POMER0Y HEADS
 FLYERS CLUB'

Boston, June 4@The first words in ,4s years that Jesse Pemeroy, noted life termer|' at the CharIestown pen- itentiary has spoken to anyone other than his mother and prison attend ants, were in his little speech of ac- eeptanee of the presidency of an or ganization unique throughout the world-the Lfers' Club.
 The Lifers' Club is composed os 154 convfcts in the various peniten. tiaries and state prisons in the United States who are confined within prisoA walls for the balance of their lives.
 The brief announcement of Pome- roy's election was made today by Capt. Thomas Anderson, Salvation Army prison parole officer of New York. Captain Anderson and Cap tain E. J. Perrett. the New England prison secretary from Boston head quarters, went to the Charlestown iprison and there rendered Pomeroy ithe presidency of the Lffers' Club and received his acceptance.
 i In the nearly half century that has elapsed since Pomeroy entered the prison gates he had stubbornly re- fused to talk to any outsiders, prison officials said, other than his own bmother. up unti1 his meeting with Captains Anderson and Perrett.
 The Lifers' Club is an outgrowth of the Brighter Day League, organized saTnong the prison inmates all over the country by the Salvation Army as a. part of its prison reform work vTshe StCaab" was an idea of Captain fAnderson who formed this organiza- Ftfon and communicated with the diff fferent prisoners, prepared the noni- nation for officers and conducted the sUsectfcn, and arranged for the publi- tQAtion of the oldest newspaper that tAaas ~ever been printed in the world.
