Forgotten? Al! By i ttitrU Press NEW YORK, Oct. 22.—Alfred E. Smith learned today that as far as underwear is concerned, he is not the forgotten man. In his Tammany Hall speech Wednesday night, the former presidential candidate, referred jokingly to patches on his undergarments. Since then he has been deluged with letters and telephone calls demanding to know what size, what kind, and what color preferred. Smith has modestly declined to reveal his tastes but a whispering campaign has it that he prefers long, fuzzy woolies, not necessarily red.

Frontispiece of Joseph B. Elwell’s book on bridge. came down on his vest front with a sort of plop. There was a very special gleam in his old eyes. He grumbled something in German. Then he added, “A diffcult case, old man. I had to fight six weeks to make that a murder.” It was the morning of June 11, 1920, that Joseph B. Elwell, sportsman and expert at bridge and love, was found sitting at a table in his home a bullet through his head. But the story should begin long before that.

a a a THIS Joseph Elwell was the father of modern bridge in America. He was the first bridge tilor in New York City, the prototype of a profession, the instigator of a social revolution, a man who by his life and death summed up an entire era. He appeared obscure and unknown as the gaslights were being turned down on the mauve decade. By the turn of the century he had played his way to power, had gained entree to the best hemes in the city. He, moreover, had founded his fortune at $lO an hour, and later, as the new gambling game became a social institution, at $1 a point. By 1901 bridge whist had become such an institution that the pulpit and press were baying in alarm. #

a a a THE rise of Joseph Elwell was signalized in such newspaper headlines as “Bridge Whist the Bane of the ‘4oo’ ” —“Clergymen Now Up in Arms Against Gambling, to Which It Leads”—“Clubs Given Over to the Game and Society Matrons Have Classes in Its Art." Names of the players were printed, “Society Women Who Play Bridge Whist”; Mrs. Ogden Mills, Mrs. T. j, Oakley Rhinelander, Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt Jr.; Mrs. Hermann Oelrichs, etc. The suggestion everywhere in those days was that bridge whist was an instrument of the devil and that very interesting things were happenihg in the social back-stage if only the scenery could be removed for inspection. The town had to wait twenty years for that. The curtain was not raised until that morning in June, 1920, when Mrs. Marie Larsen, a housekeeper, ran into the street screaming, “Get a policeman. Mr. Elwell has been shot.” Within twenty-four hours the city was rocking with the sensation. For it soon came out that Joseph Elwell had lived just as interesting a life as the editors and clerics had suspected. Seventy-five photographs of women were found in that art cluttered house on West Seventieth street, where Elwell, separated

Strange Ship ‘Trails' Fleet; Stirs Navy

By United Press SAN PEDRO, Cal., Oct. 22. Puzzled as to the identity and intent of a strange, unnamed ship which, for days, persistently has trailed the Pacific fleet, naval officers today planned new secretive stratagems to conceal fleet movements. Never venturing inside the twelve-mile limit, which would make it possible for officers to question her crew, the mysterious vessel has refused to be shaken from the trail of the fleet. When the fleet steams into port, the ship, which some believe to be a reconditioned destroyer, at once anchors just outside the limit. When the fleet puts out for new maneuvers, the speedy, black boat follows. % a a st AT first officers believed the ship, which resembles a tanker, was standing by to refuel the vessels. Oil company officials, however, have asserted that they know nothing of the ship, and it has been said that navy barges and tankers alone distribute fuel to the fleet. The strange ship, which carries no flag, is not registered at any coast port, investigation showed.

Joseph B. Elwell. Above, Dr. Charles Norris photographed at the morgue where he performs autopsies.

from his wife, had lived in elegant freedom. Many of the women had widely known names. They apparently had thrown themselves at the bridge expert without minding the crush. Upstairs police found a complete gaming room, including a faro table and a roulette wheel. There was a wealth of evidence that Elwell had lived a high stake life, both at cards and at love. a a a '“A VERY difficult case, old -L\- man,” grumbled Dr. Charles Norris, chief medical examiner, looking back at it from the vantage point of twelve years. “I got the call at home about 9 in the morning. By the time I got to the house he had been removed to the hospital. "He still was alive, you know. Didn’t die until around noon. He didn’t regain consciousness. “I always wished I had gotten there before they took him away They found him sitting at a table on ..the first floor, you know. “He was in a dressing gown, and he had left his false teeth and toupee upstairs. Must have looked a bit strange. He was only 47, but I guess he had led a hard life. "All those women, they didn’t know he had lost his teeth and his hair, I guess. “The fact that he had left his hair and teeth upstairs was quite a point in the case, proof that he hadn’t expected to see any one. Or, if he did expect to see some one, it was a person who knew him intimately. The postman. I remember, had left seme letters in the outside box at 7:45 a. m. So, Elwell apparently came down, got the letters and sat down to read them. The letters were lying on the floor near the table, soaked in blood. One of them, from his horse trainer, had been opened. He had a fine string of horses down in Kentucky, you know. “The housekeeper and a detective or two were in the house when I got there. The scene had not been disturbed.

“She’s built over to resemble a tanker," said a naval officer, an Annapolis graduate. “But in my opinion, the ‘Question Mark,’ as the boys call her, is a reconditioned destroyer.

“There was an empty cartridge on the rug, from a .45-caliber army revolver. I noticed there was no revolver, however. I turned to the housekeeper. ‘Where’s that gun?’ I demanded. She said she had never seen any gun. She said she had arrived at the house at 8:30 a. qp. and found him sitting there unconscious, groaning. a a a “'T'HE next thing I noticed was A that the telephone on the table was broken. It was an oldfashioned wooden piece. “‘Who broke this telephone?’ I asked. The housekeeper said she didn’t know it was broken. But it was, old man. “Very peculiar. The wood was cracked, and it wouldn’t w’ork for an outgoing call. I always attached a great deal of importance to that. There was some sort of a struggle before Elwell was shot. I’m sure of that. “He was taken by surprise, perhaps, while he was reading his morning mail. Possibly he didn’t realize his danger until he saw the revolver. Then he tried to seize the telephone and it was knocked from his hand. “Well, I ordered that his body be sent to the morgue as soon as he was dead. I made the autopsy that afternoon. “He was drilled through the head, right in the center of his eyebrows. He never could have inflicted that wound himself. There was about three inches of powder bum around the wound. “That indicated the revolver had been held at least four or five inches away. No man could hold a .45 that far away and shoot himself straight through the head. “It can’t be done, old man. Even a contortionist couldn’t do it. You can do it with a .32 or a .38, but not with a .45, old man. “The revolver was missing, but that wasn’t the main point. Many a time someone interested has hidden the revolver in cases of suicide. That’s the insurance angle. “But that wasn’t the main point in the Elwell case. The point was

he couldn’t have inflicted the wound himself. I said it was murder. “And fancy my surprise, old man when I found that the district attorney and the police were determined to believe it suicide.”

THERE was plenty of social pressure, one may believe, to have Joseph Elwell declared a suicide. Within a week, a whole directory of important names was glittering on the edge of the focused floodlights. Pressure kept many of the names from ever becoming public. The clews ran all the way from Belmont park to Palm Beach to Carlsbad. Corporation presidents were drawn into the muddle, on incidenal discovery that one of Elwell’s secretaries had sold them cases of whisky. It was one of those rare cases that touch off a whole social scene, a sociological document as well as a classic murder mystery. But the important thing, as you talk to Chief Norris, is how he proved it to be murder. That new chapter is this— When he became medical examiner he discovered there was little data on gun wounds. He proceeded to collect every known make of weapon in the world. He and Captain Cornelius W. Willemse, the detective, spent weeks shooting into every available type of material from every conceivable angle and distance. The result was a compilation that has been used by detectives v all over the world. ana “TT took me six weeks to make JL that a murder," grumbles Doc Norris, still angered about it. "They wouldn’t believe it until Captain Willemse got hold of an army officer, an expert on revolvers, and proved to the district attorney that no man could shoot himself that way with a .45." “Well, you proved it, Doc." “Yes, and if they had believed it earlier they might have gotten the murderer. I’ve always believed I knew who murdered Joseph Elwell.” “Who?” “What’s the use of asking, old man? Even if I told you, you couldn’t print it. It’s a classic mystery. Let it stand that way." Next: Dr. Norris will discuss the queer case of a man with a woman’s leg.

‘CONSTABLE’ IS ‘VINDICATED’ IN EVICTION CASE Judge Declares ‘Officer’ Was Within Rights in Slugging Affair. Charles Freeman, special "constable, Friday was vindicated of employing brutality in an eviction •disorder last month, when Municipal Judge Clifton R. Cameron dismissed two assault and battery charges against the officer. Cameron heard evidence on Oct. 6 in one case and on Oct. 14 in another, postponing his decision until today. In freeing the constable, Cameron said: “This man had a writ to serve and he had the state of Indiana back of him—a writ ordering him to dispossess these people. ‘‘There was a crowd there to prevent him doing this. He had the power and the right to use all force necessary to execute that writ. If he had gone beyond this, he would have been liable. I do not think he used more force than necessary. I therefore dismiss both charges.” “Thank you. Judge,” said Freeman as he walked away. Freeman- was charged in two complaints with slugging Robert Griffin, 42, of 559 Marion avenue, and striking Mrs. Della Bridgewater, 45, of 826 Coffey street, with a chair during an eviction of Mr. and Mrs. James H. Evans and their six children from the Coffey street address. Mrs. Bridgewater is Mrs. Evans’ mother.

The “constable” is alleged to have struck Griffin with a blackjack from behind as Griffin, attracted by the uproar attending the eviction, stood on the sidewalk, talking, at the Coffey street address. The alleged slugging was attested by Sergeant Noel Jones, who sat nearby In a police cruiser and arrested Freeman. Bearing issued in the court of T. S. Crutcher, Irvington justice of the peace, Freeman went to the Evans home Sept. 15 with the command: “Come on! Get your clothes on, because I’m going to put you out. I’m tired of monkeying with you.” Occupants of the house said he displayed no badge and read no papers. Seating himself on the pdrch, Freeman waited two hours for a truck to arrive and then, it is alleged, tore down an American flag nailed over the doerway, bioke the door, and entered. During the altercation inside, Freeman is alleged to have struck Mrs. Bridgewater on the head with a chair and attacked, W’ith another chair, Mrs. Evans and Mrs. Anna Mount, a neighbor. Rushing from the house. Freemen, it is alleged, charged into the crowd, ' striking Griffin and several other bystanders. Police quelled the disorder and arrested Freeman.

Teacher Wins 12-Year Fight to Regain License

Took Up Study of Law, and Battles Long to Be Reinstated. A school teacher, who took up study of law so he could fight through court a decree revoking his teaching license, has won a twelveyear battle when his permit was restored. Fulfilling a mandate of superior court, George C. Cole, state superintendent of public instruction, issued an order reinstating Florus W. Shaddy, 2012 Caroline street. Shaddy fought his long battle tingle handed. When his license s teacher in Whiteland school was revoked in 1920, he set out to right what he termed a “greivous wrong." He spent long hours scanning law volumes. In his preliminary skirmishes the court decisions were against him. He went back to .his law books and started again. At last Superior Judge Clarence Weir upheld his petition, giving Shaddy a victory over trained, experienced legal authorities. Judge Weir mandated the state board to grant Shaddy all licenses for which he had prepared. Asa result he will receive a first grade high school certificate, and principal’s, grammar and rural licenses, all effective for life.

MORE JOBS, IS GOAL OF HOME LOANBANKERS Patriotic Duty to Extend Loaning Power, Building Association Told. ‘ It is the patriotic duty of building and loan associations to take part in the functioning of the home loan bank in order to resume their loaning power to their individual clients,’’ Morton Bodfish of Chicago, member of the federal home loan bank board, said in an address Friday afternoon at the Lincoln. • Bodflsh was the principal speaker at the annual convention of the Building and Loan League of Indiana. Speaking on the subject, “Hard Times and Mortgages,” Bodflsh described workings of the home loan bank as it effected the individual association and the citizens of their communities. “The public has a right to expect the building and loan associations to arrange their affairs in such manner that they can continue functioning as lending agencies,” Bodflsh declared. “There are enough jobs in Indiana, Illinois and Michigan for painters, carpenters and roofers to solve the unemployment problems of these trades for the next three years,” he declared, “if money can be obtained to finance the work. It is to supply this money that we have set as our goal.” Second objective will be to care for the refinancing needs of homeowners which require assistance in carrying their loans and saving their homes from foreclosure, Bodfish said.
