LETTER FOR.MONEY CLEW Puyallup Friend ot Victim Tells of Correspondence; Prisoners' Safe Deposit Box Searched. SEATTLE, Wash.. Oct. 22. (Spe cial. Mystery in connection with the murder of Airs. Klizabeth Bryan of Puyallup, whose body was found Monday In the exclusive Mount Baker park district, developed today in the arrest of Mrs. Anna Nemitz, mother of William Fay Ealy, 22-year-old painter called for investigation in connection with the crime. Mrs. Nemitz' arrest followed the long in terview by Captain of Detectives Charles Tennant and a search of the safety-deposit box used jointly by Mrs. Nemitz and her son. About $3000 was found there. "Complicity" was all that Captain Tennant would say when he had is sued orders to take Mrs. Nemitz' to the city Jail. "Their statements do not dovetail." - Investigation by the detectives to day revealed that Mrs. Nemitz made a hurried trip to the safe-deposit box Monday night following her son's ar rest. All of the money in it was taken out. She said this was for the pur pose of obtaining bail for him. She asserted that less than $500 was in the box. Letter Cannes Arrest. The arrest was the outcome of in terrogation of both Mrs. Nemitz and Kaly regarding letters reported to have been written by Mrs. Bryan and Kaly. On receipt of information that Mrs. Bryan had shown one of Ealy's letters to a woman friend in Puyallup, Mrs. James Anderson, in which he had .written that she should come to Seattle with her money without fail on Saturday. Captain Tennant de tailed detectives to work in Puyallup. Other correspondence Is said to have been found, but this particular letter is anxiously sought by the police. It was definitely learned that Mrs. Bryan destroyed a number of letters and photographs in Puyallup Satur day morning before starting for Se attle. Late this evening Crawford E. White and J. P. Gallagher, attorneys for Mrs. Nemitz and Ealy, obtained a writ of habeas corpus that will be returnable at 1:30 tomorrow after noon. This will, it is believed, hasten charges by Tennant. According to the 6tory the detect ives say they received from Mrs. An derson, Mrs. Bryan revealed her friendship with Kaly. Mrs. Anderson said, the detectives assert, that Mrs. Bryan told her she had been corresponding with Ealy for some time, and on September 25 rent ed postoffice box No. 115 in Puyallup so that her letters from Ealy would not be delivered at her home. Letter Asked for 450O. On October 15. according to Mrs. Anderson, Mrs. Bryan showed her a letter from Ealy in which he asked her to get the S4500 considered aa the wife's share of the Bryan com munity assets and of which she had tild him in a previous letter and bring it to Seattle. Ealy said in the letter, Mrs. Ander son says, that he would put with the $4500 some money he had and they would go to Los Angeles, where he would open a garage. Mrs. Anderson told the officers Mrs. Bryan answered Ealy by saying she could not get the money until Sat urday, October 18, when she would leave Puyallup for Seattle on the 2:lt interurban, and would register at the Plaza hotel under the name of Mrs. Beth Galbraith. Mrs. Anderson said that on Satur day. October 18, Mrs. Bryan gave her a letter to mail. It wa addressed to Ealy. She says she cannot exactly recall the address, but that it was somewhere on Madison street. Seattle. Mrs. Anderson says she frequently cared for Mrs. Bryan's two babies when the latter went away from home. Although William Ealy has been qutstioned several times by' Captain Tennant, he has remained unshaken in his original story. 14-Incli Sliver in. Veteran. HOOD RIVER. Or., Oct. 22. (Spe cial.)

"Trimmed With Red" and "The Blooming Angel," are by Wallace Irwin, and appeared recently as serials In the Saturday Evening Post. They are said to offer splen did vehicles for the humorous and tender effects which belong pecu liarly to the charming star, whose last picture, "Strictly Confidential,' Is now enjoying a nation-wide popu larlty. "Going Some" will be the next Rex Beach picture, following the comple tion this week of "The Silver Horde,' directed by Frank Lloyd. The new Violet Hemlng, who plays the title role In "Every woman," is a lover of motoring but not in Los Angeles, where the picture was made. "Always I have loved to drive my own car." says Miss Heming, "but I shall let someone else handle the wheel whenever I am riding in the streets of Los Angeles.- I never saw -anything like the way they driy.e here. They re like wild westerners when ever they get behind the steering wheel. I am surprised that they are not all killed off. They miss other cars by inches and are angry because they wasted so much space. "The day I got off the train In Los Angeles and motored to my ho tel, I felt I was In the wild west at last. Of course I didn't see any gun men or hilarious cowboys, but I had more excitement than I would have had In the wildest and woollest of villages In the adventurous days of long ago.

"Although Mr. Stewart says that he expects strenuous opposition to the amendment at the hands of C. K. Spence. master of the state grange. and Walter Pierce, senator from Union county, he declares he will pass practically all of the time intervenins between the filind of the amendment and the election, if necessary, in stumping the state in behalf of the measure. Robert Booth, Simon Benson and W. L. Thompson, members of the state highway commission, favor the amendment, according to Mr. Stewart, although there has been a slight hitch regarding the extent of the limitation of indebtedness. None of these men, however, favors less than 5 per cent, which is believed little enough to meet the road building demands of the state during the next few years. In passing this amendment the state Indebtedness limit will be on a par with counties, which were authorized by the last legislature to vote bonds in a sum equal to 6 per cent of their property valuation for toad work.
