At last the hammerings on the hulls interior became random and indistinct. Then there were none.
 In the log two episodes stand out. as showing how fate conspired against efforts at succor.

RUTH SNYDER SCHEDULED TO APPEAR
 IN COURT AFTER DAY SET FOR DEATH

New York, Jan. $ (UP)-Counsei for Mrs. Ruth Snyder today paved the way for last minute petition in supreme court for a stay of execu- ton designed to stay the scheduled electrocution of the murderess next Thursday night.

fAkES,' EXPERTS CALL
 HEARST CODE WRlTS
Navy Investigators Report Evidence of Fraud in
 Mexican Documents

Washington. Jan. 6 RICode messages in the Mexican documents published in Hearst newspapers were described as fakes" today by United States navy experts who testified before . special senate Investigating committee.
 Commander A. D. Struble, in charge of the code and signal section of the navy. pronounced the code messages and their apparent transla- tions as mere nonsense"
 A ten-day investigation was made into the seven published messa ges and translations, Commander Struble explained, and every means known to the navy failed to "break" the so-called code.
 He cited numerous reasons why. in the navys opinion. the codes were "faked."
 Arthur Bliss Lane, chief of the Mexican affairs division of the state department and former first secre- tary of the American embassy in Mexico, told the committee that Miguel Avila. producer of the Hearst documents. offered to get some Mexi- can documents for the American embassy. These were refused, Lane said.
 He branded as "lic" the story that he had offered to sell informa- tion about American affairs.
 Frank V. Mclaughlin, of the Fl Sol Petroleum Company in Mexico. had said Avila came to him with an offer to sell information passing be- tween Ambassador Sheffield ard Secretary Kellogg and that Avila had said Mir. Lane was available.
 That is just plain lie." Mir. Lane said as the committeeman laughed.
 For 200 pesos, Mir. Lane said that Avila offered to get an original f a letter purporting 10 have been sent to the governors of Mexican states. The proposal was declined by Lane, who added that the American em- bassy once obtained the release of Avila from jail.
 The department official said that John Page. Hearst reporter. fre- quently came with Avila to the em- bassy in connection with documents.
 Who made these documents" Chairman Reed asked.

 Hazelton now is prepared to go into court and enter the plea that the ends of justice would be defeat cd if Mrs. Snyder were killed by the state before she has had chance to give evidence that ultimately would benefit her young daughter. Lorraine. who has been named bene- ficiary of the policies
 Attorneys searching through musty records, however. have been able to find only one precedent for a supreme court stay of execution.
 The insurance company contends that Mrs. Snyder took out the poli- cies without her husbands knowI- edge and with the intention of profit ing by his death. Mrs. Snyder has denied these charges.
 Since questions of fact and not of law are thus involved Hazelton pre- sented the application for . jury trial.

Poor Water Pressure Ne. cessitates Use of High Pressure Reservoir - Lieut.. Souney and Hose man Pac Near Death When Roof Suddenly Falls.

Damage estimated by Fire Chief Noble at $60,O00 was caused by fire which swept through the Israel Putnam school on Osgood avenue last night. Thrills for spectators fol. lowed each other rapidly during the two hours the firemen were putting the flames under control. Several members of the department had narrow escapes when the roof fell.
 Tho first alarm was sounded at approximately 8 o'clock and vas followed by two others within 10 minutes. It was not until after 10 o'clock that the Are was under con- trol and not until midnight that Chief Noble ordered all companies but one to return to their stations. The ruins were still smoldering this morning.
 sccording to fire and school de- partment officials the fire started tn the attic, although previous theories pointed to an explosion in the fur. nace room.
 The outbreak occurred first In the center of tho builItng. suppsse1. ly in a store room inl tte attic. Tho accumulated gases in the attic poured through the vent in the rocf until. mixed with air to the combus- tion point, ignited far above the building, Illuminating the vicinity for a distance.
 Three Alarms Sounded
 Seven of the nine fire companies, including engine companies I. 2. ,. f and and two ladder trucks were called to the scene by the thrse alarms. while Engine Company No. 5 from East and Rhodes street moved from It's dwn station int0 headquarters on Commercial street to cover the business section Of the city in case of emergency.
 Although the flames had gained considerable force when the dremcn arrived. the blaze presented addi- tional difficulties because of the To- cation of the building at one of the nlgneSL pOlIlI0 III thc CtS]s INV bumpers were taxed to their maxi- mum capacity. Even this was not sufficient until Superintendent James Towers of the water department turned on the city high pressure supply.
 So extensively did the ire travel that 1t was impossible to ret inside the structure and flremen were com pelled to turn streams of water through the windows and over the walls onto the roof from the school yard.
 After the collapse of the roof. firemen from tops of ladders poured streams of water into the flames in an attempt to flood the blasing woodwork. The collapse of the roof, permitting a greater vent to the s,nouldering fires. increased the draueht and the flames rapidly cov- cred the entire structure until groups of firemen were fighting at several different points. on what seemed at times to be separate fires.
