CHURCH VOTES CONFIDENCE IN HERSON
AGREES TO GIVE
ACCUSER ONE
MONTH'S PM
Cleric Also Granted the Use
of the Parsonage; Still
Confined to Bed
ANNAPOLIS, Md., Feb. 5.
The Rev. Dr. Joseph T. Her
son, assistant pastor of
Calvary Methodist Church
here, was given-a vote of con
fidence last night by the
church board. In addition the
board also voted to pay to
Dr. Herson a month’s salary
and grant him the use of the
parsonage until his trial be
fore the Baltimore conference
in June.
The board, consisting of about
25 members, met in executive ses
sion and had so far refused to
give out any statement for pub
lication. Action of the board was
learned from authentic sources.
Yesterday Mrs. Herson told a
reporter that they planned . filing
suit for libel against the accusers
of Dr. Herson. She refused to
make any further statement today,
but it is understood that she is
going to Baltimore to see a lawyer
today.
In the meantime Dr. Herson is
still confined to his bed with a
serious heart attack. He has
been unable to see reporters. In
the meantime it has been an
nounced that Dr. Chesteen Smith,
of Baltimore, will occupy the pul
pit of Calvary Church on Sun
day. There has been an expres
sion of resentment against Balti
more Church officials for sending
Dr. Herson to Annapolis while
they knew that charges were
pending against him.
Dr. Herson has been held for
trial before the Baltimore con
ference on charges of unminis
terial and imprudent conduct. He
was given a hearing on these
charges by a board of ministers
in Baltimore recently.
GITIZEIOLOGK
ZONE CHANGE

have joined in opposition to the
proposal that certain sections be

tomac River be rezoned for com
mercial purposes.

the proposal in an adopted reso
lution.

was the result of a petition filed

of Montgomery County and with
the zoning commission of the
county requesting the “Silver
Spider” property be commercially
rezoned.
The Cabin John opponents of
the petition say the request is
Inconsistent with the plans for

TAMMANY CHIEF DIES AT 102
John R. Voorhis Saw
New York First
in Year 1831
NEW YORK. Feb. 5 (1.N.5.).—
John R. Voorhis, New York’s
first patriarch, who saw the city
grow from a comparative village
to a metropolis, died today at the
age of 102.
Voorhis, who had been in mu
nicipal public office for 56 years,
died in the home he helped to
build with his own hands 70
years ago.
The “grand old man” of Tam
many Hall passed out of an ex
tended panorama of history from
no specific ailment. His daugh
ter, Anna, was with him when
he died. His wife had died many
years before. His doctor said:
“He just had seen too many
winters and too many summers.”
Born at Pompton Plains, N. Y.,
Voorhis came to New York at
the age of one year. The city
had a population of only 200,000.
Its northern boundary was Canal
Street, many miles below Forty
second Street.
The West was a vast unsettled

SANITARY FIGHT
HITS SNAG
A copy of the town ordinance
Under which Colmar Manor police
would arrest employes of the
Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission for digging up streets
of the town, has. been requested
in a letter from T. Howard Duck
ett, head of the commission, to
Bird H. Dolby, corporation coun
sel.
The letter asks Dolby to give
his opinion why the town ordi
nance should override the Subur
ban Sanitary Commission law
which authorizes the commission
to open streets without a permit.
The letter is the result of an
order given by the mayor and
town council of Colmar Manor to
local police last Tuesday night,
directing them to prevent Sani
tary Commission employes from
doing any more excavating wprk
without a town permit.
Police were directed to arrest
the offenders if that became
necessary to carry out the order.
Dolby said today he had not
made an exhaustive study of the
question of law involved, but
would do so and prepare an
opinion in the near future?
