Among the phases of law en-

WARD MYSTERY
CASE EXPECTED
Arrest of Race-Track Man
Regarded as Important
by Police.

WHITE PLAINS. \. Y. June 2
Examination of James J. Cunning
ham, a race track follower, arrest
ed last night in connection with
the killing of Clarence Peters un-
der mysterious circumstances that
have involved Walter S. Ward of
New Rochelle, was planned today
by District Attorney Weeks.
Cunningham, after three hour
conversation with the Westchester
County authorities in New York,
was arrested as a material witness.
He stated the man wounded by
Ward in the battle following at
tempted b1ackmail has been taken
to his mothers home, and that the
man told him about the blackmail
plot FORGET money from Ward sew
eral days before it occurred. Detec-
tives are searching for the wound
ed man, whose name, as well as
his probable hiding place, was re-
yealed by Cunningham, according
to the authorities.
The arrest of Cunningham revived
stories of plunges made by Ward
at various tracks and his acqualn-
tanceship with many well known
horsemen and gamblers.
Details of the information West
chester authorities were able to
froce from Cunningham have been
withheld by Mr.. Weeks and the
sheriff.
The prisoner is said to have
worked for Commander ]. K. L.
Ross the Canadian horseman as an
investigator of race track, frauds
and gambling. rings, Commander
Ross is owner OF. Sir Barlon-
Is New York detectives are also
searching for two well known char
acters OF the und derworld who have
been seen recently in the white
light district driving red automo-
bile. The police say the men are
apparently in funds, although ootn
have but recently been released
after serving prison terms: Ware
described the blackmailer's car as
red and his general descriptions
ara said to fit these men.
District Attorney Weeks, who
now has three groups of investlga-
tors at work, expects the Cunning
ham arrest to bring a sudden
break in the mystery surrounding
the death of Peters. The State Po-
lice have entered into the chase,
and agents of private detective
,, agency also are active.
Detectives are trying to trace ar
ex-pugilist and semi-profesSlona
ball player known as Charles Ross
with whom Ward was reported tt
have had fist fight in the paddocF
at the Bowie race-track last spring
The fight was recontinued in a roac
house near Baltimore, according tc
the story.

Northern West Virginias
Mine Run Price N0W $3.50
Local Coal Operators Pleased
With Outcome of HooVer's
Meeting.

Coal, operators from Northern
West Virginia who attended the
conference called by Secretary of
Commerce Hoover in Washington
ID. c., yesterday to devise ways
mounting price levels of coal were
highly pleased with the outcome
of the gathering.
The price for Northern West
Virginia is So so a ton for mine
run without differentiating be-
tween the thick and thin seams.
Touching on the salient points
of the conference, George 8.
Bracket. Fairmont. secretary Of
the Northern West Virginia Coal
Operators Association. today said,
some districts have set 1918 a
ton for lump coal, to which Secre-
tary of Commerce Hoover did not
object to but in order to make the
proposition as simple as possible
and to furnish a greater supply of
coal to the markets he suggested
that the So so price for mine run
coal be made the basis to ift as
many cases as possible.
THE question of the old 25
cents less a ton for slack was the
subject of considerable discmuston
among the operator, but it appears
at the present time the slack mar
ket is about as high as the mine
run market. Secretary Hoover
raised no objection to- asking as
much for slack as mine run coal
under these conditions.
Northern West Virginia Coal
operators met secretary Hoover
at 1880 o'clock yesterday morn
ing.
A meeting OF the Northern West
Virginia Coal Operators Associa-
ton will be held at the rooms in
the Jacobs Building at IL o'clock
tom orrow morning when number
of the operators who attended the
Washington conference will make
reports.
