PARIS, October 4 —Theye was much ferreting about today to uncover the identity of a former American soldier who was reparted to have shot and wounded two Frenchmen: in ‘duels last month. 3 Officials were skeptical of the story and Paris newspaper reporters have been hunting day and night to uncover the identities of the gl'lndplls in the romantic events, which were said to have occurred over the honor of a woman. Legionnaire Confirms Report. Dr. James Sparks, commander of the American Legion department of Prance, said the story was true, but refused to clear up the mystery. Dr. Sparks, however, said the more seriously wounded of the two French- men now had a chance to recover and it would be unlikely that the American would be charged with murder under the anti-duelling law. Le Journal quoted the war depart- ment as uylx(xg that the story had the appearance of pr anda intended to discredit the mncg:“army. Police Doubt Story. Bonnefoy Sibour, prefect of the de- partment of Seine et Oise, where the duel was reported to have been held, said he in his_territory, while the mayor of Marly-Le-Rot said a gun never went off in his commune without his hearing it. Newspapers have reported that a Frenchman challenged the former American soldier and that the Ameri- can wounded him in a pistol clash at dawn in Marly-Le-Rol forest. One of the first man's seconds charged the American with violating the rules and another duel was fought, in which both participants were wounded. The Amer- ican quickly recovered, but one of the Frenchmen was sald to be still in se- rious condition. All of the principals ‘were said to be socially prominent.

A motion proposing that the Ca- thedral Heights-Cleveland Park group should not take part in this year's Halloween festival planned by the Federation of Citizens’ Associations was adopted. The association gave “present economic conditions” as its reason for refusing to participate. LIEUT. SMITH RELIEVED Transferred From Bolling Field to California Post. Lieut. Clifford Smith, on duty in the office of the quartermaster general in ‘Washington, was ordered today to duty at Rockwell Pleld, Calif.

While a board of inquiry today was completing its report on the crash at Bolling Field yesterday afternoon, the motor and instruments of the plane, an Army O-25 observation plane from Mitchel Field, N. Y., were sent to the Middletown Air Depot for salvaging. ‘The plane itself was virtually de- molished. ‘The crash was the result of a suc- cessful effort on the part of the pilot, Lieut. Gregory F. Keenan, Sth Ob- servation Group, to avoid landing on a group of workmen engaged in grading the new Bolling Pleld area just south of the present field. Lieut. Keenan, with Lieut. S. L, Zellazo as observer, had just taken off when his motor quit at low altitude. He was gliding to a normal landing when through the dust of the grading operating, he saw a gmug of workmen directly ahead. He kicked his rudder to turn aside and was unable to level off before the wing tip dug into the ground, cata- pulting the plane. Both officers were uninjured. It was at first thought at By the Associated Press. UNIONTOWN, Pa., October 4 —The appeal of the Bonus Expeditionary Force, first heard in the shadow of the Capitol at Washington, and again in a mountain retreat near Johnstown, Pa., :’choed today in its national conven- on. Hundreds of veterans. many of them accompanied by their families, are pouring in from scores of States for the announced purpose of renewing their bonus fight, halted when they were dis- banded by their leaders after the Wash- ington disorders. It was estimated by officers of “the army” that between 400 and 600 veter- ans are here for the convention and that “hundreds” will arrive tonight. Jobless Relief Planned. Hoke Smith, national field command- er, said the conventior has been cal glnmnfly for the purpose of formulat- g plans to obtain relief for the unem-- ployed and to form permanent organi- zation. Meanwhile, a lively fight is developing over the election of national officers. National Commander Walter W. Waters sent word from Florida that he will be unable to attend the sessions; that his health i5 impaired. The anti- Waters group immediately began an active campaign. The convention also is to draft a set of resolutions to be sent to Presi- dent Hoover and Congress asking that surplus supplies of bedding and cloth- ing, belonging to the Government, be given to the destitute of the bonus army. Smith said the organization “will support honest men in both major parties” and will oppose any movement for a third party “at this time.” _ Opposes Another March. “We don’t want any one to get the idea that we are a political foot ball or that any politician has his thumb on us—but we do want results and we are going to get them.” Smith asserted that he “will oppose to the last” any movement for another march on Washington. Following a parade through the busi- ness section, the sessions will start to- day and continue through Thursday. — For attempting to steal a cofin a col- ored boy in Glasgow, Scotland, has been sent to a reformatory.
