SAYS HICK MAN
IS MONSTER"
AND NOT INSANE
By DAN CAMPBELL
limited Press Staff Corresoondent

LOS ANGELES, Jan. IA. -
DR.. Cecil Reynolds, internationally
known alienist declared here today
that William Edward Hickman,
slayer of Marion Parker is a "soul-
less monster,' but that the youth
was without question sane man.
William Edward Hickman is
one of the sanest men in the world
today DR.. Reynolds declared aft
er conducting tests with the young
killer in the county Jail today.
He is not crazy, but is soulless
monster who kills in his path of life
and then follows his murders with
much more logic than the average
man displays in legitimate car
eer' the alienist, whose work gain
cd him recognition from the British
government, declared.
"Hickman has never suffered a
pain, else he could not have inflict-
ed pain on others as he did, DR..
Reynolds said, in his report to Dep
ity District Attorney Forrest Muir
ray.
"As for any hereditary insanity,
| cannot see any traces of it. His
mother perhaps was in a great meas
ure responsible for Hickman s pres
cnt condition by rearing him in an
atmosphere of morbid sentimental
ity, in which environment many
criminals and persons of criminal
tendencies are found.
"But l am sure he is sane" DR..
Reynolds concluded.
DR.. Benjamin Blank. Jail physic
ian, declared that the mass of scien-
tific information, gathered from
lengthy questionings, established
without question that Hickman is
sane.
"Hickman has none of the signs
of any type of insanity" DIR. Blank
said. "Physical tests, so far, have
proved he is in good ondition.
There is only one blood test yet to
be reported and we will know the
result of that Monday.'
''As for the defense contention
that he is suffering from dementia
praecox, l can only point to the es-
tablished medical symptoms, out
standing among which is the fact
that this form of insanity is usually
found between the ages of % and
50, DR.. Blank said.
HARTFORD, Ark, Jan. 14.-Fur-
ther dispositions designed to sup
port the insanity defense of Ed
ward Hickman were taken here to-
day by Jerome Walsh, attorney for
the Los Angeles slayer.
Walsh spent the day interview
ing persons who knew the Hickman
family when they resided here eight
years ago.
Walsh S trip here followed a day
of examination of officials and rec
ord of the Arkansas insane asylum
at Little Rock where Mrs. Eva
Hickman, mother of Edward was
once confined.

PROGRAM
OPPOSED
House Naval Committee
Amends Bill BY Setting
Time Limit.
M'CLINTIC OBJECTS
OklahOman Says Action
Is "Slap in Face" For
President.
By United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-Thc
House Naval Affairs Committee
took issue today with President
Coolidge in mapping out legislation
for u naval building program.
1t voted to amend the bill sub
mitted by the administration so as
to provide five year limit for
the building program. 1t also ell
minated the provision allowing the
President to suspend the program,
in whole or in part, at any time he
desires.
Only one of the 16 members pre-
sent at the meeting today voted
against eliminating the provisions
allowing the President to suspend
the program. This was Representa-
tive McClintic, Democrat, Oklaho-
ma, who said the action CLOCKS
like a slap in the face for the Pre-
sident.'
In fixing definite time limit,
the committee adopted motion of
Representative Darrow, Republican,
Pennsylvania which places the
committee on record for five year
program to be completed in eight
years stating the maximum numDe>
of ships to be undertaken eAch
year and the maximum cost OF
same and following the principle
of the five year aviation program
adopted by congress last year
To Fix Limit
The committee viii fix the de-
finite number of ships to be built
in the five years, and the amounts
to be expended each year after 1t
completes hearing naval officials
regarding the Presidents $S00,000,-
600 program, Chairman Butler
said.
The motion to strike out the pro,
vision allowing the President to
suspend the program was present
ed by Representative Burdick, Re
publican, Rhode Island.
"The action of the committee
speaks for ITSELF Butler said. cit
is positive and percmptory.
off only an authorization were
made without time limit, we might
find ourselves in the position crea;-
ed by the authorization of eight
cruisers in 1924. Six of those
cruisers are yet to be built.
~ believe that when congress
now declares for shipbuilding pro-
gram it will carry it out"

Final Chapters
In Staying Case
BY United Press Leased Wire

NEW YORK, Jan. A. The last
chapters in the sordid drama of
Ruth Snyder and Henry Judd Gray
are being written.
These chapters deal with the COM
forts supplied for the innocent vie
tins of the couple mad affair.
The chief victims are Lorraine Sny
der, who was orphaned by the MUIR
der of her father and the execution
Of her mother, and Jane Gray, 10
year old daughter of the man wh1
was executed.
Yesterday an insurance company
paid the daughter of Gray $4,000
on policy her father held.
But the $4,000 insurance policy
that Albert Snyder held is in iti
cation and there is question wheth
cr Lorraine Snyder will receive this
money. The insurance company con,
tends the policy was obtained by
fraud, that Mrs. Ruth Snyder took
it out for her husband without his
knowledge.
The civil suit over the policy was
to have started today but the tired
attorneys who fought to save Mrs
Snyder from the electric chair plead
ed for continuance until Thurs
day. 1t was granted.
The two lovers were buried yes
terday. Mrs. Snyder was buried in
Woodlawn cemetery in Manhattan
and Gray was buried in Montclair
\. j.
NEW YORK, Jan. 14.-Three per,
sons closely connected with the exc
cution of Ruth Snyder and Judd
Gray today were suffering from
nervous strain induced by the dou
bic electrocution.
Mrs. Josephine Brown, mother of
Mrs. Snyder was in weakened con,
dition at the home of her son An.
drew.
Robert Elliott, the executioner
who never before had put woman
to death, was under medical treat,
ment at his home in Queens.
Warden Lewis +. Lawes of Sing
Sing prison left for Florida, having
been advised by physician to rest
from the strain. He is opposed to
capital punishment and the neces
sity of completing all arrangements
for the execution preyed upon his
mind.
Before his departure Warden
Lawes denounced the publication by
a newspaper here of photograph of
Mrs. Snyder in the death chair.
He said he had trusted the press
not to take a photograph and was
disappointed that one of the report
crs had been unfaithful to the trust.

RAIL STRIKE
Representatives of SIS
Western Roads and
10000 Men Fail To
Reach Agreement

CHICAGO. Sept. 1s.-fF-Repre-
~sentatives of So western railroads
and 10000 trainmen and conductors
now look to President Coolidge 10
expedite = settlement OF wage diff
ferenees between them.
The federal board of mediation.
which has been attempting 10 recon
Gle opposing demands Of the unions
and railwsy officials for the past
week. announced yesterday no ad-
Justment Of wages and the working
rule had been reached
No definite official action can be
taken for two moaths, officials ex-
planned, although the trainmen and
conductors have voted in favor Of a
strike. III President Coolidge should
intervene and appoint a fact finding
commission, under the railway labor
act, the special board would have 30
days 70 investigate and report. If
such a report we've made the unions
would be compelled to wait another
30 days before acting. If the presi-
dent should decide 70 refrain from
taking q hand, the unions might act
AZ once.
Unions Won's Arhitrate
Increased wage demands varying
from 10 TO IS per cent were made by
the unions, while the roads were
willing 10 allow increases OF z 1-2
per cent. On the working rula.
which the railrosIs have sought to
eliminate, the unions have refused ts
arbitrate. claiming its elimination
would mean a Is per cent reduction
in salaries.
j. W. Higgins, who represented
the western carriers, explained the
failure to arbitrate as follows.
The public should understand that
the failure TO settle the controversy
between the western railways and
their conductors and trainmen has
been entirely due TO the rejection By
the labor organizations of the two
different proposals Of arbitration.
Rejection Explained
"One Of these proposals was made
by the conference committee of
managers representing the railways.
The other was drawn Up by the Unit
ed States board Of mediation, and
was accepted as a fair basis of set
tlement by the presidents of the Or
der of Railway Conductors and the
Brotherhood Of Railway Trainmen,
but was repudiated by the general
committees Of these or organiza-
tions.1
The unwillingness Of the unions
general committees 70 accept the
boards proposition was described BY
Mr.. Higgins as "a refusal to accept
any fair proposition involving arbi-
sration."
+. r. Curtis, representing the con-
ductors, explained the arbitration
failure thrsly.
"We have refused to arbitrate the
elimination Of the double-header
rule in its entirety because it has
been in effect for 81 years and IS a
settled condition of employment as
much 50 as collective bargaining
and the eight-hour day"
Railroads have no need for two
locomotives on 4 single train, Mr..
Curtis declared, explaining they have
ample equipment to move more ton
mage than they now carry.

: toast yesterday morning appeared 10

North Carolina coast this morning.
with apparently little change in in
tensity. Moderately high pressure
prevailed az the same time over the
Great Lakes and the middle Missis-
sippi Valley, also ovr the north Pa
cific states; ard relatively low pres
sure over the northern Plains states
and most Of the Rocky mountain
region. Except for rains all along
the Atlantic coast and a few light
showers in the far Northwest, the
weather continued fair to clear
throughout the United States since
last report. Temperatures were
above the seasonal average over the
Northwest this morning, and rather
cool il the Ohio and middle Mis-
sissi~pi Valley, and thence south
ward.
