England, who upon recommendation of David Lloyd George, has been asked to form a Conservative cabinet to replace the Coali tion oabin.et which resigned with Lloyd George. NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J.—Pros ecutor AZnriah Beekman of Som- * rsot county, was expected to lay iho evidence in the Hall-Mills mur- ilor »ase before th£ grand jury Y.onday. At the same time detec tives on his staff were busy round- itiR up new witnesses for examina tion at a secret headquarters where I most witnesses liavo been taken re cently in an effort to avoid the many newspaper men working on the case. ‘ ’ > <> ■ A Great Interest was manifested by iimhorities lit a report that the Rev. Hail, slain rector of the Episcopal Church of St. John the Evangelist, mice employed a private detective to curb the activities of. a man who Mrs. Eleanore Reinhardt Mills, choir leader, killed with the-cler gyman. had complained was annoy ing her. An inquiry was begun Monday al so of the report that another Io nian was Involved in the complica-* tions cf Dr. Hall and that he vis ited her alone in a iManhattan at artment. Authorities have learned that Dr. Hall sent a telegram to this woman early in August. It read: ‘ Will l»e at your apartment late this evening.” Western Union offi cials declined to turn a copy of the message over to the authori ties without a court order. Both reports • were said to be supported by documentary evidence and left little doubt that both Dr. H; 11 and Mrs. Mills had other ad mirers. who might be able to throw lipht on the mystery. s NOW NEW ENGLISH PRIME MINISTER Plans Early Monday Were Such That He Would Smoothly Sail In to New Office.

Fire Marshal Thomas Bro- phy was in charge of one investiga tion. and Assistant District Attorn ey John Hennis of the homicide bu reau in charge of the other. The fire was thought to have started under the main stairway in the hall of the five-story double tenement structure at 110th street and Lexington avenue. Six baby carriages had been parked there the evening befqre. In many re spects the fire was similar to the one on the same street - but on the west side a month ago in which seven lives were lost. Six members of the family of Ab raham Sugarman were burned to death, and five or six members of the Silver family lost their lies ib the flames. Several of the dead were killed jumping from the burning structure. Two bodies, those of a man and a woman were charred so badly as to render Identification difficult if not impossible. The fire made rapid headway, spirals of flame roaring through wooden alrshafts and hallways up fie floors in fifteen minutes. Many thrilling rescues were made. Fred- erich Strokacch being credited by police with saving eighteen lives. He was taken to a hospital se verely burned. Neighbors gave shelter to the homeless families.
