H Do Not Think He Hs?
Anything to Do With the

Trainer Tells How Slain
??'Man Attracted Women;
'liquor Warrants Voided
"The facts seem to shift from one
place to another, from day to day. We
have been following them as they
shifted." .
Thin,'statement from District Attor?
ney Swann served yesterday as an in?
troduction to the announcement that
he had been mistaken in his statement
of tho day before concerning the loca?
tion of the automobile belonging to
Williaja. H. Pendleton on the morning
?lhat- Jtwcph Bowne Elwell was mur?
dered under mysterious circumstances.
Psndleton was a racing associate of
Elwell.
Yesterday's statement was made at
tho conclusion of the twenty-seventh
day of the investigation into Eiwei?
death, following corroborative evidence
cf Pendleton's story, given by a num?
ber of witnesses.
"Personally," concluded the District
Attorney, ''I do not think Pendleton
had anything to do with the shooting.
I.do not think he had, and I do not
think any one else thinks he had.-'
Exonerates No One
Despite this, however, the District
Attorney went on:
"We are not giving any one a clean
bill of health. We are not making any
chargea. It is very puzzling why, a ga?
rage man should be so positive with
his records, and that they should bo
contradicted. I am not accusing sny
one and I am not exonerating any one."
He then showed the newspaper men
the duplicate copy of a bill rendered
to Pendleton by Henry Hensler, who
runs the taxi. service at Cedarhurst,
the home of Pendleton. This bill
show? the following item:
June 11, one fare. 1<V:26 train.35 cents
Martha to work at 8 o'clock.3 6 cents
Martha from work.36 cents
During the clay Assistant District
Attorneys Dooling and Joyce ques?
tioned Mrs. Pendleton and Mrs. Oliver
W. Bipei in the offices of their respec?
tive- attorneys. Both corroborated the
previous statements of Pendleton.
George B. Post jr., of 39 East Sixty
third Street, who was mentioned in
the District Attorney's statement of
Wednesday as having ridden in Pendle?
ton's car, appeared at the District At?
torney's office. Following his examina?
tion, J5J?. Swann issued the following
statement:
"Mr. Post said: "I remember dis?
tinctly the night, or early morning,
that I was taken into Mr. Pendleton's
car. I recall that I played bridge at
the Knickerbocker Club earlier in the
evening.
"I have referred to my account with
the Knickerbocker Club and I find that
I was *at the Knickerbocker Club on
Monday and Tuesday, June- 7 and 8.
My account at the club shows that I
was not at the club' on the night of
June 10 or the morning of June 11.
For thig reason I feel positive that the
date of my riding to the club in Mr.
Pendleton's car was the early morning
of June 8, 1920. I was never in the
car except that one time."
Garage Man Mistaken
Appended to this was the following
statement by the District Attorney:
"The, above statement of Mr. Post, veri?
fied by the records of the Knicker?
bocker Club, corresponds with Mr. Pen?
dleton's statement regarding the occa?
sion when Mr. Post was taken in his
car and shows that John Doyle, of the
Atlas Garaga.e was mistaken as to the
date upon which he drove Mr. Post in
Mr. Pendelton's car."
An*?ther witness who was , reexam?
inad yesterday was Mrs. Marie Larsen,
tSe* housekeeper, who discovered El
well's unconscious form a few minutes
after the bullet that caused his death
had been fired. She repeated her pre?
vious testimony and added she had
told all she knew. She was accompa?
nied by her attorney, Victor Gartz.
Several bank officials appeared at
the -District Attorney's office yester?
day with transcripts from Elwell's ac?
counts. These covered a period oi
several months and had been request?
ed by the District Attorney in an ef?
fort to ascertain whether there was
any truth in the report that Elwel!
had- ?been paying money to certain
wo tiren.
Frederic Ingraham, the lawyer whe
drew up the second will of Elwell in
1916, which was never executed, alsc
appeared before the District Attorney
An interesting sidelight on the manne*
ir? which Elwell exerted a fascinat?
ing Influence over women was recited
by'Assistant District Attorney Tailey
yesterday. Talley said it had been re?
tailed to him by Elwell's trainer. Ac?
cording to the story, the trainer said
that Elwell had frequently given him
tips on how to handle women. When?
ever Elwell particularly liked a certain
woman he would remain aloof from her
At the same time, however, he would
tell other women who were acquaint?
ances of hers how much he liked the
woman. This, said the trainer, in?
variably resulted in the young woman
seeking out Elwell.
Dry Activity Subsides
The .sudden activity in the Federa'
prohibition enforcement headquarter?
over the Elwell case subsided consider?
ably yesterday. After repeated an
nouneements that two arrests would b?
made, the complaints that had beer
sworn out were withdrawn. This actior
automatically canceled the warrant o:
arrest which had been issued.
Despite this, however, August Hasen
?flug, attorney for the enforcemen'
?gent, said last night that "arrest:
would be made when the opportun?
moment arrived. They are looking foi
a man known as Tony, who is said t<
have knowledge of facts that will cleai
up the bootlegging angle of the case.

Lawyer Denies Mrs. Curry
Wants to Deport Stowaway
, / . ?-1?.
"Some One Hastily Jumped at Wrong Conclusion,"
lie Says, While Immigration Authorities In
sist She Seeks to Get Rid of Mike Gilhooley
David S. Godwin, attorney for Mrs. i
Marion C. Curry, who adopted Mike
Gilhooley, the young stowaway from
Belgium, on his fifth attempt to enter
this country, denied yesterday that his
client had any idea of relinquishing her
charge.
Reports, Mr. Godwin said, that Mrs.
Curry had called up the immigration
authorities at Ellis Island, and asked
if Gilhooley could be deported, were
erroneous.
Immigration officials yesterday con?
tinued to insist, however, that Mrs.
Curry or her representative had
done so.
According to Mr. Godwin, Mrs. Curry
intends to take young Gilhooley abroad
in the fall to visit his native land.
She deposited $500 with the Immigra?
tion Department when she took the
lad as earnest of her intention to pro?
vide for him in America for a year.
The lawyer said that he himself tele?
phoned to Ellis Island on Wednesday
and asked if this trip abroad could
be arranged.
Jumped at Conclusion
"It is probable," he said, "that some
one hastily jumped .at the wrong con?
clusion that Mrs. Curry wanted to get
the boy out of the country and out of
her hands as well. The latter part of
the surmise was altogether incorrect.
Mrs. Curry wants very much to con?
tinue having the boy in her care and
?to give, him the best bringing up pos?
sible."
Byron H. Uhl-, Assistant Commis?
sioner of Immigration, when Mr. God
win's statement was brought to his at?
tention, said i
. "There could not have been any mis?
understanding about this matter. The
person who called Ellis Island on the
telephone not only asked if the im?
migration authorities would tako Gil
hooly for deportation to Belgium, but,
furthermore, requested that we take
him that very day." ,
A. H. Sherman, chief clerk to the
Commissioner of Immigration for many
years, who received the telephone call
in question, said:
"It was not a lawyer that called at
all, but Mrs. Curry herself. She said
she would like to get the immigration
officials to deport Michael Gilhooly,
but that she wanted no publicity in
the matter.
"She was told that the immigration
authorities would have to decline to
have anything to . do with Gilhooly's?
deportation while he was under bond
and in her custody and that if.there
was to be any deporting it must be
done solely by her, but under the sur?
veillance of the immigration inspect?
ors.
Boy Reformed, Is Report
"She then asked for details, how to
get a picture for the passport, and
such other routine as would facilitate
her arrangements for sending Gil?
hooly out of the country."
Mike, when Mrs. Curry adopted him,
was generally agreed to be more or
less of a i'bad egg." He was said by
ship's officers with whom he .had rid?
den as a stowaway to be a crap shoot?
er with few equals. Since his adop?
tion he is said to have reformed.
Banker J. R. Blake,
Strangely Missing,
Believed Drowned
Financier, Absent^ Since Fri?
day, Was Last Seen in
Boat at Clason Point
Shipyards, Wife Learns
A search is being made by the police
and the Pinkertons for James Robert
Blake, banker and member of the
firm of Abbot, Hoppin & Co., 120
Broadway, who disappeared last Fri?
day and is believed to have been
drowned.
The mysterious disappearance of the
banker became known yesterday, when
his wife, who lives at the Madison
Square Hotel, asked the police to help
in the search. He was last seen by
his business associates last Friday,
when he left his office for the Dawn
Boat and Shipbuilding Yards, at Clason
Point, the Bronx. He had intended to
go there and supervise the installa?
tion of an engine in a boat he pur?
chased recently.
At the ship yard it was said he had
been there and tried to employ mechan?
ics to install the engine. All of them
were busy and he said lie would row
to some other ship yard. The last
seen of him was as he departed in the
boat at about 7 p. m.
Mr. Blake had promised to join his
wife at Fisher's Island, off New Lon?
don, Conn., over the Fourth. When he
failed to appear, she attributed his ab
sence to pressure of business and die
not suspect that anything was wrong
She became apprehensive on Tuesdaj
and came to this city, where she com?
municated with Mr. Abbot, her brother
who is head of Mr. Blake's firm. Or
learning that her husband had no'
been at his office since Friday sh<
traced his movements to the ship
building yard where all track of hin
was lost.
The missing man is forty-nine yean
old and a graduate of Princeton Uni
versity, class of 1894. His only child
Judson, has just finished his freshmai
year at the same university.
Mr. Blake is five feet, nine inche
in height and weighs about 170 pounds
When last seen here he was wearinj
a gray business suit. Workmen abou
the Dawn Boat and Shipbuilding Yard
told the police yesterday that when h
rowed away he wore a pair of corduro;
trousers.
No Detour Is Necessary
From Norwalk to N. Y.
Another Fortnight Should See
Connecticut Roads in
Better Shape
Motorists Light Lamps To-day,
9:03 p. m.
Saturday, July 10, 9:03
Sunday, July 11, 9:03
The Connecticut State Highway De?
partment reports that no detour be?
tween Norwalk and the New York State
Line on the Boston Post Road is neces?
sary, which is information of interest
to motorists driving through to New
England points. Thf Hartford-New
London road is under construction, but
there is no detour. For the rest, con?
ditions in Connecticut have not
changed vastly in the last few weeks.
Construction work is under way in
many places. Another fortnight should
see motoring conditions considerably
improved.
There probably will be considerable
interest in the roads reaching to Ohio
points this summer, because both Presi?
dential candidates come from that
state, and there will be many pilgrim?
ages of the faithful to Marion and to
Dayton or Columbus.
It is suggested that a desirable traf?
fic ordinance in this city would be one
to prevent parking of cars anywhere
near a safety zone. This would avoid
having traffic jammed into "the neck
of the bottle," as so often occurs now.
Too many motorists leave their cars
standing in such a way that the traffic
necessarily gets tangled. In other
cities the police are very particular
about things like these.
The wing type wind shields, of which
so many are seen now all over the
country, do an effective job in keeping
the breeze away from the occupants of
the rear seat and also do a great deal
to make front seat riding more com?
fortable. In order to add to the trim
appearance of the car makers long ago
began narrowing the regulation wind?
shield. They have it so narrow now
that something like the plate glass
wings has become very much needed.
Newspapermen Meet To-morrow
The Newspapermen's Benevolent
League will hold a meeting, which all
New York newspapermen are invited
to-morrow afternoon at the Press Club.
Speakers will, include Ed Wynn, Jack
Hazzard, Augustus Thomas, Channing
Pollock and Borough President Henry
H. Curran.
Bedtime Stories
Peter Receives a Fright and a Visitor
By Thornton W. Burgess
To wake in fright to find a friend?
Ah, would all troubles thus might end!
?.Peter Rabbit.
Peter Rabbit found a?very comfort?
able bed in Jerry Muskrat's bedroom
and in no time he was fast asleep and
dreaming. How long he had slept
\vhr>n he was awakened by a noise out?
side in the hall he didn't know. As
usual his eyes flew wide open and he
was quite as wide awake as if he
hadn't been asleep at all. That is the
way with the little people of the Green
Meadows ana the Green Forest.
Peter didn't know what had wak?
ened him. He listened with all his
might. At first he heard nothing. He
listened and listened. At last he heard
a faint shuffling sound. It was down
th? long hall that led to that bedroom.
Poter held bis breath. That shuffling
sound came nearer and nearer. There
was some one out in that long hall
corning toward that bedroom. There
was no doubt about it.
What should he do? Peter didn't
know. He might dart out that little
side hall and out of the hole by which
he had entered. But if he did that
it might be to find Old Man Coyote
waiting for him. If? Old Man Coyote
should get hold of him that would be
the end of him. There would be no
WS.?/ of getting away from him?
Whoever it was in that long, dark
hall, he must te smaller, much
smaller, than Old Man Coyote. Peter
decided to wait. Perhaps he wouldn't
come clear to that bedroom. So Peter
waited, but it was with a dreadful fear
clutching at his he#rt. He was trapped.
That was all there was to it, he was
trapped.
Nearer and nearer came ?be shuffling
sound. Then there was a faint squeak
and then another. Peter's heart gave
a bound. That was the voice of Jerry
MuskratI Jerry was talking to him
??1/
"Jerry! Is that you, Jerry?" said
Peter in rather a faint .sounding voica.
The shuffling stopped. / "Who is
that?" demanded Jerry Muskrat sharp?
ly, and his voice squeaked more than
ever.
"It is only n|e, Peter Rabbit," replied
Peter meekly.
"What are you doing in my house?"
demanded Jerry as he poked his head
in the bedroom.
"Hiding from Old Man Coyote," re?
plied Peter. "I hope you don't mind,
Jerry. It was the only place I could
find to escape from him and?and I
didn't know it was your house. Truly
I didn't," be added timidly.
Jerry began to laugh. It was a
"It's only me, Peter Rabbit," re?
plied Peter meekly
fur.ny, squeaky little laugh. "It is
quite all right, Peter." said he. "I'm
glad you found the entrance. I meant
to cover it with sticks before this so
as to hide it, but somehow I didn't get
around to it. , I'm glad I didn't. I was
wondering what had become of you.
Did you hear my danger signal? I saw
Old Man Coyote on the shore and made
a big splash in the Smiling Pool *.o
warn you of danger."
"I heard it," replied Peter. "Of
course I didn't know what the danger
was or just where it was. I sat still
as long as I could. Then I started to
steal away up the bank of the Laugh?
ing Brook and walked almost into that
old sinner's mouth. At the same in?
stant I saw your hole and dived into
it. It was one of the narrowest es?
capes I have ever had. If that hole
hadn't been right where it is I would
be right inside of Old Man Coyote this
very minute instead of here in your
louse. I suspect he is waiting around
outside now and I don't know how I
?shall ever get out of here without
being caught. I guess he has me
trapped this time. But I can tell you
one thing, and that is that he will
wait a good long time for that dinner.
I hope you will let me stay, Jerry,"

Decision Balks
Landlord Raid
On NewTenants
Brooklyn Municipal Court
Justice Rules 25% In?
crease Is All Allowed;
Ousting Plan Is Halted
Jersey Renters Lose
? i
Supreme Court Voids Three
Ordinances Passed to
Prevent Profiteering
Landlords who may be planning to
dispossess tenants by October 1 in the
hope of forcing new ones to pay ex?
orbitant increases in rent will be
balked by a decision of Justice Jacob
S. Strahl, of the Fourth Municipal
Court, Brooklyn. He held yesterday
that increases of more than 25 per cent
of what was paid for the same place a
year before is presumptive evidence of
profiteering, whether or not the in?
crease is demanded of a new tenant or
of an old one. ,
Even should the new tenant pay such
an increase once, that, according to
Justice Strahl's decision, does not de?
prive him of the protection of the law
to prevent other such payments.
The decision is expected to have a
widespread effect on the annual fall
moving problem, in that it was the un?
disguised plan of many unscrupulous
tenement house owners, including
those of many of the city's finest apart?
ment houses, to get their old tenants
out of their property in the belief that
from new tenants they could demand
rents from which the old tenants are
protected by the new laws. Justice
Strahl's decision puts an entirely dif?
ferent complexion on such plans, as
now, it is said, many tenants will be
permitted to remain where they are,
since their landlords know that they
can gain nothing by forcing them out.
Justice Strahl's decision was in
favor of Frank F. Eichauer, a tenant
of an apartment of 765 Park Place,
Brooklyn, owned by the F. A. L. Realty
Corporation, which demanded that
Eichauer pay $55 a month for an unim?
proved apartment under lease. After
paying the amount specified once, Eich?
auer refused to pay more than $36.25,
which was a 25 per cent increase over
what a former tenant paid in the cor?
responding month of the preceding
year. The realty company instituted
proceedings in which Eichauer was
sustained.
Tenants of Jersey City are back
where they started in their fight
against greedy landlords, as a result
of the decision handed down at Tren?
ton yesterday by the Supreme Court
of the state. Justice Swayze rendered
the verdict which sets aside three or?
dinances directed against rent profit?
eering.
The court held that it was illegal
to devote public funds to the defense
of rent payers, and that it is preju?
dicial to property owners to compel
landlords to file notice of proposed
evictions and rent advances. ^
The decision voids the recent efforts
of Jersey City to save its people from
excessive rentals. The ordinances
were passed after the city had taken
a hand in a definite attempt to ease
the burden of rapidly rising rents,
and the passage of the ordinances was
regarded as meaning complete victory
for the tenants.
The first of the ordinances provided
for the assignments of city funds., to
defend litigants in actions against
landlords in cases where, it was
charged, the rent was exorbitant. This
was overthrown on the 'grounds that i
there is no authority in city govern- !
ment to assess property for funds to
maintain legal actions against that
property.
Provision for the manner in which
the funds were to be appropriated for ]
the defense of the rent payers was j
made in the second ordinance, and this I
was ruled out because it was held that I
municipalities cannot "give money or ]
property or loans to individuals, asso- |
ciations or corporations or become, di?
rectly or indirectly, owner of any
stocks of any corporation." This in?
cludes the advancement of money by
the city to the defense of litigants in
private suits.
The third ordinance, requiring land?
lords to file notice of orders to va?
cate or of rent advances, was held to
be unreasonable by the court. It was i
declared that this regulation placed |
an additional burden upon the owners
of rental property and that it was in?
tended as a threat of proceedings
against landlord?*^

silks since A. T. Stewart built this Store in 1862; but never in all
these years was there a finer exhibition or sale of silks than this.
The Silk Rotunda, west from the Grand Stairway down to the

Voile Frocks at $15.75
Flowered or figured voile
frocks in foulard patterns have
been especially purchased to
sell at this moderate price. The
harem skirt and tabs of rib?
bon at round collar, cuffs and
girdle of model are particularly
charming. The other model has
rows of dainty ruffles on the
side, to give the slightly dis?
tended silhouette affected this
season. A wide range of colors
has been chosen.
Georgette Frocks at $35
Our $59.50 grade
Georgette Crepe ? unusual
indeed, at this lower price, in
navy blue, flesh and white. One
model has drop skirt, uniquely
banded with gros grain ribbon,
which also appears on the waist,
or in a model which features a
drop skirt enhanced with wee
ruffles and pin-tucks, which are
repeated on the blouse.
Silk Skirts at $14.95
Originally $29.75 to $35.
The silk skirt fills so many
needs during the summer that it
is well-nigh indispensable. In
the very brilliant shades of
novelty weaves that ha%e been
developed to so fine a point
they are particularly beautiful.
Baronette satin in novel
weaves, checks and 6tripes;
wash silks and satin, and trico
lettes are a few fancy silks
used.
Waist measures, 24 in. to 30
in.
Lengths, 34 in. to 38 in.
