UPPER MARLBORO, Md., April 29.— Concern among Prince Georges County officials, bankers and business men of Marlboro lest their business activities be seriously handicapped by the removal of one of the mail trains from the Pope's Creek branch of the Pennsylvania Raliroad yesterday was alleviated this morning with the receipt by the post- master here of official notice that the mail service formerly supplied by that train would, cc.nmencing today, be furnished by the Chesapeake Bmch[ Railroad. ‘The postmaster was directed to route outgoing morning mail via the Chesa- | peake Beach line, and to receive in- coming mail from Washington and Baltimore over that line at 6:10 o'clock | in the evening. Serlous Handicap Seen. County Treesurer R. Ernest Smith, | was among those who protested to (hv: Post Office Department when it was | learned the Pope'’s Creek train would be | removed. with subsequent loss of mail service. The treasurer claimed the work of his office would be seriously handi- | capped if all the mail had to be received on one train, as it would require 5o long | to arsort the letters his force could not begin work until 10 o'clock. Others who urged the use of the Chesapeake Beach trains for mall. as ordered, were Summerfield D. Hall, clerk of the Circuit Court, and the cashiers of the three banks in Marl- boro. The Marlboro post office has grown from a fourth to a second class rating. Only One Daily Trip. By removing the train yesterday, only one round trip is being made daily over the Pope's Creek line instead of two. Passenger traffic on the line had de- creased so in recent years that it had been operating at a loss for some time. Several of the commuters on the line, | however, filod a protest with the Public Service Commission in Baltimore, claim- ing they would be unable to reach their places of employment if the train made only one trip a day.

Special Dispatch to The Star. CUMBERLAND, Md,, April 29.—With the number of visitors increased to over 1,000 today, there having been more than 600 registrations last night, the thirty-fourth district conference of Ro- tary International got under way this morning at the Strand Theater, with the district governor, Joseph W. Stay- man, president of Potomac State Col- lege, Keyser, W. Va., presiding. Wel- coming addresses were made by Fulcher P. Smith, president of the Cumberland club, and Mayor Thomas W. Koon, and the response was by George M. W! well, president of the Washington, D. C., club. The session was given largely to the addresses of District Gov. Stayman and Almon E. Roth, Palo Alto, Calif., second vice president of Rotary Inter- national. Special Sessions, This afternoon was given to special sessions, with the following past district governors presiding: Club service, Ridge- ley P. Melvin, Annapolis; community service, George H. Bahlke, Baltimore; international servicé, Dr. Howard C. ‘Witwer, Lancaster, Pa., and vocational service, Roy Danzer, Hagerstown. George W. Harris, also a past governor, pre- sided at a meeting of club presidents. A move fostered by the Rotary Club of hstm;, Md., n}: the creation of a new conference district, composed of the nine Eastern Shore counties of Maryland, the three counties of Dela- ware and the two Eastern Shore counties of Virginia (Accomac and lt‘lo(;:thumberlund), will be brought be- for approval. In this event, the inter- natfonal conventnon, which meets at Dallas, will be petitioned to create the district, which would be known as Del- Marva. It would contain 22 clubs, with assurance of a number of others which would be formed. Rugged in Contour. It is contended the thirty-fourth district is one of the most rugged in contour in Rotary and the formation of the new district would leave the thirty-fourth more compact. There are now some districts with fewer clubs than the proposed new district would have, it is stated. Because of the tre- mendous extent of the thirty-fourth district, which runs north almost into Canada, it is contended there has been a lack of proper supervision. Baltimore Rotarians, it is stated, look with favor on the move for the new district. The woman visitors, who are enter- tained at the Elks’ Club, were taken on an automobile tour through the Alleghenies this morning, followed tvevc ‘;\‘. Potomac State College, Keyser, . Va.

NEW YORK, April 29.—A millinery worker, who had been ouf of a job for several months, cut his throat yester- day, but later directed that part of $7000 he had in a savings bank be used in an attempt to save his life. Morris Goldstein, 34, was found in a furnished room suffering from gashes on the neck and over the heart. Taken to & hospital and informed he probably would die, he asked a noliceman who had accompanied him th-re to draw up his_will. He bequeathed $2,000 to a brother, Max; $2,000 to his father; $1000 each to another brother and a sister, and 81,00 to his landlady. The remaining $900 he ordered to be applied to his medical expenses. Later, when a doctor told him a blood transfusion might save his life, he changed his will, giving only $1,000 to his brother, Max, nad reserving the other $1,000 for the operation and hos- pital care. Max offered his blood and after the operation, doctors said the wounded man'’s condition had improved, but that 1t still was critical. "SUBURBAN NEWS."
