Alibi of Murder Suspect Fades.
Girl Refuses Support.
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., June 22.
(Special.) Ely Hope Anderson flatly
denied today at her home in Minne
apolis that she was with Victor von
Schlegell in his New York apartment
between late evening of June 10 and
the mornlngr of June 11. when J. B.
Elwell, New York millionaire and
turfman, of whose death Von Schle
ttell is suspected, was found dying in
his home. She admits she had break
fast with him early the morning of
June 11.
Miss Anderson was discovered to
day in Minneapolis after a week-long
search that covered half the United
States. She is the "mystery woman'
in the Elwell case, upon whom Vic
tor von Schlegell is depending to sup
port the alibi he has given in an ef
fort to discountenance the police sus
picion that he is implicated in the
killing of Elwell.
She arrived here June 14 from New
York, where she studied from Octo
ber last to June under Mme. Sem-
brtch of the Metropolitan Opera com
pany. It is Von Schlegell's assertion
that he took Miss Anderson to the
Itttz-Carlton on the evening of June
10 and that there they met Elwell;
that they left to go to his apartment,
where they spent the night, and that
they had breakfast in his apartment
in the morning.
Miss Anderson admits the breakfast,
but denies being with Von Schlegell
after the time they left the Riti-1
Carlton. Upon her evidence the New
York police are depending to prove
the truth of Von Schlegell's alleged
alibi.
Elwell was found dying, wounded
through the forehead, in his New
York apartment on the morning of
June 11. The police have particularly
sought out Voif Schlegell's possible
connection with the crime because on
the preceding night Von Schlegell
with Miss Anderson, met Elwell and
Von Schlegell's divorced wlfo at the
Ritz-Carlton roof garden.
Other theories advanced have been
that Elwell was slain by some man
from whom he had won large sums
of money in the "sky-limit" bridge
games for which he was notorious or
by a man or woman whom he had
wronged in one of his "heart affairs,"
for which he was equally well known.
"I can't believe Mr. von Schlegell
eaid I was with him through the
night of June 10," Miss Anderson said.
She is a pretty girl of a distinctly
Norse type, tall, stately, golden
haired and with a richly modulated
contralto voice which takes on color
ful tones when she is excited.
"Of course I was with him in the
evening and I had breakfast with him
the following morning. He had asked
me to do that because Friday was to
be my last morning in New York. I
was to leave then for my home in
Minneapolis, and I consented because
we had been good friends. I had
known him since February, when I
met him at a tea at the home of Mrs.
Esther J-.ee Sutton, 72$ Madison ave
nue. New York City. After our Intro
duction we became good friends be
cause we both loved music We went
frequently to concerts and musicales."
Miss Anderson emphatically denied
tht their acquaintance had ever gone
'beyond the platonic stage. She de
clared Von Schlegell had been almost
a "friend of the family" and that he
had met her father, Charles A. Ander
son. Minneapolis merchant, when the
latter was in New York visiting his
daughter.
The New York police are mistaken
in their version of Von Schlegell's
statements or they have forced him
to make some untrue statement. "I
am certain he never would have said
what they said he did except under
compulsion, she declared.
Miss Anderson completely exoner
ated Von Schlegell of the death of
Elweu. .
"He never harbored any Ill-will
against Mr. Elwell because he became
intimate with Miss Kraus following
her appeal for a divorce. He used to
Joke to me about the number of times
we ran across Mr. Elwell and Miss
Kraus when we were at concerts and
In cafes. When we met them at the
RJts-Carlton the night of June 10 lie
laughed and said to me 'it seemed as
though he couldn't get separated from
Miss Kraus even though the law had
riven him the privilege. He took the
meeting in perfect good humor and
he and Mr. Elwell exchanged brief
inenaiy greetings. v

SAN ANTONIO. Tex., June 22. The
democratic party in Its platform to
be adopted at the San Francisco con
vention must take an "open, honest
stand on great issues confronting the
country, and above all, avoid '.pussy
footing,' " Albert S. Burleson, post
master-general, declared here today.
He is on his way to San Francisco as
a delegate from Texas.
Mr. Burleson said he was In favor
of modifying the "drastic and absurd
provisions" of the Volstead prohibi
tion enforcement act, opposed to gov
ernment ownership, excepting the
telegraph and telephone lines, and
that he was against measures deny
ing labor the right to strike.
Mr. Burleson said the democratic
convention must come out openly and
declare "our real feeling and belief
on prohibition, government owner
ship, labor questions, soldier bonus
and, most Important of all, the cove
nant of the league of nations."
Purpose Held Defeated.
The postmaster-general declared he
would vote for "repeal of the drastic
and absurd provisions of the Volstead
act if I were the rankest prohibition
ist in Texas." Some of the act's pro
visions are "so foolish that they de
feat their own purpose," he said.
SAN FRANCISCO. June 22. Postmaster-General
Burleson's statement
today at San Antonio regarding dem
ocratic platform issues drew particu
lar attention among party leaders
already on the ground for the na
tional convention next week because
of its frank declaration for modifi
cation of the Volstead prohibition en
forcement act.
Views Perhaps Significant.
Mr. Burleson's demand for repeal
'of "drastic and absurd" provisions
of the act expressed in more direct
fashion the views which some of the
party leaders now here had previously
voiced privately. Coming from a
member of President Wilson's cab
inet, the statement was regarded as
a possible intimation of the admin
istration's attitude on the prohibition
issue before the convention.
Senator Glass of Virginia, who is
due here tomorrow, is understood to
have been intrusted with a formal ex
pression of President Wilson's views
as to the platform. On other occa
6 ions, however, tne postmaster-general
has been the direct spokesman
for the president on important issues,
and democrats here were inclined to
take his expression as to the prohibi
tion plank as more than a statement
of his own views.
Platform Fight Asavred.
The preliminary convention discus
sion in progress here, while wholly
informal in character, has shown a
striking unanimity of opinion on two
points thus far. The first of these is
that the platform struggle will be
the real fight of the convention; the
second that the prohibition plank
will be the chief issue in that fight.
outrivaling the league of nations dec
laration in interest among delegates.
On the league issue W. J. Bryan is
already standing directly opposed to
President Wilson's views as to party
attitude. That dates back v to the
Jackson day dinner, when Mr. Wilson
urged that the democrats enter the
campaign on the issue of ratification
of the league covenant without ma
terial reservation. The former secre
tary, of Btate stood just as strongly
for acceptance of the republican sen
ate reservations as a basis for rati
fication and in" order to keep the
league covenant out of the campaign.
Clash Easily Possible.
If Mr. Burleson's statement is to
be accepted as representing the pres
ident's views on prohibition, delegates
said, it was now evident that Bryan
and the administration forces were
to clash over that plank in the party
platform..
Mr. Bryan s views have been fuliy
known to be rigidly against any
weakening of the prohbiition laws.
There is also, it was said, a third
point on which the president and his
former secretary of state might lock
horns at the convention. It was re
called that when the president asked
congress for authority to accept a
mandate Over Armenia under the
league of nations, Mr. Bryan prompt
ly issued a statement in flat opposi
tion to sucn a programme. nas
been regarded as possible that the
president might seek to have the
convention indorse his course as to
Armenia, and if so. It was said, the
Nebraska leader could be expected to
exert his influence against such action.
Leaden Expected Soom.
Pending arrival of Senator Glass.
Mr. Burleson and Mr. Bryan, all of
whom will reach here this week the
few party leaders and delegates al
ready on the ground have been ex
changing only gossipy comment and
expressions of personal opinion on
issues to come up. There have been
no conferences as yet and there is
still little activity among workers
for various candidates for the presi
dential nomination to distract atten
tion from the platform outlook.
Headquarters for John W. Davis of
West Virginia were opened today and
the first literature in behalf of the
claims-of candidates was put out by
his supporters. Some poster work
for Governor Edwards of New Jer
sey also was done, supplementing the
work for Attorney-General Palmer,
but Presidential Row has not as yet
become even a shadow of what it will
be or of what it was during the re
publican, convention at Chicago.
In any event there Is little posst"
bility that candidates' headquarters
will take as prominent a part in the
San Francisco convention as was the
case at Chicago.

McCombs' Criticism of Executive I
Held Not Important-
SAN FRANCISCO. June 22. The
statement of William F. McCombs of
New York, former chafrman of the
democratic -national convention, that
President Wilson's assumption of au
thority had been "autocratic" was
termed today by Homer Cummings,
present chairman of the national com
mittee, as "one of thone sporadic crit-1
icisms that are a negligible factor in
our affairs."
"Questions as to the leadership of
the president answer themselves, Mr.
Cummings said. ."The character of
such leadership depends upon the
vitality of the man who is president.
Mr. Wilson is a very vital leader and
his greatness will be more universally
recognized in the next deca.de than
perhaps it is now. .

playing to the great excitement of
the populace, "There'll Be a Hot Time
In the Old Town Tonight." Allah be
praised! After the events of Sunday
night. Monday night and last night it
must be conceded that the long-expected
hot time has already been had.
Any local band that plays this ancient
tune in the future will have to put
it in the past tense.
It would be supposed that after
traveling anywhere from a couple of
hundred to 4000- miles, marching all
over town when they got here, sere
nading all night and then taking part
in two long parades yesterday, at
loast a few Shrine bands and patrols
would be ready to take a quiet nap.
If last night is their idea of a nap
it would be a great pity to let them
sleep.
These snriners certainly nave
earned all long-distance band-play
ing apd patrol-parading endurance
records. It was estimated by one
Shriner band man yesterday that
since arriving in Portland he had
walked the equivalent of twice the
length of the Pacific highway from
th Canadian line to the Mexican bor
der, and blown enough music,' if
canned, to play one phonograph rec
ord for SCO years. Lid he call it i
day and lay off last nlghtT He did
not. After toting and playing a huge
horn through the electrio parade, he
marched down town again and start
ed some jazz music in Sixth street.
The residents of our noble town are
actually becoming spoiled by this all
night concert stuff. If a man wakei
up at 3 o'clock In the morning now
and doesn't hear a band somewhere
on the corner, he starts crabbing he

The Shriners have started so much

well, even a Shrine band has to
quit, sometime, though nobody has as
yet discovered what they call quit

o'clock this morning . most of the
bands had stopped playing, tempo
rarily at least. Did peace and quiet
settle down upon a sleeping city?
No, gentle reader, peace and quiet
did not. From a side street there
came upon the scene a little group
of bandmen and . patrollers. Each
band man wore the uniform of a dif
ferent band. There were a couple
of horns, three snare drums and a
big bass drum in the outfit.
