1000 ROTAR|ANS
OPEN CONF ERENCE
Thirty-fourth District Meet
ing of International Body
in Cumberland.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CUMBERLAND, Md, April 29.-With
the number of visitors increased to over
1000 today, there having been more
than 600 registrations last night, the
thirty-fourth district conference of Ro-
tary International got under way this
morning at the Strand Theater, with
the district governor, Joseph w. Stay
man, president of Potomac State Col
lege, Keyser, w. Va, presiding. We'll
coming addresses were made by Fulcher
P. Smith, president of the Cumberland
club, and Mayor Thomas w. Koon and
the response was by George M. Whit
well, president of the Washington, D. c.,
club. The session was given largely to
the addresses of District Gov. Stayman
and Alnnon E. Roth, Palo Alto, Calf,
second vice president of Rotary Inter
national.
Special Sessions.
This afternoon was given to special
sessions. with the following past district
governors presiding: Club service, Ridge
ley P. Melvin, Annapolis; community
service, George H. Bahlke, Baltimore;
international service, Dr. Howard c.
"Ah"CAg 1oAASdotSt, 1d.s dIIQ VOCATIONAL
service, Roy Dancer, Hagerstown. George
w. Harris, also a past governor, pre-
sided at a meeting of club presidents.
A move fostered by the Rotary Club
OF Easton, Md, for the creation of a
new conference district, composed of
the nine Eastern Shore counties of
Maryland. the three counties of Della
ware and the two Eastern Shore
counties of Virginia (Accomac and
Northumberland), will be brought be-
fore the conference tomorrow asking
Tor approval. In this event, the inter-
national convention, which meets at
Dallas, will be petitioned to create the
district, which would be known as Del
Marva. 1t would contain % clubs, with
assurance Of number of others which
would be formed.
Rugged in Contour.
It is contended the thirty-fourth
district is one of the most rugged in
contour in Rotary and the formation
OF the new district would leave the
thirty-fourth more compact. There are
now some districts with fewer clubs
than the proposed new district would
have. it is stated. Because of the ire
mendous extent of the thirty-fourth
district. which runs north almost into
Canada, 1t is contended there has been
lack OF proper supervision. Baltimore
Rotarians, 1t is stated, look with favor
on the move for the new district.
The woman visitors. who are enter
tanned at the Elks' Club, were taken
on an automobile tour through the
Alleghenies this morning, followed by
tea at Potomac State College, Keyser,

NEW MAIL SERVICE
TO MEET PROTEST.
Upper Marlboro Section Will
Not Suffer by Removal
of Train.
BY GEORGE PORTER,


UPPER MARLBORO, Md, April 20
Concern among Prince Georges County
officials. bankers and business men Of
Marlboro lest their business activities
be seriously handicapped by the removal
of one of the mail trains from the
Pope's Greek branch Of the Pennsylvania
Railroad yesterday was alleviated this
morning with the receipt by the post
master here of official notice that the
mail service formerly supplied by that
train would, commencing today, be
furnished by the Chesapeake Beach
Railroad.
The postmaster was directed to route
outgoing morning mail via the Chesa-
peake Beach line, and to receive in
coming mail from Washington and
Baltimore over that line at 6:l0 o'clock
in the evening.
Serious Handicap Seen.
County Treasurer r. Ernest Smith,
was among those who protested to the
Post Office Department when 1t was
learned the Popes Creek train would be
removed. with subsequent loss of mail
service. The treasurer claimed the work
capped If all the mail had to be received
on one train, as it would require so long
to aSsort the letters his force could not
begin work until 10 O'Clock.
Others who urged the use of the
Chesapeake Beach trains for mail. as
ordered. were Summerfield D. Hall.
clerk of the Circuit Court, and the
cashiers of the three banks in MARI
boro. The Marlboro post office has
grown from fourth to a second class
rating.
Only One Daily Trip.
BY removing the train yesterday. only
one round trip is being made daily over
the Pope's Greek line instead of two.
Passenger traffic on the line had de-
creased so IN recent years that it had
been operating at loss for some time.
Several of the commuters on the line,
however, filed a protest with the Public
Service Commission in Baltimore, claim
ing they would be unable to reach their
places Of employment If the train made
only one trip a day.

40 YEARS IN CELL,

Solitary Confinement Pris.

Unparalleled, Sees Hope.

BY the Associated Press.
BOSTON, February 23.-Jesse Pom
eroy. for 81 years a prisoner behind the
walls OF Charlestown State Prison,
thinks he has found a loophole in the
verdict and sentence which kept him in
solitary confinement 40 years.
Since the days in the now misty past,
when Gov. Rice commuted the death
sentence which had been imposed upon
him at the age of IA for the Staying of
Horace MILAN, Pomeroy has appealed
to every governor of the Commonwealth
for q pardon, but now he will take his
plea to the courts.
Through j. L. Farquhar, his attorney
he plans to ask the Supreme Court of
the State to consider his contention
that although the jury found as fact
that there had been no premeditated
malice in the killing. it nevertheless
found him guilty in the first degree
when. according to Pomeroy, ne was
only guilty, If at ALL in the second de-
gree.
Furthermore, the lifer will assert that
the verdict was never recorded. AS a
third ground, he plans to contend that
when Gov. Rice commuted the sentence
of hanging he did so to SOLITARY
Imprisonment at hard labor for life.''
Pomeroy says that the statutes provide
for no such punishment.
PomerOy probably has served one of
the longest sentences in history. and it
Is believed here that his 40 years in
solitary confinement are without paral-
lei In the records of criminal juris-
prudence.

been withheld for transporting Marines
to and from Nicaragua and after a pro-
poSal to prevent Marine occupation Of
Haiti also had been rejected.
OF the total amount allotted for be-
ginning the cruisers, 100000 would be

{. NJ. TAYLOR GIVEN
15-YEAR SENTENCE
Justice Mccoy Denies Motion
for RetriaI of Former
Policeman.

Edward M. Taylor, 28 years old,
former policeman, was sentenced today
by Chief Justice Mccoy in criminal
division to serve is years in the peni-
tentiary. Taylor recently was convicted
of an assault to kill and an assault
with dangerous weapon on William S.
McBreen, employe of a gasoline filling
station at 2637 Benning road north
east August 80, 1927. His counsel, Jo-
seph Solomon and Vincent Sheehy,
noted an appeal to the Court Of Appeals
and Taylor was remanded
Counsel for the prisoner asked for
a new trial on the plea that Taylor
had been convicted both of an assault
to kill and an assault with dangerous
weapon. They claimed that the con-
viction OF the lesser offense raised a
doubt of the guilt on the first count of
intent to kill, and that the prisoner
was entitled to the benefit of the doubt,
according to decision of the Court
of Appeals in the Davis case. The
verdict of the jury was inconsistent,
counsel claimed.
In overruling the motion for new
trial, the court suggested that the Court
of Appeals could pass on the counsels
contention and pointed out that the
bullet that wounded McBreen had been
proved almost to a mathematical cer-
tainty to have been discharged from
the pistol which had been issued to
Taylor while in the police service
through the testimony of firearms ex-
perts.
Taylor was not indicted until last
August, nearly a year after the shoot
ing. The theory of the Government al
the trial was that Taylor had had ar
alteration with another employe oi
the same filling station earlier in tbs
week before the shooting and that he
mistook McBreen for the other en-
ploye.
Assistant United States Attorney:
William H. Collins and Walter M. Shea

CARL
Representative Celler, Democrat, of
New York, asked Mr.. Wood If he did
not consider the action of the appro-
priations committee unfair when a
comprehensive bill had been reported
from the legislative committee. Mr..
Wood answered that it was apparent to
everybody that the Welch pay bill as
construed by the Controller General
was not the intent of Congress. Con-
gress. he said. never intended that those
in the higher grades should be jumped
up a whole grade with salary increases
of from $500 to $4,000, while the little
fellow received only a meager amount.
I'VE all we're led to believe when the
WEIGH pay act was passed." said Mr..
Wood, that we were giving substantial
increases to those in the lower salary
grades who were getting hardly enough
money on which to live
