"Sinister Insinuation" Scent
ed by Postal Chief.
ESPIONAGE CLAUSE RILES
Abuse or Wires While Under Gov
eminent Supervision Is Cause
of. Heated Rejoinder.
WASHINGTON, June 13. Postmaster-General
Burleson issued a state
ment today declaring that "in the
light of the truth" the "arraignment
ol the postal authorities" by the re
publican party platform adopted at
Chicago, "falls harmless to their feet."
Replying to tne declaration that the
present administration destroyed "the
efficiency of the telephone and tele
graph service when controlled by the
government,'' Mr. Burleson quotes
from statements of the late Theodore
N. Vail, president of the American
Telephone & Telegraph company;
President Carlton of the Western
Union Telegraph company and others
to show that the wire properties were
successfully administered by the gov
ernment. Mr. Burleson says the republican
organization in a tentative draft of
lis platform made a "sinister insinu
ation" that during- government con
trol the wires were used for purposes
of "political patronage" and "political
espionage." He declares that of the
four new places created for the wire
Administration three were filled with
republicans, and challenges the re
publican organization to prove there
was "even an attempt at political
espionage."
Taking up the platform's declara
tion commending the republican con
gress for increasing the pay of postal
. employes, Mr. Burleson says that in
stead of adopting his plan, "which
would have resulted in an increase
of salaries of postoffice clerks and
city letter carriers to a maximum
basis of $2062 yearly and like in
creases to those in the other lines of
postal activity." congress granted "a
horizontal increase which gives some
an increase not deserved and denies
to thousands of faithful and efficient
employes increases commensurate
with their work and to which they
are fairly entitled."
Referring to the statement in the
proposed first platform plank made
public at Chicago that the republican
congress reduced postage cost, Mr.
Burleson says the congress not only
did not make any such reduction, but
failed to take favorable action on his
recommendation that the postage on
drop, or city letters, be made 1 cent
instead of 2 "after an acknowledg
ment that it should be done."

INon-Partisan. League Asailed.
"WOODLAND, Wash., June 13.
fSpecial.) J. C. Hert8man of Seattle
epoke at the Eagle theater here Fri
day night, his main purpose being
to show what the Non-partisan league
had not accomplished for the people
in North Dakota. Workers for that
organization have been active in this
vicinity recently. After the speak
ing steps were taken to form a re
publican club and John Bogart was
named president; J. C. Grandstrom,
vice-president, and Earle F. Bryant,
secretary.
embroidered orlflamme to Paul
J. Sullivan of the local convention ex
ecutive committee.
Sez Paul "I was standing in the
hotel lobby this morning helping
them to register delegates at about
two in every 12 seconds, when two
women passed by the registration
booth.
"Who are all these people wearing
the badges?" inquired one of the
women.
"Oh," was the quick reply of the
one who professed to know, "they're
all here tar the big A. P. A. conven
tion." "That's good," replied "Cy" Mulkey,
president of the Travelers' Protective
association, to some lieutenant who
had reported progress of convention
plans.
And at once T. S. Logan, national
secretary, began to laugh loudly.
"Seems to me that I've beard those
same words from you before,"- he
grinned, as "Cy" groaned inwardly.
Then the Btory came out. It ap
pears that some of the delegation ar
ranged a quiet little poker party to
kill time while passing through some
of the Rocky mountain states. "Cy"
Mulky comes from Texas where poker
is really played. During the progress
of the game he got a jack full on sev
ens, and, being a Texan, he was quite
proud of them.
It likewise happened that on the
self-same deal Mr. Logan annexed a
quartet of .deuces. "Cy" played his
hand according to all the traditions
of Texas, and Logan came back with
a raise. "Cy" re-raised and began
poking fun at his secretary.
When the call came Logan laid
down his four little deuces. "Cy"
vainly tried to find the fourth Jack
and then put his hand in the deck.
"That's good," he said feebly.'
And every time one of the "boys"
said "That's good" around where their
national president could hear yester
day, he got a mental vision of two
pair of deuces.
Thomas G. Rutledge, national attor
ney for the Travelers' Protective as
sociation, is a Native Son, and proud
of it. Right now he gets his mail at
St Louis, but he's still strong for
California. His father was one of the
original Forty-niners of the Golden
West. Mr. Rutledge said that the as
sociation has been extremely fortu
nate in disposing of its Insurance
cases. Out of 3000 claims paid last
year, there were but five law suits,
all of which makes the ife of the
association attorney an 'appy one.
"Please may I get an Indian basket
before we go to the hotel." pleaded
the wife of one of the Indiana dele
gates as she stepped off the special
train at the union station yesterday
afternoon. "I want to get a fancy
Indian basket before I do anything
else. Where are the Indians:
And then she had to be told that
an Indian around the Portland sta
tion is just as scarce as near-beer
once was in Milwaukee, and she could
hardly believe it when she was in
formed that getting an Indian basket
here meant a series of visits to cer
tain specialty shops.
"I was told that half the population
of Oregon was composed of Indians,
and that I would have some thrilling
times," she confessed, as she was bun
dled into a waiting automobile
Just a word as to the magnitude
of the Travelers' Protective associa
tion of America: It was organized at
Denver in 1890, when a small gTOup
of traveling men decided to band to
gether into a national association.
From that small beginning, the or
ganization has grown until now it la
represented in every state of the
union, and boasts of a membership
of 95,637. It gained 18,000 new mem
bers last year alone. Since its or
ganization it has paid off more than
$6,200,000 in insurance benefits and
has total assets of $600,000. The only
paid officer of the association is T. S.
Logan, who has been secretary for
the last 10 years. He has complete
charge of the insurance feature of the
association. He is elected every two
years and probably will hold office
as long as he wants it.

to do it themselves, Fred handled the
automobile Job in person throughout
tne aay and nisrht. Down at the
Union station he shooed the "cops"
off the street and took charge him
self. A long line of official automo
biles was always in line waiting to
load up passengers and thev were
started away to the hotels with all
luggage aboard in prompt manner.
J. Herbert Stafford Inherits all the
characteristics of the state from
whence he comes Missouri. He is
secretary of the Missouri division of
the Travelers' Protective association.
And being a fellow who insists on be
ing shown, the local committee smiled
happily yesterday when he spoke in
this wise:
"I've attended conventions of all
kinds in nearly all large cities, but
never In my life have I seen such
good work done in meeting delegates
at the trains and getting them to
their proper hotels in quick order.
Portland's boast that she can always
be relied upon to do things properly
certainly is not an idle one. I haven't
heard one word of complaint. In fact,
it has all been praise."
Anybody that'll stOD off at Salt
Lake ought to get left." was the un
feeling comment of those who re
ceived telegraphic advices that the
delegations from South Carolina, Ne
braska and Iowa had misserd connec
tions at Salt Lal and would not ar
rive in i-ortiana until a o ciock tnis
afternoon. These delegates will be
here too late for the opening pa
rade. Their chairman wired to head
quarters asking that the parade be
delayed until their arrival, but be
cause the programme for the entire
week is complete, it was decided that
it could not be postponed. They 11 be
permitted to stage an impromptu ser
pentine through the streets after they
get here if they wish.
"We're shuah glad to meet you-all."
was the thunderous shout of a group
of afternoon arrivals as they bounded
from one of the special trains. Need
less to say, they wore hatbands which
told the world they were from the
state of Georgia. famed for its
peaches and Ty Cobbs.
Among the local members who
formed the reception committee to
meet this and all other trains during
the day were Earl Bunting, Willis
Fisher, H. W. Farrlngton. W. P.
Snook. J. W. Hutchings, Cleve Pres
ton, M. R. Johnson. C. W. Rincman.

O. Windfelder, J. B. Gentry, A. L.
Bratton, David Dunn, Charles Rosen
field, Ray Stedman, W. J. Malthouse,
Dale F. Young and Charles Ringler.
"Aren't these beauties," exclaimed
many women visitors as they received
fragrant Portland roses on leaving
the trains at the Union station yester
day. Mrs. J. B. Gentry, wife of one
of the members of the local reception
committee, was on hand with a huge
basket of famed Portland roses, and
each woman to arrive for the conven
tion received a bouquet as she
stepped from the train.
Pleasing something like 1500 per
sons so far as their hotel accommo
dations are concerned Is no sinecure
as nearly any convention official will
testify, and Charley Alphonse, chair
man of the hotel committee, is no ex
ception. But out of all the hundreds
he cared for yesterday, he received
but one little complaint, which was
quickly remedied. He was on the job
at about 6 o'clock yesterday morning
and was still going strong long after
many of the tired visitors had turned
in last night. He's still got his work
mapped out for himself today, but
he insists he's a bear for punishment
and will see the thing through.
"Everything is in readiness and If
completed plans count for anything
this ought to be the top convention of
the association," declared Clyde J.
Evans, secretary of the convention
committee, to whom has fallen the lot
of arranging for most of the detail
work. The Portland man has been
busy for weeks getting things in
shape, and Instead of resting on his
laurels yesterday he insisted on con
tinuing his work. He had charge of
the registration booth at the Multno
mah hotel, where the guests were all
registered and assigned to quarters
promptly and without confusion.

NEW YORK, June. 13. (Special.)
Tlyee women, one of them said to be
a Russian princess who married a
Frenchman prominent in Parisian
life, were earnestly sought today by
the police investigating the murder
of Joseph B. Elwell, the wealthy turf
man and authority and writer on
bridge whist, who was mysteriously
shot in the reception room of his home
at 244 -West Seventieth street.
These women are said to have vis
ited the Elwell house. The one de
scribed as the Russian princess i:
said to have called there frequently
It is also said that her picture adorns
one of the walls of the house. This
Russian lady of title, it is furthe
said, was detained by federal au
thorities wjien she came to this coun
try. on the ground that she might be
a Russian spy. She was released when
the secret service men became satiS'
fled she was not here for espionage.
Possession of Keys Puazllns.
It was first reported that two or
three women had keys to the Elwell
premises. Edwin Rhodes, -Elwell's
chauffeur, was quoted as having said
two or three women had such keys.
Captain Thomas Walsh, in charge of
the detective branch at West Sixty-
eighth street station, said there
seemfd to be no foundation for the
idea that outside women had keys
to the house, because only two keys
were made, so far as known, and that
a new cylinder was put 1n the lock
last November, with two keys; that
the lock did not work and a second
new cylinder was put in with a sec
ond pair of new keys. This was by
Mr. ElweU's orders, because, as he
told the chauffeurs last November
when he first ordered the new lock.
"I don't know how many keys there
are for this door. Anyhow, you bet
ter get a new lock."
A friend of the Elwell family sup
plied this information today, speak
ing only on condition that his name
not be used.
Mulolde Theory Discredited,
The family does not credit any
suicide theory at all. They believe
that some enemy did it, maybe a
woman. They are inclined to be
lieve that a woman was at least con
cerned in the murder.
Edwin P. Rhodes, chauffeur, who
was questioned In detail by the po
lice Jor all the knowledge he could
give them of the Intimate side of
ElweU's life, said later:
"There were two or three women
with whom Mr. Elwell was very Inti
mate. It was always my understand
ing that they had keys to his house.
I do not know what their names
were.
"It may be that one of these women
was married and' that her husband
found out her friendship with Mr. El
well and somehow got possession of
the key."
Feminine society figured largely
in ElweU's life, both through his ac
tivities as a teacher of bridge whist
and in his general social concerns..
It is reported that 100 Indianapolis
women paid him $18,000 for a series
of whist lessons that extended only
two or three weeks in time.
Finani'txil Troubles Aaaerted.
Statements that Elwell was in
financial trouble were made in con
nection with a suicide theory. The
chauffeur had not received his May
pay cjieck. ElweU's racing string.

been costing him heavily. The let
ter from Gentry, the southern trainer,
had mentioned the high cost of
mounts, feed and labor and so on.
Elwell had sold his house recently.
On the other hand, his father, E.
Elwell of Ridgewood, N. J., says:'
"My .son was wealthy. He was a
heavy and successful operator in
Wall Street. Recently he bought a
fine house for his mother and me at
Ridgewood and settled enough money
on us to make us comfortable for
life. Ite was a splendid son, a won
derful man. . He had no reason to
take his life and 1 agree with the
police that a brutal murder has been
committed."
Inspector John J. Cray and Captain
Carey of the homicide squad are es
pecially keen on tracing ElweU's
movements through the uncovered
gap of early yesterday morning. In
spector Cray said:
"Find out how and where Elwell

and you will go forward to soive mc
