of an elaborate attempt to trace the
birds TO their owner.

At the direction Of the police he pre-
pared q note In which he explained to
the blackmailers that he had been re-
luctant to entrust so much money TO
such uncertain means Of transportation.
He suggested that an, appointment be
made So that the money might be turn
ed over personally.
After the pigeons had been fattened
to slow their speed they were taken 10
the roof of q midtown building and re-
leased, with one of the birds carrying

BY the Associated FTeSS'
LONDON, April 4.-vigorous replies
were forthcoming yesterday to declara-
lions in the conference Of the National
Union of Schoolmasters that teaching
by women in boys schools was bad
policy.
Mrs. Leah Manning, vice president Of
the National Union of Teachers, which
includes both sexes, declared that the
16-year- old boys in the open-air school
at Cambridge, of which she is head
mistress, play good game Of foot ball,
although the whole staff is feminine.
She said she did not believe In foot
bali for women, but woman teachers all
over the country Can and do teach
boys how to play the game"
Miss ESSie Ruth Conway OF Liverpool,
former president of the National Union
of Teachers, firmly believes that the
management of boys and girls is In no
degree a matter of sex. She quoted the
case OF boy foot ball players from
mixed cshool," controlled by women,
who won the school league champion
ship twice consecutively.
These statements had more direct re-
lation to the schoolfnasters' charges
that supervision of boys games was
Job for men only.
Frank Goldstone. Labor member of
Parliament, condemned the criticism of
woman teachers rs merely foolish
propaganda"

MYSTERY DEATH
| PUZZLES POLICE
Chicago Authorities Discount
Theory of Maids Suicide
After Attack on Mistress.
syEtb. Associated Press.

Blythe Associated Press
CHICAGO, April 4--What at first
appeared to be an attempted murder
followed by suicide had turned today
into a mystery in which third person
may have played murderer's part.
Two aged wonen-a wealthy widow
and her maid-were. found in the for
mer's apartment yesterday. The maid,
Mrs. Ida Peterson, was dead, q preao
knife plunged in her neck; her mistress,
Mrs. Helen KelSo, 20, was near death
from hammer blows.
The first theory of police was that
the maid, 81, had beaten Mrs. Kelso over
the head with q hammer and then had
taken her own life. Mrs. Peterson, who
had been a maid for Mrs. Kelso for ~
years, at one time was an inmate OF the
State Hospital for the Insane and SUI
fered from what her physician called
"recurrent maniac depression" The
physician. DR.. James Gill, said nc had
not seen the maid for some time, but he
thought her condition had improved.
Suicide Theory Doubted.
Circumstances tending to contradict
the uiurder-suicide theory were found
by investigators for the ,coroner's once.
Physicians expressed doubt that the
maid would have had sufficient strength
to have plunged the knife into her neck
with such force as to break OF part OF
the blade. They also adduced from the
blood that flowed. from both that Mrs
Kelso may have been attacked after the
maid had been slain.
The maids body was found on bed
in her own room. "A blood-covered ham
mer lay on the floor nearby. Mrs.
Kelso, fully clothed, was found on the
floor of her bedroom. Her skull was
fractured and she was unconscious. She
had not regaiiaed consciousness early
today and there were only slight hopes
for her recovery
Neighbors Become Alarmed.
Mrs. Kelso's husband was Charles g..
/. Kelso, wealthy manufacturer OF
Belleville, Ontario.
The attacks apparently took place
some time Tuesday, but were not dis
covered until neighbors, alarmed at the
continued silence, notified police, who
forced an entrance.

Y atoning for his poor Ken

The thrusting Of the sol of Black

what heretofore appeared to be an
Eastern-controlled race. Blue Larkspur
clearly demonstrated his liking for a dry

two-fifths of a second off the track rec

close his eyes and hope for the best,
topping off his remarks with the asser-
ton that he would bench even Ruth if
the e~xigencies of the situation seemed

First Shake-Up for Bob.
The Yankee shake-up was the great
est since the seventh-place year of 1925.
1t included Bob Meusel for the first
time since the big Californian Joined
the club in 1920.
The desire of Mr.. Higgins to get a
new deal for the Yankees no doubt
was inspired in part by the pranks the
Athletics have been playing. Fighting
fire with fire in a sort of curtain-raiser
to general outbreak Of intersectional
strife scheduled today, the American
League leaders matched hard knocks
with the Tigers at Shibe Park yester-
day. Due to a ninth-inning ambush CT
Eddie Rommel, who nevertheless
escaped with his life, the Bengals out
shone the Macks on safe hits by Is to
IA, but Mr.. McGillicuddy marched
serenely from the premises with the
decision in runs, 9 to 6.
This victory stretched the Athletic
lead to five games over the Browns and
to eight over the Yankees. Jimmy Foxx
again won the hitting halo with his
ninth home run, a triple and a single.
