President Issues PrOclama
ton Terminating State
of War With the Hun
EFFECTIVE JULY 2.
Austria-Hungary Next, After Which
War Laws VIII Cease to be Eff
fectiye

Washington, Nov. 15.-Peace be-
tween the United States and Ger
many formally was proclaimed today
by President Harding.
The President in a proclamation
signed at 1852 p. M, declared the
state Of war between the United
States and Germany, existing from
April 6, 1917. to have terminated in
fact July 2, 1921, when the joint
peace resolution of Congress was ap-
proved by the Executive.
Issuance of the proclamation,
which followed exchange of ratifica,
cations of the Treaty of Berlin, ef-
fected Armistice Day, in the German
capital was considered the first of a
series Of three steps, which, when
completed, will return the United
States to a complete peace status.
The second step probably will be
the PRONUNCIATION of proclamation
declaring war with Austria to have
ended and the third the issuance of
similar proclamation with respect
to Hungary. The proclamation deal
ing with Austria is expected to be
signed by the President and issued
through the State Department with
in a few days, as ratifications Of the
treaty between the United States
and Austria were exchangd at vi
enna last Tuesday. Ratifications be-
tween the United States and Hun
gary are expected to be exchanged
soon and the proclamation issued
soon afterward
Until the third and final step is
taken the purpose of the formal
proclamations will not be achieved.
in the opinion Of officials. The pur-
poses are stated to be to put to an
end without doubt to certain war
laws unaffected by the Congressional
resolutions of repeal approved las:
March 8. Notable among these war
time laws are sections of the Es-
pionage act, the Liberty Bond act
and Trading with the Enemy Act.
Portions of the last-named statute
are preserved, however, through the
treaty.
Disposition of the cases Of Eugene
V. Debs and others convicted of vi
olation of war laws likewise will
await the third and final step. At,
torney-General Daugherty has pre-
pared an opinion for the President
suggesting a method of disposing of
the Debs case and, it is understood,
proposing definite treatment of the
case of others convicted Of similar Of
fenses. This opinion, however, has
not yet been presented to the Pres
ident and Mr.. Daugherty has indica-
ted that there may be last minute
changes before its submission.
The proclamation issued today has
no bearing on the resumption of dip
lomatic relations between the United
States and Germany. State Depart
ment officials asserting that the eX-
change of notifications in itself re-
stored such diplomatic relations. Just
when Germany will resume her old
diplomatic status in Washington is
not known to officials here, but it is
expected that Baron Edmund Their
mann, former counselor of the Ger
man Legation at Budapest, will ar
rive in Washington shortly to ar
range for a technical installation Of a
German Embassy.

Coroner's Jury Makes Probe
of Shooting of Color
ed Man
PISTOL EXHIBITED
Was Shot in Abdomen October % and
Died at Alexandria Hospital Nov
ember TO-.

A coroner's jury summoned by Dr.
7. NJ. Jones which met last night at
Demaine's mortuary chapel to inves-
tigate the death of Elmer Ferris, col
ored, gave verdict to the effect
that he came to his death from the
effects of a gunshot wound inflicted
by Walter Johnson, colored, on Octo-
ber % and died at the Alexandria
Hospital November 10 at $50 p. m.
The jury was composed of John H.
Trimyer, foreman; F. B. Howard, E.
Tanner Mathew, H. B. Richards, c.
H. Brown and H. Melvin Devers.
Ferris is the second man to sue
cumb from bullet wounds alleged to
have been inflicted by Walter John
son. The first was his brother,
Charles Ferris, who died November
4. Both men were shot in the abdo-
men. a brother of the prisoner also
was shot at the same time. His in
juries, however, were not SO serious,
he being shot in the leg.
At the inquest Johnson was pres
ent. The state was represented by
Commonwalth's Attorney Howard w.
Smith and Attorney Charles Henry
Smith appeared for the accused.
Clara Prather, colored, told the
jury she was III the house at the
time and was attracted BY three
shots and came to her door and saw
Johnson running down Pitt street.
Witness, however, did not witness
the shooting.
Policeman Haywood Durrer told
the jury a short time after the
shooting he saw the the men shot
and they told him they were shot by
Walter Johnson. According to Dr..
Llewellyn Powells death undoubted-
ly was due to gunshot wound OF the
abdomen.
Rose Jackson, colored identified
the prisoner as the man who did the
shooting. Prior to the shooting she
heard a woman cry, Don't shoot"
James Clark testified that when
he saw the shooting he ran into the
silk mill on the west side of Pitt be-
tween Wilkes and Gibbon streets,
and telephoned the police. Witness
testified he saw Walter Johnson
shoot at man, and he added the
man was throwing rocks.
y. O. Fitzgerald said he heard two
shots and he saw the prisoner fire
two or three times.
The pistol with which the shoot
ing is alleged to have been done was
exhibited to the jury by Chief of Po-
lice Goods. It was taken off Johnson
the chief said by Policeman Bell
after Johnson was searched at police
headMquarters and was loaded. The
men who were shot he said told him
that Johnson did the shooting. Ac-
cording to Chief Goods Johnson stole
the pistol from a colored man the
dav before the shooting and also
stole fountain pen and a small
amount of cash.
Policeman Magner testified that
one of the Ferris brothers immedi-
ately after the shooting told him
that all three were shot by Walter
Johnson.
Policeman Lawrence Padgett teS-
tilted that he and Policeman Carlton
a. Padpett arrested Walter Johnson
at the south end of Hunting Creek
bridge. At fist the prisoner denied
the shooting he said but on his re-
turn to police headquarters admit
tod it.
