It is understood tnat unsatistac- tory news was received from Constat nople, but the nature of the advices was not for the present disclosed. At the afternoon meeting Gf the cab- inet, the matter of the irreconcilable at- titude of ‘the Kemalists on certain .ma- terial points was under consideratjon. The Greek delegates were to join the Mudania conference today, and it may therefore be supposed ‘that the govern- ment's advices had refereace to their at- in today's session. Greek delegates, it is declarcd, have no power to sign an agresment with- out referring it to Athens, and it is pos- sible that delays on this mccoun: will be_entailed. Towards the close of the aftarncon' cabinet council, the foreigh offics Te- celved a summary of the Angora govern- ment's reply o allied invitation to a peace conference. It should be explained that it was not the tenor of this reply which caused ministerial misglylags, for ihe cabinet did not take the reply under ad- visement, leaving this matier I0r ..wvi- ‘s meeting of the cabinst.

HALL AND MES. MILLS New Brunswick, N. J.- Qct. 6.—Au- thoritles investigating the double mus- der of Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall, and “choir singer.

Two weeks ago_James W_Mills, sexton and husband of the murdered woman, claimed = to said he went there only to tend the furnace, " A trap door to the left of the altar opens into the cellar, but there are no stalrs jeading down and the only en- trance is from the outside, through a door below the winidow of the paster’ Study. Finding of the box. came almost sim- ultaneously with discovery - of letters written by Hall to Mrs. Mills. County Detective David pointed out that thess lotters were the first which showed the minister had replied to love notes from the woman, and proved that he recipro- cated her affection. Besldes the secret “postoffice,” detec- tives today announced they had discov- ered an elopement fund which investl- gators. believe the minister intended to use to finance & trip to the Orlent with Mrs. Mills. The detectives said they had found untrue reports that the pastor'sgprivate safe deposit vault contained only $10- 600, inherited from his mother-in-law, and 2 31,000 insurance policy, naming his mother as beneficiary. Cashed away in the vault, the inves- tigators said, was $30,000 in securities convertible at short notice, Detectives became enthusiastic their progr: more arrests might be expected within 48 hours.

Mrs. Annie Hoag, who lives in a farm house about 500 yards away, broke a persistent silence by telling Detective David that she had heard shots the night, three weeks ago, when the double slaying occurred, o over FINGER PRINTING OF EVERY PERSON IN U. 8.
