DRUGS MAY HAVE

De CHAULNES
CONFLICTING STORIES TOLD OF
HIS DEMISE
Duchess Leaves Paris Pending Conn
pietion of Funeral Arrangements.
Relatives Caring
for Her
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
PARIS, April Notwithstanding
the official report that the Due de
Chaulnes died from natural causes, the
Paris newspapers print various Ver-
sions as TO the manner and place of
his sudden demise.
The Petit Journal says the duke died
in small apartment In house belong
ing to his sister, the Duchess d'Uzes, In
the Rue Vandycke. He retired Thurs
day night, according to the Petit Jour-
nal, and, not appearing Friday morn
| ing, "a servant entered the apartment
and found him dead in bed, his features
presenting a livid appearance, as If de-
composition had set in. Beside the
body, says the account, were bottles
containing cocaine, ether and morphine.
From this the newspaper draws the
deduction that death was due to an
overdose of drugs affecting naturally
weak heart.
The body of the duke was conveyed
at daylight this morning from the hotel
to the Church of St. Philip. 1t was
accompanied only by an undertaken
and his attendants and the Due de
Luynes, cousin of the Due de Chaul-
nes and the official head of the de
Chaulnes household.
The cure of the church received the
cOIIln at the QOOT. II was 0SSOilcQ W
the crypt and after simple blessing
there deposited The body will remain
In st. Philips pending completion Of
the arrangements for the funeral.
These will be settled upon definitely
upon the arrival of the Duke and
Duchess d'Uzas. 1t is practically
certain, however, that the funeral and
interment will occur at the Chateau
de Aprierie, the ancestral residence of
the Luynes outside of Paris. The
Duchess de la Rouchefocauld and the
Princess Galitzin, an aunt of the young
duke, remained last night with the
widowed duchess, who was Miss Theo-
dora Shonts of New York. Early this
afternoon the duchess went down to
the Chateau de Aprierie, accompanied
by the Due de Luynes.
The reports that the Due de Chaulnes
had died in his sisters apartments in
the Rue Vandycke may have arisen
from the desire of the management of
the Hotel Langham to make 1t appear
that the death of the duke had not oc-
Cured in that establishment.

WEST POINT ROW LEADS
OFFICER TO LEAVE SERVICE
Lieutenant Ayres, Who Figured in
aOvercoat Incident" at Military
Academy, Resigns from
the Army
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, April 25.-Army or
ders announce the resignation of Sec
ond Lieutenant H. Fairfax Ayres of
the Seventh cavalry, son of Lieut.. Col.
Charlie G. Ayres of the Fourteenth
cavalry, retired
Lieutenant Ayres' resignation has
been accepted by the president, to take
effect May IA, next. No reason for the
young mans act in resigning is given
in the formal orders announcing the
fact, nor do the officers on duty at the
war department make any eXplana-
ton of it, except to say that some
months ago an affirmative reply had
been given by the department to an
inquiry addressed to it on behalf of
young Ayres asking whether he would
be permitted to resign after he had
received a commission.
Lieutenant Ayres was a cadet at
West Point last spring when the "Eas-
ter overcoat incident occurred, on
which occasion several of the cadets
leased their heavy coats to girls to pro-
tect them from the weather. This was
contrary to orders, and met with the
disapproVal of the commandant OF
cadets, Colonel Howse.
Miss Ayres, as sister of Lieutenant
Ayres, was among the girls visiting the
academy at the time. Her mother took
up the matter and a controversy
sprang up, the final effect of which was
the issuance of an order from the war
department forbidding Mrs. Ayres ad-
mission to the West Point military
reservation. Thereupon Colonel Ayres,
father of Cadet Ayres, espoused the
cause of his wife and in an interview
was alleged to have criticised army
methods employed in dealing with the
trouble between Mrs. Ayres and the
West Point authorities. He declined
to answer whether he had made cer-
tain statements in that interview upon
the demand of the war department,
and was ordered before a retiring
board and retired on account of disa-
bility, incident to the service, July "a,
last.
