0YSTERMEN URGE
NICE TO VETO BILLS
100 Express Opposition to Pro-
posed Leasing of Barren
Bottoms.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PreSs.
ANNAPOLIS, April 6.-Oystermen
from Anne Arundel and Calvert Coun-
ties were aligned today against three
bills authorizing the conservation
commissioner to lease Barren Chesa-
peake Bay bottoms to non-proft-shar-
ing corporations for oyster culture.
About 100 oystermen appeared be-
fore Gov. Nice yesterday to urge his
veto of the bills and received his as
surance that if he found the measures
affected them adversely, he would not
approve them.
Applying to Calvert County, the bills
also would allow leasing of barren beds
to any cooperative association of
oystermen and permitted lesSees to
take seed oysters from the areas, plant
40 per cent there and so per cent on
natural bars and beds.
Oystermen had seen so much suf-
fering come from it, that they were
opposed to the word lease" said Capt.
M w. Windsor of Deale.
Senator Ridgely P Melvin of Anna
Arundel County spoke against the
bills and Joseph E. Joy of Calvert
County said no one appeared to know
just what effect they would have.

this SECTION VISITED
BY LONG RAINY SPELL

An unusually long spell of cloudy
or rainy weather has visited this Sec
ton, lasting steadily for about two
weeks. During that time, other Sec
tions experienced gales, snow storms,
and almost torrential rains. Much
loss of life and property, both on land
and sea has been reported.
Various reports have arisen as to
the effect on crops. Some are of the
opinion that much seed put into the
ground has rotted; others contend no
damage has been done.
Weather conditions, hereabouts,
have been such as to prove that this
part of the Shore has escaped many
of the ravages of the late wind, snow.
and rain storms, and, after all, is one
of the most favored spots in which to
live.

PROTEST AGAINST
CLOSING DOWN
OF W. B. A. ROAD
Road Shows Operation At A
Loss OF Thousands Of Dol
airs Annually

Evidently, there are those who are
of the opinion that a corporation
should not close down the operation
of any public service. no matter If
that service is losing thousands of
dollars every year.
It has been proved, beyond doubt
that the w. B. A. electric road, be-
tween Annapolis, Baltimore and Wash
ignton can not be operated at profit,
but is run at a loss. Still, it must
run all the same, because few in
stitutions or individuals might be in
convenienced. Or that development
along its line would receive setback
if the road were discontinued.
The move by the railroad to dis
continue its service was made by Geo.
w. Williams, receiver, who presented
the formal application to Harold E.
West, chairman. Williams also hand
ed in a copy Of the court order signed
by Judge William c. Coleman grant
ing permission for the move.
The protest of the District of Co
lumbia Board of Commissioners as
serted that abandonment of service
would serve to nullify plans for the
development of sanitarium at Glyn-

LIBRARY INTEREST
IN HALLS WRITINGS

Fo rthe benefit Of the new readers
of Library books, among whom are
many High School students, the Lii
brary Committee, will offer, weekly a
few suggestions hoping they may be
of benefit in the selection of books.
Mrs. Amy Schoolfield, this city, con-
tributes the following review:
An interesting book "Selah and His
American" by Leland Hall, will be
found on the shelves of the Pocomoke
Public Library, classified with bio
graphies and travels. Members are
invited to include it with their fiction
selection.
An American sojourns in Morocco.
Selah, negro slave, becomes his SER
want. The American secures Selah's
freedom and though he has to leave
him behind when he returns to Amer
lea he leaves him with a job and bet
ter equipped for life. The description
of this tale of Northern Africa and
its people are most interesting.

]. R. WHEATLEY
LOSES LIFE in
AUTO ACCIDENT
Was Prominent EastOn Citizen
And High Official In The
Masonic Order

Many in this section who knew him
and admired him, read with deep re-
gret the account of the tragic death
last Tuesday of j. Roscoe Wheatley,
80, president of the Talbot Packing
and Preserving Company, of Easton,
who was killed in Pennsylvania.
J. Howard Anthony, 20, also Of
Easton, a salesman for the company,
was critically injured in the same
accident and is in a hospital in Harris
burg, Pa. 1t was reported that An
thony suffered severe injuries to his
eyes and that an attempt would be
made to move him to Baltimore for
treatment.
The accident occurred as the two
men were en- route to Westminster,
Nd, to attend the funeral of Mrs. Roy
Singer, Wheatley's sister-in-law. Their
car collided with one occupied by three
Baltimoreans, all of whom were in
jured but who are expected to recover,
The three Baltimore men are: James
R. Barrett, BIT Forrest street; Abra-
ham Cohen, North Appleton Street,
and Stanley c. Boyer, 405 Poppleton
street. It is understood the accident
occurred as Wheatley's car skidded on
a curve between Harrisburg and York,
Pennsylvania.
Wheatley, in addition to his widow,
is survived by his father, David Wheat
ley, and a brother and sister.
He was well known and was men,
Der of the Talbot county school board.
Mr.. Wheatley was member of the
Masonic fraternity and far advanced
in the acquiring Of degrees. At one
time he was assistant to Grand Lee
turer Wright, and was versed in the
Masonic ritual to point which almost
reached perfection. He had most
pleasing personality; was a forceful
and magnetic speaker; and made
friends wherever he went. He will be
missed in many ways; and in none to
a greater extent than in his Fraternal
Activities.

dale, Md. where $1,0O0,OOO has been
expended.
A development program there calls
for the additional expenditure of ST.
100000, it was stated. The site was
chosen principally because of the
availability of transportation via the
w. B. & A., it was stated, and great
harm would be done if the railroad
service was abandoned.
The protest was signed by r. M.
Brennan, secretary to the board. It
requested that hearing be granted
before the cessation of service.
The Public Service Commission took
the application by the railroad under
advisement, and will set date for
public hearing. All interested per-
sons will be granted an opportunity
to submit evidence in the case, it was
said.
Claude M. Swanson, secretary Of
the navy, has protested against the
PAOPOoOA &OoAA0OAAAuCuL VI oCIN1COs IA
a letter sent to the Public Service
Commission last week he said the
United States Naval Academy at An
napolis would be seriously embar-
raised by such move.
Residents of towns which grew up
along the railroad right-of-way are
said to be organizing protest COM
mittees to appear at the hearing. They
claim that the ending of the service
will leave them with no means Of
transportation to Baltimore where
most are employed, and will depress
property values and investments.
Probably these same directors ride
from Annapolis to Baltimore in pri-
vately owned autos, and patronize
trucks in the movement of freight, to
a large extent. The anomaly seems
to exist that people do not patronize
the railroads, but still seem to de-
mand their existence without regard
to who pays the bills.

SAVINGS
STAY NEAR PEAK
Uncle Sam Still Favored by
Small Depositors Be-
cause of Rate.
BY FREDERICK GARDNER,


As a banker, Uncle Sam retains his
appeal for the. small depositor.
United States postal savings hold
around their peak Of about $780,
100000. despite virtual cessation Of
boarding and restoration Of confidence
in banks.
Whereas it was suspicion Of banks
which sent postal savings deposits
soaring in 1882 and the early months
of 1888, now the postal interest rate
looks attractive.
Uncle Sam is still offering per
cent, the rate fixed by law on postal
savings.
But interest rates of banks have
been declining steadily since the de-
preston set in. On February l. the
21a per cent limit set by the Federal
Reserve System for its member banks
on savings and time deposits becomes
effective.
The Federal Deposit Insurance
Corp. also has fixed that limit for its
insured banks, although temporarily
it has postponed making the order
effective to allow Congress to give it
specific powers.
Some banks, faced with the problem
Of making profitable investments, are
paying less than 2h per cent on time
deposits and now find Uncle Sam
formidable competitor for savings.
Postal savings, however, were never
meant to offer competition to the pri-
vate banking system. 1t is the COM
bination of depression circumstances
which have turned the footsteps of
small depositors toward the post Office
Before the depression, interest rates
offered on savings and time deposits
by banks were well above the postal
rate, in many instances more than
double.
At the outset Of 1929. postal savings
totaled about S150,000,0O0 in round
figures. They started to climb toward
the end Of 1880 as banking failures
began to make headlines.
They crossed s600,0OO,000 toward
the end of 1880 and went above
