STEAMER SUSPECT
IS NOT WOODWARD
BY ANGUS PERKERsoN
(Staff Correspondent of The Journa1)

NEW YORK, July 25-J. H. OIL
ney is aboard the freight steamer
Laurel, due to arrive here August .
from Rio de Janeiro-not BuenoS
Ayres-but he is boy only eighteen
or nineteen years old and cannot be
Floyd Woodward, who is under in
dictment in Atlanta for murder and
for leadership in the bunco ring
which f1eeced thousands of dollars
from victims there.
The Munson line, which operates
the Laurel, has received this informa-
ton from a man de claring himself to
be Ohlney's grandfather. The man
called at the South American de-
partment of the line and asked for
pass to meet the Laurel when it
docks here. He wants to be on the
pier when the ship arrives, he said,
to protect Ohlney from the embar-
rassment of arrest.
81 can prove in two seconds time"
he asserted, that Ohlney and Wood
ward are not the same person. OIL
ney's age is proof enough. In adal-
ton, L have papers to establish his
IDENTIFY
This man said that Ohlney shipped
on the Laurel at Mobile or Pensa-
cola, and it is known that the boat
touched at both points since it sailed
from here last September for South
America.
The man was told to return next
no
to him. He told the steamship Off
Gals that his name is Ohlney, but
gave them neither his initials nor
his address. At the time Of his visit
to the steamship office he had with
him newspaper clippings from At
lanta in whioh the theory was ad-
vanced that Ohlney and Woodward
are one and the same person.
The head steward of the Munson
line told me today when L saw him
at Pier 10 OH the East river, that
the name Oilney is familiar to him,
and that he believes Ohlney is aboard
the Laurel as second steward. His
records, however, do not show OIL
ney's name. Neither do those of any
other department of the line. Ii
Ohlney is on the Laurel, he shipped
from some gulf port or from some
point in South America.
The Laurel, SOVernment-OWned
vessel, though allocated to the Mum
son line, sailed from here last Sep
TENDER for South America and has
not touched at this port since then.
During that time it has been engaged
as a freighter running between South
American and gulf ports.
On July II, last, the Laurel sailed
from Rio de Janeiro for New York,
and owing to the fact that it is an
extremely slow vessel, is not due to
arrive here until August 5, nearly a
month from the date of it's sailing.
1t is expected to touch at st. Thomas
on July %. A cable will be sent to
the New York office of the line when
the vessel reaches ST. Thomas, and
it will then be possible to tell wheth-
err the boat will reach here on
scheduled time.

HOPE STILL BRIGHT
FOR IRISH PEACE

LONDON, July 25.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press. 1.-The feeling both in
London and Dublin over the prospects
of peace in Ireland remains optimis-
tic. Eamonn De Valera, the Irish re-
publican leader, have discussed the
British terms with Arthur Griffith
and others, at the Mansion house in
Dublin, but no formal conference was
held, and Mr.. De Valera Informed in
quirers that it was most unlikely
any developments would take place
in the immediate future.
There probably will be further con-
situations among the Sim Fein min
listers, after which a meeting of the
dali eireann will be CALLED. No date
for this meeting has been fixed, and
it is presumed that notifications of
the terms will be sought before the
republican parliament takes up the
matter officially.
General SHUTS, the South African
premier, it is understood, will go to
Ireland early this week for the pur-
pose of conciliating, if possible, the
opposing factions of the north and
the south. He will place his services
at the disposal of both Mr.. De Va
lera and Sir James Craig, the Ulster
premier, and it is probable that he
will have considerable latitude in the
task before him.
The opinion in London is that the
British terms are not likely to be ac-
cepted as they stand, but Mr.. De Va
lera is almost certain to come to
London again, with more of his col
leagues, and the Ulster premier has
already declared that he would be
available at any time he was really
needed.
