ARGUE
FOR NEW TRIAL.
OF RUTH SNYDER

ALBANY, N. Y, Oct. "a lP9.-Ameri-
can jurisprudence never before de-
scended to such levels" as in the
Snyder-G Gray trial said attorneys who
appeared before the court of appeals
today to argue for, a new and sep
arate trial for Mrs, Ruth Snyder and
Henry Judd Gray, convicted of mur-
dering Mrs. Snyder's husband in
Queens village last March.
The attorneys for Mrs Snyder espe-
cially declared The scenes attending
the trial were such as might be ex-
pected at spectacular affairs such
as prize fights or circuSes. They made
it impossible, according to the argu-
ment, for the defendants to have a
really. fair trial
. The sole point at law urged by Mrs.
Snyder's counsel, Edgar Hazelton and
Joseph Lonardo, was that the presid-
ing justice, Townsend Scudder, denied
the defendants their constitutional
rights when he failed to permit sep
arate trials. Scores Of citations were
made in support of the contention.

Since then the Kansas City "La
Belle" has made two trips across the
ocean, Art critics have been calico
for both sides and an amazing array
of evidence is ready for presentation
to the New York tribunal.
Conrad Hug, Kansas City art dealer
and agent for the Hahns, recently

tions he had taken there. ArnonS

lieves the Louvre 'La Belle to be the
work of one of Da Vincis students,
and holds that the Hahn painting
is an original Da Vinci.
Thousands. of dollars already have
been spent in the dispute. In 1928,
the Kansas City portrait was taken
back to Paris, insured for $500,0G0 by
Lloyds! and hung alongside the cele-
brated Louvre property in the Salon
Care so that a group of Sir Joseph's
experts might compare tnem.
At the hearing Hug hopes to estab-
lish validity of the portrait which
came to Kansas City as part of the
French war brides dowry If he
does, the Kansas City "La Belle" will
be the only authentic painting by
that great master of early Renais-
sance now in Anerica-or ever likely
to get here, because all the other
known Da Vincis are the property OF

BROTHER DIES
OF OPERATION

LONDON, Oct. "a, lP-The Royal
family was plunged into mourning
today by the rather sudden and un-
expected death of the queens bro
ther, the Marquis of Cambridge, af-
ter a serious abdominal operation.
The death leaves the queen with
only one surviving brother, the Earl
Of Ath1one, now governor general
of South Africa.
The Marquis of Cambridge had
been in poor health for some time
but his condition was not consider
ed serious. Today, however, he was
removed from his country home,
Shotton Hall, to a nursing home in
the adjacent town of Shrewsbury,
where he underwent an operation
from the effectssaof which he died.
All court functions will cease for
whatever period court mourning may
be announced.
The Marquis was German prince
in his paternal line, but his educa-
ton and breeding were English. He
held many official positions during
his life, and had considerable mill
tary service, notably in the Boer and
world war, but, his preference always
for the quiet home life of an Eng
lish country gentleman. He spent
most OF. his later years at his coun-
try estate.
The Marquis, who was known after
his fathers death as the Duke Of
Teck, was granted the privilege OF
being addressed as ''highness" in
1911 and was known as the Duke
of Teck until 1917, when at the
kings request, he dropped his royal
title and was called the Marquis OF
Cambridge, Earl of Ethan and Vls-
count Northallerton in the British
peerage.

idge that the selection of W. Came

would be a betrayal of the policy of

1t is said that Henry L. Stimson,
recently looked upon as the probable
choice, has been back of the anti
Forbes campaign in the imperialist
press. Hence the boom of Mccoy by
the anti-Forbes element.
Meanwhile Manuel Quezon and
Sergio Osmena, Filipino political
leaders, have come from Manila to
Washington, talked with Coolidge,
and are now about to return home
without having received any encour-
agement for their hopes Of Philippine
national independence. The democrats
in congress have shown them slant
sympathy. since the democrats are
now seeking favor from organized
business in this country in prepare
ton for the presidential race of next

divided as to the wisdom of the demo-
cratic administrations action, years
ago, in promising freedom to the is
lands. Southern democrats see no
point in encouraging political indie
pedence for colored race.
