Police Have No
Clue to Murder
Detectives Believe Slain Boys
Body Carried to Spot
Where Found.

Philadelphia. Oct. 18.-Police of
this city had no clue today to clear
away the mystery surrounding the
death of Elmer c. Drewes, the Dart
mouth college student, resident of
this city, who was found dead Sum
day morning on the outskirts of
Philadelphia with a bullet wound in
the head. No weapon was found
near the body.
The police said they intend to
question Charles Schaloss of New
York, heir to 100000 estate and
friend of Drewes, in the hope that
he might be able to give aid in trac-
ing Drewes' movements. Schaloss
is said to have seen Drewes in At
lantic City on Saturday.
Robbery, the police say, was evil
IDENTIFY not the motive, if Drewes was
murdered, as about 5000 in cash,
checks and Liberty bonds were in
his clothes when the body was
found. Schaloss, who was visited
By Drewes in Atlantic City Satur-
day, has gone to his home in New
York, it was said. Drewes was re-
ported to have said Schaloss owed
him small sum.
William Belshaw, head of the
murder squad" of the Philadelphia
detective force, believes Drewes'
body was carried to the lot where it
was found after the collegian was
slain elsewhere. This theory, he
said, was borne out by the discovery
today of tracks of motor car.

Marion, O., Oct. 18.-The long
succession of political pilgrimages
to Senator Harding's front porch
reached high tide today in a gather
ing that deluged Marion and swirled
about the vicinity of the Harding
home in roaring human whirlpool.
So great was the crowd that its
fringes packed the streets a block
away and hundreds were unable to
get close enough to hear the NOM
illee,s speech on the obligations. Of
the American voter.
Delegations from many states and
representing many special groups
were in the crowd, which paraded to
the Harding residence, shouting and
singing, and greeted the candidate
and his wife with an uproar of po-
litical enthusiasm. More than a
score of bands marched with the
paraders and screnaded the nominee
fer two hours after his address,
while he and Mrs. Harding shook
hands with a stream of visitors.
The senator's speech, largely de-
voted to discussion of the obliga-
tions of the American voter was ad-
dressed particularly to those who
are to exercise the ballot this year
for the first time. He pronounced
use of the franchise a duty as we'll
as privilege and urged that the
two party system be preserved as
the most practical means of securing
efficient government. New women
voters he asked especially not to
segregate themselves in a party of
their own.

Washington, Oct. 18.-Charges by
Controller of the Currency John
Shelton Williams that the excessive
interest rate of New York banks has
been a potent influence in depres-
sing seriously the prices of all in
vestments bonds and a n d a d
shares" formed an shadowing
topic of discussion among delegates
assembling today for the annual
convention of the annual bankers as
sociation. A statement of the public
relations committee tonight included
the following comment relative to
Mr.. Williams latest attack:
"The general expression among
visiting bankers was in criticism of
the attack made yesterday morning
by John Shelton Williams, controller
of the currency, the majority of
them pointing out that Mr.. Williams
did not give in his sta,emen, the
amount of money loaned by the New
York banks on call at the high rate
of interest mentioned. Tie various
bankers estimated the amount so
loaned at from | to 2 per ent. They
are inclined to class money as a
commodity, and pointed out that
there had been less increase in the
money rates than in any ether COM
modify. 1t was also stated that the
greater amount of money is being
loaned at from E to 71s per cent,
while the prevailing low rate prior
to the increase in other commodities
was from S to per cent"
1t is the expectation that the
question of approval or disapproval
of Mr.. Williams charges will come
up at some time during the con-
sideration of resolutions by the con-
yention.
