After two weeks of investigation
and merciless publicity the small
army of Investigators became definite

ment, nothing is impossible" and
each clung doggedly to its pet "solu-
tion."
The first faction, including Q major
ity of the detectives said, "What If
the doors were locked? Some enemy,
man or women, killed ElweD."
The second, numbering many of E!-
wells friends and some of the clev-
crest detectives, retorted, What II
there were TO powder burns? Elwell
killed himself and someone who ar
rived before the police, hid the pistol.
After the funeral, Joseph S. Elwell,
father of the dead man, declared his
unfaltering belief that his son had
been murdered.

contemplating divorce proceedings
when she heard of Elwells' death, ad-

pressed indignation that the racing
man made no provision in his will fol

ton Assistant District Attorney Joyce
ordered the detention of Mrs. Larsen

was concealing evidence which might
lead to the apprehension of the guilty
person. Her release was ordered by

that no evidence sufficient to hole

ifornia proven to the government
that the giant machine, operating
from March Field. near Riverside, has
been assigned the task of making q

racing associate, had been removed
from the envelope. The letters had
been delivered by the postman at 1885.
There was no weapon, no footprint,
no evidence Of struggle, no possible
clew except 45 callbre shell, such
as is elected from an automatic pistol
of the army type and the stub OF q
cigarette different from those Elweti
habitually smoked. Doors and windows
were securely locked.
Experts declared that a suicide
theory was untenable because Elwell
could not have held the fatal pistol
far enough from his head to avoid
mower burns, even were it possible to
account for the disappearance of the
weapon. There were powder marks
on the dying mans forehead but no
burns.
AS soon as the idea Of self-destruc-
ton was rejected the man hunt
started. Its ramifications extended
all over the country, into every circle
Of society and for years back into the
dead mans past. Every relative,
every friend, every casual acqualnt-
ance or servant, every one who mad
ever seen the dead turfman was found
end examined. Every possible motive
for his killing was explored. Love
affairs long buried were exhumed and
the principals grilled to discover al
motive for the crime. Every real or
suspected enmity was probed. All led
to the same end-a wealth of inform
alton. about the dead mans leisurely
life, his reputation for suave good
nature and his conauests of women's

few. During the early evening he
was one of a dinner party at large
hotel. Other guests were MIR. and
Mrs Lewisohn, Miss Viola kraus and
South American journalist who
met Elwell for the first time that eve
ming. At a nearby table sat Victor
Won Schlegel, the divorced husband of
Miss kraus and Miss ELY Hope An
derson, singer whose home is in
Minneapolis.
All who were present agreed after
ward that there was no show of i'll
feeling between Elwell and Won
Schlegell, though they brush d
shoulders on the dance floor, several
times with Won Schlegell's former
wife dancing with the sportsman.
After leaving the hotel the Lew
isohn party, including Elwell, went to
a roof garden theater, where they re.
rnained until 1:30 when all left and
Elwell was seen to start on foot
toward his home. Here ends all un-
assailable evidence of the murder
viCtim's movements. A man told in
vestigators he had seen Elwell and a
woman in an upper Broadway dance
hall at much later hour. A neighbor
claimed to have seen Elwell driven
home by a man in racing car al
rectly after he left the Lewisohn
2:3O. A taxicab driver asserted he
had driven the sportsman hom- 6i-
party.
More important evidence seemed to
lie in the statements of Margaret
Entler, telephone operator, who
declares she tried to put through two
telephone calls from Elwell's home
between and 2:30 o'clock en- the
morning of the tragedy. The number
called in each case wss that of VIM.

formation of the United States Oil cor

"The purpose Of the legislation,
laid Secretary Payne, is to provide
the means for further promoting the

need of an assured supply of oil is so
great that the federal government
stands back of the endeavor to de-
velop foreign sources of oil to replace
in the future what America has eX-
ported in the past"
The Phelan bill provides that the
United States Oil corporation shall he
controlled by board of nine dire tors
appointed by the president. and the
corporation can explore, develop, rro-
fine, transport and store oil and its
products in foreign countries suoje' |
