Attorney Weeks.
Cunningham was arrested today
as a material witness. He stated
that the wounded man had been
taken to his mothers home and
that he told him of the blackmaIl
plot to force money from Ward,
several days before it occurred.
Detectives are searching for the
wounded man. Details which The
detectives have been able to force
from Cunningham are withheld.
New York detectives are also
searching for characters in the
underworld who have been seer
driving an automobile. Ward des-
cribed the blackmailers as driving
red car. District Attorney
Weeks expects the Cunningham
arrest to bring break in the my5-
terry that surrounds the death Of
Peters.
Extension of the quest for facts
thus far has tended only to intro
duce more mysterious angles.
Two questions have been recur-
ring:
What was the threat which
caused Ward to keep a woodland
tryst at night with a band of
blackmailers, who, he claims, fore
ed him to fire in self-defence?
Was Peters actually slain near
the reservoir, as Ward contends,
and if not, where?

Britannica's Sneering Account
of Ex-Secretary Denounced
by Pershing.

Was Eamonn de Valera, titular Pres
ident Of the so-called Irish Republic.
born In New York city or in County
Cork, Ireland?
Until recently contemporary au-
thority appears to have been unani-
NOUS in the declaration that De Va
lera's birthplace was New York, and
that when he was 21z, after the death
of his Spanish father, he was taken
by his Irish mother to the Emerald
Isle, where he was reared and edu
Gated.
But now comes different tale and
from source commonly considered
eminent. The twelfth edition of the
Encyclopedias Britannica, recently
published, contains In one Of it's re-
vised volumes long biography of De
Valera. which begins as follows:
DE Valera, Edward (Eamonn). Irish
Republican leader. was born October IA,
1882. near Charleville. County Cork. His
father, Vivian De Valera. was q
spaniard: his mother, whose maiden
name was Kate Coll. came from near

that '.De Valera was born in New York
city in 1882 Of an Irish mother and q
Spanish father. was taken to ireland by
his mother after his fathers death,
when he was only two and half years
old" and that 'he has only the faintest
recollection of leaving New York and
OF being taken on the ship At Queens
town"
Finally. when De Valera himself
visited America about two years ago his
advent In New York was heralded by
his intimate associate, the late Harry
j. Boland. then the honorary secretary
of the Sim Fein organization and
member OF the Dali Eireann. or Irish
National Assembly. who distributed for
newspaper publication a voluminous
sketch of De Valera which he pre-
faced with the statement: "Eamonn
De Valera. President OF the Irish
Republic. Is In his native CITY,"
Boland then proceeded to write
that president De Valera was born in
New York city October IA. 1882"

the authorities on which he had re-
versed the usual account of the Irish
patriots native town.
According to Mr.. Hooper's secretary,

sneering Characterization of Newton D.
Baker, president Wilson's Secretary of
War.
In an article of less than 200 words
Secretary Baker was curtly dismissed
as IAN American politician" His war
achievements were summarized thus by
the Britannica:
After the outbreak of the world war
he indorsed the Administrators peace
policy, supported the League to Enforce
Peace and urged that the National
Guard be tried fully before compulsory
service be decided upon. After America
entered the war he recommended mod
Grafton toward conscientious objectors
and forbade men in uniform to inter-
fere with anti-conscription meetings.
The charge of pacifism was often
brought against him and his career
generally as Secretary was widely con-
demned throughout the United States
as lacking in energy. foresight and
ability"
A few Of the many Americans who have
voiced their protest against this British
estimate OF Secretary Baker are Gen.
