The act thought to have been

to despondency caused by prolong

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-

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

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.

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

SAYS FACULTY
Report That College of
Theology Will Go To
Seattle Unfounded and
Erroneous.
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.

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

noon. "We have really only one
question before us, not 'will the
system be taken over?' but 'when

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

TELLS OF PACT
WITHWARDEN
Kelley Had Agreement To
Be Kept Out of Bull
Pen Which Was Live'
Up To.
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
