Ward Mystery Factor in Revolt
Against Boss of Westchester

lnsurgent Republican leaders in
Westchester County announced their
intention yesterday of opposing the
ticket put up at the primary election
by William L. Ward, Republican boss
of the county, all along the line. They
are going to fight the Ward machine,
they said, on three issues-the manner
in which the case of Walter S. Ward,
indicted for the killing of Clarence
Peters, was handled; the William L.
Ward plan to make Westchester Coun-
ty into city and "an Embossed judi
ciary."
s. The families of William l.. Ward and
Walter S. Ward are not related, but the
independent Republicans think that the
organization District Attorney, Freder-
ick f. Weeks, who is candidate for
denomination, botched the case.
Their candidate for the office is j.
Henry Esscr, of Mount Vernon. where
he formerly was Corporation Counsel.
According to leaders of the opposition,
Mr.. Weeks, who is Mayor of White
Plains, is thinking of withdrawing
from the District Attorney contest.
Candidates for the County Court
bench and that of the Children's Court
are being sought by the independents.
The machine Republicans have been
criticized by Supreme Court Justice
Arthur S. Tompkins for naming WON

mitted to the bar, for the Children's s

Mrs. Maria Ivarone, said to have
been stolen by blackmailers June %
with her three-year- old son, Tony, and
$4,000 belonging to her husband, Sal
vatore, is back in New York, the police
announced last night, and three men
are under arrest in connection with
the alleged abduction plot.
One of the three, Vincenzo Damiani,
of 14S Tenth Avenue, was arrested last
week and it is believed that the arres st
of the other two and the return Of
Mrs. lvarone are due to information
obtained from him. The other prison
ers are John Contadin and Tony
Mancini
They were arrested in Utica, N. Y,
and detectives of the Italian squad
have been sent to bring them to this
city. Damiani told the police, it is
said, that only about $4,000 of the
stolen money and securities had been
spent and that it would be possible
to recover the rest.

81 Oak Street, was led to believe bv

Dan Carroll, d patro.man of the West
l3oth Street police station, arrested
Thomas Johnson, twenty-aine wears
old, of 529 Lenox Avenue, on Saturday
night and took him to the police sta
tion. Carol! had to fight a hundred
negro friends of johnson to make the
arrest, but he made it.
Johnson was amusing himself roll
ing beer bottles along the sidewalk
and crashing them into the gutter when
Carroll interrupted mis- pastime. John
son yelled for help and fifty negroes
erupted from nearby cabaret and
dashed into action. Another fiftv ap-
peared out of nearby tenement houses
and stores.
Carroll fought the crowd. He kicked
and punched and swung his nightstick
and he clung to his prisoner. They
downed him, and took his stick and his
gun away. Carroll, on the ground,
pulled johnson down with him and ar
ranged matters so that the BODY of his
prisoner took percentage of the
unches and kicks aimed in the police
man direction. Patrolman James
Carter came on the run, thinking war
had broken cut in Harlem. Carter got
in a couple of lusty licks on behalf of

Some intelligent supporter of the

hurry in a police 1ivver. The gang
scattered by way of adjacent Railways
and roofs. In thirty seconds there was
nobody there but Carroll, Carter and
Johnson, around whose PROSTATE form
Carroll's stout right arm was still
entwined

comparing notes with his wife and
Scardigli, L'Homme decided to make a

Durnherr's rooms at about midnight.

Detectives William j.. Moore and
Charles Dennison began the hunt for

AMERIcAN nusINEss.

Lee C. Bradley, Jr.. representing the Junior Chamber of Commerce, ad dressed the American Business club on Advantages of the City Manager Form of Government at luncheon Friday.
 Mir. Bradley said that the Junior Chamber of Commerce had written to representative citizens in various large cities over the country, re- questing that they submit their opin- ion on the .desrability of the form of government existing in their re- spectve cities. Replies indicated widespread dissatisfaction with all except the city manager plan, he said. He cited Dayton. O., as one of the first large cities to- try the city manager plan, and that eplies from letters written to citizens of Dayton failed to bring single case Of dissatisfaction because of the re- suits that had been attained.
 Speaking of the manner in which the city manager plan would operate in Birmingham, MT. Bradley said that 1t would embrace something of all forms of government. the principal difference being that the city man ager would have direct control of all business affecting the city. The city would be divided into districts. ap- proximately 25, and councilman would be elected from each district, mayor would be elected from the citv at large. The city manager would be elected by the city council and would hold office for an in- definite term. One-fourth of the members of the council would be elected each year. He said that this would prohibit any ~faanager's term of office from being subjected to the results of any one election. The peo- pie of the city would have repre- sentative on the council from each community, and matters affecting va rious communities could be presented by the councilman from that section. The city manager would be bound by no action of the council. except a vote for his removal.
 Mir. Bradley requested that Will , liam l.. White. Jr.. president of the American Business club. place this subject before the club. with the idea of gaining cooperation between the club and the Junior Chamber of Commerce in gathering additional in- formation as to the workings of the city manager form of government
 Mir. White, president of the club, announced that an American Busi- ness club had been organized in New Orleans with an initial membership of 50.

 The Thanksgiving offering is the only one taken in the public schools.
