OuIJA BOARDS TRY

New York, July 2G.--Ouija board,

the mysterious murder of Joseph
Bowen Elwell, turfman, car expert and
don Juan"
Since the body of the gambler was
found in his handsome residence here
last month, with bullet through the
forehead, alleged clues, motives and
revelations of the murderer himself
have been gathered from ethereal
planes by the thousands and dumped
upon an admittedly bewildered staff
of the district attorneys Office.
All these occult cOmmunicat tions are
not discarded. While disclaiming any
faith in Ouija's ability as crime in
vestigator, the District Attorney never
theless admits that he has assigned a
man to the special duty of reading Oc-
cult contributions and to submit to him
any conveying apparently
useful information. An anonymous
communication pudrporting to be
an occult revelation may contain
q valuable clue, Mr.. Swami believes.
his theory being that the criminal might
use this method Of informing on a con
federatc.
Anonymous communicates purport
to reveal prelude, plot and climax Of
the crime.
The missing automatic pistol with
which Elwell was shot has been 10
Gated by Quill boards or other super
natural means, in fvery, part of the
Elwell home, from the sitting room in
which the murder was committed down

staff say they expect no surcease from
the persistent profigacy of occult as
sistance now being forced on them.

IOWA DOOMED TO
DEATH At SEA
Famous Ship Which had
Part in Spanish Ameri-

Doomed.
USED AS TARGET
Will be Sent to Sea to be
B0mbarded by a
Fleet.
(By The Associated Press.) }

Washington, ID. c., July 26.-The onc'
famous battleship, Iowa, which played
no small part in the destruction o.
| Ceyera's fleet at Santiago, under com
mand of the equally famous captain
Bob Evans, is being prepared at thu
Philadelphia navy yard for what nava
officers say will be one Of the most
unique target experiments ever at
tempted.
Proceeding unnamed, but under hel
own steam and controlled by radio
probably from seaplanes, the old sea
fighter will become the objective Of the
big guns of the Atlantic fleet super
Illreatlnongii.s il Chesapeake Bayclate
this summer. This will be the first
time that American warships have us
led moving craft for target except
in actual war.
To Use Oil.
Two of the Iowa's coal burning boil.
ers are being converted to burn oil SO
the ship may continue under way with
no one aboard once her fires have been
started burning and her engines placed
in motion.
1t Is expected that the unique prac-
tice will give the gunpointers Of the
Atlantic fleet an opportunity to test
their ability under conditions as nearly
like those to be expected in battle as
can be obtained. Smoke screens will
be thrown around the Iowa during the
runs and the course will be changed at
will through the radio control sys-
tenn, necessitati Ting change in range on
all the firing ships, exactly as would
occur in action.
Ship Stripped.
The Iowa has already been stripped
of some of its guns and much valu.
able metal and the practice will be con-
tinued until the old vessel, mass of
twisted metal, sinks beneath the waves
to join the old Texas, which. as the
San Marcos, was used for as station
ary target years ago.
The battleship. Ohio, has been turn
ed over to the Bureau Of steam engin-
eering for purposes Of experiment in
radio control and staff of expert
technical officers has been placed on
board to arrange the Iowa practice.
