MOTHER TRIES
TO SAVE SON
Any hope that Mrs. Annie Marye,
of Barcroft, Va., may have that she
can save her erring son, Paul. 26,
from paying the penalty the Gov
ernment exacts for absconding with
postal ftmds, went glimmering to
day with an announcement from the
postal inspector’s office that the
case would take its usual course.
Paul Marye until three years ago
was postmaster at Arlington, Va.,
when he disappeared in February,
1925, with the postal funds. His
mother did not hear from him in
AU this time until word was re
ceived of his having surrendered to
New York police Saturday. She
left at once for the metropoUs.
Mrs. Marye, when her son took
the money that did not belong to
him. mortgaged her home and paid
every cent back to Uncle Sam, but
Paul was indicted just the same,
and must now face United States
Attorney Peyton Gordon. It rests
with Gordon whether the young
man will be tried on the charge.
Paul came to New York two
weeks ago with $8 in his pocket.
Out of work and homesick, he had
wandered for three years with the
specter of Government agents ever
before him. So he went into- a
police station and said he wanted
to give himself up..
The fugitive will be returned here
as soon as the necessary papers are
delivered to the marshal in New
York. '

‘Let 9 Em Dance 9 Says
Wise Maine Mayor
BANGOR, Me., Feb. 20.—“For heaven’s sake, let them danee
—and, better still, dance with them.”
Up and down the Penobscot, from the rim of the great north
woods to the sea today re-echoed these words of advice from
John Wilson, known as “the wise mayor of way down East.”
Grangers of eastern Maine had<
been talking of barring dancing in
grange halls and at grange meet
ings. The “Lindbergh Glide,” the
“Varsity Drag” and the other mod
ern-rhythmic and daring movements
had “hit” the country towna and
“ma” and “pa” had been frowning.
“It will help the young people to
have you join them, and it will also
help you,” .was his honor the
mayor’s advice to the eastern Maine
patrons of husbandry. z “It will
brighten the lives of the ladies and
it may keep some of you riien out
of trouble.”
Modern youth, weary of being
condemned and wishing a little con
fidence, understanding and trusting
in these days of changed social
conditions, has a valiant champion
in “the wise mayor of Bangor.” In
fact, his honor is inclined to the
opinion that the young people of
today are better than the boys and
girls of yesteryear—at least, they
are “not one bit worse.”
Youth today is wise, sees that
conditions have changed in the
social life just as they have joined
in the industrial life, thinks the
mayor.
Incidentally, the “honorable wise
man of the East” is convinced
from observation that the only
way to solve the “greatest prob
lem of the farmer” —to keep young
people on the farms —is to pro
vide social life for them. The
youngsters will go away from the
farms unless the lure of good
times in the cities is met With
good times in the country, he
said.

eaulted and robbed last night of her
pocketbook, containing S6O and per

thug, the sixth victim since Friday.
Women living in the Third Pre

street after dark and police of. that
and adjoining precincts have been
ordered to arrest all young colored
men unable to give a reasonable ac
count of their activities.
Mrs. Plunkett was walking near
1507 Twenty-aecond St. N. W. when
the thug jumped from an alley,
grabbed her pocketbook and wrested
it from her grasp, despite her ef
forts to retain her hold on it.
The six victims, all of whom were
attacked in the Northwest section,
have been able to furnish police
ony a meager description of their
assailants as four of the women
were struck down from behind, and
all attacks have been in dark

Fllll SESSION
OIINfIU
By International News Service
HAVANA. Feb. 20.—With the
United States delegation highly
pleased with the results, among
which are Included four positive
important achievements of the con
ference as a whole, the sixth Pan-
American conference embarked upon
its final session today.
Although some bitterness on the
part of several Latin-American
states was obvious and expected,
the conference began its last day
with peace and amity as definite,
tangible evidence of its sessions
which, during the course of the
gathering, have surged from routine
dullness to meetings surcharged
with, fiery oratory and diplomatic
brilliance.
The question of intervention, re
garded from the outset as a fire
cracked with fuse split, has been
• shelved fpr further discussion.
Among other less conspicuous but
highly important achievements nf
the conference, these four stood
out today as paramount:
1. The declaration for obligatory
arbitration and the agreement to
meet In Washington for the nego
tiation of a general treaty.
2. The adoption of a 'Pan-Ameri
can union by putting it on a firm
basis as a non-polltical agency of
continental solidarity. 4
4. Important steps forward in the
codification of international law.
The plenary session today was
expected to ratify the projects on
arbitration and the Pan-American
Union.
lOPPING'
APPEAL UP
An early decision on the legality
of "wire tapping” to- secure evi
dence In prohibition cases was fore
cast as the Supreme Court today
prepared to hear oral arguments on
the appeal of Roy Olpistead and 18
others, convicted in Seattle, Wash.
Having once rejected a petition
for review and then granted it and
set the case ahead out of turn on
its docket, the court was expected
to follow its rule of disposing of
criminal cases without delay.
The convicted defendants raised
the constitutional defense that a
man’s home is safe from invasion,
asserting that under modern day
conditions the telephone has become
a part of the home.
Government attorneys, while dis
claiming any intention to use “wire
tapping” as a common method of
obtaining- evidence, asserted that the
constitutional bar should not save
the convicted men in this case.

Espionage Law Repeal,
Asked by Rep. Berger
Repeal of the espionage law, enact
ed during tho world war, was pro
posed in a bill introduced today by
Representative Berger (S.) of Wis
consin.
•"fhe terrible danger of permit
ting it td remain in force becomes
very real when any administration
continues to pursue its imperialistic
policies in Mexico. Nicaragua and
other places,” said Berger. “If in
tervention in some foreign country
should ripen into sn official decla
ration of war—a citizen would find
himself silenced under penalty of a
20-year prison term if he expressed
sentiments not in accord with those
of the administration.
“The so-called espionage act was
the most outrageous measure over
passed in our country.”
