 Remains Mystery
[RepuhIlcan A. P. Leased WIrel

WASHINGTON, June 16.-Tnquiry at the White House, the state department and the capital today failed to disclose the action taken by President Wilson on the water power bill. It was learned at the state department, however, that the measure was still at the White House, but officials there remained silent although it had been announced that a list of the measures remaining in the presidents hands and ! is action on each might be given out late in the day.
 Legislative register clerks at the capital said they had not been informed whether the water power bill had been approved within the time permitted for it to become a, law. The water power bill was among II measures given a pocket veto" by the president when congress adjourned
 Attorney General Palmer later ruled that these measures did not suffer a veto unless the president refrained from approving them within 10 days after their receipt at the White House. The time for approving the water power bill expired last Friday, at mid night and the other measures. includ- ing the war laws repeal resolution and the resolution creating commission to confer with Canadian authorities re- garding restrictive orders against the export of pulp wood, must be approved before tomorrow midnight.

WARSAW, June 1E(By the As sociated Press)-Picturesqu warfare, stril1ingly similar to that Of the days when the cavalier was supreme, Is be- ing carried on in the wild districts southwest of Kiev, where the Poles are fighting the Russian bolshevik forces who are endeavoring to regain the territory lost during the recent of fensive by the Poles and Ukrainians. It is chiefly a combat between Polish lancers and bolsheviki cossacks.
 Raids by the troops of General Bu- denny the bolshevik cavalry leader, to break the right wing of the Poles pro- tecting the Kiev communications be- gan several weeks ago. Budenny, who was a general in the old Russian forces, has been using old and new tactics in everlasting wearing, ham mering drives. His cavalry is well re- inforced by infantry.
 Kiev is now in bolsheyik hands, but the Poles say it is perhaps not lost forever and the front swings back and forth from day to day. Budenny' s cavalry consists entirely of crack men, and it is said, each must have served at least two years in the old Russian mounted forces.
 Returning Americans say that the leader or captain of Budenny's detach- ments wears a red shirt and leads the cavalry charge, followed closely by Heutenants wearing white shirts. Then comes the drove of Budenny's men wearing shirts of all colors with the exception of red or white. As far as is known Budenny himself is close by.

 TO ELWELL MURDERER
Republican A. p. Leased wIrel

NEW YORK, June 16.-Investiga- ton of the murder of Joseph B. FL we'll, sportsman and whist player. who was shot in his home Friday. centered tonight upon "the woman in the case"
 In an effort to learn her identity, Mrs. Marie Larsen, housekeeper for ElweIl was taken to the district at- torney's office tonight and was queS toned closely. Assistant District Att torney J. Dooling said Mrs. Larsen told him she had removed a negligee, slip per and a boudoir cap from ElwelPs room after she had found him with a bullet through his head and that she had hidden these in a wash tub In the cellar.
 According to MT. Dooling, the house. keeper said she did this to protect the woman" He said Mrs. Larsen de- clared she knew nothing about the woman except she was about 25 years old. After the examination, the house. keeper returned to the Elwell home with a detective.
 Mrs. Larsen said during her cross examination that after EIwell was taken to the hospital, she had fixed up the room. It could not be learned from any of the district attorneys aS- sistants tonight whether Mrs. Larsen meant that the bed had been slept in. and that she had made 1t up before
 
 The police theory is that if the woman who owned the negligee, slip pers and boudoir cap passed the night in the house and succeeded in leaving before the murder was discovered she may have knowledge of the crime, which is expected to solve the mystery.
 Mrs. Larsen described two young women who she said were frequent wis., itorS at the Elwell home one of whom has been questioned by the police. The other girl, who Mrs. Larsen said was about 24 years old. five feet tall ana i had dark brown hair, has not yet been l is being made for her. This young ed on Elwell about 10 o'clock in the morning.
 1 Whether Mrs. Larsen is acquainted with the young woman sought. or the woman whose lingerie was found in the room, the police have declined to state.
 One of the women. Mrs Larsen said dined with EIwel1 in his home on the 1 Tuesday preceding his death. She ar rived at the house about noon. and is described as being short and fat" and about 24 years old.
 1 After conversing with her, Elwel ordered the housekeeper to prepare I lunch for two.
 Asked to tell of Elwell's movement in detail from Tuesday on, she saiC | that on Wednesday afternoon he at ! tended a wedding at the Hotel Plaza l Thursday she found him up when sh. arrived and he asked her to put away the coat he had worn at the wedding in a cedar chest as he would not need it any more.

 PRESENT SHORTAGE
 IF COAL IN NATION
rRepubIlcan A. p. Leased Nlrel

WASHINGTON, June 16.-Restora- tion of striking marine and railroad workers. to their old jobs was reeom- mended to the interstate commerce commission today as a means of al leviating freight congestion. The recommendation was made by James Reilly of the International Ceastwise Longsh association; T. B.. Healy of the Marine Workers union of New York and Frank Roland of Jersey City. who spoke for striking railroad employees of New York and other cities.
 While the commission was hearing the representatives of the strikers and grappling with freight congestion and coal shortage problems generally, J.. ID. A. Morrow. vice president of the National Coal association. issued a statement protesting against any en- bargo on coal exports.
 MT. Morrow placed the responsibility for tha existing coal shortage, said to be especially acute in New England, on the commission.
 The statement by MT. Morrow, on behalf of coal operators of the country, declared the interstate commerce com mission has full authority to relieve the country from congestion.
 The railroads several weeks ago requested the commission to direct the placing of additional cars at the coal mines, Mir. Morrow said. The Ma ttonal Coal association a month ago requested the commission to take prompt, decisive action so as to en- able Che Operators to produce and distribute an adequate supply of coal Tn the meantime an unlawful and unfair distribution of railroad cars among the mines, put into effect by l the carriers with the apparent sane ton of the commission, has made mat terS worse.
 As yet the interstate commerce commission has done nothing which deals effectively with the car shortage at the coal mines. Officials of the National Coal association are taking the matter up again with the com mission, urging immediate action to provide the coal cars needed. If such action is forthcoming it will end any danger of a coal shortage.'
