Honorable Artillery company here
tonight.

came to his great Office with a ma

proportionately than ever given to
any of his predecessors in any gcn-

of its solemn responsibilities He
entered upon his new duties with
characteristic modesty and that mod

the observance of forms which sur

the intelligence and useful conduct
Of life. especially in places of the
gravest responsibility. that it is too
often overlooked. and n misunder-
standing of a mans relations to the

others and often fatal to himself"
Senator Lodge said that the presi-
dent was "by nature very sympathet-

organization of the Veterans Bureau.
"He has another very great quail

The President said he thought the
day might come when the army and
military forces could be further re-
duced but added that for that time
we must await fuller reajustment
and more stable conditions"
II feel" he wrote, that the de-
velopment of our national defense

act is of the utmost Importance. and

Attempt to Secure

Jackson and Rogers - Later
Asked to Hep Get Attention

White Plains, n. Y, June g
Grand jury investigation having
been postponed until tomorrow, in.
terest in the Ward-Peters shooting
mystery ecntered today on the I'M
cussessful efforts of James c. Cum
ningham, held in Jail as a material
witness. to obtain his liberty, and
elimination by the Philadelphia DO
lice of John Cienzo as a figure in the
case.
Supreme court Justice Seeger, be-
fore whom cunningham was
brought, on writ of habeas corpus
held that Coroner Fitzgerald had no
right to detain Cunningham as a
material witness and ordered him
released.
Cunningham enjoyed two minutes
liberty in court until District Attor-
ney Weeks could get Justice See-er
to fix bail at $1,000 on an application
coroners. Bail was not produced
and Cunningham was led back to his
cell, although his lawyer. Maurice ].
! Mccarthy indicated that he would
have the money in the morning.
Mccarthy told the court that his
client was not involved in the black
mail plot described by Ward as the
cause of his meeting with Peters on
the night of May 10 when. according
to his story, he shot the eX-sailor in
self-defense and battled with two of
Peters confederates.
He said that Cunningham who
claims to be race track detective
had been approached. however, by
two men named Jackson and Rogers.
and asked Ito aid them in thwarting
a blackmail plot" and that he had
agreed to do so.
The next Cunningham heard Of the
matter his lawyer said. was when
Rogers telephoned him in the early
morning hours of May 1G, asking
him to aid in getting attention for
Jackson, who he said, had been shot
by Ward
He met Rogers and the wounded
man near his home. Mccarthy
quoted Cunningham as saying, but
their machine drove off when he re-
turned to the house to get an over
coat for the wounded man.
He later saw Rogers in Stamford,
but was informed Jackson was too
badly injured to be about. He has
not seen Jackson since. and does not
know where he is. according to Nc
Carthy.
Mr.. Weeks said Cunningham
would not be called tomorrow, but in
day or so. He expressed belief
that he was honestly trying to help
the authorities.
Ward, who is out on SoO,0GC bail.
made a flying visit to the Westches-
ter county Jail today to confront
Cunningham. Present at the meet
ing were Wards lawyers and Sheriff
Wernesr.
According to the sheriff, Cunning
ham greeted his visitor with:
Hello, Ward, how are you?"
Wards reply was:
What do you mean? I never met
you before"
"Oh. yes you did" replied Cum
ningham, according to Werner. You
probably do not know me with this
moustache."
