His wife, Augustine Victoria, daughter of Prince William Hohenzollern and cousin of King Carol of Rumania, was with him to the end. He was one of the richest exiled monarchs in history.

What Gov. Franklin D. RoOse- welt, Democratic nominee for Pres ident, thinks about some of the leading public questions confront ing the nation can be gleaned from his comment during his two terms as Governor of New York.
 PROHIBITION: "The crux of the matter is the Eighteenth Amendment has not furthered the cause of greater temperance among cur population, but on the other hand, it has f0stered excessive drinking of strong intOxicants, and led to corruption and hypocrisy. ... The Eighteenth Amendment must be eliminated, of course, only by a new constitutional amend ment. It is fundamental that such new amendment must be res toration of real control over intox- icants to the several States"
 DEPRESSION: Tt is my calm judgment that the nation faces to- day a mere grave emergency than in 1917. The present Administra- tiOn either has forgotten or does not want to remember the infancy

ELLIOTT WIRES DISTRICT HEADS ABOUT TRANSFER.
Few Changes Are Expect ed to Be Made in Civil
 ian Force of ARC.

Standby orders were issued to- day by Maj. Malcolm Elliott, Pres ident of the Alaska Road Commis- sion, giving notice to district Su- perintendents that transfer of the organization is impending. The bill authorizing the transfer from the War Department to the Interior Department was approved by Pres ident Hoover on June 30.
 Details of the transfer will not be agreed upon until orders re- garding it, prepared by the Sec retary of Interior, are received by Gov. Parks, which probably will be in a week or ten days.
 Under Parks Control
 In his wire to the field super intendents, Maj Malcolm said:
 '"The Act of Congress transfer ring the Alaska Road Commission to the Interior Department was approved by the President June 30 and orders prescribing details $ thereof are expected shortly.
 The Secretary of Interior has stated in his published correspond ence with the proponent of this bill that the administration of Road Commission activities will be assigned to Gov. Parks and that the Interior Department expects to operate through so much of the present civilian organization as can be maintained within the approp- riations, relieving Army officers now assigned, also that no curtail- ment of program is expected, ex- cept as necessitated by reduced ap- propriations.
 Further information as to de- tails of transfer not yet available, but, meanwhile, present members of the Commission desire to assure the entire organization, so far as known, the impending change is not due to dissatisfaction with the manner in which the work has been performed. In fact, the Sec retary of Interior stated the trans fer has not been urged as mat ter of economy, but in the inter- ests of effective coordination of related activities now handled by two departments and that the en- deavor would be to combine the efficient operation now maintained by the existing organization"
 Disturb Other Functions
 The Interior Department, so far as is now known, will take over only the trail and road construc- ton and maintenance activities of the Commission Its several other functions remain to be disposed of
 Maj. Elliott said he believed that control of the Sitka Military Cemetery would be given to the Commanding Officer at Chilkoot Barracks. It is now vested in the Commission.
 What is to become of it's con- sulting engineering work for the Lighthouse Service for this district is a matter of conjecture. Maj. Elliott was uncertain upon this.
 No Instructions Received
 Other than telegram from the War Department advising the Con- of the approval of the bill by President Hoover, it has re- ceived no word. No instructions have been received relative to the transfer, and no orders assigning the Army officers on the Commis- sion staff and field force to other stations.

Victory for New York Ex- ecutive Impressive in
 Impetus Extent

CHICAGO, III, July 2.-Making new political history, the Demo- crats last night prolonged the con- vention session to receive and welcome to leadership it's choice for the Presidency, Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt, of New York, nom mated by unanimous support Of the delegates of 40 states.
 A wild demonstration followed the California and Texas break to the Roosevelt column and a great demonstration followed when state after state rushed to the winners column.
 With the selection today of John H. Garner as running mate con- ceded by every party faction, no other business is remaining before final adjournment.
 Memorable Finale
 Party officials sought to make the visit of Nominee Roosevelt, coming to the convention by air. plane from Albany, N. Y, as a fi- nale to a memorable significance. hoping his appeal for party har- mony might heal most of the wounds opened by the debate over men and measures, but it is scarce ly believed it will cure the most conspicuous scar left from the convention decisions, the refusal of Alfred E. Smith to promise to sup port in the campaign or even com ment on the victory of his old time friend.
 Smith Holds Out
 Smiths possible future course re- mained a mystery this morning. He is the only one of the opposition candidates who did not withdraw and sound the call for harmony when it became apparent Roose- veit was the winner.
 John J. Raskob, Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, also refused to comment.
 Impressive Victory
 Despite this, the Roosevelt vic- tory was impressive in impetus ex- tent.
 Word was passed around last night that John N. Garner was acceptable to him as running mate. Several other candidates were proposed last night, but with Texas and California for Garner, his nomination early this morning was all but assured.
 Last night it was understood Garner was willing to be the Vice. Presidential candidate.
 The ticket-Roosevelt and Gar ner-is viewed as ideal.

 He gained a smattering or five languages and became well read in the laws affecting his own case. He also developed a flair for writ ing verse, contributing them to the prison paper, The Mentor, under the pseudonym Grandpa In 1919 his verses were compiled in book form.
 After his release from solitary" in 1917, Pomeroy was made "trusty" and acted ais a messenger around the Charleston prison. He became known to those in contact with him as good tempered but rather egotistical old man who showed the effects of espousal of his cause by interested persons.

 !, Seeks Pardon NA Pomeroy made frequent efforts to obtain pardon, petitioning governor after governor for execu- ~clemency. But the only look ihe had of the outside world was in 1929 when he was whisked in Ia closed automobile from Charles town to the Bridgewater state farm the transfer being made so that he could receive better medical care.
 On that trip he marvelled when i he saw an elevated train, steam shovel and a steam roller; asked lbewilderingly where the horses had gone from the roads, saw his first lice cream cone and, noticing a newspaper bulletin board, was pug zled because he was still described as a slayer.

They said an older boy had attacked them, trussed them up and then beaten them with sticks and ropes. The schools of the city were searched and in one Joseph Kennedy, a boy victim, pointed to Young Pomeroy and said he was the assailant.
 T know him by his eye" said Kennedy. One of Pomeroys eyes was almost albino, the other blue.

 For these assaults, none of which proved fatal, Pomeroy was sent to a reform school, from which he was released 1T months later Within six months he killed two children in frightful manner The body of Horace Millen, four years old, was found on the clam flats in South Boston, naked and mutilated.
