"I-uly of Lingerie" Identified
Detectives investigating the murder to
day were particularly interested In reve
lations expected from Mrs. Mntie Lar
sen, Mr. Elwcll's housekeeper, and the
owner of the pink silk lingerie found'
in the Elwell house, who were to face
each other and answer questions re
garding the hiding of these articles tho
morning Mr. Elwell was killed.
Mrs. Larson already has revealed the
Identity of the woman who is said to
be the owner of the lingerie, nnd who
is reported to have rushed into Mr. El
well's home the morning of the murder
in nn effort to obtain her belongings.
Her name hns not been made public.
Efforts will also be made today to
ascertain definitely whether Mr. Elwell
went to bed tnc morning he was shot
or whether his housekeeper hurriedly
made up the bed after alio found him in
a dying condition. Throughout the in
vestigation it has been assumed that
Mr. Elwell had not gone to bed, but iu
view of certain retractions and correc
tions made in the testimony of Mrs.
Larson she will be questioned definitely
on this point.
Believe Evidence Concealed
Mrs. Larson has confessed to the
district attorney the attempted to shield
"a young woman." whoso nnmc she
disclosed, by taking n pink silk night
robe,, boudoir cap and slippers from the
bedroom of Elwell nnd hiding them In
a wnshtub in the cellar. She revealed
the nnme after insisting for a long time
thnt. she did not know it.
Mrs. Larson admitted that the woman
had gone to the Elwell house shortly
after the whist expert was discovered
living from the bullet wound in his head.
Mrs. Lnrsen said this woman had vis
ited Elwell several times before.
District Attorney Swnnn anuounccd
his belief the young woman was bent
upon getting possession of the gnrments
and other evidence of female occupancy
of the sportsman's npartmonts. He
stntcd. however, that he had ho reason
to believe she was more Intimntely con
nected with the shooting.
Mrs. Larson, also admitted to the
district attorney that she "fixed up"
Elwcll's bedroom while the police
were getting the dying gambler to
the hospital. It had previously been
believed by the authorities that the
bed had not been occupied that morn
ing In the hours preceding the dawrf.
Tlierc is plenty of evidence thnt the
women in the case will be protected
from publicity in so far as the district
attorney's office is able to protect them.
This is for the reason that they are not
implicated in the murder so far as the
district attorney has been able to de
termine, and Mr. Swnnn feels they
should be shielded as much ns possible.
This killing pierced the center of
New lork s fast life and before the case
is over ii large number of women nnd
men nre bound to come iuto it ns sido
issues. It is not likely that any of them
knew who killed Elwell, but they are
bound to be dragged in. The district
attorney feels thnt should he permit half
a dozen scandals to be unnecessarily
spread upon the public records he would
be remiss in ills duty and open to just
criticism. That is why names anrt
facta which 'have nothing to do with
the nctual shooting nre so carefully
guarded.
Ievlngton. Ky.. June 18. Anne
Russell Griffy.. daughter of Porter
Griffy, of Versailles, Ky.. prominent
socially throughout the blue grass re
gion, and whom local police believe is
the "Anna" mentioned by New York
authorities in their nnnouncement Tues
day night that detectives were coining
here in connection with the murder of
Joseph B. Elwell. made public yester
day a statement explaining her rcla-
t ons with Elwell
Miss Griffy said she first met Elwell
at a social function during the Lexing
ton race meeting and that she snw him
four times after that at entertainments.
Elwell sent her flowers while she was in
a hospital for nn operation, the statcv
ment said, nnd she wrote n formal note
of thunks to Elwell in New York.
It was the note of thanks from Mis?
C,riffv that brought nbout activities
by New York authorities, police here
believe.

Contest Will Measure Strength
Between Alliance Leader and
John R. K. Scott
MANY BALLOTS DOUBTFUL
The Republican Alliance hopes to
upset the primary results in the Eighth
Legislative district through a recouut
begun today by the county commission
ers in obedience to a court order.
The contest to some extent is a meas
uring of sttength between Thomas W.
Cunningham, president of the Republi
can Alliance, nnd John R. K. Scott,
Vnre leader of the Thirteenth and Four
teenth ward.
These two wards, with the Tenth, led
by Cunningham, make up the Eighth

Carthy, a former common councilman,
apparently won nt the primary with
4-128 votes, as did Jefferson W. Smith,
with 4378 votes. Botli nre Vnre men.
The Alliance candidates for the leg
islature iu that district were Theodore
B. Clay, with 42S4 votes on the un
official count, and William II. Rogers,
with 4355 votes.
County Commissioners Holmes nnd
Kuenzcl began the recount in that dis
trict in the finnuce committee room this
morning. They stoned with seventeen
divisions encli in the Tenth nnd Thir
teenth wards.

INQUEST IS ON TODAY
Unless tho War Department decides
that tho country is again on n peace
footing, Sergeant Roger Gay wilt never

will be purely a civil matter, with no
meaning so far ns Sergeant Gay is con
cerned, unless Secretary Baker agrees

Bankers' Association
GOVERNOR SPR0UL 'SPEAKS '
.
Bedford Springs, Pa June 18.Th
Reserve Bank system today was char '
acterlzcd ns "'the cheapest bankers' in.
suranco fever Written' by, George V
Norris, governor of the Federal Reserve'
Bank of Philadelphia, in nn address
before tho nnuunl convention of the i
Pennsylvania Bankers' Association
Others who sppko wero Governor Hproul'
Charles M. Schwab' and Hcprcscntatlva
Louis T. McFaddcn.
"It is unfortunate that some. bankers
have a fundamental misconception re.
gardlng jt Reserve Bank," said Sir
Norris. "These men seem to regard a
Rescrvo Bank ns an addition to their "'
loaning resources, who think that their
$100,000 reserve deposit in the Reserve
Bank gives them $300,000 or $400,000
more to loan. '
"It is small wonder, then, that the
average American banker thinks he
ought to get more for the money thnt
he borrows from the Federal Reserve
Bank than lie pays for it.
"As n result we have the nnomalous
situation of Federal Reserve redis
count ratcB fixing instead of reflecting
the rates upon commercial paper; of
borrowers protesting against advance
in rediscount rntcs on the ground
that they will be compelled to pay
higher rates to their bank; of bank's
protesting against them on the ground
that they will be subjected to loss, ami
of the Federal Reserve banks hesi
tating to make such ndvances because
of the higher rntcs that will thereby
he imposed upon commercial borrower!
engaged in legitimate trade.
"All this is putting the cart before
the horse. Advances in rediscount
rates nre intended to affect volume, not
rate. A commercial bank advances Its
rates cither to discourage borrowing,
or to make n larger profit, or both.
The matter of profit docs not enter at
nil into the calculations of a Reserve
bank. When it advances its rates, it
is solely and exclusively for the pur
pose of discouraging borrowing, by its
member banks.
"Manifestly, this cannot be nccom
pllshcd as long as the member bank Is
able to advance Its rate correspond
ingly. Tt is only when the reserve bank
link advanced to n point to which the
member bnnk ennnot follow thnt the
advance becomes effective, nnd accom
plishes tlie one purpose which it is in
tended to accomplish.
"I believe thnt sooner or Inter there
will have to be gencrnl recognition of
this elementary principle, but I am
free to admit thnt I am not anxious to
be a pioneer in nn unpopular move
ment. The Federal Reserve Bank of
Philadelphia, notwithstanding the fact
thnt It was, for a year nnd n half, com
pelled to lean upon the other reserve
banks, nnd thnt Its reserves urc today
barely nbove'thc legal limit, has kept
lis rediscount rate lower than the aver
age, and as low as the lowest.
"As the matter now Btands, it is up
to tht- member banks to say whether
this policy enn be continued. Manifest
ly, we cannot borrow money to loan to
our members nt 0 per cent from other
reserve banks which have that money to
loan only because they have discouraged
their member banks from borrowing by
charging them 7 per cent.
"Wo cannot contrpl the flow of gold
nr the Interdlstrlct movement of money.
The only thing we can control Is the
volume of our lonns, mid we can con
trol thnt only by either ndvanccs in
rntcs or by such a frank presentation of
the facts as I have endeavored to make,
which moy lead our member banks to
co-operate with us by curtailing loans to
their customers, which will, In turn,
enable them to reduce their demand?
upon them."
