Action Taken After Debate by
Delegates to Fourth National
Conference.
COMMEND MIR. COOLIDGE
Members Spend Remainder of Day
on Mountains Near Gettysburg.

BY STAFF Correspondent.
GETTYSBURG, Pa, May 2S.-With
their Ia bors brought to a successtui
conclusion. the delegates to the
fourth national conference on state
parks. turned their faces from his
toric Gettysburg today for few
hours of recreation in the green car
peted mountain reservations that dot
this section of Pennsylvania.
Before adjourning their conference,
however, the delegates once more
indelibly impressed their stamp OF
diSapproval upon outdoor bliiboaru
advertising and after the warmest
debate of the meeting adopted a res
olution urging the creation OF lesls-
lation which would place that form
of aggressive self interest under the
absolute control and censorship OF
state highway authorities.
Question was raised by DR.. John T..
Merriam, president of the Carnegie IN
stitution of Washington. regarding that
section of the resolution which asked
all states to tighten the construction
and use of billboardS. Or. Merriam
pointed out that ii might be construed
as giving approval to something Tor
which the conference had elsewhere
expressed its disapproval. Attention
was called by other speakers to the
difficult to regulate advertising in such
a way as to make it effective without
becoming offensive.
Carried by AccIamatiOn.
After fifteen minutes of heated de-
bate the chair declared that the reSo-
luton had already been carried by ac-
clamation with number of other reSo-
lutions. 4 motion TO reconsider the
billboard resolution was lost. ana IL
remained adopted, together with its
license fee feature and also a section
which would have states increase the
principal valuation of property on
which billboardS are erected. This. 1t
was hoped. would discourage the leas
ing of land for such purposes.
John Barton Payne was reelected
president of the states parks con-
were selected to serve for one year

England early today originated in
the maritime province of Canada,

Their observations indicated that
the shock was mild one. One geo.

grew out of disturbances in the ST.

The Harvard seismpgraph showed
that the quake occurred at 3.52;02,
lasting several seconds, and centered
at a point 49, miles from Cambridge,

driven by Fred Curtis of Searsport.
and continued on. striking a fence
and then the electric light pole own
ed by the Central Maine Power
which supplies Belfast
lights. He was badly injured and
taken to the Waldo County Hospi-
tai. Two doctors and the night
nurse testified that he had been
drinking when he was brought to the
hospital. but Holderness plead not
guilty and produced IL witnesses to
hack him up. He testified he had
frank nothing but three quarters of
4 glass of dandelion wine. The jury
however. reported guilty.
This is the first of the six indict-
nents against drunken drivers to be
heard at this term.
