KILLING OF CALIFORNIA
WOMAN YET MYSTERY
HUSBAND RECEIVED LET
TER DEMANDING MONEY.
Police Believe Clues Connect
Crime With Dynamiting of
Governors Mansion.

Oakland, Cal, March 19.-The kill
ing of Mrs. George Greenwood, wife
of banker of this city, by an ex-
plosion at the Greenwood home here
last night remained almost as much
r mystery early today as when Mr..
Greenwood, aroused by the explosion,
looked from an upstairs window to
see hin wife's body in the garden be-
low. The police believed they had
two slender clues, consisting of six
small pieces of galvanized iron re-
moved from the body by surgeons,
along with a bit of lead, fragments
of brick and scraps of clothing, and
the fact that in January, 1918, let
ter received by Mr.. Greenwood de-
manded delivery of $4,000 at certain
spot under penalty of having his
home destroyed by an explosion.
The letter was signed &c. G. of c.
which initials also were appended to
2 letter received by Gov. William ID.
Stephens before the executive man
sion at Sacramento was dynamited
year ago. This led the police to
believe the same persons were re-
sponsible for both explosions.
Nothing has been developed today
10 show whether the explosive was
hurled at Mrs. Greenwood. whether
she picked it up and it exploded in
her hands, or whether she caused the
detonation by stumbling over it. Nor
had anything developed to indicate
the nature of the explosive. Mr..
Greenwood declared neither he nor
his wife had any enemies and that
he was at loss to account for the

RACEFOR HONOR
OF FLIGHT IS ON
America May Capture Gov.
eted Title in Trans
atlantic Contest.
S RTS NEXT MONTH
Lieut.. Bellinger Due in Wash
ington for Final In
structions.
RTS NEXT MONTH

Washington, March 19.-The race
for the honor of making the tirst
trans Atlantic flight is on.
Following the announcement tina,
French aviator already had made
the attempt. but had been forced nc
give up by an accident and that a
British plane has been shipped to
Newfoundland whence a British air
man will try to make the flight
Lieut. Commander Patrick l.. Bellin-
ger, Z. S.. NJ, was expected In Wash
ington today to receive final in
structions which will. in the opinion
of aviation experts here, result IN
America capturing the coveted
honor.
The fact that the navy department
was to attempt the flight was re-
vealed recently in the publication OF
orders assigning Commander ]. II.
Towers to take charge Of personnel
and equipment for the proposed
trans Atlantic flight" Since that
time Commander Towers, spurred
on by the rivalry that has sprung up
among the aviators of other nations
is reported practically to have fin
ished details of the flight with the
selection OF Beilinger as the pilot.
Bellinger. incidentally. was the first
American to pilot a plane under fire.
when he flew over Vera Cruz nearly
three years ago. while Mexican gun
ners concentrated their fire upon
him in an effort to bring him to
earth.
Start from St, Johns, N. r.
Navy department officials declined

tempted, or from where. However,
1t was being said the start would be
made early next month, and that st.
Johns, n. F.. would be selected as
the starting point because from there
TO the European coast is only about
1900 miles.
Aviation circles here are deeply
interested today in the report that
a secretly built British plane was to
try to negotiate the long flight from
this side Of the ocean. The machine,
a Sopwith. Is said to be able TO main
tain a speed Of 100 miles an hour for
twenty FIVE hours. It is equipped
with S75-horsepower engine.
The Frenchman who is credited
with having made the first attempt
but was forced to return because OF
a cracked piston. is Lieut.. Fontan,
who was trying to fly from Sene-
gambia 20 Brazil He IS now said to
be in Paris preliminary to making
another attempt at the earliest pos
sible opportunity.
Away, Accompanied
Tentative plans for the flight pro-
vide for placing destroyers every
few hundred miles along the route
so that at no time VIII the big plane
be unaccompanied.
The route of the flight has not
definitely been determined upon. but
probably will be from some point on
the North Atlantic coast via the
Azores to France or Great Britain.
The seaplane will be equipped with
wireless and by means OF a relay
through the destroyers it will be able
to maintain constantly in communi-
cation with shore.
