said he would let Harris talk for
day or two more and then decide
whether to interview him.
Mrs. Elweli. widow OF the murdered
sportsman. declared tonight she had
never heard Of Mrs. Fairchild," who
was said by Harris to have hired his
companion and himself to commit the
crime. Mrs. Elwell asserted she had
little interest in seeing the affair re-
viyed."
Mrs. Marie Larsen who was Ell
wells housekeeper at the time of his
death also declared she never had
heard of MRS. FairchiId." Mrs.
Larsen found Elwell on the morning
of the murder, sitting in an arm
chair clad only in his pajamas, and
with a bullet through his head.
While local police We're inclined to
doubt the story told by Harris, they
delved into the fact he brought out in
an effort to learn whether it was au-
thentic. 1t was pointed out that Har-
fis may have knowledge as to who
actually committed the murder or he
may have heard rumors of it among
associates in the underworld. Many
theories were propounded as to why
he might have made his confession,
one being he desired to get to New
York, divert interest from other
charges against him which are said
to be pending at various points and
eventually get his release.
District Attorney John 7. Dollin.
who conducted the investigation fol-
lowing the murder declared he did not
believe Harris story.

POLICE PUZZLED
ON NEW YORK END

New York April 7.-Oficials investi-
eating the confession of Roy Harris to
Buffalo police that he and a COM
Npanien named William Duncan MUIR
defed Joseph b. Elwell, wealthy club
man and bridge whist expert, last
June, tonight admitted that they were
baffied. While they said Harris had
shown intimate knowledge of many
details of the crime, so many of his
statements with the actual facts in
the case that it was almost impossible
to believe his story.
Former Governor Charles s. Whit

ton into the mystery that has puzzled
police for nearly 10 months, said he
was not ready to form an opinion as
to whether the story was true. He
said he was interested, but IL true it
would upset every theory he had
formed in the case. Mr.. Whitman

While he declined to give any de-
tails concerning the autopsy. it was

no official action probably would be

ceived formal notification from con-
tractor James Cape and Sons of Ra-
cine this morning that the work of paw

said the city engineer this morning,
"but I understand that this work will
not bring any further delay in the
having of the street The company has
been busy putting in the services and
it has. laid conduits at the cross

PREMIERS PREFER
AMERICAN TREATY
Australian and Canadian Governor
Generals Oppose Renewal of Anglo
Japanese Alliance.
tBy Associated Press Leased Wire)

10y, Associated II eSS Leased WlTeJ
London.-A speech by Premier Mel
CHEN of Canada on the Anglo-Japanese
treaty entirely occupied this mornings
session of the conference of imperial
premiers. This afternoon Premier
Hughes of Australia will give his
views. Mr.. Meighen is understood to
have opposed renewal of the treaty
on the ground that it already has serv-
ed it's purpose and to have strongly
presented the case of Canada, which is
that everything possible should be
done for preservation and improve
ment of the good relations between the
United States and the British Empire
1t is understood the proposal was made
that the question of renewal of the
treaty should be postponed several
months-in which case it automatically
would continue-in order to enable
the Canadian and Australian premiers
to return home to consult with their
colleagues, and, if necessary, to have
referendums of their people to uphold
or reject the proposals settled at the
imperial conference.
