"Big Tim" Murphy and two other Chicago union heads held on murder charges in connection with the gang terrorism were released on $75,000 bond, each today. Judge Harry B. Miller set the figure in habeas corpus proceedings. The two involved with Murphy were Fred Mader. president of the Building Trades Council, and Con" Shea. Murphy and Mader paid heavily for their liberty, however, for their release on bond was accomplished only after they had promised virtually complete withdrawal from all labor union activi ties in Chicago. Bonds for their release were signed by Thomas Carey, millionaire brick manufacturer and prominent Democratic politician. Before agreeing to sign the bonds, Carey held a private conference with the labor- leaders and extracted from Mader a promise that he would resign as president of the Building Trades Council and from Murphy that he would sever all connection with the council affairs. "If they do not quit," Carey said. I'll surrender them to the authorities." Mader and Murphy confirmed the agreement announced by Carey.- Alleged Robbery On ContclasiSfr dence Indicates - Er "long the professional arook may rave to "consult, his .attorney before agreeing with his companion in crime on the division of Ul-sotteti ; loot.

(WASHING TON BUREAU OF THE JOURN AO Poor team work between the White House and the interstate commerce bom mission in dealing with reduction of rail road freight rates ia attracting attention as a result of the commssion's reduced rate decision just a fewdays after Presi dent Harding had called leading rail road executives to Washington to confer with him, with a view; to cutting rates. Since the commission's opinion became public the president's jvoluntary reduc tion plan" has gone to smash. Whether the commission hurried its decision; is a question that cannot be officially an swered, but the best opinion ia that it did not. The commission, it Menw, an nounced its conclusions in the regular coarse of business, having prepared them for "the printer before the time the presi dent began to fuss around with the; rail road officials. ! In some quarters there is a disposition to blame the president! for "butting in. since every one knew that, the entire question of rate reductions was before the interstate commerce commission after a long series of careful hearings. The matter was under advisement and a decision expected almost any day, when along came announcement that the 'pres ident hoped to secure voluntarily reduc tions by calling the railroad presidents to the White House.

SOVIET. IS REPORT EXPOSURES IN REACH HIGH Former Government Officials to Be Involved in Disclosures of Illegal Money-Grabbers, As sert Republicans in Congress. .Washington, May 27. (V. P.) "Sen sational exposures' involving former high government officials, will be made soon in 'connection with alleged war frauds, according to word that was going the rounds in Republican ranks in congress today. In both the senate and house corri dors, the "tip"' was passed among ma jority members that "political attacks" on Attorney General Daugherty would be answered by dramatic action. As one house Republican a close friend of Daugherty put It. "the lid is about to be blown off this war graft thing and the mess that will be re vealed to view will not make a pleasant sight for some of those who have been so viciously assailing the present ad ministration." SOURCE HELD CREDITABLE The report that "disclosures" are to be made apparently originates from a source close to the department of jus tice. 4 A direct charge that officials of the last administration were guilty of prac ticing frauds on the government under stress of war was made by Represen tative Rea vis, Nebraska. Re a vis, who will resign soon to ; as sist in the promised prosecution of grafters, declared "no crook outside the government ever robbed the gov ernment without the aid of some croak inside." ' Meanwhile Daugherty has annoinced that the war frauds organization of the department is now virtually complete and that It probably would be ready (Concluded on Page Two, Column Ooel U. S.

Thorough 1 ex amination of all the facts and official communications between Mexico- and the United States relative to recognition of the pbregon government lends only to an inexplicable attitude en th part of the Mexican authorities. Why do they hesitate to grant simple requests of, the department -of state for a reciprocal understanding? All sorts of curious impressions seem to have been spread about to the effect that the United States was demanding something extraordinary, something which would offend Mexican pride and sovereignty to accept. WASTED LEASES it has even been stated that the United States is not satisfied to get an assur ance ' that all titles to property held prior to the adoption of the Mexican constitution in May. 1917, shall be valid, but is asking for 'the validation, of titles to property acquired since that date. This statement is absolutely without foundation. - Similarly it has been bandied about in Mexican-American circles that . the United States wanted the Tight i .for Americans to own land on the same basis as Mexicans. Careful - examin ation of the text in the clause in the treaty on this point will show that the Urjited States did not ask for the right to own, but merely to lease for com mercial purposes subject, of course, to Mexican laws. MEXICANS TJ-SDEBSTAIfD The United States and Japan have such a provision in their treaties and it is absolutely essential from the Mex ican viewpoint that foreign capital shall at least be encouraged to the extent of being permitted to rent land for ware houses, factories and other commercial structures.

Ward, conesscd slayer of Clarence Peters, was ' released from the West Chester jail this ; afternoon after his attorneys had posted $30,000 bond. The wealthy young baker walked out of the jail at 3:20 p. nv. gave newspa per reporters the slip and left White Plains in a fast motor, presumably for his home in New Rochellc. Ward applied to Justice Sceger for bay after Justice Young In White Plains yesterday refused to release1 him on a writ of habeas corpus. BLOODSTAINS FOUND AT . WARD HOME CHANGE ASPECT White Plains, N. Y., May 27. Finger prints on a playing card, t"ne five of spades, and bloodstains found on the back steps of the palatial new home of Walter S. Ward, have tended to change the entire circumstances surrounding the mysterious slaying of Clarence Peters, foirn. r sailor and alleged blackmailer. There is also belief in some quarters that an unidentified woman ; is the key to the mystery. Finding of the blood stains at Ward's honre created a sensation among the large corps of 'Investigators who are endeavoring to learn why the police com missioner of New Rochelle, who resign-.d yesterday, gave as he said 30. 000 to the man he slew. i - j WINDSHIELD FRAGMENTS j At the foot of. toe steps j where the stains were found were a .'number of fragments from the- windshield of an automobile, and a short distance La way was found a playing card still' bearing a- distinct fcsger -print despite the faot (CoacliuM Fa Thr. Coluna Two. ) Two showmen were arrested for gambling and one patrolman was sus pended from the police force for drunk enness in a raid late last night on the Greater Sheesly Shows, located yester day at East Third and Oregob streets. The raid was conducted by Captain Inskeep, of the first night : relief, and Inspector Tichenor. The management of the shows in vited the police a few days! ago to In spect their grounds and to see if any thing was being conducted; which did not meet with official approval. The police did so and reported that all was well with the exception of some "tip board s." ' POLICEMAN SUSPENDED The officers stated the boards: would be allowed to run provided certain rules were changed to allow skill to; enter into the game instead of chance. The management consented to do so, but the police later heard that the shows were running wide open again. The raid Friday night was the result James Aystin, 42. and James W. Mitch ell, 37, were arrested and released under bail of $25 each. j Captain Inskeep stated he found Pa trolman S. C. Worelf on the grounds in an intoxicated condition and he took his star away from him. He ordered him to go home, suspending him from the force at the same time. WILL 1NTE8TIGATE . Chief of Police Jenkins said this ing action on WoreU's case will be de ferred until a full' investigation of the facts is made. WoreU's record is other wise excellent according to the chief, and nis conduct probably will result in a 30-day suspension from duty.
