Political Powers Back
Ward Defense, Says Esser

j. Henry Esser, of Mount Vernon,
who has been put forward as an indie
pendent candidate for the Republican
nomination for District Attorney of
Westchester County at the coming pri-
maries, Endorsed by the anti Ward Re-
publicans, who have formed the So
called Republican Association of West
chester County to fight the regular or.
ganization, addressed gathering of
Republican women yesterday at the
Westchester- Biltmore.
Mr.. Esser criticized the present re-
gime in the Westchester District At
torney's office for its handling of the
Ward murder case. The speaker
charged that political influences were
behind the Ward defense. Mr.. Esser
promised the women that if nominated
and elected he would administer the
law impartially for rich and poor alike.
"If Walter Ward is an innocent
man. said Mr., Esser, she should never
be tried. The District Attorney should
move TO ouash the indictment. But If
walter Ward is guilty man, he should
never be tried and acquitted on half
baked case and thereby given Immunity
from all further prosecution. 1t would
then he far better TO have the indict-
ment dismissed now and leave the door
omen to future prosecution by those
whose tongues, now silent, may be will
ing to aid the people of this county"

WASHINGTON, Sept. 7 (f3y The AS
ISOLATED Press) Reports of two i'm
vestigations made by Amer ican diplo-
matte and consular officers at New
castle, England, which have been re-
ceived at the State Department, are
understood to point to complete vim
dication Of Consul Slater and Vice
Consul Brooks from charges that they
had actel improperly in urging travel
ers TO patronize American Shipping
Board vessels and in discrimin nation
of the British merchant marine.
Another investigation, however, is
being made by members Of the Amer
lean embassy staff in London. acting
at the direction of Ambassador Har-
vey, and, it was learned to-day, the
British foreign office also had been
before final action will be taken in
the case by the State Department.
Meanwhile, it was said, there was
no intention on the part of the Wash
ington government to reopen the New
castle consulate which was closed when
the British government cancelled the
exequaturs of the two consuls.
Despite the congestion of shipping
at the Tyne port and the consequent
loss to shipping interests whose yes
sells are delayed, 1t was authoritatively
stated, there could be no change in
the situation until the British foreign
Office had submitted its final repre-
Sc. tations and the American officers
had concluded the investigation now
in progress.
One OF the reports was submitted
by Consul General Skinner and the
second by embassy officials in London

report oItained evidence which, in
the opinion of State Department off

the consular officers or justified the

as it was for the London authorities
to know when they cancelled the ex-
equsturs.
Afiidavits We're Anonymous
1t also was learned that the affidavits
received at the State Department, in
which the charges appeared, did not
bear the signature of the persons who
made them. 1t was for that reason
partly that the first Investigations were
commenced by Consul General Skinner
and the American Embassy in London,
with view of establishing the facts
recited in the affidavits, however IT..
regular in form the papers were.
At the present time, and despite re-
quests that the British authorities
