 GO ON TRIAL JULY II

White Plains, N Y, June 20.-Walter S. Ward, wealthy bakers son, probably will go to trial for the murder of Clarence Peters, ex-sailor, on July IT, it was learned from a reliable source late to- day.
 This information, coming close on the heels of conferences held by Isaac N. Mills, former appellate division justice, and the newest accession to Wards leg al talent, gave rise to reports that an agreement had been reached whereby District Attorney Weeks would ask an early trial provided George s. Ward, the slayer's father, would return from his tour of the middle west and give deputy sheriffs a chance to serve on him a grand jury subpoena they have been car rying around for nearly two weeks. This report lacked confirmation, but it was pointed out that MT. Weeks re- cently said he could not complete lis case against Ward until he had heard Ward seniors testimony on the black back of the shooting.
 Justice Morschauser, who recently de nied a motion for an early trial of the
 case asserting he had no intention oi | holding over after June 30, when hi! term at White Plains ends, has con sented, it was learned, to start the tria

MAY CUT RETAIL RATES
 FOR SECOND CLASS MAIL

Washington, June 20.-The administra- tion has under consideration a decrease in second class postal rates, it was said today at the White House. Considerable discussion was given to the subject at today's cabinet meeting and Pdesident Harding and Postmaster .senerll Work are inclined to believe that at least part of the increase in tthe second class rates made during the war should now be removed.
 The postmaster general is understood to have told the president that ne would readily agree to legislation reducing rates on second class mail matter if some method was evolved whereby the post office department would not sustain , def icit. The present rates as applied to the larger shippers, he is said to believe, are entirely too high or the publishers of the country would not De utilizing l private agencies in the transportation Of their products
 Under proposed reduced rates said to have been suggested to the postolfice de- partment by publishing houses which 1 have been suggested to the postoifiee de partment by publishing houses which have repeatedly asked decraases in rates the governments revenues, 1t was de- clared would be decreased by appro4t- | mately $7,000, 900. Such a. reduction would mean saving of about S1o, ,e0o, 900 annually to the publishers, the latter l were said to have estimated, adding, ROW ever, that in the event of reduced rate a much greater volume of business divert I ed from express and railroad com panies would notNonly make ID any defi- l cit sustained by the department but would result in a profit of several mil l lion dollars to the government.
 The postmaster general was said to
 favor increasing the rates o1 parcel post
 matter, at the same time any. possible re- duction in rates on second class matter
 might go into. effect as ;he department
 for months has been of the opinion that l the deficit created annually through the
 operation of the parcel post system should be wiped out.
 The general feeling through tbe
 country as conveyed 10 department heads by postmaster anu directors of great business and mail order houses, it was said, is that the parcel post rates
 might readily be increased without i'm. posing appreciable burden on the mail

Dublin, June 20.-(By the A. P )-The results of the elections are still incom- plete and final figures in some of the important constituencies will not be an- nounced until Wednesday afternoon There has been some hitch at Waterford, which with Tipperary East forms con- stituency of five seats, and two officials of the provisional government have gone there to straighten the matter out
 The De Valera members whose seats in the Dali are endangered include Cathal Brugha (Charles Burgess), former min istre of defense, and Seamus Robinson, one of the leaders of the dissentiant sec tion of the army. Unusual precautions have been taken against any interference in the counting, and a strong body, pre- sumably a regular section of the Irish republican army is guarding the town hall.
 The nature of the hitch is not definitely known, but it is exr acted to cause post ponement of the declaration of the re- suit for possibly 24 hours It is known that pro-treaty candidate headed the poll.
 There is one huge constituency in Cork county returning eight members, witt three new corners contesing the seats oi the four treaty and four anti-treaty members, the former including Nfichae collins, and the latter the well knowr novelist and poet, Daniel Corkery. | The successes of the independents hay. affected both the treaty and anti-treaty panelists, but the anti-treaty candidate! far more severely than the others. Tn, republicans had counted on dropping if teen seats of their existing strength, an. thus far, with twenty-eight seats still un announced, they have dropped eleven
 According to estimates they may drop a least eight more. The new candidate

New York. Juns 2o.-Senator Cagliel- mo Marconi. wonder man of wireless, to- night announced the invsntiOn Of what might he termed radio searchiight. Sy means of which radio waves. which can be reflected like light waves. may be sent in given direction in 5sam. .n- stead of being scattered to all points of the compass.
 The famous Italian said he believed this invention could be utilized in such a manner as to rid the sea Uf soma of its terrors, for with a revolving retec- tor, the tralsmitter would cpnsti.n.s a radio lighthouse, capable of flashing guiding beams nearly a hundred miles.
 Addressing a joint meeting of the h. sDtuts of kadio Engineers and tne Amer lean Institute of Electrical Engineers on his latest discoveries. the inventor said of the proposed radio lighthouse:
 By means of the revolving beam of electrical radiation. it is possible for ships. when within a certain distance to ascertain in thick weather the bear ing and position of the lighthouse.
 ''It seems to me that it should b. possible to design apparatus by means of which a ship could radiate or project a divergent beam of the short wave rayi in any desired direction. which rays. ii coming across a static object. such a. 1 another steamer, would be reflected bacl to a receiver on the sending ship ant thereby immediately reveal the presenc' and bearing of the other ship in fog O thick weather. One further greater ad vantage of such an arrangement wouli be that it would be able to give warnini of the presence and bearing of ships even should these ships be unproyidel with any kind of radio"
 Marconi's radio searchlight bears 1t tie resemblance to the battleship search ; light. It is rather a special arrangemeu . of wires on towers or masts.
 Mareoni stated that the reflector
 make 1t possible for the receiver to re produce a radio telephone song or speee about two hundred times louder than ordinarily possible. What is nor
