COMMUTERS PROTEST
TRAIN SCHEDULE CHANGE

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, April ia petition
signed by over so residents of Oden-
ton. Severn, Stony Run, Bowie, Discus,
Hartman and Patapsco, as well as by
washingtonians who commute, protest.
ing against the time Of arrival Of
train No. 5132 Of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, has been received by the Pub
lie Service Commission.
The letter, signed by Edwin Turner
and John Clark on behalf Of the other
protestarts, In part, follows:
The railroad company proposes to
let train No. 402, the schedule of which
will be advanced approximately one
half hour, serve passengers now &C.
commodated by train No. 5132. We
strenuously object to this change for
several reasons, the more important of
which are: The earlier departure in
the morning and the ultimate result of
most unsatisfactory train service on
property values. These reasons we
think entirely SUFFICIENT for the con-
tinuation of train No. 5132. 1t Is not
necessary that we reach Baltimore prior
to $40 am, which Is the present ar
rival time of No. 5132, whereas No. 400
will arrive in Baltimore at 7:45 am.
THE local service provided by the
Pennsylvania Railroad at present Is far
from satisfactory and the railroad COM
pany's proposed removal Of train No,
5132 and the substitution Of No. 402,
necessitating our leaving home one
half hour earlier, will certainly make
conditions no better"

COMMON GRAVE
FOR FIRE VICTIMS
112 of Dead in Bucharest Church
Disaster Identified-Whols
Families Perish.

By the Associated Press
BUCHAREST, Rumania, April 10
A common grave will hold the nearly
$50 persons who died here last night
after they were trapped in a blazing
church that famed during Good
Friday vigil at Cotesici.
Up until this evening 1l2 bodies had
been identified and IL others were
brought out of the ruins unrecogni8-
able. Seventeen others who at first
were believed victims later were found
wandering about the countryside,
many of them seriously injured In the
horrible fire panic.
Evidence today was that more per-
sons were killed in the stampede than
by burning When fire broke out the
assembled villagers thought first Of
the sacred vessels displayed in the
service and rushed to save them.
Then they dashed desperately for the
; door and there piled up 10 die, for
the door was of the in-swinging type.
So strong was the door that it re-
sisted all efforts to smash 1t outward.
desperately on top of each other be-
fore it, flaming beams from above
| falling upon them meanwhile.
Two priests, O notary and the hurgo-
master of Cotesici were among those
who persisted. The priests after vainly
trying to quell the panic stood at their
posts and blessed the victims as they
died.
The fire began when a candle ig-
nited a tapestry swung by a breeze.
and from there the flames spread to
other tinsel and paper decorations.
The church itself was like finder, rs
it was 100 years old and the wood
was dried by decades of time.
In some cases entire families were
wiped out and in others only the
sman children, who had been left at
home, survive.
The Rumanian government tonight
headed q subscription list for the
victims with a donation of 1000, 900
| lei (about $4,000.
| All the dead were inhabitants Of the
countryside and the village. A party
| of 20 students, men and women, who
| arrived at the village to visit the his
| toric little church, are missing.

IN GEORGIA RIOTS
Rival Faction Officers Try to
Conduct Business
simultaneously.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ATLANTA, Ca, April 19-Amid tu-
multi and shouting the Republican State
convention here today split into two
factions and chose two sets of officers.
The presiding officers of each faction
conducted business from the same plat
form. while pandemonium reigned
among the delegates on the floor.
Shouts and boos greeted speakers who
attempted to make themselves heard
above the din.
Pandemonium broke at the conven-
ton Immediately after it had completed
temporary roll call and prepared for
the election OF temporary chairman.
Roscoe Pickett OF Jasper. Ga. re-
firing State chairman, presented the
name of James w. Arnold of Athens,
who had been recommended for the
temporary Craftsmanship at a meeting
of the party's control committee yes
terday.
Clint w. Hager United States district
attorney here, presented the name of
Gilmer Dozier of Thomson, Ga. Pickett
called for q vote on Dozier, and he was
declared elected amid cries of Roll
call"
Dozier Immediately assembled to the
rostrum amid boos and cheers. while
dozens in the convention hall shouted
for q roll call. Ben J. Davis of At
lanta, colored secretary of the conven-
ton, charged Dozier was q "usurper OF
the peoples rights" He reiterated q
demand for the roll call.
Friends of Arnold escorted him TO
the rostrum, and there were more
cheers and boos.
While Dozier pounded for order and
pandemonium reigned In the hall, Davis
began calling the roll but his voice was
drowned in the ttlntilt
Josiah T. Rose, collector Of internal
revenue OF Atlanta, stood on top of the
judges bench In the court room, where
the convention was meeting, and plead
ed for order.
Dozier said that he favored white
leadership In the party. Ben Davis
was declared by Arnold to have been
elected temporary secretary on a count
of uplifted hands. Most Of the vote
came from the north side of the audi
forum, where many colored delegates
were seated.
The shouting delegates finally got
quiet, but neither faction gave any EVIL
dence of surrendering their seats. The
one which first completed its perma-
nent organization adopted a long list
of resolutions which Endorsed the
Hoover administration and expressed
hope for the successful conclusion of
the London Naval Conference and its
acceptance by the Senate
District Attorney Hager read the
names of nominees Of the State central
Republican committee and these were
adopted by his faction. They comprise
20 regular white Republicans, eight
Hoover Democrats and "a colored Re
publicans, in addition to the four party
officers.
Impromptu speeches came from dele
gates on both sides. Apparently the
best Of feeling prevailed.
Both factions adjourned sine die.

of their churches at the stroke of mid
night. They bore crucif1xes, ikons and
holy pictures and were followed by
thousands of the faithful carrying long,
lighted candles, brilliant banners and
pictures of the saints.
The upturned faces of the worship
pers, most of them poorly clad, were
illuminated against the drab back
ground of the city's dilapidated houses,
and the Pickering shadows cast by their
candles gave the scenes touches OF mys-
ticism that struck observers with dra-
matte force. There were enough Ameri-
cans in these professions to be notice
able at several places.
After the congregations had marched
completely around the churches, the
priests greeted them as they re-entered
the sanctuaries with the words:
''He Is Risen Indeed"
Christ is risen"
And the people responded as with
one voice:
HE is risen indeed"
Then they kissed one another ar
IDENTIFY on both cheeks. this being the
highest form of greeting in Russia and
expressive of JOY.
A solemn TIE Deum was then pro-
nounced in the rich Slavonic liturgy
the priests officiating In veStmentS pro-
caded with silver and gold, high conf
cal hats and the jeweled mitres a
of old.
Despite the governments prohibition
of public sale of Easter eggs, paSchal
cakes and other tokens of the season,
thousands of the churchgoers brought
symbols of this sort to be blest by
the priests.
Here and there outside the churches
atheists gathered, sang ribald songs and
derided the teachings of religion, but
their activities were noticeably free
from the harshness which characterized
them in former years.
To divert the attention of workmen
from the churches the government dis
tributed tickets to theaters, concerts and
moving. picture shows at greatly re-
duced rates. These entertainments were
prolonged well beyond the hour set for
the midnight mass.

1880 DEATH VALLEY
CENSUS LISTS 1893
Enumeration Barely Escapes
Death in 1000 Mile
Desert Trek.

BY the Associated Press.
SAN BERNARDINO, Calf, April 10.
-Torrid Death Valley is doing its best
to live up to its name in the 1880 CEN
sus books.
A tale reminiscent of the stories which
years ago gave the sun-blazed desert Its
forbidding name, found It's way here to-
day in the report of census enume-
rator, William J. Little.
The enumerator's count, which almost
cost the census takers life, showed that
1913 persons live in the valley, which
covers approximately 5000 square miles
Two weeks ago, Little left here on O
/ ,000-mile trek. While IS miles from
Darwin, desert outpost In the Panamint
Mountains, his car broke down.
Little attempted to walk back to safe
ty. Ten miles from the town he COL
lapsed from thirst and exhaustion
After he had given up hope of rescue
he was found by prospector and taken
in an automobile to Darwin.
Part of his journey brought him tC
the ghost towns of the Panamint dis
trict. Crumbling buildings alone remain
in these deserted spots, the last yestigeS
of civilization which many years age
sprang up overnight during the craZec
search for gold. Not sign of human
life is to be found in them now.

ROCKET CAR HITS
SPEED OF 90 M.P.H
Roar of Tiny Motor Is Heard
Mile Away in
Test.

BERLIN, April 19.-The new rocket
motor of DR.. Paul Heylandt, celebrated
German research scientist developed a
speed of SO miles an hour in test at
Templehof Airfleld this evening round
half kilometer course with the rocket
car of the inventor, Max Waller. Waller
was at the wheel.
The car covered a distance OF three
kilometers during the test, which Is be-
lieved to be a record for rocket cars.
For a motor weighing only seven pounds
and driving a normal sized car, the
speed of so miles an hour was record.
Speeding around the course in the
dusk, the car looked like a blazing
comet. The roar of the motor could be
heard mile away.
The motor, only a little larger than
a hip-fask, is said by DR.. Heylandt to
develop from 40 to SO horsepower.
The fuel consumption of the rocket
motor, however, is still excessive. DR.
Heylandt points out that it is still in
an experimental stage. He and Waller
plan later to fit two rocket motors to a
light airplane for experimentation.
The car suggests the idea of COM
bination refrigerator and a blast fur
mace. Pipes feeding liquid oxygen into
the motor were coated with frost. Re-
coil in the motor is obtained by making
extremes of heat and cold meet at the
combustion point.

MOSCOW, April 19.-All churches of
Moscow were crowded tonight with de-
vout Christians eager to celebrate the
resurrection of Christ with the fervor
shown in bygone days before the athe-
istic movement got under way in Soviet
Russia.
Long before midnight, the hour set
for the Easter masses, tens OF thousands
of devout could be seen making their
Way through the darkened streets, car
rying lighted candles to guide them
over the broken pavements to their IA
vorite churches.
Seen against the battlemented tow
ers of the Kremlin, RuSsia'S ancient
sanctuary and now seat OF the Com
munistic government, and with the
golden domes of the city's 40 times 40
churches in the background, this made
a scene reminiscent of old Russia and
one long to be remembered.
Touches Soul Of Russians.
Easter still touches the soul of Rus
sia as no other festival of the church
wear. Scattered though they may be
1T other times, the believers among the
nations millions seem to- become kith
and kin once more, and for more than
three whole days give themselves UP
to q celebration that makes Easter, the
symbol of immortality, greater holiday
than Christmas. festival Of the divine
birth.
The only noticeable mark of changed
conditions this year was the absence
of bells and chimes. A recent decree OF
the government silenced them forever:
But their silence was partly atoneo
for by the magnificent singing OF the
male choirs, whose deep voices, unac-
companied by instruments, were heard
upon. the midnight air and impaired
rare beauty to the services.
