Luther Brill and Raymond Pomeroy each received seven years in Maryland penitentiary, while William Fraker and Harry Ditmer drew five-year terms. Most convicts have served about a year. The drive aims to widen beyond previous Washington county petitions.

Seven Streams In Engine Test At City Park
The First Hose Company demonstrated the Ahrevs Fox fire engine before a crowd of several hundred at City Park last night. The engine drew water from the lake through a large pipe, producing seven hoses at 1100 gallons per minute with 90 pounds pressure. It also sent water 250 feet from the aerial tower for the Pioneer Hook and Ladder Company. City authorities purchased the engine to replace the wrecked unit from the Munson fire last February. A 60 gallon water tank substitutes for chemical tanks, aiding small fires. A reception and luncheon followed at the Fire Hall on South Potomac Street with four to five hundred attendees and souvenir cards offered.
