tive theory of murder and suicide, after
discarding the initial explanation that
the two had locked themselves in the
room and engaged in gun battle.
On the floor were found both men,
Byers dead from a bullet wound through
the heart and Gray unconscious from
one bullet wound in the back and one
in the chest. Two other superficial
wounds were on Byers' body. Death APP
parently was instantaneous from the
heart wound.

On the floor beside Gray was an au-
tomato pistol with five exploded shells.
A clerk was taken to hospital SUI
fering from severe cuts received when
he broke the glass of door to gain en-
trance to the executive office. Sight Of
him with blood streaming from his arm
at first led to the report that a third
man had been involved in the shooting.
This theory was diSpelled with the
arrival of Patrolman Arthur H. Block,
who forced one door and found others
into the office locked.
Detectives said they learned the two
had been at odds over litigation in
which the company was engaged.
Gray was rushed to q hospital and

In this respect, having regard to the

Americans Are Quoted.
"Let us remember that the Kellogg
pact is collective treaty, which means
that any violation of any undertaking
under 1t Is violation of the right OF
all signatory states. II we remember
that, I think it is not conceivable that
any signatory of that pact should fail

Hunter Miller of New York, have writ

give any aid to the violater, or moral

Nov, If ever these sanctions have
to be enforced, the Kellogg pact has
great Importance. But we must dis
tinguish between the old covenant of
the League, where friendly assistance
is asked for, and the situation under
the Kellogg pact. In the latter case.
