COMMERCE BOARD SCHEME TO DELAY TRANSIT SCENTED Hiring of Outside Expert Regarded as New Move Against Speed Lines LETTER STILL MYSTERY The now fajious letter sent by the Chamber of Commerce to Mayor Smith urg ing the selection of W. Barclay Farsonu, of New Tork city, as an expert "o partici pate. In the transit lease conference con tinues a mystery. The question which goes unanswered is whether tljls letter was de signed only to serve the Interests of a clique in that tody or whether It repre-' scnts the sentiment of that Important or ganisation as a whole. Friends of real and Immediate rapid transit fear that strong influences are at work for delay and that in getting an out sldo expert to come to the city at this time they hope so to becloud' the situation that no operating agreement between the city and the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Com pany can be worked out for months to come. A canvass of the members of the ex-' ecutlve committee of the Chamber of Com merce today faded to reveal that any reg ular meeting was called to authorize tho letter which was written by N. B. Kelly, general secretary of the body, and signed by Howard B. French, president. When asked pblntblank whether tho letter had been authorized either by the general body or by the executive committee, both Mr. French and Mr. Kelly refused to reply. DELAY ItUSE FEARED While 'the members of the executive com mittee could not tell of any meeting where such a letter had been authorized they called attention to a resolution adopted Borne months' ago urging that outside aid be sought In order to settle the controversy which was then being waged. At that time, however, the direct question of an operat ing agreement was not )ieforo the publto and the controversy was rather over con struction problems. It was at that time the name of Mr. Parsons was brought forward first by Alba Continued on rate Six, Column Two MRS.

A revolver was found clutched In the right hand of Mrs.'Beber by two of the first personsjto enter the death room on the rlnth floors ' after the shots wero fired. This, detectlveB said, scattered the theory ad vanced that tho revolver might have been used by any of the other principals In the shootlngr by a fourth person. POLICE THROUGH WITH CASE The revolver with which the shooting was done did not belong to Graveur, It was established this afternoon. His weapon is at hla homo In New York. The re volver wielded by tho slayer apparently was purchased In Now York or this city, the police believe. Detective Callahan, of the "murder squad," announced today that the police are through with the case. "It's up to the Coroner now," he said. 'Wo have completed a thorough Investiga tion. . Nobody is going to get me as a di vorce suit witness." The inquest will be a formal affair, it Is belioved. LE DUC REAFFIRMS FAITH Joseph C. Le Due, the wounded woman's husband, today said that he would obtain an affidavit from his wife's nephew to the effect that she did visit the nephew's home, in substantiation of her story that she was not the woman who registered with Graveur at the hotel.

No. one seems to know how the monks got In there. It has been learned definitely, however, that they didn't walk up to the desk and register and thenrlde to their exclusive sixth floor room In the elevator. But no pne connected with the hostelry denies that they were in the hotel. It would be useless. One of the bellboys heard a startUs poise. It sounded as though three or four persons wero strangling at. the same mo ment. This was followed by a number of thuds. Then came a series of crashes. Visions of a ghastly midnight crime came before the trembling bellhop. He groped his way to a house phone. 'Soroethln awful horrible's goln" up here In No, U." he gasped, "gIJ,tho cops quick." THE FIGHT JS ON The desk clerk summoned "Josh" Whit comb. He commandeered a couple of husky porters and two agll bellhop.

"Where did you get these monkeys?" some one asked. A smile of relief chased tho frown from the man's face. "And' so they're really monkeys!" he said. "Thank heaven." The simians showed vthelr teeth to the intruders and mobilized on top of a bureau after weeping off all annoying ornaments with their tails. The porters and bellhops, armed with brooms, were about to charge,' but two of the enemy sprang to the electroliers while two othera by a flank movement made far the top of the main bedpoets.

The police officials who were Involved In the July vlco probe should be brought to trial beforo the police board. Unlicensed saloons masquerading as clubs should be wiped out tmedlately.

BRITISH PRESSCHEERS LLOYD GEORGE DICTUM, 'KEEP OUT OF THE RING' War Secretary's Demand for "Knockout" of Prussianism Taken .as Blunt Warn ing to Neutrals & "HISTORIC MANIFESTO" By ED. L. KfcEN LONDON, Sept 29. Lloyd George's declaration that the war-must go on to a "knockout," and his warning to neutrals to make no peace overtures at present, con tained In an Interview given the United Press, won tho unanimous support of the English press today. The Lloyd George statement, described by the Express as a "hlstorlo manifesto," was printed In every morning newspaper in Great Britain and telegraphed by all the great news angencles throughout neutral and allied countries. The newspapers printed lengthV editorial comment "This really historic manifesto," said the Express, "puts In direct and unequi vocal words what every man and woman In the British Empire feels. Germany's growing conviction, that If the' war'contln ues she must be broken and beaten Inevi tably, leads to neutral agitation for peace. "American politicians, eager for the hy phenated vote, undoubtedly would suggest mediation, asking the belligerents to kiss and forget their quarrels. To all would-be peacemakers, whether In America, Itome or Spain or other neutral countries, the war secretary bluntly says: 'Keep out of the ring.' " DECLAIMTION OP RESOLVE "It Is at once a declaration of British resolve and a warning to those who would thwart it that Great Britain simply won't listen at this Juncture to whines and over tures from Germany through any source," said the Mall. "Many signs Indicate that Germany Is planning peace overtures via the United States. Hence Lloyd George wisely took an American Journalist Into confidence, using straight from the shoulder language which Americans appreciate. "These words ought to go a long way toward enlightening neutrals. The British people recognize In hla words the proof and echo both of their spirit and their policy, The British army afield will be strengthened by them In the knowledge that their valor and sacrifices are not thrown away by the weakness of politicians." "Interviewing," said th Times, "is an American institution which the old world, borrowed, and it is only appropriate that In Choosing this method of expressing hi views, the Secretary for War should favor with his conMence the head of ens of the great American pews organisations.
