Rockville High Has High
Hopes For Spring Teams

Rockville High School has lost sew
eral stars from its last years dia-
mond, track and tennis teams, but
Coach Allen vogt is still optimistic
over the 1885 schedule.
Lack Of experience on the part Of
the baseball team is causing Vogt
many anxious moments. Gene Och
senreiter, at third, Durbin in center
field and Darby at first are the only
men sure Of their positions.
Transfers, including Aud, formerly
Of Poolesville, and Barber, husky
backstop, formerly of Gaithersburg,
may be the starting battery. Bill
Cleveland and Ziska will complete the
mound staff.
Four new tennis courts in the rear
of the school are proving a boon to
court interest. Charles and Stewart
Nicewarner, proteges of Barney
Welsh, National Public Parks tennis
champion, will head the team, with
Tony Baker and Gene Ochsenreiter
completing it. Matches are pending
with District prep schools.
Practically the entire track team
that captured second place last year
in the county meet is lost via grad
uation. His team will compete in the
&C" meet, an" meet, county meet and
triangular meet pending among
county schools.
The baseball schedule:
April 2-Georgetown Prep, at Gar
rett Park; IL, Poolesville, at Pooles-
vile; 10, Damascus, at Rockville; 10,
Gaithersburg, at Gaithersburg; 26,
Friends Prep, at Friends.

mascus, at Damascus; II, Sherwood,
at Sandy Spring; II, Poolesville, at

Plot Is
Denied By 'Gunman'
In Lyddane Case
Defense Charges Whole Thing Is
Frame-up; Arrangement Set
For Monday

Things looked brighter for the de-
Tense in the alleged murder plot
which has stirred Rockville this week
as attorneys for Mrs. Anne Lyddane
claimed last night that the reputed
gunman in the case denies any COM
plicity in the reported scheme to get
rid of her husband, Francis Lyddane.
The "gunnan," Henry Thomas, has
been sought by police for several
days, since Mrs. Lyddane, John II.
CARMEL and John M. Boland were
arrested. The woman and Boland
are charged with conspiracy to kill
Francis Lyddane, the woman's hus-
band.
Kenneth Lyddane, a cousin of
Francis Lyddane, and State Senator
Stedman Prescott, attorneys for Mrs.
Lyddane, found Thomas yesterday in
Washington, they said. He admitted
knowing CARMEL and Boland but de-
MED that he knew Mrs. Lyddane or
had had any dealing with her. He
is willing to go into Montgomery
County to make this statement 10
States Attorney James H. Pnlgh if
Pugh will promise not to arrest him,
he told the lawyers.
The defense attorneys today win
tell Pugh what Thomas says and
ask immunity for him. Told of the
offer made by Thomas, Pugh said
that he was not yet ready to say
whether he would agree.
Both Mrs. Lyddane and Boland
will be arraigned Monday in police
court to answer charges. The hear
ing will be held at 2 P. M.
The prisoners, held in Rockville
Jail, one on q charge OF having been
hired by Mrs. Lyddane to kill her
husband, are John H. CARMEL, of
Rockville, and John M. Boland, Of
Washington.
CarneE Is being held as material
witness. He is said to have been the
informant in the odd case. Boland
lis held as a participant under 5000
bond.
Both men, through their attorneys,
vigorously denied participation in the
plot to slay Francis Lyddane, the
woman's husband.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Lyddane, released
in custody of her attorneys, was at
liberty yesterday-reunited with her
husband-the man she is accused Of
marking for death.
In an interview with a represen-
tative of THE SENTINEL yesterday,
Mr.. Lyddane said that he believed
in his wife's innocence and thought
he knew "just where and when such
a runor started"

Objects To Law
On Liquor Sales
Rockville Attorney And Author
Of Local Option Law Sees
Effects Harmful

The bill passed authorizing the
sale of liquor with meals in the
Fourth, Eighth and Twelfth Dis
tricts of Montgomery County is
being drastically criticised by George
Il. Lamar, Rockville attorney and
author of the county local option law
OF over half a century ago. Mr..
Lamar gave his opinion of the law
in letter to State Senator Sted-
man Prescott previous to the passage
OF the bill. He said, in part:
Il had the honor to spresent to the
Montgomery County delegation, at a
previous session, the protests Of 2,7O0
reputable cizitens, through petitions,
opposing repeal of our local option
law, contrary to the edict of the peo-
PIE Of the county. by direct vote, more
than so years ago."
I'm my opinion, to the extent that
the action taken was to the contrary,
the effects have been deleterious, both

AS WE SEE 1T
By MoNTco


FOWLER, woe to him who attempts
to "smuggle" into the county over one
quart of liquor at one time or more
than two quarts a month. The Gull
prit who would dare do so is virtually
"bootlegger", according to Mr..
Fowler, who is chairman of the new
County Liquor Control Board. Of
course, we realize that the profits (if
there are any go to school and road
funds. But the idea is so preposterous,
when you come to think of enforcing
such mandate, that the whole stu
alton becomes ludicrous.
1t is well to think first of Mont
gomery County. Your money should
be spent at home. But such ruling
as the liquor board would enforce,
will result in the same situation as
obtained during prohibition. Liquor
has always been brought into the
county, even before prohibition. Sup
pose some well-meaning citizen was
the recipient Of five-gallon jug of
whiskey donated by a Washington
friend. Picture a policeman stopping
him at the District Line and confscat-
ing the cargo. He would be guilty
under the regulations, however in
nocent he might be. Then too, we
wonder what will constitute this
Campaign of education" of which we
hear something of late.
WHILE ON THE SUBJECT, there
is an election coming off Tuesday,
April %, when the citizens of seven
election districts go to the polls to
decide whether or not the system in
vogue pertasningvto thee sale of beer
and light wines shall be continued.
The election does not permanently
settle any wet or dry question.
The ballot will read "Shall The
License System Now In Effect In
Other Parts Of Montgomery County
Be Extended To Election Dis
trict Of Montgomery County?"
Personally we believe that every
district voting on April % will go
dry. Because of several ill-conducted
places, the situation is intolerable
in certain localities. But the same old
proposition crops up-legislation will
never stop drinking. Mr.. Lamar
voices strenuous opposition to the
Prescott bill which authorizes the
sale of liquor with meals at tea
houses, inns and high class clubs and
restaurants. Why should they not sell
liquor if they cater to city folk and
conduct their businesses in the prop
er manner? It is the small, fy-by-
night stands which cause all Of the
trouble. 1t is not a question of 9re-
ligious or even moral grounds, it is
a question of common-sense. There is
not much evidence that this proposed
law Of Nippy Prescott's would in any
way damage property investments.
As much as we hate to disagree with
our friend Mr.. George Lamar, we
must on this stand. We believe that
the rural districts should be dry if
such is the sentiment-and we believe
such is the sentiment! We are con-
WINGED that the opinion in the subur-
ban areas is altogether different
matter.

That is the way feel. It's Sat-

She recognized this as merely a
pretty speech, but was conscious of
a stimulating sense of adventure as
he helped her in his car.
Have you ever been to Molin-
ari's?" he asked.
NO, but I've heard about it. I'd
love TO go there"
You shall" he promised. Later.

said she was having date with the
lumberman from Seattle, but when
Irene put her key in the lock she
opened the door to the sight Of Eve
closely held in strange mans arms
I'm sorry" faltered Irene.
Eve said unabashed, This is Mr..
Carney. He's just returned from
Los Angeles"
So it wasn't the iumberman after
all but the vacuum cleaner man
But what did it matter? In either
case they had wrecked the living
room. Stubs from several dozen
cigarets, two sticky, empty glasses,
the scattered pages Of a newspaper
and Ewes discarded coat, hat, gloves
and pocketbook Uttered the place.
Irene went into her own room and
shut the door and after awhile Eve
came in.
We're leaving now. If any one
telephones say I've been called out
Of town"
do you mean you're going away
fer the week-end?"
Certainly not! That's merely my
story for the big lumberman. You
see, didn't expect Dick back until
next week"
THEY had no sooner gone than
Il the absent citizen Of Seattle was
telephoning. Irene gave him Ewes
message, sympathizing with his dis
appointment.
Flirting was a game it seemed
either sex could play. But what was
the use? Where did it get yoa? She
would have preferred more stable
type of romance like Bills and Vir-
ginia's.
Half an hour later the telephone
rang again and this time it was
Clarence Turner.
1T so happens" he said in his
usual pleasant voice, that I've been
released from an engagement I
made several weeks ago. Would it
be asking too much of you to come
back to the city again tonight? I'll
be glad to drive over for you"
Irene gazeG about the disordered
living room.
Meet me at the ferry instead"
she suggested.
Right" he agreed briefly, but
this time the eagerness in his voice
was unmistakable.
"All of which helps" Irene ad-
mitted as, refreshed by bath and
a cup of hot tea, she dressed in her
best dinner dress. She had bought
it at an after Christmas sale but it
had been expensive and it was jade
green to match her eyes.
IF I'm going out with him often,
III need more Clothes" she was
thinking en- route to the boat.
1t was fun to plan to spend a
large part of the first check she
would receive as an air hostess fol-

able to afford while still in training

day his manner seemed to have be-

! Hello, Irenel How does it feel to
be a lady Of leisure?"
Leisure nothing" Irene smiled.
You'd be surprised how I have to
work"
you look like Mrs. Astorbilt," the
othe. retorted
Well. that was fine That was
just what she needed before facing
those upper floors where at any
moment she might meet dark eyed
young inferno.
Where's Pete?" she demanded.
] "Women's surgical-418."
Riding up in the elevator, Irene
expected to see Bart at any moment.
An inferno did get on at the third
I floor but it was only Charlie Robin
son. Pasty-faced lazy Charlie!
Hello, Irene" he said. How does
it feel to sail around in the clouds?"
Why did every one ask the same
silly question? AS if what she was
doing were nothing but chiid's
play.
-Four, pleased"
There he was at the far end of
the corridor disappearing into the
chartroom. If he had turned his
head. he would have seen her. But
he hadn't. A surge of longing like
a physical spasm swept her whole
body leaving her weak.
She hadn't dreamed it would
hurt like this. Merely the glimpse
of him, calmly indifferent, going
about his business. She should have
stayed away. Should have known
better than to run the risk Of meet
ing him.
White-faced and shaking, she
knocked at Alb to tell Pete where
she would be; then, afraid to wait
for the elevator she hurried down
the stairs, out the door, and to
Petes apartment a block away.
When Pete arrived, Irene was
sitting il chair staring out the
window.
Whats the trouble with you and
Bartlett?" questioned the nurse,
finging herself upon the day-bed.
NO trouble" Irene denied. you
said yourself it would be a mistake
for us to marry"
so what? You aren't trying to
imply that you are following my
advice?'
Not exactly but I decided that
everything considered it would be
better for me to go to work. I've
always had a secret yen to fly"
Have you indeed?" Pete inquired
dryly. Il suppose you haven't heard
that Bart is going into DR.. Rea-

cigarette.

Nor that he's being seen every

nothing.

nurse. you should have known
Bartlett Ralston hasn't thought
in his head but surgery. He would

It was a relief an hour and a
half later to be crossing the bay.
Leaving the hospital and its mem
cries behind her.
THANK goodness I've a place of
my own 70 go to-" Irene thought.
Not just a room in a hotel"
The vision of the apartment
clean and tidy as she had left it
cheered her. She would cook her
own dinner and have a quiet eve

IS co on WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER FIVE

IRENE told herself it was Pete
l. Evans she wanted to see. Pete
had telephoned that she had E. case
at the hospital. If Irene hurried she
could catch her there before Pete
went of duty. The fact that she
hoped also to run into Bartlett Raj
ston was not admitted to her con-
scious mind.
She told herself she couldn't re-
main away from the hospital too
long or the girls would think it
queer. Besides. wouldn't Bart him
self think she was hurt worse if she
never appeared than if she Old?
The sight of her looking re-
markedly well in the black suit,
wearing gardenias which obviously
had not been bought on the street,
should convince him that she was
not exactly having a nervous break
down over him, she argued, walk
ing up the hospital steps.
Her heart was beating thickly as
she approached the desk. The old
familiar smells and sounds had
greeted her like forgotten friends,
This had, after all, been her entire
world for three years.
She stopped in the children's ward
and came away without the gar
denias which she had placed in the
apathetic hand of the youngster
suffering from anemia. And then
she must run into 210 to see if the
carcinoma case had died yet. The
poor soul had been there almost a
year.
The floor nurse spoke to her
eagerly.
