Gray, Who Disappeared
Two Months Ago.

Applying to District police for
aid in an effort to discover the fate
of John F. Gray. 60 years old,
wealthy New Orleans inventor, who
mysteriously disappeared from
Washington more than two months
ago, friends of the missing man
now believe he met with foul play.
He was known to have a large sum
OF money on his person.
Gray came to Washington in the
interest of his invention, a steam
turbine. and was supposed to have
returned to the University of Mich
igan, at Detroit, where the model
Of the turbine is being constructed.
He carried with him. according to
friends, $500 in two negotiable
checks on a New Orleans bank and
about $100 in cash.
When Gray failed to return to
Detroit, George Sarpy. of New Or
leans. a promoter of the invention,
conducted a futile search for him
through the West and South and
finally communicated with Fred g.
Dieterich and Company, attorneys,
with whom Gray conferred concern
ir.g patents on his invention.
"It 10 my opinion that Gray met
with foul play" said A. E. Diet
erich last night.
81 believe the invention was an
important one, though l doubt that
1t had anything to do with his
disappearance. l observed no signs
of eccentricity in his conduct
said Dieterich.
Conflicting with this theory Is
the Information given to police

Orleans that the two checks he
carried had not been cashed.

with black pompadour hair and a
small black mustache. His left

the Sur, River-Simms road call for
cutting across the Fort Shaw school
lot. which is not used. Unless the road
goes through the lot federal aid will be
withdrawn, according to Commissioner

privilege of crossing the unused land.
It is expected that the board of con-
