ELWELL s PAYROLL
FOR WOMEN SOUGHT
To FIND MURDERER
Wealthy Turfman Alleged to
Have Pensioned Many-Late
Will Also Wanted.

New York, July S.-Search for "pav
rolf. said to have been kept by Joseph
s. Elwell and for a later will than that
filed for probate, Thursday marked a
new turn in the district attorneys in
yestigation into the mysterious murder
of the wealthy turfman and whist expert
here last month.
Banks with which Elwell kept funds
were asked to furnish transcripts of his
accounts for several months prior to
his death. Evidence that the turfman
had been paying one woman $50 and
another $500 a month is being inyesti-
gated in the hope that more light may
be shed on such disbursements
Incidental to acknowledgment Of this
trend Of the inquiry, assistant District
Attorney Talley related today some of
ElWells "tips ON how to handle women"
as told him, he said, by the horseman's $
trainer
One Of Elwelrs tactics, according to
the story detailed to Talley, was to hold
aloof from q woman he particularly ad-
mired. Then he would tell some other
woman how much he liked her and
continue apparently to avoid her.
This invariably brought the woman
he wanted to the point Of seeking him. y
Talley added.
In the search for will. said to have
been drawn in December, 1916, leaving
most of his estate TO his son Richard,
the district attorneys office conferred
with Frederick Inghram, the attorney
who said he drew it up. The will now on
file, drawn in 1915. left nothing to the
mans parents. No definite clews as to
the whereabouts Of the later alleged
document have been uncovered, it was
stated

AGREEMENTS FIXING
PRICES BRING COURT
CHARGES To GROCERS
Proceedings Against 3S Alleg-
ed Violators Non-Price Fixing
Law Are Started.

Topeka. Kan, July S.-Receiverships
fines and custer from the state were
asked in proceedings filed in the SUI
preme court Thursday against 3S
wholesale grocery concerns. The pro-
ceedings are brought by Richard j.
Hopkins, attorney general. under the
Kansas antitrust law. The supreme
court issued an order restraining the
company officials and employees from
removing or obliterating records or
correspondence that might substantiate
the charges made.
Technically, the grocers are charged
with entering a combination in restraint
of trade. Mr.. Hopkins charges that the
alleged agreements and combinations
were made through the Missouri Kan
sas wholesale grocers' association of
which the defendants are alleged to be
members.
The petition charges the defendants
entered agreements not to sell below
certain standard prices set by agree
ment.

100000 men.
BY strict Interpretation of the law,
reduction of the fighting forces to half
that total must be in effect by July 10,
but the position of the men responsible
for the army policy is that the answer
to Germany''s request at San Reno on
April 20. for authority to continue the
army of 100000 was the statement
that the ruling was reserved for the Spa
conference.
But because newspaper reports of
the first postponement the government
submitted on June 3 a definite pro-
posal Of extension of authority TO main
tain the present army. No answer was
received and therefore, the attitude of
the Germans is that postponed until
the Spa conference held good
IL the Spa conference had been held
Immediately, the subject would probably
have been gone into the first oppor-
tunity and German representations
would have had chance to speak.
The facts and figures had been pre-
pared, and it was intended to show in
an emphathatic way that maintenance
of the present army is vital necessity
to Germany, and therefore to Europe.
Although the impression exists
since the election that Germany defeated
BolsheVism, fsaid one official, I'VE
face serious troubles. The farmhands
are striking in Pomerania. Subtraction
by the employers of 10 per cent of all sal
aries and wages as taxes has caused
widespread agitation in favor of strikes.
If labor demands more, the employers
must say no and any one who really
recognizes how impossible the election
made the gulf between the Right and
left must realize we may be facing the
final decision Of the battle.
ITO suppress the uprising in March
of last year required $1,000 men. The
battle against the soviet republic at
Munich took $4,000, and the hot bed in
the Ruhr district required 10000 And

especlllc threat that tne alHes VIII occupy
the Ruhr and other territory if Ger
many cannot or does not accept.
The German cabinet of which seven
of the nine members are here held a
meeting Wednesday, but no decision was
reached and the council adjourned until
Friday morning
The prevailing view among the Ger
mans was that the allies had carried
their demands. particularly the menace
of occupying further German territory,
much beyond any provision of the YER
sailles treaty and also that the allies
are taking up an aggressive position not
contemplated by any clause of the treaty.
The allied disarmament note was COM
munlcated to Berlin early inthe day at
Chancellor Fehrenbach's request, with
the direction that it be submitted to the
reichstag and to the leaders of all the
parties, whether supporters of the gov
ernment or the opposition. Herr Feb
renbach asked for the view of the reich
stag and of the party leaders, but said
that the decision would rest with the
cabinet now at Spa.
Private negotiations are reported to be
going on between Premiers Lloyd George
and Milieraad on the one hand and DR..
Slmons of the Germans. but this could
not be clearly established
The final decision Of the allies sets
forth that Germany must:
Immediately disarm certain of it's
forces including the security police.
Publish proclamation asking for
the immediate surrender of all weapons
and firearms in the hands Of the civil
population.
3.-Abolish Immediately compulsory
service
4.-Surrender to the allies all arms.
guns and cannsn which it possesses
above the limit fixed by the treaty at
Versailles
The allied decision concerning disarm-
ament reads:
If on October ] the German army is
not reduced to 10000 the allies will
proceed to occupy German territory in
the Ruhr or any other part of German
territory, and will not evacuate it until
all the conditions of the present agree
ment have been fulfilled
Bad Faith Charged
Premier Lloyd George said that after
the three days of discussion the ques-
ton must be closed Immediately. The
treaty had not been executed. he asser-
ted, instead of 100000 rifles there were
100000 in Germany and six times as
many machine guns as the treaty allow
ed. The allies had not insisted on strict
execution of this clause. Lloyd George
continued, because they recognized the
