Yoder for his eighteenth term when tne Doara meets reoruary iz. The court's refusal to give an opinion on the matter came yesterday, when the three judges Schaeffer.

Mays and Shanaman. received, and discussed the solicitorship issue informally with the special "judiciary committee" of the jail board, named January 6 when the Rev. Darlington R. Kulp, new inspector, blocked Yo der's re election. To Continue Fight Kulp announced last night that he will continue his objections to naming a solicitor for the prison.

"I feel now as I did before the conference," Kulp said. "I do not believe that there is occasion for appointing a prison solicitor, I believe it is an added expense to the taxpayers and that the prison board can do without one. At the February jail board meeting I shall take the same course that I took at the January meeting. That is, I shall object to the creation of the office of solicitor." The "pro solicitor" group on the prison board will also carry their standard into the next session of inspectors, Jacob M. Bordner, chairman of the committee which yesterday conferred with the judpes, announced after the conference.

He will report the action of his committee, he said, and move to proceed with the election of a solicitor. How the board will line up on the second show down observers of prison affairs were reluctant to predict yesterday. It was believed probable, however, that Kulp's opposition will die on the vote, from lack of majority support. Yoder Has Lawyer The Prison Economy association was represented at the conference by Matthew J. Gibney.

Louis P. Grebe, its president, and Paul Bechtel, Republican candidate for prison inspector, who dropped out of the race in a last minuto withdrawal. Yoder also was there, and with bim John B. Stevens as his counsel. The confab was held in Judge Schaeffer's cham bers.

"It is the unanimous opinion of the judges that it is not within our province to give an opinion in this summary manner," Schaeffer told the committee. "We believe it should be given only after the issue has legally been raised, perhaps through the Declaratory Judgments act. or an equity proceeding and argument, after which the court could file an opinion. On the side of expediency, we feel that this is an administrative problem which your board should decide. We all feel that it would not be wise for the court to advise you in this matter.

Our advice would not be binding. If we were to give an opinion without due legal process, it might embarrass you if you were to follow it and embarrass us if you didn't follow it." "That was our feeling at the prison board meeting." Kulp said. "It was an afterthought that the court be consulted." "Do you appreciate our position?" Schaeffer asked. "We don't feel that this matter has been looked into thoroughly enoutrh." Takes Exception "I want to take exception to Mr. Kulp's position that the special Berks jail act of 1848 does not permit a solicitor to be named." Stevens declared.

"The jail board acts under rules by which it can support a solicitor, and it has followed these rules for half a century. Of course, the court can't advise the prison board unless the matter comes before it in a legal way." Kulp declared that he had objected to the naming of a solicitor "because of the changes which have taken place since the act of 1848." "What changes do you mean?" Schaeffer asked. "The two parole officers, for Instance," Kulp said. "The parole office has never presented petitions for parole," Schaeffer said. "The officers are not attorneys." "It Is within the power of the prison board to settle this whole thing," Stevens said.

Mays agreed that "speedy argument and a quick decision" could be had if the matter were brought to the court through legal procedure. "It would be dangerous to us to attempt to decide this for you," Schaeffer said. "We would be laying ourselves open to Just criticism. We might have to eat our opinion If we were to give you an unstudied one. Even on less Important questions than this the court hears argument before passing opinion." Could Refuse.

He Says I don't say that the board does not have the right to refuse to name a solicitor." Stevens said. "Mr. Bordner said that he thought the Prison board wmIpH tv declared.
