LEGION TO HAVE L Recommendations Include Or- I ganization ot strong copies in Countios FOUR-FOLD BONUS FAVORED fly o Stag Correspondent Allenlown, Pu.. June 11). Rccom-I niemlation that strong county commit ties he orgnnlzed In Pennsylvania and that membership by the posts In the committee .shall be mandatory were made to the American Legion canton ment by the committee on constitution in Its unanimous report submitted nt this morning's session. The proposal of the, Philadelphia count delegation to the effect thnt county committees be organized, wuu prescribed powers, was indorsed bv the constitution committee. The formation of such a committee Bliall be effectea when three-fifths of the posts in any county, vote In favor of It. An optional plan, urged by the Henry II. Houston Post No. !i, Gcrmantown. provides for the selection of state deputies who will bo adjutants of the department commander and whose duties shall consist of supervising the work of the I.eglon in the various counties. The newh elected department com mander. Colonel David J. Davis, de clared today that the general idea of county organization In populous coun ties meets with his npproval. Lacka wanna county, he said, has such an or ganization with twenty -four posts rep resented. Under the proposed new constitution, which was drafted largely by a special committee headed by Jasper Y. Ron ton, Philadelphia, there will be a state executive committee of twenty-seven members, elected by the delegates nt the cantonment on the basis of three mem bers from each of the nine Legion state districts. These districts have the same boundaries as the draft districts. To Recommend Fourfold Ronus Plan Approval of the fourfold bonus pro gram ndoptcd by the national conven tion will be recommended to the can tonment by the resolutions committee, of which Frank W Melvin, Post 70. Philadelphia, is the chairman. This report favors the cash bonus as well as the other features of the bonus plnn submitted to Congress .mere are u nan uozrn posis wnosc delegates here will oppose the cash bonus, acting under instructions from thcir posts. There are a half dozen posts whose nergdoll's Escape Denounced Rergdoll's escape is the subject of a scathing resolution, which calls fqr tlie nromnt nunishment of nil civilians and armj officials who were guilty of wromrdolnc in connection with the fiasco that gave the notorious slacker his freedom. The committee had before it a reso lution to expunge from the record the De Valera resolution from the depart ment records. The report makes a rec ommendation to this effect, although no mention Is ninde of the name of De Valera. Posts which have taken actiouj similar to that of the last cantonment on this leader are requested to eras" their action from the record. Keystone Division officers made n clean sweep of American Legion bertliB nt the election yesterday afternoon. Colonel David J. Davis, of Scranton, chief of staff of the Twenty-eighth Division, defeated William (J.

MRS. MAUD WOOD PARK Chairman of the Nntlonnl Lcaguo of Women Voters, who attended tho Chicago convention nnd is now planning to bo among the early arrivals at San Francisco for tho Democratic convention Vital Clue Found in Elwell Case Continued from Tnie On Identity of the murderer. Acting on this belief the I.lwell home hns been sealed and Mr. Joyce declared his intention of continuing the investigation b.v ques tioning the dend man's friends. "I sincerely trust that these people will see this thing in tlie right light and tell us what they know," he said. Tor the past two days three separate investigations have been under way by the authorities working on the case. Aside from tho work being done by Captain Carey on the homicide squad of the police department. District At torney Swnnn with his assistants, Alfred J Talley and John J. Doollng, have been conducting a brnnch of yie investigation apart from the work be ing done by Mr. Joyce. Mrs. Mnrie I.nrscn, housekeeper for Joseph nowno Elwell, in the course of an examination yesterday by District Attorney Swann admitted that the "pretty young woman" who owned the pink silk night robe, boudoir cap nnd slippers found by the police In Elwell's home on the day he was slnin. was known to her as "Miss Wilson." "I knew her as 'Miss Wilson, ' " said Mrs I.arsen. "I.nter T learned that was not her true nnme." District Attorney Swnnn examined Mrs. I.arsen for over an hour in the presence of a stenographer. After his questioning he called in newspaper men and told them thnt Mrs. I.arsen would answer certain questions that they might ask her The district attorney made it clear from the start that he did not purpose to nllow the reports to question Mrs. Larscn with icspect to ".Miss Wilson's" identity. "To protect the honor of woman hood." said Mr. Swann. "wo linve de cided to withhold the girl's real name for the present, nnd It will not be made public now. We know who '.Miss Wil son' is. She Is not suspected of any thing connected with this crime. She. was, no doubt, indiscreet and she 'has,' no doubt, suffered for this indiscre tion." Mrs. Larien said that ".Miss Wil son" had stayed over night at the El well house on several occasions. Sho had gone to the house, Mrs. Larson mid. on the morning of the murder just after he was removed to the hospital. Although "Miss Wilson" had been a "frequent visitor" at the house, Mrs. Larson said she was positive she hud not seen her leaving the house the morn ing Elwell was slain. "Whv did you take 'Miss Wilson's pink silk night robe, boudoir cap and slippers after you had found them in the bedroom and hide them in the washtubs in the cellar that morning?" "Heeauso," said Mrs Larscn, "I didn't want any woman to be unneces sarily involved." During the course of the grilling by the newspaper men to which she hnd voluutiirilv submitted. Mrs. Lar.-en was sure of herself. She answered nil ques tions with perfect equanimity except those which hnd to do with possibles conversations with William IJarnes, El well's valet. She denied talking over tho murder with Barnes. It was obvii ous by her answers he whs 111 at ease. District Atiori.cy Swann jesterday cxamiued Mrs I.arsen and Edward Rhodes, Elwell's chauffeur. Neither was held, although earlier iu the day it was announced both would be formally de tained as material witnesses. "I haven t eliminated anybody from tlie case," said Mr. Swann last night. "We are as far off as we were a week ago." Rhodes told Mr Swnnn the person who killed Elwell "must have been a jealous man ir woman." Rhodes said it was a custom of Elwell to accost girls and women upon the street nnd invite them to ride In his automobile.

McAdoo Quits Race at San Francisco Continued from I'ae One ment for the nomination of Senator Glass "has already reached formidablfc proportions, and his supporters nssert that he will occupy from the 'first ballot a commanding position in the race at San Francisco." Senator (.lass last night declared he still favored the nomination of William O. McAdoo by the Democratic party for President, notwithstanding Mr. Me Adoo's decision not to permit his nnme to be presented nt the party's national convention. Told that some supporters of Mr. McAdoo now were planning to urge his nomination, Senator Glass said. "I still favor Mr. McAdoo's nomi nation. Even if I could measure up to the stature of the kind of man whom the convention should renlly nominate, I live in a section that is relied upon to furnish tlie electoral votes but not to supply the candidntc." Tho definite but unexpected refusal of Mr.. Mc.Vdoo to become a candidate for the presidential nomination com pletely alters the situation which will confront the 10012 delegates when they assemble in San Francisco June 28. What might have been a stampede for McAdoo on the first two or three ballots now promises to resolve itself Into tho customary long-drawn Democratic fight with the choice narrowed to a field con sisting of Senator Glass, Governor Cox, of Ohio; Attorney General Palmer, Vice President Marshall and John W. Davis, ambassador to Great Britain. The preconvention fight between the McAdoo and Palmer forces has been too bitter to permit many of the real Mc Adoo delegates to cross to the Palmer side, for Democratic leaders who have conducted tho fight for both of these men have drifted too far apart to be immediately reconciled. Delegates who are on their way to San Francisco with the inteution of voting for McAdoo hardly may be expected to turn sud denly and vote for Palmer. This situation doubtless enhances the chances of Governor Cox, and the Ohioan standi out as the most prominent figuro before the convention. Should Cox gather any substantial pro portion of the former McAdoo follow ing, ivuj. iiruuiuii.y win ienci tno candi dates on me nrsi uaiioi, despite the fact that Palmer goes into the convcnUou with the highest number of instructed delegates and claiming 320 pledged to him on the first ballot.

The oigntmntion of the conven tion and the choice of its officer nre matters which tho convention itself will decide. "I am not even a receptive candi date for the position of nerninnenf chairman. There are many members of the party with much stronger claims upon its recognition nnd who richly de serve any honor in its gift. I am going to tlie convention with no other thought than to co operate heartily with niv fellow delegates from the District of Columbia and to participate in the de liberations of the convention modestly and I hope helpfully. "I shall leave at the last possible mo ment and return to my duties in Wash ington the moment the convention ad journs."

L Police Admit Thoy Are Up Against Stone Wall in Trailing Swindler INSIST RANSOM WAS PAID Search for the abductor of Blakely Couglln, thirteen -mouth -old Norris town baby, has run against a stone wall, officials declared today, but the hunt will go doggedly on. "It haa now settled down to a long-drawn-out search," declared Chief Eilcr, of the Norristown police. "We will never give up, and we hope that some thing may 'break' at some time that will solve the kidnapping." Since the baby was lifted from its crib in the home of Mr. nnd Mrs. George II. Coughlin. near Norristown. no real clue has been developed, accord ing to the chief. The investigation has split into two branches, one a hunt for the abductor, the other a search for the person who swindled tho father out of $12,000. That sum was placed hack of the Swedcland trolley station last Monday nt the de- MM! n$ fliM cimnvertrl n hflllftnr rv.i- rn. .,,,. innc.1 Toner,h D Chief Ecr nuestioncl PJ' " Barron, ciuei ui iiuui-i. .. ...v. ...... who threw doubt on the "ransom" payment made by Mr. Coughlin. Eilcr later said he fully Believe the money was placed back of the station by the hopeful father. He is convinced, he said, that Carroll did not have an un interrupted view of the station Mon day night. The father and his friend and coun sel, Major C. Townlcy Larzelere, de scribed in detail their visit Monday night to tbet little trolley station nnd told how they placed the money at the spot designated by the supposed ab ductor. The nctual placing of the money occurred at 11:32 p. m., they said. Carroll and two watchmen assert they were at the statlou nt the hour named by Coughliu and I.arzclore. Carroll says no one placed money there. The chief's story was branded false by Mr. Coughlin and the major. ".Mr. Coughlin walked around the station before he hid the money ns directed," stated Major Larzclcrr. "The lights of the station were on while we were there. When we stepped from our motorcar I went first with a revolver ready in case the ransom de mand was simply a robbery plot. After the money had been placed we lingered only a few minutes and drove off with out any attempt at concealment." Chief Idler, of the Norristown police, worked the greater part of last night on a clue, but said this morning noth ing had been developed. Captain Price, of the state police identification bureau, arrived in Nor ristown last night nnd will aid in the Investigation. ACCUSE BIG N. Y.

The arrests came as a complete sur prise at the store and officials there at first stated that they belieted there must nave neen some error. S. Tl. Coons, advertising director, later gave out tho following statement : "Wc have not had time to look into the matter. It is possible that in n business so great as this there might be one or more colored pieces of merchan dise marked at a higher price than is provided tor in tlie regulations. All we know is that it is and has been our ,in. sire nnd intention to comply with nil government reguiniions. One of the highest profits alleged to have been made was at 1111 advertised salo of men's clothing. It is charged a suit costing $33 was sold for i??.",. Other charges were that a SS.CO mohair suit was sold at 520, a $10 suit was sold for $33.75, and nnothcr suit cost ing .$!.. 00 wus sold at $15. Tho agents "making the coniplnlnts said they had been investigating in the Gimbel store for two weeks, and thai thev hnd 'cone to Mr. Gimhcl i. feu days ago and Informed him of profits madn In clothing. According to Agent John J. Mitchell, Mr. Gimbel placed tiio responsiiiiiiiy lor uic alleged mark up in prices en Mr. Slawter and "thieatened to dlscharco him." Mitchell said Mr. Gimbel was amazed when Informed of the sale prices of the clothing, and was much perturbed this morning when arrested, suylng Hint his attorneys were out of town.

The fracas started on an tinner floor ot the building and developed into running tight down tue stairs, through scvernl offices nnd across Broadway, from where Mr. Gimbel and party beat a treat In an automobile. E SEARCH ON COUGHLIN CASE TO UNITE FACTIONS Harding Defers Vaoation to Work With Loaders for Party Harmony TREATY ISSUE WELCOMED , Washington. June 10. Senator I IVflaaaa. i"l Tf II .r. ... .1 "",lcu iinrumg, iiepuuiican prest- dentlal nominee. has temnornrllv abandoned his plan for a vacation and remained in Washington for further con ferences with party leaders. It was snld these conferences, held for the pur pose of learning the views of, nnd bringing together in harmonious organi zation, various factions of tho party, likely would be continued until the nominee leaves for his home in Marion, 0., where he will be notified formally of his nomination. The date of tho notification still was undecided today, but nn announcement aj to that was expected. Senator Harding still was receiving congratu lations nnd promises of support from Republican lenders throughout the country, nnd many of them called in person to discuss with him issues of the forthcoming campaign. All were agreed that the first and most essential step waH to bring about harmony and to weld into one organization nil ele ments of the party. Senator Harding had a long confer ence nt his homo Inst night with Chair man Will II. Hays, of the Republican National Committee, nnd Harry M. Daughcrty. his campaign manager. James Sloan, Jr.. for fourteen years secret service agent at the White House, took up his , duties today as personal attendant to the Republican nominee. , Senator Harding today received a let ter of congratulation from Governor Henry J. Allen, of Kansas, who nomi nated General Wood at the Chicago convention. "I wish to extend to you," Governor Allen said, "my sincere congratulations on your nomination nnd my very best wishes for your success in the campaign aim in irrc presidency, it will tie a Measure to do anything 1 can nt any time to further the cause of your clec- tlon." Governor Sproul, of Pennsylvania, assured Mr. Harding of his support in a letter this morning. His letter said: Since coming homo J have taken particular pains to talk to people and especially to men from Maryland, Dela ware hnd Virginia, to get their reaction upon the result of the convention. I have been gratified to find thnt the unanimous opinion is that the nominee and platform arc all right, and that they will command united Republican support in the fall. In Pennsylvania, of course, wc know you very well, and nre enthusiastically for you. but I thought tho reaction from the other states might be interesting to you. "It is needless to tell you that I am pleabed with the wholo situation and that you will have my devoted services in nny way in which they may bo useful." Republican senators, after reading President Wilson's challenge to make the peace treaty the predominant issue in the presidential campaign, expressed the opinion that it was an attempt on the part of the Chief Executive again to make himself the voice of his party and bring out of the San Francisco con vention an unequivocal indorsement of his two terms in office. Tho injection of the league issue found them ready and confident that the choice of the people would be to stand by the ma jority in the Senate.
