RUTH AID GRAY
 LOSE IN COURT
Continued From First Pagej

Orondara. Syracuse. \. Y. where hr had been staying for several days. His alibi was that he had been at the hotel over the weekend. and support seemed 10 be given this con tontion by the fact that q Do no, disturb card was hung on the door of his room on Sunday. and that there had been a telephone call from the room. Gray StOWly maIn- taircd his innocence when taken in to custody, and threatened suit against any newspaper that printed his namo in connection with the murder case.
 On the way to New York with the officers, when told ot Mrs. Snydcr's confession, Gray finally admitted his part in the brutal murder. He had gone 10 Queens Village secretly on Sunday night and after killing Syn ! der had returned to Syracuse. From
 this time on, both Mrs. Snyder and
 Gray tried to place the blame on each other.
 1 IL developed that Gray had left Syracuse on Saturday, after arranE-
 ing with q friend in that city, Had don Gray, to set up the Ilibi. Had ! don Gray consented to bolster up , this talSr aiihi in the belief that
 Judd Gray, Wno was married and 1 the father Of child, was keeping a tryst with some woman other than his wife. At least this was HIaddon . Gray'S explanation and it was never
 controN cried.
 Too, Out Insurance
 Mrs. Snyder shortly before the
 murder, induced her husband 10 take out life insurance policies amountin. 10 $g7,00o. She declared
 that Gray forced her into the crime. willie Gray said that he was drunk on the morning of the murder and was compelled by her tosCarry out the brutal crime.
 The trial of the Snyder woman and her acComplice was opened on
 April 2G, in the Queens county court house, Long Island City. A. though the confessions ot both prin- cipals had removed al the elements of mystery from the case, thou sands fought daily for admittancc to the court room. supreme Court Justice Townsend Scuddcr presided at the trial. The two defendants were tried together, under d provi- sion Of one of the l}aumcS laws. Both were found guilty on May 3, were sentenced 10 death, and on May lG were taken to the death hol.sc at Sing Sing.
 Their appeals from the conviction were argued before the court of ap- pcals q month ago. Counsel contend ed that the joint trial was preju- dical to the interests Of each de- fen lant.

If some imaginative reporter has
not led the public aStray a Govern
ment official by the name of Piper IL
about to save California from its
plague of mice Pied" Piper is un-
douhtedly the man for the job; he can
do it better than any one else. but
whether or not the said reporter has
given him the name to lend color to
the story is still moot question.
Anyway, 1t is high time that Piper
hied himself TO the scene of this un-
usual Scourge. Mice to the right or
us, mice TO left of us, etc, ia what the
unhappy residents of that particular
section of California are shouting at
the top of their lungs. Millions of the
rodents are said TO infeSt the region,
stopping automobile traffic, checking
business and forcing the womenfoik
to use chairs, pianos and tables as
stepping stones in their household
duties One woman is even said to
have been on the floor only once In
two weeks, and that was by an acct
dent: she fell off the piano just after
she had made leap to it from the
new gate-leg table that was bought
on the inStallment plan just in time
to serve an unexpectedly useful pur-
pose
Wartime methods have been used
to halt the scourge of the mice over
the countryside. Gas. bullets, fire and
poison have done their share, but not
enough to relieve the situation. Mer-
ced. Calf, that little town near Yo-
semitic National Park, learning that
these attacks had proved ineffective,
has come forth with a bright idea. 1t
has offered it's entire cat-pound to the
stricken region. If any MERGED ciu-
zens. however, have lost their pet cats
in the last few days and have reason
to believe that they may be tempo
ia rily quartered in the pound, they
would better act quickly to rescue
them.
SO it is apparent. therefore, that
Mr.. Piper Is the man of the hour.
And if little advice might be per
mitted, it is suggested that on his
way to the battlefield he might well
indulge in consistent and continuous
lung exercise, because when he gets
there he is going to have to blow on
his flute as never before to be as sue
cessful as his tabled predecessor.

The Heating Plant Issue.

Objections raised by residents of
lexington against the proposed cree
ton of a heating plant for the new
Mckinley High School at a corner of
the site which would thrust that unit
of the esta blishment conspicuously
into view and constitute a. possible
smoke nuisa nee affecting a large num-
her of people have, after failure to
receive consideration by the Commits
sioners, reached the point of proposed
legislation restricting the District au-
thor1ties to a mid-sQuare site for the
building and stack. At a. hearing held
yesterday before a subcommittee of
the Senate District committee the
subject was discussed, with a DISPOSE
ton evinced by the Commissioners to
hold to their original plan and an eff
fort manifest on the part of members
of the committee to induce them to
change their plan. The matter awaits
decision by the full committee. Should
people are justified, a bill requiring a
change of plan will be reported to the
Senate for action.
This matter has been under active
considera ton for some months. The
general site selected for the new school
is one Of exceptional prominence. be-
ing high and commanding wide view
to the south. The point chosen for
the heating plant lies Immediately be
low the school, at a corner which
marks the chief approach TO the build
ing. The Immediately adjacent squares
are all residential, almost all of the
residences being owned by their occu-
pants, permanen dWellers. They are
req sonably concerned. not alone on
the score Of the Disagreement to be
caused by the thrusting Of the heating
plant directly before them, but on the
score OF the smoke emissions certain
to result, and also on the ground Of
the addition to the danger in the
streets due to the traffic incident to
! the supply OF the building with fuel.
IT ia physically possible To relieve
this situation. Another school occu.
pies the western portion Of the square.

Stock Exchange Seats.

One OF the surest indexes of the
economic condition OF this country is
the market price, so to speak, of the
privilege Of dealing in stocks and
bonds on the New York Stock Elk
change. In other words, a seat on
change" That price does not fiuc-
tuate as do the quotations on stocks.
There is seldom marked recession in
the rate. When the market is dull,
because the country is suffering from
slack times, the price remains stable,
with slight variations as from time
TO time seats are transferred to new
members. Then when the market be
comes active, when business is good
on the street, when there is a very
large volume of trading, and especial
~ in a rising market, the price ad-
vances. often by large moves. The
Iivelier the market the bigger the
Jumps.
Recently the seats have been selling
at 3fT5 600, and within few days the
oilotation had advanced to $lS5, 600, at
which price the seat rate. is $50 600
above the low level reached in 1925. II
Is now predicted that the price will
