HOUSE IS SHOCKED BY ELSTON'S DEATH Representative’s Suicide Is Puzzle to Friends—18 Asso- ciates to Attend Funeral. AR E NG NTATIVE J. A. ELSTON. REPRESE Representative Julius Kahn of Cali- fornia, dean of the California delega- tion, announced to the House today,| “with profound regret and deep sor- row, the passing” of John Arthur El- #ton, member of Congress from the sixth California district. The body of Representative Llston was found the Potomac river last night a short distance west of the north end of the Highway bridge. sued a certificate of suicide by drown- ing. Representative Kahn told the House that at some future time he would ask that a day be set apart for me- morial services. On Mr. Kahn's mo- tion the House authorized the Speaker to appoint a commiitee of eighteen members to attend the funeral and the House immediately adjourned out of respect. Favorite in Congress. Representative Elston was one of the most popular men in Congre snd no death in recent vears has caused a deeper gloom to fail-over the membership of the House. Close per- sonal friends in Cong: of whor the most intimate was Represents tive Barbour of California, said they are unable to ribe reason which would prompt Repr e Elston to c¢bmmit suicide. Those who knew him best are unanimous in say- ing that they believe Lie was tempo- rarily insane. The only cause for worriment that they can think of is in connection with the Alameda naval base project which is in Representative Elston's district. He appeared much depressed and worried over his failure to got favorable action upon this pro‘ect. his friends who had talked with ‘him about it said today. They could not understand, however. how he could have allowed ‘it to play npon his mind to such an extent us to leud him_to suicide. His most intimate friends., in- cluding Representative Barbour -and Stephen T. Mather, director of the national park serv with whom he lived at the Gar House. 1014 Vermont avenue, said *oday that they knew no other cause for W riment. He was not worrying about tinancial atters and had never ex- pressed other worries except con- cerning his family. Awaits Word From Family. Funeral arrangements had not been made late tod because Representa- tive Rahn was awaiting advices from Mr. Elston’s family. As many mem- bers of the California delegation as can get away from duties here will attend the funeral.

He dis- agrees with the reading made by th. police. Instead of the word “offense” his version substitutes the word “offer”; instead of the word “inno- pently” he substitutes “uncondition- ally,” and instead of “people” he sub- stitutes “sroject.” . Note Explains Motive. . A note taken from his found on the river bank read: “I am in a chain of circumstances that spell ruin, although my offense } was innocently made in the besin- ning. T hope all the facts will come sut. My staying means embarrass- ment to my district and to a worthy clean and generous: generally beileved that the note had reference to the proposed | naval base at Alameda, Calif.. a proj- | ect that did not receive favorable consideration in Congress. Repre- sentative Blston, it Is stated, owned property about six miles from the pro- gosed naval base, and it is belleved he feared such ownership had been ene of the things operated ainst the project. i Representative Eiston discussed the roposed establishment of the naval base at Alameda with other members that f Congress, and it was noticed that; e displayed a nervousness to an alarming extent. So nervous did he become that he sought the advice of Dr. Gregg Custis Birdsall. 5 Last Seem Alive Tuesday. -z Tuesday morning Mr. Elston decided would remain away from the Cap- 1, and consulted his physician. 'ord was left that he should not be sturbed, and it is now thought he 8sibly ‘contemplated ending his life &t home. : late in- the day, however, he left e apartment, where he resided with tephen T. Mather, director of the na- jonal park service, Interior Depart- ent. His failure to return to his yuartment that night was regarded being significant, but it was not until Wednesday afternoon that Mr. Mather and Representative Barbour ppealed to. the police to institute a earch. - Detective John Flaherty was de- iled to make the search. He learned hat Representative Elston had em- Pployed H. F. Collins, 3208 Q street, to arive him to Great Falls, on the Vir- ginia side of the river. Reaching a peint some distance be- ond Cherrydale, where the road no jonger was in .eondition for auto- . mobiling, Collins suggested it would be well to return to the city and make the trip on the Maryland side. ‘The driver was directed to proceed ‘to Arlington cemetery, which he did, and then he drove to the city, Rep- rementative Elston leaving him at 15th street and Pennsylvania avenue about 4:45 o'clock.

Mr. Elston had been active in Cali-| fornia politics for some years. He was one of the original members of the “Lincoln Republican League,” which was credited with effecting the election of Hiram Johnson, now sen- for senator from California, as gov- ernor.” He was married in 1911 to Tallu- lah Le Conte, daughter of the first president of the University of Cali- fornia.
