CONDEMNED PAIR
LOST APPEAL TO
GOVERNOR Smith
Chief Executive Denies
Clemency to Mrs. Snyd-
er and Judd Gray.
by United Press Leased Wire

OSSINING, n. y, Jan. IL. -
Awakening this morning to what
was probably to be their last 40odd
hours of life, Ruth Brown Snyder
and Henry Judd Gray still clung to
a slender hope of escaping the elec-
tric chair-without knowing that
one of their final chances at life
was gone.
They had not been told that Gov
ernor Smith had refused interven
tion and officially they never will
be told. SO far as prison authori
ties are concerned they will go to
the electric chair, still hoping the
governor may spare them.
cit is more humane that way
Warden Lewis Lawes said.
Gray is resigned to death in the
chair, even though his attorney,
Samuel l.. Miller plans last minute
action. The former corset salesman
has made his will, said some fare
wells and has arranged for distri-
hutton of the $21 in cash he has
ill the prison bank.
although her hope was slowly ebb-
ing as hour after hour passed.
els there any word from the
governor?' she asked several times
Tuesday.
"surely there must be some
hope
Both of the convicted murderers
of Albert Snyder are calm. Gray s
calmness is described as complete
resignation, an admission of sin and
| willingness to die.
Mrs. Snyder s calmness, following
50 closely upon her outburst of
nervous crying and near hysteria
over the weekend, is described as
that state of nervous calm which is
liable to be broken momentarily.
Gray ate heartily yesterday. lie
read the Bible at length and then
internationally talked with his wife
Mrs. Isabella Gray, at the prison.
Mrs. Snyder remained in bed
throughout the day. She had ne
visitors. She complained she had
no appetite.
Both were reported to have slept
soundly last night.
With apparently the last read tc
I life blocked by Governor Smith 5
announcement, grim details of the
executions went forward. Already
Mrs. Margaret Gray has arranged
with the warden for disposition of
her sons body.
The executions are scheduled for
about IL p. m. Thursday. 1t has
not been decided which of the two
will be taken to the death house
first. This may not be decided un-
til a few minutes before time for
the execution.
Neither has it been decided
whether Mrs. Snyder will be per-
mitted to wear the black silk frock
and the black lingerie she requested
from her mother.
Both are seeking religious solace
in their final hours. Yesterday Mrs.
Snyder conferred with Father John
J.. McCaffrey while Gray talked
with the Rev. Anthony H. Peterson.
Gray has ordered disposition of
the $21 he has in the prison bank.
Fifteen dollars was to be divided
among the IL men now awaiting
death at the prison. The other sc
goes to Dixie Baldwin, young ne
gro who has been sentenced to die
! for murder.
In asking the warden to give Sc

anything for him.

BOND PRICES DROP
AFTER EARLY GAIN
Market Reacts, Carrying
Andes Copper and Other
Issues Lower.

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, October 8.-With few
exceptions the speculative bonds that
have been featuring the market
and which represented nearly 35 per
cent of the entire transactions last week,
reacted today after a strong opening. In
doing this they simply moved in SYM
pathy with the stock market, which had
given them their earlier impetus
Andes Copper today opened 4 points
higher, at about ITO. reporting gain of
so points from the low of the year This
rise was helped by the reports of very
large subscription to the new Andes
Copper rs stock. offered today at $37 a
share. Anaconda Copper rs gained 312
points, but did not come within points
Of their previous high record. Pressed
Steel lose another point to 1T and
Barnsdall Is also gained point.
Treasury Financing.
In the reaction Andes Copper Is sold
at one. time below Saturdays closing,
while Pressed Steel Car SIS by noon
showed Q net loss Of points
Dodge IS were actively traded in
above 103. Cuba Cane Sugar rs de-
clined l y points, though the per cent
bonds were higher. Seaboard Air Line
issues were heavy on profit taking,
which followed an average gain of 4
points in this group last week. On the
other hand, Florida East Coast IS rose
a point and were about points above
their recent low. Easier time and call
money conditions had the effect of
offSetting some of the unfavorable fea-
lures of the new Treasury financing on
a 434 per cent basis. This rate was UNI
expected, and was accepted as an
evidence that the Treasury officials and
their banking advisers anticipate
fairly long period of extreme money
rates. Most of the Treasury issues were
heavy, with slight discount in the
recent Az per cent issue due June Is,
1929, and some decline in the u. S.
Liberty All per cent bonds.
Foreign List Heavy.
Another unusual incident TODAY was
the offering of stable issue of Atchi-
son y per cent divisional bonds at par.
The AtchiSon has been in the market
for new capital so little in recent years
that an issue of its bonds excites much
interest IN investment circles. The
bonds were brought out somewhat above
the market for other high grade rail-
road Az per cent bonds, but were in
good demand from institutions who
have been unable for years to obtain
original issues of the Atchison that are
legal.
Foreign issues were heavy on the
board, with several of the new unlisted
bonds selling at the lowest prices since
they were brought out earlier in the
year.

MEAT PRICE DROP
IS HELD UNLIKELY
Review of Wholesale Condi-
tionS Shows Present Quo
tations May Be Continued.
BY J. C. ROYLE.
snecia1 pisnatch to The Star.


NEW YORK, October 8.-Somebody
has been feeding Americans meat. and
undoubtedly they like it. Even the high
price of the choicer cuts of beef has not
checked the tendency.
Live stock prices have been main
tanned at unusually high levels, and the
slaughteringS have been small. This has
resulted in a sharp advance in whole
sale meat prices. The packers, many Of
whom close their fiscal years october 81,
undoubtedly will report splendid prontS
The cattle grower also has benef1ted,
and while breeding of cattle undoubt-
eddy will increase, the betterment is SO
slow that no sharp drop in cattle or beef
prices is anticipated by experts for a
considerable time to come.
Americans also are eating more fresh
vegetables than ever before, but con-
sumption of these is incident to con-
sumption of meat and not independent
of the latter This has been concluS1vely
shown by the recent earnings reported
by one of the great national restaurant
chains. This organization had empha-
sized vegetarian menus, but in view OF
declining profits was forced to return
the meat dishes to their places OF prom
inence on the bills of fare.
See Danger in Policy.
Business experts are continually
stressing the danger of policy such
as the one which has been abandoned
by the restaurant management in ques-
ton They say many failures can be
traced to the attempt to give the public
what the management thinks the public
should have rather than what the pub
lie wishes. To this in part they at
tribute the depression in the textile
trades outside of rayon, and the nu-
merous failures in the amusement field,
as well as the falling off in demand for
some lines of motor cars, trucks and
accessories.
It is held that this attitude Is In
some slight degree responsible for the
failure of some baking companies to
earn satisfactory profits this year. 1t
is probable tht the public eats approx
tmately as much bread as ever with
its meat dishes, but the fact remains
that it is the makers of novelties rather
than the bakers of the staff Of life"
who have been piling up profits.
The people of the United States are
Marie Antoinette, who, when told the
people of France did not have enough
bread, asked why they did not eat cake.
Consequently the leading biscuit and
sweet cake manufacturers are highly
prosperous.
Effect of Competition.
The depression in the baking indus
try is also traced to sharp competition,
the strong resistance to advancing
prices, the additional overhead caused
by necessity for hygienic handling and
wrapping and the practice of chain
stores which bake their own bread to
sell it at or near cost as sales leader"
However the heavy wheat harvest and
lower flour costs are bringing some en-
enlargement to the bread bakers.
The demand for sweet cakes has
extended to soft drinks with sugar
content and to candy and chewing gum.
