AC0UIT WARD
ON CHARGE
OF MURDER
Crowd Rush to Ward Shower
ing AffectiOnate Attention
Upon Him

White Plains, N. Y, Sept. o.
Walter Ward acquitted yesterday
of the murder of Clarence Peters
former sailer, was at home with
his wife and children free man
today! A jury had found him not
guilty 4of the sinister crime that
had hung over his head 16 months.
The verdict resembled an ami
versary gift for yesterday was his
42nd birthday
A scene almost without parallel
was enacted in the court room
when the verdict was announced
The throng rose to its feet, pushed
and showed its way over benches
and ratings to Wards side. Most
Of the Jubilant ones were women,
and members of the same fash
ionable colony of Westchester coun-
ty. They grapsed Wards hand,
threw their arms about his neck
and some tried to kiss him. The
trial was the climax of long SER
les of events. Peters body was
found and there was scarcely q
paragraph of the incident in the
newspapers. A few days later ths
body was identified. 1T was no.
body" and that indictment also
virtually escaped notice. Them q
few days later Wards attorneys
came forward with a statement
that their client had killed Peters
in self defense as result Of q
blackmail plot against the wealthy
bakers son. ia.

ASKS ROADS
TO CONTINUE
IMMIGRATION
Railroads. Ought Not to Stop
Work Now, Governor Mes
tOs Writes To Them

Railroads operating in the North
west are urged by Governor Nestos
in letters not to retrench in their
immigration work at this time.
"Considering the large acreage Of
tillable but unframed land in North
Dakota, the large number Of unoccu-
pied farms, the finest soil in the
United States with the possibility Of
producing splendid crops Of at least
q dozen different varieties of farm
products, and these lands purchas-
able at low price or rentable on
splendid terms, there seemed to be
such an opening for immigration
work and such q chance to increase
the. revenues Of your road that the
president and the other chief Off
cials ought to add to the appropria-
,tion for immigration and industrial
development rather than to detract
from It," the Governor wrote the i'm
migration commissioner Of the Great
Northern railway.
!, The Governor said he was suggest
ing TO some North Dakota people
that To induce renters to come in
from the territory where they are
accustomed to handle cows, corn and
hogs that they grant them the privi-
lege Of using 10 to 20 percent Of the
cultivated area of farm free OF
sharge, if they farm the balance Of
the land properly.

PROVE MOSCOW
IS AT HEAD OF
BULGARS0VIE7
Documents Found on Com
munist Prisoners Show how :
Rebellion was Organized
MANY REDS KILLED

Sofia, Sept. 29.--Documents found
on Communist prisoners taken in the
capture Of Ferninandovo affords un-
denisbe proof of the government
statement that the rebellion was or
ganized and executed with the active
assistance of the Moscow assistance.
The locomotive which fell in the
hands of government troops at
Berkowitca was adorned with large
pictures Of Lein and Trotzky.
The legend Bulgarian state rail-
ways" had been erased and "Soviet
Republic Of Bulgaria" substituted.
The locomotive was used as decoy
to enlist the peasants under the
Communist Red flag, leaders announ-
cling that it had been sent from Mos
cow to haul carloads of machine guns
and rifles. The agrarians were told
that Sofia was in the hands Of the
Soviet regime and were Informed
that unless they joined the ranks OF
the Communists they would be shot.
Machine guhs and rifles districted
to the rural population under the
Stambuolski regime were shown to
the peasants as example of Moscow's
effective assistance. The bodies Of
200 communists were found inside the
Berkowitz lines after that place had
been stormed by the government
troops. Six hundred rebels were cap
tured, the survivors fleeing toward
the Roumanian frontier. The Rou-
manian government has officially
notified Sofia and also the frontier
authorities that all Communists seek
ing refuge in that country will be
turned back at the border.

New System Supplements

ing Largely Used in N. d.

Great good is being accom- ished
in. North Dakota by the new interme-
diate credit system established as a
result of an act of the last national
congress, in the opinion of Gilbert
Semingson, state examiner. Many
communities already have taken ad-
vantage of the aid offered through
the system but there still is oppor-
tunity for the organization Of many
associations in the state, the state
examiner added.
Thirtyseven credit associations
have been organized thus far, with
capital ranging from $4,000 to $50,
600. The associations may sell short
term agricultural and livestock
loans, running from nine months to
three years, to the federal interme-
diate banks. As each association may
borrow to the amount Of ten times
it's capital stock it is evident that
there is huge borrowing power
created in the state, Mr.. Semingson
pointed out.
According to other officials who
have come in contact with the sys-
tenn there is less "red tape" than ia

total has been brought down to less
than 100000. Collections for rent
on school lands, interest on farm

on farm purchase contracts is said
to be satisfactory, particularly with
respect to delinquencies.
