Kirchnsy. former dean Of Columbia University law school and former warden of Sing Sag prison. had conferred with other officials of the society for the abolition of capital punishment as to whether any action should be taken h con. nection with the sryder-Cray case and that 1t had been decided to take none. It was explained that the so- ciety felt that 1t was concerned sole- ly with . principle and not with any persons.

 To PrOvincetown Tomorrow.
 The court will leave tomorrow morning for Provincetown on board the destroyer Maury to view the scene of the collision between the coast guard destroyer Paulding and the S-4, in which the latter vessel was sunk. If necessary another visit to the scene will be made on Friday, but no testimony will be taken at Provincetown, Read Admiral Rich ard H. Jackson, president of the court, announced today.
 No Tender Rule.
 Admiral Andrews in his testimony said that there was apparently no established rule in the matter of using tenders in submarine stand dardization trials on the mile courses on the Atlantic coast and the five such courses on the Pacific coast. In the last four years, he said, the district had been requested to fur- nish sea-going tug for nine sub marine trials at Provincetown. In other cases a vessel had been sent from outside the district or tender had been dispensed with.
 Although I do not believe we have much red tape, routine meth- ods were entirely dispensed with in this case" the witness said. "In this i connection, in my telephone conver- sations with Washington I got the chief of the bureau of naval opera tions himself without delay. I was also authorized to make purchases of material for use in salvage work direct and to retain the services of , whatever personnel was required" Admiral Andrews said that officers as well as outside interests had CO., l operated in connection with the work. He mentioned express and | transportation companies which he said had done everything possible to rush shipments of material requir- ed.

MRS. SNYDER STILL
 HAS HOPE 0F LIFE

Isabella Gray asking that the life of her husband be spared so that their 10 year old daughter would not car- ry the stigma through life.
 Thousands of letters bearing on the case had been received at the executive offices, but, it was under- stood. that from Mrs. Gray was the only one of which the governor took any cognizance.
 Last minute court moves to obtain a stay of execution continued to be planned by counsel for the two pris- oners as the hour approached for their execution.
 Lawyers to Confer
 Edgar r. Hazelton, chief of Mrs. Snyder's counsel. called conference of his associates for today to discuss further legal moves. A difference of opinion had developed between Haz- elton and Joseph Lonardo as to what further steps should be taken.
 Samuel l.. Miller. Gray's attorney, announced he would file petition in the supreme court in Queens county for stay on the ground of newly discovered evidence" the nature of which he refused to divulge. If that move failed, he said he would apply to the federal courts for a writ of 1 habeas corpus on the ground that bis clients constitutional rights had been invaded by the joint trial with Mrs. Snyder.
 Word of the governors decision, unless conveyed by their attorneys or relatives, will be kept from the two condemned, Warden Lewis F. Lawes, said. Their first intimation, so far as prison officials are concern ed. he said, will come with the ap- pearance of guards who will lead them to the death chair. Spends Day in Bed

 No raiss was voted the superin- tendent and matren of the town

 the salary of Chief of Police w. c.
 Hart be raised from 33.700 to 5000. Councilman Warner amended to
 make 1t t3.s00 and that was voted. The building department asked
 raises from $500 to ta.700 for the electrical inspector. $2.700 to t3,000 for the plumbing inspector. and $l-
 300 to tl,400 for tho clerk. Coun- cilman Sablotsky moved that the in- spectors be increased and Council man Greene favored increasing the clerks pay. Both spoke favorably of the three employees concerned. All were rejected. on motion of Coun- cilpan Warner.
 Calls Fremen's Statistics Deceiving
 After Councilman Wilson had made . plea for the firemen's in- crease and presented table of comparative figures to show that the fire fighters of this city are low CT paid than in many other cities, Councilman Larson charged the sta tistics to be incorrect. MT. Larson claimed to have an official statement showing what is paid and New Brit ain is higher than New Haven. Wa terbury, Springfield and others. he said. The statement exhibited by Wilson was not prepared by him, but is a printed report which was sent to all members of the common coun- cil. Councilman Larson told the committee 1t is erroneous in many respects and very deceiving. Councilman Wilson moved that the increase be granted, saying the firemen have not had raise in sev- en years, with the exception of 50 cents a day which was taken from them when the two-platoon system was installed, and later given back. Councilman Cooper amended that a 25 cent increase be given. Both were defeated and on Councilman Lar sons motion the committee voted to allow salaries to remain.
 Just before adjournment Council man Sablotsky moved that the com mittee present the report as a unit and back it in the council. It was | voted to do 50. A moment later members grasped the significance of their action and speedily reconsid- cred, Councilman Larson saying: T
 would never have voted on that mo- tion had I realized it would cut off my right of speech in the council" Mayor Weld Silent
 Mayor Weld refused today to say what his attitude will be toward the salary increases which are recom- mended by the salary committee, preferring. he said. to await tram script of the minutes of the meeting. Whether or not he will veto the action of the common council If the
 report is adopted will depend on
 his study of the minutes, he de- clares.
 Asked if he will adhere to the pol icy announced by him several weeks ago in which he declared against salary raises. the mayor said: T haven't said different"

cd at the navy yard, by telegraph and mall with regard to S-% salvage operations, the witness said. Of these % were forwarded to Read Admiral Frank H. Brumby, in charge of the control force.
 ''In no single case did we consider that there was any suggestion of tm- mediate use." he said, "and while some might have pointed the way to possible use, they would have needed considerable study and investigation before adoption"
 The witness said that the Boston navy yard had no salvage equipment that would have been of service in raising the S-4. Lifting operations in rough water could only be accom- plished by the use of pontoonA he said.
 Met Easy Death
 The court has been asured of the virtual certainty that the victims in the S-fs torpedo room met their deaths from carbon dioxide gas as "easily as If they were going to sleep"
 Lieut.. c. J. Flotte. medical ofhcer in the salvage operations and expert in diving diseases. gave the testi- mony which reveals for the first time that tests had shown seven per cent of carbon dioxide gas was present in the torpedo room where six men survived long after the other 34 of the crew presumably had perished.
 Three per cent of the gas was highly dangerous and life could not have existed when the higher pro- portion was reached, he testified.
 "rhey were all dead without ques- tion.' he replied in answer to a question from the judge advocate.
 He expressed his belief that all possible had been done by the res- cue fleet.

utaries of the Mississippi,
Including Missouri River and

The flood control bill, as signed
by President Coolidge yesterday,
makes ample provision for complete
investigation as to the feasibility
and economic value Of the proposed
Missouri river diversion project in
North Dakota, the Greater North
Dakota association points out in a
statement issued today. In addi-
tion to the $4,000 already set aside
by the War department for surveys
on the Missouri river and its tribu-
taries, the flood control bill makes
available $5,000.000 for surveys on
tributaries Of the Mississippi, in
cluding the Missouri river and its
tributaries.
The flood control bill provides
that the corps Of engineers, u. S.
Army, shall make the surveys and

gress, include "the effect on the
subject Of flood control of the low

tionalist) forces, who are threaten.
ing Tientsin and Peking, was be-
lieved to be imminent today.
A dispatch from Peking to Rengo
a Japanese news agency, said 2,7OO
members Of the families Of northern
officers and officials had been sent
to Mukden, Manchuria. Most OF
them were women and children. This
was taken to indicate that the north.
erners believed the battle might de.
eide the fate Of Peking.
The Japanese cabinet at a special
meeting today decided to send more
troops to China. The third division
from Nagoya, which at present is
moving towards Shantung, May be
partly diverted toward the Manchur-
ian border. More troops, therefore,
were believed to be necessary to
protect Shantung, where Japanese
and Chinese clashed recently.
It was generally indicated that the
Japanese would not permit fighting
in Manchuria. It was understood
that Marshal Chang Tso-Lin, north
ern dictator, had been 50 warned.
There were rumors that Japan un-
officially advised Chang to return
to Mukdeh before hostilities broke
out 1t Peking or Tientsin, for there
after any attempt on his part to seek
refuge in Manchuria might not be
permitted. There have been various
advices that Chang had left or was
about to leave Peking.

Of Mrs. Nancy Lee Nannetti for
several years. Last Saturday a
thin splinter Of bone became lodged
in the animals throat, causing her
great pain and impairing her breath

to Mrs. Nannetti, who sought the
help of veterinarians. None of them
would risk working on the lioness.

Mrs. Nannetti thrust her arm down
the Lioness' throat until she could
feel the bone splinter. Although

submitted patiently. Mrs. Nannetti
was unable to draw the splinter out
but finally dislodged it so that il
