PAUL ‘Status of Geneva Conference Regarding Cruisers Is Crucial - GAUSE BREAK - United States Willing to Go to Maximum Limit of 400,000 Tons JAPAN SUPPORTS STAND Tension Increased By Re- mark of First Lord of British Admiralty Geneva, Switzerland, July 6.— (AP)—The British, American and Japanese plenipotentiaries at the tripartite naval conference met privately thin evening in an en- deavor to solve the crisis at the conference. Geneva, Switzerland, July 6.—(P) —The status of the three-power naval limitation conference as re- gards cruisers was described today as crucial and serious. Great Britain was mentioned as the country on which depended whether there would be a definite break in the deliberations or a con- tinu: n toward a treaty on the strength of auxiliary warcraft, the objective of the conference. 4 Dollerine the apbien f the Tat st Btates in makiig Jf know: ¢HAE SB@ Wow 40 ww & MRAwwuil rer 400,000 tons for cr , or 100,000 tons more than she intended when she came to the conference, the que: tion was raised whether Great Britain would recede from her of- 1 demand for something slightly undes 600.000 tons. The American spokesman had i i country would continue to m forts to have the cruiser limitation figure set at well under 400,000 tons. Tension Increased W. C. Bridgeman, first tord of the British admiralty, called a press conference at short-notice yesterday and concluded it with the remark “If other people are “going to build ones we naturally cannot build small ones.” .This remark increased the tension. ; Notwithstandi! a hint that the conference might adjourn upon -reaching agreements on the question of destroyers and submarines, leav- ing the cruiser problem in abeyance, |. 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 antiquated ships, al- though it had strength in submarines and destroyers. For reason, it 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 as 75 cruisers, but are anxious that the combined tonnage of these ves- sels should not exceed 400,000 tons, at the extreme. Great Britain now has 71, including a building program y of nine. In their anxiety to keep the total cru tonnage at a low figure, the Americans seemingly have the sup- port of Japan.

A. Gibbons, personal representatives of Rodman Wana- muker, who sponsored the America’s flight ‘across the Atlantic. The visit of Commander Byrd and his three flight companions to the \premier was a 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 Congratuiated The premier chatted pleasantly for a few minutes’ with the airmen, con- | gratulating them on their courage; fund endurance and the great scien- ‘tific success of their exploit. Then he pinned the legion of honor cross on Commander Byrd’s breast and gave thenr the traditional embrace. The commander thanked him sim- rly and expressed in behalf of his comrades and himself deep apprec:a- tion 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, especialiy the last few hours of the early morning battle | with the fog.

Dead many hours, the partly clad body of Mrs. Teddy Du Bois was found beside a bed, while ne: lay the fully clothed body of Miss Anne Grenville. Both had been jshot | through the head. Police detained for questioning Charles M. Hutchinson who, with a taxi driver, discovered the bodies when they went to the house early today. Hutchinson said he knew hotnsng that could aid in solving the crime, Once Operated Hotel Mrs. Du Bois, who wi about 27 years old, formerly ran one of the smaller downtown hotels, and Miss Grenville, apparently nearly 30 years old, was’ the daughter of a labor organizer, George Grenville, now believed to be in Harvey, Ill. While police alluded to “gang war- fare” as a possible element in the crime, they offered nothing tangible in stport of this theory and. ad- y itted they had nothing definite on which to hang a motive. In searching the women's res ence, the police; found a gallon can of alcohol under a bed and a partly filled quart bottle. A small quan- tity of “near beer” also was found. Tells of Finding Bodies Beck, the taxi driver with son, 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 a 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 a single garment when found and ap- parently had been in the bed bes: which her body lay. Miss Grenvil 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 a_ 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 und 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.
