Latest Account of the Crime
Which Shocked Entire
Nation.
ELDER JUMPS THREE STORIES
Foreman of Composing Room Is
Saved by Being Blown
Through Floor.

The first complete details of the ter
rible tragedy in the Los Angeles Times
building early on the morning of Octo-
Der l were received in Honolulu yes
terday in the San Francisco Evening
Post of that date. While Honolulu has
already learned the main facts of the
Gastardly crime by cable, the real ter
ror of that explosion was hardly pic
tured in the brief messages which were
received here. A late dispatch in the
Post tells of the death of Churchill
Harvey Elder, former city editor of The
Advertiser, whose awful fate shocked a
hundred friends here. 1t said:
"Churchill Harvey Elder, the assist
ant city editor, who was terribly in
jured by the flames and by leaping from
third-storv window to the street pave
ment, died at the hospital at seven
thirty clock. He suffered terrible
agony from the time he was removed
from the burning building to the hos
pital, and no hope of his recovery was
entertained at any time by the attend
my SuiStonS.
OF the bloody events Immediately
following the explosion of the bomb,
which seems to have gone off in the
basement, the Post said.
''The head and missing come prinei-
pallv from the composing room of the
paper, which was directly above the
spot where the explosion occurred. The
bodies of a number of printers and
linotype operators are believed to be
buried in the still burning debris in the
basement of the building
''In the local newsroom of the paper
all of the editors and reporters had gone
home, with the exception of two or
three men Assistant City Editor Har
vey- Elder was still on duty, and suf-
fered injuries from which he died later.
When the explosion came and the flames
shot up through all parts of the build
ing, Harvey Elder was badly injured,
but attempted to escape. Finding exit
by the stairway shut off, he ran to the
windows which opened out from the
third hoor on Broadway. There was no
fire escape there. and, hemmed in by
flames. he was forced to jump. Fire
men below held net and he jumped,
but partly missed the net and struck the
pavement His right leg was broken,
and besides his serious burns he was
badly injured internally.

ATTACK
MORAL CODE
Their Defense of Girl Who Shot and
Killed Betrayer Offers Chance for
Blow at Dual Standard.

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 20.-The bat
tie for the acquittai of Mamie Nc
Laughlin, charged with the murder
OF Hugh Smith. the man who wronged
and deserted her. is enlisting the aid
of thousands OF Louisiana women.
The Era club. which started the move
ment, Is one Of the most powerful
women's organizations In the country.
It exerts an influence feared and re-
spected by the politicians of this
body tremendous pressure will be
brought to bear on behalf OF the ac-
cused girl.
Mrs. Roydan Douglas, president Of
the Era club, said:
I'VE have undertaken to assist Miss
Mclaughlin" she says. because we
believe that there should not be two
different standards of conduct for
men and women-one for men and
another for women
I'VE believe that women should
have the benefit OF the 'unwritten
law as we'll as men.
Recently a man In New Orleans
who found that his home had been
desecrated by another man, killed
that other man. The slayer was per-
iunctorily arrested. but was quickly
freed at the preliminary hearing. Aft
erwards he was indicted by tbe grand
jury, which body also quickly freed
him. It was not stated that the 'up-
written law had given him his free
dom. but u course IL was that code.
I'VE do not condone immortality.
and we are not aiding Miss McLaugh-
lin because of her personality. AS
matter of fact, few. II any, Of the
army Of women who are battling for
her have ever seen her. But behind
1t all is a great principle OF tremendu-
GUS moment to the women. OF
America"
Mamie Mclaughlin is the idol of
the parish prison and her fight for
freedom will be watched with as keen
an interest from the somber confines
of that building as by those who are
directly conducting the defense.
Much of the girls time is spent in
the prison chapel. She has been
reared a devout Catholic, and the local
clergy of that church are taking great
interest In her case.

Rep. Madison Is Choice
Of Rebels For Speaker

WASHINGTON, Aug 20.-The Sc
lection OF Uncle joe Cannon's sue
cessor AZ speaker. il the next house
should. be-, Republican, promises to-
day To be one OF t{5e hardest problems
that has confronted a party in con-
gress for years There is every pros
pect that the regulars will be in the
majority In the Republican caucus
where the new candidate for speaker
will be chosen, but they will be I'M
able to elect him without insursent
votes.
II Cannon's successor should be an
insurgent the man most likely TO De
chosen would be Representative Ed
ward Madison.
Madison is a thorough insurgent.
but has judicial mind, and 1t is
thought would command more sup
mort for the speakership than some
insurgents who have been more prom
inent as leaders.
Representative Walter T. Smith, OF
Iowa. was most talked OF as Cannons
successor last winter when the un-
seating of the speaker was in contem-
platfon, and his name is prominent In
speculation now as the new presiding
oficer. Smith was favored by the In
surgents over the other regulars, de-
spite the fact that he was member
of the old committee on rules.
John r. Mann, OF Illinois, probably
the best informed man as to the bust
ness of the house, Will also have
strong support for the speakership.
A boom is being urged in the interest
of Ebenezer J. Hill. of Connecticut, a
regular, and member who has taken
an active part in the house in eight
congresses.
Charles n. Fowler. of New Jersey
may also enter the list, but there Is
no indication that he could win.
Champ Clark. of Missouri, accord
ing to allpresent indications, will have
the right-of-way to the speakers ros-
trum II the house is Democratic.

Three Former Officials Of Illinois
Central Railroad Are Charged
With Completely in Car Frauds.

CHICAGO, Aug. 20.-Three former
executive officers OF the Illinois Cen
trail Railroad company were arrested
yesterday on warrants in connection
with the alleged frauds by means of
which the railroad was defrauded II
is said Of $1,500,000. The men arrest
Ell were:
Frank b.. Hartman, formerly
general manager Of the road.
Charles l.. Ewing, formerly
manager of lines north of the
Ohio river.
John NJ. Taylor, formerly gen.
eral storekeeper OF the road.
The warrants, sworn to by ]. T.
Harahan, of the Illinois Central Rail
road, charge the three men with con.
spiracy to cheat and defraud the rail.
road by false pretenses, and with OPP
Grating a confidence game. Hartman
and Ewing were, taken to the Harri-
son-st police station. There bonds
of 10000 each were signed by pro-
fessional bondsman.
The allegations in the graft case
are startling. The investigation be-
gan a year ago. 1t reached a crisis
last spring when President Harahan
began actions TO recover sums said
to aggregate more than 100000 al
legged to have been taken from the
road by car repair companies in con-
nivance with high officials OF the
road. Hartman, Ewing, Taylor and
many others of less magnitude re-
signed their positions. Much Of the
money Is said 10 have been repaid
privately.
The name OF Ira G.. Rawn, who re-
signed a vice-presidency in the ILL
nois Central to become president or
the Monon System and who was
found dead recently at his home with
a bullet would in his breast, was
brought into the scandal Murray
Nelson, Jr., attorney for the Illinois
Central. today said that Rawn's death
headed off warrants which would
have been issued for him.
Private detectives. working under
the direction OF Mr.. Harahan, are
said to have unearthed frauds other
than those connected with padded car
repair bills. These are said to in
volve the diverting of $1,000,000 or
more than new construction funds.
The investigators say they have pro-
cured several confessions, which will
be used in their attempt TO fasten
guilt on culpable persons.
Yesterdays developments bring the
name of Ewing into the case for the
Arst time.

Jesse L. Livermore, Youthful Piunser'
Once So Week Clerk, Has Income
of $4,000 Year.

NEW YORK, Aug. 20.-Two years
ago Jesse l.. Livermore went up
against the Wall-st.- game. He left
with the title of Cotton King hv-
ermore,' and 100000.
Then, with his own cotton, he plug
ged his ears against the siren voice
of "the street." and sought a lawyer,
whom he paid to devise a scheme
whereby he would be assured of an
annuity of 10000 no matter what hap
pened.
The lawyer was so successful at
the job that boy plunger Livermore'
can't get the money until the right
time comes around every year. Nor
can he borrow against 1t, or pledge
1t. He locked II up IN an insurance
company where Wall-st-. can never

Reports from coast resorts indicate
that Mr.. and Mrs. Livermore are get
ting along nicely on that $4,000 per.
A few years ago Livermore was a
marker on a Boston blackboard, get
ting IS a week. His employers d.
vorced him from the job because they
discovered he was playing the bucket
shops. Instead of hunting another
job, he began to speculate In earnest.
He came to New York with his wife,
to whom he is devoted, and before
Wall-st knew of his existence. he
had money scattered through half a
dozen banks. That was in 1906 when
he was 81 years old. The market
was beginning to wabble then and
sink beneath the weight of high
money and boosted prices. He climbed
right on top of the market and began
to sell right and left. Every transac-
ton seemed to be winner. But he
didn't walt for the very finish of the
bear market, but closed his trades
and announced that he was out.
Right at this stage of the game he
arranged for his $4,000 annuity.
Then he bought a yacht and took his
wife on a pleasure cruise.

The answer denies that there is

FARMER BOY Wins.
OVER CRACK SHOTS
Sends Nineteen Consecutive Bullets
Into Bull's-Eye 1000 Yards Away,
Beating Expert Marksmen.
BY c. L. GILMAN.

CAMP PERRY. o., Aug. 20.-This Is
the story of farmer boy who has
beaten men at a mans game.
Scott Clark. apparently about 49,,
lay down with so others on the firing
line facing the 1,000-yard targets at
the individual Tyro match-an un-
known youth among 800 others who
had not yet distinguished themselves
at the rifle game. He rose up with
a name which will be spoken every
where by men who know and love the
sport of our fathers. WIZ
While he faced the targets he drove
10 consecutive bullets through the
morning mist TO a three-foot bullseye
eight city blocks away.
The day before, the best that men
grown gray in the sport had been
able to do was to make 16 consecutive
bullseyes when completing for the
famous Wimbledon cup.
Clark was born and brought up on
a farm near Columbus, Ohio. Until a
year ago he had never fired high
power rifle. But the healthy years on
the farm told when he made his first
venture among the picked hundreds oil
the 100000 American rifiefmen.
"Of course have shot all my Ire,
he says modestly. Il began with an
air rifle when ! was and had .22
when was boy, su ] am used to the
idea OF shooting"
