HART RETURNED
To BALTIMORE

BALTIMORE, Dec. 6.-snarling
defiance at police who sought TO
question him, Jack Hart, will.o'-
the-wisp murderer, was put be-
hind the bars Of the penltentiary
here last night for what officials
hope will be the rest Of his life.
It was the same prison from
which Hart escaped twice since
his life sentence In 1922 for the
murder Of william B. Norris, Bal
ti1nore contractor.
Hart was brought here from
Joliet, ILL.,, where he had served
one year of a 14year sentence
for his part in Chicago shooting
affray. The presence of a large
crowd of curiosity seekers caused
police to drop their plan to bring
Hart to headquarters for new
photographs and questioning. AS
a result, Hart was behind the
bars, No. 24815, just 10 minutes
after arrival.
Hart has aged somewhat since
his amazing escape in 1929,
when he cut his way through a
ventilator with can opener and
slipped from the prison roof to
freedom. The strain of being a
fugitive for years has left it's
mark on his face. The desperate,
too, is said to suffer deeply from
the death of his wife in 1890,
while he was hiding from police.
On the way from Gary, officers
said, Hart chatted lightly at
times. Asked concerning his
future plans for escape, he said:

sioners met behind closed doors
today at Rockville to consider
economy measures to be put into
effect January l, it was revealed.
The new commissioners, elected
November 6, intend to cut down
the cost of county government to
the minimum and still keep the
maximum Of efficiency, it was
said. Three of the commission
ers, Frank H. Karn, Paul Cough
Ian and Charles King, all Fusion
party members, were elected on
a platform that promised reduc-
tion of government costs. The
other two members, who were
members of the former board,
Robert D. Hagner and Richard

sections of the county govern

of the present members of the
Montgomery County Liquor Con-
troll Board expire January Is

ON RETIREMENT

An urgent request that the com
ing session of Congress appropri.
ate substantial sums to the Civil
Service retirement fund will be re-
commended at the meeting next
Tuesday Of the joint conference
on retirement, it was indicated
today.
Announcement of the meeting
was made today by Robert Al
corn, head of the conference, who
said that on the basis Of in
formation which has reached him
from the member organization,
virtually the entire group has en-
dorsed the proposal that the Gov
ernment make Immediately avail
able to the fund the $52,000,000
which the actuaries figured should
be allocated by the Government in
1890.
Since that date, it has been
pointed out, the expenditures from
the funds have increased above
what was anticipated because of
the additional numbers of en-
ployes who have gone on the re-
tirement rolls during the interim.
Whether or not there will be &C.
ton by the conference favoring a
general revision of the retirement
laws cannot be foretold, Mr.. Al
corn said.

been received from some of the
member groups propose 30-year op-
