WARD DECLINED T0 ANSWER CERTAIN QUESTIONS White Plains, N: Y/ June §.—District Attorney Weeks registered satisfaction this afternoon when. Mrs. Walter S. Ward left the stand atter' having been direct>d by Supreme Court Justice Morchauser to answer certain qutstions yut to her by the grand jury in commection with its investigation of the shooting of Clar- ence Peters by her husband May 15. Although Mr. Weeks declined to dis- close what had taken place at the exam- ination, it was understood that Mrs. Ward had been questioned concerning the card party which was alleged 1o have been held in her home the night of the shooting. - Earlier in the day,it was réporfed that she had decuined o answer questions as to what time her husband returned on that night and how he looked. A4t a con- ference. in his ehambers, Justice Mor- ¢hauser was undérstood ‘to have .rule that while ghe might plead privilege if she were questioned concerning com- munications passing bétween ~her and Mr, Ward as man and wife, she would have to reply to queries concerning con versations at which a third persoa was preserit. “I am very much pleased, biit I cannot eay what I have accomplished,’ sald.Mr. Weeks at the close of the session, when adjournment was taken until Thursday. It was learned ' from othor sources, however, that the county iuthorities Te- | sarded the court’s ruling as a material aid to the investigation as it would per- mit questioning of Mrs. Ward concerning events preceding the shooting. The day's recess, it was understood, would be utilized to permit detectives to check up on certain phases of toduy's | testimony. Besldes Mrs. Ward, seven witnesses were heard today. They included two other metzbers of the Ward l:ousehold— Lulu Barrows, a nurse, and Amy Mild, the cook—but nothing. could bu wscer- tained as to the mature of thoir testl- mony. George Scherderman and George Lohr, linemen, who found the body of the ex- sallor on the roadside near Kensico res- ‘ervoir on the morning of May 16 were understood to have been questioncd re- garding their discovery. It was announced that other members of the Ward family, including George S. Ward, the fathe:, and Ralph, the brother, would be examined when the hearing was resumed Thursday. Counsel for James J.

He said he had been unable today to raise the $3,600 bail fixéd for Cunningham. Cunningham, whose business was de- fifled yesterday by his lawyer as “thwart- ing blackmail plots’ and who was sald by Mr. Weeks to be in jail because he shed to be there,” smiled today when questioned concerning a report that ha had received a death threat. Receiving reporters in the cell used by Harry K. Thaw when he was lodged 1n the county jail, Cunningham said: | “I have beeri in tight jams befors in my life. - T got out and I figure I can get out of this” In spite of Cunningham’s easy assur- ances, the report came from excellent sources that a message had been smu: gled in to his cell, With the warninj “Keep your mouth shut, or we will bump you oft.” This was said to bear the sig- nature of “Dan, the Dude,” who accord- ing to the authorities is the leader of a New York blackmailing band. It was reported tonight that Mrs. Ward had .pleadcd a haz memory to several important questions put to her in the grand. jury room. It was also said that her malds were unable to name the guests at the alleged “party” at the Ward home on the night of the slaying.

Washington, June 6.—An attack on former Senator Henry F. Lippitt, of Rhode Island, a eotton goods manufac- ‘tures, for alleged activities in the inter- est of high tariff protection for his pro- ducts and additional recessions by the finance committee majority from rates originally proposed, marked senate con- sifleration’today of the tariff bill. There also was a renewal of general lebate, Senator Harrison, democrat, /| Mississippi, repiying to the address de- livered yesterday by Senator Watson, republican, Indiana, In defense of the tarff measure. ~ Senator Harrison charged that the republicans had de- termined upon a policy of replying to attacks on the bill so that senate action might be delayed and the measure fi- nally killed in conference between . the house and semate after the November lections. The attack on' former Senator Lippitt was made by Senator Ashurst, demo- crat, Arizona, who expressed doubt of the “propriety and the ethics” of a man who had once been a semator and thus had entre to the senate chamber, inter- viewing his former colleagues here with a view fo increasing tariff duties from which he would profit financial Senator Ashurst read from an article in the New York World in which Mr. Lippitt was termed a “superlobbist” on the cotton schaTle of the tarif bill and sald there was a _story going around that the former senator had been ad- mitted to the secret sessions of the fi- nance committee majority after pro- ducers of Jong staple cotton in Arizoma had been heard. This brought a denial from Senator {Smoot, of Utah, ranking republican on | Chairman McCumber of the commits tee, called attention that the committes had recommended a rate of 7 cents & pound of long staple cotton which Sena- tor Ashurst had explained was the raw material used by Mr. Lippitt in the pro- duction of fine grades of cotton goods. Rates from which the committee re- ceded today~included those on cut malis and spikes, horseshoe nafls, horseshos rivets and studs, and steel and iron screws. On cut nails the duty of 36 per cent ad valorem originally recom- mended was cut in half, the vote being 55 to 1, with Senator Wadsworth, re- publican, New York, casting the single negative vote. The duty on horseshos nails was reduced from 2 1-2 cents a pound to 1 1-2 cent and the 40 per cént proposed for rivets and studs was re- duced to 30 per cent. On horseshoes the rate was made 1-5 cents a pound instead of threefifths, LIPPITT ANSWERS THE ATTACK OF ASHURSY Providence, R. I, Juns 6 —Former Senator Henry F. Lippitt of Rhode Isi- and, in answer to the attack made in Washington today by Senator Ashurst of ' Arizona, declared that although a democrat, the Arizona semator had re- cently expressed to him in ths course of a 30-minute conference in Washing- ton his interest in having = very heavy duty placed on long staple cotton, am Arizona product, and the kind used in the Lippitt Mills and had thanked him for his interest for his work. Asked if he had been present at ges- sions of the committee, Mr. Lippitt re- He added that he did not see member that he had attended such meet~ inge. much inflience with the committee in changing the rates. e — ANTHRACITE MINERS REJECT THE ARBITRATION OFFER COMPLAINT OF DISCRIMINATION | AGAINST ORGANIZED LABOR tion offer as submitted last week by the operators of the hard coal fleid.
