At lonct thnt Is the Inference from n tflfnlione notation found br the Now York detective who nre'trj-lng to clear tin the moit bnffllnir murder., mystery Jher hnve had to denl with In venrs. It Is understood the New York de tectives will go Chester to run down inv possible clue which might bo fur alAed by the telephone number. The rhester telephone exchnnge wild today that It would be extremely difficult to trace a call made from Chester to Ell well's Nov York home, unless there was some definite. clue from which to 1 The number found by the police looks like "Chester 12." That number Is tho office lilting of Samuel Lyons, a Chester attorney. And there the clue If clue It be comes to a dead end, for Mr. Lyons did not know Elwcll, and no ono In his office had called any New York number on the date given or any other date,' for weeks. Hoes Not Know Elwell "I'd like well enough to give the Kew York detectives a clue," said Mr. Irons, "but it is just ns mvstifylng to me as to any one else. The first I heard of It was when one of the Chester Mners called me up. I did not know Elwell, though I had heard of him as an tipert on auction bridge. Nor did nny one else connected with my office know him. I sent over to the Bell Telephone Co.'s office in Chester ana una the rec ords looked up. They showed that no call had been made for any New York number from my office. We have not even had any business with New York recently. "The number fouria In New York might have been written down Inaccu rately. Or It might bo that the Chester exchange was confused with some one of the other exchanges In the neighborhood of Chester. That Is the only explana tion I can think of. Thinks CIuo Useless "Of course. It Is only by working out clues like this one going Into every tmallest detail that the police will be able to get to the bottom of the murder mystery." It had been suggested come one not connected with Mr. Lyons's office- used lis telephone for a New York call, but this theory Is overturned by the rec ords of the telephone company at Ches ter. Meanwhile, this notation of a Chester number is the nearest that the Elwell mystery has come to Philadel phia. kB .tvt v kkkkkkkFHT F8feL5i bihBrHI , ledger Photo Scrvlco T. n. N.

The district attorney's office Is also trying to nscertalu the Identity of two girls who snkl a few days ago that while passing the Elwell hnmo in. v,i day morning they had sen a man leave with a girl and had heard her say to him : "Come on. pop, let's get away from here, quick I" This story, not taken very seriouslv at the time, in view of the Kentucky theory, now Is thought worth careful inquiry. Elwell w1Ts"entertalned by the best of families during his stay m Lexington, TWiere many wished to know the man to whomVas ascribed the authorship of many well-known uorks on bridge whist. Elwcll, It Is said, deeply disap pointed many of thcW people by finding various excuses for not playing cards with them. A former trainer of Elwell's horses Is said to have borne him a deep grudge because he had been discharged after he had nttempted to "hold out" some money Elwell had given him for one of hlR jockeys. A report received from Lexington In dicated Elwell had been shot by a woman there sixteen years ago and that be had refused to nress nnv comnlnlnt against her. The nssault Is said to have occurred while he was standing in ironc oi mo wait Mouse. There are manv men nml wnmon tn New York nnd out of It who, In their own mind, mignt have had good rea sons to shoot the bridge whist expert and Uroadway habitue. As a result the detectives ntid Assistant District Attorney John Joyce, who made their headquarters In the murdered man's house, have an embarrassing wealth of suspects, but unfortunately very lit tle concrete proof against any of them. Every detective who went forth to clear up some part of Elwell's life came back with names of new persons who had plenty of motive for tho crime. It was a case of motives, motives every where, but not a clue to fit, A new woman in tho case bobbed Into view yesterday. This was the wife of a young army officer. IIer husband is said to have won a judgment of SIBO.OOO from another man, not Elwell. for alienating tho nffectlons of his wife while he was fighting In Frnnco. This woman, who has been a moving picture actress, was questioned by a detective about her relations with Elwell, but In sisted that al she knew nbout him was that h( had once been pointed out to her nt Saratoga and she told her mother that she had seen "thnt wonderful man Elwcll." She will be questioned fur thcr. but Is looked upon merely as one of a number of similar sidelights on Elwcll. Even in death Elwcll continues to ex ert n peculiar influence over women. Of every ten automobiles which drove throned Seventieth street and slowed down purposely in front of the house nt least seven or eight contained women passengers, who Razed eagerly out upon the house in which the murder occurred. Cincinnati, June 17. Information was sought at the Latonia race track today among horsemen by Detective Henry 1. Oswald, of New lork, in con nection with the murjlcr of Joseph B. Elwcll. Lloyd Gentry, trainer, who Is racing tho Elwcll horses,, and E. It. L'vadiey, a Lexington friend of Elwcll, were among those questioned by officers. It Is reported thnt Oswald later went to Lexington. "ELWELL WON WOMEN BY INDIFFERENCE" New York, June 17. "Joseph El wcll attracted women by his indiffer ence to them 'instead of decking them," said L. H. Grocn, of this city, his con fidential financial adviser, today. "Ills homes, particularly tho ono he main tained nt Palm Beach, wcro artistically furnished, nnd women counted It nu honor to be entertained by him. It Is safe to say there was hardly a young woman In Palm Beach last winter who would Bot havo considered it a feather In her cap to bo seen In company with Joe Elwcll. "My impression of Elwcll Is that he was much more sought after than seek ing, especially by women. He was of "the cold-blooded type. Once I witnessed an incident which may bring this out. I was at his home when n socially prom inent woman called. Sho threw her arms about Elwell's neck and told him she loved him. He did not seem in the least interested. "Elwell was not n man who seemed to select any special girl. He was n man who exercised a remarkable influence over women. He was cold-blooded to nn extreme, which instead of repelling his friends of the opposite sex, seemed to nttract them the more. There was never the breath of scandal In connection with his residence nt Palm Beach. But there's no doubt thnt he was 'i ladies' man' in every sense of the expression. "In a way he was a poseur. He was not a gambler, but rather a good sport. He would bet on auvthlnc. His every obligation was met scrupulously on the day the money was due. There was no cheap intrigue about him. "If n man killed Elwcll It was be cause Elwell had trespassed on that man's preserves; if the deed was done by a woman, it was over some real or fancied wrong."

Mr. and Mrs. Cama arc enthusias tic In their impression of the United Stntcs and American customs which they have gained during several months trrvcl through the West, including n visit of several weeks in California and a similar period In New York. "We left Bombay last March," said Mr. Cama, "nnd traveled by way of the Philippines, where we first encoun tered signs of your delightful Amerlcnn customs. From there wo went to China and traveled extensively in Mnnchurla nnd Korea. We next visited Japan nnd, returning by the Philippines, sailed for America stopping nt Hawaii, where we enmo in contact with more Americans and their pleasant democracy and so ciability. ,"In San Francisco we soon were made nt home by the hospitable Call fornlans, who interested us In our pol itics, nnd, before wo knew it, we were rooting, I believe you call it, for Hiram Johnson for President. "When we heard theothcr day that Mr. Harding had been nominated for President, both Mrs. Cama and myself thought thero must have been some great mistake nftcr our Callfornian experience." Mrs. Cama, who is a pleasant little woman witn n constant smile, nnd who uses quaint but perfect English, spoke up nt this point nnd said : Oh, I can understand now whv everybody is satisfied, because nlmos't nu Americans are naturally Itcpubli cans, or at least almost all I have met." Mrs. Cama is petite, and on the njreci sue wears American attire, which sric donned for the first time in New lprk. "so as not to attract so much at tention," she said. "Oh. jes: I just love pretty Ameri can clothes." she went on, "and I adore tho American women, they aro so chic and smart in appearance always." Sho left the room at an indulgent smile and nod from her husband and returned quickly in a complete change ot raiment, wearing her native nttire.

The country is growing in progres siveness nnd fast losing its ancient Mipcmitioim against everything mod ern.

Pro perly treated, these bulbs will regain their life and strength and the hair will a grow thickly and luxuriantly. In England, where RADIOR HAIR TONIC has for years been featured in the leading shops, men and women have found its peculiar qualities to be particularly helpful in restoring and vitalizing the hair-growing substance.?. This is accomplished by the addition of radio-active properties to vegetable oils of known value. It goes straight to the roots and provides the stimulation that is as necessary for them as for the other organs of the body.
