PETERS MURDER CASE REVOLVES
ABOUTTHE RACE TRACKS; WARD
NOT ALONE INVOLVED IN CASE

Most OF the time between four and six
o'clock, when it was learned, Ward was
in New Rochelle, was spent in q con-
tinuance of the conspiracy investigation
which supreme court Justice Nor
schauser had been hearing. Ralph d.
Ward, brother of the prisoner, was ques-
toned at length about the blaclsmat
plot and his fathers association with it.
Shortly after the inquiry was adj
iourned, and before word was received
from New Rochelle, it became known
that the conspiracy inquiry had served
at least one purpose. It is reported to
have shown that the whole case revolves
about the race tracks and that young
Ward Is not the only member of his
family involved For days it has been
limited strongly that racing was at the
bottom OF the alleged blaclmail plot, but
District Attorney Weeks was unable to
establish that before the grand jury. At
the conspiracy inquiry however, it was
said TO have been admitted.

PROHIBITIONISTS WOULD DENY
GOVERNMENT AID TO ANY SHIP
ON WHICH LIQUOR IS STORED
First Definite Steps to End Con-
ditiOns Complained of by
Anheuser- Busch Co.
tav rhe Assoelarea preaal

WASHINGTON, June 15-Indications
multiplied rapidly today that prohibition
proponents in congress would move to
amend the pending merchant marine bin
to stop the saIs OF liquor on American
ships. The first definite step to end the
conditions complained of by Anheuser
Busch, Inc, of st. Louis, came through
presentation by Representative Bank
head, democrat, Alabama, to the house
merchant marine committee of an amend
mont TO the merchant marine bin which
would deny government aid to any Amer
lean ship on which liquor is stored, sold
or otherwise disposed The committee
did not act on the amendment at today's
session and later republican committee
members, hastily called together received
another proposal framed by Representa-
tive Edmonds, republican. Pennsylvania,
and designed as a substitute for the
Bankhead amendment.
The Edmonds amendment would have
the effect of putting American ships on
a parity with those of nations which do
not have prohibition. 1t would provide a
fine of $4,000 on any ship of whatever
registry on which liquor is sold during
a voyage starting or ending at an Amer
lean port and after a second offense would
prohibit the entrance of the ship to
American ports The proposal was taken
under consideration by the majority com
mittee members with the belief being ad-
vanced in some quarters that it ran di-
rectiy counter to many of the nations
commercial treaties.
Action during the day was not entire
ly confined to congress for as on yester-
day executive officials discussed the mat
ter and It was indicated at the treasury
that Attorney General Daugherty might
be asked soon for a ruling on the legal
ity of liquor selling on American ships.
Mr.. Daugherty when asked about the
possibility of a new ruling or rather a
review OF the ruling made by department
OF justice during the Wilson adninistra-
tion to the effect that prohibition follows
the fag, said that although no such re-
quest had been made it would be acted
upon as speedily as possibility If made.
Representative Upshaw, democrat,
Georgia, declared in the house today that
the position of the shipping board on
the matter utterly indefensible."
Senator Caraway, democrat, Arkansas,
in the senate characterized the policy of
the board as Childish, foolish and dis
honest
Chairman Laskcr Of the board mean
while maintained silence on the whole
matter.

EVERY MEMBER OF
FREE STATE MUST
SUBSCRIBE FAITH
Swear to Be Faithful to the
King in Virtue of Common
Citizenship of Ireland.
FEMALE SUFFRAGE is
GRANTED BY DOCUMENT
Empowers the People Them
selves to Initiate Legislation;
Also the Referendum.

LONDON, June 15.-The draft Of the
new Irish constitution made public to-
night on the eve Of the Irish elections
gives, as the document itself states,
force or law to the Anglo-Irish treaty
and expressly declares that any pro-
visions Of the constitution or any
amendment thereto, or any law enact
ed under the constitution, which is in
any respect repugnant 10 rne treaty
shall be void and imperative.
The constitution thus embodies oon-
nection with the British crown, as al
ready established IN the treaty, and
generally places the relations between
Ireland and the Empire on the same
basis as Canada and the other DOM
Unions.
The constitution requires every
member Of the free state parliament to
subscribe faith and allegiance to the
constitution and swear to be faithful
to the king in virtue Of the common
citizenship OF Ireland and Great Bri-
tain and Ireland's membership in the
British commonwealth OF nations.
The document contains 70 articles
and Is considered an up to date instru-
ment. not anly granting female suf-
frage. proportionate representation,
and a referendum TO the people, but
also empowering the people themselves
TO initiate legislation. II gives to the
Achamber great power with respect 70
money bills wihout control from the
senate thus duplicating the position
as between the British house Of COM
mons and the house OF lords.
It exempts the free state from ac-
tiye participation in war without the
consen OF parliament except in the
case OF actual invasion and gives
Irish supreme court the fullest powers,
only stipulating for the right Of citi-
zens to appeal to the king In council
against the supreme courts decision.
It provides for freedom Of religion
and conscience. gives free state citi-
Gems full protection against the aroi-
trary power Of court martial. and ex-
tends to parliament exclusive control
over the armed forces, as stipulated in
the treaty.

added Mr. Roosevelt, the primary re-

When asked for a copy OF the repri-

public at the same time a statement IN
which he expressed the belief that no
