MUNICIPAL
 COURSE ON
 PAY BASIS
M core Predicts East Mountain Links To Be- come One Of Most Popular In State = 600
 Players Over Weekend

Watcrbury's municipal golf course at East Mountain bids fair to becoming one of the most popular city recreation ccntcrs Of any in the state, if the patronage now being given the play. course, is any critcr- ion, Thomas F. Moore, park board secretary, stated to-day. While no exact figures are available at the present writ ing, 1t Is understood that the course is more than paying for itself as far as expenses arc concerned.
 For instance, Mfr Moore said, last Saturday and Sunday, over 800 players took advantage of, the excellent weather and shot the nine difficult holes between noon time and sundOwn. Six hundred players means about $20O in gross receipts, and considering that the total weekly expenses at the course are only Sf0O. 1t can be rcad- fly seen that the course should prove no White Elephant on the city's hands, Mir Moore pointed out.
 The course will remain open, Mir Moore explained, as long ns weather permits, which should he about the middle of next month. In, the spring the park department employees will go over the course again and work will he commenced on the remaining nine holes 70 tbat the city will have the full IS hole course within the very : near future.

Final Warning
 To Taxi Drivers
Stiff Competition Results In Arrests And Fines This Morning Judge Threatens To Move Stand From Green "

The taxi fleet is making its last stand on the east side of the Gen. tral Green. @
 Judge John E. MeGrath has echoed the warning given severA times in the pastby Superintendent of Police Joseph H. Mclean that unless the drivers conduct them selves properly in the fnrure and eliminate the 'ioekeying" around with cars for a favorite position it will be moving day and the official public stand will be designated somewhere out of Exchange place.
 Traffic Officer Edward Ashton has been kept busy settling dis putes and admonishing some of the more aggressive drivers. The competition for fares and the tips that accompany some trips is the motive behind all the ill-feeling.
 Two arrests this morning by Patrolman Ashton resulted in the imposition of a dollar fine on each of the two offenders. They were shunting their cars around at $50 o'clock this morning as Officer Ashton appeared on the scene to start his long grind. Traffic was blocked.

M ''The Roman pontiff's encyclical, ,lsesides being utterly unjustificd, is sbsisically vulgar and It's form is far from the humility Christ preached" .tbe statement said. Mexican Iegislation regarding the religious .Qnestion was issued in accordance with our constitution and in the exercise of our sovereignty as an autonomous nation, which we can- .flot permit any foreigner to dis .cuss.
 s%"The Pope's observations on our 1cgislation were far from Christian Humility and lacking even in ele- ,pentary courtesy"

JESSE P0MEROY'S
 REPUTED WEALTH
 HAS DISAPPEARED

Bridgewater, Mass, Oct 1 -(UP) Jesse Pomeroy, 72, who report edry amassed several thousand dol lars during 56 years Imprisonment died almost penniless, evidently a victim of the 1929 market crash.
 William M. Finn, 2S, a former altar boy at state prison, was named sole beneficiary in the no. torious life's will, but search be- gun following Pomeroy's sudden death of heart disease at the state farm here late Thursday night has revealed an estate totaling only 96 cents.
 Jesse, who mastered six languages during 38 years of solitary con- finement, was understood to have earned substantial sums by writing articles on crime and other sub- jects, and to have pyramided this money by shrewed stock specula- tions. But the market ultimately proved his undoing. state officials believed.
 The lifer's body lay unclaimed at the state farm today while au- thorities hunted in vain for rela- lives. Pomeroy's mother died some 15 years ago. A brother, who grew wealthy in the hotel and restaur- rant business, died more recently. Officials doubted that any near relatives survived.
 It was Pomeroy's wish that his body be cremated, and 1t was thought thls might be fulfilled even though no relatives claimed the body. The place of burial re- mained undecided.

 "The republican party must take the responsibility for its own palpable and inexcusable mistakes delays and general ineptitude."
 Smith struck in his usual direct manner at what he described as administration delay and quib- bling in unemployment relief and Wogress toward economic recon struction. He charged President Hoover "muffed" the opbortun- ity to make the most of the Recon struction Finance Corporation.
 He criticized the presidents stand on prohibition and said MT Hoover "still insists on kicking away the hundreds of millions ot dollars which could easily be raised by, a tax on beer and wine"
 The former democratic standard bearer said the nation "cannot con- tinue to live under the snug theory that we are self-contained na- tion and that we require no assist ance from the outside. world. We witnessed the absolute paralysis o1 our foreign trade unquestionably brought about by our recent ex- treme tariff laws. No man in a friendly spirit sends the sheriff after his neighbor."
 Regarding economic improve ment, he said some persons be- lieved the stock exchange had re- fiected an upturn because of 8 stimulated market, but added that there is "a better psychology"
 Smith said that less than $20,. 900, 900 of the $500, 0,000,0 ,000 for di- rect relief under the emergency relief act, had been allotted "be. cause of the presidents insistence upon making expenditure of the entire sum discretionary with tho +. F. G." because of his warning that only near-bankrupt statei could get money under this head and because of legal bubbles"
 He charged that mot a man 1T this country out of work has al yet been employed as result' ol the credit of $1.500, 00,000 giver the R. r. c. under the head o1 e1f-liquidating projects.
 Smith argued that the demo- cratic party, with liberal back ground, could take the leadership in upbuilding national prosperity.
 But he warned that it must watch its step.
 What Is needed in the crisis oi today is the united cooperative ef' fort of all good citizens of what ever class or creed to fight oui way out of the bog of depression to the solid ground of good Ameri. can enterprise and prosperity.
