" . Ismet l'ashu 's bombshell was followed by another when the French delegates announced they were instructed to sup port the Turkish demand.

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.

The air, they ex 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 Way to Levant fires from .Maine along tho Atlantic roast south, is feared. Whilo forest fires in the west ulso have caused foresters considerable trouble this year, showers (have eliminated most of the danirer there. A Hiiinmarv uv:iihibli frm ' .muiTii. Inuiit record's today of the five venr ie- riol from 1110 to 100 showed timber and property destruction of more than So,713,0U0. due to forest fires that burned over an area of 5(5,500,000 square miles, more than the urea of the state of Utah. Half the forest fires which occur in early spring and late summer and fall, ire preveutable, officials pointed out. Iu thnt period 9.8 per cent of the fires were caused by lightning. 14," per cent by sparks from locomotives, 6.2 per cent iu lumbering activities, i.i.7 per cent by brush burners, 12.7 per cent by campers and 12.5 by incendiaries. AVhilc the educational activities of the forest service are gradually resulting in fewer fires and less destruction, the de crease is as yet slight, it was said, and wilLi-oiitinue o until those cumping in or otherwise usin or beiii in the forests are more careful. 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 , BRITISH SAY THE TURKS ARE DEMANDING MORE THAN WAS -OFFERED IN THE ALLIED NOTE FANS SORE BECAUSE UMPIRES CALLED GAME WITH THE SUN SHINING Crowd , Hoots Umpires And Then Turns To Commission er Landis Receipts Of . Game Are Given Over To Charity. NEW YOKK, Oct.' 6. (By The Associated . 1'ress.) ' The Giants and Yankees, having attempted to appease thousands of fans who weren't a whit satisfied when the second game of tho world's series was called by the umpires in the tenth (lining with the seore tied J-3, by giving the entire day's receipts to disabled soldiers and eharity, return ed today to the business of settling the championship. . The umpires said it was too dark jto play when they , called the halt, but there were few fans who agreed with them about tho conditions of daylight. It may have been too dark; may bo Umpire Hildcbrand was fooled by Coogan's Bluffwhich plays queer tricks with its shadows sometimes. Anyway, there was quite a difference of opinion iu the matter, ' , Some three or four thousand of the fans eouldn 't forijet their dissatisfac tion.

' 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 ing talked themselves out, they wentl nome. .

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- .

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.

British And French Govern ments Must Confer Before Deadlock Is Broken. THRACE IS THE QUESTION. Lord Curzon Leaves For Paris To Confer With ; 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. .
