Many of his fellow.democrats are incensed over what they term his “autocratic assumption” of authority. William F. McCombs, Wilson’s campaign manager in 1912, in a public statement, shows resentment toward Wilson and vehemently opposes the chief executive’s stand upon the league of nations issue. William Jennings Bryan is primed to oppose any Wilsonian domination of the convention. Like McCombs, the Commoner denounces the for- eign policy of his former chief. The pow wow at the Golden Gate is far from a love feast or a MINNESOTA RESULTS ‘After losing every office on the state ticket in the Minnesota primaries, the Nonpartisan league grasping at a straw to bolster up its political fences:in this state points with pride to the re- nomination of Congressman Keller of St. Paul ra ,and the defeat of Congressman Volstead in the i “seventh district. i .

His nomination is scarcely a league victory. St. Paul was always a strong supporter of Keller when he was city commis- sioner and his strength was built up long before Townley or his league was ever heard of. Keller was‘a factor in St. Paul municipal politics eight or nine years ago while Townley was still an ob- scure socialist in Golden Valley county, Volstead’s ‘defeat was partially due to his ar- dent stand on the federal prohibition amendment.

B. Elwell, wealthy Gotham whist expert and turfman, has led to this city. Miss Elly Hope Anderson, 23 year. old vocalist, 3012 Columbus avenue, south, Minneapolis, is the hitherto unidentified guest of Victor von Schle- gel, New York business man, sought in connection with the baffling death of J. B. Elwell, wealthy Gotham whist expert and turfman. She is the wo- man who dined with von Schlegel on the evening of June 10 at the Ritz Carlton roof garden, the‘ last known meeting place of von Schlegel and El- well prior to the discovery of the turf- man on the morning of Friday, June 11, dying in his home with a bullet hole in his forehead. _ Meeting With Elwell Accidental. “The encounter with Mr. Elwell, while I was with Mr. von Schlegel was wholly accidental,” said Miss Ander- son Tuesday. “Certainly I hoped I would escape discovery,” she asserted, smiling a little at her own vehemence. “You whuldn’t want to be mixed up in an af- fair like this, would you?” she asked. The identification of Miss Anderson has been held by New York police as an essential link in the chain of evi- dence they are seeking to forge around the slayer of the dead person. Par- ticularly it is expected to clear up the connection of von Schlegel, who is a jinnespolis resident, with the slay- ing. Mr. von Schlegel had phoned me on Wednesday, June 10, the night be- fore the murder—-and learning that I intended leaving for home Friday morning, had ‘invited me to: dinner Thursday evening,< Miss Anderson said: “He gave me my choice of any New York and I picked the Ritz-Carlton roof garden because it was the most fashionable. We met Mr. Elwell twice in the course of the evening. Both meetings were brief, casual and apparently without any iil feeling on either side. Miss Viola Krause, Mr. von, Schlegel’s divorced wife, was with Mr. Elwell on both oc- casions. We met Mr. Elwell first at the checking room in the Ritx-Carlton. Mr. von Schlegel approached the counter to check his coat just as Mr. Elwell was leaving. I don’t recall cer- tainly who spoke first, but I remember that both the men smiled and that Mr. von Schlegel waved his hand. Sat Near Elwell Party in Cafe “By the time Mr. von Schlegel had checked his coat Mr: Elwell and his party had taken an elevator to the coof garden. Mr. Elwell was with Miss Krause and a party. We took a suc- ceeding elevator and when we reached our table in the roof garden found our. selves only two tables away from the Elwell party. remarked with a laugh that he esem. ed unable to keep away from Viola Krause, even though the law had given him the privilege. just received her divorce decree. .Of course,” and Miss Anderson put much seriousness into her voice at this juncture, “he didn’t mean any- thing by that remark. It was just a joke. He had spoken to me several times before about Miss Krause, but always with the utmost good humor, He never said anything against her. ‘She’s a fine girl, but we just couldn’t get along so we. decided to get a di- vorce,’ he said. That's the most, in fact, that is everything he ever said. about her. “After we had orderéd a light lunch, we danced and in the crowd once we nearly collided with ‘Mr. Elwell and Miss Krause and I remembber -that this time, too, Mr. Elwell and Mr. von Schlegel smiled again at each other. “And That's All | Know. “We danced some more, between courses, and the Elwell party did too, them again, m and at about 9:30 p. m. they left.

CROP SUMMARY | es ye Weshigton, D. C., June 24.—While the week was too cool and cloudy over most central and northeastern states for the best growth of warm weather crops, generally satisfactory growth was reported, The cool weather favored the win- ter wheat, preventing too rapid ripen- ing. The wheat harvest was begun during the week as far north as east- central Kansas and central Missouri, with favorable weather Conditions ex- cept that there was some delay over the southern Plains due to heavy rains. ‘Spring wheat made very good pro- gress and the condition of the crop in most sections is very satisfactory. It was rather too cool for the best development of the corn crop over central and southewestern districts, but conditions were favorable over the southeastern states. ‘Cultivation made very good progress, except lo- cally where it was delayed by wet soil. ~ Meadows, pastures and _ potatoes made generally good advance, but it was mostly too cool for warm weath- er truck over the central districts. ~—e SPRAYING FRUIT TREES.
