SLAYER QUARRELS
BEFORE TRAGEDY
Motive for Davenport Murder
Suicide Found in Hot Words
With Neighbor Woman.

The Davenport police, who have
been investigating the recent case of
suicide and murder at the home of
Mrs. Tillie Ehmpke, Oil 1-2 West Sew
enth street, Davenport, have discov-
cred that Mrs. Ehmpke, who was seri-
ously wounded in the shooting fray,
did not tell the truth in her story of
the tragedy.
BY careful investigation the officials
have found that Henry Riepe, who did
the shooting, went in company with
Mrs. Ehmpke to a nearby saloon to
get a can of beer. On the way back
hot words ensued between them, and
as they neared the home, Riepe drew
revolver and fired from behind her,
inflicting a wound in the back of the
head. Mrs. Ehmpke claimed in her
first story that Riepe approached her
while she was on the porch of their
home and opened fire, and the police
could not understand why the wound
was in the back of her head.
After shooting the woman, Riepe
proceeded to the home, where he saw
Mrs. Ehmpke's brother, julius johann
son, sitting on the porch. liter shoot
ing him, Riepe went into the house
and ended his own life.

WAR RISK BILL is READY
FOR ACTION BY CONGRESS

Washington. Aug. 1S.-The war risk
insurance bill, providing for the crea-
ton of federal fund to be utilized in
sharing war risk insurance on vessels
flying the American flag in the foreign
trade, has been tentatively drafted
and will be introduced in the senate
and the house of representatives to-
day.
The enactment of this legislation is
considered by those interested in the
new emergency registry law for the
development of an American merchant
marine. more important now than the
steps already taken to facilitate the
granting of American registry to
ocean-carrying steamers.
A prominent official of the admins
tration said last night that unless the
federal war risk insurance law were
passed 1t was probable that not many
foreign steamers, Hamburg-American
or otherwise, would be bought by
