and Cousin Henry Carpenter, Mrs. Hall's wealthy cousin, a Wall street brok- er, and Willie Stevens, her mentally deficient brother, were the men in- dicated by Mrs. Jane Gibson, who | said Carpenter had a shining object in his hand. Another witness produced pre- lously gathered evidence which he had been reported missing, the slain woman's daughter told of an alleged attempt to poison her mother prior to the murder, and a “mystery wit- nes said to have been at the time of the murder within 75 feet of the crab appld tree where the bodies were found, entered the re- opened investigation.

Hall, charged with the murders, is free fn $15,000 bail and William Philips, former night watchman, is free in $2,500 bail. The hearing which is adjourned i""!““ a few minutes of the killlng| until Monday revealed that the state restspits case chiefly on Mrs. Gib- son’s testimony. She related to County Judge Cleary's court, that on the night of September 14, 1922 she was riding her mule in search of corn thieves when she came upon a group of men and women gquar- reling about some letters. A pocket light was flashed upon the face of one of the men, she declared. “Whose face did you see?” asked Special Prosecutor Alexander Simp- son. Points Out Carpender his here man,” replied Mrs. Gibson, pointing to Henry Car- pender. She saw something shiny in his hand, heard a loud report and ran, A woman screamed and another cried, “Oh, Henry! Mrs. Gibson declared she lost a moccasin in her haste, and the moccasin, she identi- fled as hers, found nearby, was in- troduced into evidence. She heard three more shots. After t, without first obtaining [JUrY acquits Gaines, charges based|ghe got over her fright she return- ed, and saw Mrs. Hall kneeling or leaning over and crying. She identi- fied Stevens as a man she had seen with Mrs. Hall earlier, in the glare of an automobile headlight. She said she did not know a mur- der had been committed until she read it in a Sunday newspaper. Daughter Testifies Charlotte Mills, bobbed-haired, 20 year old daughter ° the slain woman, testified that her mother had tea with Mrs. Hall some time before the slaying, and that after- ward she was very sick. She said a large book in the rector's study of t.e Church of St. John the Evange- list was used as a post office for the exchange of passionate letters be- tween the clergyman and the sex- ton's wife. Asked as to the relationship be- tween her mother and the rector she sald: “It was quite proper,” But that he called often. She said that two months before the murder Mrs. Mills had said she might not live long. Missing Papers Tound During the hearing Marcus Beek- man, brother of the late Prosecutor Azirlah Beekman, marched down the aisle of the court room with & bundle of papers under his arm. They were the missin documents of the earlier investigation which the state had been seeking for weks, and they be- lieved had been stoeln. Mr. Simpson accused him of have ing tried to sell them to a news- paper, but Beekman denied this. He | told an incoherent story of having found them a week ago among his dead brother's effects. Mr. Simpson made references here and at other times to friction between the state and county officials. Employed by Newspapjer George Tottex, another familiar figure to those who followed the in- vestigations of 1922, admitted under cross examination that he had been employed by the New York Dally Mirrvor to build the case as present- ed by the state yesterday.
