Col. Gonatas Favors Martial

ATHENS, October 10.?Members, of
the Athenian clubs who favor the old
regime are in possession of a large
number of rifles, which is said to be
| the reason for the warning against
possible reactionary movements issued
by Col. Gonatas, military dictator
of the new Greek government.
It is understood the army favors immediate
proclamation of martial .law
throughout Greece as the best means
1! of recovering these arms and avert|
ing possible bloodshed. ?
The cabinet, however, hesitates to
, j ratify such a measure, as it fears this j
. I would produce the impression that j
! the revolution was restricted in tend- j
; ency rather than liberal,
j The revolutionary committee con- !
| tinues to urge unity tipon the poTiti- j
cal factions, and especially insists i
j that King George shall not be aflil- \
j iated with any party. One of the accusations
against the deposed King!
j Constantino was that he meddled in j
party politics.
J Greece has received another un- j
Pleasant shock in the news that j
Italy considers the convention ceding j
the Dodecanese Islands to Greece as
having lapsed.
This Greco-Italian convention was
attached to the treaty of Sevres,
which Italy deems no longer operative.
The Dodecanese Islands, of
which Rhodes is the largest, were
formerly Turkish possessions, although
they have a preponderatingly
Greek population.
The government expects former
Premier Venizelos to make vigorous
efforts in Paris and Dondon to secure

Commissioner Oyster, in charge of
the police department, said today that
he would consider a suggestion which
came to him this morning that the j
District stage an Intensive sevenday
drive of publicity to reduce accidents.
The highway education board has
proposed to the nation-at-large that
this be declared a "safety season" in
preference to a "safety week."
Would Reduce Death Toll.
A number of cities, especially New
York, have taken up the idea with
enthusiasm and are already organizing
to reduce the peace-time death
toll on the highways.
Stephen James, an official of the
highway education board, made the
following suggestions today for a
safety season in Washington:
Have the city authorities appoint
an executive committee, including
representatives of the schools, police
department and large civic organizations.
Form, safety patrols among the
older boys in school to assl3t younger
children in crossing "streets before
and after school hours.
Use every available channel by
which to impart the message of safety-first
to children and parents.
Skating Deaths Show Need.
Washington has just closed a successful
educational campaign in the
Interest of fire prevention, which was
carried on by a committee of citizens
appointed by the Commissioners,
urder the leadership of Charles W.
Darr of the Chamber of Commerce.
The need for a safety-drive in
Washinngton at this time has been
made more timely by the revival of
roller skating.
Two youths have been killed and a
number Injured already this month,

SOMER VILLK. X. J., October 10.?
Nineteen-year-old Clifford Hayes of
New Brunswick today pleaded not
guilty of murdering the Rev. Edward
Wheeler Hall and Mrs. Eleanor Reinhardt
Mills, and was *he>d by Justice
of the Peace Sutphen without bail for
grand jury action.
Authorities who announced, with a
show of contldence. upon Hayes' arrest
yesterday that the Hall-Mills
mystery had been solved have less
satisfaction with the case today.
One investigator said another lead
was being worked upon, which if
verified would "change the entire
complexion of the case."
This lead, he added, pointed away
from young Hayes, and appeared to
provide a motive that would explain
the mad slashing of Mrs. Mills' throat
in addition to her bullet wounds.
Schneider Still Held.
Raymond Schneider, upon whose accusation
Hayes was arrested, still
was held today as a material witness
and was being questioned from time
to time in an effort to clear up discrepancies
in his stories as compared
with facts established from other
sources.
Schneider said Hayes had shot the
minister and the choir singer under
tho gnarled apple tree on the old
Phillips farm, thinking the pair to be
Pearl Bahmer. fifteen, and her stepfather,
Nicholas Bahmer. Schneider
admitted that he himself was in love
with the girl and declared that Hayes
had acted as avenger of a wrong
Schneider believed had been done
himself by the girl's stepfather.
Hayes denied the story vehemently,
hurling a counter accusation that
Schneider had rohhed the dead min
ister's bodv of a gold watch and,
seeking to divert suspicion from himself,
Schneider charged that Hayes
stole the watch.
Schneider said he could not account
for the cutting of Mrs. Mills'
throat, the scattering about of love
letters written to Mr. Hai^ by the
choir singer nor the placing of onf
oT the minister's cards against the
sole of his shoe. The$' fled the scene,
according to his story, as soon as
they discovered that Hayes had shot
the wrong persons.
ARREST LAID TO POLITICS.
Wave of Skepticism Sweeps New
Jersey Over Probe.
Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J., October
10.?The murder of the Rev. Edward
Wheeler Hall and his choir singer,
Mrs. Eleanor Mills, was steeped in
deeper mystery than ever today, notwithstanding
the arrest of Clifford
Hayes, who is formally* charged with
the crime.
A wave of skepticism has swept the
entire state of New Jersey and the
detention of young Hayes, a boy of
good reputation in the community, is
denounced in certain quarters as a
"political arrest."
The story which has put him behind
the bars, told by his supposed friend
and companion on the night of the
murder, Raymond Schneider, is declared
too fantastic for ready belief.
Furthermore, it leaves some of
the most essential phases of the
murder entirely unexplained, it is asserted.
If the prosecutors are satisfied with
the Schneider theory that the rector
1 lL. _ I _ U.- n.UinlrA
clliu llie Mi lip, ci w ci c sum uy liusianc
on the assumption that they were another
couple, they either know a great
deal more than they have made public
or are more easily satisfied than
the average citizen of New Brunswick.
The New Brunswick newspapers
today call upon the prosecution
for a better "solution" of the crime.
"Confession" Under A train.
It Is plain that the alleged "confession"
of Schneider that he was with
Hayes when the latter shot the trysting
rector and singer under the old
apple tree on the Phillips farm was
obtained after an entire night of the
"third degree." The method employed
was the favorite one of not permitting
the witness to sleep, shouting
questions at him at the slightest sign
of a doze. Hayes says the authorities
tried similar methods on him, but
he had nothing to tell.
Although the authorities are under
fire for their present line of inquiry,
they rightfully say they cannot overlook
the fact that the boys under suspicion
were in the vicinity of the
crime and had the "opportunity" to
kill. They also take into consideration
the fact that It w*as the Schneider
boy who finally reported the finding
of the bodies two days after the
minister and the sexton's wife had
disappeared.
Says He Fled Scene.
Schneider says that he ran away
from the scene of the crime when he
discovered that Hayes had made a
mistake in his shooting. Hayes joined

McCUMBER SEES
NO BONUS HOPE
IN NEW SESSION
Soldier bonus legislation will not
be revived at the coming short session
of Congress in the opinion of
Senator McCumber, chairman of the
Senate finance committee, who has
charge of the soldier bonus bill in
the Senate. Senator McCumber
said today, however, that he believed
when the new Congress comes
in, being after March 4 next, a
soldier bonus bill would be pressed.
"There will be no change in the
personnel of Congress at the coming
short session," said Senator
McCumber. "It would be impossible
to pass the bonus bill over a Presidential
veto, just as it was at the
last session. But when the new Congress
comes into office, then soldier
bonus legislation will be t&gen up

Guggenheim Was Eldest Son of
Founder of Family.
Isaac Guggenheim, member of the
widely known family of that name so
prominently associated with the development
of the mining industry in
Colorado as well as in Mexico and in
different sections of the United States
and South America, became treasurer
and a director of the American Smelting
and Refining Company in 1901,
and throughout his business life had
been actively connected with large
industrial and railway enterprises.
He was the eldest son of Meyer
Guggenheim, founder of the family in
America. Born in 1854, he engaged
in various commercial enterprises until
1881, when, with his three younger
brothers, he joined his father in forming
the firm of M. Guggenheim's Sons,
dealing exiciwivcij m ICAIUC i
importations, which chiefly occupied
the attention of the family until the
latter part of the last century, when
they acquired large holdings of silver
and copper mining property and other
interests, and developed the mining
and smelting industry, with which
the Guggenhelms have been so prominently
associated. Mr. Guggenheim
long has been activg in charitable

PARIS. France. Oc tober 10.?On of- j
flcial authority the writer is informed
that France will fight the decision of
Attomcv General Dauehertv forbid i
ding the presence of liquor on board j
foreign vessels in American waters. ;
This country feels that it must fight
in order to protect interests vital to
the prosperity of the French nation.
The action, it is understood, will take
the form of a protest to the Harding
administration, and in case that fails
there will be customs reprisals j
against American shipping bound for
French ports. It also seems possible I
that France will approach other European
nations with a view to concerted
action.
"It seems to me that the United
States is blocking itself by the new
ruling," said an official of the highest
rank at the ministry of marine
today. "France is n6t the only country
hit by the ruling, for Great Britain,
Germany, Sweden and Italy also
have ships going to the United States
which carry liquor of one sort or
another as part of their menus. For
the sake of their crews they will not
want to become subject to prohibition.

We would have a hard time, indeed,
in finding sailors willing to man our
ships if in advance we forbade them

Large Tasks.
Warning was given today at the
American Red Cross convention by
Miss Mabel T. Boardman, its secretary,
that the organization must limit its
work to that provided for in its congressional
charter or throw itself in
danger of the penalty of losing its
charter and surrendering property in
Washington which it now occupies by
the grace of the government.
A number of temporary organizations
have entered the field of the Red
Cross. Miss Boardman pointed out.
and added that just so long as the
Red Cross goes into fields not its own.
other organizations will have to be
formed to do its work. The question
is whether the Red Cross should enter
the field of normal relief or hold itself.
in accordance with its charter,
to supply great relief work in accordance
with emergencies developed by
disasters, such as floods, famines, pestilence,
etc.
Duty of Local Service.
It is the duty of public health services.

the Red Cross to undertake service

where the public health services are
not up to the highest standards. It
is an important function of the Red
Cross, she pointed out, to instruct in
hygiene and sanitation.
Continued demands by local chapters
for funds to carry on Tocal relief
work and local peace-time services.
Miss Boardman said, would nullify
endeavors to raise funds in time of
great emergencies such as the present
one in the near east.

Following Miss Boardman's address
the convention entered upon a lengthy
discussion of the division of funds
collected by the local chapters be
tween themselves and the national
bsdy.
In the coarse the debate. Judge
John Barton Payne told the delegates
that the central committee had given
very deep consideration to this
problem.
'"Since the national body gets only
50 cents of each contribution, if
you go to whittling the tree the
American Red Cross will fall. What
we want is publicity. We want the
people to understand that the Red
Cross must be supported, that it is
doing its job and that it is not wastine:
monev. I started a vear aero to
reduce the expenses of the Red Cross
and have reduced them by one-half.
Don't feel for an instant that the
American Red Cross is charged with
local responsibilities to the exclusion
of its great national duty."

He said that he was approached
regarding the matter of handling
the situation in the near east and
asked what the attitude of the Red
Cross was. and when he replied that
the Red Cross would do the Job the
whole atmosphere changed.
"Suppose." he asked the delegates,
"f had said that the American Red
Cross would handle it but would
have to beat the bushes for the
money? The Red Cross would have
had to pass out of existence."
He cited this as indicating the
importance- of supporting the national
body so that it would be ever
ready to handle all emergencies.
"Don't make any mistake," he concluded.
"Don't put the ax to the
roots of the tree."

At great length Miss Boardman outlined
to the delegates many lines of
service which can be rendered by the
local chapters, among them establishing
"clothes closets." preserving,
using the Juniors to pick the berries
and fruits, the motor corps for gathering
them and others assisting in
putting them up.
A resolution from the resolutions

committee lay down a definite stand
on the division of funds collected by
the chapters, between them and the
national body. It pointed out that
this matter came up at each "roll
call" and urged the central committee
either to change the present fiftyfifty
plan, or if no other plan can be
found, then to announce a firm stand
which can be followed by the chapters.
The convention at first voted to
pass the resolution over, but Secretary
Green pointed out that the resolutions
committee had sent the resolution
over with the request that it be given
immediate consideration, so that the
sense of the convention could be
