STILL A MYSTERY
Efforts to Connect Elmer Belk
with the Recent Holdups
Prove Unsuccessful
WOMEN CALL AT COUNTY JAIL
Dr. and Mrs. Barnhardt Assert
Prisoner Not the Man Who
Attacked Them
Elmer Belk, held in the county Jail
on a charge of having vlolatod his
parole and accused by the authorities
of having attacked Alexander Hamil
ton and Mlsa Mary Verde, has not b«en
Identified by any of the other men'and
•women held up recently by a myste
rious criminal. Every effort made
yesterday to connect Belk with recent
attacks on women failed.
Dr. and Mrs. William Barnhardt,
2209 Michigan avenue, who were held
up the night of September 14, called
at the county Jail yesterday and after
a good look at Belk positively asserted
that he was not the man they accused
of the attack. Bevoral women who
would not give their names to the
county Jail attaches asked to see the
prisoner and after seeing him declared
h,e was not guilty of the attacks on
them.
Sheriff Hamm'el does not think that
Belk Is the man for whom the police
and sheriff's office have been looking
for weeks. .
"Dr. Barnhardt told ma the man
who attacked him and his wife was
taller and more ereot," said the sher
iff. "We will be glad to have any
othor person who was attacked call at
the Jail and have a look at Belk, but
I hardly think he Is the man for
whom we are looking."
Belk's reputation before he was ar
rested at first gavo the authorities the
Impression that he was probably the
man wanted. He has been in trouble
before and is no stranger to the police.
They believe he was a member of the
notorious "coyote gang," which infest
ed the city several years ago and was
responsible for many holdups and rob
beries. ,
Belk was on a three years' parole,
for the robbery of an old man two.
years ago. He lives on the Mission
road with an aged mother who called
to sco him at the county Jail yester
day. Their interview was short and
the woman went away with her head
bowed before the scrutiny of the crowd
and apparently much affected by the
meeting with her son.
Belk will be held on a charge of
violating his parole until charges are
filed against him by Miss Verde and
her companion for the attack of Mon
day night, which he does not deny.
His excuse for the attack is that he
mistook the couple for persona he
knew and with whom he had formerly
quarreled. They deny ever having seen
him before. '

CORONER ADJUDGES DEATH
OF SOLDIER ACCIDENTAL
After an in'-cjtigation of the facts.
Coroner Hartwell yesterday signed' a
certificate of accidental shooting in the
case of Richard Griffith Mytton. 41
years old, whose body was found in the
Seventh regiment armory Thursday
night with a bullet wound through the
heart.
No reason can be assigned by his
brother, Robert Mytton, for the guards
man taking his own life, except that he
was mourning the death of his mother,
who died a short time ago. Friends
and associates of the deceased cannot
give any reason for him taking his own
life.

ments.

PEARY'S SHIP MAY SERVE
IN RAISING SUNKEN MAINE
Owner Arbuckle Also Considers
Plan for Floating Hotel
NE7W YOKK, Sept. 23.—The ship
Roosevelt, In which Peary went to the
Arctic regions on his way to the north
pole, has been bought by John Ar
buckle, of this city. Ultimately she v.-ill
be used In connection with Mr. Ar
buckle's charities for working men and
women. He was the originator of the
"floating hotel" for persons not able to
pay the average rates for board and
lodging.
The Roosevelt may, however, see
more active and honorable service by
retiring to the placid career of a float
ing lodging house or hospital. Mr. Ar
buckle hopes to secure the contract
for raising' the battleship Maine and if
successful he will make the Roosevelt
flagship of the little fleet of vessels
which will undertake the task of sal
vage.
"The Roosevelt's hardships in the
far north," said Mr. Arbuckle, "have
proved to me the vessel's capabilities
and staunchness. I can conceive of no
other ship which would approach her
for this work. I wanted the best
wrecking boat in the world and I have
got it, one which combines tremendous
strength and power and seaworthiness
o£ the highest class."

FAVOR INCREASE
IN PACIFIC FLEET
Secretary of Navy Much in Sym
pathy with Idea of Rear
Admiral Evans
[Associated Press]
SAN DIEGO, Sept. 23.—Naval men
generally, and Secretary of the Navy
Meyer, particularly, are much in sym
pathy with Rear Admiral Evana' dec
laration In favor of a big Pacific fleet,
according to a special from Washing
ton in the Union this morning.
The special says they want to see the
new fleet provided for by additions to
the navy and not by a divison of the
present force. Senator Perkins, chair
man of the senate naval affairs com
mittee, is quoted as being strongly In
favor of a big Pacific fleet. Officers
of the navy now in Washington refuse
to be quoted, but they claim that Pres
ident Taft and Secretary Meyer are
for more battleships, and that when
they are granted there is no douht
that the Pacific coast will be given a
strong fleet. The special says Secre
tary Meyer came out definitely in a
public speech in Boston as being in
favor of two fleets, one for the Atlantic
and one for the Pacific. He said:
"The really effective and honorable
method of avoiding war is to be pre
pared for war by the possession of an
efficient, up-to-date and thoroughly
equipped fleet of battleships, both on
the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans.
Our naval armament should be so pro
vided that eventually we shall have a
force of battleships in each ocean
equivalent to that which wo now hava
,in the Atlantic."
INVESTIGATE PROPERTY OF
COUPLE BURNED TO DEATH
Certificates of accidental death wore
signed by Coroner Hartwell yesterday;
in the cases of Mr. and Mrs. J. D.
Morgan, who were burned to death In
a flre which totally destroyed their
home at 413 North Madison avenua
early Thursday morning. The bodiea
are being held at Bresee Bros.' under
taking parlors.
As the couple have no surviving rel
atives as far as can be learned, their
affairs have been placed in the hands
of the public administrator. Morgan,
is said to have owned considerable
property in Hollywood. Funeral ar
rangements will not be made until
Bryson has investigated their prop
erty holdings.
