installed at once. He wanted to use
the boat Immediately to join his
family at Fishers Island.
The unmounted engine was in the
forepart Of the boat, Colonel Whit.

gated yesterday without finding the
boat in which Mr.. Blake was last seen

Bail Revoked for
EcrenlOllt, | Figure
lin Ar1lstein Case
Mystery Surrounds Orders
From Washington; Cana
dian 6 Government Believed
toHave Inspired NewMove

Immigration officials at Ellis Island,
acting nnder orders from the Secretary
of Labor, yesterday revoked the bond
Of $4,000 under which Arthur Ecre-
ment, the Canadian who figured in the
search for Nicky Arnstein, was held.
He was placed in detention quarters
without bail. Ecrement is wanted by
Canadian authorities to explain finan-
cial transactions in the Dominion.
1t had been announced that Ecrement
would be summoned to appear yester-
day for continuation of his hearing
rs to why he should not be deported to
Canada, but no intimation was made
that he would be deprived of liberty.
When Ecrement and his New York at
torney appeared before the Special in
spectors they were taken by surprise
at the unexpected announcement. The
effort of the attorney to have his
clienS released to him over night at
whatever bond the authorities might
fix was of no avail.
Mystery surrounds the sudden turn
in the, case. There was no explanation
of the orders the Ellis Island authori-
ties, received from Washington. It is
known that the Canadian government
is anxious to get Ecrement back to
that country. Michael j. Connolly, a
Canadian banker, who is known to have
lost 1925, 900 in ventures in which Ecre-
mont is said 10 have played part, is
here in the Interests of deportation.
When Ecrement and his attorney
appeared for the hearing yesterday
they asked for a postponement until
July 81, so that Ecrement could get
what he termed his Credentials" from
Montreal. He said he could show that
when he left there he was citizen in
good standing in the Dominion, and
upon such status he would base his
demand for immediate inspection at
Ellis Island without being sent back to
the border for inspection by the United
States immigration authorities. The
hearings will be continued to-day

Then suddenly Peters wabbly little

puzzled, very much puzzled. The water

tnen quite Unexpectedly Peter found
himself out in the night air! He was
on the very edge Of the Laughing

leet, but he was outside! He looked
up. High above him the twinklinr it,

only deep enough to cover Peters feet

Elwen Murder
Will Be Solved,
Says Dooling
Assistant Prosecutor Toys
With Colt Automatic,
Like One Used by Slayer,
but Refuses Explanation
Another Woman in Case
III. III. Porter Admits Buying
Whisky From Turfman's
Agent; Liquor Is Seized

"The mystery surrounding the muir
der of Joseph Bovine Elwell will be
solved"
This positive announcement was
made by Assistant District Attorney
John T. Dooling yesterday, on the
twenty eighth day Of the investigation
into the murder Of the whist expert. !.
The announcement followed several
cryptic statements concerning new
clews and leads that have been de-
veloped. As he made it the Assistant
District Attorney toyed with an army
Colt automatic of the 1911 type. He
refused to say where this came from.
Nor would he reveal when or by whom
the mystery would be solved. Elwell
was killed with an army automatic pis-
toll
Aside from this the twenty-eighth
day of the investigation passed as has
getting any nearer solution of the
mystery.
Whisky Purchase Admitted
One Of the concrete results of the
days activities occurred in the Office
of former Judge w. M. K. Olcott, 40
Broadway. There H. H. Porter, presi-
dent of the American Waterworks
Company, of so Broad Street, was
questioned by August Hasenfug, coun-
sci for the local prohibition enforce
ment officer. Porter admitted having
purchased four cases of whisky from
an employee of Elwell.
Immediately after the investigation,
agents from the Prohibition Enforce
ment Office went to the home of Porter,
405 Park Avenue, and confiscated the
liquor. Porter's name had been previ
ously mentioned in the testimony Of
cation into the alleged "bootlegging"
phase of Elwell's activities.
Mr.. Porter, besides being president
of the $30,000,O00 American Water
works Company, is vice-prcsident and
general manager Of the Brooklyn City
Railroad Company, and director and
officer in several otheY corporations
He is also governor of the Rockaway
Hunt Club and has summer home at
Lawrence, L. /.
A new character entered the tan
gled mystery yesterday and became the
subject of search conducted by the
District Attorneys office. This charac
ter was another woman" who is said
to be, now, a resident of New Jersey,
who can give information of definite
character concerning phase Of the in
vestigation that has been considerably
befogged by contradictory statements.
Others Questioned
sister of Mrs Oliver w. Bird was
questioned yesterday by Mr. Dooling.
She corroborated the story told by Mr..
and Mrs. Bird and by George B. Post
jr. concerning the visit of William H.
Pendleton, racing partner of Elwell, to
the home Of the Birds on Monday
June Z.
In announcing positively that the
murder would be solved, Mr.. Dooling
admitted that he had questioned two
other witnesses during the day, but de-
clined to make known their identity.
One he admitted was man who was
to have been guest at the house party
which had been arranged in New Jer-
sey and to which Elwell and others
were invited.

Makes Money by Yelling
Police Hunt Man Who Has Been
Collecting $50 Day

After complaints had been received at
several police stations hunt was begun
in Harlem yesterday for man who has
been getting money just by yelling for
making about $50 day and easily could
make more if he wasn't too lazy.
His method is to ring the bell of one
tenant after another in an apartment
house and yell up the dumbwaiter shaft
that the laundry is ready and is $2.46 or
$3.17, or some such convincing sum,
which is almost certain to bring SIS
bill to be changed. The man who yelled
for his money never made any change
nor did he ever deliver any laundry. By
the time tenants got suspicious he had
disappeared. Five tenants at 555 West
186th Street were yelled out of S. apiece
