MRS, Wards
STORY PROBED
Sheds Little Light in Strange
Mystery of Killing of
Peters

WHITE PLAINS, June 1:-De-
tectives for District Attorney Weeks
were busy today investigating the
statements made before the grand
Jury by Mrs. Beryl Ward, wife OF
Walter S. Ward. confessed slayer o.
Peters. She was a reluctant wit
ness. Not until after she had been
brought before court did she reveal
even a little of what passed in her
home on the evening before and the
morning of the shooting.
The grand jury recessed until to-
morrow to digest the testimony ana
give Mr.. Weeks men a chance 10
check up the new angles.
Mrs. Ward finally fixed the ar
rival home OF her husband on the
morning of the shooting at about
4:S0. This is a point in Ward 5
favor that the fight started about
1855 and after that he went straight
home.
James Cunningham, who told OF a
battle in Wards home, was not call
ed yesterday nor was his attorney
able to furnish the $4,000 bail.
The May Grand Jury was said
today to be dissatisfied with the in
formation obtained from Mrs. Ward.
and plans TO call her again. prob
ably when it resumes its hearing
tomorrow. The jurors were said to
have taken a recess over today TO
enable detectives TO check up some
of the testimony heard yesterday.
Mrs. Ward left the staying of the
ex sailor Peters as much a mystery
as ever, though she had been quoted
as saying two weeks ago that she
could clear up the whole mystery"
if the lawyers would allow her to
talk.

UTILITY PLANK

McCarter's Statement Dis
agrees With Stokes Re-
garding Trenton Confab

TRENTON June THE declara-
ton of Republican State Chairman
Stokes to the effect that there was
no politics discussed at the visit of
Messrs. McCarter, Wakelee and
Baird to his Office last week and
that the visit of these Public Ser
vice officials and stockholders was
entirely accidental is not borne out
by the statements which have been
quoted from the lips of President
McCarter. VIZ
The head of the Public Service
companies has admitted that the
public utilities plank in the Runyon
gubernatorial announcement was
discussed at the conference of the
four men in the Mechanics Bank In
this city. Mr.. McCarter is opposed
to the Runyon view on the reduc-
ton of trolley. gas, electric and tele-
phone rates and so expressed his
opinion to the Republican state
chairman. Yet Mr.. Stokes in a
statement yesterday declared that
the visit of the three men to his
Office had no political significance.
Was the conference pre-ar-
ranged" Mr.. McCarter was asked.
YES" he replied. 81 called Mr..
StOkeS on the lelepHOne ellneE

and told him would be in Trenton
with Mr.. Wakelee Friday morning
and would like to see him."
did you understand that Mr..
Baird would be present at the con-
ference" was the next query to the
Public Service president.
"Oh, yes" was the reply.
Yet Mr.. Stokes declared TO Trer-
ton newspapermen that Mr.. Baird
just dropped in" informally. Here
Is the former governors statement
Issued for publication yesterday:
Former Governor Stokes said to-
day that a vast deal of speculative
guessing had been printed because
of the fact that former Senator
Baird, Senator McCarter and Sena-
tor Wakelee had dropped in at the
bank last Friday. The former gov
ernor said this is not an infrequent
occurrence. These gentlemen are
apt to drop in occasionally when in
town and are welcome as all other
friends are. No apologies are offer
ed for their visits.
There was not the slightest poll
tical significance in their call. There
was no talk of any new candidates
or old candidates pro or con. The
conversation was exclusively social
and business"

ROTARY CLUB
AIDS THE BOYS
Help Lads to Go to Camp
Also Take Up Boy Scout
Movement

Perth Amboy Rotarians got down
to real work at their weekly lunch
con at the New Packer House today.
A communication from Boys Work
Secretary Scott, of the Y. NJ. c. A.
was read giving a list of eight boys
of this city. all of whom have been
investigated and found worthy, who
are short various amounts to defray
their expenses at Camp Wawayanda
the Y. NJ. c. A. state camp, this
summer.
All of these boys have some of
their own money. but unless they
receive outside help they will be un-
able to realize their ambition. About
$3.50 was needed altogether to see
these eight boys through. The Ro-
tarians voted TO contribute IS apiece
to make up the necessary amount
and the hat was passed forthwith
with the result that nearly the entire
amount was raised then and there.
The remainder necessary will be
contributed by members who were
absent today.
Another matter taken up was the
Boy Scout movement in Perth Am
boy. The Rotary club voted to get
behind this idea and made it a
power for good among the boys of
this city. 1t is likely that the Ro-
tarians. later on. will assume the
responsibility of enrolling a sustain
ing membership for the Boy Scouts
so as to see that the movement is
properly financed hereafter.
The attention of the Rotarians
was called to a movement that was
said to be on foot to have a fifteen
foot channel dug in the Raritan
river at the expense of the thirty
foot channel up the bay from Sandy
Hook to this city. There is a bill
pending in the senate at Washington
providing for a thirty-foot channel
through the bay and Arthur XIII.
The idea is to have this bill amend
ed so that the channel in the bay
will not be so deep and the money
thus saved be used for the channel
up the river.
The Rotarians. while appreciating
the value of a fifteen foot channel
up the Raritan river, were opposed
to having the channel up the bay any
less than thirty feet. In fact, they
favored a channel thirty-five feet
deep, rather than one of only thirty
feet.
The club went on record as being
opposed to any reduction in the
depth of the proposed channel up
the bay to this city. The civics COM
mittee was instructed 10 draw up a
suitable communication TO be sent
TO Congressman Appleby and TO SEN
ators Edge and Frelinghuysen re-
garding the matter.
