Rockville Fight
On New Town Clock
Gains Solidarity
Majority Of Residents
Favor Leovine Parkway
For Confederate Stotue
B, . Stat, CORRESPONDENT of The Star.

ROCKVILLE, Nd, March o.
On the morning of mass meeting
to decide whether the immutable
Confederate, who has maintained
his place in solitary dignity on the
towns only parkway for more than
a quarter century, shall now share
the tiny triangle with the new town
clock, opinion up and down Mont
gomery avenue was divided only on
where else to put the clock.
A sample OF town opinion taken in
front Of store, which faced the
triangle long before the United
Daughters of the Confederacy erect
ed the statue, showed townspeople
rallying behind the lost cause" and
against any intrusion by a four
faced, electrically lighted timepiece.
Mrs. Claudia Riggs minced no
words in declaring that the clock
would destroy the attractiveness of
the statue and the parkway and the
entire western end of the business
district.
1T would look terrible" she said,
"and there is hardly room for the
statue now"
David Bailey was not certain
where the clock should be placed,
but was positive the statue should
be left alone. Miss Anne Bouic also
was opposed to erecting the clock
on the triangle, and suggested it
might be placed in another parkway
farther west, even though that was
under the jurisdiction of the State
Roads Commission.
Chief Charles NJ Orme Of the
Montgomery County police. likewise
favored the site farther west. where
the Frederick pike turns north.
Mrs. Gordon Duvall had another
idea on the subject, briefly to erect
the new clock on the triangle and
move the statue to the courthouse
lawn. where it would show to better
advantage in space less cramped.
IT no other space could be found
Morris Stern, former president of
the Chamber of Commerce, offered
to permit the town to place it in
front of his store, a block east of
the statue on Montgomery avenue
Another spot was suggested by Miss
Hazel Atwood. who said she believed
the town of Potomac would be glad
to have the clock. if only some
means could be found to get it over
there.
Meanwhile. the solitary Confed-
crate stared straight ahead into
space, disdaining to notice the two
ton timepiece, donated to the town
by the estate of the late Walter
Brownley of Washington, lying be-
side it awaiting the decision of the
mass meeting in the firehouse to-
night. Mayor Douglas Blandford
will preside.

Forced to leap from a 5O-foot rail-
way trestle to escape a train which
came roaring out Of a tunnel, r.
year-old Norman Baumgardner was
confined in hospital today with a
broken arm and internal injuries.
Trapped in the trains path be-
cause he was too far from the bank
to out-run the locomotive, the boy
took the only way out of his
predicament.
He plunged into the shallow, rock
strewn Potomac River below.
A railroad bridge crew working
nearby rescued the youth, and the
train, stopped by the engineer who
saw the lad leap from his path,
brought him to Cumberland.
Baumgardner, the foster son of
Mr.. and Mrs. J. Joseph Craddock
of Cumberland, had just passed
through the tunnel with Charles
Crosten and William Thorp. The
three boys were taking a short cut
home from the airport by crossing
the trestle on the city's outskirts.
Crosten and Thorp were ahead of
Baumgardner, and were off the
trestle when the locomotive arrived.

By the Associated Press.
A Senate Judiciary Subcommit.
tee today approved the nomination
of Dean Wiley B. Rutledge of the
University of Iowa Law School to be
member of the District of Colum-
bia Court of Appeals.
The committee voted after a brief
executive session in which members
questioned Dean Rutledge about his
experience and to some extent his
political views. A.
Three members voted for q favor
able report to the full Judiciary
Committee, while Senator King,
Democrat, of Utah, the fourth men,
Der present. reserved the right to
oppose the nomination. He said.
however, he might vote for Senate
confirmation.
Court Expansion View.
Those supporting the nomination
were Chairman Hughes, Democrat.
of Delaware; Senator ConnallN,
Democrat, of Texas, and Senator
Norris, Independent, of Nebraska.
Senator Austin, Republican, of Ver-
mont was the only member who did
not attend the meeting.
Among other things Dean Rut-
ledge was asked what his attitude
was toward President Roosevelts
1887 proposal to expand the size Of
the Supreme Court.
Members quoted Dean Rutledge
as saying he had favored the plan
in the main while objecting to
some features of it but had taken
no active part in the controversy.
Senator King said he did not be-
lieve from Dean Rutledge's reply
that the nominee had been very
much in favor" of the court plan.
but that "he wrote articles for it,"
Asked why he withheld his vote
on the nomination, the Senator said
his reasons were mot important
enough" to discuss.
Other members said Senator King
had expressed the feeling that Dis
trict resident should have been
given the appointment.
Sympathy for Point.
Senators Hughes and Norris said
they had some sympathy for this
point of view. but felt that consid-
Grafton should not be a primary one
because of the national" nature Of
the District appeals court.
Senator Norris termed the court
"the most important court in the
United States below the Supreme
Court" because various laws have
conferred wider jurisdiction on it
than on the Circuit Court Of APP
peals.
The District Court is required to
pass on many administrative rulings
and governmental actions.

Income Levy

B, tie Associated Press.
Federal Judges alone Of the 1,20O,-
900 Federal employees may be ex-
empt from State income taxation
under yesterdays Supreme Court
decision.
Some tax lawyers said they be-
lieved salaries of Federal judges still
were exempt because the Constitu-
ton provides that their salaries
shall not be diminished during their
tenure of Office.
Whether the Federal Government
has the right to tax Federal judge s
income Is a moot question. Con-
gress in 1896 declared judges who
took Office after June 6, 1882. were
subject to the tax, but a challenge
to the constitutionality of this

conduct?" asked Justice Luhring.
Mr.. Stinson said he didn't know
what to think of it. He had in
sisted, earlier in his testimony, that
her mind was normal all that sum-
mer.
You knew she was taking medi-
cines at that time?" Justice Luhrine
questioned.
Il didn't know what she was
taking" the defendant replied.
But you knew she was taking
medicine" the court pressed
"Yes, I knew that Mr.. Stinson
said.
Wanted to Go Into Convent.
When they got to Quebec on their
way to Nova Scotia, he said, Mrs
Stinson wanted to 60 into retreat al
a convent nearby and asked hel
flance to go ahead to Chester with
Miss Shoemaker, but he said he tolc
her this would be impossible and he
would wait for her. She soon re.
turned from the convent and he
found her in tears, he said.
"She said I was letting her down,
Mr.. Stinson testified, that ]
wouldn't marry her"
Mr.. Stinson said he reminded her
that Baltimore physician had ad-
vised her not to marry until she was
better" that he was not letting her
down but was devoted to her and
wanted to marry her as soon as pos
sible.
Their first quarrel, Mr.. Stinson
recalled, was before the trip to Nova
Scotia. Mrs. Crounse, he said, flew
into rage because he gave a tip
of 81 to the head waiter at a hotel
where they had dined, and told him
that night that she was through
with rich mems sons"
Mr.. Stinson said he promptly lef!
her home, where he was q guest
and moved over to the Warrenton
Country Club, but the next day Miss
Shoemaker phoned him and he re-
turned to the Crounse home and
found his f1ancee weeping con-
tritely. He said he told her to forget
what had happened.
Denies Dinner Party Testimony.
Mr.. Stinson yesterday denied the
testimony of colored maid that he
and Miss Shoemaker gave dinner
party to two men while Mrs. Crounse
was a patient in the Union Memorial
Hospital in Baltimore that spring
On the Sunday mentioned, he said
he was in Baltimore visiting his
f1ancee.
The soft-spoken, 54-year-old at
torney, formerly with the State and
Justice Departments, said he first
met Mrs. Crounse at a tea about
1893. while he and the first Mrs
Stinson were living together. She
invited them to call, but he never
made the visit until after he was
divorced. A mutual friend, Mr..
Stinson said, suggested that he and
Mrs. Crounse would be congenial
and he could divert her from the
dependency which had resulted
from her husbands death in the fall
Of 1895. He left his card, and later
called and they soon became close
friends, Mr.. Stinson said.
Testifies on Frequent Calls"
In the early weeks of their ac-
quaintance, Mr.. Stinson added, Mrs.
Crounse frequently phoned him ut
his apartment, and then called
there, in company with Miss Shoe.
maker, and took an interest in the
arrangement Of his furniture and
his art objects.
"She said she didn't think would
remain unmarried long" the hus-
band said. II told her I had no
thought Of marriage at that time" :"
But shortly after Easter, he said,
he told Mrs. Crounse he loved her
and wanted to marry her and she
replied that she loved him and
would marry him.
