LETTERS FROM MRS. BARBER ARE
FOUND IN ROOM OF WOUNDED MAN
Woman, However, Declares She
Doesn't Know Him and Knows
Nothing of Shooting.

MORRISTOWN, N. j., Aug. 6.-The
mystery surrounding the shooting
early today of Peter Bender, insurance
agent, with offices in New York, Chi
cago and Detroit, who was found on
the lawn of Mrs. George BARRIERS es-
tate, The Oak, near here with a bul.
let lodged just below the heart, re-
mained unsolved tonight. The theory
of attempted suicide was upheld on
the ground that a pistol with one
cartridge discharged was found beside
Bender and DIR. Clarence A. Plume
declared Bender had admitted at
tempted suicide when first found.
Bender later refused to discuss the
shooting, and tonight he underwent
an operation at hospital, where ply
sicians said his chances for recovery
weTg slight. In Bender's room at the
McAlpine Hotel, New York. We're found
letters -purporting to be from Mrs.
Barber, although she denied that she
knew him. She declared the first she
had ever heard of him was early to-
day when a servant awakened her to
tell her that a strange man shot him
self on the lawn of her home. She
said the finding Of letters presumably
from her in his suite was very
strange"
Among his effects was also a pass
port bearing vises for many countries.
It was learned from servants at the
Barber home tonight by County De-
tective Brennan that Bender had
called there several times last night,
attempting to gain admittance. Mrs.
Barber, however, refused to see him,
the servants said.
Persons living near the Barber es-
tate said they knew little of Mrs. Bar
ber. It was learned, however, that she
and her husband have been living
apart for five or six months. Mrs.
Barber said her husband died in Ben
nington, Vermont, last Monday. and
that she had sent his body to be cre-
mated.

| WASHINGTON, Aug. 6-In a de-
cision handed down today by the in
terstate commerce commission on the
question of the basis claims by rail-
roads against the government for Ia
Dor costs in operation and maintenance
for the six months guarantee period
following government control, it was
held that only increased wages and
not alleged "inefficiency of labor
factors would determine such claims.
Under the ruling the roads must
stand any loss incidental to alleged
unwillingness or inability of labor to
perform during the guarantee period
of private control as much work as
before the war.
Claims founded upon alleged inef-
amount to "some tens of millions Of
dollars" the decision said.
The controversy centered on the
meaning of the words "costs of labor"
as they Were used in the standard
contracts between the government and
the railroads at the time the roads
were taken over during the war. The
director general of railroads contended
that the contract intended to guar
antee the rates OF pay per unit for
railroad labor, while the carriers
argued that the labor should be com
puted in terms of the accomplishment
of a given result, and hence the words
included in their quality as well as
wages of labor.
The contract language under dispute
follows:
