SEARCH OF WARDS
RESIDENCE FAILS
TO REVEAL SHOTS
Officers Unable to Find
Evidence of Killing in
Country House.

WHITE PLAINS. n. Y. May al
Following a fruitless search today
Of the vine-covered home of Walter
s. Ward. at New Rochelle. for evil
dence that the shooting of Clarence
Peters by the young millionaire
baker may have taken place in
the library there. District Attor-
ney Weeks, of West Chester ColN ty
stated he was no nearer solution
of the mystery than at any time
since Ward confessed the staying.
The Ward home was ransacked
from ridge pole to cellar by seven
police and detectives for confirma-
ton of a story to the effect that
the killing occurred there on the
night of May IS. and not pear the
Kensico reservoir, where the, body
was found.
Marks of shots that had gone
wild were looked for in vain in
the woodwork and furniture, Weeks
said. and there was no evidence that
Ward, as reported. had shot Peters
dead and wounded another man
after discovering that their con-
versation concerning alleged black
mail had been overhead by two
other men secreted in a closet ad-
jo'~'o~ the lih-ary.
Weeks would not say, however,
that ne was satisfied tn the story
had no Foundation in fact.
Police Chief Cody. of New
Rochelle. who until recently took
orders from young Ward as chair
man of the police committee of that
city, went further.
81 will stake my place that
neither Peters nor anybody else was
ki'l~d o. =Not in the Ward home
on the night of May 1s-16," he said.
II have interviewed the Officers on
duty. and / am sta nding Implicitly

BALFOUR EXPLAINS
CASTER QUOTATION
Tells Commons, Though Ar.
ticle Did Not Bind France,
Views Were important.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press. =
LONDON. February 24.-The alleged
misleading quotation by Lord Lee of
the British delegation to the Wash
ington conference from articles by
"Castex" on submarine warfare,
which appeared in the Revue Mari
time in 1920, came up for discussion
in the house of commons yesterday.
In reply to a question as to whether
an explanation could be given of this
and whether this quotation affected
adversely the proposals to reduce the
submarine tonnage of the leading
naval powers, A. P. Balfour. who was
head of the British mission. said that
numerous points should be borne in
mind regarding the submarine dis
cussons at Washington.
The statement of "Castex," he de-
clared, did not commit the French
admiralty government or people, but
his views could not be ignored. AN
important part of the first article ex-
pressed the German views on the
proper use of the submarine in war,
and in the course of this ex-
position, the notorious passage oc-
Cured respecting the unique value of
this weapon for the purpose of ac-
complishing the final ruin of British
sea power.
But it has to be Observed, con-
tinued Mr.. Ba1four, that though this
statement was imbedded in the state
ment of German opinion, with which
Castex was in general agreement. he
was entitled to plead that this agree
ment did not extend to every SEN
tence the statement contained. We
could not conclude that he desired
the destruction Of England. but only
that, if he did, unrestricted sub
marine warfare would be the mari
time weapon on which he probably
would rely"
Mr.. Balfour said Castex saw blem-
ishes in the German practice. and
thought as Great Britain did, that
submarine warfare with it's cruelty
was both useless and stupid. But for
submarine warfare properly conduct
ed Castex had nothing but approval.
The question arose-was submarine
wafare properly conducted? 1t APP
peared to permit the destruction
without warning and without exami-
nation of merchant vessels and liners.
as well as their passengers and crew.
Now. it was these very opera
tons" Mr.. Balfour added. ''as Castex
proudly claimed, which were origi-
nally. devised by French ingenuity,
thlss came under review by the Wash
ington conference, and, under Mr..
Roots guidance. the governments of
France. Italy, Japan, United States
and the British empire unanimously
declared that they were grossly i'm
moral, and it was the perpetrators of
these who were pronounced liable to
be punished as pirates"

First Service Bulletin Shows

Details of how the 457 American
consuls now in the service Of the State
Department are gathering informa-
ton, extending protection, enforcing
American laws and exerting Ameri-

Wilbur J. Carr, director Of the con-

American Consular Bulletin. a MONTH
ly published by the American Consular
Association. an unofficial and volun-
tary organization embracing most OF
the members of the consular service
Of the United States.
'There is probably no class Of Off
GERS of the government. whose func-
lions are less correctly understood by
the public than consuls," says ID.
rector Carr. ITO one man consul
is merely q wiser of passports; TO
another the word consul signifies

goods in foreign lands. Many a
mother knows the consul only as a
