DEEP MYSTERY
SHR0UDSDEATH
OF CHAS, ELR0D
Chemists Reports Believed to
Say No Trace of Poison
Was Found in Body

Iowa City, Bowa, Feb. 5.-tP)-
From a scientists investigation of
the death of Charles Elrod, baffled
authorities today were expected to
turn again to the stuffy little hotel
room at Marshalltown, Iowa, where
the Lewellen, Neb., mans body was
discovered on blood stained pillow
January 8.
Although Dean Wilbur J. Teeters
and Professor George G. Hanemann
of the University of Iowa, who have
made exhaustive tests of the Elrod
viscera, refused last night to dis
cuss their report to be made today
at Marshalltown, it was understood
their findings would practically du-
plicate the results Of a previous exam
ination in which Dean Teeters found
no traces of poisoning in the dead
mans body.
Such report would cloak the case
in greater mystery.
Elrod's body bore no marks of
physical violence, and some doubt
was expressed whether the cause of
his death will ever be established.
Testimony before the coroner's
jury pictured Elrod as wildly jealous
Of his sweetheart, l9-year-old Veda
Bellefeuille, just before his death.
She told Investigators that threaten
ing letters Elrod had, received from
supposed rival in love had been writ
ten by herself to arouse his jealousy.

New York, Feb. 5.-LP)-Litigatior

have lost several millions of dollars

holders to exchange their holdings
for common as provided for by the
cOmpanys charter.
A meeting of the Wheeling & Lake
Erie directors has been called for
Monday to consider prescribing regu-
lations for the conversion Of prior
lien and preferred stocks into COM
mon stock of the company.
President Simmons of the stock ex-
change, who announced the meeting,
said: ut is believed it will be neces-
sary to obtain approval Of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission and the
public utilities commission Of Ohio
to issue additional common, but this
should not take great while"
Short sellers began to think of
litigation after being told by the New
York Trust company, the Wheelino's
transfer agent, that no common
stock was available Tor conversions.
Company Lacks Means
According to the charter Of the
Wheeling 4 Lake Erie. it's six per
cent preferred stock is convertible
into the common at any time, on the
option Of the shareholder. on share
for-share basis. The failure of the
company to convert the stock is said
to be due to lack of means, the
company having no treasury stock to
issue for surrendered preferred.
Preferred stockholders who sold
common not alone suffered big losses
when frightened into covering, but
also have been forced to pay prem
iums ranging from 500 to $500 per
hundred shares each day they re-
mained short Of the stock. As this
payment was made to stock exchange
members, under rules Of the exchange,
it is stated, damage suits may be
filed against that institution, while
action against the railroad would be
based on the inability to make ex-
change.

Utah Fields and Orchards as

Logan, Utah, Feb. 5.-LR)-With
thousands Of field mice invading the
Richie Cache valley Of Utah, state and
county officials were distributing
poison grain while farmers elevated
the barnyard, cat to the grain bin pro-

W. R. Wrigley, a county agent, de-

poisoned grain had been distributed.
noted in the mouse army. He said
that the fields and orchards Of the
valley apparently are as badly in
tested with mice as Kern county in
4california recently was, and that the
possibility of damage to crops and
trees was greater.
A large supply Of grain has been
prepared and will be distributed in
the hope this method will prove as
successful as it did in California,
where rains drove the mice from
swamp lands.

VETS INSIST
ON DRY LAW
REFERENDUM
Petitions Will BE Circulated
to Put Question on Ballot
as Initiated Law

Voters of North Dakota will be
asked to vote on the question Of re-
tanning the prohibition clause in the
state constitution despite the recent
action Of the house, if plans Of the
wet group in the assembly mate
rialize.
The house vote against the bill to
submit the matter to the people was
" to Is, and the vets were surprised
at their own weakness. They had
expected defeat but had hoped TO
make better showing. They are not
discouraged, however, according to G..
r. Stretch, Bottineau county, wet
leader in the Nonpartisan faction.
he still is confident that the people
DO not want prohibition and proposes
to find out through the constitutional
provision for initiative measures.
Before the present session ends,
Stretch said, plans will be matured
for circulating petitions asking that
the question be placed on the ballot
at the next general or special cleo
tion Twenty thousand names will be
necessary to meet the constitutional
requirement but when that number
IS obtained no action Of the legis-
iature could keep the proposal off the
ballot.
The proposal will specify that no
special election be called, Stretch
said, in order that the cost may be
kept down.
If plans of the vets are carried to
fruition it will be the first time the
people will have had an opportunity
to vote directly on the question in
years, Stretch said.

DENIES STORY

Claims He Never Gave Out
Story Published in Vari.
Gus New York Papers

Otto Dahn, well known farmer of
the Driscoll vicinity, who has just
returned from trip cast, has en-
phatically denied that he gave out
any such statement as was published
al Waterloo, n. T., and subsequently,
copied in number of New York
state papers, concerning conditions
IN North Dakota. The article init
mated that Mr.. Dahn, who accom-
panied his son-in-law, Oscar Nelson.
who was moving with his personal
effects to farm near Waterloo. N.
T.. had told of farmers in North Da-
kota, Minnesota, and Iowa being in
desperate cumstances. 1t also de-
clared that the local men at Waterloo
had to assist the North Dakota men
IN buying feed for the livestock which
Nelson had shipped east to his new
home.
i was very much surprised when /
saw the clipping in the paper" Mr..
pam declared. because it was so
Tar removed from the truth. The
iact that 1T predicts a movement Of
land IN central New York state. and
quotes me as saying that many farm
ers from the midwest and northwest
VIII move there, rather indicates that
ests seeking to start land boom
in the vicinity Of Waterloo.

The idea that anyone there had to
help Mr.. Nelson with money to nav
on his freight or buy feed for his
livestock is ridiculous. He had
money. also had sufficient resources
to assist him if he needed help.

kota, and | certainly had no intcn-
ton of moving to New York state.
as stated in the article in question.
We concede that we have our ups
and downs in North Dakota, but from
the standpoint of a future agricul-
tural country consider it second to
none in the world.
"As for land boom, or even
land movement in the east. am
not sufficiently informed to make
any predictions, but l do know that
when farmers of other states realize
the opportunities that are offered in
North Dakota we will see thousands
of farmers coming here to make their
home. l believe as result Of NV
trip east, and after visiting with a
good many farmers, that North Da-
kota is in better condition than any
other agricultural section of the
