] JEALOUSY OR
GANG WARFARE
THOUGHT CAUSE
Bodies Are Found in Bedroom
Of Their Apartment Several
Hours After Killing
MURDERER Is SOUGHT
Taxi Driver and Man PaSsen-
ger. Who Found Bodies,
Held For Questioning


St Paul, July 6.-(Pp-Two women
were found shot to death in their
home here early today and police
turned to theories Of jealousy or pos
sibly gang warfare in seeking a solu-
tion of the crime.
Dead many hours. the partly clad
body Of Mrs. Teddy Du Bois was
found beside "a bed. while nearby lay
the fully clothed body Of Miss Anne
Grenville. Both had been shot
through the head.
Police detained for questioning
Charles NJ. Hutchinson who, with
taxi driver. discovered the bodies
when they went to the house early
today. Hutchinson said he knew
noth.ng that could aid in solving the
crime.
Once Operated Hotel
Mrs. Du Bois, who was about 81
years old. formerly ran one Of the
smaller downtown hotels. and Miss
Grenville, apparently nearly 80 years
old, was the daughter of labor
organizer, George Grenvillc, now
believed to be in Harvey, Ill.
While police alluded to gang war
fare" as possible element in the
crime. they offered nothing tangible
in support of this theory and ad-
v tilted they had nothing definite on
which to hang a motive.
In searching the women's res Fence,
the police found gallon can Of
alcohol under bed and partly
filled quart bottle. A small guam
titv of "near beer" also was found
Tells of Finding Bodies
A. E. Beck, the taxi driver with
Hutchinson, said the latter entered
the house when his ring went un-
answered and went through the liv-
ing room, kitchen and to the bed
room door calling for "Anne."
Then, Beck said, Hutchinson ran
back to him and told him to go and
see what was the matter. When he
saw the women's bodies, Beck said
he ran to his cab and drove to dis
trict police station, four blocks away,
and reported the crime.
When police reached the house.
Hutchinson. they said, was hysterical
some hours.
Had Been in Bed
Mrs. Du Bois was clad only in Il
single garment when found and ap-
parcntIy nau Dcen III the Oeu DeSIOc
which her body lay. Miss Grenville's
body was found fully clad, and police
believe she walked in after her COM
panion had been killed, recognized
the slayer and was killed to pre-
vent disclosure of her knowledge.
Besides being shot through the
head. Mrs. Du Bois had bullet
wound through her right chest and
another which entered the left side
Of her head toward the rear. Miss
Grenville was shot once under the
left ear and once through the lower
left side of the jaw. All the wounds
had been made at close range, powder
burns surrounding them. No weapon
was found in the house.
Each OF the women apparently had
been shot once after falling to the
floor.

0USTING DRILL
FROM COLLEGES
Is ADVOCATED
Church Suggests Removal of
Compulsory Feature From
Either University or A. c.

Demand that compulsory military
training be eliminated from either
the state university or state agricul-
tural college has been made here by
W. j. Church, member Of the state
board of administration which con-
trolls these and other state institu-
tions.
Church's demand came in the form
of resolution which has been in
formally presented to the other
board members and which will come
up for final vote on July &c.
While other members Of the board
were reticent regarding the probable
result of the vote they intimatcd
that they do not expect it to pass.
'Majored Too Much
The text Of the Church resolution
follows: II feel with = large number
Of taxpayers of the state that in our
two colleges, the university and the
agricultural college, military train
ing has been majored to such an ex-
tent that it has become compulsory
to male students to take the same
If physically fit.
"As there are only two colleges
in our state supported by state
money, and the agricultural college
being land grant college under the
Morrell Act, I feel that at least one
of them should be fre" of the COM
pulsory feature 50 that our boys
could have choice in the matter of
the school maintained by their own
state.
"Both of these schools are making
military training required subject
and the course must be carried, on
for at least two years after enroll
ment to have it counted on their de-
grees at the finish of the fonr-ve""
course. which makes it practically
compulsory.
II, therefore, as member of the
board of administration, wish to
have spread on our minutes the fol-
lowing resolution:
"'That neither the university or the
agricultural college shall, at any time
make military training a required
subject, or with any given length of
time for service, leaving the course
q purely elective one, if it is felt
necessary to continue t." same and
l move that the above resolution be
adopted by this board"
Places Self on Record
) Church said he is we'll aware that
his suggestion will meet violent op-
position in some quarters but that
he offered the resolution in order
that he might place himself on rec
ord. He is known to have been OPP
posed to military training in state
educational institutions for long
time and is q close friend Of Senator
Lynn J. Frazier, who is reported here
to have made speeches against COM
pulsory military training in colleges
during q recent tour Of the west.
The heads of the two institutions
affected by his resolution doubtless
will deny that miltar~ training is
compulsory, Church said, and charged
kthat they have tevadcd the issue in
the past by contending that military
training is not compulsory since any
student who doesn't like it can at
tend some other institution.
A bill directed against military
training at state educational insti-
tutions was introduced in the legis-
lature last winter by Rep. M. T.
Lillehaugen of Brocket but s. it was
short lived. the house voting it down
by an overwhelming majority.

attachc, and H. A. Gibbons, personal
representatives of Rodman Wana-
maker, who sponsored the Americas
flight across the Atlantic.
The visit of Commander Byrd and
his three flight companions To the
premier was brief one, for M.
Poincare had to yield to the pres
sure of parliamentary work and
hurry away for the opening Of the
morning session Of the chamber.
Flyers Congratulated
The premier chatted pleasantly for
a few minutes with the airmen, con
graduating them on their courage
and endurance and the great scicn-
tific success of their exploit. Then
he pinned the legion of honor cross
on Commander Byrd's breast and
gave them the traditional embrace.
The commander thanked him sim
rly and expressed in behalf Of his
comrades and himself deep apprec:a-
ton of the warm hearted welcome
they had been accorded in France
and the sympathetic interest with
which the French people had follow
ed the flight, especially the last few
hours Of the early morning battle
with the fog.
Crowd Is Enthusiastic
The aviators' visit to M. Polncare
was not widely heralded. There was
only a small crowd in front of the
entrance Of the ministry when they
arrived, but it was an enthusiastic
one. The flyers responded to the
cheers by bowing ana tipping their
hats.
The monoplane America has az
rived 1t Cherbonrg. 1t took about
half the time required to fly across
the Atlantic to get itsfrom ,Ver-Sur-
Mer, where the landing was made. to
the port of Cherbourg. Mechanics
at the French naval station are try
ing to put it into flying order.
On certain stages Of the journey it
scraped telephone poles and nearly
demolished several walls. Its white
stars were torn away by souvenir
hunters.

MIRACULOUS TOUCH IN
VISIT. TO WAR VETS

Paris, July 6.-(%)-There was al
most touch of the miraculous in
the visit Of Commander Byrd and the
crew of the transatlantic plane Amer
ica to the hotel Des Invalides, home
Of Frances war wounded.
For the first time since he was
brought down at Verdun in 1918, Cap
tain Charles Legendre, paralyzed
French aviator. stood straight on his
feet and walked.
"Your courage, despite overwhelm-
in" odds. and your splendid exploits
have given me renewed courage"
Captain Legendre told Commander
Byrd, his emotion plainly visible. II
will accompany you."
Walks TO NapOleOn's Tomb
He arose hesitatingly, groped q
moment for support and then, with
the most obvious effort of will, took
faltering step forward. Another
followed and the war hero, his arm
resting lightly on the shoulder Of
the transatlantic flyer, walked slow
ly but surely toward the entrance of
Napoleon's Tomb.
It was the most moving in
cident Of the whole stay Of
the American aviators here. Tears
glistened in many eyes as the
little party. with Lieutenant Neville,
Bert Acosta and Bernt Balchen how
ering anxiously about the faltering
French ace, visited the tomb and
then returned to the grounds of the
Invalides, where anxious hands, push
ed q wheel chair forward for Legen-
DIRE.
The Americans went to the Inval-
ides at the invitation of the Allies
Brisees-"Broken Wings"-an organ
ization Of war wounded birdmen to
whom Rodman Wan9maker had sent
a warm letter of sympathy in Com
mander Byrd.,s care.
Received by Gen. Mariaux
They were received BY General
Mariaux, one-legged war hero, direc-
tor Of the Invalides, and N. Rafalov-
itch Of the Allies Brisces, who told
them simply but feelingly how happy
their success had made their broken
comrades of the air and how keenly
they appreciated the fact that the
Americans were willing to steal an
hour from the busy, day for men
who were left only husks Of them
selves"
"Even these old walls are happy
to receive you." General Aariaux
concluded. t.
Commander Byrd, speaking for his
party, briefly told General Mariaux
.it was one Of the greatest privileges
Of all to be received by "the aviators
who were hurt for France In the
greatest war Of all time"
The aviators made q thorough in

Geneva, Switzerland, July 6.-fPl
The status of the three-powcr

rs crucial and serious.
Great Britain was mentioned as

whether there would be a definite
break in the deliberations or con-
tinuation toward a treaty on the

Notwithstanding j hint that the
conference might adjourn upon
reaching agreements on the question
of destroyers and submarines, leav-
ing the cruiser problem in allegiance,
it was intimated in American circles
that the American delegation could
see little use in merely settling these
two questions. The United States,
it is argued, was weak in cruisers,
having many antiauated ships, al
though it had strength in submarines
and destroyers. For this reason, 1t
was continued, the United States
would not benefit by an accord on
submarines and destroyers. with the
problem of swift, powerful cruisers
still undecided.
Want Tonnage Limited
The Americans are willing that
the British navy should have as many
