PORTO RICAM SUGAR IS
SOLD TO CINCINNATI
Maysville People Did Not Like Porto
Rican Sweetness and Large Hold
lngs Here Are Sold to Gin
clnnatl Consumption.

Sometime ago during Maysville's
most acute sugar shortage the M. c.
Russell Company, local wholesalers,
to relieve the shortage, made a heavy
purchase of Porto Rican sugar, all
that could be obtained at that time. A
part of this purchase was distributed
among local retailers but local con-
sumers despite the acute shortage, did
not take to this sort of sugar and it
has become drug on the local market.
In order to-relieve themselves of the
heavy expense of holding this sugar,
the NJ. C. Russell Company has sold it's
entire supply of Porto Rican sugar to
Cincinnati dealers. The shipment
leaves Maysville today and amounts to
approximately 10000 pounds. This is
the first time in many months that SUI
gar has been shipped from Maysville
and the local dealers regret to part
with it because of the inability to
sell it here they are compelled to
realize their money out of the large in
vestment.
Although other sections have suf-
fered very acutely from severe short
age of sugar, Maysville has been un-
usually we'll protected during all OF
the sugar shortages.

MURDERER'S TRAIL
LEADS DETECTIVES
INTO THIS STATE
Murderer of Famous New York Turf
man and Gambler is Sought to-
day in Lexington and at
LatOnia Race Tracks,

New York, June 16.-Efforts to To-
cate the murderer of Joseph Browne
Elwell were concentrated today on
Lexington, KY, and other phases of
the investigation were being developed
at Latonia race track, near Cincinnati
Detectives left here last night under
orders of Edward Swami, district at
torney, to investigate the most prom
ising clew authorities have obtained
in what Swami termed "the most mys-
terious murder of the generation"
Swami made the unqualified state
ment today that the slayer of the whist
expert, gambler and turfman, was the
father or brother of girl, member of
prominent family in Lexington.
Elwell was at Lexington for several
weeks this spring in the interest of
his racing stable, now quartered at the
Latonia track in charge of his trainer,
Lloyd Gentry. Elwell stayed in Ken
lucky for the Louisville derby, but was
| forced to leave Lexington earlier than
he had intended, fearing the wrath of
the girls father or brother, Swami
said.
"The girls first name was Anna"
Swami said.
Although authorities failed to ex-
plain how they came in possession of
the --latest" clew, it was reported to
have been obtained from William
Barnes, secretary and valet to Elwell
Barnes was questioned for several
hours last night by Swami and other
| officials
eve have learned a great deal about
| Elwell from Barnes, the district at
torney said. HE told us the murdered
man was on terms of the utmost init
macy with at least so girls and wom-
| en-"
Barnes, according to the district at
torney, told how Elwell often enter
tanned women in his home. A room
on the third floor was fitted with toilet
| water, lip sticks, rouge, brown pencils
and other articles for use of women.
Authorities still had failed today to
explain incidents of the last hours of
Elwell's life-from $3.50 a IN. when he
returned, until he was slain at about
1880.

MITCHELL WINS In
JOCKEYINC MATCH
Beats Capt. cottreII by Scant Margin
in Fish Class Race.

Lieut.. Mitchell defeated Capt. Chas
Cottrell by a scant two feet in a
pretty race over the long course yes
terday afternoon, when Cottrell failed
to allow the flying sailor sufficient sea
room to clear the stake buoy. Capt
Jack Crenshaw was third.
During the first two legs of the race
Capt. Cottrell and Captain Mitchell
were well ahead or captain Crenshaw's
boat, but because they were jocleying
to beat each other the Studebaker man
slipped up behind them and came near
taking the race.
Just before reaching the stake boat
Lieut.. Mitchell stole Capt. Cottrell's
wind and was able to slide over the
line a winner. The two boats were in
collision, due to Captain Cottrelrs ina
bility to give Mitchell sea room. but
the aviator's boat was overlapping and
he was clearly entitled to the right of
way.

ALL WESTERN TEAMS
WILL PLAY TODAY

Chicago, Ills, Oct. S.-Every west
ern conference football team will get
into action tomorrow, but in only two
instances will conference elevens meet
each other. Northwestern win play
Minnesota at Evanston. and Chicago
will tackle its traditionary Nemesis,
Purdue here.
With Indiana already virtually elm
mated from tn championship race
through it's defeat by Iowa last Sat
urday, it is considered probable that
the list of 'also rams" will be increased
to three through tomorrow's contests,
for defeat for any eleven will make
its championship possibilities very
slight.
The Minnesota Northwestern game
probably will attract most attention
for it is expected to show definitely
how strong title contending eleven
the Gophers have in the field this
year.
Michigan will meet Case, while Illi-
nois will open it's season against Drake
at Urbana. Wisconsin will tackle the
Michigan Aggies, and Iowa, con-
queror of Indiana. will face a com
paratively easy foe in Cornell College.
Ohio State, runnerup in last seasons
race, also has a foe considered weak,
in Oberlin. Indiana will play against
Mississippi A. & NJ.
