Police and members of the district attorney's office were unwitunis w admit ihev attached great signifi cance to the report of this early morn ing visit because of its vague origin. An unnamed chauffeur is alleged to have said he drove the couple 10 .1 cell's home at that hour. Woman Heard Scream. According to another chauffeur's version he said was told him, the un named driver waited outsloe the El well house, which, he said, the cou ple entered. A moment later tne nuream of a woman inside the house Irlghtened him and he drove away. Mrs. Marie Larsen. Elwell's house- Votivr. under vigorous questioning, told Assistant District Attorney Dool ing that a young woman had gone to the Klwell house shortly after the whist expert was discovered dying from the bullet wound in nis neau. TMru T.arsen said this woman had vis ited Elwell several times before, and was the reputed owner of the pink silk lingerie found in Elwell's bed room. Divorced Man Questioned. TMstrict Attorney Swann admitted his belief that the young woman was bent upon getting possession of the garments and other evidence of fe male occupancy of the sportsman's apartments. He stated that he had no reason to believe she was con nected with the shooting. For seven hours today Victor von Schlegell, divorced husband of Viola Kraus, was questioned in the district attorney's office regarding his move mtxnts on the night of the murder n(U the day preceding. According to Mr. Cooling, Von Schlegell admitted having an army revolver in his apart ment, which he said tie had never used, did not know whether it was loaded and could not tell its caliber. ile had no license to possess the weapon, Mr. Dooling said, i Diners Tell of Party. Mr. Von Schlegell has accounted for practically every minute of the time from Sunday before the murder, up tot. the present time," said Mr. Dool ins. ;"V'on Schlegell was examined in the presence of Littleton Fox, attorney for Mrs. Walter Lewiaohn and her I eiBter, Miss Kraus, who dined with Elwell at the IUt Carlton hotel sev eral hours before his death. Von Schlegell said he also had dined at the Rits-Carlton the same night with a woman companion, whose identity he revealed to the district attorney, but which has not been made public. A telephone connection was estab lished between the home of Elwell nnd William H. Pendleton, said to be ,Elwell's closest friend, who lives tn a suburb, during the early hours of the morning Elwell was murdered. This was the only new development today in the case. Nothing has been made public con cerning a report of detectives who were sent to Lexington, Ky, Tuesday with hopes of establishing some mo tive for the murder. Deputy District Attorney Joyce said today that de tectives had been "sent to places out of town besides Kentucky." AXXIE' EXPLAINS FRIENDSHIP Woman, Believed Involved In El well Murder, Tells of Note. LEXINGTON, Ky., June 17. Anne Ttussell Uriffy, daughter of Porter Uriffy of Versailles, Ky.. prominent socially throughout the blue grass re gion, and whom local police believe is the "Annie" mentioned by New York authorities in their annunce ment Tuesday night that detectives were coming here in connection with the murder of Joseph B. Elwell, made public today a statement explaining her acquaintance with Elwell. Miss Griffy said she first met El well at a social function during the Lexington race meeting and that she aw him four times after that at en tcxtainments. Elwell sent her flowers while she was in a hospital for an operation, the statement said, and she wrote a formal note of thanks to El well in New York. It was the note of thanks from Mies Griffy that brought about a& tiyities by New York authorties, po liee here believe. oughly looked into and am In post-1 statement that the rights of a single individual have been unjustly invaded. Senate Held Recreant. "The United States senate has for 11 months had in its hands the power to end conditions that are unmis takably irksome to a great many vw our citizens, because with the ratifi cation of the peace treaty the oper ation of laws that were enacted to safeguard the Interests of the coun try in the war would automatically cease. 'As long as these laws are on the statute books they must be enforced. They have been and are being en forced with as little Injury to the welfare of the country and rights of individuals as possible. I do not know that I would even care to de fend any policy that I have deemed essential to the fullest protection of the national interest. That would be too much like offering an apology where one is not needed. I do not believe that my course calls for an apology of any kind. Foe Declared Responsible. , The republican and not the demo cratic policy has been responsible for any bad effects that have resulted from the failure of the republican senate to ratify the Versailles treaty and the covenant of the league of na tions.

I am as confident today as 1 was when I returned from Paris finally in July last that the people of not only America, but of the entire" world, are in favor of the league of nations; that they would feel a greater sense of security If its bebefits Bhould be guaranteed; that they would not approve, with their votes, the policy of the republican party, which is wholly political in in tent and purpose, to deny them the protection that the league of nations assures. "Tha republican congressional pol icy." he added, "was more significant for evasion of joint responsibility in grappling with the problems that con front the country than for any moral appreciation of the responsibility it self. Republican leaders in congress cried aloud for the repeal of some of the measures which they well knew . protected the people from more ee rlous evils than they would have the country know.

The Lever food-control act has proved to be one of the most effective agencies in preventing depredations at the expense of the people than al most any other measure now in oper ation.

Republicans chorused a ponderou note of protest against the adminis tration enforcement of the espionage act and some other measures tha were of vital necessity during th war.

X. Strong Declares Big Share of Credit for Publicity Feature Belongs to Portland. "No advertising feature ever held in the west has so thoroughly con vinced our neighbors to the south that we have, or are about to have, roads that will be-open to travel the year round from California to the Pacific northwest, as that of taking 48 cars across Washington and Ore gon to Stockton. Portland came in for a big share of the credit for orig inating the scheme," declared E. N. Strong, president of the Ad club, who has Just returned from California, where he attended the Stockton con vention. "One thing that impressed me about the Calif ornians," said Mr. Strong, "Is the way all the people have thrown away their hammers and purchased brass horns, figuratively speaking. .We have more natural resources which can be capitalized than any state in the union and if every Oregon citizen would shout the praises of what we have, thousands will come to see, just as they have in California. "After traveling over this state and talking with busnies men and far mers of many communities, I am con vinced we should postpone a big percentage of road work until after harvest season, as is planned in Cal ifornia. Illinois, I notice, is doing the same thing as California in this regard and expects to withhold con struction for the present to aid the harvest, and also because of the low price of bonds and the high price of labor, in spite of the fact that the state has just voted a 60,000,00 road bond issue. There is a big scarcity of farm labor throughout the entire state and farmers say they cannot harvest their present crops and plant increased fall acreage unless they have more help." MR. B1GEL0W CRITICISED ATTITUDE OX GASOLlAE STOR AGE PLEA RESENTED. Club Strongly for Meas-ore to Pro vide Funds With Which to Erect Buildings. - The seven candidates for school di rector at the election on Saturday were the speakers at the regular weekly luncheon of the Progressive Business Men s club at the .Benson hotel yesterday. . Each of the candl dates was given five minutes to state his or her qualifications for elec tion to the board nnd to give the plat- form upon which he stands. The three-mill levy, to provide funds with which to erect school buildings, was strongly indorsed, the club already having gone on record as favoring the passage of this measure. Mrs. Francis A. Sherman, the only woman candidate for election to the board, was the first of the speakers. She cited her experience as a teacher for over 20 years, including seven years in Portland, and declared that the election of a woman as member of the board was highly advisable. The other candidates were called upon in alphabetical order, and as a result Arthur W. Jones and S. A. Murhard, the two candidates indorsed by organized labor, were the next speakers. Mr. Jones urged that a greater voice be given teachers in matters of vital importance to their work, while Mr. Murhard emphasized the necessity of a proper school building programme, and urged that idle land in the hands of the school board be sold and the money applied to new buildings. Americanization in the public schools was the note Bounded by J. N. Pearcy, another of the candi dates. Good roads and good schools are of vital importance to the nation. he said. O. M. Plummer, who is seek ing re-election, based his claim for the consideration of the voters largely upon the record of seven years as a member of the board. He declared he would rather be a member of the school board than to hold any other office to which he might be elected by the people of Portland, and he be lieved great opportunity existed to be of influence in the development of the city. F. L. Shull and W. F. Woodward were the last two speakers. Both briefly told of their training and qualifications for membership on the school board.. Mr. Shull character- iWOODARD, CLARKE & CO.

"It appears to me that a commis sioner of the City of Portland should have a sufficient consideration for the Importance or any Industry to hesitate to brand as politics an appli cation for permission to have some modification made of city ordinances that interfere with the progress of an important manufacturing plant." said A. G. Clark, manager of the As sociated Industries of Oregon yester day, referring to the language of City Commissioner BIgelow when William H. Cullers, manager of the Northwest Bridge & Iron company sought a per mit for storage of gasoline. Manufacturers have constantly brought to their attention the fact that many citizens and some public officials do not realize the value of the payroll and that it is the basis of prosperity. The people of Port land are anxious to obtain new in dustries, but every effort should be made to treat those fairly already established and with the same serious consideration that would be given to a new plant. "Gasoline storage is essential to the industry of shipbuilding and the com pany should receive every considera tion. We know the value of ship building as an Industrial asset and also in connection with development of the shipping in which the city is vitally concerned. It is for -all in dustry that I speak in asking that these questions, constantly arising, receive careful and fair consideration. and I am sure many citizens feel as I do regarding the attitude of Com missioner Bigelow in this matter."
