INGTON BUREAU OK THE JOUR
NAL.) Senator -McNary, "leader
ameng T.he mild reservation Repub
licans In the eenate. in an Interview
riven The. Journal today, .declares
the Republican platform is not in
consistent with the approval of the
League of Nations, with the Lodge
reservations, and indicated that he
will continue to support the league
on that basis, . '
This is McNary's first public express
si on of his views concerning the Chi
cago.' platform. He laid that platform
alongside, the Democratic platform Just
adopted iat San Franciaco and his in
terview covers both.
! The Democrats, he holds, sustain . the
president's position against reservations
hat would alter the treaty in substance,
lie concludes the issue is between this
declaration and the reservations favored
by a majority of the senate. "
DEMOCRATIC PLAJfX CLSAR
Opinion in Washington seems unanU
tnous as to the meaning of the Demo
cratic plank on the league.- It is ac
cepted as a complete indorsement of the
president's position.- - There is disagree
ment among the Republicans aa to the
meaning of their " platform, however.
Mild reservationists like McNary . and
strong reservationists like Smoot assert
the door is "yet open for ratification,
with reservations. Separatists Use Knox
Contend that the Republican pathway U
10 amputate the league from the treaty
rith an ax and then negotiate for a
purely Judicial form of interest agree
ment for settlement of deputes, - Irrec
Oncilables like Borah nraintain that the
platform rejects the Idea of a league
f ntlrely.
JTAITIXC FOR HAROl.VC, SPEECH .
; All factions are waiting with anxiety
What Harding will say in 'bis speech
f acceptance. , "
; Senator McNary - n an interview to-,
sight said: , , - . , '. -;,
i "The national conventions of the two
great parties in writing their respective
platforms have made the issue clear with
respect to the treaty of peace, and the
covenant of Leaguer of Nations.
! "The Republican party , denounces the
ffctfWAn lift In t V A AWm, I-'
by the president to the senate, although
the parly acclaims the principles of the
league or preferably some institution.
Judicial in. character, calculated to as
sure the peace of the world. The .dec
laration In the platform' does not sug
gest that - the covenant1 of the league
could not be altered 'by reservations so
tjiat it . would ; embrace , the easentlal
principles contained in the covenant
without the compromise of national , ln
" dependence. . ' .
' "l capnot read Into the platform the
thought that the treaty ngree unf f at J
Versailles must ba totally rejiifctd tada
a new treaty negotiated. ucn a con
struction in my opinion would be unfor-
Sunate and would ba giving plain lan--uage
a shameful miaeonconstruction.
The principles announced .in the plat
form can find welcome repose in the
treaty aa modified and clarified by the
reservations engrafted upon the. treaty
by vote of a large majority ' of the
senate. . ,
ISSCE REMAINS SAME
! "The Democratic platform affirms and
reassures ine position or 1'resldent WiJ
n that the treaty must not be altered
lt substance, but Its provisions may be
explained and made more certain by res
ervations that do not in their nature
change the meaning or the purposes of
. the treaty and the league covenant.
Clearly the Democratic platform only
vwiwmpinies reservations mat are -n-terpretaClve
and forbids those that are
modifying. -
"It is my bumble Judgment that the
platforms of the two parties leave the
issue precisely as made in the senate,
namely, the Republican party declaring
gainst the treaty as submitted by the
president and advocating agreement
among the nations to preserve peace in
the manner accomplished by the senate
reservations, and the Democratic party
urging the treaty and league substan
tially; as conceived by the president and
adopted by the peace conference.
. . "While I deplore the situation' that
makes America's participation in world
affairs partisan question; I rejoice that
the issue, how far we shall go abroad,
is squarely before the voters of the coun
try, and when once decided I hope it
may become purely an American policy,
and not a principle of political expedi
ency. ) , ' .

THREE DOUBTFUL
STATES
North Dakota,1 ; Minnesota and
Wisconsin Worry G. 0 P.
i Leaders. " "
i
Washington, July 3. (WASHING
TON BUREAU I OF THE JOUR
NAD One of the substantial wor
ries of the Republican managers Is
the doubt surrounding, three states
of the Middle West North Dakota,
Minnesota and Wisconsin. 1 Xll three
are disorganized from a party stand
point. North Dakota and Minnesota
by the ;Kon-prtisan league, and
Wisconsin by La Toilette and the
league sentiment. . i'
These states : are usually counted
safely Republican, though Minnesota
was saved .to Hughes by only- few
hundred votes four years ago. Harding
needa them all to offset what he may
lose elsewhere, and any. one of them
would be a good pickup for the Demo
crats, who do not usually look for help
In that section. ' I ,
HARDKNG'S CHAXCE. KXM . '
Harding, who stands strongly against
government ownership and wants gov
ernment to let business alone, is of an
opposite school from the Non-partisan
league, which has captured the Repub
lican organization in North Dakota and
came within 8500 votes of nominating
its candidate for governor in the Minne-
mn' Republican (primaries. Hardings
will have bo help from the league leadi
era and there is no telling where the
league vote wHJ go. - !
. If a third ticket is put in the field
under the guidance of the committee
of 48 or aimilar auspices, it is likely to
draw a large share of the normal Re
publican vote in these states, to the
great danger of Harding. '
GROJfXA IS FACTOR
In North Dakota Senator Gronna has ;
to fight for reelection against a league
candidate, though his course in the sen
ate seemed In general to invite the
league's support. .Gronna has not been
heard from since the convention, but it
is considered certain that he' w,ill take
his queue from La Follette, whose
devoted follower he is.
Wisconsin presents a puzzle for the
Republican managers, who have . the
double task of carrying the state for
Harding and returning Irvine L, Len-s
root to the senate. La Follette has de
clared war on Lenroot,, and the La FoU '
lette delegation in the national conven-
t ion refused even to support Lenroot for
vice president when the senatorial clique .
tried td put him on the ticket with Hard,
ing. I ; . 1 . . ; - V
LESROT IS OPPOSEtt
TThat would have been one way to
dispose of . Lenroot as a senatorial can,
dldate, but the La Follette people want
to eliminate Lenroot altogether. Their
temper was further shown when the La
Follette delegates at Chicago lustily
shouted "no't when a motion was made
to declare the nomination of Harding
unanimous, i '" . -
It is not generally believed that La.
Follette will' accept a third party nomi,
nation, believing that would be futile.
He is . more likely ; to perform as he did
in; the- Taft campaign, remaining silent
on the national ticket and devoting his
energies to the, defeat , of, Lenroot and
the election of his personally selected
state ticket. whlcM would be pf greatest
benefit, to secure his own reelection -to
the senate two years hence.
UKUOCHAT1C" CHASCE SEES;
This bitter fight on Lenroot and the
state ticket, with om"y passive attention
to the national ticket, may let the. -Demo
cratic presidential candidate allp through
the lines and swing Wisconsin away from
Harding. The Republican congressional
committee, is greatly interested In Len
root,.5 and will aid mm as rar as possioie,
yet' desires to avoid open, conflict with
La Follette. who has helped the Repuhli-
caa 1 organization, to control the senate
ever since the organization .Kiuea on me

alleged disloyal speech ' during the war.

Patrolman Sorenson, who reported the
story at. police headquarters, has pieced
together , statements that describe the
assailant as. a man of medium height,
about 30 years old,; roughly clad in
khaki coveralls and wearing a black
hat.
The Donald child, her brother, Melvin.
and two little cousins, were approaching
the Forestry building when a man spoke
to them, saying he knew, where berries
were to be found. In a thickly-wooded
spot to which he enticed, them, the
children declare, the man grasped Eve

playmates. Cries from the ".other children-are
thought to . have frightened
him away, although . the child says she
suffered at his hands.
PLATFORM IN GREAT
IT
(Continued Prom Fix Om.)
pletion of his strength began, rumors
went constantly through, the auditorium
to the effect that a, big break in his
forces might come at any . time. It
was known that South : Carolina and
Kansas, both voUng under the unit rule,
held to AlcAdoo by the 'slender threads
of one majority in the ' South Carolina
delegation, and a majority of only half
a vote in the 20 votes of Kansas. ;
A change of these votes to Cox
might haye started a general holt from
McAdoo and have resulted, in a quick
epding of I the struggle. Tlia Oregon
delegation came at a significant point
On the rollcall and the announcement
of s. that vote along with the votes of
South Carolina and . Texas'-, always
brought a 'shout from ! the galleries.
Twelve thousand people sat through
the long hours of ballotine tedav with
little to reward them for going without
lunch and for the long period-of con
finement The Cox men! staged two
or three demonstrations in an ffort
to 'stampede the convention. . but oniv
a tew of the delegations joined in the
marcn and the spurts were of short
duration. . ;
The advent of the dark horse was
expecteq all afternoon. Ever since the
McAdoo demonstration., on the day the
names were placed before the conven
tion, when the greater strength of Me.
Adoo was revealed - to the delegates. It
has been McAdoo against the field,
with the field seeking to combine
against the former secretary of the
treasury. To kill off the leading man
was the desire of the candidates, near
candidates and candidates-in-waiting.
The rule was invoked as soon as Cox
took the lead. It is a cutthroat busi
ness by. which the time aod the place
is prepares ror the dark charger to
vault into the convention hall and
start the fireworks, the handkerchiefs
and the waving hands. - John W. Davis
of West Virginia has been quietly
talked pf as the great possibility for
two or three days. He is the man
whose nomination - was J ' seconded by
Isetta Jewel ; Brown; formerly t of
Portland, a few days ago. , '

phases of the mystery.
Mrs. Wllmerding. it was learned to

weekend holiday before she could be
reached by the district attorney with .a
request that she appear at his office
and be questioned. It was said, how

upon her return to the city early next

SEW WOAIAJf iy CASE
A new woman a woman so fascinated
by Elwell that she trailed hint even to
public restaurants - was brought Into
the murder mystery today by Adolph
Prosenitz, former maitre dliotel in the
Hotel Belvedere. Baltimore, and later
proprietor of the Cafe,,, Caluna in , the
same city. . .
- "He seepted to - have an irresistible
something . that attracted women,"
declared. "Any . number of curious la
dles called me - to their tables and
quite frankly expressed interest in him.
That was . particularly so in the case
of a ' young society woman -a very
beautiful young , woman -who . made no
secret of her fascfhation.
"This young woman would come to
the hotel almost nightly, alone, and
would occupy a. small table she -had re
served and which commanded the table
Where Elwell and sometimes his friend
and racing partner,' Pendleton, would
dine..
ELM-ELL ISDIFFEKE5T
"Elwell was - indiftexent. as usual.
Finally the lady came to me . and de
manded to knew who he was. I told
her he. was a racing man, arid, I
thought, wealthy. ;
"gh she said, you have forgotten
the most important thing of all. Is be
married? ' . . .
"I told her, I did not know, and she
begged me to find out.. She offered
tp pay me. She was of such apparent
breeding that I was astonished. A few
days later ishe came to the hotel one
morning apd called me outside. She
said. 'Have you found out yet whether
he is a married man T I told her I
had been unable to learn. . Of course,
I had made no real effort. . . .
" 'Are you a married map.? she asked.
"I told her was..
Then you must help me-. Can't you
understand ? I am madly in love with
mm. He is the most wonderful looking
man ; J have ever seen. :
WOTJLB BE LIKE PUTTT "
"I knew then that she would be putty
In Mr. Elwell'a hands. That evening
Mr. Elwell called me over to bis table
and ordered a bottle of champagne and
two glasses sent up to- his room. He
gave me the key to his. room and I sent
the wine up by one of the waiters.
"Neither Mr. Elwell nor the lady ever
said anything to me about their affair
after that, but I knew that he had 'con
sented' to 'permit' her to, bask in his
wonderful .smile."
The restauranteur added that he was
convinced Elwell was killed ; through a
grudge by a woman or over a woman.
The bootlegging clue in the , Elwell
case again took the center 6T the stage
today when Prohibition Enforcement
Agent Shevltn announced that he would
soon have 'startling disclosures" to
make, which would have an Important
bearing on Elweli's activities shortly
before his death and might cast some
light on . his murder;
Assistant District Attorney John T.
Dooling said that members Jof the pro
hibition enforcement force had fur
nished him with some highly important
information. What these developments-
tn the "whiskey ring" investigation are
could not be learned. :
TWO PERSONS srMMQ'ED
The prohibition enforcement agent to
day issued "peremptory requests" lor
at least two peruana to appear, at his
office next Tuesday morning In connec
tion with the booze angle of the EiweU
case. ' ' '
"Investigators' intimated today that
one man who received large, quantities
of liquor through Elwsll'a. associates
would be known to nearly every New
Yorker, if his name were mentioned.
This man, they said, would be ques-s
tloned, together with others prominent
in the ''sporting fraternity," who were
connected with the illicit transactions.
Another question which continued to
occupy the attention of. ona branch ef
the investigating .forces was that of a
second will. ' :
