Native Pride in Governor Bouck.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: would
suggest to my esteemed fellow citizen
r. L. O'Brien that the explanation Of the
long loyalty shown by Schoharie county.
New York. to the Democratic cause may
be found in the fact that once upon q
time one Of It's native sons, William G.
Bouck. was Governor Of New York
State.
He seems to have been greatly be-
loved by those Of his own county In
particular. No doubt the majority OF
Schoharies voters now who have come
to maturity or have been born since his
time have forgotten the ancient loyalty
which made a man-even though the
practice was considered reprehensible by
many--vote as did his father or grand
father. q. A. TAYLOR.

Our Centrist Group.

1t is certainty that Congress is
going 10 have Centrist group. 1t
cannot yet be called a Centrist party.
because, small though it be, it will be
made up of few insurgent Demo
Gratis and a somewhat larger number
of insurgent Republicans. with per-
laps slight radical sprinkling really
outside of both regular party lines.
A closely organized group, however,
under competent leadership can be
as effective as a formal party. And
in all probability this Centrist group
will not wait to get into action until
after next March, when the Sixty
eighth Congress comes into exist
ence.
This small Centrist group will be
capable of exerting a formidable OBJ
structive power through shifting its
vote at will from one side to the
other. With the Democratic minor
ity in the new Congress so nearly
even in numbers to the controlling
Republican organization the Centrist
group could convert the minority into
majority upon occasion. The ad-
vantageous position of those holding
such balance OF power is obvious.
But while that will mean strong
influence with both sides, the Cen
trist group cannot have its own way
in putting through its own legislative
ideas, sound or unsound, moderate or
immoderate. II may dicker with
either side to give its votes to party
program or to party measures pro-
vided it can have some of it's own
freight hauled on the same train. But
neither the Republican majority lead
ers nor the Democratic minority
leaders are going to let the little Cen
trist group steam roller the great
mass OF the membership Of Congress
out of business.
To defeat the ship subsidy BILL for
example, when neither Democrats nor
Republicans as a whole are keen for
passing it, is one thing. But to re-
peal the new tariff law when the
Republican majority is still pledged
TO Il, as it believes, and when the
Democratic minority hopes to carry
the country on that issue two years
from now, is quite another matter.
In the same way to talk of wiping
out the Esch-Cummins railroad law
Is easy, but to do that job with many
Democrats as well as the bulk of the
Republican membership determined
TO improve the railroad situation
with suitable amendments to the rail
road act, not for the sake of the
carriers but for the sake Of the coun-
try. calls for main strength in a
greater measure than any group or
any party in Congress will possess IL
in the next two years.
The Centrist group can be and
ought to he an influence for good and
a force for prevention OF bad law
making in the situation which Is
ahead Of Congress and the Harding
administration. But IL IL is not rea-
sonable both in respect of its am
bition to dominate the heavy legisla-
tive ranks Of the two regular parties
and in respect of its own pet meas
ures that 1t wants to put through by
vote trading schemes II is not likely
to get very far either as an extempo-
rized law making machine or as the

1t is interesting to hear one popular

AUTO PLUNCES
INTO DITCH
Man Has Narrow Escape in
Accident on Amboy Ave.
Auto 0verturns

Thomas Lykes of 1872 Fairview
avenue, Jersey City. barely escaped
serious and probably fatal injuries
last night when the car he was driv-
ing out Amboy avenue skidded or
the wet pavement, plunged into the
open ditch and overturned. BY sheer
luck Lykes came through the Incl
dent unhurt. The automobile was
badly damaged and had to be towed
to a garage.
The accident is attributed to the
fact that last nights rain on the bits
of clay that have scattered or the
pavement created a slippery mixture
that made driving difficult. Clay
reaches the pavement from the ex-
cavation made along the road by
the gas company and in wet weather
Is quickly churned into a Shiny sub
stance which affords a poor driving
surface.
The accident took place near In
slice street, on Amboy avenue, and
was investigated by Patrolman 10.

Hudson coupe, heading northward.
The machine was so badly damaged
it was taken to the garage Of Peter

HOLD SHELTON
MAN IN JAIL
Resident of Colony Held for
Grand Jury for Theft of
Tractor

NEW BRUNSWICK, Aug. ST.
Leo Bess, one of the residents of
Fellowship farm, the Stelton colony,
is confined in the county jail in de-
fault of $1,000 bail to await grand
jury action on a charge of stealing
a tractor from the premises of Alex
Monroe. Stelton resident and former
major in the British army.
Bess' arrest followed the discov-
cry of the ractor at his home during
an investigation conducted by Coun-
ty Detective Ferd A. David. David
was called in on the case last night
at 9 O'Clock when Major Monroe
notified the prosecutors office of the
alleged theft.
Major Monroe's Stelton home
figured prominently in the first page
news two years ago when Crazy
Mike" entered the house, stole a
Lee-Enfield army rifle and then shot
the Felter sisters of New Brunswick,
who happened to be in an automo-
bile nearby. Cray Mike" later
went to state prison to serve a life
term.
David says the tractor was found
securely padlocked, with ignition
points removed and nuts taken off
the wheels. The latter point was
not discovered until the authorities
attempted to tow the machine back
to the farm of its lawful owner.
With another man, wro is expect
ed to be arrested today, Bess is
charged with the theft of the ma
chine. He declares, however, that
he was Instructed by Major Mon
roe's brother John, to take the
tractor away to his home for re-
pairs. lie further charges that pre-
vious repair bills amount to 1910
which he has been unable TO col
1ect. Both Major Monroe and his
brother deny the story. Bess state
ments are said to be 81 contradict
tory in character that the authori-
ties give the mno ~credence.
Major Monroe says hehas contin-
ually suffered from petty annoy
ances and thieverly. giving as the
cause the fact that he does not
mingle with his radical neighbors.

much the better. But anything is
preferable to aimless existence. OF

WHITE PLAINS, Aug. 31:-Ca1
a man be convicted of murder on
his own uncorroborated confession?
That is the paramount question in
the Walter S. Ward murder mystery,
which is nc nearer solution now
than it was more than three months
ago when the millionaire son of the
president of the Ward Baking Com
pany made the sensational admis-
sion that he had killed Clarence
Peters as the climax of a blackmail
plot.
These two other questions focus
attention:
If Ward stands trial with a plea
secret?
Who, If anybody, is he protecting
in the murder-blackmail mystery?
Wards lips have been locked ever
since his confession. His young
wife, sticking by him. is silent.
WeStcheSter county authorities
have spent thousands of dollars try
ing to solve the mystery, but they
have not shaken Wards story. nor
have they uncovered a shred of evil
dence to corroborate his confession.
Meanwhile Ward is free on $780,
900 bail. Charlie Ross" and Jack"
named as blackmailers, have not
been found. The case is supposed to
come to trial this fall.
This is the story of the Ward
killing:
CHAPTER 1
The body of a man was found
May 1S on a lonely road ear Ken
sico reservoir. between White Plains
and Port Chester. There was a
bullet wound in his chest. Tracks
Of one automobile were seen. A
bullet was found imbedded in a tree.

appearance of Peters pistol; he said
he found only one discharged shell
at the scene, in spite of the barraGe
Ward described; also found tracks
of only one car and no signs of a
scuffIe; ten persons living within 200
yards said they heard no shots.
Ward resigned as chairman of the
New Rochelle Police Commission.
CHAPTER VII.
District Attorney Weeks a%nnounc-
ed himself dissatisfied with Wards
story, saying he believed Charley
Ross and Jack" fictitious charac-
tiers.
Ward refused to tell his secret,
but his lawyers showed Weeks two
threatening letters signed &C. r."
Peters family hired a lawyer to
prove Peters innocent of blackmail.
Ward was rearrested and after
spending two nights in Jail was re-
leased on $4,000 bail. He turned
over to the sheriff two guns, one of
which he said he picked UP after
Peters was shot.
CHAPTER VIII.
A Broadway busboy told the po-
lice a woman offered him $500 to
kill somebody in the Ward house."
Wards house searched following
rumor that shooting of Peters took
place there. Nothing found.
A private detective was arrested
as a material witness on his story
that he witnessed meeting of black
mailers and shooting in Ward home,
Mrs. Ward resisted efforts of the
grand jury to make her tell hus-
bands secret. His father left the
state and his brother, Ralph, defied
the grand jury. Ward was indicted
for murder, pleaded not guilty, and
after spending some time in jai!
succeeded in again obtaining his
freedom on bail.
