REWARDED FOR
 FAITHFULNESS

Pittsburgh, Dec. 5-(UP)-Twenty five years of faithful service to the spinster Nelson sisters landed Sam uel Boyd and his family in a stone mansion in the fashionable Squirrel Hill district today.
 The will of the younger sister, Margaret, bequeathed the handsome home, $183,35 cash and securities, real estate and the limousine which was her only solace in declining years to Boyd, her chauffeur.
 As he supervised transfer of a few useful household articles from his bungalow a fe wblocks away, to the imposing edifice he will make his home, the tall, blue-shirted Scot was non-committal about the Nell son sistres.
 "No. I can say nothing about them" he murmured. They shun- ned the limelight. and must re- spect their wishes"
 The elder sister, Julia, died al- most two years ago. leaving Marg- aret heartbroken. They were in- separable companions, and Julia's death seemed to smother the spark of life in the younger sister. Tn recent years, Boyd was their only employe. Their increasing in- firTnity caused them to neglect the household duties they reserved foT themselves.

 Controller Checking Up
 Members of the staff of Control Ter Daniel J. Leary are now en- gagged checking over the appropria- tions and expenditures of the num- erous city departments. Where surpluses exist within the depart ments the amounts unused will be transferred to make up deficits in those same departments.
 In cases where surpluseS are found in some departments that arc not needsd in the same depart ments but can be used to balance items in other divisions of the city government, inter-departmental transfers will be set up and pre- sented to the finance commission CTS and aldermen for approval.
 Aldermanic Sessions
 While the aldermen will meet next Monday night, primarily to approve the 1936 budget, which calls for tax reduction and an increase in pay for city employees, the board will meet once or twice more before December 31st to pass on transfers.
 The final meeting will be on the 30th or 31st when final transfers will be made so that the 1885 books can be closed and the new ones left ready for opening on January 1st, 1036.,

 BIG PROSPECTS

 Christmas clubs will pay $312, 900. :. 900 to 100000 members; much o1 this money will go into Chrlstmas trade.
 Bigger Than Last Year

CONVICTSSAFEON ON
 MURDER CHARGE

Boston, Dec. 5.-(UP)-The three surviving convicts of Tuesdays bloody states prison break appar- ently were cleared of flrst-degree murder charges today when Q med- ical-examiner reported that a slain civilian died from a bullet wound inflicted by a guard.
 Authorities had hoped to send Charles O'Brien of Dorchester, Ed ward McArdle of Somerville, and Frank Joyce of Brookline to the electric chair on grounds that their abortive escape plot resulted in the death of Lewis D. Richards, 27, of Somerville, civilian employe of the prison.
 But on receipt of Medical-Exam- iner William J. Brickley's final re- port today, District-Attorney Will liam J. Foley of Suffolk county said:
 "That apparently wipes out the murder charges.
 Dr. Brickley found that Richards died instantly from a bullet wound. Previously Richards had been blud- geoned by hte prison breakers and authorities had tried to establish that he was already mortally wounded when shot while being used as shield against the bullets of pursuing guards.

"We do not know anything about them" he said. we have received no communications on them and therefore sees no foundation for the optimism reported in the foreign press"
 No Significance
 The spokesman characterized the current withdrawal of several Bri- tish warships from the Mediter. ranean as "a purely technical meas ure without political significance"
 In other quarters it was learned Count Charles De Chambrun, French ambassador, will receive im- portant instructions from Paris to- night about the reported peace plan" and will communicate them to Premier Benito Mussolini.
 Mussolini remained ready to con- slider any peace proposals. But there was no sign of national weak ening in the pursuit of the East African venture on the fight against League of Nations penalties.

ROOSEVELT WAS. HELD FOR JURY.
Grandson of Late Presi- dent Roosevelt to Be
 Tried in Gun Case

Cambridge, Mass, Dec. 5-(UP)- Cornelius Van Schaack Roosevelt, 2Oyear-old grandson of the late President Theodore Roosevelt, fol- lowing a brief but dramatic hearing today, was ordered held for the Middlesex county grand jury as an alleged air pistol Sniper.
 District Judge Robert B. Walcott found probable cause against both young Roosevelt, son of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt of New York and his co-defendant, Peter De- Flores, q, of Pomfret, Conn.
 Both were bound over to the grand jury in continued bail of $2OO each, on specific charge of assault with a dangerous weapon. carrying a possible maximum penalty of ? 1-2 years Imprisonment.
 What Judge Said
 In holding the pair for the grand jury. Judge Walcott said;
 The court does not appreciate the playfulness that might have put out the eye of 8 man carrying a gasoline can, or those of police officers"
 The court apparently was unim- pressed by a courtroom demonstra- ton intende dto prove that the two air pistols allegedly used by the de- fendants for sniping were harmless playthings.
 De Flores father, Luis De Flores, New York civil engineer, permitted Edward Seibolt, Boston police bal- listician. to fire one of the pistols at him at close range, and the bul- let bounced harmlessly off his chest.
 Pellets Could Kill
 But later Seibolt testified that previous tests had convinced him that the pellets fired from the pis- tol = about double the size of an ordinary BIB shot - might kill a person at distance of 50 feet if 1t struck him in the temple.
 The two defendants, fellow stu dents at Massachusetts Institute of technology, were arrested in their room at Delta Psi Fraternity House the night of November q after al- legedly taking potshots at passing motorists. Two air pistols of Ger man manufacture were seized.
 Both youths testified briefly in their own defense and admitted fir ing the shots.

 REPEAL TODAY
Drys Still Hope to Put Prohibition Back; Vets
 Show Big Figures

Washington, Dec. 5-(UP))-The second anniversary of repeal today found the liquor issue still before the country, with dry forces pre- dieting a return to prohibition within the next 10 years. Only seven states are today dry. Before prohibition, all but IT states were dry or partly dry. A United Press survey disclosed that since Dec 5. 1883, when Utah became the 18th state to ratify the Fist (repeaD constitutional amendment, the fed- eral treasury's pocketbook has bulg- ed with $865, 900, 900 in liquor taxes from all sources. It was estimated that additional levies from states and municipalities would boost the total to about $1, 100, 900, 900. Mean time, prohibitionists are denouncing repeal as a failure and are pressing the claim that drunken driving has been responsible for numerous au- tomobile fatalities. Vets are claim ing valuable economic gains as a result of booming liquor business.
 Treasury Gains
 As the anniversary arrived with no unusual celebrations scheduled, the treasury released statistics showing that $27,117,9i5 had been
