LLOYD GEORGE WILL
K TOMORROW
English Wonder If He Will
Put Up Ticket Against
Conservatives
LABOR HEDGING ON
LEVY ON CAPITAL
Proposition Not Well Received by Rad
ical Elements Some Attempt to
Rlame Theorists for Making Such Pro
posal One Ileal Toiler Favors It.
LONDON. Nov. 3 ( Associated Press).
The report that Lloyd George is re
covering so well from his cold ami
throat trouble that he will be able to
lill his engagement to address a meeting
iu London tomorrow morning shares the
chief interest of the voters of England
today with tie prospect of labor in the
coning elections.
The time limit for making nominu
timis i'ur parliament expires tomorrow,
so there is a keen curiosity over what
Lloyd George is going to do about Lis
threat t. spread the war against the
Conservatives. There is a hint that he
might be willing to weld his National
Liberals to the Free Liberals headed by
former Premier Asquith. but the propor
tion of the electorate which takes this
report seriously is not large.
In order to patch up some of its
broken-down fences, labor scorns to be
hedging bit from its lirst booming cry
tor a heavy levy on capital. The Times
says that this plank in the platform i---not
tallying satisfactory support in the
constituencies and that even in Glas
gow. a stronghold of extreme Socialism.
I he labor speakers have been instructed
to make it clear tl at the levy is ' only
a suggest ion, not a definite proposal."
One of the two constant contentions
of the opponents of the labor party is
that the latter has taken its policy not
from bonafide workers but from theor
ists and doctrinaries. "many of whom
have never done a day's work for their
keep." And it is the view of these anti
labor elements that the capital levy is
a pet' theory of the doctrinaries which
does not appeal to the genuine workers.
On tin other baud, sue!) unjuestiij'ied
toilers as John Robert; dynes, chairman
of the Parliamentary Labor party, and
Albert Thomas, director general of th
international Jabot 01 gifnimiti'jii. sn-onsdy
m-go 'the just ice' and "practicability of
i he proiKmnl capital levy.
Writing to the Times, Mr. Clynes re
calls that i'rime Minister I'onur Law
favored such a levy when lu was chan
cellor of the exchequer during the war.
The lalvor leader says, however, that his
own party is not wedd d to the levy I
likely to cause labor to lose many votes.
.He intimates that labor is willing to
i unsider alternative pioposals tor reduc
ing the debts.

Preparing j Evidence for

MRS. HALL'S STORY
GOING IN DIRECT
She Is Not Included in Party Called far
Questioning Today Keport That An
other Eye Witness Is Found Mott
Will Not Verify It.
NEW my'NSYVJCK, N. J.. Nov. :5.
All persons connected with the Hall
Mills murder case, with the exception of
the slain rector's widow. Mrs. Frances
Stevens Hall, were summoned to the
court house today by Special Deputy
Attorney General Mott for a (becking, it
was reported, of evidence to be submitted
to the grand jury.
The investigators, it was learned, in
tended to 'interrogate these persons in
the order in which they appeared in the
case, beginning with the tw'o New Bruns
wick policemen who discovered the bodies
of liev. Edward W. Hall and Mrs.
Eleanor It. Mills under the crab ripple
tree on the Phillips farm.
The statements made, by Mrs. Hall
Wednesday when she answered a long
questionnaire propounded by the news
papermen, probably wiil be taken as her
story for the grand jury, it was said, and
it was for this reason that she was not
called today.
James Mil's. husband of the slain
choir singer, visited the scene of Ike
crime for the first time last night. lie
declared then that he thought the author
ities had made a' mistake in their fail
ure to arrest a!i members of both fam
ilies immediately.
"They might have learned something
then." lie said. "Hut it's too late now."
lie added that he leiievcd the eye witness
story told by Mrs. Jane Gibson, the
farmer woman of Hamilton road.
Deputy Attorney General Wilbur A.
Mott ha discovered another woman
"eye witness" of th murder, according
to reports here today.
Ib'r identify is said to be known only
to Mr. Mott 1;nd Detective James F.
Ma-Miii. chief investigator. Neither
would say whether the woman actually
sawthe committing cf the crime or
merely aw the principals on the Phiiiips
f.itm on the night of the murder.
Working trout a secret headquarters
Mr. Mott is credited with having about
completed the case. It is said lie plans
to liegin presenting the case to the grand
jury tomorrow, and that any further de
lay would be only for the purpose of
strengthening his case- for trial.
