Bell, aged 51, committed suicide In a small wooden building in the rear of her home at about 8:30 o'clock last night. Deputy Sheriff Sam Burk- hart, who investigated the case, stated today that there Is no ques tion but that the case was genuine suicide. It is stated that probably no inquiest will be held, although Lloyd Rigdon, county coroner, is now in Portland and will decide definitely upon his return to Sa lem. The small wooden house in which Mrs. Bell committed suicide had been formerly used as a chicken house. The place Is located In the northeastern part of Salem, near the Intersection of Park street and Garden road. The woman, used a .44 calibre revolver with which to effect her purpose, placing the muzzle Just above the right ear. Tho bullet emerged from her head through the left eye, having still sufficient force to pierce an inch board that formed the wall of the building. The bullet was later found lodged in a scatllng outside the house. Immediately previous to her act Mrs. Bell had written a letter to a niece in which no mention was made of her intended act. Funeral services will be held here Friday afternoon. THE MS OF PLANES IN RACE Baltimore, Md.. Oct. 22.

OH' 23 1JJ.?5 LIBRARY FROM ENTRY TO Wife of Former President of Hungary, Denied Permission To Visit the United States to Lecture Washington, Oct. 22 AP) Countess Karolyi, wife of Count Michael Karolyi, former president of the Hungarian republic, has been denied permission to visit the United Slates on. a lecture tour. The American counsul general in Paris refused to approve her pass ports and the action has been ap proved by the state department The refusal was based upon the laws which bars persons of known revolutionary views. In approving the consul general's action the state department acted in line with the policy adopted when S. Saklatlava, communist member of the British parliament, was refused admission as a dele gate to tho recent meeting of the inter-parliamentary union, in the Saklatlava case a passport visa had been granted but was cancelled by order of Secretary Kellogg, who maintained that under the Immigra tlon law the communist could not be admitted. The ruling in the case of Countess Karolyi Is similar and represents a definite policy on the part of the administration. Denied Admission Presumably the Karolyi case would have come under the Jur isdiction of the immigration bureau on the arrival of the countess at an American port, even if the passport visa had been granted in Paris. The labor department Issued a statement In connection with the Saklatvnla case, saying that he would have been denied admission at New York because of his revo lutionary political activities even if ho had arrived with passports bear lng the visa of an American consul. County Karolyi was allowed to enter this country several months ago, after he had pledged himself to refrain from political activities. Efforts were made at the time to have the stnte department formally announce that he was free to talk as ho wished, but these overtures came to nothing. Ralph B. Strassburger, a repub lican leader in Pennsylvania, call ed at the White House today with the Intention of asking President Cool id ge to Interceded In behalf of Countess Karolyi. After seeing the president, how ever, he had no comment to make aa to his conference. He said the countess was to have been the guest of Mrs. Strossburgcr and him self at their farm In Pennsylvania. Mr. Strassburger had conferred recently with Secretaries Kellogg nnd Mellon concerning the Karo lyi incident and has announced that he will also see Chairman Borah of the senate foreign rela tions committee. Bakersficld, Cal. S h o t n n squads of police officers in four automobiles will patrol this city In an effort to curb the wave of petty crime.

Woman praying in the salon as they put on life belts, an orchestra of three musicians playing jazz to keep up morale, men passengers "meddling with the officers' work and playing cavaliers Instead of men of help," Invasion of the boat deck by men and women passen- ;ers before the lifeboats were ready these were some of the epi sodes described by the returning crew members. James C. Wilkie, second steward of the Comanche said the fire was discovered amidship after a negro steward had noticed the deck was getting hot. A deck plank was rip ped away, revealing t'-at the fire already had made great headway. Members of tho crew immediately began fighting tho flames with hose. He said the captain gave orders to man the lifeboats within a few minutes after the fire was discov ered.

Emphatic denial that there Je any immediate possibility of mov ing Kimball college of theology from balem to Seattle, or any prou ability that the school will ever be moved there, was made this morn ing by Dr. E. S. Hammond, mati ber of uhe faculty of the school, just returned from a conference of Methodist officials at Seattle. President Donty of Willamette university and President Hickman of Kimball college also attended the conferenco which considered the question of moving the local theological school. The morning the party arrived in Seattle, according to Dr. Ham mond, and before the group had met at all, the Seattle morning pa- per had a large front page article to the effect that it had been de cided to move liiiuball college t ?i.hat city. Accounts Erroneous. "The paper had it that Kimball college is a Portland institution of 50 students, uaiu Dr. Hammond this morning, "and that decision had already been made to move the school from Portland to Seat tle due to the superior advantages of tho ruget Sound city." As a matter of fact Kimball has been located at Salo;n for nearly 20 years and has never had more than 25 regular regular students. At present there are 17 regular stu dents enrolled and 42 others, most of them Willamette university stu dents. - If decision is ever made to move Kimball college the decision can only be made by the board of trustees of that Institution, D Hammond points out. No group of men such as met at Seattle y3 terday has the authority to order a removal of the school from one city to another. '- Turpi v AdvisOrv.

The motorship Quitchdown, believed to have been loaded to her scupper tops with what is now known as "real" Scotch, sailed right into San Francisco harbor today, turned around and sailed right out again, and all under escort of the coast guard. The rum chaser No. 2C6, bob bing around In the roadstead off the Golden Gate, sighted the Quitchowan at dawn. She had been long -sought as a rum runner. The little chaser took her In as a prize and put all of her crew un der arrest. Once in the port the skipper of the Quitchowan asserted himself. He talked hard and fast. He said that he had been taken outside tho 12 mile limit and he proved It. There was nothing for tho 255 to do but escort the Quitchowan back to sea again which the little chaser did gallantly to tho accom paniment of a rollicking drinking chantey from the hurricane deck of the late prize.

Sooner Or Later City To Own Water Plant Says Percy Cupper "Sooner or later Salem Is going to own its own water system," ercy Cupper, former state engin eer, and now a private water en gineer living In thiA city, stated In ipeech before the Marlon-Polk County llpaltoni association thin noon. "We have really only one question before us, not 'will the system be taken over?' but 'when will It he taken over?' The main fault found by Cupper with a privately owned water plant was that "no private concern can go forward with a, far reaching plan, such as Knlem needs, when confronted constantly by the pos sibility of being tuken over by the city. Most cities own their own water systems today, nnd where they do not there In always a con statu clement of uncertainty, caus ed by an agitation for a munlcl pally owned system nn agitation which Is bound to exist."

The proposal suggested a rate of one per cent on the first $3000 of taxable Income, 2 per cent on the next $1000, 3 per cent on th next $4000 and 5 per cent thcro- aftcr. This arrangement, the secretin,' said in a letter to Chairmin Green, probably would bo "more satisfactory" thnn the recently submitted treasury schedule sug gesting one per cent on the first $3000 of taxable Income, 3 per cent on the next $4000 and 5 per cent thereafter.

After testifying to considerable length while he was on the stand this morning nnd yesterday after noon Ellsworth Kelley, codefend ant with James WHlos on trial for the murder of Guard John Sweeney at the stnte penitentiary, this morn Ing testified that he had had "an understanding with Warden Day- rymple" that ho (Kelley) was not to be confined to the bull pen at tne prison without cause and not on unconfirmed information fui nlshed by other convicts. The weight of Kelley's testimony up to that time had been to tho ef fect that two shots had been fired Into the bull pen whilo ho was con fined there; that to his knowledge other shots had been tired without Justification by guards at convicts in those cells; that ho and c 'cr convicts had bene slated to be shot upon the first provocation, and that ho was in constant fear of be ing thrown Into the bull pen where he might be shot. Not In Hull Pen It was brought out in the evi dence by the district attorney that Kelley's alleged agreement with the warden was subsequent to any time ho had spent In tho bull pen, ahd that since that agreement had been reached he had not been con fined there. One of the chief contentions of the defense has been that tho con stant threat of being confined to tho bull pen without Just cause had so preyed upon tho minds of tho defendants' as to effect their minds. Kelley testified that tho under standing with tho warden was reached during a conversation rela tlvo to csenpes and general condi tions at tho prison. lie also said that he had a later conversation with the wurden and told him that conditions were getting so bad that ho could not stand it any longer and would seek to escape the frist chance thnt he got.
