WARD PLEADS NOT
GUILTY TO MURDER
WHEN ARRAIGNED
White Plains, N. Y.. June 17.—Ar
raigned before Supreme Court Justice
Sdorschauser on an indictment for the
first degree murder of Clarence Peters
ex-sailor, to which he pleaded not
guilty, Walter S. Ward, wealthy bak
er’s son, last night was locked in a
common cell of the Westchester coun
ty jail, with admirable prospects of
.spending the summer there.
To Ward’s counsel, who pleaded for
an early trial, Justic Morschauser re
plied curtly that Ward would have to
take his turn with other prisoners
awaiting trial among whom, he men
tioned in passing, was one colored
man who had been awaiting trial for
several months, and who would get
his day in court ahead of Ward.
Justice Morsehauser said his tsrm
in White Plains ended June 30 and he
was not inclined to stay over to try
Ward’s case. If the defense could in
duce District Attorney Weeks to move
for an early trial, it was possible Jus
tice Topmkins could be induced to try
it in July, he said.
Mr. Weeks announced later, how
ever, that it probably wopld be Octo
ber before he would be ready to pro
ceed with the trial. In the meantime
Ward, who is accused of a non bail
able offense, must remain in jail un
less he succeeds in getting the indict
ment against him dismissed.
It was intimated his counsel might
try this by the expedient of applying
for permission to inspect the minutes
of the grand jury which indicted him
and then applying for dismissal on the
ground that the indictment was based
on insufficient evidence.
District Attorney Weeks hopes to
begin building up his case against
Ward further next week at a special
inquiry before Justice Morschauser
into the question whether Ward and
his relatives have conspired to defeat
the ends of justice.
Ward’s father, George S. Ward,
president of the Ward Banking Com
pany. has been eagerly sought as a
grand jury witness to tell what he
knows about the blackmail plot which
Ward claims led up to the Peters kill
ing. He has been in Pennsylvania
since the subpoena for him was issued-
His extradition as a witness is not
possible, but if Justice Morschauser
held a conspiracy had been proved,
Ward, Sr., could be extradited to
answer that charge against him and
be forced to tell what he knows about
the case.

SAYS KU KLUX KlAN IS i
PRODUCTIVE OF CRIME:
Orlando, Fla., June 17.—Declaring
that there is no place for “an invisible
empire" within the United States and
characterizing the “usurpation of gov
ernmental functions” by the Ku Klux
Klan. or any other organization
destined to do an inestimable wrong
to society, United States Judge Henry
D. Clayton assailed the policies and
principles of such societies In fiery
phraseology yesterday in an address
before the Florida State Bar Associa
tion
“It is true,” Judge Clayton said,
“that the people have a right to revo
lutionize or change their government
whenever they see fit to do so, but it
's quite a different thing for that set of
men to undertake outside of the law
to declare that the government is in
efficient and to abrogate to them
selves the power to furnish supple
mental remedies-”
“There is no place," the speaker con
tinued, “for an invisible empire within
the United States, nor auy reason for
clan or gang to do any part of the)
business of governing or correcting or
punishing citizens. A secret organiza
tion for such purpoaea ia reprehensible
notwithstanding avowals of its mem
bers that they have sworn to uphold
the constitution of the United States.
Such avowals and such oaths cannot
defeat the just charge that these or
ganizations are conspiracies against
law and government.”
Judge Clayton said he would cite the
case of “an eminent citizen of Ala
bama." who, he said, joined the klan
and later discovered that a regular
"docket* was maintained containing
“cases” against citizens of the state-
'After he had succeeded in clearing
this ‘docket’ many of whose cases in
volved mere personal grievances or
spite, this good man had abandoned
his fellowship,” the speaker said, add
ing that “organizations such as this
have had no place in our land, they are
not useful in the governing business
and cannot fail to be productive of
crime." Discussing what he termed
the methods of the klan, Judge Clay
ton declared, "they are practiced un
der shrouds and behind masks and in
darkness, inherent evidence of coward
ice."

BAD CHECK LAW IS HELD
TO BE UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Atlanta, Ga., June 17.—The bad
check law was held unconstitutional
by the Georgia Supreme Court in a de
cision recently handed down.
The case came from the Savannah
city court where M. Corenblum was
prosecuted and convicted on a charge
of giving a check without funds to
cover the same. He moved for a new
trial on the grounds that the provision
of the state banking law under which
he was convicted was unconstitutional
because it was not covered In the cap
tion of the law.
The status of the check law In
Georgia thus reverts to the original
law allowing thirty days to make it
good, which was passed prior to the
Georgia state banking law which was
nullified by the court’s decision
«n the city today.

Produce More Milk at Lower Cost
That's the way to make a profit nowadays. Horace M. Jones,
extension dairy specialist of the South Dakota College of Agri
culture at BrocLingc, cays:
"The ultimate aim of dairy fanning it to produce ,
a profit from milking cows. Profit, contisl in re
ducing the cost of production to the very lowest
possible point. This can be accomplished, not by re
ducing the amount of feed given a cow, but by ad
ministering feeds in such proportions and in such
quantity a, will cause the cow
to reach her maximum produc
tion.”
Cows cn pasture need some con-
, centratc because grass lacks the
proper milk-making elements. Purina
Cow Chow supplies what grass lacks.
Cow Chow cuts the cost per gallon
of producing milk—gets more milk
from fewer cows.
Cow Chow will put the proof of
more summer milk profits right in
the milk pail.
