to tan the opposition in the Senate
TO the 'protectfve" iron and steel

SENATOR IAFollette, Republican.
of Wisconsin,. member of thefSenate

made at New York City that the

and thatywithstwo big steelicombl-

WARD MAY REMAIN
IN JAIL TILL FALL
Gloomy Prospect if Plea for
Dismissal of Murder In.
diCtment Fails.
By the Associated Press.

IL
WHITE PLAINS. N. Y. June H.
Walter S. Ward, wealthy bakers son,
charged with the murder Of Clarence
Peters on May 15. tonight settled
down to a quiet week end in jail
with no more skirmishes in his fight
for freedom scheduled until Monday,
Developments, however, are in
dicated for next week.
First, it is believed his counsel will
move for dismissal of the indictment
II this is denied, Ward will have
to remain behind the bars until fall
for no bail can be set in a murder
case, and his case probably will no,
be called for several months.
The second expected development II
holding of the long-delayed coroneri
inquest. The purpose of this. 1t was
reported in the courthouse, was to
establish that Ward and no one else
killed Peters. Coroner Fitzgerald
was not specific as to the date oi
tie inquest, but said it would be
early in the week"
The third possibility which mex,
week holds is pressing OF the com
plant that George S. Ward, the pris-
oner's father, now reported travelling
west. was guilty of conspiring with
his son to thwart justice by keeping
outside the state, so that he could
not be subpoenaed as a witness.
Meanwhile Ward apparently will
enjoy no more privileges than the
humblest inmate of the Jail. Orders
we're issued that no visitors were tc
be admitted to his cell except dur
ing the regular visiting hours or
Wednesday and Saturday. No one
inquired for him today.
