SCR|VENER DEATH
REMAINS MYSTERY
Weeks Efforts to Find Sotu-
ton of Murder Prove
FruitIess.

A week ago today Detective Serst
Arthur r. Scrivener was found short
" after I o'clock in the morning
murdered within sight of his home
1923 X street.
His right hand clutched A necktie
A 3S-caliber hammerless pistol was
found near his outstretched feet. All
except three serial numbers had been
filed off. and acid failed to bring them
out. A bullet. the only one fired
from this pistol. had pierced his heart
hut there were no marks OF violence
about the body His clothing had not
been disarraneed. There was no in
dicatiOn. other than the necktie of
any prolonged struggle. Scrivener
was to have been married on the
night of the day of his murder.
With these facts in hand, detectives
started investigation of the case.
Today, week later, they were GER
tain of the above details and little
else A week OF the most feverish
investigation prosecuted in recent
years by detectives produced scant
results. Two reports came to detec-
tives which they regarded with i'm
pOrtance second only to the details
meniioncd above. First. Mrs Annie
F., Stauff. inmate of home for aged
women At 1855 Wisconsin avenue,
told them that she had heard the
sound of low. quick voices in the
alley near Scrivener's garage shortly
before hearing the sound of a muff1ed
pistol shot.
Secondly. two soldiers, held for a
time as deserters and then turned
over to the military authorities. de-
clared that they had seen a racing
blue roadster speed up Wisconsin
avenue away from the scene of the
crime shortly after l o'clock that
morning.
That roadster has never been
located or identified. Mrs. Stauff's ac-
count stands unverified by corrobora-
ting witnesses.
With these elements the investi-
cation of the case went forward. Per-
sons friendly to Scrivener were aues-
toned aS7H re-questioned. Police
interviewed Miss Helen Barnes
Parker. his tiancee. and Miss Cath
crime Markey his former fiancee. They
looked in vain for a motive for the
killing.
Today the puzzle remains unsOlved.
Clues run out, theories upset and
blown up; premises punctured, the
detectives admit they are no further
with the investigation than they were
a week ago.

ddate for the Senate in Illinois, that
his campaign fund should not ex.
ceed $4,000 was testified to today
before the Senate campaign funds

millionaire merchant of Chicago.
Asked by Chairman Reed if there
had been any suggestion among Ma

fund Of from 100000 to 100000
Rosenwald declared that this was
absolutely untrue"
I'VE agreed that the total fund
should not exceed $25 900" he said
adding that he had agreed to con
tribute up to $4,000 Of this amount
and that Logan Hay. State Senator
of Springfield. had agreed to give
81 900.
KIan Charges PrObed.
Turning aside from it's investiga-
ton of the senatorial contest, the
committee undertook to get at the
bottom of charges that politics in
Indiana has been controlled by the
Ku KluX klan through United States
Senator's.
AS preliminary to this investiga
ton Senator Reed has issued sub
poenaes for Clyde A. Walb, chairman
of the Republican State committee OF
Indiana, and Earl S. Peters, chair
man of the Democratic State com.
mittee.
The chairman planned to question
Walb particularly concerning his re
cent statement that international
bankers We're expending q large sum
of money in Indiana in an effort to
defeat Senators James +. Watson and
Arthur Robinson because of their
opposition to American adherence to
the World Court.
Senator Reed gave no indication
whether he would issue subpoena
for Thomas II. Adams. Nincennes,

vestigation of political conditions in
the Hoosier State.

Stephens Holds Commission
Cannot Order Dissolution
of Utility Corporation.

The Public Utilities Commission Is
poverless to order the dissolution of
anv public utility corporation, ac-
cording to an opinion rendered lntor
mally today by Corporation Counsel
Francis H. Stephens, in answer to
William Nick. Clayton, chairman Oh
the public utilities committee of the
Federation of Citizens Associations
who questioned the legality OF the
transfer of the Washington Rapid
Ira ansit Co from it's former owner 10
the North American Co, at a pubic
hearing Monday on the application OF
the company for authority to chare'
straight cash fare of 10 cents on hS
bus lines in the District.
Mr.. Stephens said he would give
the question further study. however
and submit a written opinion to the
commission not later than Monday.
The hearing on the bus company $
auplication will be resumed next
Wednesday,
Mr.. Clayton's contention was that
a. provision of paragraph "a OF the
public utilities law had been violated
because the stock of the company
had been transferred without the
written approval of the commission
Mr.. Stephens held that this provision
was repealed in the La Toilette anti
merger act of 1914, which requires
that Congress authorize a transfer of
public utilities corporation. The
act of 1925 authorizing n merger of
the traction cOmpa nies. Mr.. Stephens
said. repealed the section of the La
Toilette anti-merger act dealing with
the transfer of stock
According to Mr.. Stephens. the
question of the legality of the trans
fer of the Washington Rapid Transit
Co. will have to be determined by the
Equity Court. through an appeal by
either the commission. the Fedora
Government or a shareholder.

with only misleading fictitious pros

change, Sir Alan Anderson, director of
the Bank of England and acting presi.
dent of the International Chamber Of

Sir Alan said France was being inn

unhealthy currency triCked the trader
into losses while he believed he was
doing business for himself and for
France.
Germany, he said, still was i'm u
ConvalesCent state. She was getting
better. but her full recovery was
hampered by hostile tariffs. England
also was recovering last year, but the
coal strike and the general strike
upset the improved conditions and
caused serious losses. Germany had
been able to pay reparatiOns only be
cause she had borrowed money To- du
