The aftern stasion proved quite an informal affair, and was devoted chiefly to addresses in which a successful outcome of the con- ference was predicted. That of M.

Nov. 31 (By the -A. P:).—Haly has watched with intense interest the de- velopments at Lausanne, particularly the 'part ‘played by Mussolini. The meeting of the fascisti leader with old and trained dipiomats in the digcussion of one of the mot momentous problems concerning Eu- rope is considered tq have put the youth- ful premier’s program of foreign policy and the relations of Italy to the entente to the acid test. The Glornale D'Italia says that Mus- sofini_ went into the first council with-as much’ confidence as heretofore gzme only through a lengthy diplomatic experience. The premier adanted himse!f wonderfully to the circumstances, the paper adds, and created as great an impression by the contrast of his methods in the first meet- ing with Poincare and Corzon as he did when he first faced the Italian chamber.

P.)—Thirty witnesses had told - tivelr stores when the grand jury investigating the murder of Rev. Edward Wheelor Hall and Mrs. Eleanor Mills finished its second session tonight. The prosecutor declared that at least twenty-five more would be called, including the most important. The grand jury has learned tha the minister and the choir singer weré mur- de;ed; that the rector was shot once through the head; that the woman was shot three times; that the shote were fired by an expert marksman; that the choir singer went by trolley and afoot to a trysting place with the minister. 1t learned that the prosecutor beiieved Mr. Hall and Mrs. Mills were killod. under the lonely crab-apple trec « on Phillips farm where their bodies were found. George Sipel, the big farmer, who lart night popped-into the case after his wifo. announced he was innocent ¢f any con- cern in it, today was ordered before the jury. ‘Tomorrow, in'all probébility, the have an opportuinty to Sipel is a really vitall decide whether factor. st Sipel avoided detectives and reporters alike today. He went ont into the coun- try in his machine before daylight, and was still there when the sun set, _ . The jury heard witnesses today, none of whom had any really imjortant story to give. Mrs. Henry Blust and Mrs. Leo Harkins told the jury thit.on the night of the murdets they saw Mrs. Mills; fol. lowed by Mr. Hali, walking slowly to- wards Phillips farm. “Mrs. Harkins' story has been that Mr. Hall appeared troubled and. aithough he knew hee,-did not ap- pear to recognize her. Drs. Anderson and Armstrong, expert chemists from a local laboratory, were called.” They had exam- ined the dirt which was near the bodies and it was on their testimony that Prose- cutor Mott relied to prove the murders were committed - where the bodies were found. The prosecution €Xpressed satistaction with the progressdmade. today, but pre- dicted the sessions: for this week would end tomorrow night, and that the biggest part of its work would then be over. James Mills, widower of the siain choir singer, today was served in New Bruns- | wick with a grand jury subvoena.

He said America had come to the last point where she was granted time to think. No sacrifice was demanded of her except the | will to assert herself, as the people she had vanquished were unable to do any- thing just at the present moment. M.
