MUDANIA, Oct. 10. (By the
Associated Press.) The armistice
convention was signed here tonight
at 11 o'clock. The representatives
of all the powers concerned affixed
their signatures to the revised
protocol, which General Harington
had nresented for acceptance to
Ismet Pasha and which the nation
alist delegates forwarded to the
Angora government for its decision
General Harington had informed
Ismet Pasha that the convention
embodied Great Britain's last word
and that the other powers gave
their unqualified support to the
terms.
Turku Are Bit Dismayed.
On his part, Ismet had replied
that he hoped his government would
accept the conditions set forth, and
premised a reply by 5 o'clock to
night. In the meantime, the British
commander returned to Constanti
nople, where he remained until early
this afternoon, proceeding back to
Mudania on the Xron Duke to hear
the Turks." decision.
The Turkish delegates were some
what dismayed and disappointed
over the turn of events in the past
two days. The new attitude taken;
by France after the Paris confer- j
ence puzzled them and they were
aiT.Reed that French friendship, on
which they counted as a main prop
in the negotiations, did not yield
the results they expected.
DittaatlMfaction Is Tolled.
At the session of the conference
Monday night, Ismet Pasha ex
pressed dissatisfaction at the terms
the allies offered.
He said to General Harington:
"But your new armistice convention
is in contradiction to the assurances
given to me by General Charpy.
"The convention instead of paving
the way for peace only makes
matters worse. .
General Harington replied merely:
'General Charpy has assented to the
terms."
French Held Responsible.
After the close of the formal pro
ceedings, Ismet in the course of a
conversation on the recurring sub
ject of France's promises, said: It
was upon France's suggestion that
our army ceased operations against
the Greeks, France promising us
favorable armistice terms. France's
responsibility, therefore, is con
siderable. "If no agreement is reached, Our
army will insist on marching into
Thrace, but every day's delay
caused by our reliance on favorable
armistice promises diminishes our
military advantage."
45 DAYS DELAY REQUIRED
Eastern Tlirace to Be Evacuated
by Greeks in .1 5 Days.
LOXDOX, Oct. 10. iBy the Asso-'
ciated Press.) After numerous de
lays and interruptions the work of
the Mudania conference reached a
concluding point yesterday with the!
presentation to Ismet Pasha, the'
nationalist representative, for ac- i
ceptance of the protocol agreed to!
by all the allies, which, as Lieuten- j
ant-General Harington described it,
would give to the Turks their aims
within -45 days.
The convention, consisting of 14
clauses, was drawn on liberal lines,
showing strongly traces of French
influence on the side of the Kem
alists. I'nder it the Greeks will evacu
ate eastern Thrace within 15 days
and complete the transfer to the
Turks in an additional month. The
Turkish civil administration will
follow, closely on the heels of the
departure of the Greeks, the entire
transfer being under the super
vision of the allied missions and
allied forces provisionally occupy
ing Thrace, not exceeding seven
battalions.
- The number of Turkish gend
armerie in the province during the
interval is left undetermined, to the
discretion of the Kemalists, subject
to the allied approval.
The Turks, on their side, under
take not to place an army in Thrace
until peace is ratified, while new
neutral zones will be delimited by
fixed commissions.
Ismet Pasha expressed the hope
that his government would approve
the convention and promised an
answer at 5 o'clock tonight. As the
Greek government has instructed
Its delegates -to sign the conven
tion if the Turks sign, there ap-!

CHICAGO, Oct. 10. "My word,
what a beautiful London fog you
have here. Was this arranged to
make us feel at home? American
ingenuity, what?"
Lord Mount Batten, 22-year-old
British peer, cousin of the prince
of Wales, here on his wedding tour,
affected surprise wh?n told ,by re
porters that he had made a name
for himself by telling Judge Land Is
at the riotous New York game that
the crowd was "handing him the
bird."
"American slangy I know, is rich.
Topping, I call it. I heard a $ood
one at a dance in New York. A chap
asked my wife if he could 'park his
chin on her shoulder meaning
could he have the next'dance. Very
good, what?"
"Judge Landis? Ripping old com
panion. He didn't seem to mind it
when , the crowd at the game was
giving him the bird. Paid no atten
tion to the hoots and bally jeers
they flung at him. Quite c6ol, reg
ular old snuffer, the judge."
"What does your husband think of
American flappers?" was, asked of
Lady Mount Batten, who was Miss
Edwina Ashley, England's richest
heiress.
' Ton my soul," she exclaimed,
with determination, "he hasn't had
a chance to meet ay and I'll see
that he doesn't."
The Mount Battens are on their
way to California. They will visit

see the bally actors leaping from

Miss Who Found Bodies of Minis
ter and Mrs. Mills Thought
to Know Much of Case.
NEW BRUNSWICK. N. J.. Oct. 10.
(By the Associated Press.) Prisos,
bars closed tonight on a third Im
portant figure in the Hall-Mills
murder mystery, but the incarcera
tion, instead of helding clear the
weird tangle of clews and counter
clews, served only to emphasize the
difficulties authorities are encount
ering in their efforts to check up
the evidence on which 19-year-old
Clifford Hayes stands accused of the
double slaying.
The third to go .to jail was J'earl
Bahmer, the 15-year-old girl, who
Raymond Schneider' said Hayes
thought he was slaying, with her
stepfather, when. according to
Schneider's story, Hayes fired four
bullets into the bodies of the Itev.
Edward Wheeler Hall and .Mrs.
Eleanor Relnhardt Mills on the
night of September It on the de
serted Phillips farm. Schneider was
held as a material witness.
Girl Held as Incorrigible.
Pearl was not officially Jailed in
connection with the Hall-Mills case.
The charge against her which she
calmly admitted was incorrigibil
ity. Prosecutor Strieker of Middle
sex county, who has been active in
the investigation of the Hall-Mills
case, appeared personally against
her. County Judge Daly departed
'from the rule of secrecy in juvenile
cases and threw his court open, be
cause he declared the people "have
a right to know why she is being
put in Jail."
After she had testified to Intimacy
with Schneider and her stepfather
she was officially committed for a
week, pending a decision on the In
corrigibility charge. Unofficlally.lt
was said that she was being given
a chance to "think over" the con
flicting stories she has told. Nich
olas Bahmer later was arrested as
a result of the charges preferred
by his step-daughter and held In j
$10,000 bail following his arraign-.
ment.
V;irl I. Suspected.
Pearl, who was with Schneider
when the boSies of Mr. Halt and
Mrs. .Mills were "found" two days
after the murders, on more than one
occasion has given newspaper men
working on .the case reason to be
lieve she knew more than she was
telling.
Bahmer took exception to the
story Pearl told yesterday that he
was intoxicated ort the night of the
murder. He declared that he was
perfectly sober and was sitting on
his porch when Pearl asked him to
take a walk with her. They stopped
at a store, he said, and had Ice
cream. During their walk, Bahmer
asserted. Pearl complained to him of
Schneider's attentions. He told her
he had bought a .45 caliber pistol
and that she need not worry, as he
would protect her.'
Pearl said today she was sure
Clifford Hayes did not kill the min
ister and Mrs. Mills.
"If they take me before the
prosecutor again," she said, "I'll tell
a real story."
Daughter Disbelieves Story.
Charlotte Mills, the 16-year-old
daughter of the murdered woman,
said: "You will iiever make me
believe that Clifford Hayes shot my
mother and Mr. HaSl. I know Ky
Schneider and I don't think he has!
sense enough to do it."
She said she wanted to go away
from New Brunswick and make new
friends. She has had many pro-
nnsals rtt mnrriair. since her mat li
er's death, she said, but she turn
them down. "I am going to form a
man hater's club," she added.
Mrs. Raymond Schneider, when
seen at her home in South River,
near here, said her husband had
often threatened her. She said ne
often carried a gun.

VERDICT PROVED RIGHT
New Affidavit Exonerates Two
Men, Freed by Court In Accident.
THE DALLES. Or.. Oct. 10 (Spe

mitted to the grand Jury last wee,
wsa made public today, bringing
light a new identlfical Ion of the
mystery car that caused the death
of Edwin M. Hill of Dufur In an
automobile accident on the Columbia

August 27. The affidavit was sub

The car described In the affidavit

that has hung over the heads of two
men. Frank A. Uilcrlst and Stanley
Pullen, who were detained following
the accident. They were driving a
roadster with the top down.
The court found that these two
men were not guilty, although the
lack of positive proof caused many
