MORE LOCAL NEWS 1 On Page Thirteen A rift in the clouds which have rumbled and thundered over the stone walls of the new county prison ever smce it first was used last win ter, was seen yesterday when a special session of the prison board was called for 2.30 o'clock tomorrow afternoon at the temporary court house.

The session was called at the re quest of Inspectors LeRoy D. Ruth ana Jacob M. Bordner. Although neither the county commissioners nor the prison inspectors would discuss the matter yesterday, there was a belief among those close to the Jail situation that the meeting would see a compromise between the commis sioners and the Jail board over the control of the new prison farm. wnetner tne prison board or the county commissioners would give ground was a matter of conjecture.

If a compromise should be effected tomorrow, it would end a quarrel over control of the new 700 acre prison farm which has kept commissioners and prison inspectors embroiled for nve months. At Swords' Points Ever since the new reeirrre. of which inspectors associated with the Prison Economy association constitute a controlling majority, took over the Jail last January, the prison board and the county commissioners have been at swords' points. On all votes involving control of the farm by tha board or by the commissioners, the board has five members to four. On the big end of the vote invariably have been Inspectors Mary Archer, the Rev.

D. R. Kulp, C. E. Kirlin, Curtis Krauss, and William Y.

Ger hart. The old line Democrats who have voted usually as a unit, lacking enough power ever to win, have been Inspectors Bordner. Ruth. Harrison Lincoln and William Adams. It is the 5 to 4 majority which has kept the prison board insistent that the board, not the countv commis sioners, should operate the bie farm in the center of which is the new Jail.

If one of the economy majority should vote with the Bordner group, it would open the way for the inspectors to agree officially with the commission ers that the 700 acres should not be operated by the board but by the commissioners, and would brinsr to an end, temporarily at least, the long squaopie for control. Forsee Settling of Suit If the board, by the change in majority, tomorrow should decide to let the commissioners have their way, it is likely that its suit to force the commissioners to pay a $34,000 lumpsum appropriation to the board to run the prison for the rest of the year will formally be withdrawn. The prison board tomorrow also will hear the results of a probe into how another prisoner, the sixth to escape since the new Jail has been occupied, gained freedom last Friday. The in vestigating; committee's report Is ex pected to produce lively discussion. "This last man's escape raises the question of whether Warden Clifford Dry should be responsible for prisoners not working in the immediate vicinity of the Jail building," Inspector Ruth declared yesterday.

"I do not believe he should, and if the Jail board had to farm only the 54 acres given it by the county commissioners, and not all of the 700 acres, he wouldn't have such responsibility thrust upon him." Ruth for several months has been urging the purchase of a siren, to warn persons living in the vicinity of the jail when a convict has escaped.

Some time ago we considered moomzing veterans here to go to congress to demand bonus payment but then we were a month ahead of time and it was wise that we did not go." said Lester M.

Miller, of the Liberty Rank and File association, last night. "Now the time is ripe. We feel that if veterans from Oregon can come 3,600 miles to ask relief for the ex service men, Reading vet erans can travel 200 miles for the same purpose. More than 50,000 are expected from New York state." Miller explained that at tonight's meeting it was hoped committees would be formed to solicit the loan of trucks from Reading business firm? and transfer companies. "We have several hundred men already anxious and eager to make the trip and we would like to take every veteran willing to go," said Miller.

"It is largely a matter of transportation. The meeting will be held on the skating rinks at City Park.

That's what happened to one chap who violated a Reading traffic ordinance last month. He not only failed to find the $6.25 in his pockets bnt failed to find it in his dresser drawer, his grandmother's trunk, or a friend's pocket. He spent a few days at the Berks jail, the monthly report of Earl Ang stadt, assistant executive clerk in the police department, showed yesterday.

CANTEL0UPES LIKELY ON GRAPEVINES NEXT Another Rose on Apple Tree Freak Found If you wake up this morning and find a canteloupe hanging from your grapevine, don be surprised. At least, not awfully surprised. Things like that happen sometimes.

Something of the sort happened toJ Peter S. Kleinginna, Bern township, yesterday. Peter popped, out into the back yard yesterday morning and right there, blooming from a branch of a Greening apple tree, was a big, fragrant, white rose. He rubbed his eyes, not daring to believe them. But there it was an honest to goodness rose blooming from an honest to goodness apple tree.

Horticulturists yesterday had only one explanation of the phenomenon. Ic was that rose pollen somehow may have been deposited in the crevice of a branch of the apple tree and, meet ing up with a bit of pollen from an apple blossom, had managed, against all odds and probabilities, to germinate and produce a rose. Klelnglnna's queer bloom was the second of its kind reported within a I roses!" In tune with the rhythm of spring, Thomas M. Hiester, chief of the county marriage license bureau, thus soliloquized yesterday, contemplating the approach or the month that song writers find easy to rhyme with croon, moon and spoon. "Swell month, isn't it, Oscar?" he asked Oscar Link, another of Oupid's assistants in the license bureau.

"Just think of ail the lovely young things who will be coming to us to morrow, and all the rest of June, for their 1lrAnaal their licenses! Link Just snorted, and said "Tush tush!" "What d' you mean. 'Tush Hiester said, aggrieved. "You don't." said Link, "know what you're talking about. Look here." And Oscar dragged from his de.dc A little black bonk, wherein hut I indited, these many long years, the rccrrd3 of his bureau.

The month of brides and be less busy this June than we were la.st June. And it might be well to remember that last June we were less busy than we were the June before. Look."

In June, 1929. we issued 260 licenses. The next year it dropped to 205, in 1931 to 201 and heaven only knows how many there'll be this June." "What," said Hiester, "do you suppose is the "Well," said Link, 'some say lb the depression and some say it's faint heart.

S.

Route 22 from Reading 18 miles north to Hamburg. The state highway department's intention of removing from Reading its only transcontinental highway designation was announced several months ago. Though it resulted protests from business interests all along the old Route 22 between Har risburg and Allentown, the state remained firm, and today the former Route 43, from Allentown to Harris burg by way of Hamburg, will become Route 22. The old designation, Route 43, will be discontinued in Berks county. Replace 500 Signs The change in the state's highway markers was accomplished yesterday by four corps of 15 men working un der State Highway Superintendent wiuiam H.

Herman. They removed and replaced about 500 signs, Herman estimated last night, in about seven hours. In the meantime, A. E. Zimmer, manager of the Daniel Boone hotel.

announced that hotelmen from Am burg, Pottstown, Lebanon. Reading, Wernersville and Pottsville would meet at The Berkshire at 6.30 p. m. Friday, to discuss methods of marking the new Route 22 so as to deflect tourist business to communities not on the new Route 22. "We hope to place manv billboards all along the new Route 22 between Allentown and Hamburg, telling motorists what other nearbv cities have to offer and explaining how wey can reacn tile principal cities not on the route but within easy reach of it," Zimmer said last night.

"Hotelmen are losing a large volume of business already of the removal of transcontinental routin? from Reading, and we propose to try to regain that lost business bv telline Uhe users of the new Route 22 what we have to offer." Other Routes Renumbered Herman's workmen yesterday were busy, however, not only with the re designation of Route 43 as Route 22, but with several other route changes in Berks, also effective today. Among these changes were: Read ing to Allentown, from Route 22 to Route Hrrisburg to Reading, from Route 22 to Route 422; Boycr town to Hereford, from Route 64 to Route 100. The new designations will make the Lancaster Reading Allentown highway a continuous Route 222, and the Harrisburg Reading Philadelphia highway a continuous Route 422.
