further increase in speculative bor
rowings at this center. General Mo-
tors continued to lead the advance
in the industrial list, reaching new
high ground on the current recovery
at 1881, up IL from the previous
close. This strength was interpreted
to mean that the finance committee
had decided at the meeting late yes.

which made further progress in many
sections around noon.

In the Cotton Market
tBy Thomson e. McKinnon)

NEW YORK, May 3.-Good cables and
the fear Of rain in the central belt lifted
the entire list into new high prices this
morning. Trading was very active and
trade interests were looking for contracts
to take place of their forward sales. An
three inches at New Orleans during the
night caused some selling around noon.
but the volume was surprisingly small. No
ton it will be necessary for the trade TO
buy in order to obtain partial insurance
against their contracts to deliver the char
acter of cotton which Is grown in the
delta. but from the action of the market
it must be large amount. There is no
change to be seen in the general appear
market should be bought on all declines
ms the seller is entirely on the defensive.

A weak tendency set in in the calf
market, ranging weak to so cents
lower. The bulk of the 1,100-head
run went at $11.50 down, a few odd
head bringing $12.
Considering the unattractive quail
ity of the 800 sheep and lambs,
prices were about steady. Some

westerns, $14.50, and fat light ewes,

Cattle Strong to Higher;
Calves Weak to Lower,
and Sheep Steady.

Weakness predominated in the To-
cal hog market again today. While
a few early loads sold at about
steady prices, the general develop
ment of the market was 10 to 10
cents lower. This was not altogether
discouraging to traders, as the Chi
cago market was steady to weak.
Another favorable point was the
fact that the top at both livestock
centers was $10.75. AT the Indian
apolis stockyards the bulk of sales
We're downward from this figure to
$3.50. Fresh receipts were 5000;

"No. 1 gave it to her
did she submit willingly to your
advances"
Il should say willingly"
A cruel, ice-cold picture of Mrs
Snyder was drawn from Mrs. Snyder
herself today by the prosecution.
Under cross examination by AS
sistant District Attorney Charles
Froessel, Mrs. Snyder. seemingly not
realizing the full enormity of the
story she was telling, frankly recited
once more the tale of how her hus
band was murdered.
But this time her own answers
told that. although she had hoped
there would be no murder, she had
left Judd Gray near her husbands
bedroom with a revolver and a win
dow sash weight handy.
No Effort to Aid
When she found that violence had
been done she did not examine hel
husband to determine whether he
was living or dead, and although she
did not know that life was extinct
she made no effort to minister to
him.
But :; few moments later she adj
mitted that she did think to hide
her jewelry, fearing Gray might
take it.
After Gray had committed the
murder, she said, she went into an
adjoining room and talked with Gray
for half an hour before he went
downstairs and burned his blood
stained shirt and her nightgown.
Then you took off your nightgown
in Gray's presence while your hus-
band lay dead in the next room?'
roared Froessel.
Yes" said Mrs. Snyder, after q
moments hesitation.
Ignored Body
She also admitted she had gone
into the bedroom to get other night
clothing. but swore she never had
gone to her husbands body to see
if the breath of life were there.
"Of course, you never screamed
at any time, did you?" observed
Froessel caustically
mo" said the witness.
She repeated she Lad hid he
jewelry Under the mattress to keen
Gray from finding it.
Madam, wasn't it fact that
you were more anxious to project
your jeweIry than your husbands
life?"
mo"
Yet you did protect your jewel
ry?"
Mrs. Snyder missed the note OF
irony in the attorneys question.
Yes, she answered simply.
Kept Death Secret
After Gray had gone, she said
she lay on her mothers bed two
hours and half before she awoko
her daughter.
YOU lay there and didn't call the
police?"
NO"
Although you knew Gray was on
his way to Syracuse?"
yes"
And then you lied and lied and
lied about this case when the
crime was discovered?"
Yes"

Red Cross Prepares
Preparations are being made by
the Red Cross to care for 100 900 of
the refugees in camps. Present
camps are already overcrowded
There are probably 100000 homless
in the flood area now and the num-

The death toll, exclusive of mis-
sing, still stands at about $50. Inun-
dation is in the neighborhood of H.

square miles is expected to be sub
merged before the crest of the flood
passes.
Z Health conditions in camps are eX-

each concentration center is estab-

favorable to spread of malignant dis.

Boats Ready to Aid
Boats, gathered at central points,
stand ready with crews to hasten to
districts where aid is needed. AL

more speedily than in the floods

CHURCH LEAGUE
Three Games Scheduled to Be Played at Willow Brook Dta- ,uonds Tonight At 6:45.

The Inter-Church baseball league will continue play at Willow Brook park this evening at S:45 o'clock when three games are scheduled. The league got off to a good start last Friday, and the season looks as i, it would be a fast one productive of much interest. The Kensington Congregational church. which won its first carded contest by forfeit. will have its first playing test this evening against the South Congrega- tional church nine. The latter team dropped its nrst start but put up nice game before losing the decision.
 The Trinity Methodists and St. Matthews Lutherans will play each other. Last year the St. Matts won the championship. while the Meth odists finished second and won the only game which any team was able to take from the St. Matts; deadly rivals as the result Of that, the two teams will resume hostilities tonight with only slightly altered lineups. The Everyman's Bible class, which forfeited it's first game. is scheduled to play the Swedish Bethany com- bination. which defeated the South church Friday night and appears to be a we'll balanced outfit.
