LONDON, Oct. 6; (By the Associut

ly the almost simultaneous receipt of un
Angora dispatch quoting Mustapha Ke

revolution the Moslem subjects are in
great danger. " .
Ismet l'ashu 's bombshell was followed
by another when the French delegates
announced they were instructed to sup

a. definite split, with the Turks and
French opposed to . the British and

No Rain Has Fallen For Weeks Forest Fires In Minnesota

The weather bureau announced
that with a marked change in
pressure distribution that has taken
plare during . the last 24 hours the
indications are that showers will
olrur in the whole south within the
next . 36 hours to 48 hours in the
states east of the Mississippi river.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 6. The
i first break in the Ions drought which
has tripped the greater part of the
country for the last four to five
weeks, was seen today in the weather
bureau forecast wnich .announced
that showers would occur tonight in
many states of the South followed
by others on Saturday or Saturday
night.
At least some temporary relief
was in sight for the whole South in
the next 24 hours, the bureau pre
dicting showers in Georgia, Florida,
Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee,
and Kentucky tonight and Satur
day. -Showers also were forecast to
morrow ot tomorrow night in Vir
ginia, North and South Carolina.
WASHINGTON, Oct. (j. With an

plain, simply is showing u sluggishness
and a lack of movement which is barrina
the insweep of moisture bearing air over
the country.
Despte the extent and intensity of the
drought, howpver, the damage to crops
has" been exceedingly small, agricultur
ists declare, because of the harvest gen
erally being practically over. The most
serious effect has been the retarding of
winter wheat sowing. Rural communi
ties in wide areas also have suffered from
the drying up of streams, wells aud res
ervoirs.
The menace of forest fires, already
causing huge damage, ami threatening
additional loss of life in Canada, in addi
tion to areas, aggregating about 100
square miles, now- burning in northern
Minnesota, is by far the' most feared con
sequence of the drought. It has caused
officials Of the forest service of the De
partment of Agriculture to repeat warn
ings against lighting fires in the woods.
This is the time- of year, it is declared,
when the "second forest fire" period
can b expected, "and with a continu
ance of thd dry weather tha spread of

FURTHER EVIDENCE IN
HALL MURDER MYSTERY
Will Re -examine Other Wit
nesses Believe That Some
Other Person Got Letter On
Fateful night.
NEW BRUNSWICK, X. J., Oct. C
Possession of new facts bearing ou the
killing of the Rev. Edward Wheeler
Hall, rector of the Episcopal Church, of
St. John the Evangelist, and his choir
lea.ler, Mrs. Eleanor Keiuluirdt Mills, on
the night of September 14, led investi
gators today to order the re-examination
of many persons previously interviewed.
Despite the note of confidence with
whii-li the inquiry got under way today,
those iu charge of it were reluctant to
make predictions concerning possible, ar
rests. Thev exnrpsMPil the U'lii'f that
'the inquiry was now proceediue satisfac-
torily and there was every likelihood of
the mystery being cleared.
Apparently much significance was at
tached to the discovery of two letters
written by Dr. Hall to Mrs. Mills. These
letters were signed with the initials
"D T L," an abbreviation of the Ger
man sentiment "Deine True Tiebe,"
meaning "Your True Love." It also
discovered that Mrs. Mills was buried
wearing a pair of silk stockings wnich
the minister gave her.
Detectives are now convinced a letter
from Mrs. Mills intended for the rector
reached some other hands and that the
couple were watched on Thursday night
when they met in the park lane uear the
spot where their bodies were found.
They attached much importance also to
the fact, as indicated by the autopsy,
that the shots were fired by some one
thoroughly familiar with firearms and
who was an excelleut shot. v ,

NEW YOKK, Oct.' 6. (By The

They railed at the umpires, until tho
umpires found cover, then, because there
was no one else left on whom, to vent
their feelings, they turned to ' Commis
sioner Landis, the boss of all major
league buscball, nud they, said to him
many things. Commissioner Landis did
not have anything to do with calling the
game, but he made a nice target for
their bombardment of criticism. Hav

And so the third game, with the
Giants "at home," ngain is on today.
McGraw's men still have the edge, hav
ing won the rst game, and. today they
will play behind Ditcher "Deacon"
John Scott, who displayed quite some
curving ability during the season. Mil
ler Huggins has selected Waite Hoyt,
I the youth who caused the Giants no end
of worry in tho 1921 series, in an ef
rort to even things. Hyan aud Mc
Quillan aro in shape and ready to assist
Scott, should the Y'ank batters take too
kindly to his delivery. Carl Mays, with
his subway style, warmed up yester
day when it looked as if Shawkey might
not go so well, and he is alloted the
same job today.
Casey Stengel, the Giant regular cen-
terelder, probably will be reulaeed to -
day by the youthful Cunningham. Sten- . Faries is still in the state penietutiary,

game when Meusel 'a homer gave him
three runs, but Jess had to be good
in those ten innings to keep the Yanks
down. They got back one of the three
runs in their half of the first when
Bancroft, after making a good stop on
Dugan's rap, heaved over Kelly's head.
Dgan went to second on the niisplay,
took third on Ruth's infield but and
scored on Pipp's twister to Kelly, which
went for a hit
The Yanks' second rhu came in the I
fodrth when Ward lifted the ball over
the bleacher signboards for a round trip.
Doubles by Ruth and Bob Meusel ae
rounted for tho tying? run in the eighth.
Shawkey's work after the first iuning
also was good. He was still a bit
wobbly in the sesond and third, but pull
ed through, and for the remaining srven
innings allowed but three hits, one of
them being BranrroftY single to renter
in the tenth.
The newest ronloction of doie has it
that the Yanks, despite the one game
lost, have an equal chance with tho
Giants to win the series. Tho argu
ment for this is that the Giants have
used two of their best pityhers and
have won one game. This leaves the
anks with two pitchers rated among
the top notchers, Hoyt and Mays, while
McQuillan, Scott and Ryan, tjio re

of being one of the ablest and mst suc

lina and is connected with virtually every
murder case tried here.
That tho battle between the legal tal
ent when tho ease is tried here at the

fact that d. K. Henry, of Chester the
veteran solicitor of the sixth circuit, will

two of the victims, were members. Mr.
Carpenter and .1. M. Taylor, father of

from Clover to Gastonia, were in York
a few days ago in the interest of the

A true bill was found by the York

When, the case was culled for trial
Thomas F. McDow moved for a cntinu
ance to the November term of court on
the ground that he liad not had time to
prepare the defense. He pointed out
that it was then only six days after the.
killing and that ho hud not had an op
portunity to confer with his client since

Poincare.
LONDON, Oct. 6. - (By The
Associated Press.) The Muda
nia conference is not ended, it
was officially stated at the con
clusion of the British cabinet meet
ing this morning, but it is dead
locked1 and cannot be resumed be
fore the British and French gov
ernment have conferred over , the
situation.
Lord Curzon, the British For
eign Secretary, will leave inundi
ately for Paris to tee Premier
Poincare. . .
It was also officially stated, in
rough outline, that from the British
point of view the Turks are de
manding more than was offered in
the Allied note, and on the other
hand that they were not accepting
the conditions of that note. : It
was asserted that the Turks want to
obtain the concessions of the , note
without the conditions. s
The officials decline to give in
detail what the. Turks were demand
ing. .The British Cabinet today debat
ed the situation in its entirety but
the main point appeared to be the
question of Thrace. It ia under
stood the British view is that there
should be some consideration given
the Greek minority population there
and what might happen, to it if the
Turks were permitted to enter.-
. There seems to be no diffculty
over the question of the Chanak area
which the British have been occupy
ing. 1
On broad lines the British pol cy,
it was stated, is the same as it hat
been since the Greek debacle, which
means that the British are opposed
to the Turks cross ng the straits) be
fore the . peace conference. . i
It is considered possible several
days may elapse before it cant be
determined whether the divergencies
between the British and the Turks
can be reconciled so they can niter
the peace conference. '
The French and the Ital ana, it
was declared, have not the same
positive views with regard f to
Thrace as have the British, and it
was stated that until the various
viewpo nts could be- brought closer
together the British could not reply
regarding the peace conference.
The Greek attitude in Thrace
continues to be an important faxtor.
The' Greeks are threatening to. arm
' themselves to fight for Thrace . and
the Britsh have this threat to use
as a possible argument against' the
Turkish attitude.
Things were going well at , the '
Mudania conference, it was : ex
plained until yesterday when Lsmet
Pasha declined to recede hisf de- .
mand regaring Thrace.
It was stated in official c-rcles
that the visits of ex-Premier D'eni
zelos, of Greece, had not chamged
the views of the British cabinet and
that Venizelos realized it wast in
evitable that the Greeks must evacu
ate eastern Thrace. .
