WARD D'SFATHER
To Be HEARD
Father and Brother of Con-
fesSed Slayer of Peters
Have Vanished
GRAND JURY WANTS THEM
Has Been on Business Trip, it
is Announced at Ward
Office

WHITE PLAINS, June 10:-
Deputy sheriffs were searching to-
day for George S. Ward and Walter
d. Ward, father and brother Of
Walter S. Ward, confessed slayer OF
Clarence Peters, a sailor. Subpoe-
mas for Wards father and brother
were issued yesterday but they had
left the elder Wards home at Spuy-
ten Duvvil a few hours before the
servers appeared.
The authorities want to question
thu father regarding the blackma!l
plot said by his son to have caused
the killing of Peters.
According to Westchester officials,
George Ward and his son, Ralph,
have not been served with subpoe
mas because they disappeared" 1t
was said last night at the Ward
home in Spuyten Duyvil that the
two were attending a bakers con-
vention at Bedford Springs. Pa,
which ended Wednesday, and are
making the trip back by motor. The
person who made this explanation
added that both were ready to go
before the grand Jury or do any
thing else asked by the Westches-
ter authorities.
The information that the Wards
wei III iNdAAd apparently
plains reports that George S. Ward
and Walter Ward had been motor
ing near Sunbury, Pa, during the
last few days. Ralph and Walter re-
senble each other very closely, and
it is assumed Ralph was mistaken
for Walter.
Incidentally there came a myste-
rious hint today that the resem-
biance of the Ward brothers may
prove to have an important bearing
on the blackmail plot. The investi-
gators talk of rumors of a double
blackmair' worked on the Ward
family in which Walter Ward may
be protecting some other member
of the family.
The Westchester authorities con-
tinued their search today for Miss
Fiji Ziegler, formerly a member of
the Ward household. They want her
as witness before the grand jury.
but have been unable to learn much
about her except that she is sun
posed to be working somewhere on
Long Island. One story is that she
was employed to take the place of
Miss Lulu Barrows, as nurse to the
Ward children. She left the Wards
the day Peters body was found, ac-
cording to the story. and Miss Bar
rows was re-engaged

MATCH HERE
Women Take Up ChiIdren's
Quarrel Which Lasts Long,
er Than One of Kids

Two female residents of Elizabeth
street last night INDUCED in a little
outdoor sport that took the form of
a hair-pulling match, Patrolman
Michael Patten reports. 1t seems
that the trouble started over a
ruckus between youngsters. The
kids got into a friendly battle and
were probably playing together In
perfect harmony few minutes
later, but the mothers of the chill
dren took the matter up for further
strife.
One biting remark led to another,
the supposition is, and the debate
eliminated in an exchange of blows
principals. The casualty occurred
under the impression that mere
words were inadequate, reached out
and annexed a handful of her ad-
versary's hair. That game, how
ever, 10 one that two may play at
and the outraged victim promptly
retaliated in kind. Just how much
of the hirsute growth was removed
in the course of the incident is not
known but 1t is certain that neither
woman was too proud to fight.
When the hairpulling diversion
grew monotonous one woman pick
ed UP a poker and landed a wallop
over the second woman's head. Gore
began to flow, but the fight was
halted at that point by the arrival
of officer Patten.
The policeman called for the pa
troll wagon at the request of the in
jured woman. intending to take her
to the city physician for treatment.
When the ambulance arrived, how
ever, the lady did the usual thing.
She changed her mind and refused
to take a free ride at the expense
of the city. She said she wanted
her own doctor and so Patten called
DIR. Martin S. Meinzer. He also in
structed the injured combatant to
get a warrant if she desired her op-
ponent's arrest.

HARDING BACK
At WASHINGTON
Lots More Fun to be College
Boy Than President, He
Declares

WASHINGTON, June 10-Presi-
dent Harding returning from his
trip to New Jersey where he deliv-
cred addresses at Princeton, arrived
in Washington early today. Prince
ton students marched out to cheer
the President after the university
gave him a degree. TITS lot more
fun to be a college youth than pres
ident, boys" the President told
them.
A dog ran through the crowd and
students gave chase.
Leave the dog alone boys" the
President said. Il love dogs. l
could deliver you a lecture on dogs.
They have one of the greatest at-
tributes in life-fidelity."
At Trenton In a speech from the
rear platform of his train the Pres
ident said that business is improving
and that wages though readjusted.
are never going down to pre-war
levels.
There was a cheer and a woman
yelled "Attaboy Harding"
PRINCETON, June 10.-Dean
West, of Princeton College praised
the Presidents quiet courage IN
his attitude towards the soldier
bonus and his vote while a senator
for the anti-strike clause in the
Cummings -Esch Railroad Act. He
told the President his act in calling
the Washington conference on imi-
tation of Armament had earned the
gratitude of the world. But the
most applause came from the spec
tators at Dean Vests mention OF
Mr.. Harding's opposition to the
bonus measure as it now stands.
The President delivered a pre-
pared address. but as in the battle
monument speech, departed from 1t
in delivery. He asserted that 1t was
"a passing passion" and said the
problems of peace are ''unending."
The President and Mrs. Harding
received several hundred Prince
tonians at a reception held after
the exercises on Nassau Hall steps
and later a reception was held for
them at the home of President Hib-
ben. Princeton students marched
out to cheer the President when his
party boarded the train for Wash
ington, and he responded with a
short speech.

IMPROPER BATHING
SUITS WORN BY men
CAUSES ACTION HERE

Tonnesen promises an arrest and a
fine for offenders who persist in dis
regarding the regulation.
The chiefs order makes no COM
ment upon costumes to be worn by
women, but supposition is that Po-
licewoman Jesine Olesen will stand
guard over this phase of the situa-
ton. Officer Olsen makes regular
tours of the waterfront. There
seems to be no ban on the one-piece
suits that have scandalized other
seashore municipalities. the only re-
quirement being that the bathers be
suitably protected, from the sun
probably.

MONTANA SEEKS TO
IMPROVE PRIMARIES

HELENA, Mont, June 2S.--An et-
fort will be made in the general cleo
tions in Montana next November to
Improve the primary"
An organization has been perfect
ed here to secure a new primary
measure for submission to the voters
that will replace the present primary
law, which has been the object of
criticism, not only in Montana but
throughout the country
The proposed measure, which will
be initiated, will repeal the present
law, and its supporters declare it will
eliminate many Objectionable features
of present primary law and may be
operated at much less cost.
The measure provides for the hold
ing of county and state conventions
for the nomination of candidates
much like the old convention" sys-
tenn, but provides that the rules of the
conventions are to be explicitly stated
in the law and not governed by the
political partys wishes.
Delegates to county conventions, ac-
cording to the proposed law, are to
be selected at primary meetings held
in each precinct of the county. Only
registered vsters Of the party holding
the primary may participate IN the
primary meeting, which may instruct
its delegates to vote for any candidate
or proposition to come before the
county convention.
Selection of delegateG to the State
will be made by county
conventions, and state conventions
will choose delegates to national con
ventions.
All nominations to State and Conf
gressional offices will be made, ac-
eording to provisions in the new
measure. by state conventions.
County officials will be nominated |
by county conventions.
