MERGER TALKS
FALL THROUGH

In spite Of the suggestion by
Representative Florian Lampert
(RO of Wisconsin, at the merger
hearing yesterday that the trac'
ton interests and the Public Util,
tiles Commission get together to
iron out certain differences which
have caused an impasse, there will
be no further conferences BE-
tween the two parties until Con,
gresS acts on the Public Utilities
Commission merger plan.
This was learned today from an
unaSsailable source. 1t is under.
stood that any such conferences,
Of which there have been several
already, would be useless since
the Public Utilities Commission
has taken a definite stand from
which it will not move.
The two points which have
caused the trouble are Section IL
and a provision that there shall
be no change in fare for two
years after the merger while re-
valuation takes place.
Section IL invests more power
in the commission while modify
ing that Of the courts. While no
member Of the commission would
comment for publication it was in.
dicated that the Public Utilities
Commission will not consider any
compromise of their present posi-.
tion.

Cornerstone to Be Laid
Sunday at Rockville

ROCKVILLE, Md, March 2S.-
The cornerstone of the new
Rockville Presbyterian Church,
now being erected o.: West Mont
gomery Avenue. to take the place
of the old one that was razed
to make room for the new court
house and Jail, will be laid Sun
day afternoon, according to the
Rev. Henry K. Posma, pastor.
The program is being arranged
by and will be under the d1rec-
tion and will be participated in
by the Rockville Masonic lodge.
The cornerstone of the old edi-
flee was laid in 1873. Recently,
when wreckerS began tearing
down the old church, a tin box
containing many old papers in
Guiding the minutes of the Mary
land general assembly OF 1872
were found, as well as copies OF
the Baltimore Sun and other
newspapers,

SNYDER To GET
POST AGAIN

Edgar C. Snyder will be re-
appointed marshal of the District
of Columbia, the White House an
nounced today.
President Hoover may send his
name to the Senate late today, as
his term expires in a few days.
He has been marshal ever since
the early days of the Harding
administration.
During his long service in
Washington as a correspondent
for Western newspapers, Snyder
was always Republican, and for
a decade or more has been iden-
titled with the Prescott-Coiladay-
Graham group, which during 'he
Harding and Coolidge regimes
dictated local appointments and
patronage.
President Hoover has not been
inclined to pay heed to the rec
concentrations of this group on
local appointments and the re-
appointment of Snyder is its first
recognition. The nomination
probably will be confirmed ny the
Senate without opposition.
Marshal Snyder, 10, is a native
Of Philadelphia, but has lived in
Washington since 1895. He is a
former president of the Gridiron
Club, a member of the Kiwanis
Club, Board of Trade, and Cham
Der OF Commerce. He lieves in
