WHITE PLAINS, N. Y, September
29.--Walter S. Ward, acquitted yes
terday of the charge of numbering
Clarence Peters, former sailor, was
at home with his wife and children
today, a free man. A jury had found
him not guilty of the charge 'ha'
has hung over his head Tor sixteen
months. The verdict resembled an
anniversary gift, for yesterday was
Wards thirty-second birthday.
A scene almost without paraliei
was enacted in the courtroom "heh
the verdict was announced Inc
throng of spectators rose to Its teet'
pushed and showed its way over
chairs, benches and the raining 70
Wards side. Most Of the JupiLant
ones were women and many OF tnei'
were members of the fashionable col
ony of Westchester county. They
grasped Wards hands: they threw
their arms about his neck and some
of them tried to kiss him.
Wife COllapses.
In a little ante-room, where teleg-
raphers sent the news TO hundreds
of newspapers. there STOOD Beryi
Curtis Ward wife of the defendant
waiting. Her law, Ralph
Ward, was the first to bring the It'd
ings to her.
THANK God" she murmured. and
sank into Ralph's arms.
The trial was the climax OF long
series of events in connection with
the killing. Peters body was found
and there was scarcely paragraph
mention of the incident in the news
papers. A few days later the body
was identified. He was a nobody
and that incident also virtually es-
capped notice. Then few days later
Wards attorneys came forward with
a statement that their client had Kill
ed Peters in self-defense as the result
of a blackmail plot against the
wealthy bakers son.
Defense Calls No Witness.
The case leaped into prominence
Ward was indicted. The first indict-
ment was dismissed, then Gov. Smith
called a special grand jury which
again returned an indictment.
In all these proceedings the black
mail secret never was barred. 1t was
not even barred at the trial, for the
defense did not call a witness and
Ward was not placed on the stand.

CUBAN TARAFA BILL
DELAY URGED HERE
U. S. Suggests Legal Enjoys
of Sugar interests Be Heard
Before Measure Signed.

Pending arrival in Cuba of counsel
tor american sugar interests, the
Washington government has suggest
ed to President Zayas that his sigma
ture to the Tarafa railroad consolida-
tion bill which has passed both
houses of the Cuban congress be
withheld.
AT conferences at the State Depart
ment yesterday officials here were ad-
vised that the American interests
were not satisfied that all confisca-
tory provisions affecting American
holdings had been eliminated from
the bill. Protests against the meas
ure in its final form are to be lodged
legal representatives of the American
sugar concerns on their arrival in
Havana.
U. s. Withholds Opinion.
The Washington government has
expressed no attitude on the bill, since
it has no authentic copies of the
measure as it was finally enacted by
the Cuban congress.
Secretary Hughes conferred yester-
day with Wilbur l.. Cummings, rep
resenting American sugar interests in
Cuba, regarding the status of the
Tarafa bill.
When the Tarafa bill was first in
troduced the American interests in
volved protested to the State Depart
ment that it was confiScatory, and
after diplomatic exchanges with
Cuba, the original measure was
amended. The amendments were un-
derstood at the time to have been in
accord with agreements reached in
conferences in this country between
the author of the bill and the Ameri-
can interests involved.
The text of the law as it passed the
Cuban house did not reach the State
Department until yesterday.
