D. 1, pleaded guilty to a charge of attempted blackmail and was fined $100 and costs and jailed for one year by Judge Schaeffer in court this morning. Prosecution was brought by County Detective Weller in connection with a threatening letter received by Loynd's employer, Amos Zimmerman, Akron, proprietor of the New Holland Garment Factory. The' letter demanded $500 under threats of death to Zimmerman and his wife. In sentencing Loynd to the county jail, Judge Schaeffer said the purpose of passing sentence was "not to punish the individual but to defer others from committing the same crime and to protect society." Police Tell of Trap Weller said he and Trooper Lenker were called to New Holland last Thursday to investigate a threatening letter received Zimmerman.

A "trap" was set for the extortionist, Weller declared, and Loynd was apprehended and confessed. District Attorney Charles W. Eaby told the court that Loynd wore gloves in writing the letter and later when he opened a desk drawer, where the money was to have been placed so that his fingerprints would not show. He also said the lives of both Zimmerman and his wife had been threatened in the note. Zimmerman made a plea for leniency for Loynd, asserting the defendant was employed by him for the last four or five years and was an industrious worker.

"I received the letter but had no idea where it would lead to," Zimmerman said as he told of having reported the incident to the postmaster at New Holland. The district attorney told the court the Federal authorities had lodged a detainer against Loynd for using the mails and that he had waived a hearing on this charge before the local U. S. Commissioner. Rev.

Lancaster's right to buy the water distribution lines of the Manheim Township Water Company and the Sylvester Moore estate was upheld in decision handed down by the a Pennsylvania Superior Court in Philadelphia this afternoon, The decision reverses the Public Service Commission which decided that the municipality had no right to operate water lines beyond the city limits. The plan to absorb private water distributing concerns around the city was started by the administration of Mayor T. Warren Metzger. Under Mr. Metzger, the city acquired the water distributing lines east of the city and was ready to take over the Manheim and Moore lines when Mayor Ross assumed office.

Under Mayor Ross, the city first asked the Public Service Commission not to confirm the proposed sale of the two lines to the city. Later, the city reversed its stand and asked the Commission to approve the sale. But the commission ruled against the sale. city then appealed to the Superior Court, Informed of the decision today, City Solicitor J. Andrew Frantz immediately called for the complete text of the decision.

It was not clear whether the Superior Court ruling is final or whether the case must be reheard. In sustaining the city, the Court ordered the record returned to the P. S. C. "for further proceedings not inconsistent with this opinion." The P.

S. C. had ruled that- the city was prohibited by an act of the 1931 Legislature from negotiating contracts with owners of water works in Manheim township.

Its trips these days are nearly always exciting. It leaves the Square in Lancaster 10 or 7 minutes late, depending on whether you look at the Watt and Shand clock or at the Fulton Bank clock, except on some rare occasions when you are late yourself. Then it is on time and you miss it.

The first exciting thing happens at North Queen, and Chestnut streets. Instead going straight post office. This causes the motorahead the car, turns west toward the man to swear under his breath, back throw the switch, and start forup, ward again. Sometimes it has a little trouble making the grade at the bridge over the railroad tracks, whereupon the conductor puts more sand on the tracks. Once beyond the Stock Yards, it goes a-flying.

It bumps up and down with such force that three persons have had fillings jolted out of their teeth in the last month. On rare occasions it jumps the tracks and often 1t passes folks are are waiting for it and has to back up for them. Neffsville is the big snow hazard. If there are any drifts the car will remain in them all night. If it is caught in the morning, the trolley will stay there until the car with the snow plow comes along about noon.

Passengers are lucky if they can -hike their way to wherever they want If the trolley, gets through Neffsville without hitting any automobiles on the narrow. pike, the trip is usually o. k. until the car passes the airport. On the first bend around Kissel Hill the trolley usually leaves the wire overhead, plunging the car into darkness except for one very small bulb in the middle of the car.

The conductor opens the back door, letting draught in, while he tries to put the trolley on the wire again. The lights flash on and off a great deal during this operation hurting everyone's eyes. When the car reaches Lititz it has 8 time stopping on the hills sometimes carrying passengers a quarter-block or more past their corners. However, sharing all these exciting experiences with others makes close friends of all the passengers and promotes good fellowship. Yours truly.

We've always envied you people who travel around so nonchalantly, taking adventure and danger in your stride, so to speak took a trip once ourselves-on the East Belt car -and sometime, when and if we recover our equilibrium and calm, we may tell YOU about OUR experiences.

No figures on the amount that Congress would be asked to raise were mentioned by the President, however. Calls Levy a Substitute Mr.

Roosevelt said at his press conference that an estimated 000 revenue for the farm program would be only in the nature of substitute for the processing taxes killed by the Supreme Court and therefore would not 1 be additional taxation. As for meeting expenses of the $2,249,000.000 bonus cost, the President said no details had been decided upon. He mentioned no form of taxation for the substitute revenues for farm relief. He said he was uncertain whether a special message would be sent to Congress on the subject. Some administration quarters have mentioned the retroactive enactment of processing taxes.

The President said no money was available for the farm relief and bonus expenditures from the four billion dollar work relief fund. All of this has been spent or allocated, he said.

HAUPTMANN. CASE STANDS WILENTZSAYS Declares Hoffman Statements Contain "No New Evidence." MANY 'DISCREPANCIES' LISTED BY GOVERNOR TRENTON, N.

Jan. 31-Attorney General David T. Wilentz, commenting on Governor Harold G. Hofman's order to the State Police to the investigation of the Lindreopen bergh rder case, said the Governor's statements "contain no fragment of new evidence. The case stands as is." Wilentz said that all the evidence in the case "pointed to the guilt of Hauptmann and Hauptmann alone."

He will give the Governor cent cooperation." Schwarzkopf said he had no statement to make. He said he had sent a letter to Governor Hoffman explaining his stand. From a source close to the prosecution it was learned that answers to questions raised by the Governor regarding possible accomplices were in the files of the State Police. Recent charges that the state suppressed evidence, were met, Wilentz said, "squarely in court" when the defense applied for a writ of habeas corpus.

SCOTTSBORO, Jan. Twenty Negro convicts, trapped in a burned to death and two others cage, were probably fatally burned today as a drum of gasoline in a truck caught fire. The convicts were being transferred to another place in the cage. Two white guards on the truck, named Middlebrook and Wasson, were burned on the hands and face attempting to drag the trapped and shrieking Negroes from the truck. Guards said the drum of gasoline was fired when some of it slopped over when the truck skidded on the icy road.

The flames quickly ran back to the drum itself and in a second the inside of the truck was a flaming furnace scorching the screaming Negro I convicts. A fire kindled by the prisoners was in the front end of the truck while the drum was at the rear near the only opening through which those inside could get out. According to E. D. Eyester, resident had pulled plug from the gasohighway engineer, here, the Negroes line drum to get more fuel to put on their fire.

The train, on its way from Williamsport to New York, dived from a bridge across the river at Clement, and twisted across the bed of the abandoned Pennsylvania canal shortly before midnight. Witnesses told of hearing a crash and seeing a blinding glare just as the train reached the bridge, leading to reports the boiler exploded.
