Carter as a result of his conviction several weeks ago by a Criminal Court jury on a deadly weapon charge. The jury acquitted the war hero on more serious cnarges ot roD- bery and assault with intent to murder. The cases grew out "of a September 5 shooting near Spurrier's home in the 3100 block of Guilford avenue after he and a friend haa quarreled while drinking.

He was an excellent student but his prowess on the football field stirred the public imagination and throughout his life he was remembered as one of "Poe brothers- of Princeton" as often as he was mentioned as a public official or a man of eminence before the bar. Poe was graduated from Princeton in .1891 and came back t6 takeup the study of law in the office his father 'and "at 'the University of Maryland, from which he was graduated in 1891 Travels Abroad followed thirteen months of travel abroad as a tutor with a family of means before he once more was in Maryland ready to enter his father's law office-John Pjf Poe Sons. In 1900, the young lawyer was appointed deputy Slate's attorney, serving under Robert M. McLane, who later became mayor of Baltimore iii 1903.

For a few months, Mr. Poe, by appointment of the held the office of State's attorney, resigning to accept the position of deputy city solicitor. i Made City Solicitor He worked in this capacity until a il'ormer Mayor, John Baity Mahool, made him city solicitor. The job was a springboard to greater public office and in late Deceniber of 1911 he was sworn in attorney general of The election had brought victory to the Republican guber natorial candidate, Phillips Lee Goldsborough, but the Democratic Poe won as attorney general. ICS term completed, Mr.

Poe returned to private practice and long years of effectiveness in his profession. Scholarly, astute, deeply versed in the law, he was a telling advocate. a Wife Survives Him Mr. Poe's first wife was the for mer Miss Annye McCay, who died in '1928. In 1932 he married the former Mrs.

An Episcopalian by faith, Mr. Poe was a former member of the vestry of Old St.

Paul's Church and a member of St. Thomas Church in the Valley. He was member of the vestry at St. Paul's Chinch in Chestnut Hill. He "was devoted to music and the theater," spending a time each year in New York to enjoy, concerts' and plays.

The letter will also note that Off-Street Parking Commission funds could not be used to finance such lots. Privately, however, several members expressed the opinion that construction of municipally owned or operated parking lots could lead to charges of favor-; itism.

Source Of Idea Would not -the large suburban shopping centers expect the same kind of treatment as neighborhood business men, they asked? The Mayor's Advisory Committee on Small Business promulgated the idea for metered parking lots constructed with city funds. The committee contends that the plan is sound "from the standpoint of the taxpayer." "The revenue derived from the meters would eventually cause the project to become self-liquidating and possibly provide a source of additional revenue," the committee claims. Asked Reactions The Mayor last month requested the Off-Street Parking Commission, the Department of Transit and Traffic, the Planning Commis sion, the Baltimore Urban Re newal and Housing Agency and the Retail Merchants Association for comments and recommendations on the plan. In a covering lettcr he stJa the parking lot plan "would follow a precedent, which has been set' in other large cities and in some of the smaller communities in Maryland." He referred to the proposal as a "challenging idea." License-Lifting Rule Eased Continued From Page 56 paper men and television cameramen at the hearing. 'H Mr.

Public Apathy He said The Block has been allowed to operate for many years as a result of factors public apathy, and the fact that the night clnijs operated in such a fashion: as not to create undue adverse public opinion.

ALso before the board today were two applications for transfers of. licenses, one involving Mickey Mix-up, one of the five dubs charged with violating Liquor Board rules. The other transfer application involves the Melody Bar, in the 1100 biock Harford avenue. The licensee is Morris Mazer. licensees were charged with violating a rule that says, "No licensee shall allow his premises ia-be used as a disorderly house or for the' purpose of perverted practices, nor shall the licensee, employees, patrons or frequenters solicit any person for immoral purposes."

William L. Chilcote, deputy director of public works, charged that Mr. Barnes knew the ramp had been eliminated in the final plans. Claims Initialed Drawing He said Mr.

Barnes initialed a 1958 Planning Commission draw, ing that did not indicate any pro nosed ramps for moving traffic southbound on the expressway at Druid Lake drive. In a letter to Mr. Chilcote today, Mr. Barnes said: I "There was a plan submitted, which bears the initials mentioned in your letter, having to do with a request that northbound traffic from Mount Royal avenue be di verted to Mount Royal ter race. Mr.

Chilcote, who was acting highways engineer for the city during the late 1950's, said members of his bureau did not participate in the planning meetings between the Department of Public Works and State and Federal highway officials. Poses Question Mr. Barnes questioned how members of his department would have any more opportunity to attend the meetings "and be kept informed of the specific details" than representatives of the Bureau of Highways. The transit-traffic chief said his files contain numerous drawings going back as far as 1956. "However, several of the drawings have been marked preliminary, void and other such notations have been made on them to the point that it is apparent no final drawings of these facilities were submitted for review," he said.

"Volume Study He fald liis files contain a 10o7 traffic volume study indicating that the-tiVcrage daily volume of cars soutV'boUnd on' Druid Hill drive would be almost 23,000 by 1975. "Certainly, sin.ee it was indicated tliis was the second heaviest movement through the area," he added," "it was unlikely that we would agree lb the elimination of an extremely essential 'movement of traffic." Mr. Barnes touched off the controversy, several weeks ago when he said the lack of a -southbound ramp'would create heavy traffic congestion on local streets. Reiterates Issue "Again, may I simply reiterate that recriminations and finger-pointing will not solve these problems nor add anything to solving any of our he said. "However, unfortunately, at least for myself, regardless 'of what happens to the streets (: or highways of this city whether it be maintenance, construction, snow removal, enforcementor almost anything else, my office seems to be.blamed for it."
