HARD LUCK OF AMERICAN SOLDIERS STRANDED ABROAD Hoboken, N. J., Nov. 28.—Hard-luck stories aplenty wero brought homs by the first contingent of former American soldiers stranded abroad after the war, Who returned late today on the President Adams, many of them with their wives and children. They numbered 211 and about 1,000 more remain in France to be brought home at the expense of the American government. The ex-fighters, many of whem dis- played decorations awarded for valor on the field of battle. complained bitterly of their treatment stating that in Cher- bours they had been lodged with their families in immigrant barracks. All the men declared they had receiv- ed honorable discharges. Since the war, they said, they had heen working for the United States department of agriculture and the Graves registration service. The contingent, comprising chiefly members’ of the old 69th New ork reg- iment and the 9th regulars, was assembl- ed in Paris by Miss Marjorie Hanson, of the American Aid soclety. They made the trip under charge of F. E. Dyer of Boston and O. M. Thomas, of Chicago. business men and former soldiers. Rep- resentatives of the Red Cross and: other welfare organizations swarmed thepier to_greet them. Not so hearty a spirit of welcome was evidenced, however at a eaaference here this afternoon between Harry L. Barck, overscer of the poor in this city, ‘and Bird S. Coler, commissioner of public welare in New York city. Commissioner Coler was opposed to| admitting the repartriated Americans to New York state, for fear that the desti- ute band would become a burden on so- ciety. Epzzk and Mayor Griffin insisted that whi _hey could land in Hoboken, they could ot remain here lest they become public charges. Opposition to the return of the soldler:!becamc a party to an agreement apparently did not crystallize, however, for tonight ‘all had left the ship. Several ex-soldiers who were married abroad after orders were issued to the army of occupation not to take German wives will have to sepd their familles to Fllis Island to pass through the hands of immigration officials before they are admitted to this country. A few of the former soldiers were en- tirely without funds. Some asserted that had_not the French displayed an antag- onism toward them, they could have found employment at their trades and saved money. NEW. YORK'ALDERMEN VOTE, TO EXCLUDE KU KLUX KLAN New York, - Nov. 28—The .bpard of aldermen_today adopted a resslution ap- proving the stand taken by Mayor Hy- lan fn ordering Police Commissioner En- right, to drive the Ku Kius Klan from the city. . The resolution described the Klan as “a menace which has scourged the south and west of this country, has at last reached the’ city of New York and is cndeavoring to/work havoc and disaste in_our midst." 3 Other terms applied to the Klan in the resolution were: “An outlaw organ- ization,” and “a nest of scavengers and profiteers.”. The esolution was introduced joint- Iy by Aldermen Murray W. Stand, Mar- tin J. Healy, John B. Henrich and George W. Harris and said that the board ‘pledges itself to tie most ardent sup- port of a vigorous enforcement. of the law agd the elimination of elements that threaten to disrupt the institutions and defile the traditions of our nation.” Police Commissioner Enright today in- vited local members of the Ku Klux Klan to remove their masks. Prescrving silencpwas to what steps the department had ltaken to drive the Klan from the city, as ordered by Mayor Hylan, Mr. Enright merely “If the’ members of the Ku Klux Klan will_give their names and show their faces, it will help the public and police considerably.” - VITAGRAPH COMPANY SUES FAMOUS PLAYERS-LASKY New York, Nov. 28.—The Vitagraph company of America today began sult for $6,000,000 in the United States district court against the Famous Players-Lasky corporation and & dozen individuals, charging a conspiracy to control the mo- tion picture_industry of the nation.

P.)—The six former cabinet and _army officals convicted. of high treason in connection with the Greek military disaster in Asia Minor were cxecuted today by shooting. Demetrios Gounaris, who hedds the list of former cabinet ministers executed in Athens today, was prime minister under King Constantine when that mori- arch early in the European war was striving to keep Greece from joining the entente ailies.

Washington, Nov. ' 28.— Republican members of the senate, after a four-hour filibuster. waged by, the democrats, and after threats from the democratic side of continued obstruction, voted in caveus to- night to continue the fight in beha!f of the Dyer anti-lynching biil A further decision was reached by the Tepublican senators to hold the senate in session on Thanksgiving day—a most un- usual occurrence—if such - action was found necessary to break democratic op- position. The vote on continuing the fight for the Dyer bill, which has been passed by the house, was understood to bhave been 24 to 1. Tno republican caucus brought to a close a rather turbulent day at the sen- ate wing of the capito}, for democratic senators, acting in accord with a stand taken several days ago in party caucus, showed immediately upon the convening of the senate that they proposed to block the anti-lynching bl in every possible way. Led from the floor by Senator Harri- son, Mississippi, the democrats what they frankly conceded to be a fili- buster the minute the chaplain concluded the morning prayer. The tactics included objections to the usbal course dis- pensing with the reading of the journal, numerous quorum calfs and presentation | of amendments to yesterday's journal on which invariably aye and nay votes were demanded. Senate attaches characterized it as “the most scientifically conducted filibuster” | carrled on in the senate in vears, and as | Proof of this it was citéd that only after signs of yielding had been seen on the republican side did the democrats permit yesterday's journal to be approved. This Pprocess usually consumes about thirty seconds, but today it required four hours, and might have taken longer, for when the scnate adjourned Senator Harrison had on his’desk a dozen or so amend- ments to the journal which he had been | prepared to offer. Not alone did the democrats show by their tactiés that they were unalterably opposed consideration of the Dyer bill but through their leader, Senator Under- wood, Alabama, said so plamly. Senator Underwood, taking the flocr late in the afternoon, told the majority leaders that the democrats had determined to permit the transaction of no business; not even fhe confifmation of nominations, until the republicans. agreed. to abandon the anti- Iynching measure, which he characterized as “ a force bill pure and simple.” ‘We are not disguising what is being you that we are endeavoring to prevent consideration of the Dyer biil. If this bill becomes a law" ft wil¥ threaten the’very fabric of our governmenty But it will become a law. and you gentiemen on the republican side might just as well admit it now and give up the fight.” ‘ Faced with this threat, and further notified of the determination of the demo- crats, who carried their obstructionist | King Constantine’s return to the throne | tactics ‘into ai’ executive session of the and that, although Greece was breaking away from her alliances, they did their utmost to consolidate onstantine’s throne in order to enjoy office under him. “By tecroristic methods,” the statement adds, “they stified a'l public opinion con- trary to them, arranged with General Hadjanestis a pretended offensive against Constantinople, and thereby ~brought about the enemy’s offensive and the col- lapse of the Greek front in Asia-Minor, thus deliberately. deliVering a large part of the army into the enemy’s hands. “They therefore were convicted. in ac- cordance with several articles of the mili- tary and_penal codes, of comspiring to commit high treason.” GEN.

Somerville, N. J.. Nov. 28.—(By The A. P.)—"For reasons which seem to them sufficient and controlling. the grand jury took mo action in the Hall-Mills murder case and laid the matter over. This does not mean necessarily that the matter cannot be taken up again by this or & subsequent grand jury.” With these words Foreman Gibb of the Somerset county grand jury late to- day made known the fact that no in- dictment had been eturned in one of the most mystifying murder dramas that has faced the country in many years. For five days Special Deputy Attorney Mott had been presenting evi- dence to bolster up his théory as to who killed Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall and his choir singer, Mrs. Eleanor R. Mills on Phillips farm the night of Sep- tember 14. Today—a day replete with drama—the prosecutor presented his star {witnesses and then settled back to await the jury's decision. Outside the jury room someone else was awaiting the decision. It was Mrs. Frances Noel Hall, the rector's widow, who had rushed to the court house this morning in the hope of appearing before the grand jury and who had not been granted access. She received the decision as she has received all other developments in the case—stoically. with scarcely a trace of emotion. A slight biting of the lips, a little tug at her handkerchief, that was all that showed the stress under which |she must have been laboring. She received her first word of jury's decision from a reporter, not a member of that body. Comin= out of the jury room, he handed a piece of pa- per to her lawver, Timothy N. Pleiffer, of New York who throughout the day had been seated in the foyer of the courthouse with Mrs. Hall and her con- {fidant, Miss Sallie Peters. He at once communicated the message to his client Then, while Foreman Gibb was is- suing his formal statement, Mrs. Hall rose, assisted by lawyer and friend, she passed from the foyer in which all day she had subjected herself to the stress of the stares of the curious and made her way to her car. The trio set out at once for the Hall home in New Brunswick. Mr. Mott, appointed to direct the in- vestigation because of criticism.of the manner in which it had been handled in the early stages, pinned his hopes to the story told him by Mrs. Jane Gibson, the quaint character who had appeared in the mystery drama under the caption The woman swineherd—whose story was that she had stumbled across the General the cornfield, was the next to the last wit- ness calied today. She was ushered in- her party. The women exchanged just one glance, 2 flashing glance. Then the door closed behind the wo- man who claimed to have recognized members of the death group beneath the old crab-apple trec on Phillips farm.
