BATES ATTACKS CAMERAMAN
Shortly after he emerged from the
Morals Court, where hts seventeen-year-old
, daughter, Mrs. Ellen Sher
rerd, was released against his wishes
in tb custody of her attorney tbU
morning, -Hiram O. Rates, clock man
ufacturer, received a bloody nose dur
ing a scuffle in which he smashed n
newspaper photographer's camera.
The trouble commenced when the
photographer 'snapped picture of
Rates, who had his daughter arrested
because, he said.-die could id no evi
dence, that she' had Jieen legally mar
ried te her flfty-seven-yar-eld husband,
Harry D. finer rerd, member of a Phlla
delnhla prlntlnc Arm.
' Bates sprang at the photographer,
and -the latter In dodging his blew,
stumb'ed and fell. The irate clock
manufacturer kicked the camera into
smithereens and in some way Injured
his "nose.
Called Father Cruel
Bates (Was in none tee geed humor
when he cam from the courtroom. Ray
mond .White, attorney employed by
Sherred te defend his young wife has
characterized him at the hearing as a
cruel father who had forced his daugh
ter te 'leave home because of bis treat
ment. The attorney also demanded that Mrs.
Sherrerd bi permltted-te tell her story
of why she had left home.
"In the Interest of and for the pro
tection of her two sisters," he said,
"something should be done by this
court, which has Jurisdiction ever nil
cases under twenty-one years old."
The bearing was conducted before
Judge German. The Juflge appeared te
be about te give his permission te Mrs.
Sherrerd te tell the treatment received
from her father in his home, when at
torneys for Bates breugh-the hearing
te an abrupt end by demanding that she
be held until an Investigation of the
marriage, new being made by Morals
Court officers in New Yerk, is com
pleted. n
Held for Anether Hearing
Judge German released her in the
custody of her attorney until Tuesday
morning, when another hearing will be
held.
The young wife left the courtroom
with her husband and returned te his
home in Haddenfleld, N. J.
She appeared at the hearing wearlnc
n black silk cape, a black hat trimmed
with silk, tan stockings 'and black slip
pers with a strap ever -the insteps and
high heels, Mrs. Sherrerd is unusually
attractive. She is of the brunette type,
with short, dark hair and large brown
eyes.
"Kidnapped" His Daughter Vedneeday
After lying in wait for his daughter
several days, Bates virtually kidnapped
her from her husband's home in Had Had
eonfleld, N. J., Wednesday, and rushed
her in his nutomeblle te this city, where
he had her arrested en a charge of In
corrigibility. "I am se upset ever this I can
hardly talk," said Sherrerd, who is a
member of, the Arm of Sherrerd
Brethers, printers, of this city. All
this trouble is due te Kates, whom I
have known for yeara. I mnrrled his

HITS BUNGLING METHODS
New Brunswick, N. J., Oct. 20. An
arrest within twenty-four hours, or
their withdrawal from the case, was
the ultimatum prepared today by Mid
dlesex County officials investigating the
murder of theRev. Edward Wheeler
Hall and MrsvEleoner R. Mills,
The ultimaum Is .te be served en
Prosecutor A,. M.,Beekman, of Somer
set County, who Is te return here this
afternoon after a brief absence. Prese
cuter Strieker, of Middlesex County, It-
is saiu, win insist en speedy action.
The joint investigation. wni mnde nee
essary because the' bodies of the rector
ana the choir singer were found en the
old Phillip; farm in Middlesex County r
while the murdered couple lived here
in Somerset County.
The Middlesex County officials are
nrepareu in suDstance te maKe this dec
laration te the ether prosecuter:
"We think we knew who committed
the murders. We think we have the
goods. We certainly knew whom we
want arrested. If you don't act In
twemy-ieur neurs we will wash our
hands of the whole thing."
Bungling Methods Resented
The bungled handling of the case
which led te the arest of Clifferd Hayes
,nu 'Jj "confession" by Raymond
Schneider, is said te have made Prose
cutor Beckman hesitant about decisive
n ..2" ,n,fnr et another mistake.
Startling discrepancies," according
te investigators have been uncovered in
statments of several important wit
nesses.. 'Barbara Tough, -a maid in the
linn home, has been summoned for fur
ther questioning.

confidante s of the slain rector's widow.
The trail te the slayer seemed
warmer today as investigators began
searching for nn automobile of old model

man of Highland Park, says he eaw in
De Russy's lane en the night of Sep
tember 14. The lane is near the spot
where the bodies were found two days
later.
Mr. Sepcr says he can identify the
car en sight and that it carried a New
Brunswick tag in addition te the reg
ular license plate. He explained he
wuh returning by meter from n visit te
bemerville and that the car attracted
Ms attention because of Its model and
becnuse it wns coming from a section
seldom yisl red by motorists in the mid
dle of the night.
The Hall home is still under surveil
lance State troopers keeping it con
tinually under observation. Attempts
te communicate with the house by tele tele tele
phone today failed. It was explained
the connection had been cut.
Will Examine Maid
Louise Gelst, another mnld in the

again either today or tomorrow. The
young woman is said te have quar

Special Election for
Vare Successor Nev. 7
Harrlsburg, Pa., Oct. 20. A
special election te fill the unexpired
term of Sennter Vare. wns called
today by Lieutenant Governer Bel
dleman. The regular election No
vember 7, was set ns the date for
the special election.
Clty Hall politicians, big and lit
tle, who are getting used te sensations
are nevertheless stirred, up today by,
the statement Issued by President. Judge
Brown, of the Municipal Court, in
which lie argued for peace among the
factions,
"Wlmt docs it mean? What is its
lRnlficanceVS5 was the general ques
tion. The principal leaders new In chaw
of the Republican City Organization
acclaimed the document as n timely
utterance making for continued har
meny.
Miner leaders were mere suspicious
be te speak. Seme of these pointed
out that the. Judge will be a candidate
for his present place en the bench in
the election of next year, and they
argued that the Judge did net Intend
te allow the fact that he was en the
bench te cause him te be overlooked
in any discussion or plan involving the
future of the city organization, a '
Voices Hepe of Big Chiefs
However, among the big chiefs, Judge
Brown's statement wns accepted up
voicing their hope that the present or
ganization can be maintained against
the attempt of any non-resident, such
as Jeseph B. Grundy, te take it ever
nnd make It part of a Grundy State or
ganization. .These chieftains, who fermerly.served
under Senater Vare, say that almost
without exception the present members
of the old Vare city organization have
agreed te stand tegether...,uWhentkey
were asked where the money was "com
ing from, the answer was that it -was
ensy te get money when "you have nn
organization."
In short, the big chiefs are going te
try te work out an experiment by
which .they will continue the organiza
tion as new constituted nnd make den's
later en when the occasion arises. Tills
program assumes, of course, that they
will 'all stand together. '
There is where the rub comes In.
The synlcal and frankly practical among
the rnnk and file ask: ''Can all of us
be trusted te stick together when per
haps we may be able te make ar
rangements for ourselves which will be
mere ndvantngeeus, politically and
financially?"
Nothing te Cause Split New
These informed conceded it te be
true thnt most of the leaders, important
nnd unimportant, the former of whom
Included such men as Councilman Hall,
Judge Brew;ij. Richard Weglein, Tem
Cunningham, Register of Wills Camp
bell, Congressman Vare nnd the Train
ers arc new- standing together, and that
there was nothing right at hand which
would cnuse them te de otherwise.
It Is net believed that these men or
any ethers have signed a life and denth
pledge te stic ktegether no mntter what
happens, fe rthe reason thnt they de
net knew what will happen. Hence,
it is argued, safety lies for the time
being in hanging together as was sug
gested by Councilman Buchholz, a re
minder of the days when the astute
David Martin was in the thick of
things.

Century Age Dragged
Out by Nominee
By GEORGE NOX McCAIN
ONE of the most interesting phases
of Jehn McSparran's style of cam
paigning for votes is what might be
termed "his delightful inconsistency."
One minute he berates Gilferd Pinchot
for "spending $250,000 te get the nom
ination," as he puts It, and the next
he declares that It was the Republican
"gang" thnt put him in nomination.
This latter charge should start the
"gang," as he calls it, into peals of
laughter.
Pinchot as the candidate of the
"gang," by which term Mr. McSpar
rnn would have his auditors believe he
nteans the Republican organization,
that did its level best te defeat bim at
the primary I
However, after working up bis bear
ers te this point, Mr. McSparran seem
ingly clarifies his statement by ex
plaining Just who the gang is
"It was a gang nomination made by
Bill Fllnn. of Pittsburgh ; Buck Devlin,
of Philadelphia; Charlie Jehnsen, of
Montgomery; Sam Lewis, of Yerk, and
several mere," vociferates Mr. McSpar-
That's the roster of the "gang."
Just Where They Staaa
Every voter who knows anything
knew that Sennter Flinn has been the
leading independent in Pittsburgh for
7t$i!'A. Devlin, of Philadelphia,' broke"
away from the organization at the pri
mary, te support Pinchot.
Deputy Auditor General Jehnsen was
disciplined by the Republican organiza
tion for supporting Pinchot by Its re
fusal te re-elect him treasurer of the
State Committee, a position he bad held
for years. ,,.,
Auditor General Samuel S. Lewis Is
thn heat hated man in Harrisburg by
the men who have been doing their best
te ruin the Republican party.
This method of attack is certain evi
dence either of the narrow vision of the
Democratic candidate, who is groping
for issues, or nn attempt te mislead the
people.
"Flneganism," as he cheeses te put
,lt, is the nbattls from behind which Mc
Sparran assails the public school sys
tem. Judged solely by his attitude en this
most Important question, McSparran
would drag the public schools, particu
larly In the rural districts, back te the
decadent period prier te 1000.
On the school question Mr. McSpar
ran is a reactionary.
He endeavors te disguise it under the
mask of attacks en "centralization of
power," '
"There are millions of dollars due
our school districts," he wails.
"Our school directors are compelled
te borrow money from the banks te
keep the schools In operation."
Doesn't Ge Full Way
But he steps short then. He does
net explain with fairness and candor
thnt the school system is net responsible
for this.
He knows, as does every one else with
brnlns, that thi situation is the re
sult of deplorable nnd Indefensible finan
cial methods for which one or two State
officials in Harrisburg alone are re
sponsible. The conspicuous instnnce, though, in
his speeches, which he uses te illus
trate the nllcged centralization "bf power
in the Department of Education at Har
rittburg Is this:
"De you knew that this centraliza
tion of power has taken from the school
beards their functions, and from the
school teachers their individuality?"
he nhks.
"There are 45,000 school teachers In
this State. De you knew that every
one of them has te report every day
te the department nt Harrisburg?
"Yes, sir. They must make a dally

Cewriaht, iOtt, by Fublfe Lrdacr Company
Washington, Oct. L'O. The fall of
Lloyd Geerge will net alter tubstnn
tlally the Uritlsh foreign policy, se,
from the American point of iew, it is
merely an incident of Uritlsh domestic
politics. It is a dramatic nnd inter
esting Incident, nut net an important
one.
British foreign policies are dictated
by need of safeguarding the British
Empire and by the requirements of
British trnde.
The British Empire requires first of
nil pence. It rqulrrs fiu-ndly rein rein
tlens with the United Stntes.
In the Orient it requiirs fr!endl re
lations with Japan. In Euieiie it has
te get en as well ns it can with icst
less nnd ambitious Truiiee.
It wns because Llejd Geerge used
words thut suggested war in the Near
Lnst mere than for nnj ether reason,
thnt he fell.
The new- Ge eminent will have te sat
isfy the demands of Turkev ns best it
can without reusing the nationalistic
nenes of the Miissulinen In tin. it-i,iui.
dominions. Lloyd Geerge would have I
had te de the snme thing. Prebnblv the I
British voters thought some one 'who
had net threatened the Turks ns Llejdl
Ueerge had would de this bitter thnn '
nc, nun uiis leu te tlie result in the
Newport election, where the Conservn Censervn
tlves had the tremendous vk-teiv which
encouraged them le threw eu-r the Coa
lition lender.
Debt Must Be raid
With regnrd te the debt of Great
Britain te the United States, the new
Government can only hne the same
policy that Lle.d Geerge hnd, namely,
te arrange Jer Us pn.wuent en the ens-it-st
term' Visible. That is the chief
element the Brltlsli-Amcrican re-
Intleiiff nt present.
Ah for Russia, the needs of British
trade remnln tle same no matter what
go eminent Englund has, and, in the
last analysis, they willl control. The
die-hard element among the Conseivu Censeivu
tlves were critical of Llejd Geerge nt
the time of the Genea Conference. But
with France inclining toward friendlier
relations with Hussin, the new Govern
ment will have te ee as fur r..r,i,,..

ylets than Llejd Geerge himself did.

Lloyd Geerge te proceed nnd he was
visibly affected.
In the early pnrt of his speech

This was evidenced by the announce

Mr. Benar Law cannot officially nni
neuncc the formation of his ministry
until he Is elected head of the Unenisf
Party te succeed Austen Chamberlain-,
but it Is generally conceded that this
election will be only a formality.
Although the spilt in the Unionist

material as Mr. Chamberlain, Lord!

whether he is strong enough te stand
