Case Not Submitted to

By Boyden Sparkes
NEW BRUNSWICK. N. J., Oct. 21,?
At the end of fivo weeks of inexpert
Investigation, the authorities of Mid?
dlesex and Somerset counties are hint?
ing that they have found an innocent
woman -witness of the murder of the
Rev. Edward W. Hall and Mrs. Eleanor
Milis. They know the crime was com?
mitted on one. of the darkest nifrhts in
the month of September, and yet they
ire ready to go before a grand jury
and ask for the indictment of two men
Mid a woman. Whatever their woman
witness saw, and she is supposed to be
s resident of the rural region nenr the
pkiliips farm, they are admittedly de?
fending upon her to identify the mur?
derers.
"Rumors regarding the signing of
SS affidavit to the effect that my sis?
ter was an eye-witness to the murder
.at Mr. Hall and Mrs. Mills are abso?
lutely untrue and unfounded," de
?l?red John W. Rastall to-night.
"She has never been questioned by
iflthorities in this or in any other con?
nection with this case either to-day or
it any other time. Other rumors to
the effect that she is in seclusion are
equally untrue. She is at home now."
Rumor Annoy_ Miss Rastall
For several weeks Miss Rastall has
been made to feel uncomfortable be?
cause her name was linked with thu
jnvestig'.tion after Ralph V. M. Gors
line, one of the vestrymen of St. John's
Church, in accounting for his move?
ments on the night of September 14,
Hid that he hid passed Miss Rastall
in hie automobile and that she had ac?
cepted his invitation to take her to
her home. The day after Gorsllne was
questioned at the courthouse his au?
tomobile was destroyed by lire.
Goriline was questioned to-day about
thfat ?ccident. An investigator went
to bit home. He told the investigator
that the fire was caused by an over?
heated choke and that a friend, whose
name h. gave to the investig'ator, was
dliving the car when it happened.
Gorsline was asked again to giye a de?
tailed account of his movements on
Sfptem'.-er 14.
7b spite of Prosecutor Azariah Beek
Bin's non-committal attitude of yester?
day it was learned positively to-day
that the Hall-Mills murder was not
mentioned to the grand jurors ouring
Wie hour and a half that he was before
them on Friday. It would have been a
simple matter for Mr. Beekman to have
?aid that he had not presented the case
t? them, but he chose to be as mys?
terious as a poker player drawing four
ttrds to a shoestring.
The grand jury meets again Monday
and there is a possibility that the dou?
ble murder will be presented to them
then. It was learned to-day that when
they wer?? charged by Supreme Court
Justice Parker, sitting in Somervillo
two days ago, they were warned that
they probably would be asked to con?
sider the "atrocious crime o;? the dou?
ble murder of the Rev. Dr. Hall and
Mrs. Mills."
It is to Justice Parker that persons
anxious to have the ' Investigation
placed in more competent hand- will
nave to appeal under the law of New
Jersey. Justice Parker also charged
the grand jury "to deal with the case,

Plot to Sell
4,000 Stolen
Autos Nipped
New York Bankers Cause
Arrest of Suspect in
Scheme to Seize Cars in
Detroit for Sale Here
Promoter Admits
Deceit, Police Say
Insurance Man Inspires
Inquiry; C. B. Richard &
Co. Acted in Good Faith
Special Dispatch to The Tribune
DETROIT, Oct. 21.?How the Motor
Industries Corporation was formed in
New York for the purpose of selling
4,000 Cadillac automobiles, stolen
Detroit; how C. B. Richard & Co., New
York bankers acting in good faith,
were induced to finance the scheme by
being told that the cars would be sup?
plied by the General Motors Corpora?
tion, makers of the Cadillac, who,
wished to secretly make and place on
the market, under the guise of used
cars, new cars made from old and sur?
plus stock, and how the curiosity of
New York insurance agent led to the
frustrating of the plot and the urres-.
here of Edward J. Sweeny, well known
nutomobile dealer and alleged "brains"
of the organization, was revealed here
to-day by Inspector L. H. Parker, or
the Detroit Police Department.
Had the plot been carried out, it
would have meant a loss of $4,000,000
to the bankers or $??,800,000 to pur?
chasers of the cars, police say. How?
ever, the first car sold was found to be
Stolen, and Mr. Sweeney was arrested I
in the lobby of the Stntler Hotel in De-1
troit while waiting for D. J. Lewis, of j
I the C. B. Richard Company, New York
j banking firm, to turn over to him
I $10,000 for the first consignment of
j cars. Mr. Lewis showed up with the
j $10,000, but also with two detectives.
Exhibits Option on 4,000 Cars
The Motor Industries Corporation
was incorporated in New York for the
purpose of handling Cadillac cars, and
on April 8 Sweeney, representing the
corporation., called upon the C. B.
I Richard firm for financial backing, pre?
senting what purported to be an option
! on 4,000 automobiles to be made by the
General Motors Company. It was on
General Motors stationery and suppos?
edly signed by a vice-president and
manager of the company, and stated that
Mr. Sweeney was to receive 4,000 cars
i from them at the following prices:
?100 roadsters at $1,000, 1,500 phaetons
j at $1,000, 1,600 touring cars at $1,100,
! 425 victorias at $1,400, 390 sedans at
?$1,650 and 75 limousines at $2,000.
I They were to be sold through Sweeney
j at a profit of $300 a car. They were to
j be new cars, made from surplus old
I stock, and were to be sold as used cars,
the tires being old and the speedom
I eter showing some mileage.
A contract was signed on September
27. Sweeney took a car to D. J. Lewis,
of the Richards firm, saying it was a
sample he had driven to New York
himself, and a buyer was found imme?
diately in Ed Weiner, of 45 John
Street, New York City. Sweeney said
that he was ready to start delivery of
i cars at once and It was decided that
Mr. Lewis should bring $10,000 to De?
troit to pay for them on October 3.
In the mean time, when Mr. Weiner
went to have his new car insured, an
insurance examiner, J. Chester Smith,
154 Nassau Street, New York, examined
his car and, suspicious of the number,
wired the General Motors people in De?
troit, who in turn notified Inspector
Parker. Inspector Parker discovered
that it had been Btolen in Detroit Sep?
tember 21, and wired the New York
police to get it.
New Yorker Appeals to Police
Mr. Weiner appealed to tho Richards
firm, which wired Mr. Lewis, who was
in Detroit. Mr. Lewis was in the lobby
of the Statler Hotel in Detroit waiting,
to turn over the $10,000 to Mr. Swee?
ney, when he received the wire. He
went to Inspector Parker's office im?
mediately and told him of tho option
and contract. Mr. Lewis and two de?
tectives then went back to the hotel,
where Mr. Sweeney, who was awaiting
Mr. Lewis, was arrested.
He has admitted, police say, that his
story to the bankers was false, that he
had told it to obtain financing and that
he had planned to buy enough cars to
fulfil the contract. He also eaid he
had circularized all dealers and owners
of Cadillacs in Michigan, saying he
would pay the best prices for used
Cadillacs. He bought the car he de?
livered to "Weiner.
Howver, police say that Sweeney was
indicted on a fraud charge in New York
last summer and is now out on $10,000
bail. They point out that during the
week previous to his taking the sample
car to New York ten Cadillac cars,
eight touring cars, a sedan and a
limousine were stolen in Detroit and
have not yet been recovered.
Sweeney, who is now in jail, was
eecretlv arraigned a few days aeo be?
fore United States Commissioner J.
Stanley Hurd, at which time he pleaded
not guilty to a violation of the Dyer
act and was held in $10,000 bond.

Ford Victor
In Race Void
As Unofficial
First of the Fishermen's |
Series Must Be Sailed
Over, Committee Rules,
as Boats Ignore Recall
Winner Threatens
To Quit, Is Rumor
Canadian Captain Willing
to "Call It a Go," but
Committee Is Adamant
By Frederick B. Edwards
GLOUCESTER, Mass, Oct. 21.?The
Henry Ford, of Gloucester, in weather
exceedingly well suited to her build
and trim, went out to-day and took tho
first of the threo scheduled interna?
tional fishermen's races awny from the
Canadian champion Bluenose, of Lunen
burg, N. S. Then tho international
race committee went out and took the
race away from the Henry Ford.
On the play which says that the Ford,
which won by fifteen minutes, didn't
win because the race, whlcli was sailed
over the indicated course inside tho
required time limit, was not a race at
all, Captain Angus Walters, of the
Bluenose, gets an assist. When Cap?
tain Walters sent back word to the
coroitiittec that they should go and
Jump off the dock, after a coastguard
patrol boat had notified him to return
to the starting line, he gummed tho
works completely. The race was actu?
ally the most technical jumble of mis?
understandings and wrong moves which |
any series has yet provided.
It puts the fishermen's race in a cla__* !
with the America's Cup contests for
superiority of lepal strategy. Only the
committee knew just how matters stood,
and most of the time the committee
was not sure about it.
After a brief session with tho inter?
national committee, the sailing com?
mittee which wag in charge of the
start issued this statement:
"There is no official race, on account
of both the contestants having made
false starts." The document was
signed by all the members of tho com?
mittee.
"Call It a Race," Says Bluenose
Captain Walters was called before
the committee at this hearing, and
told them that although he was beaten
he was satisfied to call it a race. The
officials insisted that the decision must
stand as made.
The unofficial timo for the race,
clocked by observers at the finish,
shows this: Ford, 4:20:23; Bluenose,
4:42:04. This gives the Ford a thir?
teen minute lead over the Canadian
cup holder. The elapsed time is
6:29:03?barely half an hour inside
tho time limit of seven hours.
The figures plainly indicate the
lightness of the wind, when it is re?
membered that the course was prac?
tically one long reach with no wind?
ward work.
At the Master Mariners' Association,
where Secretary Denby paid an in?
formal visit to-day, tho grizzled skip?
pers sat and handed the latest in pre?
dictions and reports gravely from one
to another.
Threat to Quit Rumored
It was said that Captain Clayton
Morrissey, who is a stout and stanch
Gloucesterman, though he was born in
Lower East Pubnico, which is in Nova
Scotia, had flatly refused to accept the
committee's ruling. "Get your tackle
aboard, men," the captain is reported
as saying. "On Monday we go fishing
and they can do what they like with
their old race."
Captain Morrissey did not confirm
this statement, but ho made no bones
of his disappointment at the decision.
Another good story while it lasted
was that the committee had decided to
reverse its decision. This was one of
many tales turning upon the reported
activities of the officials. It has no
foundation, but it was reported to Cap?
tain Angus Walters, who promptly an?
nounced, according to the rumor, that
he would withdraw from the race if
the committee did any "shilly-shally?
ing."
A dispute arose between Captain An?
gus and Russell Smith, of Gloucester,
who was the official observer upon the
Bluenose. Captain Walters is quoted
as saying that he did not see aay sig?
nal for postponement of the start and
that when the patrol boat drew along?
side it was Smith who re/used to turn
back.
In rebuttal, Smith said that he had
no authority over the Bluenose cap?
tain, who was sailing his own vessel.
The responsibility for the refusal to
return remains between the two.
To Recnt Ford Sails
It did become known to-night with
authority, however, that tho Ford's
suit of sails is still over the limit al?
lowed by the deed of gift. H. R". Sil?
ver, of Halifax, chairman of the trus?
tee committee, has entered an official
protest against the Ford's present
spread of canvas, and her sails will
again have to be re?ut before Mon?
day's race.
Tho official report of Captain Akiah
Conrad, of Lunenburg, observer for tho
Canadians on board the Henry Ford,
tells the ingenious tale of how the Lu?
nenburg skipper put the Secretary of
the United States Navy in his place. It
appears, according to Captain Conrad's
report, that at one period of the race,
with the Ford out ahead and going up,
Secretary Denby, who was a special
permission passenger on board the
Ford, expressed a desire to take her
wheel. Captain Morrissey was willing,
but the official observer said no. He

3-Mile Liquor
Ruling of U. S.
Now in Effect
Time Extension Ordered by
Harding Expires? Sug?
gestions for Additional
Grace Not Approved
Hope for Decision Here
Enforcement Officials De?
sire Law' Interpretation
Before Violation Occurs
WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.?Provisions
of the liquor statutes held by Attorney
General Daugherty to prohibit trans?
portation and sale of alcoholic bever?
ages on American vessels anywhere
and on foreign vessels within three
miles of the United States coast be?
came effective to-night at midnight.
The extension of time ordered by
President Harding to permit ship lines
to arrange their affairs to conform to
the ruling expired at midnight, and
enforcement officials declared sugges?
tions for a further extension had not
been approved.
It was considered probable that
I Beveral days would elapse before cus
1 toma and prohibition forces would
have at hand specific Instructions as
to the scope of their authority under
the Daugherty opinion, but this, it
was declared, would have no effect on
the operation of the law.
Penalties Hang Over Seas
A foreign vessel, sailing with inhi?
bited cargo ufter to-day, it was said,
would be liable to the penalties fixen
by the Volstead act if and when she
entered American coastal waters bear?
ing that cargo.
American ships, under the ruling of
the Attorney General, which received
the formal approval of President Hard?
ing, are prohibited from "possessing"
liquor regardless of where they are in
operation. The ban was made opera?
tive as to Shipping Board tonnage as
soon as the ruling was published,
though time was allowed for the dis?
posal of any illicit stocks on board ves?
sels of the fleet then at sea.
Enforcement officials are hopeful of
a decision coming from the Federal
District Court in New York?where
the new interpretation of the law is
under fire by both foreign and Ameri?
can lines?before the arrival of a ves?
sel in violation of the ban necessitates
punitivo action against the ship, the
agents and her master, as required by
law.
It is pointed out that only vessels ;
which clear from foreign ports after ?
midnight to-night come within the re?
strictions, thus giving a further "auto?
matic stay" of five to seven days in
the cases of most ships on the regular
Atlantic routes and of an even longer
period with respect to ships crossing
the Pacific.
United States Would Appeal Stay
Absence of formal instructions as to
their procedure will not serve as a
deterrent on customs and prohibition
forces, it was declared, as the regu?
lations now standing are sufficient to
permit them to act in cases of suspect?
ed violation.
Administration officials looked to an
early decision from Judge Hand in
New York to clear the situation. If
affirmative?granting a permanent in?
junction which would restrain the gov?
ernment from enforcing its interpreta?
tion of the law?the decision would
?ict as an automatic stay pending ad?
judication of tho appeal which the De?
partment of Justice has indicated
would be taken immediately.
Should Judge Hand vacate the tem?
porary order, however, the government
would be free to proceed with enforce?
ment unless and until the lines af?
fected brought some new action in the
courts.
Await Report on Emerald
Reply by the State Department to
the protests of Great Britain against
seizure of the Canadian schooner Em?
erald to-night still was av.ait.ng a re?
port froth the New York prohibition
director giving details of the case
against that ship. The brief report re?
ceived yesterday, declaring the Emer?
ald had illegally communicated with
the shore by means of small boats, was
. not considered sufficiently informative
for the purposes of the State Depart?
ment, which had requested Secretary
Mellon to obtain and transmit all de?
tails bearing on the seizure.
Under the policy announced by Pres?
ident Hardipg, enforcement of the li?
quor and customs laws at sea would be
restricted to the three-mile zone ex?
cept in cases of ships which had estab?
lished communication with American

Attorney General Defends
Conduct of the Depart?
ment in Canton Speech
CANTON, Ohio, Oct. 21 (By The As?
sociated Press).?Making his only cam?
paign speech to the voters of his home
state, Attorney General Daugherty to?
night rendered an accounting of his
stewardship at Washington, defended
his course In the Chicago injunction
proceedings and in the prosecution of
war frauds, and declared that despite
"accusation and calumny" the Depart?
ment of Justice would proceed to per?
form its duties as it sees them under
the Constitution.
In tho strike emergency, the Attor?
ney General said, the Federal govern?
ment used the injunction as the last
drastic means at hand for rescuing the
country from "the grip of civil war."
He ascribed some of the blame to "the
radicalism and character" r,f promi?
nent labor leaders and some of it to
"hard boiled" railway executives, and
asserted that any Attorney General
who would not have acted under the
circumstances "should be impeached."
Attempt to Force Their Hand
Declaring the real purpose of at?
tacks on the department's record in
war frauds investigation was to force
the hand of the government and prema?
turely disclose important evidence,
Mr. Daugherty said such assaults had
been inspired, not by the department's
inactivity but because tender spots had
been touched by the suits alrea'dy un?
der way.
"We would have heard little criticism
of the Department of Justice." he said,
"had it not been discovered that a case
like tho Chemical Foundation, for in?
stance (in which valuable patents were
assigned by public officials to compa?
nies which they themselves had organ?
ized), was under investigation, and the
part played by thoso involved also was
? ein*? scrutinized by government
! agents.
"And let me hete, without giving any
intimation as to who the men were, let
me suggest that I have had the unique
experience of sitting in the Depart?
ment, of Justice and listening to the
story of a man formerly connected with
the government and hearing patiently
his pleas for certain fairly legitimate
concessions, when, at the same time, in
the City of New York, another former
official, one of his associates, was bus?
ily engaged in getting contributions
and making connections in order that
the attacks upon the Department of
Justice and the government might be
increased, reinforced and successfully
continued.
Names on Demand
"I can give the names of these par?
ties if ever they lift their voices to
dispute this statement, but, unless I
am authorized by them so to do, I
should like to go through this en?
tire investigation without premature?
ly mentioning names, except in the
orderly process of court proceedings.
Their names, however, will be found
in connection with certain litigation
wherein some of the moBt important
questions and some of the most ques?
tionable transactions and some of the
most valuable property in the world
are in dispute, and the right and
wrong of the transactions connected
with the transfer of certain property
must be determined in a court of jus?
tice."
The Attorney General recounted
the difficulties encountered in war
fraud prosecutions in the face of scat?
tered evidence of which, he said, the
previous administration did not avail
itself when the time was opportune.
He -aid his own administration had
gone to work as soon as it was in?
stalled.
Attack Was Camouflage
"As soon as it became known how
effectually the work was going on,"
he continued, "the storm broke. The j
opposition of the crooks was con?
ducted behind a smoke ? screen of
calumny, created for their own es?
cape, and the real reason for the at?
tack was, in every instance, withheld.
The very men against whom both civil
and criminal proceedings have been
brought, were using the ignorant and
the notoriety seeker to make charges
in the open that nothing was being
done by the Department of Justice.
"The real reason for their activity
was the fact that things were being
done. What did any man's reputation,
his character, his life even, amount to
if it -tood in the way of their corrupt
defense? But we have gone through
it all and still we are not afraid, and
we will go on.

demanded. Why? Because they could

LONDON. Oct. 21 (By The As?

the King this evening. There was
much speculation as to what
passed, but Bonar Law declined
to say anything on the subject.
Lloyd George, arriving in Lon- j

from a great crowd at the station,
who demanded a speech. In re?

that ho had had a tremendous

LONDON, Oct. 21.?While Lloyd
George was In the north of England
to-day defending the record he made
as Premier and breathing defiance at
the politicians of the Carlton Club,
Bonar Law stayed in London and
worked on his program for the new
government which he will present to
the King on Monday. He also arranged
for the general election which will be
held on November 18.
King George will dissolve Parliament
on Tuesday. A proclamation calling
for nominations for the new Parlia?
ment will follow immediately. Before
the end of next week Great Britain will
be in the throes of the hottest politi?
cal campaign in the present generation.
Behind the scenes all sorts of schemes
are being proposed for a new coalition,
for no party is sufficiently confident in
its own power to maintain a straight
government of its own, although the
Conservatives have more reason to fol?
low an independent policy than any of
the others.
Gate Open to Unionist?!
Lord Derby, who will sit in Bonar
Law's Cabinet, spoke this afternoon
and in a mildly inviting manner left
the door open for Lloyd George Lib?
erals to coalesce with the Conservatives
after the election. But he also mad?
it clear that the Unionists intend to
keep the leadership and "boss their
own show" in the future. The fact
is that everybody seems to want Lloyd
George, but they fear he will appoint
himself captain.
The Ascjuith Liberals, who fill a
role not dissimilar to that of the Re?
publican party leaders in 1912 when
Roosevelt sought renomination, do not
want the little Welshman, but the Tank
and file of the party are willing to let
bygones be bygones and accept hiro
with open arms. There is reason to be?
lieve that Lloyd George gladly would
accept tne leadership of the Liberals,
but that he does not care to be a mere
follower.
Another important movement on foot
is designed to bring tho Liberals and
the Labor party'together, both during
the election and thereafter. Tho Lib?
erals are willing to make concessions,
but they have had little encouragement
from the labor men, who although they

Legless Man Parks Car;
Begs $9.38 in Half Hour
Detective Takes Him Into
Court, and He'll Face the
Judge To-day
Detective Nat Snydeck*.r took Fred
Hammill, who has no legs, Into Men's
Night Court last night on a charge of
begging. He sait he had arrested
Hammill at Fifth Avenue and Thir?
tieth Street after the man had collected
$9.38 in half an hour.
Hammill was held in $500 bail for a
hearing in Jerffe?son Market court to?
morrow. The detective did not testify
in court, but told newspapermen of the
arrest. Hammill, he said, drives about
the country in a glossy sedan, and last
night parked the car in Twenty-sixth
Street and started rolling himself
northward on Fifth Avenue sidewalks
on a wheeled platform.
Snydecker kept a close wstch on
Hammill, he said, and hovered near
when the prisoner baeked himself
against a wall at Thirtieth Street. At
the end of half an hour the jingling
contents of Hammill _ hat. according
to the detective, totaled $9.38.
The car in which the legless man

Issue Is Whether Nation
or the Party Shall Bei

in Opening Campaign
Blames High Taxes
For Unpopularity
But Pound Sterling Now
Can Look a Dollar in
the Face, He Declares
By Harold E. Scarborough
From Th? Tribune's European Bureo?
Copyrlr-t. 1922. New York Tribuno In?,
LEEDS, Oct. 21.?David Lloyd
George, retiring British Prime Min?
ister, issued the expected challenge
to his foes to-day, making the key?
note of his address "I stand for the
people." Although the fire and
vigor of his earlier speeches in the
north country were abated somewhat
in the presence of the hard-headed
Yorkahiremen who sat before him
to-day and he spoke sometimes
pleadingly in his defense of his coali?
tion government, the whole address
gave indication that th-i? fighting
spirit was merely being held in
leash while he furnished a solid back?
ground for future campaign argu?
ments.
Nevertheless, his speech bristled
with epigrams such as might be car?
ried away from the meeting and re?
peated. The stage w,?.s well set for
a dramatic appeal, but he did not
take the full advantage of it that
had been expected. His very mod?
eration, however, had a profound
effect upon the audience which
packed the big Majestic Theater and
there were frequent whispers that
"he was holding his big bolt in reser?
vation until the new government had
shown its hand." There were fully
three thousand persons in the house,
mostly middle class men and women,
the latter being the most demon?
strative.
Cathedral Effect Emphasized
The theater In its interior arrange?
ments suggests a cathedral, and this
atmosphere was heightened by the fact
that for a half hour before tho Pre?
mier spoke a pipe organ pealed forth
patriotic airs. Just before he ap?
peared the audience joined In the
chorus of "The Land of Hope and
Glory."
When Lloyd George walked out on
the stage two spotlights from the gal?
lery cut through the semi-darkness of
the house and played around his white
hair. The audience stood up and
shouted their greetings. When he be?
gan his speech his voice was plainly
audible in every corner of the house.
With .a.I the oratorical artifices of
which he is master, Lloyd George first
addressed himself to one section o*
the audience and then the other. He
began with an argument "to allow
those who had won the war to win
peace." His epigrams seemed to find
great favor with the audience and
most of them were variations of th
keynote "I stand for the people." When
he said that "the banner of party
strife has been raised in the Carlton
Club" he brought out the first genuin?
burst of applause.
Compares Himself to Doctor
"They say I was a very good war
Premier, but the war is over now," he
remarked. "I was like a doctor who
was good in life and death cases, but
couldn't cure a headache. I haven't
got the proper bedside manner. When
one cuts expenses it brings in no votes,
yet as the result of our financial policy
the sovereign is beginning to look the
dollar in the face."
Between these flashes of wit he kept
up a steady argument in favor of all
his official acts since the signing of the
Versailles treaty. He dwelt particu?
larly on his attitude toward labor, but
so far as could be judged from the re?
sponse his defense of his efforts to re?
store British credit found the readiest
response and approval. The Yorkahira
men whom he was addressing have a
fondness for discussion of national
finance, particularly when it is made
to appear that expenses are being cut.
Despite all the clever points he made
there was no climax, and in the last
quarter of an hour of the speech there
was a steady trickle of auditors toward
the door. They had been disappointed
by the lack of fireworks. The final
cheering was noticeably weak.
Instead of the provocative attitude
toward the Conservatives, which had
been expected, tho Premier chose a
demeanor that was almost austere?
he spoke more in sorrow than in
anger. He was not the "fighting
Welshman."
Bonar Law a Friend
An impatient woman who sat near
the stage finally blurted out: "What
about Bonar Law?" Th? Premier
paused and looked gravely at her fox
a moment, then Baid: "He's a friend of
mine; I'd be very Borry to say any?
thing against him." Later he expressed
regret that the new Premier had not
listened to Lord Balfour' and Mr.
Chamberlain, adding that he did not
see how, in the circumstances, an elec?
tion could be long deferred.
Closing his speech Lloyd Georg?
?aid: "I stand for sound progress
Whatever happens in the future you
can depend upon that. I will do noth?
ing mean or paltry."
LEEDS, England, Oct. 21 (By The
Associated Press).?"The banner of
party strife has been hoisted at the
Carlton Club,'*' said Mr. Lloyd Georg?
in opening his speech in defense of his
administration at a meeting of coali?
tion Liberals here this afternoon. "The
great combination of men of all parties
and creeds for national purposes, the
combination which led us to victory
