WIFE REMAINS LOYAL

NEW ROCHtILE, y. H., MAY 20.
A wife's loyalty and staunch sup
port is backing UP Walter s. Ward, a
young millionaire baker. confessed
slayer of man he says was one OF
a gang mercilessly bleeding him or
money in blackmail plot.
Wards torture of two months, dur
Ing which he says sums, ranging
from $1,000 to $4,000 were extorted
from him, ended only temporarily
when he revolted under the demand
OF three of the gang for $4,000, and
shot and killed Clarence Peters, ex-
marine. on lonely road near this
New York suburb.
New torture began then, when IN
his beautiful home in New Rochelle
he confessed the details of the black
mail plot to his pretty young wife.
What was the secret he told her?
What was the hidden thing that
led him into paying as much as
$50. 900 in installments to prevent ex-
posure2
Mrs. Beryl Curtis Ward knows.
But she only smiles cheerfully and
says confidently: Everything Will
come out all right"
Officials are helping the young
couple keep their secret. They say
Ward frankly reclted TO MS VINE ai
ter the tragedy all the details that
led up to the revolt that ended in
Peters death.
She encouraged him, it is said, to
place trust in the authorities as he
had done in her. Courageously, she
backs him up in his claim that he
killed Peters in self-defense.
Mrs. Ward is small and slender
with dark brown hair and gray eyes,
an attractive picture in white sport
skirt and red sweater the day Ward
gave himself UP to the sheriff oi
Westchester county.
Sheriff Werner said positively that
no woman figured in the blackma1l-
ing. Wards counsel. answering the
report that the young millionaire had
been subjected to some form OF rae
ing blackmail said it was some
thing of that kind

The pre-war standard of wages

tional Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen and Enginemen had little 10
say tonight when informed of the ac-
ton of the labor board. Action on
the part of the board was not unex-
pected, he said. but he was surprised
to learn that the board had acted on
the wages of the maintenance or way

of employees had been heard previ-
ously and that action on these classes
was expected before decision on
maintenance of way wages.
He indicated that the convention OF
the brotherhood might voice its opin-
ion some time this week regarding
the boards decision.

Four directors were reelected and are as follows: Edwin H. Hills, A. H. Condell, John H. Trumbull and J. R. Minor.
 The members of the commerce chamber voted to continue the stand ing committee and in addition to those, voted for a mercantile division. This division is new branch in the local chamber. The members act with the merchants of the town in various problems.
 President Mckernan will name a chairman for this division at the next meeting and three members of the board will then be elected

 Daylight Saving
 Some discussion was held on the daylight saving project. The general opinion among the members was for a recommendation of the plan provid- ing the surrounding cities and towns adopt it. As it is, New Britain will go on that plan April 30, and Hart ford has prepared for a similar adoption. Bristol will also go on daylight saving, but 1t is believed Southington is against it. In that town, the general sentiment seems to be against the rule, especially among
 
 the regular schedule despite the fact that the town was on the new sched- ule. The majority of the manufac- turers in Southington favor the plan but will let the employees make a de- cision on the matter
 Plainville last year did not adopt the Daylight plan, although the trains came an hour earlier than their reg ular schedule. A slight mXup result ed from this movement, especially on the mail shipments. The manufactur- CTS and storekeepers are not partic- ular as to which plan is carried out as long as it conforms with the other cities.
 Undoubtedly Plainville will follow suit with New Britain and revise it's hours on April 30.

 Major F. l..

Residents in Kensington feel that the Berlin people should start action on the water problem inasmuch as Kensington has voted to have water. If Berlin also decides a larger water main will be lad from Towers corner in New Britain to Jacobs corner in Berlin.
