 Pofzi declined to discuss the de- portatlon proceedings.

 Have you any noney?"

 No, just newspaper men,"

 Before he left the prison, Ponzl shook hands with Warden James l.. Hogsett, other officials, and a few of the convicts. Shortly after D:30 he was bundled into an auto- mobile and taken to the East Bos- ton immigration station.
 On Ponzps arrival at the imml- grafton station 1t was announced that bail would be $1,00O for his release during the 90 days he has to fight deportation.
 "IIe has very little chance of esca ping dcpoftation," U. $. Im- migration Commissioner Mary Ward gaId.
 She declared that 20 federal of- ficers had been assigned to guard Ponzi for fear that one of the yic- tims of his scheme might make an attempt on his life.
 Some of the people vlctimized by PonZi believe he has a large amount of money cached away" said the commissioner, f"and hence ures against any possible attack,
 It was reported that ponzis at- tractive and loyal wife, Rose, who has been employed in Boston night club, would arrive at the immigration station at noon with 8 lawyer and the $1,00O bail.
 Immigration officials expressed the opinion that Ponzi's wisest move would be to remain at the station during the 90 days, not as 8 prisoner, but as q government to safeguard himself from possible attack. S

William Travers Jerome in 1901 Tore Things Apart
 in New York

New York, Feb 14-- (UP)-The vivid saga of William Travers Jers ome. acid-tongued, uncompromis. ing prosecutor of gaudy era in New York's history, was ended by death today.
 Jerome died yesterday of pneu- monia. He was 75.
 His death revived memories of some Of the greatest court trials in the history of New York's juris- prudence. A district attorney of New York countylin 1901, he prose- cuted Hary K. Thaw for the mur- der Of Sanford White. He won Q conviction against the slick Little Abe" Hummei, the purjuring di- vorce lawyer, and against Dick Canfield, whose political influence had defed all efforts to close the notorious gambling house that bore his name until Jarime took a hand. Jerome's reputation was nation. wide.
 Almost from the beginning of his career to the day of his death he despised Tammany Half with fanatical fervor. He participated actively, fin the Lexow committees investigation of 1890, which re- vealed that vice, political graft and underworld rackets supplied most of Tammany's revenues.

STATE POLITICS
SEEM ABSENT ON
THEIR VACATION
Candidates For State Offices
Are Not Putting Out
Much Information
LOCAL POLITICS ARE
EVIDENT AT FESTIVALS

Politics seem to have taken a
breathing spell, so far as the State
is concerned. Quiet seems to pre-
vail. Richie is on a vacation in Eu-
rope; Jackson hasn't given much to
the public of late; and Conley appears
to be waiting for something that
might happen.
Rumors have been afloat that Jack
son would withdraw from the guber-
material race, but up to this writing,
he has been slow in announcing any
such intentions; his silence along gen.
eral lines might be taken as a reas-
on for expecting some action like that.
DR.. Conley is still campaigning, and,
as may be seen in another column,
will be on the Eastern Shore all the
week, winding up with a weekend
trip to Ocean City.
Herbert O'Conor is the accepted
candidate for Attorney General in the
Richie lineup, but the other state
offices are in allegiance. They seem
to be running as free lances in the
main. Whether Richie will be home
in time to make up a ticket, should
one be necessary is not known.
In the county, no new entries into
the lists are heralded. Those already
announced are after votes and church
suppers, lawn fetes, picnics, see many
a handshake, smile, and the necessary
cash for the eats handed out. The
lower house of the General Assem-
bly, has, as yet, only one candidate,
and the public is waiting to hear from
aspirants for the Annapolis gathering.

morning.
Billy Savage picked likely looking
spot and cast his line over. He let
out enough line so that the lure was
deep enough and the tide, which runs
strongly under the bridge, kept the
drone spoon spinning. And did the
fish like it? In just about an hour,
Billy had hooked and landed fifty-four

the day, the old timers gathered
around to see how he did it and Billy
headed an informal procession of adj
mirers all the way home.

EPISCOPAL BISHOP
DIES IN MOUNTAINS
ON FRIDAY LAST
Was Expert Mountain Climber,
But Is Found LifeleSs
Between BOulderS

Right Reverend William F. Faber
Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of
Montana for twenty years fell appar-
emily a victim of his love for noun
tain climbing on Friday Of last week.
The Bishop had lodge in the noun
tains and was accustomed to taking
daily strolls, he being an expert scaler
of peaks although being IA years of
age.
Park rangers and workers, campers
and Civilian Conservation Corps men
had searched for the bishop since
his disappearance.
The body was found by Ranger
Clyde Fauley, wedged between two
boulders on the shore Of a stream.
The bishops head and shoulders were
out of water and only the lower part
Of the body was submerged.
Coroner M. A. O'Neil, of Cut Bank,
said that Bishop Faber died of shock
and exposure. He said no inquest
will be held since he is satisfied the
cleric could not have been a victim of
drowning.
From the distance he had travelled,
ranger believed Bishop Faber had
been gone from the Chalets possibly
three hours when he stumbled, con-
fused, into the stream. He had left
the trail nearly a mile behind and APP
parently had wandered through the
forests.
The dead bishop, a native of Buff
falo, N. Y, succeeded the missionary
bishop Leigh Brewer in Montana. In
observance of his twentieth year, a
celebration had been planned for this
fall by the diocese. Before coming

Near the purse was a dollar bill
