Y, June 8 —An- other clug tending to substantiat: the story of James J. Cunningham, race track ‘‘detective,” that Walter § Ward shot and killed Clarence Peters, former sailor, at the Ward home in New Rochelle on the night of May 15, bobbed up today. The new clue was in the form of a | letter, unsealed and unstamped, which Benjamin Kendall, a White Plains garage employve, turned over to the authorities with the explanation that | he found it in the coupe of J. Frank- lin Burke, of Scarsdale, left at the garage Monday night to be washed. | The letter, addressed to Mrs. Charle Dubois, of Atlantic Highlands, N. J., read in part, according to Kendall “Frank was there when it happen ed and left at 10:30 from Ward's car at all mine. Walt didn't arrive until although Beryl was waliting."” Ward has maintained that the kill ing occurred near Kensico reservoir where Peter's body was found. He 94 alto told of a pistol battle there with | “Charley Ross,” and a man known to him only as “Jack,” who, he said attacked him after he had slain Peters when the latter menaced him with a pistol in an effort to extort blackmail. One shot went through the window of his coupe, he said. Cunningham, held as a materfal witness since a New York newspaper turned him over to the authorities, maintained the shooting took place at ‘Ward's home and the authorities have inclined to this belief, although they have not made public any strong proof tending to support that theory. Kendall declared today that vflen Mrs. Burke called for the coupe last Tuesday, she inquired anxiously after the letter. Mr. Burke, who is connected with a New York woolen company, de- clared the letter had no bearing on the Ward case, and that neither he nor his wife had atiended the card party at the Ward howa on toe might of the killing. Referring to the statement con- cerning the broken glass in the car, he admitted the glass in his car had been broken accidentally in starting the machine. Mrs. Alfred H. Hook who lives across the street from the Wards and whose Christian name, Frances, is ab- breviated to ‘““Fran” by her close friends admitted to newspapermen to- day that she was at the Ward card party on the night of the Peters’ shooting. She said Mrs. Burke was there ‘also. “Was there any shooting Ward house?”’ she was asked. ‘‘Positively none—there was no dis- turbance of any kind,” she said. “Why had the information that the glass in Mrs. Burke's car had been broken not been made public when (Continued on Page Fourteen) K. .

Councilman Lynch's plan will make necessary the construction of a new road about one-half mile in length in the Town of Newington, so con- structed that it will not be necessary to cross rallroad tracks until the center of the town is reached. At this point the tracks are protected by gates, making it equally as safe as the Main street crossing in this city, the councilman asserts. An additional advantage of lesser imnortance, ibut ‘yet worthv eof con Mruan dsnch peints out, is the fact that a new route to Hartford, about two miles shorter than any other route now in use, will be effected through the carrying out of his idea. Plan of Payment.. Payment of the half mile of high- way would be taken care of by split- ting the expense four ways, each of the four Interested parties paying one-quarter. The sixth warder feels that the Town of Newington, State of Connecticut, City of New Britain and New Haven road would be willing to pay a share toward constructing the new highway. Considering the difficulties of rais- ing large sums of money in towns the size of Newington, Mr. Lynch has pre- pared for a possible refusal by that town to pay its one-fourth share. In that event he would suggest that the town deed to New Britain the strip of land lying between the railroad tracks to the west, and east of the highway as far as the Roper residence in Newington.

Belgrade, June 3-—Medieval pomp and eplendor marked the wedding here today of King Alexander of Jugoslavia and Princess Marie of Ru- mania. Nearly every nation in the Old and New World was represented at the ceremony, which linked the dynasties of three Balkan countries, forming a powerful barrier against future wars in this turbulent part of Furope. main unmatched for a long time in Balkan annals for its political signi- ficance; the lavishness and beauty of its settings; the enthusiasm and fervor of the people; the picturesqueness of the processions, and the quaintness of the presents to the bride and groom. The Bridal Gown. The bridal gown was an antique creation of white crepe gedrgette, with long court train, embroidered in pure silver and crystals, and the Princess wore over her tulle veil a shower of scintillating gold strands. She was a picture of girlish beauty, dignity and grace as she was escorted to the altar by her father, King Ferdinand of Rumania. From her shonlders fell a large court mantle in brilliant sil- ver, at the lower end of which the double arms of Rumania and Jugo- slavia were embroidered in silver and gold. King Alexander presented his bride with a massive crown of gold, set with diamonds and rubies, each province of Jugoslavia having con- tributed a precious stone to the dia- dem. King in Army Drese. The king, who entered the church arm in arm with Queen Marie, his fufure mother-in-law, wore the bright fulldress uniform of a Serbian gen- eral. His best man was the Duke of York, son of King George of England. The Queen of Rumania, who has come to be known as the “Mother-in- Law of the Balkans,” looked almost as youthful as the daughfer she gave in marriage, She dominated the en- tire ceremony, and next to the bride was easily the mo.$ conspicuous and charming fignre in the « cathedral; (Whes she wal J0aF saseiviig the cony {gratumtions of her fifends, she wazs busy giving directions for the execus tion of the wedding. No Civil Ceremony. . The marriage was solemnized by the Serbian Patriarch in the ancient Byzantine cathedral of Belgrade. accordance with Serblan custom, there was no civil ceremony. As the bride and groom walked up the aisle a Te Deum was sung. The marble altar, resplendent in porphyry and gold was tastefully decorated with lillics and roses, among which the national colors of Rumania and Jugoslavia were intertwined. The bridesmaids were Princess Tly- ena, the 13-year-old sister of the bride; her cousin, Grand Duchess Cyril of Russia, 14 years old; and the 8-year-old daughter of Princess Helen of Russia, sister of King Alexander, whose husband was killed by the Bol- sheviki.

The prevailing conviction among bankers is that two things are funda- mental to a loan: , that there must be unanimity among the lenders, which were to in- clude all the countries represented on the reparations commission. Second, that the credit basis of Germany must be outlined clearly. The bankers look upon the repara- tions commision’'s reply to their re- cent note as an official declaration that unanitily dtes not exist among the prospective lenders, and therefore feet that plans for a loan cannot be advised, Takes lirink From éottle, Is Dead in Three Minutes South Norwalk, June & —Silvione Bostone; an employve of the Roway- ton greenhonses, found a bottle half filled with what he thought was Ii- qnor last night and drank it.

Increase. That business in New Britain, es- pecially among the hardware manu- | facturing concerns, is improving, slowly but steadily, is felt by local metchants and admitted by manufac- turing concerns. Many signs would indicate the same thing. The abolishment of the city labor bureau some time ago, with the state- ment by the mayor that there was no more need for it, wus the first sign of returning prospertity. The rush for June wedding licenses at the city clerk’s office is another sign. Building Operations. The building operations, several ac- counts of which have appeared in re- cent editions of The Herald and which are more active now than they have been for years, is another very good indication Persistent rumors that manufacturing concerns are withdrawing certain brands of build- ers' hardware from the market be- .cause of the fact that orders are comig in faster than the goods are being produced, all indicate that pros- perity is well on its way.

Danielson, June $.—The man's body | found beside a pile of ties used in an atempt to wreck a freight train be- low here late last night was partly| identified today as that of Charles Jencks of Providence, R. I. This identification, which is expect- |ed to be completed when Mrs. Jencks |ana her mother-in-law arrive by au-| |tomobile from Providence, does not |clear up the mystery of the obstrue- tion on the tracks. Several railroad ties bound with heavy fence wire had been attached to | the rails of the line between Worces- |ter and New London about two miles | south of here. Marks on the man in- | dicated that a portion of this wire had | been wound around his neck. The body was devold of shoes, coat and | vest.

McCue Detective Sergeant W. P. McCue arrested Mary and Annie Anjula, and Mary and Katie Mark, gypsies, yes- terday afternoon for violation of the state statutes relative to the prac- tice of phrenology as a science by Wwhich the future may be told through a ‘reading” of the bumps on the head. Arraigned in court this mern- ing, the accused pleaded guilty through Lawyer David L. Nair and George I, Witt. Each was fined $35 and costs, The fines in the cases of Mary and Katie Anjula were paid, but Mary Mark and Annie Anjula were taken back to the cells where they had spent the night when they were un- able to pay. Since each has a child only a few months old, their release within a few hours was expected. Sergeant McCue had received sev- eral reports concerning the activities of the gypsies, Yesterday two young women told the police officer that they had been to establishments conducted by the accused on East Main street, Main street, and La- fayette street, and in all three places, had the bumps on their heads ‘'read” and their fortunes told through the medium of palmistry. They paid 50 cents in each instance. Prosecutor J. G. Woods branded the accused as a nuisance to the com- munity that should be eradicated by putting the effenders out of the city. Lawyer Nair felt the ends of jus- tice would be met by giving the pris- oners until Saturday to get out. Judge Klett commenting upen the case, r¢ narked thai ‘e was familiar with such cases over a period of sev- eral years. Oftentimes, he said, af- ter the gypsies leave town reports come in of poor, ignorant persons having been victimized with heavy loss of money. The phrenology prac- ticed is but a subterfuge, Judge Klett felt. State Policeman Arthur N. Ruther- ford arrested Henry Warenberger of Plainville, last night on West Main street, on charges of reckless driving. He pleaded guilty this morning an paid a fine of $50. 5 Policeman Rutherford followed the accused along the highway at a rate of 55 miles an hour. Seven automo- biles were passed out on the way. The accused came to a stop when he just grazed a woman and child and when he did so he was placed un- der arrest. He had no defense to offer. The state policeman told the court that his only explanation last night was that he had an appointment with a young woman and was,In a hurry. PREFERS DEATH T0 WEDDING New Brunswick, N.

L ) Washington, June 8.—An effort to present the soldiers’ bonus bill to the senate today was blocked by Senator Williams, democrat, Mississippi. Chalrman McCumber of the finance committee gave notice that he would make another effort later in the day to get the measure to the senate cale endar. Chairman MecCumber of the finanee committee will offer an accompanying report placing the probable cost te the federal government at $3,845,- 659,481 spread over a period of 43 years from next January 1. This is approximately $260,000,000 less than the estimate under the house hill, which was $4,095,719,350, payabie over 20 years. Cost Might Be 4 Billion. The senate bill estimate was pre- pared by treasury experts and is bas- ed on the theory that 75 per cent of the 4,458,199 veterans who would be eligible for compensation weuld elect the adjusted service certificate option; 22% per cent farm home and land settiement aid and two and one- half per cent vocational training aid. Should all of the veterans select the certificate plan the total cost would be $4,486,545,975. Financing Methods. With reference to financing the legislation, Chairman McCumber's re- port sald it was hoped that the re- duction in governmental expenditures plus the payment of interest on the refunded foreign obligations would be sufficient to obviate the imposition of additional taxation. Taxes Possible Later “1f it does become necessary to im- pose additional faxes,' the report con- tinued, “it is believed we can better determine the amount of the neces- sary levy and the methods of distrib- uting such burdens for the future-at a later date when the future condi- tion of the treasury will be more ace curately established. Want Foreign Payments. As to the refunded foreign obliga- tions, the hope was expressed that these soon would be obtained and “that it will be possible for the for- eigh governments to provide for the immediate payment of interest there- on, 8o that such interest can be used toward defraying the expense caused under this act.” $242,000,000 in 3 Years. Senator McCumber explained that an attempt had been made to reduce to a minimum actual cash payments under the bill during the next three years while the treasury is engaged in refunding the nearly seven billions of dollars of maturing government obligations, The estimated cost of the bonus for these three years was $242,000,000. After its presentation to the renate, the bonus bill went to the calendar where it will remain until there is an agreement to call it up. Senator Mec- Cumber and some other propogents desire early action but several re- publican leaders are opposed to side- tracking the tariff bill as they expeet the fight over the bonus to consume at least a month and perhaps six weeks. Is Different Measure. This measure differs somewhat from the house bill and very widely from the bonus bill that was report- ed to the senate last year and later sent back to the finance committes at the request of President Harding. The most important change from the original measure is the elimination of {(ho cash bonus and reclamation fea~ tures. As now drafted the legislation would give each veteran the right to select any one of the following plans: Various Plans.
