Probability Is That

Taken in Hearing.
With Indications that hearings
will be adjourned this morning
for a recess of at least one week,
due to the fact that a number of
those to present testimony have
not completed their cases, an in
vestigation of all class rates In
Southern territory by the inter
state Commerce Commission, at
the Battery Park Hotel, yester
day morning.
A. J. Maxwell and W. T. Lee.
members of the State. Corporation
Commission, accompanied by W.
G. Womble, rate expert; Edgar
Womble and R. H. Poole, clerks,
and Miss Frances Abernathy,
stenographer, arrived early yester
day morning, prepared to present
convlefr-testimony jn behalf of
North Carolina, and will probably
remain in Ashevllle during the re
cess.
E. E. Clark, Washington at
torney and for 15 years a member
Ql the Interstate Commerce Com
mission and for several years
chairman, who will represent the
Corporation Commission, is ex
pected to arrive within the next
few days and will probably be
present When the hearing recon
venes. It is expected mat iuny
two days will be required to pres
ent the testimony of the Corpora
tion Commission.
In the absence of Joseph East
man, member of the lntertate
Commerce Commisslpn, who ar
rived later In the day, Alexander
Forward, of the Virginia Corpora
tion Commission, presided at the
opening session, which was marked
by the absence of any formal pro
ceedings.
Request Mado for Separate
Hearing for State
Commissioner Forward heard
the request of M. R. Beaman, sec
retary of the North Carolina Traf
fic Association and S. 8. Griffin,
attorney for the association, ask
ing that North Carolina be exclud
ed from the present hearings and
considered as a separate case by
virtue of the fact that the rates
in North Carolina should be In
relationship to those of Virginia
cities. C. J. Rixey, representing
the carriers as attorney, cross ex
amined and said the request shall
not be considered. However, it Is
stated. It will be placed In the
records and acted upon by the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
In this connection It is recalled
that the order of the Interstate
Commerce Comimaslon, calling for
the investigation, carried a provi
sion that rates to North Carolina
cities would be revised with rela
tion to Virginia cities.
The territory affected by the In
vestigation la all Southern terri

Commtelon centers In the effort to
have rates to North Carolina cities
made with relation to the level of
rates applying over trunk lines 10

higher level applying generally
over Southern lines.
This State, according to experts,
U now having only to a slight ex
tent any benefit from the trunk
line rates to Virginia cities and
should the investigation result In a
iHotnrv for the carriers, even this
advantage would be lost with
North Carolina having rates on the
higher levels prevailing over strict
ly Southeastern railway lines and
routes. . -
While the amount Involved in

known that it will run into oun

Until Mark Stabilized.
NEW YORK. Oct. 4. The
American Hankers' Association, in
convention here went on record to
day by a vote of approximately
thrae to one as being opposed to
branch hanking or the establish
ment of branch offices by both
slate and national banks In any
form.
After the passage of a resolu
tion expressing' Its opposition,
steps were taken by bankers from
Missouri, Illinois. Wisconsin, New
Jersey and Connecticut to form an
association of national and state
banks and tius; companies oppos
ed to branch banking to undertake
a oamnaign for the passage of a
Federal statute prohibiting nation
al hanks from having branches or
more than one office in any state.
Murray McLeod, vice-president of
the Irvine Pn rk NiL.'innfll Bank.
Chicago, was elected chairman olfi
the organization. A committee
composed of three delegates from
each of the 48 state bankers' as
sociations will meet in Chicago
soon, it was announced, to plan a
national campaign.
letters from Preside n; Harding
and Secretary of the Treasury
Mellon were read by President
McAdams. In his letter to the
bankers, Secretary Mellon wrote
that a foundation for an, early
and healUiful revival of business
had becfn established through the
response of the bankers to the
treasury offerings of the short
term notes Issued during the past
18 months to retire Victory notes
and other early maturing obligations.
President Harding's message wa
a pica to the bankers that the
lead In recommitting our people
to sane expenditures, to ways of
economy and thrift to the consid
eration of municipal and national
problems in that conscience whtcn
builds the temper of -confidence."
In the election of officers John
, H. Puellcher, of Milwaukee, Wis.,
was chosen president; Walier W.
Head, of Omaha, Neb., first vice-
president, and William II. FuJ
second vice-president.
Thece8olutlon opposing the es
tablishment of branch 'banks, was
placed before the convention by
Samuel B. Jefferies. vioe-bresident
of the National City Bank of St.
Louis. Wallo Newcomer, presi
dent of the National Exchange
Bank of Baltfhiore, led the op
position. An attempt by the anti
branch forces later to have the
resolution adopted by the national
bank' division Tailed.
Frank A. Munsey addressed the
convention on the problems of the
hour, being carried on with small
attention to the interests of the
government or the people.
The fight of the two parties ever
the tariff, he said, was carried on
to the shame of the American peo
ple. It is wholly a business ques
tion he said, and should be treat
ed as such.

the Right Honorable Reginald

Authorities Are Groping
in Efforts to Learn ,
Slayer of Pair. V
NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J . Oct.
4. A mystery car with three oe.
cupants three men and a womaiv
was added -today to the 'conflict'
ing maze of clues among which
MildJesex and Somerset County
authorities are groping in their
effort to -.apprehend the slayer
of the Rev. Edward wneeier Jiau
and his choir leader, Mrs, JSleanoi
Relnhardt Mills.
A. E. Soner. retired business
man of Highland Park, came for
ward with the story of this car.
pearly three weeks ago, on the
night of the murders, Hoper told
the authorities, he passed a seaan
in TJerussv's Lane dose to the spot
where the bodies were found. He
turned his searchlight on the car,
he said, and observed that it con
tained two men and a woman. Al-J1
though he failed to recognize any
of the trio, he said, he observed
that the woman wore a light coat.
Mrs. Hall Is known tcMiave worn
a polo coat of light gray on that
night, when Recording to her story,
she left her home after midnight
to seek her missing husband In
his study at the Church of 8t.
John the Evangelist. Mrs. Hall has
told the Investigators she was ac
companied by her brother, Wil
11am Stevens.
Witnesses who saw her re-enter
her bom say she returned aione.
The Halls own a sedan car, which
the minister left in the garage
when he -went to what proved his
Hmrvh trvat.
Three more bits - of evidence
supporting the theory that the
minister and Mrs. Mills were on
the point of eloping to the Orient
when they were slain also came
to light today.
One was a letter believed to
have been written by Mrs. Mills
only a few hours before she met
her death. Authorities wlihheld
its contents.
Another evidence of the sup
posed elopement plan was contain
ed In a letter from W. C. Hlnhia,
a Hindu occullst or Miami, r la..
Hlnhia wrote that Mrs. Mills had
sent him a letter propounding
these three questions:
"Will the minister get a di
vorce?" - .
,;WI11 he go to a foreign coun
try?" ,
"If he gives up the other wo
man and goes to the Orient, shall
I go with him."'
He said he had answered he
could give her advice which would
"do good" If 'she would buy his
book on astrology, but that he had
heard no further from her. ,
The third information of the
elopement was conveyed to the au
thorities in a report of the re
mark a' woman member of the
church was said to have made at
Mr. Hall's funeral.
"Well, they are taking the min
ister out of the church." she was
reported to have said a the fun
eral services - were concluded.
;'They did not get off to Ja;ia
fter all."

LONDON, Oct. 4 (By The As

Venizelos called on Ambassador
Harvey and asked the ambassador
to send a message to Washington
requesting the United States to In
tercede with the Allies and request
them to occupy Thrace pending
the final disposition of that terri
tory.
The ambassador, '- his weekly
conference with Journalists said
!he former Greek premier told him
that he had sent to the Greek rev
olutionary government t.n ultima
tum centupling three points. The
three points were:
First, the Allies must occupy
Thrace.
Second, the revolutionary Greek
government mtfst recognize that
Eastern Thrace must eventually be
returned to Turkey.
Third. Greek troops must evacu
ate Thrace Immediately. .
Ambassador Harvey added that
former Premier Venlselos- stated,
that If these terms were accepted
he would represent Greece abroad
