Washington, Dec. l5.-Thc body Of
Representative John A. Elston of Cal

tomac river late today. A note found
In the congressman coat said he was
caught in "a chain of circumstance
which spells ruin"
Mr.. Elston, it was said tonight. dis
appeared Tuesday morning, but was
found by detectives that evening.
Within few hours, however, he again
disappeared and that was the last
seen of him. 1t is believed that he
plunged into the river late that night.
lie apparently had been suffering un-
der mental depression, although he
had gi:en no evidence of it until he
disappeared Tuesday. Upon being
found that evening he was given med
ical attention.
Failure Of the government to un
dertake extensive development of the
Alameda, Cal, naval base project was
understood 10 have been cause of
great concern to him, as he had from
the hrst given close attention to this
proposed development. Whether 9TH
er matters pertaining to his district
had also weighed upon his mind could
net be determined tonight, although
Ii was asserted that he had decided
not TO stand tor reelection next fall.
Mr.. Elston's hat and overcoat were
found on the bank of the river about
the time the body was recovered. The
note found on the body said:
II am in a chain of circumstances
that spells ruin, although my offense
was innocently made in the beginning.
l hope all the facts come out My stay
means embarrassment to my district
and to a'worthy people, clean and
generous"
Mr.. Elston was elected to congress
as Republican from the Sixth Cali
fornia district and had been a mem
ber of the house since the Sixty-fourth
congress. He was born at Woodland
Cal, February 10, 1875. In 1889 h.
was admitted to the California bar

DAUCHERTY ASKS
LYON TO RESIGN
By Hugh w. Roberts.

Washington, Dec. 15-The attorney
general has asked for the resignation
of c. j. Lyon, United States marshal
of the Western district of South Caro-
lima.
Mr.. Lyon in Washington today con-
ferred with Senator's Smith and Dial.
and Representatives Byrnes and Nc
Swain, and later with the attorney
general. He left tonight for home
without making a statement and with
out intimating whether or not he
would comply with the request of the
attorney general.
No charges have been preferred
against Mr.. Lyon. This is admitted
by the attorney general, but the at
torney general states that unless Mr..
Lyon does resign, he will order an in
vestigation. 1t is believed that if an
investigation is ordered it will be bas-
ed on the manner in which Lyon has
assisted in the enforcement of the
prohibition laws in South Carolina.
If Lyon were permitted to complete
his term he would serve until March,
1923. That the attorney general is
desirious of departing from the ad-
m'nistration policy of permitting
Democratic office holders to complete
their terms is evidently due to pres
sure exerted by observing" Republi-
cans hungry for the spoils of office.
1t is regarded as highly probable that
the attorney general is moved to pro-
ceed against Mr.. Lyon because of the
difficulty that Joseph Tolbert, Repub-
lican referee in South Carolina, has
experienced in efforts to secure for his
brother, R. R. Tolbert, the Office of
internal revenue collector
1t is reported that d. H. Blair, COM
missioner of internal revenue, has
been unwilling to approve the ap-
pointment Of R. r. Tolbert. 1t is the
gossip tonight that on account of the
pressure Of Referee Tolbert and the
obdurancy of Blair, the attorney gen.
eral has decided to eliminate the en-
ba rrassing situation by giving the
referees brother the job of marshal
While it is the gossip there is nat
urally no outstanding authority to
who it can be traced.
y action of the attorney general
in proceeding against Mr.. Lyon in the
total absence Of charges pending
against him, is regarded by South
Carolina congressman as autocratic
and evidence of a complete disregard
for the amenities ordinarily govern
ing such situations

CAMDEN YOUTH
STAYS FATHER

Camden, Dec. 15.-W. Hamp Jor-
dan, white man, said to be about
30 years of age, was shot and instant
ly killed about one mile north of
Westville in this county, early We'd
nesday evening.
Coyt jordan, lad of about 10
years and son of the dead man, was
held today bya coroner's jury charged
with the killing. From the evidence
produced at the inquest it was testi-
ned that the elder Jordan came home
in an intoxicated condition and began
a row with the family. He is said to
have slapped one of the children and
had his knife drawn in the act of at
tacking another, when Coyt Jordan
went outside the house with his shot
gun and fired at him through the
glass. The load took effect in his
right eye, killing him instantly.
There were four witnesses examin-
ed by the coroner's jury, with ]. ".
Young as foreman, and they all testi-
fled practically the same. Some of the
witnesses were not members of the
family but were visiting at the home
at the time. Jordan was n natice of
Chesterfield county, but had been re-
siding around Westville for two years
or more. The killing occurred about z
o'clock.

LAURENS POLICEMAN
KILLED YESTERDAY

Laurens, Dec. 15.-After remain
ing in the county Jail few hours,
Monroe Willard and Luther Timmons,
two Clinton men, who are charged
with killing Policeman Hosea Martin
of Laurens last night in battle with
officers, were taken by the sheriff
this afternoon to the State peniten-
tiary as a precautionary measure.
Coroner Il. r. Qwings held the in
quest today and the jury returned a
verdict charging Willard and Tim
mons with the death of Officer Martin.
The tragedy occurred near Lisbon
church, six miles south of Laurens,
shortly before midnight. The Clinton
men, it is alleged, were carrying a
Rad OF whiskey from the upper part
OF the state, having been suspected
earlier in the evening by Rural Off
Ger Owens, who was on the watch
out for them in the Gray Court sec
ton. The men had eluded him, how
ever, and the officer telephoned Chief
Crows TO get other officers and assist
in intercepting the alleged whisky
runners before they got to Clinton.
With Policeman Martin and Rural Po-
liceman Abrams, Chief Crows drove
at once to Clinton, thence back toward
Lisbon. Here his party was joined
by Officer Owens and other officers.
At about this time the anticipated
car hove in sight. Policemen Crows
and Martin alghted, Martin stepping
out ahead and calling to the men to
hold up. AS he advanced to the side
Of the car he was fired upon from the
automobile and Immediately sank to
his knees mortally shot in the left
side. lie opened fire in return, as
did Chief Grows and Policeman Wham
and there was a general exchange of
shots as Willard and Timmons sped
away, making their escape without be-
ing hit, though their car was pune
turcd with bullets from the raiding
party.
Officer Owens and other officers
gave pursuit while Chief Crows and
others placed the wounded officer in
their car and rushed him to Clinton
Martin died, however, on the way just
as the party was driving into Clinton.
Cficers following Willard and Tim
mons found "A ten gallon key of whis-
key in the wake of the fleeing ma
chine, bat failed to overtake the
fugitives. The Willard car was found
at Clinton garage and at o'clock
this morning the two men surrendered
to Sheriff Reid, who had gone to
Clinton during the night to assist in
apprehending the alleged whiskey
runners. They were brought to the
county Jail.
Willard and Timmons are young
men. Policeman Martin, native of
Young's township, had been on the
city police force here for two years
and was fine officer. Six small chill
4drep survive him, his wife having
died only few months ago. /-7@''
