CROOKED GAMBLING
LAYOUT IS ELWELL'S
Marked Cards and Faro Box
Are Considered Clews.
MURDER STILL BAFFLING
JCumcs of Men or Women Playing
for Big Sums With Victim
taught by Investigators.
NEW YORK. July 12. (Special.)
Marked cards and a. crooked faro lay
out which were found in the home of
the murdered Joseph B. Elwell at 244
AVest Seventieth street formed the
basis today of a new theory in this
criminal mystery which has now en
tered upon its second month with the
authorities apparently as far from a
solution as ever.
Jjctectives working on the case let
It become known today that they were
looking for a man who left this city
one or two days after the murder on
June 11. This man is known to have
been one of a Rambling coterie of
which Klwell was a member. They
played at Klwell's house, as indi
cated by the faro layout. The play
ran high.
With the cheating faro layout were
found several decks of playing cards
which had been used and a bundle of
from DO to 100 unusued, unopened
decks.
Cards Declared Crooked.
The cards are fine linen ones, man
ufactured in England, and, to use a
detective's expression, "as crooked as
a dog's hind leg." These cards are
double cheaters in that they can be
read with either eyes or finger tips.
As described by the detectives the
cards are sand marked on the top and
bottom edges of the backs. The sand
marks can be read by a person deal
ing the cards if that person is prac
ticed in the feeling of the marks as
the cards slip through the fingers.
But the cheater i twice protected
because he can also read the backs
of the cards from the same sand
marks. According to the detectives
the victim or victims in this arrange
ment would not have a chance to
win unless it suited the purpose Of
the cheater to permit occasional
winnings in order to strike the vic
tim harder in the end.
Man Sought Meanwhile.
It Is believed by the investigators
that not only were some of the
marked cards used in these high play
frames, but also that one or more
victims may have become "wise," as
the slang term goes. Whether the
arrival of this wisdom would form a
homicidal motive is a point upon
w hich the investigators are speculat
ing. Meanwhile, they are seeking to find
this man, who left the city a day or
two after the murder. They wish to
interrogate him as to the names of
men (or women) who played at
Klwell's crooked faro layout. This
man, as they understand it, knows
the faro coterie thoroughly and
could give the detectives useful in
formation. Stories of Elwell's winnings are
credited from frequent repetition.
Mrs. Helen Derby Elwell, his widow,
said ' in her separation petition a
few years ago that he made money
at cards. She said he won as high
as J30.000 at one sitting. William
Barnes. Elwell's secretary, has said
that his employer won heavily at
cards.
SEATTLE TO GET FUEL OIL
Fcnr Expressed That City Power
Plant Would Have to Close.
SEATTLE, Wash., July 12. Fears
of city officials that a shortage of
fuel oil would necessitate the shut
ting down of the Lake Union munici
pal electric power plant here were
allayed this afternoon by the receipt
of a telegram from Admiral Benson,
chairman of the United States ship
ping board, that the board had au
thorized the charter of the tanker
Pevolente to bring one full load of oil
from California.
The supply, it was estimated, would

IT'S
HARD G
BACK
EAST, SAYS MIRY
Nominee Is Popular With Con
gress and Capital.
SUGAR TO ENTER FIGHT
Oregon Senator Will Spend Sum
mer on Farm, Fall Campaign
ing Throughout State.
No man more popular with all ofi
cial Washington and more beloved by
those in congress who have worked
with him during both war and peace
times could have been named as the
standard-bearer of the republican par
ty this fall than Senator Harding, ac
cording to Senator McNary of Oif gon,
who passed through Portland last
night on his way from Washington
t his home at Salem.
Coming direct from the national
capital after months of strenuous
work in connection with the sugar
investigations and other congressional
work, in connection with reconstruc
tion. Senator. McNary stopped only
between trains in Portland, arriving
here at 7 P. M and leaving at 8 I. M
for his home.
Democrats Like Harding.
"The nomination of Senator Hard
ing was received by eastern and mid
dle western republicans with enthu
siasm," said Senator McNary last
night in discussing the presidential
situation. 'The Ohio senator, In addi
tion to being known as a capable and
hard-working legislator and a man of
rare executive ability, is loved by all
who have had occasion to work with
him, democrats as well as republicans.
"Coming west I found the coun-y
looking in excellent condition, activ
ity and prosperity evident and cr&p
conditions good. I found republican
leaaers everywhere confident of a vic
tory in the fall, although prepared to
put up a lively, campaign for the
ticket."
Back to Farm for Summer.
The farm at Salem will look mighty
good to the Oregon senator after a
most strenuous time at Washington,
he declared, and he expressed his in
tention of remaining there during the
summer and in all probability spend
ing the fall in Salem and throughout
the state aiding in the campaign.
"I was invited by both Chairman
Hays and Senator Harding to aid 'n
the national campaign and stand
ready to do anything I can," he said.
The sugar situation will play an
important part in the campaign, the
senator said, although he was unwill
ing to discuss the sugar matter at
length because of lack of time. Sena
tor McNary was at the head of a com
mittee of the senate to investigate
sugar purchases by the government
and has been one of the leaders in the
fight against unlimited increases in
sugar prices.
HARRISBURGJ3RIDGE LOST
Ferry to BcContlnued on Account
of Fund Shortage.
HAURISBUUG, Or.. July 12. (Spe
cial.) The ferry on the Pacific high
way at this place is not to be re
placed with a bridge for at least two
years, in the opinion of Judge Bown
of Eugene, who was here Saturday.
The present ferry is about all in and
a new one is to be built at once. Here
tofore the current of the Willamette
has furnished the power for eliding
the ferry across the stream but when
the new boat is installed it will be
equipped with an engine and propel
lor, which, it is said, will save at
least half the time in crossing.
Local people had hoped work on a
bridge would be . commenced this
year, in view of the recent decision
of the highway commission which
established the route through Harris
burg. The reason for not doing so
is said to be due to the difficulty of
disposing of bonds.

Forest Patrol Aviators Say Plane
Is Beyond Repair.
ROSERTTRfV Or .TnW 1 ! rsnalal
T-Cadet Heyers.aiid Observer Davis,
occupants of the forest patrol plane
wrecked in the Umpqua national for
est, arrived in Roseburg late this aft
ernoon. According to the aviators,
they were flying at an elevation of
about 9000 feet when the engine of
the machine suddenly stopped, forc
ing them to make a hurried landing,
and in doing so tore off the left wing
of the plane and otherwise wrecked
the framework beyond repair. The
motor and instruments in the machine
will be taken out in sections and with
a pack train brought to this city by
way of Diamond lake. In speaking
of their accident the aviators said:
"It was a new experience to us.
but we consider ourselves lucky to
be alive. A trip in the Umpqua for

be dumped from the heavens without
a moment's notice and landing in the

RESERVOIR AWAITS FUNDS
FEDERAL EXPERTS' REPORT
FAVORS BIG PROJECT.
$1,000,000 to Be Co&t of System
Designed to Irrigate 2 00,000
Acres of Land.
SALEM. Or., July 12. (Special.)
Actual construction of the Benham
falls reservoir and dam, which will
provide means for irrigating more
than 8000 acres of land included in
what is known as the Deschutes proj
ect, will start as soon as plans for
financing the Improvement can be
formulated, according to announce
ment made today by Percy Cupper,
state engineer.
The report of W. O. Crosby of
Washington, who is connected with
the United States reclamation service,
shows that the reservoir site is prac
tical and that the proposed location
of the dam is satisfactory. This re
port was received at the offices of the
state engineer here today.
A number of years ago the state
and government appropriated $100,000
for - the investigation of irrigation
projects in Oregon, and a large part
of this money was expended In mak
ing a survey of the Deschutes district.
Since that time the north unit and
Tumalo districts have been organ
ized. The north unit district has voted
approximately $5,000,000 of bonds for
development work, of which sum $50.
000 bonds have actually been issued.
The Tumalo district has about 8000
acres of land under irrigation.
The entire Deschutes project 'con
tains more than 200.000 acres, much
of which is unproductive at the pres
ent time because of insufficient water.
The reservoir, it is estimated, will
cost $1,000,000.
Unless delayed in selling bonds, be
cause of the present unfavorable con
dition of the financial market, actual
work should get under way this year,
according to Mr. Cupper.

WOMEN TO SEE HARDING
Clement Scores Federal Agents
Whom He Says Forced Amend
ments Through Legislatures.
PENSACOLA, Fla., July 12. Gov
ernor Catta has refused to call a spe
cial session of the Florida legislature
to act on woman suffrage, local suf
frage leaders announced tonight.
They said the governor contended
such action would be useless.
RUTLAND, Vt., July 12. Governor
Percival W. Clement today issued a
proclamation refusing to call the leg
islature in special session to make
possible ratification of the federal
amendment for woman suffrage.
The governor's proclamation fol
lowed a conference which he held at
Washington recently with Senator
Harding, at which it Is understood
the republican nominee for president
discussed with him the possibility of
having ratification accepted by the
republican legislature of Vermont..
In giving his reasons for again re
fusing to call a special session, Gov
ernor Clement said the proposed
amendment clearly invades the con
stitution of Vermont; that the pres
ent legislature was elected before the
question of ratifying the federal
amendment had arisen and that the
people of the state had no opportu
nity to express themselves on the
issue.
The governor proposed that the
matter be taken up by the next legis
lature, and urged that candidates for
election be requested to declare them
selves on It.
Governor Clement's proclamation
asserted that "as it stands and is in
terpreted by the supreme court today,.
the federal constitution threatens the
foundation of free popular govern
ment."
The 16th amendment to the consti
tution, he said, had been lobbied
through congress and state legisla
tures by federal agents and the 18th
amendment had been forced through
bv "powerful and irresponsible or
ganizations. operating through paid
agents, with unlimited funds.
"It is now proposed to force
through the 19th amendment for
woman suffrage in the same manner,
and also without the sanction of free
men.
"I have been asked to overlook
these considerations as a matter of
oartv expediency, but this is a mat
tpr of principle, not expediency, and
the party that invades a well-estab
llshed principle of popular govern
ment will suffer in the end."

Carrie Chapman Catt. president of
the National American woman suf
fraere association, today issued the
following statement:
"It it is correctlv quoted the oe
cision of Governor Clement is so con
trary to the dictates of justice, com
mon sense and political expediency
that it convinces me that there is a
sinister and far-reaching influence
behind it. To uncover that influence
is one of the immediate tasks of the
suffragists.
"like work of ratification will oe

WOMEX TO SEE HARDING
Governor Clements' Action Not Ac-
ceptetl as Uelng Final.
WASHINGTON, July 12. The Na

day that Governor Clements' refusal
to call the Vermont state assembly
in special session for suffrage rati
fication would not be accepted as
final and that an even larger delcga-r
tion than had been planned would call
on Senator Harding, republican presi
dential nominee, at Marion July 22

Heud of National Savc-llic-Snrface
Campaign Addresses IxonI
Paint and Varnish Men.
The need of education and propa
ganda in connection with the promo
tion of sales In the paint industry
was emphasized by Phillips Wymun
of Philadelphia, manager of the na
tional ave-the-surface campaign,
addressing the local organization of
painters and varnlshers at the Ben
son hotel last night.
Mr. Wymun told of the organization
and expansion of the paint industry
during the past year or two, largely
through organized effort In the save-the-surface
campaign. Figures were
quoted to show that the industry had
increased by 00 per cent within the
past year.
Retailers throughout the country
regard paint as a side line purely, a
line with a slow turnover and a high
overhead, he declared. This, he said,
was largely due to lack of education
and advertising of the industry.
Figures were Introduced to show that
deterioration caused four times as
much property loss as fire.
After the lecture illustrated slides
were thrown upon the screen, depict
ing graphically the damage done
through lack of paint and varnish.
Much of the matter used in the na
tional advertising campaign, which
reaches the public through periodicals
with a Combined subscription of
6,000.000 a month, was shown.
More than 80 members of the local
association were present, including
many out-of-town representatives of
Portland companies. .J. P. Rasmussen
was chairman of the meeting. ,

IN LOSS OF HAIR
Chicago Specialist Says
Proper Care Would Pre
vent Many Cases of
Baldness
The mere use of the comb and
brush three or four times a day is
not sufficient attention to pay to one
of nature's most wonderful gifts, sayi
Prof. Jchn H. Austin. bacterfoloRist.
hair and ?calp specialist of Chicago,
who now has offices at the Owl Drug
company.
Uoth men and women owe It to
themselves to keep their hair healthy,
beautiful and abundant and the
j proper corrective treatment of scalp'
disorders will do this.
Nature's signs of disease dan
druff, itching- scalp, falling hair, dry
or brittle hair warn you of approach
ins baldness. Do not wait a day
see Prof. Austin, over 40 years a spe
cialist he will advise you what to
do.
By showing- you the roots of your
own hair, magnified thousands of
ttmts. pointing- out to you the para
sites that are destroying your hair
day by day. gradually killing every
root, until, in time, the head becomes
entirely bald, you will be convinced
that any delay may be deeply re
gretted. Prof. Austin says the use
of mange cures, dandruff cures, hair

without knowing what you are try
ing to cure.
