Letters Found
In Elwell Home
Involve Ionian
Girl Who Wedded ex-Army
Man Shortly After Receiv?
ing Check From Turfman
Was Addressee of Notes
Police Case Is Stronger
Slayer May Have Been Same
Person Who Assaulted the
Whist Wizard on Street
Out of the mystery surrounding the
murder of Joseph Bowne -Elwell there,
is gradually emerging a new set of cir?
cumstances that many lead to the
eventual solution of the crime.
On the heels of the discovery that
Eiwell had been involved in an alter?
cation outside the theater he attended
six hours before the murder, it was
said yesterday that the police had
some time ago found a packet of let?
ters of an incriminating nature ad?
dressed to a woman ^ whose name has
been mentioned in the > case.
These letters were in-the possession
of Elwell at the time he'was murdered.
They were addrssed to a young woman
to whom Elwell had given a substantial
check, which also has been traced.
Shortly after she had cashed this check
the young woman was married to a
? college man who had just returned
i from distinguished service in France
. with the A. E. F.
Motive for Murder Seen
These two circumstances, coupled
with the reported altercation outside
the theater, has led the police to make
a thorough investigation into the pos?
sibilities offered by them. They point
out the importance of the position of
Elwell, with the letters in his posses?
sion, to threaten the good name of the
young woman as well as her domestic
happiness. This, they believe, would
be sufficient motive to impel the young
husband to visit the home pf Elwell
as soon as he heard of the existence of
the letters.
The possibilities of the situation
we e voiced by a detective working on
the case yesterday in the following
mnnaer: "Suppose that this former
soldier after his marriage learned of
his wife's former relations with El
weU. Suppose she admitted Elwell
ha* given her a check which must
have been returned to him from the
bank with her maiden name indorsed
en the back.
"Suppose that she had told him she
had inadvertently left in Elwell's
house on one of her former visits a
nvi?-ber of letters. What would be
the natural impulses of the husband?
One simple impulse might be to kill
the man. Another, less rash, might be
to go to Elwell's house with a grim de?
termination to get the damaging evi?
dence-?and that impulse might lead
to the killing if Elwell's attitude was
defiant."
. It was said yesterday that both
husband and his young wife were at
present beyond the reach of the Dis?
trict Attorney's subpoena.
Police Busy Investigating
The police are of the opinion that
the husband may be the man who was
taken from the "Midnight Frolic" by
the taxi-driver Walters immediately
after Elwell left the theater. They are
busily engaged in investigating the
possibility.
At the District Attorney's office, Mr.
Swann said last night that there was
not a single new development in the
investigation. His assistants refused
to confirm or deny this, preferring to
remain silent.
H. Hobart Porter, the wealthy
president of the American Water?
works Company, appeared,before Fed?
eral Judge Harlan B. Howe yesterday
and pleaded guilty to having liquor in
his possession unlawfully. The
pleading grows out of a side investi
fation connected with, the murder of
lwell and is connected with alleged
bootlegging operations of the turf?
man shortly before he was murdered.
Porter was fined $250, which was
paid in court. The Federal authorities
are still investigating this phase of
the case.
i Alone Know Slayer
of Elwell, Man Says
Special Dispatch to The Tribune
DETROIT, July 13.?An unidentified
? man telephoned to Assistant United
States Attorney Polozker here to-day
and announced that he knew who killed
Joseph B. Elwell.
"I desire," the voice said over the
phone with a distinctly foreign accent,
"that the government discontinue the
persecution of my New York friends,
whom some persons suspect of the mur?
der of tricky Jimy Elwell. I alone
know how Elwell died. I'll give myself
up when I'm good and ready, and that
will be only when I have evidence
enough to show that the murder was
fully justified."
Polozker prolonged the conversation
for nearly fifteen minutes while tele?
phone operators attempted to trace the
call. The voice told him that its owner
had at one time been in love with a
woman with whom Elwell was familiar.

Gouled Offers $25,000
Bail for Warsaw Trip
Felix Gouled, out on bail pending
appeal on his sentence to seven years'
| imprisonment for defrauding the gov?
ernment on raincoat contracts, yester?
day, through counsel brought up in the
j, Federal Court the question of whether
ho should be allowed to proceed to
Warsaw on filing of $25,000 extra bond.
The purpose of this proposed trip, it
?was explained, is to close certain deals
concerning raw cotton between Ameri?
can manufacturers and the Polish gov?
ernment. After hearing argument
Judge Harland B. Howe said he would
like to hear from members of the
Polish commission here before making
any decision in the matter. He was in?
formed that the commission had no
knowledge of the fact that Gouled had
been convicted when he was asked to
handle the deal.
"I thought it singular,'* Jodge Howe
?ai?i, turning to Gouled, "that th?
Polish government should need the
avrvices of a man who swindled this
government out of ??0j)00. I ?cannot
believe that when the member? of the
Polish commission learn yon are under
a seven-year sentence they will want
you. It is not the publicity regarding
'? hi* matter, but the truth that will de?
stroy your usefulness. Your convic?
tion will follow you wherever you go."

Priest Conquers 3 Thugs;
Uses Fists Against Guns
Pastor Manhandles Invaders of Rectory and Leads
Street Chase That Results in the Capture of
Two; Third Prisoner Is Taken by Chance
The Rev. Father Nicholas Ridhose?
sky, pastor of the Ukrainian Greek
Catholic Church of St. George, at 22
East Seventh Street, demonstrated yes?
terday afternoon that he is as mighty
in body as he is in prayer. Three men
were convinced by this demonstration,
all of whom were? locked up in Police
Headquarters last night, charged with
grand larceny.
On each of the trio the reverend
father left his murk. He insists they
were Bolsheviki, against whom he has
launched maledictions from the pulpit
ever since the world first heard of
L?nine and Trotzky. The prisoners
deny this hotly, however, and won't
even admit they are robbers.
At any rate, it was wrath against
the soviets that steeled the arm of
Father Ridhosesky yesterday after?
noon, when the three set upon him with
guns and knives in the parlor of his
rectory, adjoining the church. Four
men came in and asked to see him, say?
ing one of their number wanted to' be
married. .
Priest Faces Three Guns
The priest talked with the alleged
prospective bridegroom, who then of?
fered him a $100 bill, saying he would
like to make things certain by paying
the fee ahead of time.
As Father Ridhosesky opened the
door of the little safe that stands in
one corner of the room, one of the
men stole into the hall, apparently as
a lookout. The priest straightened up
to look into three ugiy guns and three
scarcely more prepossessing faces.
"Up with your hands," one of the
trio ordered.
Now, St. George was no slouch as a
fighter and the Rev. Father Ridhosesky
is his priest.
He came up with his hands, the right
under the jaw Of the nearest robber,
the left into the stomach of another,
sending them both reeling against the
third.
Before they could recover their bal?
ance, Father Ridhosesky was upon
them. The priest is six feet tall, with
a chest like a barrel and arms that
might have swung the sword of St.
George himself.
Assailants Cry for Mercy
He smote the alleged Bolsheviki
even more violently than did the Poles
before their recent reversal of form.
Words never before heard in the quiet
of the -rectory resounded through the
room, mingled with bumps and thumps
innumerable, as the men tried to pull
the priest down an*d were taught over
and over ..again that they couldn't.
Several time% Father Ridhosesky had
two of his assailants crying for mercy,
but he did experience some difficulty in
getting all three of them to surrender
at once. His cassock was torn and he
was suffering considerably, but no?
where near as much as the men who
? had the idea that they could whip a
priest of St. George in his own rectory.
At length one of the three broke
free from the struggle, staggered back
against the wall and drew an auto?
matic pistol. Ho fired, after taking
careful aim.
Now it may be that his arm was
shaking from overexertion, or it may
be, as Father Ridhosesky says, that
George, Slayer of Dragons, reached out
his hand.
There was a wild howl following the
crack of the gun. The robber had shot
one of his accomplices in the shoulder.
Thereby he gave the reverend father
just the handicap he wanted.
Two Captured in Chase
Persons passing tho rectory a min?
ute or so later stopped to stare. Tho
door Durst open and a strange proces?
sion proceoded down the steps with no
semblance of order whatever, but a lot
Of speed.
Three,bruised, scratched and battered
laymen came first, casting frightened
glances over their shoulders as they
ran. Behind puffed a stalwart priest,
his cassock in ribbons, his face marked,
but with the light c?f victory and ven?
geance in his eye.
Others took up the chase of the flying
trio. One ran to Second Avenue and
then down Sixth Street, followed by a
party of pursuers. In the cellar of 217
Sixth Street Charles Brodsky captured
a man with a bullet hole in his shoul?
der, who said he was John Savitsky, of
25 South Street.
In Fifth Street another man was
taken. He said he was Anthony Wias
lok, of 218 East Twenty-eighth Street.
The two were locked up temporarily in
the Fifth Street station, where they
were identified by the priest.
When the police searched the pair
they say they found each armed. In
the lining of Wiaslok's straw hat they
discovered two small steel saws. They
charge that the man explained he in?
tended to use them to saw his way out
of jail.
Third Taken by Chance
Chance or St. George or whoever It
was that decided yesterday's tide of
battle had not yet finished. A little
later another Greek Catholic priest
came running into the Fifth Street
station and demanded that a detective
go with him at once to Avenue A,
where, ho said, he had just passed a
man who had robbed him on June 2.
at Singac, N. J.
The priest said he was the Rev. N.
S. Capit?n, of the Greek Catholic
Church at Little Falls, N. J, He also
said that the man he had just seen had
robbed him of $50 in cash, a gold watch
and chain and a gold cross. Accom?
panied by a detective, lie hastened
back to Avenue ' A, and there pointed
out for arrest Samuel Dero, of 68
Avenue A. When Dero was arrested he
was wearing a watch Father Capit?n
identified as his.
Back in the police station Father
Ridhosesky also identified Dero as
one of his recent assailants and then
returned to his rectory, bruised, stiff,
but triumphant, there to sleep the
happy sleep of those over whose
dreams the warrior saint mounts guard

Bedtime Stories
Old Man Coyote's Second Surprise
By Thornton W. Burgess
To be sure is a mistake
The smartest folks sometimes make.
?Old Man Coyote.
Old Man Coyote trotted along
through the Green Forest so upset by
his failure to catch Peter Rabbit after
waiting for him nearly all night that
he didn't keep as sharp a watch as
usual, with the result that he missed
a chance to catch Whitefoot the Wood
House, and a few minutes later went
right past Mrs. Grouse without seeing
her until, with a roar of her stout
wings, she was in the air and safe.
These things didn't Improve his tem?
per. He was hungry and disappointed
There was just one thing that con?
soled Old Man Coyote. He was sure
that no one knew or ever would know
how Peter Babbit bad fooled him by
his unexpected dive into Jerry Musk
rat's house under his very nose. Since
he was sure that Peter hadn't come
ont and that Jerry Muslrrat had been
there after Peter entered, he was cer?
tain that Jerry had put an end to
Peter. He didn't see how it could
possibly be otherwise.
By the time Old Man Coyote reached
the Green Meadows the Jolly Little
Sunbeams were kissing the flowers
awake. Old Man Coyote hurried. He
ought to have been home in the Old
Pasture before this. He didn't feel
at all comfortable ont in the open in
broad daylight. But though he was in
a hurry he went just enough out of
bis way to take him close to the dear
Old Briar-patch. Ton see, he was
hungry and the crafty old sinner
thought he might be able to surprise
little Mrs. Peter Rabbit or one of her
babies outside the dear Old .Briar
patch.
Bnt again he was disappointed. His
nose ?told him that Mrs. Peter had
been outside ?the dear Old Briar-patch
as far as a certain patch of sweet
clover some time during tho night, but
?be was nowhere to be seen and he
knew ?that she was safe at home among
the brambles. He was preparing to
hurry on, when a sudden thought
popped into his Head. He turned and
trotted to the very edge of the dear
Old Briar-patch. He peered in among
the bashes and brambles, but they
w?are too thick for him to see any one.
"Mm, PMeri Oh, Mrs. Peter!" he
called and eeetced his head to one side,
wLile he listened for an answer. But
there was no answer. He hadn't really
expected one.
"Mrs. Jeter," he called again after
,1 momea*, "I've brought you sorao sad
news. Peter will never como home
aja^jju" ?
depends. He rather expects to come
home frequently," said a voice from
the midst of a thick tangle of bram?
bles.
Old Man Coyote jumped as if he had
suddenly stepped on a sharp thorn
and on his face was the funniest look.
He knew that voice. It was Peter
Rabbit's voice. But it couldn't be.
Even if Jerry Muskrat hadn't killed
Peter he couldn't possibly be over
here in the dear Old Briar-patch. Old
Man Coyote was certain of that.
Hadn't he kept Peter a prisoner in
Jerry Muskrat's ?iouso on the bank of
the Laughing Brook all night long?"
"Wh?wh?who is speaking?" stut?
tered Old Man Coyote, and lay flat
down so as to peer under the brambles.
Then he rubbed his eyes just as he
had done when Jerry Muskrat had
appeared where he had expected to see
Peter Rabbit, for now he saw Peter
himself. That is, it was Peter or his
?'host, and Old Man Coyote didn't be
ieve in ghosts.
"I hope you had a pleasant night
over on the bank of the Laughing
Brook," said the voice and then
chuckled.
There wasn't nny doubt in Old Man j
Coyote's mind then. This was Peter
Rabbit sn.ro enough,

'Bath Barons'
Now Face Jail
As Profiteers
Aldermen, at Mayor's In?
stance, Pass Amendment
to Bath House Ordinance
to Prevent Piice Boosting
Beach Trip Stirs Hylan
Raid on Impromptu Moving
. Van Establishment at Far
Rockaway Angers Him
The Board of Aldermen adopted yes?
terday an amendment to the ordinance
relative to bathing establishments and
bathhouse keepers designed to insure
proper investigation of the sanitary
conditions of all bathhouses at the
beaches and curb the profiteering of
bathhouse proprietors. The ordinance
was introduced by Alderman Rudolph
Hannock, of the Bronx, in response to
a message from Mayor Hylan.
While it does not attempt to fix the
prices for bathhouses, the amendment
provides that all bathhouse keepers
shall post in full public view a sched?
ule of rates for lockers, rooms, suits
and other accommodations, "and that
these prices shall not be changed under
the penalty of forfeiture of licenses."
That may mean that the bathhouse
keeper cannot double his prices on
Sundays and holidays,* as is now the
custom. It is not expected that he
will attempt to maintain the higher
price every day.
Licenses to Be Issued
The ordinance as amended provides
for the issuance of licenses for an an?
nual fee of $25 to such bathing estab?
lishments as the Commissioner of
Licenses deems to have complied with
the ordinance and. the rules of the
Board of Health. The Board of Health
shall inspect all bathing establish?
ments and issue permits when its re?
quirements are met. Conviction for
violation of the ordinance is punish?
able by a fine of $200, or sixty days'
imprisonment, or both.
The Mayor's message to the board
was prompted by his visit last Sunday
to the beach at Far Rockaway, when
?m and Commissioner Grover A.
Whalen, of the Department of Plant
and Structures, witnessed a raid on an
impromptu moving van bathing house.
The Conscienceless gouging of the
public by private bathhouse proprie?
tors reached a disgraceful climax on
Sunday, July 11," said the Mayor in
his message, "when profiteering was
rampant and indecent conditions of
herding of human b?mgs prevailed in
many of the bathhouses of the seaside
resorts. A 300 per cent increase over
the normal 50-cent charge for an indi?
vidual was commonly reported and this
extortionate price was often accom?
panied, by an indecent herding of many
people into quarters intended in each
instance for a single occupant."
Sunday Crowds the Victims
The Mayor pointed out that it was
only on Sundays and holidays that the
' countless thousands of toilers" of the
city .could seek benefit and recreation
at the seashore, and it was these very
people that the "bathhouse barons"
preyed upon. He declared that "these
mulctors of the masses" could not ad?
vance a single argument within reason
to justify or palliate their extortion?
ate charges for bathing accommoda?
tions. He referred to the municipal
bathhouse at Coney Island, which, by
charging the small admission fee of 15
cents, is not only self-sustaining, but
provides a 5 cent return.
"The municipal bath is successful,
popular and may be followed by
others,," said the Mayor, "There will
certainly be more in the very near
future if private bathhouse keepers
continue their excessive' charges, and
then thejr; will learn that they have
killed the goose that laid the golden
egg.
"In view of the fact that the exist?
ing municipal bathing facilities are
taxed to the utmost and the opportuni?
ties for private bathhouse profiteering
are daily increasing, to the discomfort
of tens of thousands of people, I re?
spectfully suggest that the present
emergency requires, the immediate
adoption of an ordinance adequate to
the situation."
