Chains which, for the last eight
years, have barred all traffic ex
cept that of the street railways,
from crossing at the intersection
of New York Avenue and Fifteenth
Street, “Death Corner” were re
moved at 9:30 a. m. today. The
change is in the nature of an ex
periment and will get a three-day
tryout, according to Major Edwin
B. Hesse, superintendent of police.
For the time being, the chains
will be put back during the rush
hours until it has been found
whether the new plan proves ef
fective during the rest of the day.
“Some change was imperative,"
said Major Heese in speaking of
the present experiment. “There
was a busy corner devoted ex
clusively to the use of public util
ities: the Washington public are
entitled to use that corner and
we intend they shall if it is prac
ticable."
Col. I. C. Moller, assistant director
of traffic; Inspector Ernest L‘
Brown, in charge of the traffic
bureau; Lieut. B. A. Lamb, of the
traffic bureau, and Lieut. James
Beckett and Serg. George H. Moran,
of the First precinct, were present
when the chains were removed, to
note the effect.
Under the new plan, traffic may
cross to the north or south in
Fiftenth St., or West on Pennsyl
vania Avenue, but no eastbound
traffic will be permitted to cross
the intersection. No left turns will
be allowed. A big saving will be
effected for motorists heretofore
obliged to detour at that point.
Fourteenth Street, Madison Place,
and East Executive Avenue, will
be the other thoroughfares prin
cipally affected by the diversion of
traffic formerly shunted to them
because of the chain*.

COUNCIL
fifth reservation proposed by
the United States as a condi
tion to its entry to the World
Court, today proved a diffi
cult pill to swallow for the
representatives of thirty-seven
powers, signatory to the World
Court, in conference here to
pass upon the American re
servations.
All Attack U. 8. Demand
Representatives of France, Bel
gium and Italy all attacked this
reservation, declaring that the
United States is seeking a special
and privileged position.
“Does America want all of the
privileges of a member of the
council of the League without
having any of the burdens of a
member?" queried Sir Cecil
Hurst, British delegate.
Against Ruling Now
The Be,gian delegation suggested
that the World Court be asked to
decide whether unanimity or a ma
jority is required to accept the
United States reservations.
Sir Cecil Hurst suggested that it
would be better not to ask the court
for an opinion on this matter now,
but to let the question remain ob
scure for the time bein, at the same
time giving the United States assur
ances that it .would have all the
pi ivlleges before the World Court
that would be given to a member of
the League council, no more and no
less.
"Then we can see what the Unit
ed States really wants,’’ said Sir
Cecil. "The fifth reservation is the

Now for tho first tints, tho truo background of the mystifying Halt-

knows them best—Charlotte Mills, daughter of the murdered woman.
In yesterday’s chapter. Miss Mills told of the drab existence of her

She was a disciplinarian, mother was, to both of us, my
brother Danny and me. She came of German people, the
Reinhardts, a big family, seven girls and four boys, and they
were poor.
My Grandfather Reinhardt was a watchman and used to
earn very little for all that family, and they didn’t have much,
I can tell you. They were brought up pretty stern.
Although they all finished gram-'
mar school and some of them
went to high school, because of
the size of the family they went
to work as soon as they could.

'i—Convi»«ed tliat he has
found a some im
portance’* in the alibi of
Henry Stevens, the latest mem
ber of the family of Mrs.
Frances Stevens Hall to be
questioned in connection with
the Hall-Mills murder mystery,
Special Prosecutor Alexander
Simpson today planned to
question him further, in an ef
fort to ascertain the truth or
falsity of his story.
. His Alibi Is Upheld
Stevens’ alibi that he was fish
ing near his home at Lavalette,
N. J., the night of the murders,
has been substantiated by 23
witnesses. Lavalette is 50 miles
away from New Brunswick, where
the Bev. Edward W. Hall and Ms
choir singer sweetheart, Mrs.
Eleanor Mills, were shot to death
on the night of September 14,
1922.
Suspects Friends Are Wrong
Simpson would not reveal the na
ture of the alleged discrepancy he
claims to have found in the alibi,
but he did not hesitate to say that
he attached significance to it.
The prosecutor has indicated his
belief that Stevens’ friends, who
are ready to swear he was far away
from the murder spot on the night
in question, might have been mis
taken as to the exact date.
Stevens has stuck to his alibi of
four years ago, and citea an entry
in his diary as proof that he was
fishing on the night of the mur
ders.
He countered the assertion of in
vestigators that his automobile had
been run 150 miles on that night by
declaring that the car had never
been equipped with a speedometer.
When Was Diary Written*
When was the diary of Henry
Stevens made up? Senator Simp
son and other investigators seek
information on this point. Stevens'
also will be asked to turn ovenr
investigators of the State the dlaK
which he says confims his etate-\
ment and those of others concern
