Blair, internal revenue commissioner and Roy Haynes, federal prohibition enforcer, both of whom have in recent monthts been storm centers over the manner in which the Volstead law has been enforced.

Day's announce ment came within 24 hours of the su spension of six of hi3 aides, pending investigation of their conduct.

LABOR HEADS BLAME PROPAGANDA OF OPEN SHOP FOR TROUBLE (By United Press) CANTON, Ohio, Oct. 9. Labor dis turbances in Ohio during the last year were laid at the door of open shop propaganda here today. Labor leaders at the opening of the thirty-ninth annual convention of the Ohio State Federation of Labor declared the challenge of the open shop has been met. "Open shop propaganda resulted in more labor disturbances in Ohio and the nation during the last year than at any other time in the history of the trades union movement," President John "Moore asserted. Moore declared tactics of the open shop campaigners have solidified the ranks of union labor. Try To Convince People "Now open shop advocates are atempting to convince people that trades unions are illegal and unAmerican and have already been sue cessful in convincing one federal judge that such is the case," Moore said. A resolution condemning Judge Wilkerson for granting the rail injunction is to be presented to the convention. Another resolution to come before the convention approved the proposed beer and light wine amendment to the state constitution. Other legislation to be urged by the convention includes changes in the workmen's compensation award more adequate laws to safeguard work ers in certain trades and widening the occupational disease law so that com pensation will be paid for certain dis eases not covered in the change ob tained two years ago. Will Warn Delegates President Moore said he would warn delegates against all liability insurance companies. He said they are out to break down workmen's compensation laws so that private companies may write the insurance. Secretary Tom Donnelly reported the federation is now made up of 1,200 unions representing about 200,000 persons.. As the delegates gathered today there was a strong sentiment in favor of designating Columbus as the 1923 convention city. BURY SEVEN KILLED AT RAILROAD GROSSING (P.y United Press) CHICAGO, Oct. 9.

Any high school student, standing on his constitutional rights, is reminded that tho next time R?p. McYon Googley, of the 753rd district of Delaware, for exam ple, is introduced by the teacher at

the Friday night speaking service for rigid enforcement of the laws upwhich precedes the refreshments as on the statute books of the nation and

Congressman McVon Googley, he may rise and declare there is no such dig nity. Digging through the musty records, William Tyler Page, clerk of the house of representatives, has found and printed in a little handbook that there is no official sanction for the title. The constitution, says Mr. Page, sanctions the use of the words "representative" and "members" as designating those persons composing the house. But, like other words which have crept into use since Noah Webster's day, congressman takes its place, and the average representative, over the telephone or to your face if you don't know him will say is Congressman So and So. Some cabinet officers at house committee hearings who don't happen to know the representatives by name meet the occasion by saying "congressman." The easier method around the house these days, if a man wants to keep within the constitution, is to address a member as "judge." It hits the right spot, and he smiles affably liie the fabled colonel of Kentucky.

Booths will remain open until 9 o'clock Monday evening. After that time the registration blanks will be turned in to the county auditor, and citizens who have neglected U register will be without the right to vote in the November election.

Hayes, 19 Year Old Youth, Is Accused Of Double Slaying NEW BRUNSWICK. N. J., Oct. 9. Clifford Hayes, 19 year old admirer of Pearl Bahmer, who found the bodies of the Rev. Edward Wheeler

Hall andiMrs. Eleanor Reinhard Mills, choir singer, was arrested today and formally charged with first degree murder for the slaying. Raymond Schneider, who was with the Bahmer girl, when the bodies were found, was held as a material witness. Prosecutors Beekman and Strieker, of Middlesex and Somerset counties, say Schneider signed a 300 word statement accusing Hayes of the crime. According to Schneider's statement. the double slaying was the result of mistaken identity. He had gone out with Hayes on the night of the murders, he said, trailing a man who accompanied the Bahmer girl. Seeing a couple beneath a crabapple tree, he said, Hayes opened fire. Formal announcement of the arrest was made at 11:45 o'clock by Prosecutor Strieker. Discover Bodies Schneider previously had told the authorities that he and Pearl Bahmer, a 15 year old member of the Sunday school at Dr. Hall's church, were near the Phillips house the evening of the murders. They returned to the scene the next morning when they dis covered the bodies of the slain pair, and notified the authorities. Both denied seeing a pistol or other weapon near the bodies. After leaving Pearl early that evening Schneider told investigators he met Hayes and Leonard Kaufman and the three spent some time in the vicinity of the Phillips property. Search Home While authorities were examining Hayes at the court house here, detec tives visited his home and searched it thoroughly. No announcement was made as to what was found or even what the detectives were seeking. Kauffman was said to have told officials that Hayes possessed a pistol similar to the one with which the double slaying was committed. Hayes is 19 years old and recently was honorably discharged from the navy. Schneider, who is somewhat older, is an electrician. E. J. Hayes, father of Clifford, ap peared at the court house this morning and demanded to see his son and to know why he was detained. The offi cials refused to allow him to see him, and declined to state why he was being questioned. The city was stirred when it was reported that arrests had been made, but officials connected with the case refused to confirm or deny the report GIVE MASSACHUSETTS PERMISSION TO TEST U. S.

Va,. Oct 9. Trial of 200 men charged with murder and inciting a riot at Cliftonville July 17 when Sheriff H. H. Duvall and seven union miners were slain began in Brooke county circuit court today.

ALLIES RENEW

PARLEY WITH TURIUNVOY Harington, British Com mander, is Assured There Will Be No Further Advance in Neutral Zone. INVASION DISQUIETING ("By Associated Press) MUDANIA, Oct 9. The allied generals here for attendance on the armistice conference spent this morning conferring with the Greek delegates. The conference with Ismet Pasha, the Turkish Nationalist representative was scheduled to be resumed at 3 o'clock this afternoon. The delegates met informally last night, postponing formal discussion until this afternoon. Gen. Harington, the British commander, in chief, received in writing an assurance from Ismet Pasha that (here would be no further advance by the Nationalists in the neutral zone. PARIS, Oct. 9. Strong hopes were entertained in French circles t,oday that the Mudania conference would meet a complete agreement and a protocol for the armistice to be signed before the day was over. The hitch in yesterday's proceedings at Mudania is attributed here to the probability that Gen. Harington had then only received a part of the new instructions drafted under the argeement reached Saturday by Lord Curzon, British for eign secretary, and Premier Poincare. (By Associated Press) LONDON, Oct 9 The British cabinet met today to consider the detailed report of Marquis Curzon, foreign secretary, on his conference in Paris with Premier Poincare at which the position of the allies on the Turkish question was again consolidated. The Mudania conference is being resumed under the new instructions framed at the Paris meeting, which were approved with slight changes by th? cabinet Saturday night and forwarded to Brigadier General Harington. The delegates were instructed to i nsist upon fixation of the number of Turkish gendarmes to be allowed in Thrace, withdrawal of all Turkish troops from the neutral zones, and delay in the occupation of Thrace by the Turkish army until after the signing of a peace treaty. It was understood the allied generals would meet Ismet Pasha last night upon their return from Constantinople to Mudania, which, according to latest dispatches, they reached at 10 p. m. The result of the meeting, if one wa-i held, had not been received here early this morning. With the allies in agreement, however, everything seemed to rest with Ismet Pasha. Situation Disquieting Meanwhile the situation created bv the Turkish invasion of the Ismid neutral zone continues disquieting, only part of the invaders having returned across the line according to the latest advices. Reports from two sources say an entire division entere i the neutral zone. General Harington is reported to have warned Ismet Pasha that unless the Kemalists withdraw he may be obliged to make a military demonstration on the Turkish flanks. The Kemalists agent is said to have promised that the advance shall cease, and thai the incident will not be repeated. As a measure of protection for Constantinople, General Harington order ed suspension of ferry service across the Bosphorus and the Sea of Marmora. There are said to be 12,500 Christians now in the Ismid zone outside the British lines, while many thousands more are within the lines, having been removed to a camp at Moda, directly across from Constantinople Army Stand Uncertain. Although the Greek government has accepted the inevitable, acquiesing in the evacuation of eastern Thrace, reports from Athens and Thrace indicate uncertainty regarding the attitude of a section of the army. It is said there may be a refusal by a considerable part of the Greek forces to obey the evacuation order, thus involving dangerous complications. The Greek commanders who were sent to Thrace before the government accepted the allies demand are reported to be encouraging the soldiers to resist. The Turkish sultan, Mohammed VI, is still on the throne, despite the report of his abdication received by tha Russian trade delegation here Satur day. Efforts are now under way to bring about a reconciliation between Mohammed VI and the victorious Na tionalists, and an emissary is being sent from Constantinople to inform the Angora government that the Sul tan is prepared to recognize the legitimacy of the National assembly. 4 DIE IN ACCIDENTS, PROBE IS CONDUCTED (By United Press) ' CLEVELAND, Oct. 9.
