DEAD MANS COAT
SHOWS NO SIGN Of
BULLET, SHIRT DOES
Inquest Over Man Ward Saws
He Killed Postponed for
Investigation.

White Plains. y. Y. May 24.-Cor-
oner Edward Fitzgerald has postponed
the inquest into the killing of Clarence
Peters, described by Walter s. Ward.
millionaire baking company official. as
one of a Matchmaking trio. Ward char
acterized Peters as a blackmailer in his
confession of shooting the former sailor
near kensico reservoir a week ago.
The inquest has been put off until
the coroner's investigators can clear I'D
several points in the Ward confession
which Mr.. Fitzgerald, in the light Of
late developments, regards far from
satisfactory.
The police have been told by C. W.
Eckhardt, owner of an estate border
ing Kings Road, where Peters body
was discovered by William Griggs and
Richard Short. that no bullet wound
was found until they had opened the
coat and vest, which were part of the
clothing. Griggs and Short also told
the police that only the shirt and un-
dershirt showed evidence that n bullet
had pierced them.
The men also declared that traces of
only one car were found at the spot.
and Short. who lives near, declared
that he heard only a single automobile
rush north along the road about four
o'clock that morning, the time set bv
Ward for the affray with the black
mailers.
Another contradiction which officials
insisted must be cleared up is the fail
ure to find other than one empty she'll
near the body, although Ward declares
that nine shots we're fired between the
time he shot Peters and exchanged
shots with the two other men, Ross"
and Jack who fled.

Referring to Mr.. D~augherty as "the
titular attorney general" Senator Car
away said that MIR. Daugherty's state
ment was mot candid and that he
used that term to be polite and not
to state what he really meant. The
Taft and Wickersham letters, Senator
Caraway said, did not show Mr.. Daugh-
erty's connections with the Morse case,
as stated by Mr.. Daugherty, because,
the Arkansas senator declared, they
did not show that Mr.. Daugherty and
MIR. Fielder had a contract calling for
$4,000 to secure Morse's' release.
They did not show that Morse was
given some kind of a chemical to make

Morse that he (Morse) must submit to
whatever they suggested in handling
In his first direct reply to the
charges made by Senator Caraway and
others, Attorney General Daugherty
said, in part:
The correspondence of ex-President

Transportation charges have
mounted to the point where they are
impeding the free flow of commerce.
said the commissions decision, and are
thus tending to defeat the purpose for
which they were established, producing
revenue which would enable the car
riers to provide the people of the
United States with adequate transpor-
tation.
Commissioner Potter, in a separate
opinion %concurring with the majority.
declared that the fixing of "the per-
centages mentioned = = is in effect
a requirement that present rates and
charges shall, generally speaking. be
reduced 10 per cent-certain reduc-
heretofore made to be treated as
part of such 10 per cent reduction"
Summarize Evidence
The majority opinion reviewed the
recent history of rate regulations and
set forth summaries of arguments
made by shippers in favor of reduc-
and of carriers against reduc-
lions. 1t expressed the conclusion that
Assumption that railroad rates can
Or should be stabilized on the present
high basis is futile
The majority further said that "un-
Ill the public is convinced that there
IS little likelihood of immediate further
material reductions in prices or trans
oortation charges, confidence neces-
to normal business will to that ex-
.ent be impaired"
Desire Equal Reductions
Explaining the reason for adopting a
horizontal method of reducing rates,
he commission said that while altera-
ions in price levels had u~nequally af-
'ected different commodities. "the
leeds of commerce cannot be met if
are to fluctuate with market
prices of commodities" Its conclu-
non was that reduction should be
made generally upon all commodities in
equal ratio"
The rate cut averaged approximately
IN actual 10 per cent decrease in rates.
)nly two members of the board. Com
Lewis and Cox. dissented.
that the adjustments should
been made in commodity rates
ather than on a horizontal basis.
