2 SCHOOL AID
BILLS STUDIED
Measures to Be Presented
at Next Legislature.

Two bills elnbodying all recon-
mendations brought out by the state
school aid commission, will be in
troduced in the next legislature to
equalize educational opportunities
Arthur H Sapp, Huntington, chair
man of the commission, revealed at
the meeting in the statehouse to-
day.
One proposal, originated by S. L.
WINNER, Greencastle, would fix a
levy of $3.50 for schools in all coun-
ties, requiring the state to pay the
difference between the revenue de-
rived thereby, and cost of proper
school maintenance.
The second plan, originated by j
w. Jones, Terre Haute, would pro-
vide distribution Of state aid on
the basis of teaching units, with a
minimum amount to be increased
eventually to $1,000 per unit. Rev.
enue would be obtained by county
and state levies, increasing state
levies and decreasing county levies
Estimated revenue required in this
plan is $21,O00OO0 annually.
Both plans provide for establish
nent of a state relief board to
check accounts and authorize pay
ments to school units.

This lesson in the rights of po-

today by patrolmen after being
expounded Tuesday by Municipal
Judge Paul c. Wetter when he
convicted Floyd Eller, Al, of 104

charge.
During the present probe of
police and their relation to the
liquor traffic, officers have stated
from time to time that city courts
hindered booze raids by freeing
persons arrested without a search
warrant.
Judge Wetter reiterated the
opinion of other municipal court
juristS in his decision by telling
police: "If you have reason to
believe on reliable information
that a felony has been committed
in a home or place Of business
you have a right to enter without
a search warrant"

RAIL LEADERS
KILLINGS BARE
YEARS OF HATE
Vice President Wounds Self
Fatally After Ending
Chiefs Life.
BY LYLE c. WILSON
United Press stan Correspondent

BALTIMORE, Sept. "a. - The
story Of hatred and jealous rivalry
which embittered the lives Of Dud-
icy g. Gray and Maxwell c. Byers,
wealthy railroad executives, IN
folded today before investigators
seeking hidden details Of the muir
der-suicide tragedy.
Police files contained sordid
record of the scene that took place
in the presidents chamber Of the
Western Maryland railroad Offices
Tuesday. when President Byers was
shot eight times and killed by
GRAY. the first vice president, who
took his own life.
Coroner Otto Reinhart announced
today his investigation had dis
closed that Gray had killed Byers
because of constant nagging' about
business matters.
But it was in the tWenty-seven-
year background Of the feud, as re-
Vealed by relatives of close associ-
ates OF the men, that the real drama
OF the double shooting lay.
Opposed on Roads Policy
Those who worked with them
knew Byers and Gray were enemies.
They seldom spoke, except in nee
sessary business contacts, and then
tacitly. They were known to be
opposed on matters Of policy. AS
sociates long had wondered what
the outcome of their smoldering hos
tility would be.
Gray was 81 and had been with
the road since 1913. Byers was ten
years his Junior and had gone over
to the Western Maryland from the
Great Northern at about the same
time.
Gray, ultimately, became traffic
-vice-president of the Western Mary
land. Byers, who had been assist
ant to the president, had made such
a favorable record he was chosen
for the presidency. 1t was then
that Gray's hostility toward the
younger executive, although well
subdued, first began to show.
Differed on Merger Move
Some time ago there was a pro-
posal to amalgamate the Western
Maryland with one of the trunk
lines. Gray and Byers differed on
the matter, and neither showed any
sign of being able to convince the
other he was wrong.
This controversy was the last
known by associates to have arisen
between the men. Gray, apparent
-ly. did not mean to back down.
Gray went to Byers' office Tues
day, and after a short, but bitter,
argument, fired eight bullets into
Byers' body. He shot himself twice
and died later in the afternoon at
Mercy hospital.
Byers died on the scene of the
Shooting, almost instantly.
Byers, besides his widow. leaves
five children, ranging in age from
80 to 8. Gray is survived only by
his widow.
