NOT SUICIDE
Police Bamed in Death
N. Y. Turfman
Mystery Deepens in Killing of Joseph
B. EIweII in His Apartments Last
Friday-Jealousy Theory Advanced
by Sportsman's Friends


New York, June 13.-The theory of
suicide was virtually abandoned by
the police tonight in the case of JOS
eph B. Elwell, wealthy turfman and
noted whist authority, who was found
dead in his home last Friday with a
bullet wound in his head. Insistence
OF many Of the sportsman's friends
that jealousy may have played an i'm
portatnt part in the supposed murder
stirred the 25 detectives on the case to
renewed activity in tracing his women
acquainances and men with whom. he
played bridge for high stakes. A
thorough search of the house failed to
produce the slightest clue, not even a
finger print, the police on watch said.
Assistant District Attorney John F.
Joyce today belittled the report that
women friends of the dead man had
keys to his home. He said the state
ment. originally attributed to Elwelrs
chauffeur, was absurd, as there were
only two keys, one held by the house
keeper and the other by Mr.. Elwell
Several persons who knew the whist
expert at the Elwell home today,
among them Countess Szinawska and
her sister, Mrs. L. Hardy. Neither
would discuss the case.
According to Mr.. Joyce the sisters,
who were born in Holland, met the
turfman in Carlsbad early in he war
while at the watering place with
members Of their family. The two
women left Carlsbad in September,
1919. and came to New York, where
they have lived since. A short time
later Elwsll returned to America.
Both told Mr.. Joyce they had not
seen Elwell for year prior to his
death. The countess denied that she
had ever entered the Elwell home but
her sister admitted that she had visit
ed the home on one occasion.
Some of the turfman's friends ad-
vanced the theory that he had been
murdered by "a father or a husband.
1t was learned that on the day be-
fore his death Elwell sold one of his
race horses to G. c. Winfred, former
ly trainer in his employ. for $500.
He wanted the payment in cash. Ev-
cry taxicab driver in the district from
AID street to West 10th street, where
Mr.. Elwell lived, has been questioned
by detectives in an effort to find the
cab in which he may have been driven
to his home early Friday morning.
The police are investigating a re-
port that Elwell was seen in a cab
after leaving friends with whom he
had attended a theatre party Thursday
night.
I'm all my rs years service in the
detective bureau" said Captain Walsh.
who is directing the search for the
murderer, Il have never known a
more battling case"
Police suspicion tonight was con-
centsated on two club men. both &C
quaintances Of Elwell. One of them.
the police said, had left the city when
detectives called at his apartments.
According to the police, the missing
man had made arrangements for his
departure the day before Elwell was
killed.

PASHA slain
By Albanian Student
at French Capital
Victim of Assassin Was Head of
Albanian Delegation in Paris and
Former Provisional President of
Albania-Had Picturesque Career

Paris, June 13-Essada Pasha.
head of the Albanian delegation in
Paris and former provisional presi-
dent of Albania was assassinated
here today. Three shots were fired
at him by an Albanian student, two
of which took effect.
Essad Pasha was emerging from
the hotel Continental in the Rue Cas-
Tiglione when he was suddenly con-
fronted by a~young man who later
gave his name as Rustem Avenib-
kaveni and said he was an Albanian
student. Without uttering word
Rustcm fired two shots which struck
Essad Pasha in the chest and an
other which went wild. Essad sank
TO the ground. He was picked up
and takens to his bedroom, where he
died shortly afterwards.
The assassin was arrested by d
waiter. He told the police that he
arrived in Paris on May 81 and de-
clared that the crime was not pre-
meditated. Recognizing Essad Pasha
on the street, whom he held to be
responsible for the sufferings of AL
bania, he said he felt a sudden i'm
pulse and fired the shots. Rustem
termed EsSad 1.-The Albanian dicta-
tor"
ESsad Pasha had picturesque ca
reer. Regarded by all the European
governments in 1913 merely as an
Albanian outlaw, three years later
he was recognized by these same
powers as provisional president and
minister of war of Albian, following
the downfall of Prince William of
WED.
Essad was rewarded for his SER
vices early in the war, in the fighting
against Austria.
At one time Essad was command
ant of Gendarmes at Constantinople,
his commander having killed by Or
der of Sultan Abdul Hamid, Essad
conceived a hatred of the Sultan
which led him, when the Turkish
parliament in 1909 decided upon the
deposition of Abdul, to solicit his
downfall.
The Jugo Slav was to support the
Albanians and appoint Essad COVER
nor of Albania for the administra-
ton of the country to pass to Jugo-
SlaV on the death of Essad

LITTLE CHANGE IN PHYSIQUE
Report That Average Stature Of Amer
lean Men Was Affected by War
Declared Untrue.

The wholesale clothing manufacture
ers assert that there has not been any
change in the size of their garments
since the war. They are manufacture
ing more garments, but the proportion
of larger sizes is no greater now than
it was three years ago. In short, their
size patterns have not changed. Yet
changes would be necessary If the stat
ure of American men had been affect
ed in any appreciable way by the year
and half or two years of military
training.
Manufacturers of ready-to-wear
shirts and undergarments agree with
the clothing manufacturers that there
has been no change in their size pat
terms despite the reports of numerous
individuals who take "a size larger"
today than they did before the war.
AS one manufacturer put it, the pro-
portion of soldiers who need larger
sizes in shirts or suits today than they
did two years ago is so small that it
has no effect on wholesalers. Sales
men naturally remember certain indi-
vidual cases of increased chest develop
ment. but, taking the country by and
large, there has been no appreciable
change in the physique of the male
portion of the population, at least as
far as their clothing is concerned.
