Lowers Rates on
Hay Shipments

Reduced rates on hay shipments
have been made by the Chicago, Mil
waukee and st. Paul railway COM
pany, effective March 10, according
to information received by the state
railroad board.
The new schedules are not emer-
gency rates but will supplant the old
tariffs on this commodity. Persons
having any difficulty in connection
with the application of the new
rates are asked by the railroad board
to send their bills to the boards
traffic department for adjustment.
An analysis shows that reductions
under the new schedule begin on
shipments travelling 80 miles, rates
on mileage lower than that figure
being the same as under the old
schedule. The maximum reduction is
on shipments travelling $50 miles, the
old rate being PAS cents and the new
tariff 20 cents.

KNOWLEDGE OF CRIME

hotel here early today, heard him.
self accused of the murder of Albert
Snyder, As, art editor of Motor Boat
ing Magazine. who was killed in his
home in Queens Village, New York,
early Sunday morning.
Gray, a corset salesman, heard the
accusation with no show of emotion.
He shrugged his. shoulders and made
a flat denial of the crime. Then he
asked regarding his wife and child,
who lived at East Orange.
The accusation was founded upon
the signed confession made in New
York by Mrs. Ruth Snyder, 32, wife
of the slain man. In that confess
sion, according to dispatches from
New York, Mrs. Snyder named Gray
as the actual slayer Of her husband.
His death. she stated. was planned as
the means of making it possible for
her to wed the man held here.
Will Be Charged With Murder
When the officers had finished
their questioning, he was led to a
cell to await removal to New York
city, where, it was indicated, he will
be formally accused of the murder
of Snyder.
From the very start he denied all
knowledge of the crime. He admitted
he knew Mrs. Snyder. He stated,
however, that he had not been in the
vicinity Of New York city for weeks.
he described the accusation as "ridi-
culous."
Gray, according to the police, ad-
nitted his love for Mrs. Snyder. He
said, according to Chief Cabin. that
he had been intimate with the wom-
an. But he declared that he had never
even seen Snyder.
II was too clever to 60 to the
house." Gray said to the police. He
