GRAY-SNYDER
CASE GOES TO
JURY MONDAY
Both Defendants Testify ir
Their Own Behalf, Each
Blaming the Other

New York, May 7.-LP)-The lives
of Mrs. Ruth Snyder and Henry
Judd Gray will be placed in the
hands Of a jury Monday afternoon
Testimony was concluded yester-
day 1t the closing session of the
trials third week and adjournment
was taken until Monday.
Gray, during the closing hours
Of his cross examination by Dana
Wallace Of counsel for Mrs. Snyder,
continued to be suave and gracious.
Asked by Wallace what he had
hoped to gain by the murder of
Albert Snyder, the husband of his
mistress, Gray calmly replied:
"That is what l would like to
know"
Mrs. Snyder, contrary to expec-
tations, did not take the stand in
redirect examination. Counsel for
the widow had announced prior to
the opening Of court yesterday that
she would be called to refute state
ments made by Gray. No reason was
announced for the change in plans.
Both defendants took the stand
in their own behalf, each blaming
the other. Mrs. Snyder was on the
stand for IL hours and Gray for II.

grown was lonely, pathetic Great
nre. Her job seemed done. She knew
no life apart from her children. She
had gloried in being needed.
Then came the finished job. Empty
days and nights Of waiting. And
wondering while she waited what it
was she awaited, and knowing that it
could never come again--waiting for
the old days of busy usefulness and
joy.
Different Today
Today's mother is not the pathetic
woman that yesterdays mother was.
1t is not only the radio that has made
the difference. Nor is it the auto
which takes her down new roads, new
highways bordered with bloss omipg
trees and flowerfilled garden.
Nor is it merely the. new books, the
magazines, the papers, that fill her
home in this age of reading for all
1t is truth within the hearts of
today's mothers--a truth that they
see and recognize today more than
did mothers of any preceding age.
And that is the truth that chill
dren are raised not for self but for
thcmselves-that children arc raised

FREIGHT RATE
ON Ignite IS
GIVEN. BOOST
l. G. c. Order Applies Only to
Shipments From N. d.
to Other States

Washington, May g. (AJ--A new
schedule for rates applying to inter
state shipments Of Ignite coal from
North Dakota. which in general Will
give substantial increases to rail
roads. was authorized today by the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
Lignite coal is now moved interstate
at charge Of 81 cents per- ton for
distances of five miles, with prices
rising until the amount is $2.19 for
400 miles. The commission author
ized the roads to fix charge Of 81
cents per ton for distances of five
miles and $2.3l per ton fer 400 miles,
with proportionate amounts for in
termediate distances.
The findings will end a controversy
which began in 1928 when the carriers
sought to make larger increases than
those allowed.
The changes will be made at the
convenience of the roads.

not for mothers but for their own
/ lives.
And. like the old paradox Of "he
who loses his life shall find it," so
have mothers learned that a child
who feels no fetters will give Of
love and duty infinitely more than
the child Of yore whose parents
stified his life
The Modern Mother
So, the modern mother who does
not ask her children to make her life
for her when they have grown beyond
the home nest, the mother willing
to take some Of the worlds offer
ngs other than children alone, finds
that she has her children's love and
interest and aid as no mothers ever
had these things before.
But we grow negligent at times.
! The bustling, complex world takes
our minutes. We forget sometimes
the biggest thing in life--a mother.
Radios and autos and books and fine
foods and clothes never make up to
any mother for just one line, one
tender kiss, one smile from her child.
Even if she neither demands nor
asks it, give to her freely! You will
not have her always!

INVESTIGATION OF STATE
RATES TO BE CONTINUED

Decision by the Interstate Com
merce Commission of the Ignite coal
rate case pending before it for the
last four years probably will not re-
suit in suspension of the investga-
tion of state rates now saln....
launched by the state railroad board,
Fay Harding, board member. said to-
day.
The state Investigation is being
undertaken at the direction of the
legislature which appropriated $4,000
to finance the work.
In general, Harding said. the Inter-
state Commerce Commission opposes
too wide a variation between state
rates and interstate rates on the same
commodity At present. Harding said,
state and interstate rates on Ignite
are the same but the new decision
will establish Il marked discrepancy
between the two 1t is probable, he
said. that the railroad board will
proceed with its investigation of state
rates and revise them in accordance
with evde,le which may be present
ed at hearings to be held throughout
the state.
Evidence on which the federal body
bases its decision was presented at
hearing held here three years ago
in which the state railroad board and
attorney generals office cooperated
with the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, Harding said.

She is modern mother who sits
here, old ears clamped meath the
headphones, listening with JOY and
interest to that voice "out there"
Maybe that voice belongs to her
own son or daughter. Thousands Of
the worlds great men and women
whose fame leads them before the
microphone see to it that mother has
her radio and knows when to tune in
for the voice she knows and loves
above all others.
One Of the greatest divines in
this country recently travelled 5000
miles to see that the right radio
was installed in his parents humble
home, so that they could hear his
sermons every Sunday.
Singing to Mother
Hundreds of great concert singers
who seem to sing to vast audiences
are really singing for the old mother
sitting beside her radio at home.
So we say that this is modern
mother in the picture, mother who,
in this day of the wonders Of science,
can live fully and abundantly within
the walls of her own home.

New Orleans. May 7.-R,-With
$4,000 persons north Of the Red and
Old rivers already either driven from
their homes or compelled to seek
refuge on upper floors or tops Of
dwellings, the beginning Of the end Of
the greatest flood ir the history OF

the embankments to sufficient
height to withstand the predicted

The gauge at New Orleans re-

the south side Of Old river will be
seriously threatened as the inland
sea. freed by crevasses in the main
stream above, moves upon them to
pass down the Mississippi.
Four different sources were sending
torrents into this basin. The Red
river, from the west, was assaulting
the protecting entertainments with the
greatest flood fn it's history, the
crest of which was approaching Alex
andria. The Ouachita from the north
attacked with another huge volume
of water. Overland, pools were com-
ing from the Arkansas river with
still others streaming from the
crevasses in the Mississippi.
Engineers believed that this water
would meet in the basin at the head
of the Atchafalaya and if the levee
line withstood the assault, it would
return to the main stream, except
such Of it as does not move down the
Atchafalaya.

Murder Of Hans Bjone, Verona
Bank Cashier--Is Now in Jail
Authorities Claim Tucker

La Moure, N. D., May 7.-(P-In-
dicted by the La Moure county grand
jury on a charge of first degree mur-
der in connection with the death Of
Hans Bjone, Verona bank cashier,
Francis Tucker was in the county jai!
here today.
The indictment was returned late
yesterday, after which Tucker was
taken into custody and held without
bail under the law that denies q per-
son accused of first degree murder
the right to liberty under bonds, ex-
cept by special court order made aft
er application by the defendant.
Tucker Tells His Story
Tucker voluntarily went before the
grand jury to tell his story when he
learned he was suspected Of being
connected with the. bankers death.
Bjone was slain March l and the bank
robbed.
claim Tucker was in the Verona bank
as late as 5:l5 p. III. on the day
Bjone was killed.
Police believe the banker was
slain at about that hour.
According to stories told by two
witnesses, the curtain on the front
window of the banking room was
drawn and the door locked late in the
afternoon Of March 1. One Of the
witnesses approached the bank to
transact business with Bjone but,
hearing some pounding in the bank,
believed the cashier busy and did not
try the door. .
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1927-05-07
Door Nailed Shut

The pounding, authorities believe,
was being done by the person who
slew BjoRe, in mailing fast the front
door.
Authorities quizzed Tucker during
their investigation but he claimed he
left the bank and transacted some
business about town before he left
for home about 6:15 or 6:3O the day
of the robbery and murder.
Authorities questioned Tucker as
is alleged to have spent freely after
Bjone's death. The funds, Tucker
said, were in his possession for some
time, through his failure to pay his
bills prior to the robbery. IS
Tucker, who is about 40 years old,
is married and has three children. He
resides on : farm about six miles
from Verona.

NEW YORK, Feb. g. R - Drastic
correction of some recent speculative
excesses in the so-called merger
rails, featured the highly confusing
movements in today's stock market
Prices started upward with a rush
broke wide open around noon and then
made irregular recovery with a few
issues taking their best prices in the
last hour of trading. Business was
in enormous volume, the days sales
falling just short of 100000 shares
the largest of any session since last
March
Other than the fact that the Wheel
ing & Lake Erie and Western Mary
land railroads had filed applications
with the interstate commerce commits
sion for permission to issue additional
common stock to take care of CONVEX
sions, which was widely forecast sew
eral days ago, there was nothing in
the days news to account for the be-
wildering movements of prices. Steel
operations were reported to be slightly
higher, money rates continued easy
gasoline prices were advanced in sew
eral states along the Atlantic sea-
board, Continental Oil increased its
annual dividend from ST to $1.20 and
announcement was made of a merger
of the Remington Typewriter, Rand
Kardex and other companies, all OF
which We're capable of bullish inter-
probation.
Official denials of a few of the
many merger rumors in circulation
-
seeking control of the Chicago and
Great Western, were rather frank
banking and brokerage comment anent
to the fact that several issues were
selling ''out of line" with their earning
power may have influenced the sud
den selling movement against those
issues which originated with bear
traders.
Wheeling & Lake Erie common
opened five points higher at 1O5, col
Iapsed to 66%, rallied to 95 and eased
to 90 The preferred dropped from an
early high of 80 to 791A, and then
snapped right back to 81 up four
points on the day Western Maryland
common broke from high of Al to
25, and rebounded to 2912, off 10
points net, while the second preferred
dropped from 4O$s to %, and came
back to 33, off 5A net.
Early in the session new high rec
ords had been established by Chicago
Great Western, Reading, New Haven,
Missouri Pacific preferred, Wabash,
the st. Paul issues and Chicago and
Eastern Illinois preferred, but most of
them lost ground on the day.
Baldwin was the spectacular feature
in the industrial list, a last hour rally
carrying that stock up over seven
points to a new high record price at
1891. Remington Typewriter, which
slipped from 159% to lat on the tradi-
tional selling on the good news" fol-
lowing the merger announcement, made
up 10 points of it's loss. American
Republic, Mathieson Alkali, National
Lead and Radio Corporation all showed
net gains of five points or more. The
average of 20 leading industrials
touched a new high level for 1927
Call money held steady at 46 cents.
Time money was slightly softer, with
some of the longer maturities available
as low as 43s per cent, reviving ru-
mors of cut in the New York federal
reserve rediscount rate tomorrow. Com

President Coolidge would veto the Nc
