WidO,u and His Son
At EI,ceU Burial
Father of Slain Turfn,an
Rides in Same Carriage
With Then, to Cemetery

While the authorities kept on with
their efforts to find and identify the
slayer of Joseph Bovine Elwell the
body Of the sportsman was buried yes
terday in Ridgewood, N. J.
Only the family and close friends
were at the service, which the Rev. A.
D. Ball, Methodist pastor, conducted.
Elwell's mother, eighty years old,
leaned weakly on the arm of the
father, who is eightytwo, and Miss
brother, stood by. A trust fund that
Elwell established several years ago
provides for them all.
But Mrs Joseph Bovine Elwell. the
widow, who was in deep mourning, and
Richard, her son, whose gray sleeve
carried a black band, had just learned
that they were hot remembered in Ell
wells will. They were received by Ell
we'll sr., and rode with him to Valleau
Cemetery With them was a woman
who refused to give her name.
Later Mrs. Elwell said that the mat
ter of a trust fund or any kind of pro
vision for her or for her son had no,
been mentioned at the funeral, where
she was received kindly. But she re-
iterated her determination to fight for
what she considered the rights Of her
son.
The few floral offerings included one
of pink and white roses from the fam
lily, and another of red roses from New
York. 1t bore no card The services
were short and formal.

top floor of an apartment house at 1887
Lexington Avenue and supporting her
self largely by teaching bridge whist
to people of prominence. The 5000 a
month that the court allowed her was
not enough to provide for her and the
boy, Richard.
Greatest Whist Expert
"And as l recall it, Elwell was not
generous in granting that. He was not
gracious abou, it. Yet | have seen him
only few times, when he came to my
office in connection with this alimony.
~ believe that Elwell was probably
the greatest player of bridge in the
world, and Mrs Elwell is probably the
greatest teacher in the world No
doubt their inclination for it helped
to bring them together"
Observing that like a house of cards
the Elwell homo did not endure,
Whaley said that he would like to
know something of Elwells religious
fsltn: whether he was a fatalist, as
many gamblers are, and whether spir-
itualism interested him. Edward
Rhodes. Elwell's chauffeur, has said
that although he had driven his en-
ployer to all other varieties of places
ne could not remember that he ever
drove him to church.
"As to divorce proceedings" Whaley
added, II suppose that Mrs Elwell has
not acted because of the sentiment
that every woman has for the father
Of her child. And, of course she did
not want to jeopardize the boys fu-
ture. Mrs. Elwell had no children by
her former husband, William H. Han

ford, who died. so she did not have
the same reluctance in filing suit for
divorce.
81 am glad it has been established
that the she'll used in killing Elwell
had no army markings, so that the
weapon probably was not an army gun,
because there has been too much talk
Of crimes committed by former serv-
ice men. | think that the man who
killed Elwcll was not an army man,
believe that our soldiers are RESPONSE
Bile for very few unlawful acts, and GER
talnly they are not given to ANYTHING
of this character
Crime Laid to Cards
"And Pm inclined to feel, after all.
mat the man who fired that shot did
not 90 1T to avenge woman or out of
jealousy, but simply because ElwclI
mad beaten him at cards. or taken
money from him at some sort of gam
bllng. Our records of crime will show
that many murder has had only that
desperate characters in the mountains
Of South Carolina, who know how to
snoot from the hip and from the inside
OF their pockets, and | think that's
how this thing was done"
An acquaintance of Elwel's, who will
have much to do with settling his
estate, voiced his conviction that the
woman theory of murder is far strong
er than the suggestion that one Of
his victims of the gaming table had
taken revenge.
'hI"ell wasn't professional gambler

the murderer of my brother is cap

II have a theory, though, that my
brother, who had a heart of steel and
as big as any in the world, sprang at
his assailant. He was an expert with
his mitts, knew how to handle himself
and was clever boxer.
"I've seen my brother lose $4,000
on the turn Of a card" added Walter,
at which William Barnes, Elwell's valet,
interrupted: owe seen him lose $780,
900 in a single day without turning a

spend it."

DECREASE IN ACREAGE
OF BEANS AND POTATOES
Bean Acreage This Year Nearly
Quarter of Million Less Than
Last Season.

LASC oCdSOhs
Reports received by the Colorado
cooperative crop reporting service
from the crop reporting board of the
United States Bureau of Crop Esti-
mates show that there will be slight
shortage in the acreage devoted to po-
tatoes in the principal late potato
producing states this year and very
material reduction in the acreage de-
voted to dry beans for market, pro-
vided the farmers do not revise their
plans for planting these crops. In
some states there is ample time for
such revision Of plans on both Of
.hese crops.
These reports show that, according
TO the intentions of growers on May
!, the area to- be devoted to beans in
the five principal bean producing
,tates this year is 706,75O acres, COM
)ared with 100000 acres last year,
or about II percent. The Indicated
acreage this year and the acreage
harvested last year, by states, is as
follows: New York, 10000 acres this
year, 100000 last year; Michigan.
232,500 acres, 100000 acres; Colo
rado, 44,S5O acres, $4,000 acres;
California, $4,000 acres, 395, 1000
acres; New Mexico, 102,400 acres,
12S,000 acres. The acreage in Cali
tornia is of all varieties, including
Limas. In>that state there will ap-
parently be much larger decrease in,
the acrease devoted to other varieties
Of beans than that devoted to Limas.
Last year the area devoted to Limas
vas about $4,000 acres and 100000
acres to other varieties. The percent
ages OF acreage this year as compared
With acreage last year, by states, are
as follows: New York, 80; Michigan,
75; Colorado, 65; New Mexico, so;
California, so. In California the
acreage to be devoted to Limas will
apparently be 80 percent of that for
