SUPPORT FOR LLOYD GEORGE IS IH BALANCE British Conservatives Decide on Policy

(By Associated Press)

LONDON, Oct 16 The conservative

members of the government have been, summoned-to meet today to decldS whether they shall continue their support of the coelitlon under the leadership of Prime Minister Uoyd George.

The meeting which was called by Aus-

ten Chamberlalne, lord privy seal and

government leader in the House o:

Commons, will include not only the conservatives in th cabinet, but also

the under-secretaries belonging to the

party. It is believed that Mr. Chamberlain will be backed by the Earl of Bal-

four, Lord Birkenhead and Sir Robert

Home in his adhesion to the premier,

but the attitude of several of, the others is regarded as more than doubt

ful. . Demand Consultation.

It was stated in well informed quarters that there will be a demand from

the majority that the conservative

rank and file be consulted at a general party meeting before any decision is taken, and that if this is not done, there will be many resignations from

the ministry enough, according to

some predictions to cause it to fall,

In any case it is believed that today's meeting is likely to have a de

cisive effect upon the political future, although the possibility of some ar

rangement which will hold the party

together for a time is not excludec

from consideration.

All the morning papers, through

their editorial columns, repeat their conviction that an election must come noon, but opinions differ as to the

probable date. Some expect a definite

announcement in this respect witmn

a day or so. Soeech Condemned.

Mr. Llovd Georee's Manchester

speech is roundly condemned by the

bulk of the morning papers, among

which he has only two staunch supporters, namely the Daily Chronicle and the Daily Telegraph. The Chronicle says that notwithstanding the bitter and persistent slanders to which the premier has been subject In the last four years, he retains a great personal hold upon the masses. The newspaper points proudly to the ovation he received at Man-"-chentew -.'''' 'ww------'- - The Telegraph comments in a similar vein and prophesies further demonstrations of popular admiration. All the other newspapers have nothing but condemnation for the premier. Bv WEBB MILLER

PARIS. Oct. 16. "Lloyd George's sDeech would have risked compromis

ing peace In the Near East if our work

had not been solid, M. rransun tsouiilin declared today upon his arrival here. The French commissioner to the

Near East went into conference with Poincare and was closeted with the

premier for an hour. The French are bitter over Lloyd George's address at Manchester Saturday, in which the British prime, minister claimed for his government credit for averting war with the Turks. They feel a slur has been cast on their efforts at a time when they were being given credit for the peaceful outcome of the crisis.

IDAHO REPUBLICANS SPLIT WITH BORAH

ON STATE PLATFORM

(By Associated Press)

BOISE, Idaho. Oct. 16. The Idaho Republican state central committee will hold to the Wallace platform

which Senator Borah denounced at

Weiser and Meridian, and proceed un

hesitating with its campaign accord

ing to a resolution passed late last

night.

Thirty-three of the 44 counties were

represented at the conference called

to meet the situation created by Sen

ator Borah's "assumption" that he is fighting for his political existence and his statement that a piece of blank paper would have been better than the

platform adopted by the convention in

August.

Life-long friends of Senator Borah

cried out against his attitude in de

manding that the candidate for gover

nor renounce the platform, and polit

ical enemies bittery opposed his Republicanism. Speakers Insisted that the senator has raised more than the primary-convention issues, that he has attacked Republicanism and the very

principles of partisan government.

Although several speakers eulogized

Senator Borah and took his part, final

action of the resolution was unanim

ous.

FRUIT TREES BLOOM IN WAYNE ORCHARDS:

WARM SPELL CAUSE Autumn blooming of fruit trees

which has, been observed in several

Wayne county orchards is ascribed to

the- deceptively warm autumn, which.

following the first cold snap, "fooled'

the trees into belief that spring had

come ahead of time..

A dozen apple trees, mostly of the

Smith cider variety, in the orchard of

A. H. Pyle, northeast of Richmond,

were covered with blossoms just before the last frost Cherry trees belonging to Harry Patti, on the oppo

site side of the road, and others on the farm of John Puthoff, a neighbor,

also were in bloom.

Condition Factor

Several trees, cherry and plum, on the State Line Fruit Farm, also have

been in late bloom, according to the

owner, Stephen Kuth. Mr. Kuth thinks the poor condition of the trees also is partly responsible, as he has

observed trees will bear most heavily

just before their death.

The autumn bloom is explained by

Purdue hortlculturalists as being due

to the first cold snap, with the warm-!

spell following. The cold weather started the sap to flowing toward the roots, they say, and the, warm weather reversed it starting the flow upward again. This reproduced perfectly the usual spring conditions, and the buds which usually open earliest in the spring were stimulated into bloom. In no case have enough buds bloomed to damage materially the fruit yield for next year.

DUBLIN, Oct 16. The free state

offer of amnesty upon their surrender

military authorities are empowered to punish offenders with death, deporta

$12,000 IS AWARDED

TO BESSIE MEADOWS IN ACCIDENT SUIT Verdict for the plaintiff, Bessie Meadows, and an award of damages amounting to $12,000 was given by the

jury in the suit brought by Miss

Meadows against the C. and O. rail

road. Damages amounting to $25,000

had been asked in the suit, which

grew out of a crossing accident which

occurred at Webster nearly one year

ago.'

The plaintiff, Bessie Meadows, with Harry Van Pelt of Dayton, a travel

ing salesman, were driving in anuto-

mobile Nov. 5, 1921. The car was

struck by a fast freight at a crossing

in Webster. Van Pelt died within an hour after the accident. Injuries to the right leg, hip and knee and loss of use of the right arm were cited as the basis for the damage suit The decision of the jury was given at 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon. Important Case The $25,000 asked in the complaint and the $12,000 granted by the jury make this case one of the most important, from a financial standpoint, that has been tried here for some time. A few years ago a man who had lost a hand in a sawmill was awarded $15,000. Ten thousand dollars Is the largest

amount that can be asked in suit for

damages sustained through the death of another under the Indiana law.

(By Associated Press) NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J., Oct 16.

A charge that a telephone belonging

to Mrs. Edward Wueeler Hall, whose husband was slain, with Mrs. Eleanor

Reinhardt Mills, a choir singer in the

church of which he was rector, had

been tapped, was the latest developmen today in the investigation of the double murder. This charge was made

by SaEy ,Peters, who-live in the Hall

household. She said that no impor

tant calls now were being made over

it.

A similar charge wj 'made by Ralph V. M. Gorsline, vestryman, of the church of St. John the Evangelist, who at one time was questioned as to his whereabouts on the night of the murder. Mr. Gorsline declared he was not greatly concerned about the wlretappinig ag he had nothing to conceal. County Prosecutor Strieker, of Mid

dlesex, also declared he had good rea

sons to believe that the wires leading into his office had been tapped. Surrounded by Guards. Mrs. Hall, whose counsel has protested against bungling investigation which he said had caused ill-founded suspicion against his client, had her porch lights turned on all last night. It previously was learned that she had surrounded herself with body guards day and night for the announced purpose of protecting herself. Investigators today claimed to have

learned that shortly before the murder, the slain couple had spent a day

at Manhattan beach, near Coney Is

land, as tending to prove that an af

fection existed bestween Mrs. Mills and the rector. A letter alleged to

have been written him by his choir

singer was made public today. This

letter, apparently referring to the

Manhattan beach outing, read in part.

"Yesterday I was happy in a way in the boat and in the water, but on the

way home I was thinking hard. Oh

my darling babykins, what a muddle we are in! ' But I will be content, I

will" Special Prosecution

Supreme Court Justice Charles W.

Parker was expected to announce to

day a special prosecutor to take charge

of the inquiry into the murder of th? Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall, rector or the Protestant Episcopal church of S John the Evangelist, and his cho'r

leader, Mrs. Elanor Reinhardt Mills,

He is expected to name Attorney General McCian. but it Is thought unlikely that McCran will personally look af

ter the investigation. McCran is expected to designate an assistant to

handle tne matter. - Private detectives working on the case declared yesterday that their in

vestigations have convinced them that

the murders resulted from jealousy. Julius A. Brown, employed in the Interest of Charlotte, and James Mills daughter and husband of the slain

choir einger, said that Mis-Florence

North, a woman lawyer, representing Charlotte, has in her possession a packet of letters showing beyond a doubt that the rector, and Mrs. Mills were in love. Thinks Pair Lured

Brunner expressed the belief that

the love affair became known to some

member of the congregation, and that

the pair was. lured from their homes

by the telephone calls known to have

been received about 7:30 p. m. of the day on which they were killed. ' He ad

vances the theory that the rector and

Mrs. Mills were confronted with each other, slain and then taken to the spot under the crabapple tree on the Phillips place where the bodies were

found two days later.

He pointed to the fact that the rector's eyes were closed as in sleep, while those of Mrs. Mills left open, as indicating that the murder was a crime

of passion.
