visit by a man and a woman to the
,rr, f inRPDh B. Elwell, sportsman
anfl whist expert, last Friday, the
morning of his murder, was under
investigation by the police today,
seeking to unravel the mystery which
- hna hnfMt all inauiry.
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."

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

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

from Paris finally in July last that
the people of not only America, but
of the entire" world, are in favor of the

they would not approve, with their

Credit for Publicity Feature

"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."

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.

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

qualifications for membership on the

"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.

I do regarding the attitude of Com
