It was to be Pomeroy's first automobile trip and probabl the first time he! has ever seen a machine. The trip would be replete with amazement for the east Boston newspaper boy who, since he entered the grim prison in 1876 at the age of 17, has never stepped outside its confines. Pomeroy had been sentenced to hang for the murder of Horace Milton whose tortured body was that of the newsboy's third victim, but because of his youth, the sentence was commuted to life imprisonment.

For 41 years thereafter he suffered solitary confinement, a record probably never equalled. Then he was allowed to take his place with other life prisoners. Early this month his counsel, John F. Daly opened a fight to have Pomeroy transferred to Bridgewater and announced he would seek to mandamus Dr. A.

'Warren Stearns, state commissioner of correction, to take such action. There were no legal proceedings but Dr. Stearns made the examination and reported the recommendation to Governor Frank G. Allen. In the meantime, however, Pomeroy had been apprised of the situation and announced he wanted to stay at town unless he could be pardoned.

Daly then declared he would oppose the move since his client objected. Yesterday at hearing before the governor and council he vainly sought to forestall action on Dr. Stearns' recommendation and to obtain a rehearing of the entire case. Daly characterized Pomeroy as a "victim. of circumstances by first getting into trouble in an era when insanity was not considered to the degree it now is in the trial of murder cases." The council, however.

approved the transfer and it was ordered "done forthwith." Along with Pomeroy there will be transferred a number of other long term prisoners whose advancing age or physical incapacity for hard labor have made the conditions at Charlestown to them. MRS.

The syndicate, Lleutenant Barker said, preferred only to supply explosives, but, for an extra payment, would do the tossing or planting as well. "Prices on the cash and carry basis have ranged from $10 to $150 for a single he said.

"and the extra charges for tossing or laying have ranged from $50 to $100 and in some cases higher.

ALBANY SUFFERS WATER SHORTAGE Broken Main Leads To Much Inconvenience And Suffering RELIEF EXPECTED Drinking Water Has Be Brought in From Outside; Accidents Hinder Repairs Albany, N. Aug.

1 (P)-Albany entered upon the second day of its water famine today caused by a break in the water main with city officials promising normal conditions within a few hours. With the exception of a very small portion of the city lying at the foot of Capitol Hill and only a few feet above the surface of the Hudson river, the drought was complete, the fire hazard caused great anxiety, as in the event of a conflagration there was no water avallable to fight flames. In addition to the inconvenience to nearly every resident of the city, and in some cases downright suffering, the hospitals were confronted with a very situ-1 ation, water for drinking purposes had to be brought from outside the city. There was no water available for bathing the patients or for sterlizing the instruments of the surgeons. The work of restoring the water supply was handicapped by a series of accidents.

When the break was discovered in the principal. main an attempt was made to divert the water through another main which was used for emergency purposes, but the intake valve broke and botn mains were rendered useless. Shortly after the valve had been repaired it broke again and was not restored to serviceable condition until late last night, when the pumps were started. Soon after the pumps, which were electrically driven, were put into operation something went wrong, with the mechanism and they could function. Recourse was then had to a steam not, pump, but this overheated so that it was of little use, In the meantime the task of removing the broken of the main and putting a new section in its place was delayed by the breaking of the derricks with which it was being lifted from its bed 20 feet below the surface of the earth.

After more than 24 hours of back breaking work the broken section was finally removed and a new section lowered into place.

The Graf Zeppelin was reported over the Mediterranean off Barcelona. Friedrichshafen, Germany, Aug, 1. (AP)Racing to escape an oncoming storm, the Graf Zeppelin, German mistress of the air, cruised southwestward toward Gibraltar today before setting out across the Atlantic on its second voyage to. Lakehurst, N. J.

The dirigible left its hangar here at 3:25 a.m. and at 3:29 a.m. (929 p.m., e.S.t. Wednesday) was released by its ground crew into the cool starlit night. It circled the field once, appearing like a great silver cigar in the glare of flood lights, and then disappeared in the west across Lake Constance.

The departure was made in the face of of weather reports which told of a low pressure area over Ireland moving in the direction of Friedrichshafen. By skillful manoeuvering and forced rapid progress Dr. Huge Eckener, skipper, hoped to run and evade the storms the low pres-, sure area was expected to set in motion. Aboard the Graf Zeppelin are 18 passengers, seven of whom are Americans two of whom were women, and its the usual complement of 41 officers and men, a total of 59 persons. In addition it appeared at departure a stowaway' had succeeded in getting aboard the ship.

Ahead of the giant dirigible lay a trip. of probably, more than 4,000 miles, which at an average cruising speed of 70 m.p.h might be traversed in 60 hours. Dr. Eckener, prior to departure, however, calculated he would need betwen 80 and 85 hours to reach New York, which he planned to circle before berthing at Lakehurst. An 80-hour trip would bring the voyage to an end at about 6 a.m., e.s.t., Sunday morning.

Dr. Eckener's course from here lay over Konstanz, on tre Swiss bank: of Lake Constance, Basle, Besancon, France; Lyons, down the Rhone, and southwestward along the Mediterranean coast to Gibraltar. He expected to travel from Gibraltar above or slightly north of iT.e Azores, varying his route according to the weather. The Graf's start from here vas one of the quickest of its career. The crew went aboard at 2.43 a.m.

and the passengers two minutes later. Removal from the hangar, begun shorty after 3:00 a.m., was accomplished without difficulty. The dirigible rose slowly once the ground crew released it. The new motors hummed perfectly. It was the third start of the Graf Zeppelin tor America.

Only the first represented a successful ocean crossing. on the second attempt the Graf left here on May 16, only to make an emergency landing in Southern France, when four of its five motors failed. The first trip to America began October 11, last year, and ended 111. hours and 38 minutes later, October, 15, at Lakehurst, after a tempestuous journey. Despite elaborate precantions taken yesterday and today, a stowawa apparently managed to smuggle him elf aboard the ship.

It seemed to spectators thet he had secreted himself on the runway in the hangar the Graf's shaft leading straight to the bottom of the dirigible. As the dirigible was pulled from the bangar he dropped straight into the shaft, and apparently succeeded in keeping himself there until the ship was in the air. When the police saw what appeared to be a man jump into the shaft, they called the officers of the Zeppelin but Hans von Schiller, navigator, responded, "Oh. we haven't time to take him off. None of those watching however, knew definitely whether there was stowaway on the dirigible, and the poss bility was admitted that the searchlights playing on the airship may have given the impressicn of a man jumping.
