MAN in WARD CASE
Philadelphia Police Quiz Hos.
pital Patient Suffering
From Two Bullets.

PHILADELPHIA, June J. - A
mysterious prisoner. suffering from
two old bullet wounds is under
heavy guard in a local hospital.
while police seek to identify. him
as the missing Jack" Of the Ward
mystery Of White Plains.
The prisoner says he Is John
CieuZo. 30, of Greensburg, Pa, and
Wakefield, Mass.
One reason why the police think
the man may be the companion OF
Clarence Peters, on the night he was
killed by Walter s. Ward. is that a
booklet of the Ward Baking Com
pany was found in his possession.
Young Ward is an officer of that
corporation.
The wounded man of mystery
was taken from his cot in the hos
ital today and brought to City
Hall and subjected to a severe grill
ling by experts of the murder squad.
How did you get your Wounds
he was asked.
Il was shot during some strike
trouble" he answered.
The detectives continued ques-
tioning Cieuzo. but he insisted he
lad told the truth about his identity
and the manner in which he re-
cetved his wounds. He was finally
sent back to the hospital
The mystery deepened tonight
with the seizing of the prisoners
handbag.
Search of the bag disclosed that
the prisoner is also known as John
Star: that he was familiar with the
Bronx section of New York. which
is just below white Plains, where
Peters was slain; that he engaged
in private detective work. described
by Ward as being a means used to
blackmail him, and that he carried
carefully marked road map.
clipped from a New York paper, of
the Long Island shore directly oppo-
site White Plains.
The prisoner himself is now in a
straight jacket and four patrolmen
constantly guard him.
After being returned to the hos
pital he became surly and vicious
and made several attempts to leap
from the window of the room where
he is confined.

luton protesting against :he trans

SECRETARY HOOVER
SEEKS PRICE LIMIT
IN RETAIL MARKET
Nations Coal Dealers
Confer With Commerce
Head Tomorrow.
SUPPLY DWINDLES
Agreement Similar to Oper-
ators, Will Block
Profiteering.
SUPPLY DWINDLES

AS the nations fuel supply was
slowly dwindling. Secretary Of Conn.,
merce Hoover last night began the
second step in his attempt to stabilize
the coal industry and protect the pub
lie against impending high prices.
Another man to man proposition
similar to the present pledge be-
tween Mr.. Hoover and the producing
coal operators-will be submitted to
the retail dealers tomorrow, 1t was
announced.
Under pressure OF public opinion
Secretary Hoover plans to exact from
the retailers the promise to prevent
profiteering and enforce reasonably
lower sales prices, commensurate
with the reductions the operators
promised at the mines.
MIR. Hoover Conndent.
Mr.. Hoover is confident the proposi-
tion will be accepted and that the
public will thus be steeled for the
crash OF present stocks expected In
three weeks.
Twenty to twenty five retailers will
comprise the special committee of the
National Retail Coal Merchants AS
sociation. which is to meet the Sec
retary at the Commerce Department,
at p. m. tomorrow. The announce.
ment that the meeting had been ar.
ranged stated the conference was "for
the purpose of discussing the question
Of cooperation on the part Of the coal
retailers In the plans for fair prices
during the course OF the strike"
1t was learned. however. that Mr.
Hoover has already tacitly communi-
Gated his proposition to the leaders
of the association and that their ac-
ceptance is practically assured.
Agreement Expected.
Homer D. Jones. OF Chicago. presi-
dent OF the association, will act as
chairman of the committee. II is con-
sidered probable that he will be asked
to head the special permanent com
mittee which will deal with Mr.
Hoover on the price question as long
as the present strike continues.
No reports OF profiteering in coal by
retailers has been received at the
Department OF Commerce it was said
One complaint was received from
Chicago that an arrangement had
been made by retailers there to jumI
the price 25 to so cents a ton.
The Commerce Department immed-
lately began an investigation and the
report was found to be false.

SOUTHRONS HONOR
JEFFERSON DAVIS
Senator Harrison Delivers
Eulogy at Confederate
Society Services.

Tribute was paid to the memory
of Jefferson Davis by organizations
of the Sons and Daughters of the
Confederacy at the Mount Vernon
Place NJ. E. Church yesterday-the
anniversary of the birth of the man
who is characterized as the great
est man who ever adorned the an
nails of Mississippi and the acknowi-
edged leader of the South"
A eulogistic address was delivered
by Senator Pat Harrison. of Mis-
sissippi. the principal speaker at
the joint memorial ceremonies.
Senator Harrison expressed his
pleasure at having been one of the
legislators from the South to vote
for appropriations which made pos
sible the erection of the magnificent
memorial recently dedicated to the
memory of Abraham Lincoln.
THE South appreciates the splen-
did qualities and lofty virtues of
Abraham Lincoln. and has come to
believe that those dark and never
to-be-forgotten days of reconstruc-
tion. the memory of which still
clings like a nightmare over the
whole Southland, might have been
avoided IL II had not been for his
inopportune DEATH he said.
But" he continued. 'I can not
understand the justice or fairness
of those who would have the people
Of the South forgive and forget,
Y vhle they still hold a prejudice
almost upon malignity
against the man whose memory we
tonight-the, leader OF
a lost, but glorious cause-a cause
founded upon as strong convictions
of right as ever filled the breast of
a Northerner"
