HH SAN FRANCISCO. June 23. F'irst
RH guns of the Democratic national con-
BjV ventlon were fired today when the
wKK' national committee mot to draw up
mWm tho temporary roll of delegates. Three
BH contests had been called to the com-
B1H mlttcc's attention but only one 01
BHH them, that involving efforts to give
r WW Senator Reed of Missouri a scat witn
'fXHH the delegation from that state. Pro'"-
ytSH lsed more than routine interest. Only
SfiH one contest, that from Georgia, has
'!9H bec" officially filed with the com-
sSHH mittce.

IlH matlon of Clark Howell as nation ll
committeeman from that state. There
sH appeared to be no question as to the
9HI result In what was described as a;
"clear case" where statutory proyl- j
flH slons in the state and party rules dlc-i
H tated the course of the eommiuee.
IH Ttccd Case Difficult.
H The Reed case may prove morel
flH difficult to deal with. An effort 'o,
HB9 placo the senator on the floor of the
H convention, although the Missouri
IHB state convention rejected him as a
ffl delegate at large, wa3 expected and
HHI because of his attitude toward the ad-
fHf ministration during senate battles over
EB tho peace treaty, It was said to be
1 - possible that strong resistance would
be met before the committee.
H The .third contest, from Oreson, was
H not regarded as a serious case and
DH migliUiot,. it ,-,vassaid maLrlaJiz.e
BIH all. In fact, natlonl committee offl-
HHI clals did not know before they as-
H sombled to examine credentials what
H appearance was to bo made in any of
HH the contest cases.

HH even against his flat declaration tlvtt
H ho was not a candidate, and the con-
H flicta.s to a prohibition enforcement
Hj plank in the platform.
H Plans for McAdoo.
Hj McAdoo adherents were said early
H today to be shaping their plans to
B withhold his name from the balloting
H throughout tho early stages. They
H have learned that tho former secre-
H tary of the treasury has still a strong
H following, but are said to feel that in
B view of his attitude it would not be
HP expedient to present has name unless
H I tho expected deadlock between the
HLJ leading candidates, Palmer and Govc'r-
E nor Cox of Ohio, should develop. In
j that event thore appeared to be little
H. doubt that McAdoo would be put for-
H ward to break the blockade with the-"
HH assurance of considerable strengtir'at
fjH the start- ills friends aro -said to
IH have put their heads together to for-
H mulate plans of this nature and map
H out strategy of the subsequent earn-
H palgn to obtain for him the necessary
H two-thirds majority on which Demo-
Hj cratlc nominations must rest.
H On the prohibition enforcement
Hv question; heretofore the most promi-
Hi ncnt subject of discussion in cunven-
U Hon, circles, there devoloped yeslcr-
Hf daya sudden movement to ignore the
H) question 'entirely In tho platform. Sug-
H gestions of this nature came to Cuair-
B man Cummings of the national com-
B' mittee from camps representing varl-
B ous shades of opinion ranging from
B bone-dry to almost as completely wol.
H These feelers toward a harmony pro-
H L'ram werr not clear iMiouirh. how-
II ever, to show that all parties to tho
j contest had arrived at the conclusion
that such a course would be wise.
While It was pointed out that the
Virginia Democrats had followed the
courao of silence on the Volstead en
forcement act in framing the platform
which President AVIlson has approved,
which might Indicate the admlnlstra
,' tion attitude, It was suggested, much

mined to carry tho war in tho enemy's
country in meeting the "wet" drive
at tho platform which began moro
than a week ago. and offer an em
phatic bouo-dry declaration on hia
own account.
Tho movement for platform silence
i on iho enforcement measure is said
to have sprung in part from consid
1 cration of thin report a."v to the Ne-
braskan's plans. Some at least of its
advocatcn arc said to desire now to
head off a vote on such a bone-dry
program as a matter of expediency.
If the issue were forced to a conclu
sion on tho platform struggle these
strategists argued. It might be moro
i prejudicial to their hopes for modl-
flcation of the Volstead act than bene-
flcial, while complete silence would
leavo party representatives In congress

j NEW YORK. Juno 25. "There is
no great mystery abdut the ElweU
murder," William J. Burns, interna
tionally famous detective said to me
today.
"It was committed in all probabil
j ity by a woman, and by a woman who
had spent the greater part of the night
: in Elwell's home pleading with him
j not to cast her off."
i In making this statement Burns
took sharp Issue with the authorises,

I UTTasdond iio work on ihe mur
' der, bui has read with extreme care
i newspaper accounts of It and has ar
1 rived at his conclusion by eliminating
1 possibility after possibility.
"The fact that the murder was com
mitted with a .45 calibre automatic
does not remove the possibility of a
woman being responsible," snid Burns.
"The trigger of an automatic pulls
very easily; all that Is necessary Is
' a slight pressure, and Indeed It Is a
' weapon that a desperate, Infuriuted
j woman might well be supposed to have
used. Fix the situation In your mind
and discard the unessential features.
I Lived Free ami Kasy Life.
! "ElweU has lived a free and easy
i life with women. Then tho report
circulates that he is about to re-marry.
! He even goes so far as to engage
home for the Saratoga racing seaaun
in the. name of 'Mr. and Mrs. Elwell."
"Word of this reaches one of the
women with whom he has been on In
timate terms and who possesses the
key to his city houve. She cornea
thoro tho night preceding tho mur
der. She 'waits for him until ho gets
home.

at ;i: l." a. m. It makes no

the woman who had come to ple.nl
with him not to throw her over. She
was In the bedroom he hart furnished
In feminine fashion and was probably
undressed.
"She a3lted him if it were true that
he was to ro-marry. She demanded i
to know what was to become of her
aftei tho relations that had existed
botweon them. She reproached him
for his lack of constancy. She uc
clared she would never give him up.
"Meanwhile Elwell undressed, re
moving his wig and false teeth, for he
was on terms of the utmost intimacy
with her.
'The Woman Scorned."
'In all probability they quar

and more infuriated. In our work
we have met many examples of
'lhc woman scorned' ond we know
wliat they are capable of under

them willing to commit u hun

"Elwell was probably glad of an
oxcuse to leave tho room when tho

"Thou sho revealed hor pistol, took

After tills she swiftly dressed and left

sho returned later to remove tell-tale
bits of evidence.
"I am certain that moro questioning
of the Laraen woman, JSlwell's former
housekeeper, will reveal a great deal
about tho so-called mystery. From

George P. Hampton Presents
Program Which Agriculturists
Want Party to Adopt
By MAX STERN
Staff Correspondent.
SAN FRANCISCO. Jun 25 George
r. Hampton, managing director of
! tho Farmers' National council. Is in
San Francisco to tell the Democrats
what 7aU;0UO American' farmers wunt.
Their program, practical" rejected
at Chicago, Is constructive, but rad
ical enough to have won the enmity
of tho 125,000 men. whom Hampton
says "control one-third of the wealth
of the United States."
Their plans consist of five main
planks, and any party that wants tho
support of the great farmers' organi
zations banded under the council's
head must nail thcin on Its platform.
Platform Dcmandh.
Hero are the American farmers' demands-
which go, says Hampton, along
with tho farmers' vole;
1. (.ioveninient ownership of
rallwnys and merchant marine.
'2. Control of (he puckers
through such legislation as the
Jvcnyoji-Andcrson bill laying spe
cial slr"js on the Kent section
which providers a scientific devel
opment of a new marketing sj.s
lem. Adequate and cheap credits
through liio broadening of (he
Farm Loan bank's.
I. Liquidation of the war
debt by taxation ol" privilege in
stead of industry,'
0, Tho continuance of (he
Foderul Trade commission, which
lias been or (Iio' greulcM help
to the people In their fight against
iho'liigh cost of lhing, the pack
ers' domination, of food and other
matters.
Farmers Dissatisfied.
"Tlie farmers of the United
States are 1'nr from satisfied with
(ho Jtepublleun platform," said
Hamilton. "Jn met, we arc in
clined to bo very critical of its
at lit udo toward producers."
Hamilton concludes tliat privato
ownership of transportation won't
work. Its pro3ont inefficiency is a
blow to agriculture as well as manu
facturing, while tho farmers face an
increase of DO per cent in freight rates.
Hampton charges that farmers aro
having trouble in getting adequate
credits, and are paying a heavy toll
to tho money lenders". Over six bil
lion dollars in mortgages on farms
at average rates of 8'pei' cent testify
to chls burden carried by tho pro
ducers. Favors lixecss Profits Tax.
"Tho people do not realize," said
Hampton, Bpeakinc of the war debt,
"that American corporations mado
U CT billion dollars net profits abovo
taxes since wo entered the war, and
that our total national debt is over
30 billions. Wo farmers want the
highest rate of taxation levied on es
tates and incomes, war and oxcess
profits and also upon land speculative
ly held, until tho war debt has been
paid.
"The National Council has always
worked for measures of common In
terest between tho farmer and un
ion labor, and has thereby Incurred
the enmity of those Who would like
to keep farmers and workers fight
ing," Hampton Is keenly, interested in
helping elect William' Kent to tho sen
ate from California.' ' Ho calls Kont
"tho best friend the farmer ever had
in Washington."
