Kansas City, Me., June 7. "All
men are deceiver. A man cannot love
only one woman, and he's ever en the
alert for new heurts te win. When
they de win they grew weary of their
prize and become indifferent."
Peggv Marie Henl, who shot and
killed Frank Warren Andersen, Col Cel Col
llngsueort. N. !.. "the perfect lever,"
sobbed this declaration as she lny
prepped up in bed In a hospital here
tcdav.
V Ith tears In her eyes, she con
tinued. "I lmc killed a innn and the
whole world 'seems te be asking the

life nnd lecs, my most intimate affairs

"A jury is yelng te try mc and find

"Hut if all I nm going through new

"Hut In the one man I knew se well,

Adam.
"Warren More Daring"
"Warren, the innn I belleicd per
fect, was no different from ether men. I
believe lie was nieie daring that is all.
"Fer it is in all men te deceive. A
woman enn love hut one map. A mun
cannot love but one woman.
"Warren told mc he had loved fifty.
He wrote their names for me and told
n.e of their Intimate personalities,
their hair, their eyes und their manner
isms. " 'I love thfi all. Peg,' he said.
'It was then I realifd for the first
time the true nature of man.
"Since tben, as I lay here en my cot,
I hnve wondered nt the wisdom of mod
ern cMUzatli.n. When the world was
young, when Oed Himself spoke through
the tongue of Solemon and His chosen
people, man recognized the spirit of
polygamy within man.
"t de net believe it U I who failed.
I de net believe it Is the woman's
fault In the thousands upon thousands
of unhappy heart uffairs which fill vol
umes of newspaper space today.
"llnther it is the inborn spirit of
man.
"Seme nrc cowards of their con

"Guard Man Every Minute"
"De net guard a man tee closely,
the sob sisters of the press advise, lest

and seek companionship elsewhere.
"Guard him every minute if you

"I gave my reii! te Warren.
"When he hnd wen he grew weary

Phvslcians today pronounced Peggy
Ien the read te lecevery. With tills
' announcement, Cameren Orr. County
Prosecutor, said he would file a charge
of murder within the week.
Letters of praise for her courage In
sheeting Andersen nrc being received
by the former nurse nt the hospital.
One letter, from n Knsns City doc
ter and his wife, rend
"Our synipnthy is yours. The world
needs mere girls who hnve the courage

' cret, however, that you shot join self.
There Is nlentv te live for. The stars
nre un there vet and the flowers bloom

The theer.v that a new wemnn hnd
entered Andersen's life nnd wns the
cause of the trngeilv Is vouched for by
II. A. Miller who claims te have been
a personal friend of the dead man nnd
Miss Ileal. He told police hew Ander Ander

EVENING PUBLIC
DETECTIVES CHECK
Authorities Fellow Up Facts Re
luctantly Given by Wife
at Hearing
FORCED TO ANSWER QUERIES
White Plains. N. . June ".De
tectives for District Attorney Weeks
were busy today Investigating the state
ments made before the (Irnnd Jury c
terdny by Mrs. Ileryl Ward, wife of
Walter S. Ward, confessed slayer of
Clarence Peters. She was a reluctant
witness.
Net until nftcr she had been brought
before Supreme Court Justice Mor Mer
schnuscr in chnmbers did the young
woman reveal even a little of what
passed in her home en the evening be
fore and the morning of the sheeting.
Point In Ward's Faver
Mrs. Wnrd flnnlly fixed the nrrlvnl
home of her husband en the morning
of the sheeting nt about 4:30. This
Is a point in Ward's favor, os lie said
the fight which resulted In the death
of Peters started en the Kcnsice Res
ervoir rend nbeut 'i:" nnd that he
went home Immediately after the battle.
Heth the mnld nnd the nurse In the
Ward home nlse gnve the time of
Wnrd's arrival there ns 4:30 A. M.
Through the bank books nnd checks
nf Wnrd. Mr. Weeks hones te trace the
payments Wnrd snys he made of
sitfl.nne te blackmailers before tbev de
manded the additional $75,000 which
resulted In the death battle with Peters.
Mr. Weeks refused te say If Oeergc
S. Ward, father of young Ward, would
be called tomorrow when the Grand
Jury reconvenes.
Cunningham Minus nail
Counsel for James J, Cunningham,
whose story of a battle in the Wnrd
home and the death of Peters and the
wounding of another man there caused
his arrci.t ns a material witness, has
been unable te raise the $5000 bail
fixed for his relcnsc.
Cunningham seems te desire te re
tain his cell in the jail here and is net
over-nnieus te get his freedom since
it was reported that he had been threat
ened In notes sent him since his arrest.
Mrs. Wnrd rendlly answered the
routine questions ns te her nnme. the
name of her husband and their address.
Then District Attorney Weeks, It was
learned, nsked her :
"De veu remember whnt occurred en
the night of May 15?"
"I refuse te answer en the advice of
counsel." objected Mrs. Wnrd In the
cool, even tones with which she
answered the ether questions.
A few mere questions were nsked.
such ns "Was Clarence Peters ever in
jour home?" nnd "De ou knew any
thing of the plot te blackmail your
husband?" Mrs. Ward answered each
of these, it was ascertained, with the
replv formulated by the- War lawyers.
Theii came the conference with Jus
tice Merschnuscr. But even his ruling
did net greatly add te the sum of the
Information gained from the witness.
Supports Husband's Statement
Her stntement that Ward came home
at 4:110 A. M. coincides with her bus
band's story, and this was corroborated
by the two servants. The nurse nnd
maid betli denied knowledge of the
Identity of any of the persons who
are understood te have played enrds In
the Ward home en the night of the
sheeting, nnd no light was thrown en
this seclnl affair by Mrs. Ward.
It was learned last night, however,
that the grand jurors desire te question
Mrs. Wnrd further, nnd, although they
de net meet today, she probably will
he asked te nppear before them again
tomorrow. The Inquiry probably will
last. It was said by well-informed per-
-en. until next week.
When Mrs. Wnrd left the courthouse
at White Plains shortly before 3 o'clock
she wns esterted by Mr. Campbell.
She was smiling, quite at her ease. She
posed for photographers and then step
ped Inte mi automobile nnd stnrted back
te New Rechellc and her children.
The ether witnesses who testified be
fore the grand jurors yesterday did
little else than reci'c the fact neces

sult of the reductions which have al
ready slns.hcd $110,000,000 from the
wages of the workers. The wage cut is
effective Mny 1.
Meanwhile the beard is preparing te
hear disputes this month between shop
crafts cmplejes and some of the rail

B. M. Jewell, bend of the Railway
Kinple.vcs' Department of the Amerl
enn Federation of Laber, who is lead
ing the fight ngalnst the beard's or
ders, wns Informed that the first of
the henrlngs will be held tomorrow.
Twenty-one rallrendcrs nrc cited for
alleged unauthorized wage reductions
for the hearings, which arc expected te
continue several weeks.
It wns indicated today that no wnge
decision nffectlng telegraphers, the next
clnss of railway labor te be taken up
by the beard, will come from the beard
for some time.
The split In the Laber Beard ap
parently was widened by the latesv
wage reduction, the $60,000,000 slash
In the wages of shop craits empleyes.
The minority report by the three labor
representatives en the beard, severely
condemning the majority which ordered
the reductions, was still a topic et con
siderable discussion tedny, and pro
vided aiuimiiiltieii for union men who
nttneked the order.
Cincinnati, June ". (Iiy A. P.)
Laber leaders here expressed the opin
ion thnt it would take nt lenst thirty
days te sprend nnd canvass the strike
vote authorized yestcrdny by eleven
railroad brotherhoods nnd organiza
tions. The meetlnit of union bends at which
it was decided te authorize the strike
vote was presided ever by B. M. Jew
ell, president of the railroad depart
ment, American Federation of Laber.
Others present were W. II. Jehnsen,
machinists; J. A. Franklin, boiler
makers; J. J. Hynes, sheet mctnl work

nance of way ; E. J. Mnnlen. telegraph
ers; Timethy Henley, stationary fire
men, and I). W. Helt, signalmen.
In a formal statement it wns made
plain that no agreement wns reached
that concerted action would be taken.
This wns Impossible, It vvn8 explained,
hecausc the several executives nnd net
been ndvlsrd by their membership
whether or net they would be author

Mr. Jewell dcclured the vvngei of the
seven larger groups of rail workers,
under the new Rnllrend Laber Beard
orders, "de net permit of a living wage.

"The beard was offered evidence as
te the amount necessary te secure the
necessities nf life for railroad families,"
he snld. "The rates In this decision
are se far below these necessary that

Mr. Jewell charged that tables pub

CHINA IS DRIFTING
TOWARD CIVIL WAR
Sun Yat-Sen Refuses te Relin
quish His Presidency
at Canten
DANGER OF WORSE SPLIT
By the Associated Press
Peking, June 7. Developments of
the last twenty-four hours indicated
early today thnt China, which n few
days age seemed en the verge of n uni
fied Government located here, was In
grnve danger of n worse split thnn ever,
with the North nnd Seuth drifting only
toward civil wnr.
Wu Pei-Fu's plan for LI Yunn
Hung te resume the presidency of a
centralized government in Peking was
feared te have shatercd itself against a
rock of onnesltlon ln the form of Sun
Yat-Sen, who, according te advices re
ceived here yesterday, declared he
would refuse te relinquish tne presi
dency of his Seuth China Republic at
Canten. . ..
Wu had wen the support of aoeut juu
members of the old national pnrlla
ment. new assembled at Tientsin, and
they hnd urged ex-Fresldcnt LI te take
back the executive office from which he
was ousted by the militarists in ami.
LI, however, withheld his ncccptnnce
pending certain conditions, chief of
Which wns the dissolution of the Seuth
China Republic. Thus everything de
pended en Sun Ynt-Scn. If he nc
cedtd, there seemed no obstacle ln the
way of the scheme General Wu and his
supporters suggested, nfter he hnd con-
3uercd Chang Tse-Lln ln bnttle nnd
riven him back Inte Mnnchurln.
Since the resignation of Hsu Shlh
Chang as President, the Peking Gov
ernment the only government which
has been recognized by the foreign Pow
ers has been in the hands et a citi
zens' committee.
In the last ten days Wu several times
has said that unless Sun resigned the
Cblhll forces of Wu would invade the
Seuth China territory.
Reports yesterday also stated thnt
Sun had persuaded many members of
the old Pnrllnmcnt still In Canten
te rally around his standard. This, ac
cording te the Canten advices, was en
larging daily the scope of the opposing
camps.
Tientsin, June 7. In a remarkable
manifesto telegraphed throughout the
country today, denouncing scathingly
the military oligarchies thnt have re
duced China te political impotence, LI
Yuan-Hung has mm down tne condi
