Accordingly, on the evidence, Pomeroy contends, he is neither a premeditated n r a malicious mur­derer, but, he 1 *ys, the jury found him guilty of murder in the first degree on the p round of atrocity, that,is guilty in the lirst degree on a second degrei: ground.

MONTREAL. March 23.—A link with Montreal's athletic past was severed this week in the death of

**Marty" Burke, a member of the famous Shamrock lacrosse team that won world renown back in the 70's. Burke was said to have been the last member of that fam­ous aggregation.

"Marty," as -he was popularly known to his teammates and num­erous admirers, died following an illness of three months. He was born in this city 76 years ago.

As a young man he took a prom­inent* part In athletics but It was on the lacrosse field that his prow­ess and stamina excelled. He was a member of the Shiamrock team when they were several times world's champions and accompan­ied the club on the many journeys it made to various cities in Canada and the United States.

About 15 years ago he became blind and the loss of his sight was attributed to an Injury he had re­ceived years before in the course of a lacrosse contest.

'Jones Law' j GrandJury ! Sits April 2 ! , «

I Burden Announces Special Ses-| sion at Syracuse to Consid­

' SYRACUSE. March 23.—First < barges brought under the new

1 Jones dry law Will be presented i to the Federal Grand Jury which convenes here April 2, United

, States Attorney Oliver D. Burden, announced.

That Grand Jury will be the first to sit In the Northern New

! York judicial district since the law went into effect on March 2.

, What effect the law will have i on sentences meted out in this (district is "entirely unknown," Mr. Burden said, and "will not be

j known until the judges are on the ; bench and the sentence actually , pronounced." 1 The grand Jury convening here

month will be in ".session for three j weeks, it Is expected. ! Sentencing of the first offender against the Jones dry law, a New

j York World War veteran who was \ sent to jail for thre months be­c a u s e he sold a pint of whisky for $2.50. created "great surprise" in the United States attorney's office here.

i Ernest Dougal was the man who , drew that sentence from Federal ' Judge Coleman and the court de­scribed the sentence as "lenient."

| The surprise evinced here was occasioned by the fact that the new Jones Law merely Increased the maximum sentences but In no way affected the minimum. Congress passed the, bill with the announced intention of giving the big bootleg operators more punishment, Syra­cuse attorneys pointed out.

j Judge Coleman's .attitude is not i expected to be reflected by Judges in this district. Judge Coleman.de-

-dfcwWttiir new hrw TO* frat^tf ac­cordance with his own personal

, views but.that henceforth he would feel constrained to «j?ive a mjnl-

jmum penalty,.,of s,ix mouths. , ' The minlmUmy!' which has not been changed bj» law, still permits a suspended sentence or ar fine as low as one dollar as .it has in the

1 pust. I None of the Federal attorneys j who commented on the heavy sen-jtence handed out in New York ; would he quoted. They were ex-! tremely Interested, however, in ; the following statements by the I court and the defendant's attorney: I "I have in the past been extreme­ly lenient toward offenders of this class because I believe it was the proper thing to do and In line with

j the moral sense of the community. j However, Congress has passed a new law. The President has slgn-

! ed it and indicated thereby the in­tent of the government to impose more drastic penalties than In the past."

The defense lawyer said: "I i would remind your honor of thte j Eighth Amendment, not the Eigh­t e e n t h , which prohibits cruel pun­

ishment. This man already has been In prison 14 days without

, bail for selling a drink of liquor. j If that Is not cruel and inhuman4

i punishment for such an offense, I ' would like to know what cruel or

inhuman punishment is." TEAM8TER INJURED

28 Boy Scouts Are Swept Down River

Fourteen Rescued From Roof of Log Cabin and Remainder Are Believed to Have Per­

ished—Harriman Is Worst Sufferer.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn., March 28. (UP).--Sixteen known dead and seven missing and also believed to have $een drowned, is the toll of this flood swept district. Fourteen are dead in Harriman, Tenn., where most of the state's manufacturing en­terprises are located and which have been swept away adding millions to property damage.

Of the sixteen known dead two are Boy Scouts who were marooned on a log cabin in Rockwood. The cabin was swept down the flood with some twenty-eight Boy Scouts clinging to its roof. Twelve of the Scouts were rescued with fourteen missing and who are believed dead. Two bodies were identified late today as that of a youthful Tenderfoot Scout and the Scout Blaster entangled and lodged in driftwood.

Spring flods are now endangering five southern and mid* west states as water broke over districts in Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee and Southern Illinois with heavy toll be­ing recorded in Kentucky and Tennessee. Thesejaet two nam­ed states were practically taken unawares as t3{$ high water literally poured down the hills of the Cumberland Mountains, developing into a deluge and carrying everything before it.

Reports gathered late tonight showed no relief as rain is falling in the flooded areas and is expected t<F -continue for twenty-four hours.

COTTAGE WHIRLS AWAY

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., March 23.—A cottage^in which 28 boy scouts were camping near Rockwood, Tenn., was washed from its fottndatisn *nd seat swkU*£ down a «mUe« stream <* today by flood waters.

The camp is about 70 miles north of here in Whtte Creek, norr mally a small stream. The cloudburst which swelled the creek to dangerous size and swept away the cottage also washed out highway bridges and hampered telephone and telegraphic com­munication, making it impossible to confirm report*.

Byer Girl x

To Remain In Poland

Was Formerly a Patient at St. Lawrence State Hospital

in Ogdensburg. No effort will be made to try

to bring back to this country Shcva Byer, sister of Samuel Byer, 111 California avenue, Watertown, who was deported from the United States to Poland In November, 1923, according to Mr.. Byer. Back in 1923 the case gained nation-wide publicity and was cited as a tragic example of the immigration laws. It attracted the sympathy and in­terest of people all over the coun­try priot to her deportation for Poland, where she now lives.

Mr. Byer stated that he has not heard from his sister In some time but his parents in New York, re­ceive letters from her and she is apparently getting along ail right.

The girl, who was deported as a mentally incompetent alien, is ap­parently well, sane and rational, it is said. . She has been cared for by relatives, her family living in this country.

The girl was a patient at St. Law­rence State hospital at the time of iier deportation.

While In apparent good health, Mrs: J. M. Daly was sud­denly stricken after prepar­ing her husband's uoonday meal. Sha, lapsed into uncon­sciousness and was rushed to the hospital. . She died three hours later.

WASHINGTON. March 23.—-U"-signation of Mrs. Charles Sabin of New York from thv Republican National Committee, has precipita­ted political warfare that threatens to Involve every Republican wo­man leader in Now York State be­fore the party chiefs reach agree­ment upon her successor. «•

Upstate or downstate? Wet or dry?- Progressive or conserva­tive? Blue-stocking or commoner?

These are only a few of the prob­lems involved, and already, they are giving party leaders much con­cern. As is always the case when the feminine vote is concerned, veteran masculine chieftains are disposed to move slowly and care­fully. And among the evidences of disagreement that have already cnopped, up there are plenty of

'signs that It will be well to u. e even more care than usual in the selection of the new national com­mittee-woman.

Six names are discussed here, three of them tagged with the up­state label and three representing

I, the metropolitan district The .upstaters are Mrs. Ithoda

Fox Graves, member of Assembly from St. "Lawrence county: Miss Florence Wardwell, of Otsego, weafthy social .worker wjth strong party connections, and Mrs. Freder­ick Pruyn, of Albany, an old-line social leader.

The downs raters are Mrs. Rut-h Pratt, former New York city alder­man and now Representative in Congress from one of the city dis­tricts; Miss Sarah Schuyler But­ler, daughter of Dr. Nicholas Mur­ray Butler and vice-chairman of the State Committee, and Rosalie Loew Whitney, lawyer and former Industrial Commissioner.

Four of the six are classed as liberals, or wets. These are Mrs. Piatt, Mrs. Pruyn, Miss Butler and Mrs. Whitney, Mrs. Graves is a "bone dry" and Miss Wardwell, while her views are not so pro­nounced as those of the St. Law­rence county legislator, has the backing of the dry element.

This clcmeMt, loader:; a&ree. is * not to 1>" ignored. ,i*JPbere are thou­sands of wom<>n wtye> rorognlse the leadership of Mrs.-JCPn Boole, of Brooklyn, president of the W. C. T.
