MAKE SEARCH
FOR WOMAN. IN
CASE OF WARD
Waiter Says He was Offered
$500 to Commit Murder
In Ward Home

White Plains, N. Y, May %
Search was made today for a woman
said to have offered $500 to youth
in a New York restaurant to commit
murder in the New Rochelle home OF
Walter J. Ward, who admits he killed
Clarence Peters because of blackmail
but keeps the nature of the black
mail a secret. The check-up by the
police bears out the story told by a
waiter that a young woman In black
had taken him to New Rochelle and
promised him $500 If he would enter
the house and shoot the person she
pointed out to him. He went with his
story to the police who watched the
woman but she failed to appear.
The county authorities said they
were investigating an anonymous tel
ephone message to the effect that
Ward with Peters and a sailor from
the battleship Utah had attended a
party "for men" in a Boston hotel
three months ago.

NORTON QUITS
SENATOR RACE
TO CLEAR WAY
Says He Is Convinced His Can
didacy Would Injure the
NestOs State Ticket

Former Congressman p. D. Nor
ton, Of Mandan, today announced his
withdrawal from the race for the Re.
publican nomination for United States
Senator.
In so doing Mr.. Norton issued a
statement in which he took rap at
Ormsby McHarg. of jamestown, who
entered the race, by saying that he
withdrew because of the danger
caused the state ticket by interven-
tion in the Frazier McCumber fight.
Mr.. Norton's statement follows:
cit is only after the most careful
consideration Of the very much mud
died political condition that exists in
our state that have concluded not to
file my petitions for the Republican
nomination for the United States Sen
ate as many of my loyal friends
throughout the state wish me to do. In
number of political consultations
have had the past few days it has been
made very plain that my candidacy
for the Senate at this time would
make increasingly difficult the nomi-
nation Of Governor Nestos and the
other candidates for state and Con-
gressional offices indorsed by the Re-
publican convention held at James
town. still am of the opinion that a
serious violation If the principles of
honesty and straightforwardness to-
wards the people was made in not in
dorsing Republican candidate for the
United States Senate at the James
town convention. Those who were
most responsible for that evasion are
now not proud of it.
Wants to Clear Situation
However, now more than any other
thing want to see our state returned
this year to sane, sound and honest
condition politically and economically
This, l believe will be best accomplish
ed by the nomination and election Of
the state and congressional candidates
indorsed by the Republican convention
held at Jamestown.
"Already too much personal selfish
ness and flouting disregard Of the
reople's wishes predominant the ac.
tons of many Of those who have beer
given the place Of leadership in. public
life in our state. do not propose by
any act of mine in this campaign tc

BIG SAVING. TO
STATE RESULTS
IN RATE CUTS
Estimated That Shippers Bills
In North Dakota Will be Cut
100000 to $1,O0O,OOO
GRAINS ARE EXCEPTED

Saving to North Dakota shippers
on freight rates as a result of the
order of the Interstate Commerce
Commission will be greater than was
anticipated, according to V. E. Smart,
traffic expert Of the railroad COM
mission, following receipt and study
of the official, detailed order Of the
commission. Mr.. Smart estimates the
reduction in freight rates will amount
annually to between $8OO,OOO and ST..
100000 on North Dakota business, de-
pending upon the volume.
The report of railroads filed with
the commission indicate that there
must be marked increase in the traf.
fic in North Dakota during the nextt
year, if the railroads are to make a
reasonable return upon their invest
ment.
Operating reports submitted to the
railroad commission for a period o.
three months show an operating ratio
for the C. NJ. and St. P. road Of 90.6,
for the Great Northern, 1914, 500
lines of 971, and the Northern Pacific,
90.1, meaning that out of every dollar
in revenues the St. Paul road pays
80 1-2 cents in operating expenses and
the other roads the amounts listed
The remainder is for taxes, interest
on bonds and dividends. Before the
war the operating ratios ranged from
IS to 80. The decrease in rates on the
present volume of business would vir-
tually wipe out the margin revenues
over operating expenses, according
to these figures. The Interstate Com
merce Commissions decision was bas-
cd on the belief that lower rates and
general business betterment would
bring greater revenues.
There is no decrease in rates upon
wheat, hay and other grains on which
reductions had previously been made,
and which constitute 60 percent Of the
North Dakota railroad business. There
are, however, reductions CT import
ance on railroad business which will
effect great savings to shippers. These
reductions are figured by Mr.. Smart
as follows:
Ignite coal, 16 nercent; flaxseed
16 percent; on all intrastate traffic
II 1-2 percent; on class and conlmo.
dity rates in interstate traffic. Ia IL
percent; on livestock where the rats
exceeds SO cents per hundredwelght,
percent; sand, gravel and scoria, II
percent.
The livestock rate is less because
reductions had previously been made
according to Mr.. Smart. There is nc
reduction on potatoes because there
had been a 10 percent reduction, the
order providing that if there had beer
a 10 percent reduction on anv com
modify since Aug. 2G, 1920, the new
order would not apply.
The reduction made by the Inter
state Commerce Commission. accord
ing to Mr.. Smart, who worked will
representatives of other commission!
in the recent rate hearings, is drastic
and more than many Of those asking
reductions expected.

IDLE AUTO is
NOT TAX FREE, IS
BUREAU RULING

Payment of the motor vehicle regis.
tration fee cannot be avoided by not
operating the automobile, according
to E. P. Grain, director of the Motor
Vehicle registration. The law makes
the registration fee tax on all mo-
tor vehicles, he says, which must be
made whether or not the vehicle is
operated. One resident of the north
western part of the state who sought
to register a secondhand car was
required to pay the registration fee
for three years, he said. -
Receipts of the bureau of May 49,
this year, amounted to $478,710.25,
which is somewhat less than the fig
urc on that date last year, which was
$511,784.6O. The number of cars reg:
istered on May 27 was 1858, Of
which 43,660 were Of we'll known

MAINTENANCE
WORKERS PAY
CUT BY ORDER
Railroad Labor Board Issues Or
der, With Three Labor Mem
bers Dissenting
OTHER CASES PENDING
Action of Board Expected to Be
Taken on Shopmen and
Telegraphers Soon
/ STRIKE RESULT


Detroit, Mich.;Alay 20 (By the
A. P.)- Belief that strike vote
would be ordered by the executive
council of the United Brotherhood
of Maintenance of Way employ
es and railway shop labOrers was
expressed today by E. F. Garbe,
grand president of the organiza-
ton, al; the council went into ses-
sion to consider the wage reduc-
tion ordered yesterday by the
United States railroad labor
board.
Chicago, May 20 (By the A. P.)-
Maintenance of way employees Of the
nations railroads faced $48,OO0,00
wage reduction July l as result OF
last nights order by the railroad la.
Dor board. The order affects 100000
men. H."
This order, the $4OO,OOO,OOO slash
of last July and pending orders af-
fecting other classes if they carry
the same ratio of reduction, will place
railroad labor back where it was be-
fore the $600,000,0OO increase of May
1920.
Pending decisions governing the
wages of 100000 railway shopmen
100000 clerks, telegraphers, station
employees and other classes were ex-
pected to follow closely upon last
nights order which cut the pay of
maintenance of way workers from !
to 5 cents an hour. d
With their settlement over working
rules still pending the Big Four Bro
therhoods and the Switchmen are not
now yet involved in any wage dispute
before the board. These classes re-
ceived IL percent reduction last
July, however.
Unions Consider
Immediate consideration of last
nights order by the executive council
of the United Brotherhood of Main
tenance of Way employees was in
prospect today.
Brotherhood officials characterized
the cut as "indefensible," asserting
the case presented to the board did
not warrant the slash.
The three labor members of the
board returned a dissenting opinion,
the order being signed by the three
members representing the public and
the three railroad members.
Money saved by the wage reduc-
tion will be expended in much needed
maintenance work, according to the
reports of the roads to the board.
Starting Of this neglected work will
offer employment to 100000 addition
al men, it was said.
The Cuts Made
Wages of maintenance of way en-
ployes now Ranging from % to 40
cents an hour will after July 1 range
from % to IS cents an hour. Common
labor suffered the greater cut. This
class numbers about $4,000 employees
who favor a reduction of cents an
hour along with $4,000 men who work
around round houses, shops and yards
Section, track and maintenance fore
men will take cent reduction while
mechanics not under . the shop craft
agreement were cut cents and me-
. ehanics' helpers l. cent?
