Senator Clark Almost Sure
Senator Bennett G. Clark, D., Mo-,
who challenged the Roosevelt adj
ministration often in his first term,
is up for denomination today in
what appears to be a runaway
contest. Only a political miracle
could unseat him. Clark was SO Sc
curely situated in Missouri that
whatever plans may have been con-
sidered to punish him for opposing
judiciary reorganization and other
Roosevelt measures must have been
abandoned long ago. The new deal
may dislike him, politically, but his
denomination long has been forecast
here by politicians.
The Missouri battle is between
Governor Lloyd c. Stark and Pen
dergast for top position in the state
organization. The fight involves
merely judgeship, but returns may
indicate whether a new political star
is rising in the Missouri valley.
Stark was elected in 1886 with Pen

LEWISOHN DEATH
RECALLS MURDER
Continued from Page y

A graduate of the Sheffield scien-
tific School of Yale University,
Lewisohn became senior member OF
the firm when his father died. He
was member of the New York
Stock Exchange, the New York Cof-
fee Exchange and the New York
Cotton Exchange.
His fortune at one time was es-
timated as high as $10,000,000. He
had a summer home at ElkWood
Park, N. j., and a residence in
Manhattan.
Elwell Murder Recalled
In 1909 Lewisohn married Selma
Kraus, who became known on the
operate and concert stage as Nine.
Marie Selma. She was a sister Of
Viola Kraus, a friend Of Joseph B.
Elwell to whom, before he was mys-
teriousl slain, she was reported en-
gagged.
Lewisohn's friendship for Elwell
resulted in sort of gambling and
show backing partnership. Shortly
before the Elwell murder one OF
their shows ran up a $4,000 debt.
1t was said Elwell was unable to
pay his share of the loss.
On June 10, 1920, the Lewisohns,
Miss Kraus and Elwell had party
at the Ritz Carlton hotel in New
York. They were celebrating, 1t was
said, Miss Kraus' divorce from Vic
tor Won Schlegell. They went to
"ziegfelds Midnight Frolic" after
ward, and it was 2 a. m. or later
when his friends said good bye to
ElWell.
Body Of Elwell Found
At 8 a. m. Elwell, in his pajamas,
was found dead In a chair at his
West 10th street home. A .45-caliber
bullet had gone through his head and
buried itself In the wall. Before
him, on a table, was an opened
letter which had been delivered at
1885 a. m.
Painters at work next door said
no one had approached or left the
house but the letter carrier and the
housekeeper who found the body.
The killing never was solved.
LeWisohn's fortunes went down
from that time on. Collapse OF
pool In Seneca Copper took a con-
siderable part of his wealth. II
1928 he was committed to the San
itarium where, to humor him, a
disconnected telephone was in
stalled. He fancied he. could con-
verse over it with his former Board
way companions.
At the time he was committed
Lewisohn's fortune had shrunk to
81 100000. In 1928, when the estate
was estimated at less than $500, 900,
Mrs. Lewisohn obtained divorce
