RECALLS FORMER
ELWELL PARTNER
Official Seeks to Clear Up
Clashing Statements.

NEW YORK, July William Pendle.
ton, former business associate Of Joseph
Bovine Elwell, WAS summoned by District
Attorney Edward Swami today TO clear
up what officials said were contra dictory
statements regarding Pendleton's move
ments on the eve Of the murder of the
whist expert.
Swami said that from the evidence he
has obtained 1t is not improbable that
Pepdleton was In Elwell's home the
morning Of the murder"
"Pendleton in his first examination
said he went home early In the evening
OF June II and -" Swami said,
"Elwell was murdered the morning Of
June H.
"He said he put his automobile in his
own garage and went to he'd early,
"John Boyle an employe Of the Atlas
garage 4nformed us that Oliver Bird,
Jr.. friend of Pendleton's, drove Pen
dleton's automobile into the garage at ,
o'clock on the morning of the murder.
1--WE have found also taxi driver at
Cedarhurst who said he drove Pendle-
ton to the railroad station on the day
OF the murder, June H. In time to catch
the 1926 train TO New York"
Telephone operators informed author
titles that call was placed from the Ell
well home to the Pendleton home at AS
a. IN. the day Of the murder.
Commenting on this fact Swami said ::
ut is not improbable that Pendleton was
in Elwells home mt the time and was
calling his wife 80 tell her that he would
not be home that night"

DID 'CUSS OUT
WOMAN OR CAT?
Defendant Says Ldtter-JHdge
Must Decide.

Were rude words directed by Earl
Phillips, 1145 DelOss street, against Mrs.
Helen Sullivan, 114T DeLoss street. or
were those words director at Mrs. Sill
vans cat?
That was the all-important question
that Judge Walter Pritchard had to de
eide in city court today.
Philips had been arrested charged
with profanity, the arrest being made on
an affidavit sworn to by Mrs. Sullivan.
Mrs. Sullivan told the judge that Phil
lips had bought the house where the Sui
livans have been living just to make the
Sullivan family move.
Phillips testified that Sullivan's cat
had killed forty Of his chickens last year
and had started in this season by killing
four more.
1t was on the occasion of the violent
death Of chicken No. Sunday that the
rude" language was alleged to have
been used by Phillips, who testified, as
did two other witnesses, that he was
talking to the cat that was carrying
away one of his chickens.
Mrs. Sullivan and her two daughters
told the court that Phillips addressed his
words to Mrs. Sullivan, and the words
they said he used were rude in the ex
treme, but Phillips quoted other words
which he declared he used on that ,oc-
casion.
Judge Pritchard found him guilty and
fined Phillips 81 and costs, but sus-
pended the judgment

SEEK TO HOLD UP
SUFFRAGE LAW
Colby and Palmer Served With
Supreme Court Order.

WASHINGTON. July 7.-Bainbridge
Colby, secretary of state and A. Mitchell
Palmer, attorney general Of the United
States, today were served with an order
signed by Justice Bailey Of the supreme
court of the District OF Columbia, re-
qulring them to show cause by July 10
why they should not be restrained from
proclaimlng the ratification Of the suf-
frage amendment to the constitution OF
from prosecuting any law looking to its
enforcement.
This order was issued upon petition
of Charles S. JFairchild, an official of
the American Constitutional league, with
offices In Washington and New York,
and composed of citizens of a number
Of states.
1t is claimed by the plaintiff, formerly
a member of the Cleveland cabinet, that
the suffrage amendment is unconstitu-
tional and void, and that It's ratification
by the original Virginia Legislature had
been obtained by fraud.
1t is further stated that the state
Legislature Of Tennessee has no power
to ratify 1t.

COURT RULES TAX BOARD EXCEEDS POWERt
CONTRACT FOR
KEEPING MEN
IN JAIL SOUGHT
Recent Delivery Brings Action
by u. S. and County to
Fix Responsibility.
no, FRICTION IN MOVE

A contract between the federal
authorities and the county commits
sioners for the keeping of United
States prisoners at the Marion coun-
ty Jail will be entered into following
the wholesale escape of both state
and federal prisoners from the Jail.
District Attorney Frederick Van
Nuys has requested the authorities
at Washington, D. c., to send a rep
resentative to indianapolis to con-
suit with the county officers regard
ing the proposed drawing up of a
definite contract for housing federal
prisoners.
There has never been contract be-
tween the federal and county authorities
and the exposure of lax conditions at
the county Jail makes it imperative that
definite agreement be reached between
county and federal officials.
Commissioner Joseph G. Hayes con
tends that he has insisted for weeks that
a contract be made by which the federal
government pay the county 81 day for
keeping the prisoners
Under the old arrangement the sheriff
has received the money from the govern
ment for boarding the prisoners.
COUNTY PAYS
THE OVERHEAD.
"The county has been paying the over
head for the prisoners and It is my opin-
lon that the federal authorities should
meet their part Of the overhead expense"
said Mr.. Hayes.
Officers state that the contract should
be carefully drawn. fixing the overhead
charge to be paid by the federal govern
ment, rules governing conduct Of prison
ers and providing for federal supervision
over federal row" and a definite under
standing OF the nature OF food to be given
the prisoners.
IL is said on reliable authority that
such a definite contract will be welcomed
both by federal and county officers, as
the responsibility Of both parties Will be
determined.
County officials point out that since
the criminal court has ruled that a jailer,
unless he is sworn In as a deputy sher-
Ia. can not be legally responsible for
federal prisoners confined In the county
Jail. II Is hlgh time that a legal agree
ment be entered into fixing the respon-
sibility.
No STATE LAW
ON L. &. PRISONERS.
There Is no Indiana law which pro-
yides for county jails keeping federal
prisoners.
The question today appears 10 be this !:
There must bt a definite agreement made
between county and federal authorities
or federal prisoners win be removed 10
another Jail.
The county commissioners point out
that they are willing TO operate with
the government, but Il is now time to
have n definite understanding.
II Is understood thst District Attorney
VanNuys favors the making Of a definite
contract for keeping federal prisoners at
the jail.

Another Day With No
Coal Bids for State

The state purchasing committee failed
again today to receive any bids for the
supply of coal 10 state institutions and
the supply in the institutions coal bins
continued to diminish.
It is rapidly becoming apparent that
the plan to buy coal from day to day
until the state can purchase It's own coal
mine viii not prove successful.
The board, which asked for daily bids
last Wednesday, has not received more
than six bids since that time and has
purchased only twenty-one cars of coal
on these bids.
Ohio dealers who were included in the
list of those asked to submit bids, have
not submitted any figures.

avenue, was holding his hands high

gency squad reached the alley in the

CAMPAIGN SOON
TO TAKE FORM
Party Leaders Line Up Behind
Candidates, Bryan Only
Being in Doubt.
BID FOR WOMAN VOTE

SAN FRANCISCO, July Now
for the campaign.
Having nominated Gov. James NJ.
Cox for president and Franklin D.
Roosevelt for vice president, demo
cratic leaders today were making
preliminary arrangements for the
drive which they hope will land the
Ohio governor in the whitehouse.
The campaign got under way today
following adjournment of the demo-
cratic convention.
Plans were being made to make
special efforts to win the women's
vote in the belief that that will be
the deciding factor next November.
Statements from many prominent
women were being prepared indorsing
Cox.
It was learned that one of the first
steps viii be to line up Attorney Gen
eral Palmer and William G. McAdOo as
stump speakers.
COUNTING on MUCH
HELP FROM COLBY.
cambridge Colby is expected to be
one of ehe administrations best bets in
the fight.
1t is understood he was not given the
nomination FOR vice president because
leaders believed he could wage more
effective stump campaign if he were not
q candidate.
Roosevelt was rushed into the vice
presidential nomination after all leaders
of big delegations agreed to vote for
him.
The other aspirants for nomination
withdrew.
Apparently harmony reigned as the
convention adjourned.
There was no visible discord except
possibly in the camp Of William J.
Bryan, who opposed Cox and the plat
form. Bryan maintained ominous ~si-
lenee
The last moments Of the convention be-
came a general publication in which
Tammany, administration forces and
states which had held out for McAdoo
to the last Joined in cheering Cox and
Roosevelt.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 7.-senator
Hiram Johnson today broke the political
silence that has enyeloped him since his
defeat for the republican presidential
nomination at Chicago.

senator declaring that the league of ma

support of the party this fall will de-
pend largely on the attitude taken by
Harding on the league or nations.
After contrasting the declarations OF
the two parties on the league issue,
Senator johnson declared:
