W ON ALBANI Boorge Fred Willams Resigns as U. S. Minister : to Greece and Montenegro : EXTRAORDINARY DIPLOMATIC CAREER ENDED President Asked For His Resignation Last Friday—Document Was Already On the Way—Williams Says He Cannot Conscientiqusly Keep Silent With Knowledge of What Is Being Done in the New Kingdom. Washington, July 6.—Formal an- mouncement of the resignation of George Fred Willlams as minister to Greece and Montenegro was wmade late today at the state department. Secretary Bryan issued this state- ment without comment: “Mr. Williams requests Secret Brran to tender to the president h! resignation as minister to Greece ani Montenegro. He says the reism for his resignation is he ean it Com- ment upon the sitation in Albania xs he would like the restraint im- posed by hisgdiplomatic position, «nd that he does not feel that he can con- scientiously keep silent with the knowledge which he has of what is being done. “FHe says that he considers the suc- cess of the president more imoortant to the world than all the eifor:s uf bther men, and does not Wish to em- barrass him and wishes to thank lhim for the consideration which has bacn shown him.” Asked for by Cable. President Wilson is expected to ac- cept the resignation tomorrow and close the brief and extraordinary ca- reer of Mr. Willlams as a diplomat. Arcused over press dispatches con- tinually quoting the minister as bit- terly criticising conditions in the new kingdom of Albania and arraigning the responsible European powers the pres- ident cavsed his resignation to be ask- ed for by cable last Friday night It is understood, however, that Mr. Wil- liams, foreseeing the inevitable already had his resignation on the. way to Washinston. Case Without Precedent. This case is said to be without pre- cedent in the history of the state de- partment. Other ministers have got- ten into trouble through too free crit- jeisms of the conditions existing in the countries to which they were ac- credited, but it is not recalled that an American diplomatic representative » ever before has gone outside of his post to discuss affairs of anothef coun- Parallels the Monroe Doctrine. In fthe present instance the com- ment was regarded by the'state de- partment as peculiarly untimely and 1l advised because of the extreme jealousy with which the European powers have guarded the tangled Bal- kan problem from the injection of new elements, They consider the ques- tion as ome to be dealt with by the European powers alone, their position being precisely that af the United States government in regard to the Monroe Doctrine. It was recalled tonight that even in the most desperate phase of the late Balkan war, when the allies were closing in on Constantinople and many of the diplomatic representatives in that capital were calling upon their governments for help, the six powers, parties to the Berlin conference, in- terposed an effective objection to the appearance of American warships in the Dardanelles. Made Personal Investigation in Albania It is now known that early in his mission Mr. Willlams sought to have his powers extended to include Al- bania. The state department, however, with its usual caution, when dealing with questions involving the Balkans, hesitated to lead the way in estab- lishing a diplomatic circle at: Durazzo in view of the slight American inter- ests there. -It did, however, consent to Mr. Williams' earnest request to be alloweq to make a personal investiga- tion of the Albanian situation and there followed the _statements con- tained in his contributions to the Athens newspapers which have led to his resignation, Mr. Willlams, who was a member of congress years ago, is a lawyer and was appointed to the diplomatic ser- vice from Massachusetts. He is a close friend of Secretary Bryan. R e s MRS. ANGLE APPEALS TO _ _ . BE KEPT AT STAMFORD. Does Not Want to Go te County Jail at Bridgeport.

Y., July 6.—The head of a national detsctive agency arrived here tonight and began an_investiga- tion into_the murder of Mrs. Louise Bailey, who was mysterfously shot and killed 'in the office of Dr. Edwin Car- man last Tuesday night. ~This detec- tive is in _the employ. of the Nassau county authorities, and ten men from his office are working on the case. The inquest into the murder of Mre. Bailey_was abruptly adjourned today urtil Wednesday. This dction was taken in order to give the authorities a chance to investigate several clues and to look into the story told last night by Dr, Carman, who informed the police that a bicyclist who had Zollowed his automobile from Rockville Center near here had fired three shots at him while he was driving along a lonely stretch of road. It was learned later from Sheriff Pettit that after it had been decided to adjourn the inguest - fwo withesses, ‘whose identity the sheriff refused to disclose, had been brought into the case and went under examination last- ing two hours behind locked doors.-The sheriff refused to discuss his conversa- tion with those witnesses further than to say that their statements were of the highest importance. Shots Were Heard. Four persons living near the spot where Dr. Carman said the attempt was made upon his life tald investi- gators this afternoon they had heard shots. Detectives were unable, how- ever, to find anyone who had heard the shots which J. W. Haff, Jr., a resident of Lynnbrook, a mneighboring village, said was fired at him early this morn- ing while he was driving his automo- bile outside of Freeport. Haff, who resembles Dr. Carman in figure and face, owns an automobile similar to one owned by the physician. Contradicted Mrs. Carman. The inquest was adjourned after soveral witnesses had been heard. Two of these witnesses, Mids Hazel Combs, a patient of Dr Carman, and Miss Anna Kahn, a friend who accompanied her to the office of the physician less than an hour before Mrs. Balley was murdered, flatly contradicted Mra. Carman’s statement that she was not walking around the ground floor of her home that night and was not in her husband's office and had not admitted any patients who called. Both these women swore they had seen Mrs. Car- man enter her husband's office to an- swer the telephone, and they corrob- orated the testimony of George Golder, the witness who testified on Friday that Mrs. Carman had admitted him to the house. The corroboration, combined with the testimony given by a negro maid in the Carman home, constituted what was declared by District Attorney Smith to be the most important infor- m#tion elicited during the day’s pro- ceedings. Mrs. Carman did not leave her home today. She has not been away from there since she returned from testify~ ing at the inquest Friday. PROSPECTS DUBIOUS FOR YACHT RACES TODAY.

London, July 6.—The house of lords today passed by 273 to 10, the sec- ond reafling of the bill to amend the Irish Home Rule bill. That the house of jords would pass the Dbill in order to amend it in com- mittee was a foregone conclusion, but there was surprise that only ten ‘dle bards’ uld be found to vote for Lord Willioughby de Broke's motion for its refection. Marquis of Crew’s Challenge. The Marquis of Crewe, In winding up the debate for the ' government, challenged the opposition to guarantes that thers would be no clvil war in Ireland, even if the bill was amended totally excluding Ulster. Concerning the possibility of a solution by confer- ence, if dropping the amending bill and breaking the government's policy was to be a preliminary, it would be impossible for the government to ac- cept it, but, short of entalling such sacrifide, the government was mo anxious to facilitate a conference, said. Yor himself, he did not hesitate to say that it John Redmond, the Irish Natlonalist leader, Sir Edward Car- son, the Ulster Unionist leader, Will- fam O'Brien and two or thres other Irish-men could get together it would be a better augury for some perman- ent arrangement than any other kind of conference. Another division was taken, motice of several amendments was handed in providing for the exclusion from hemé rule of the whole of Ulster. Will Exclude Ulster Absolutely. These amendments, if carried, will make the exclusion of the whole prov- ince of Ulster absolute, without any referendum or election, and the ex- cluded province will be placea under the jurisdiction of the new secretary of state in the imperial parliament where administrative orders would re- quire the sanction of the British pad- liament.
