(By the Associated Press.) Constantinople, Nov. 3 The Angora Assembly last night decided unanimously that it is Invested with sovereign rights and that the Turkish Nationalist Government is the keystone of the Caliphate, and today the newspapers carry these headlines: Four girls are dead, three others arc reported dying In Bellevuc and St. Vincent's hospitals, and over a dozen seriously injured in a fire which broke out shortly after 1 p. m. today in the three-stroy factory at 16 E.

(Staff Correspondent of The New Brunswick, N. Nov. 3 There are missing links, It develops, in the statement of sonio of the persons who have so far been examined in tho Hall-Mills murder Inquiry, and for this reason, these witnesses will probably be questioned again. This re-questloning may start today, and include all tho witnesses except Mrs. Hall, who told her story fully to the newspapermen on Wednesday.

The statement of Mrs. Hall In her interview has given the prosecutor some new information which he intends to follow up. This also it Is believed has Influenced the authorities in determining to examine again persons whose stories have already been taken. The two policemen, Edward Garrl-gan and James Curran, who were summoned to the scene of the murder after the bodies were found. re questioned late yesterday afternoon.

James Mills, husband of th murdered choir singer, was taken to tli.i scene of the crime by newspaper men last night and there he viewed with curious eyes the spot, which he waa seeing for the first time. Mills gave a long Interview while be was there; In which be cxpr-ased the belief that the murder could not have been committed by stranger. "The person who killed my wife and the Rev. Hall," he suggested, "evidently wanted their bodies to be found and Identified Immediately. Otherwise I think they would have been thrown into the locust thicket over there." There is a dense thicket of locust bushes not ninny yards from the spot where the bodies were found.

Believes Mrs. Gibson. Mills said that the story told by Mrs. Jane Gibson, the farm woman, seemed to him to bear the earmarks of truth, and that lie believed I he case would eventually be cleared up. "Somehow or other.

It will all come out. and I want It to come out," he said. Mills expressed some wonder Mrs. Hall had not offered a reward, and said that he would have clone so had he been financially able to do so. As he looked about him curiously, he remarked, "how did they ever get out.

to this place?" thinking of the dead "I know that my wife never would have! come hern alone, because she was afraid of the dark. I don't even understand how she would have conic with a man. I don't, see how he could have done it, but I know my wife was good." A relative of the Hall family, in describing the visit of MJUs to the Hall home on the Saturday afternoon fol lowing the murder, which was the day the bodies were discovered, said: Tells of Mills' Visit, "Mrs. Hall was on the stoop, preparing tho funeral notice for the newspapers, and she was so upset that she did not know what to do. Mills came up the driveway, shivering like a leaf.

We bad to give him some aromatic, spirits of ammonia. But the reports that he swooned are not correct, although he evidently was much upset. Mrs. Hall, seeing him come, gathered herself together, rose, and went to receive him. "Those who say that Mrs.

Hall is a cold-blooded woman do her grave Injustice. She Is anything but that, but. she doesn't allow strangers to witness her grief." It was evident today that much work still remains to be done by the prosecutor before the case Is closed, and that it may be days before any definite action can be looked for. Not Satisfied with Story. From n.

source in constant and close touch with the progress of the work being done to unravel the murder mys tery it was learned today 'hat in some respects Halls statement to ine newspapermen fails to com lure certain of the authorities in the light of information ill their posfesslon. Ii is said that when Mrs. Hull telephoned to her sisters after her husband nee she used nil outside tele, phone instead of tlie telephone in her home. it is also pointed out that when she Inquired from the police she failed to mention her name.

RULES CARNEGIE HOME IS NOT SUBJECT TO INHERITANCE TAX The estate of Andrew Carnegie will be saved Inheritance tax upon the value of the Carnegie homestead, at 5th ave. and 91st as the result of an Appellate Division decision, rendered unanimously today.

The estate and the State Tax Commission appealed from the decision of Surrogate James A. Foley as to the appraisal for tax purposes, made by the State. Surrogate Foley decided that $4.500,000 the a mound of a fund set aside by the ironmaster during his life, for the payment of pensions to friends and others no longer able to care for themselves should not be taxed. As to that decision the State Tax Commission appealed. The Surrogate also decided that transfer tax should be paid upon the Carnegie homestead.

The Home Trust Company as executor of the estate of Andrew Carnegie appealed on that score, contending that Mrs. Carnegie and her husband were "tenants by the entirety" during his life, as to the property in question, and that accordingly Mrs. Carnegie did not "inherit the premises" from her deceased husband. This claim was established by the production of deeds drawn in 1898 and 1 899 wherein 2 to 20 and 22 and 24 E. 91st Bt.

were transferred to Andrew Carnegie and Louise Whitfield Carnegie jointly. ROBBERS CUT OUT WINDOW, STEAL $1,000 FUR COAT Robbers of the most daring stripe removed a section of a plate glass window from the Fulton st. front of Frederick Loeser which Is one of the busiest centers, day and night, in the boro, and got away with a fur coat, valued at more than $1,000 Wednesday night without being seen. The police did not allow this to become public yesterday, but acknowledged it today after Walter Hani mitt, vice president of the company, had confirmed the report. Nothing else was taken from the window.

The robberB evidently used a diamond glass cutter to make an opening in the heavy window. HERE AND NOW G. 0. P. BY 50,000 Wet or Dry Issue Puts All Others in Background.

Runyon Leads Freling hiiysen. By HENRY SUYDAM. (ftaff Correspondence of The Englc.) Trenton. N. .1., Nov.

3 There, is just one Issue in Now Jersey this year, and that is Prohibition. In other' States this question ruts horizontally across party lines and produces quaint political contradictions, hut in New Jersey it is Senator Joseph S. KrelinKhuysen, Republican and dry. against Governor Edward I. F.dwnrds, Democrat and wet.

The contest the United Statc3 Senatorship is essentially a referendum on Prohibition. State Chairman Stokes on officially claiming a itepubltcan plurality ot' 60,000. hut more conservative private tstimates claim no more than 44.000. The Democrats expect the heads of their ticket to win by about 45.000. The outcome of the contest appears to depend upon whether the remainder of the State can overcome the expected Democratic plurality of 65,000 or more in Hudson County, which includes suc.i dripping' towns as Hoboken, Jersey City and Bayonne.

The New Jersey campaign has been, in the first place, an expensive, one. arge sums of money have been spent on both sides in legitimate appeals to the electorate. It has, furthermore, been a rough campaign. Very rough, in fact. Senator Frelinghuysen hlm-Belf has behaved well.

but. Governor Edwards has been running about drawing attention to his opponent's florid complexion and otherwise slinging pieces of wet turf. You can best describe Kdwards by saying thai J.Iayor Hylan. in comparison, has the exquisite manners and diction of a Chesterfield. Kdwards Has Popular Side.

It is admitted that Kdwards has what is probably the popular side of tne prohibition argument. There are thousands of persons who will express their resentment at prohibition by voting for him. but this need not mean endorsement of either his personality. Jils methods, or his party. Although the Republican managers are claiming 20,000 plurality in Bergen County, for example, there is a large commuter population in that district, which is pretty wet.

In New Jersey, as elsewhere, this strange remote issue will ignore party lines. The vote against Frelinghuysen will not be. a repartition of his position on great national questions, but a vote against the restrictive irritations of prohibition. And this in spite of the fact that even if: Governor Kdwards is sent to the Senate, he will probably have no chance to do anything about it. The Frelinghuysen campaign lias been, if anything, rather too dignified for such a rough-and-tumble bout as Kdwards has made this particular election.

Mr. Freylinghuysen has tp'ked about the Fordney-McCuniber iTiff. his opposition to the bonus and 1 is ardent support of the shipping bill. He lias assumed an irreconcilable attitude oh American Participation in foreign affairs. But when Mr.

KrelinKhuysen is talking about tariff com-JVirsions and Geneva, Edwards is houtlng for beer. As in other Stales where a doubtful issue exists, the Republican National Committee has rushed in some impressive outsiders to lend further dignity and conviction. Charles Evans Hughes, Secretary of War Weeks, Senator Willis of Ohio and, of course, Senator Walter Edge of New Jersey have all climbed the stump for Frelinghuysen. Edwards' come-back is to say that 'he is a plain rough fellow with no hlgh-falutin' friends to help Jiim. He does the job himself: Democrats Center Efforts on Edwards.

It is conceded that William N. Runyon, Republican candidate for Governor, will run far ahead of Mr. Frelinghuysen. The Democratic effort is all heing concentrated on Edwards, rather to the disadvantage of George 8. Siliser.

running for Governor, The- Republican organization, as has been pointed out, concedes Hudson County, second largest in the State, to Edwards and Sllzer by 65,000. The Republicans believe, on the other hand, that their plurality in other parts of the State will offset this, although they are only claiming 15,000 in Ksbcx, which is the largest county and Includes Newark, the Oranges and other important suburban County, Nenator Edge home district; is expected to vote wet. Another important factor is whether Democratic women, a large percentage of whom are naturally dry, will stick to Edwards. The situation in Bergen County, which is the home of thousands of New York commuters, is exceptionally interesting. Bergen is normally a rock-ribbed Republican area, being claimed by 20,000 this year.

Yet Governor Edwards, finishing his Statewide tour in Bergen one night this week, was greeted with tremendous enthusiasm, to the point where previous political calculations have already been much shaken. Some Republicans very much doubt whether vhe importation of outside speakers in Frellnghuysen's behalf Tins not. done him more harm than good. Secretary Hughes' speech this week at West Hoboktin, in which he pointel out that Prohibtlon was a false issue, ridiculous in its very-nature, is said to have offended many voters who resent such obvious instruction upon a point already well understood. And furthermore, Secretary Hughes, in his speech, going over much of the ground he had already covered at Boston, did not mention the League of Nations by name, but argued that "wo have given the best of our co-operation to Europe." Frcllngliiiysen Criticised.

Almost at the same moment as Secretary Hughes was pointing out how much this country had been doing abroad, and as President Harding was Indicating at Washington that negotiations for entrance into the World Court at The Hague were already under way. Senator Frelinghuysen whs denouncing the League and arguing for a policy of isolation. Jeisey papers, by no means hostile, have been criticising him for this apparent inconsistency. Edwards has made his CHmpnrsrr. a rip-snorting affair, full of sound and fury.

Frelinghuysen has been impeccable. More than the wet-aiul-dry referendum in Ohio, more than the ambiguous wet-and-dry issues in other States, the outcome of this election in New Jersey will be watched by the country with very great interest, for Edwards is Hiking Ills stand on the Prohibition issue alone, and whether with reason or not, his success or failure will be interpreted as a fair test of public sentiment on this Vague but somehow very uctual dispute.

Operators Forced to Pay for Lines McColIum Says Riedl Lies. John A. McColIum, chief of the Bu reau of Franchises, today character ized as "a contemptible and malicious nar- wiinout imagination Louis fliedl who claims that ho was "blackjacked' out of his bus line after he refused to contribute $25,000 to the "Big Chief. One witness declared that hug driv. ers complained they had to pay from $200 to $500 to get a bus line.

Another surprise was the charge that Commissioner AVhalen forced bus insurance before the law requiring such insurance was effective. Mr. McColIum appeared at the hearing of the Transit Commission tlgatlng the city's bus lines, under subpena, while Louis Karsch, one of tne silent partners In Ferdinand V. Frankenbere's West Varim.i 'It i- ii. I land bus line was testifying.

Mr. Karsch testified that he had not received one penny of the profits of the West Farms bus line. Mr. Karsch together with Mr. Frankenberg and Christian BorSohard, comprise the West Farms Bus Corporation.

Frankenberg at first denied and Inter admitted that he had paid over two-thirds of his profits to under-Sheriff Thomas H. O'Nell of the Bronx, who, he said, obtained his franchise for him from Commissioner of Plant and Structures Grovcr A. Whalen. Epithets Exchanged. Mr.

filed testified before the C'om-misison that after he had refused to pay the $25,000 demanded, Commissioner Whalen issued an order which resulted In the confiscation of his bus line. Following Mr. ftiedl's testimony, Mr. Whalen dubbed him a "liar and a perjurer" on the witness stand. Yesterday Mr.

Riedl replied by charac terizing Commissioner Whalen a "liar and a hypocrite, and asserted that he was prepared to prove every statement he had made. Today Mr. McColIum calls Mr. Riedl a "malicious and contemptible liar" and offers in proof of this the detailed summary or the entire transaction as it relates to the office of the Bureau of Franchises. Mayor Hylan, in a.

statement. Issl night, said he was "glad to see" that Commissioner Whalen had told the Shearn and the traction triplets he thought of them." Then he added that he thought Whalen might "even have pulled somebody's nose in return for the slanders and aspersions cast by them in a low. filthy attempt to discredit him and the city bus operation." Next followed a' liberal use of all the first degree assault words In the English vocabulary, Including slander, traction-controlled, traction-masters, vilify, traction-rlng-newspapers, terrorize, junk, etc. Incidentally he charged that Shearn had be en hired to "accomplish a political end" and that he "had a twin in Abraham Gilbert," who Is Investigating alleged fraudulent registration in the Greater City. This, he declared, was being done to "terrorize voters." Karsch said he was a silk salesman rtlth an office at.

Karscli's Testimony, Mr. Redington asked Karsch If he knew the late Arthur Murphy, Democratic leader of Rronx County, and the witness said he knew Mr. Murphy, but not intimately, having only a bowing acquaintance and a "howdy-do" association with him.

The witness said he was not a member of Arthur Murphy's political club in the Bronx, but visited It occasionally to play tho piano. He said lie had lived In the Bronx for foir years before moving to Mount Vernon. Mr. Redington asked tho witness If he had ever been asked by Murphy to sign a paper. The witness replied: "Yes; it was some stock transaction paper.

I was under the impression that. Murphy wished to purchase some stock and my idea was that it. was for a garage. It was about a year ago or something like that. I am not sure about the date." "What did he fell you when he.

asked you to sign the 'asked Mr. Redington. "He said he did not want his name to appear, and as I knew he was a big man in the Bronx I signed the paper." "Did he tell you why he wished you to sign the paper?" "He gave me the impression," replied the witness, "that, he did not want anybody implicated who lived In the neighborhood." Karsch said he could not remember where tho conversation took place or whether he and Murphy were alone at the time. "Did you read the paper before you signed it?" asked Mr. Redington.

"I am sorry to say I didn't." The witness said he had the highest regard for Murphy, but said he old not sign before a notary, and added that the Incident had entirely slipped his mind, and he had given it no thought until two days ago. Quizzed About Bus Firm. "Had you ever heard of tho West Farms Bus Corporation?" "Not until a friend of mine called my attention to it in a newspaper two days ago." "Did you know they had an office at West Farms? Were you ever In that office?" "Never." "Did you know Mr. Frankenberg?" "I never saw Mr. Frankenberg until yesterday about 1 o'clock, when he came to my office after he nr some one else had telephoned that he would call upon me." "What did he sny to you?" "He began to talk, but I told him there was no in his talking, that my name had been used wrongly aiid I whs going to set It right.

I told him that I fe't honored at being selected tweretary of his bus corporation, but 1 was going to testify regarding it." "How did you learn you were the secretary?" "From newspaper articles."

Aov. Thp decision of the Assembly was announced by a salute of 101 guns Imm', lately the soldiers and civilians began to celebrate the occasion to the blare of military bands and bright flares of torch hearers. Two Resolutions Adopted. Two resolutions were unanimously adopted by the Assembly. The first said that by virtue of organic statute and representation, sovereign rights had been vested in an inalienable and indivisible manner in the moral person of the Angora Assembly, which was the only emanation of the nation.

The second resolution declared the Caliphate was vested In the imperial family of the Osman dynasty, but that the Turkish Government remains the. keystone of the Caliphate. The selection of tho Caliphs is to be made by the Grand National Assembly of Turkey, which will choose that member of the Imperial family, the resolution provides, who is tlie best Instri.cted, the best educated, tho most honest and the wisest. After these resolutions had been unanimously acepted amidst, applause Premier Reouf Bey ascended the tribune and proposed the proclamation ol a national holiday on the anniversary of the reaching of this decision. Decision of the Assembly.

The decision of the Angora Assembly was made known in the following terms: "The Palace of the Sublime Porte, having through corrupt ignorance, for several centuries provoked numerous Ills for the country, has passed into the domain of history. Recently the Turkiah nation, the real mistress ot its destinies, the founder of the Ottoman Empire, revolted against its foreign enemies In Anatolia a undertook a struggle against the Palace of the Sublime Porte, which took, sides with the enemies and against the nation, and to that end it constituted the Grand National Assembly of Turkey its government, and Its arniv threw Itself into the struggle against the ene. mies from without and against the Palace of the Sublime Porte. "Today the era of liberation has at last' been entered into. The Turkish nation, In view of the treason In the Palace of the Sublime Porte, has proclaimed its own organic statute.

"Article I of this statute stipulate that the sovereignty of the Sultan is assumed by the nation. "By Article II executive and legislative powers are conferred upon the nation. "Article VII invests the body of the nation with sovereign rights, such as the right to declare war and conclude peace. (Thesi were formerly prerogatives of tho Sultan.) "Since then the former ottoman Empire has collapsed, and in Its place the New National Turkish State is called into being. Ottoman Empire Non-Ks Intent.

"Likewise, since the abolition of the Sultanate, the Grand Nutlonal Assembly of Turkey has taken Its place that is to say, the government of Constantinople, its existence being no longer supported by any national force, has ceased to exist, and no longer com.ti-tues a vital organism. The true mass of the people of the nation have instituted an Administrative Government of the people defending the rights of the true mass of the people and the peasants, guaranteeing their welfare." The statement adds: "The Constantinople Government, having made common cause with the enemy, astounds us by speaking of the rights of the Sultan and dynastic rights. Tlie dispatch from Tewfik Pasha (the Grand Vizier of the Constantinople Government) is a fantastic, feeble document, such as Is rarely met with in history." The Assembly then proclaimed the two resolutions dealing with the vesting of the nation's sovereign rights and the Caliphate. All Treatiex and Contracts Nullified. Angora, Nov.

3 The Turkish Gov ernment at Angora has announced that it considers null and void all treaties and conventions concluded since March 1 6, 1920, by the Constantinople administration. Paris, Nov. 3 The Angora Government, in a letter presented to Premier Polncnre by Ferid Bey, Turkish Nationalist lepresentatlve here, has notified France that the Nationalist Gov, ernment does not recognize any acts, contracts, agreements, or treaties undertaken by the Constantinople Government since March 16, 1920. Therefore, it is set forth, the negotiations of the Constantinople Government with various financial establish ments for loans do not obligate the Angora Government in any way.

It lasted from until o'clock and Director Johnson was present and listened to student after student rise, and recite his grievances. At the conclusion of the meeting the director promised to remedy the living conditions and asked the boys "to keep calm." This response was evidently not satisfactory, for Michael J. Doyle, speaking for the strikers, made this reply: "Mr. Johnson, please understand thin -the boys are unanimous in their derision to remain on strike or In sympathy with the strike as long as you are director of the institute. You cannot break the strike by temporizing along lines of discipline, and the voluntary return of tlie students to their classes rests with whether you stay or go.
