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.

cial.) Just back from the Mexican
border after being mustered out of
service, Bernard Callison was caught
by ropes of hay fork machinery on
the ranch place of his father, R. E.

along a barn wall his clothing caught
a large sliver, causing it to penetrate
the fleshy part of his hip. Sections
of the sliver, 14 inches in length, were
withdrawn at once. The young man
was rushed to Dr. J. H. McVay of this
city, who removed a number of
smaller sections.

IT IS a new Mary Pickford that Is

ing at the Liberty theater.
Veteran as the tiny little star Is In
the cinema game, she displays an en
tirely new person in this play. It is
true during minute intervals of the
last few scenes she brings into evi

winsomeness, but . taken as a whole
she Is a temperamental little minx
with a series of grandfathers back
of her and ideas on their and her own
importance which automatically put
other grandfathers and . families in
the shade.'
: "The Hoodlum" is a comedy, pure
and simple. It Is the story of a
motherless lass whose wealthy grand
father has made of her a whimsical,
hysterical and selfish little aristocrat
a veritable "chip off the old block."
In a moment of impulse the young
tyrant decides at the last moment
not to accompany her grandfather on
a Eropean trip, but to go with her
father, who plans to live in "Craig
street," that he may get first-hand
information for a book on slum con
ditions. Craig street opens to the girl a new
world. At first it sends her into
hysterics, but later it gets into her
blood and she is affectionately known
to the inhabitants of the district as
"the hoodlum." Mary Pickford shoot
ing craps on the street corner In the
company of a little negro and two
other little boys; Mary Plckford slid
ing down a coal chute to avoid a po

Hack In California from her three
months of vacationing, Madge Ken
nedy is ready to begin work on one
of the two themes which she has
selected for her next productions.
Both stories. "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. Motoring on the streets of
Los Angeles Is entirely too thrilling
for me."

Mr. Stewart passed this afternoon
In Salem in conferring with the secre
tary of state and outlining his plans
for the campaign. The amendment
will be prepared within the next few
days, according to Mr. Stewart, and
probably will be filed some time next
week. It will then be referred to the
attorney-general for ballot title and,
if approved by, that official, no time
will be lost in getting the petitions
into circulation. Mr. Stewart fcays the
amendment will come before the vot
ers at the general election to be held
next November, thereby giving the
circulators of the petitions almost a
year to obtain the necessary signa

Because of the attitude of the gov

feel that the voters should support
the constitutional amendment, there
by placing the state in a position tc
meet all federal appropriations for

BY DR. SAMUEL HAMILTON.
It is because of the waftthafc
the perfect physical man has all
at once become the Mol of the
world. You can make of yourself, even
rather late in life, almost anything you
like. You are not going to get fit in one
iay, one month, or, perhaps, a year,
unless you take enough outdoor exercise
to keep the circulation going and practiso
the athleU's first principle to keep the
system clean. He does not give hia body
a chance to absorb poisona. He not
only takes his cold shower, after exercise,
but he knows a cleansing of the intestines
is important, and he takes occasionally a
gocl regulator and liver cleanser, such
as a 'dose of castor oil, or, what is much
better, a tiny pill made up of May-apple,
aloin and jalap, and sold by almost all
druggists in the land as Dr. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. j
Keep the kidneys in good order also.
Avoid too much meat, alcohol or tea. Drink plenty of pure water,
preferably hot water, before meals, and drive the uric acid out of the

whether the kidneys are affected. When your kidnej's get sluggish
and clog, you suffer from backache, sick-headaches, dizzy spells, or
twinges and pains of lumbago, rheumatism or gout; or sleep is dis
turbed two or three times a night. Take heed, before too latel Get

your entire system. Ask your nearest druggist for it or send Dr.
Pierce ten cents for trial package of "Anuric"
