pressed confidence that today's devel-
opments would bring about a solution
of the mystery.
One or more arrests were pmmised
during the day, officials ,of both Mid-

ing they now know who did the shoob
ing and where it: occtirred. s
The bodies were found Saturday
morning side by side under an apple
tree in rim/orchard across the line in
Somerset county. Some of the nu-
thorities have expressed a belief that
the shooting. however. occurred in
Midd'lesex county. and that the bodies,
were removed to the tree.
Prosecutor Beekmun of Somerset
county said he believed “everything
would be cleared up today."
Among yesterday's developments.
regarded by the investigators as high-
ly important. was the disclosure that
while the face of Mrs. Mills bore
marks of powder burns. no such
marks were found on the body of Mr.
Hall. This was thought to indicate
that the rector was slain as he 11t-
tempted to escape. and that the. person
who shot the couple. was close. at hand
when the. single shot which killed Mrs.
Mills was fired. Four bullet wounds
were found in Mr. Hall's body.
Considerable strength was" added to
the theory that another woman was a.
party to the tragedy when it was
learned that Mm. Mllls' face and arms
bore unmistakable signs of deep nail
scratches. W _q___

caution that was held here last week
was solved today when it became
known how. Col. Isaac M. Ullman hap-
pened to present in the convention
for the nomination for lieutenant-gov-
ernor, the name of Professor Hiram
Binghsm of this city
It. has been learned that Chairman
J Henry Roz-aback of the Republican
state central committee telephoned to
Col. Ullman as head of the New Ha-
ven delegation, on Monday morning
last, the day preceding the opening of
the convention. Chairman Roraback
was returning from a week-end stay
at a shore resort and stopped into
the office of Lawyer J. Frederick
Baker, clerk of the House of Rents-
sentatlves at New Haven. Baker af-
ter a. previous conversation with
Chairman Bareback had consulted
Professor Bingham a close friend of
his. and received assurance that the
professor would accept the nomina-
tion for lieutenant-governor it tender~
ed by the convention. -
It. was from Baker’s oiflce that
Chairman Roraback telephoned to 00!.
Ullman, asking him if the New Haven
delegation would support Col; Bing-
ham. Col. Uiiman promptly expressed
himself as favorable to the nomina-
tion of Bing-ham. It was considered
desirable that Col. Bingham have the
support. of the delegation from his
own city. Col. Uuilmau agreed to
nominate Bingham in the convention.

The. week of September-1744 will

particularly as the same applies to
the destinies of the individual.
However much we may regret. the
necessity for it. it is nevertheless
true that the time is here and now.
when Aall good citizens and true must.
awaken to the fact that Constitutional
Government in America. is being as-

as never before in all our history.
Present day events are demonstrat—

splendid civil government created by
Washington. Jefferson, Hamilton,
Franklin, Madison, John Adams and
their fellow workers and brother
statesmen, are being threatened by
the forces of statesocialism, bolshe-

LONDON. Sept.
Press).—The widely heralded {'new
war in the Near East.” which Prime
Minister Lloyd George‘s political one-
mics charge him with deliberately in-
voklng, has not begun. and so for as
is apparent. to the public. is no nearer
than it was yesterday.
There is. however. no diminution of
the excitement which the govern-
ment's declaration of a policy of force.
awakened on Sunday and the matter
continues to be a. subject or hot dis-
cussion.
The defense put forward by the gov-
ernment's advocates is that. far from
seeking war. it is doing its utmost to
prevent. one and that to this end it is
necessary to impress Mustapha. Kemal
Pasha. with the fact that Great Britain
will not allow him to march on Con—
stantinople. enter Europe, overrun
Thrace and probably set the Balkans
ablaie.
This View does not make the least
impression on the government‘s op-
ponents, whose newspapers today re—
new their bitter attacks upon Satur-
day’s pronouncement of policy and
upon Llovd George as the chief author
of it.
The Labor leaders especially are up
in arms against “hat. they describe as
the Cabinet’s madness. Their spokes-
men tell the government that the
workers will not have another war.
and are determined to prevent it. The
matter is to be discussed at 9. general
councilrof the Trades Union Congress
tomorrow, when it. is anticipated some
emphatic action will be decided upon.
Between these extreme views is
another which holds the government’s
intention good and its insistence upon
the preservation of the neutral zone
praiseworthy, but believes that. by

blunder. The advocates—of this opln~
ion ,particularly insist upon the
earliest possible summoning of confer~ ;
ence of European powers'to settle the
whole quéstiou of Turkey‘s boundaries.
Meanwhile the activities of Musta-
pha. Kemal Pasha. are shrouded in
mystery. A Constantinople dispatch to
the Times reports that one of his cav-
alry patrols reached. but. did not cross
the boundary of the neutral zone yes-
terday. and there is an unconfirmed
report that he is moving. or preparing

The British preparations for this
contingency. foreshadowed by the gov-
ernment's declarations, continue and
orders are said to have been issued to
certain forces to appear for active
service. their officers and men on leav-
ing being summoned back to quarters.
This. however. does not necessarily
mean that these forces will be sent to

quarters that the fact. that Purlislment

preparations are merely precaution-

in the mother lode country. has paid
the toll demanded of those who delve
in the earth for gold and stands up-
afraid. but not dry-eyed today. .
Fortymeven of her men died in the

It was California's worst mine dis-

gold producers, and it was the hard-
est blow Jackson ever had to suffer.
Three weeks ago last Sunday night:
men deep in the Argonut believed
they smelled smoke. A shift boss
took two men and went to investi-

the 3.6004001: level, chanced death
from gas and were carried through

began the work of fire fightingh'f
which presently merged into one of
