POSSE SEEKS ALLEGED sLAYERs

Tuckerton. n. j., Jan. "A posse Is
searching for two roughly dressed men
who are suspected of having set fire to
the home of Capt Nicholas Shepherd. in
which Shepherd and his wife were burned
to death yesterday.
Neighbors of the aged couple told the
police that two suspicious-looking char
acters had been seen in the vicinity. The
authorities began work on the theory
that Capt. and Mrs. Shepherd had been
murdered and robbed and that the house
was fired to hide the crime.
Capt. Shepherd possessed a number Of
valuable art objects. and on several oc-
casions the late ]. p. Morgan had made
unsuccessful attempts to buy them.

REPORT CLEARS
WARDEN MOYER
DR.. McKelway Praises Con-
ditions at Atlanta Peni-
tertiary.
HOWARD NOT SATISFIED
Georgia Representative Threatens to
Ask for Congressional In
vestigation.
HOWARD NOT SATISFIED

The report OF DR.. A. j. Mchelway,
special agent of the Department Of JUS
tice, who investigated the charges against
the administration of the Federal prison
at Atlanta gathered by Representative
W. Schley Howard. of Georgia, and sub
mitted to Attorney General McReynoldss
was received by Mr.. McReynolds yes
terday. 1t exonerates Warden Meyer and
his subordinates and concludes with the
declaration that a satisfactory condition
exists at the penitentiary.
As far as the Attorney General is con-
cerned the receipt of the report from DIR.
McKelway ends the situation created by
the submission of the Howard data. No
change in the personnel of the present
administration of the affairs of the prison
will be made. No change will be ordered
Immediately in the management Of the
institution.
Mr.. McKeiway began his investigation
soon after the publication Of the charges
made by Julian Hawthorne. He was in
structed to look into these as well as
other charges and statements that had
been made from time to time with re-
gard to the prison. he WIS in the midst
of this investigation when the Howard
data was submitted to the department.
Summaries of the charges included in
this data were forwarded to him by
AII0Eucy SeucEdl WILL luSSIuCliono
that they be inquired into carefully.
The Attorney General did not think IL
wise to give publicity to the entire re-
port for the reason that many sections
of it contained Information which he
thought should be withheld in the inter-
est of the efficient administration Of the
prison.
should BE Praised.
DIR. McKelway, Mr.. Reynolds said. had
made an extended series of observations
upon the treatment of the prisoners in
the penitentiary. He had examined the
food seryed them; had sought to inform
himself upon whether they are treated
humanely, and whether the guards and
prisoners have been subjected to a sys-
tenn of favoritism as had been charged.
Efforts had been made to ascertain IL
the business affairs of the prison were
administered by thapauthorities conscien-
tiously and honestly.
The investigator finally was convinced
that Warden Meyers administration
should be praised instead of blamed. He
believes the prison is operated in a man.
ner creditable to the government.
As soon as he learned the contents OF
the report, Representative Howard. who
represents the Atlanta district. and who
is convinced that conditions in the great
prison are in sad need OF reform, decided
that he would urge a further investiga-
ton. Mr.. Howard Is not satisfied either
with the investigation or the investiga-
-. He has very clearly defined objec-
tions to DR.. McKelway. and Is armed
with an array of affidavits regarding
prison conditions which he thinks con-
trovert the statements made in Mr.. Nc
Kelway's report. 1t is likely that Mr..
Howard will shortly introduce in the
House Of Representatives a resolution
calling for an investigation OF the prison
by a special committee of Congress.
