bring about q resumption Of nego.
tiations@-such as the issuance of
formal requests that the warning
factions make one more effort to
get together.
Neither the coal operators nor
mine workers officials made any
move, however, to resume negotia-
tions for q new agreement to take
the place Of the one expiring
August 81. Outwar1ly both sides
maintained an attitude of indif-
ference as to what action the Gov
eminent might take.
There were some indications that
despite the statement on the qucs-
tons Of a wage increase and arhi-
tration Of the workers eleven de-

still hope something will happen
that will make it possible for them
to go back. without loss Of dignity,

WARD PLOTTED
To KILL, SAYS
CHAUFFEUR
Tells Grand Jury He Met
Bakers Son Shortly
After Staying.
NEW YORK. Aug. 23.-A

NEW YORK, Aug. pa de-
scription Of an early morning
meeting with Walter s. Ward a
few hours after he had shot
Clarence Peters, an admission of
his friendship with Ward, Peters,
Charley Ross and Jack Rogers
and a statement that the killing
Of Peters was planned by Ward
in advance, all went to make up
the startling story told by Viii
liam Mundia to the Ward grand
jury.
Chauffeur Tells Story.
Mundia, chauffeur, now held in
the Harlem prison on a larceny
charge, was one of the secret wit
nesses introduced by the Attorney
General to the grand jury which
recently indicted Ward for murder
in the first degree.
For the first time, the astound.
ing tale Of this man, who claims
an intimate relationship with all
the principals in the Peters killing,
became public in detail yesterday
when the Ward attorneys gave out
parts of the grand jury minutes.
Mundia claims that he was intro
duced to Ward in Cushman's. a
cabaret in Greenwich Village. He
claims that on numerous occasions
he saw Ward there in the company
OF women.
COntradictS Himself.
On numerous occasions in his
testimony Mundia contradicted him
self. He was unable. according to
the grand jury minutes. to name
any person who might corroborate
his statements.
Mundia claims that about 2 a. m.
May 16, he left New York in an
automobile for Troy to purchase
four cases of whiskey. He testified
that on Two Hundred and Four
teenth street, he noticed the Ward
coupe approaching.

FAIRPORT, Ohio. Aug. 2S.-I re-
signed yesterday as Mayor of Fair
port because I have, after q bitter
fight Of nInteen months, at last
succeeded in clamping the lid on
and beating the boetleggers here to
a finish.
Outside Fairport, however, condi-
tons are so damp that It Is safe
to say more hooch flows every
twenty.four hours than all the
water that goes over Niagara in a
week.
No. a Mayors Job Is not too
strenuous for q woman. At a mass
meeting last evening In FairporO
the citizens declared my admtnistra'
ton the best in years-and all my
predecessors were men.
Prohibition made many hypocr1ts
and bootleggers along about the
time I took office. The bootleggers
in Fairport organized union ana
wore white mule buttons to keep
from selling to one anotner.
After I chased them out OF Fair
port, they left town In filvVers.
went down to Cleveland for a few
months. and drove back In IL
mousines.
The first raid I made in Fair
port was on an undertaker's estab-
lishment. The hooch he sold helped
along his business immensely, and
he stored It in a zinc lined coffin
with a spigot on the side. con-
fiscated q score of large bottles
labelled embalming fluid that
proved to be hooch with enough
power in to make tin Buddha do
q war dance.
So far as prohibition goes. you
can lead a horse to water but
you can't make him drink, nor
can you make the average man
drink water if there's a bootlegger
within a mile.

Foot Ball To- The Fore
In Maryland Colleges
Continued from Page 1.

Hopkins made an excellent showing
against Princeton and, as the State
championship generally depends upon
her game with Maryland "a grilling
fight may be looked for when these
two meet.
Mt. ST. Mary's has not shown much
yet; her team seems to be slow in as
sembling and she may not get to go
ing much before the State contests.
She has been decisively defeated in
the games she has played but may
round into form before very long.
These are about the only elevens
that figure in the college football sea-
son for Maryland. The recent Mary
land Conference has for one object ]
general exchange of athletic courte-
sizes, and it is to be hoped something
may be done along, this line.
