Secret Sought IL. Shooting
Of Ruth Etti1sg's 8 Husband
Singers Husband
Wounded by Her
Former Mate

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. II GN.S. .
Facing a vehement, united front
Of denials, Martin Moe" Snyder,
formerly married to Ruth Etting,
today chung to his story that he
shot and wounded the present
husband of the radio and musical
comedy singing star in self-de-
tense.
The victim, Myrl Alderman, 80.
Vear-old composer, was reported
at st. Vincent's Hospital in a SER
ious condition from an abdominal
wound.
INSISTS SELF DEFENSE
''He shot at me. He shot at me
first so I shot at him." Snyder
stubbornly insisted in giving his
brief version of the wild melee
late Saturday night after he al
legedly kidnapped Alderman at the
point of a gun and forced him to
drive to the Etting home.
Vigorous denials were made by
Miss Etting, the young composer
she secretly married in Tia Juana,
Mexico, last July, and Snyder's
cwn daughter, Edith Snyder, COM
panion and secretary to the sill
very.voiced singer, who has been in
retirement for two years.
"Is he gone or isn't hep" Snyder
demanded Of detectives who ques.
toned him.
HUNT HIDDEN MOTIVE
Detectives were seeking to es-
tablish hidden motive" for the
sensational shooting Array, which
left four bullet holes in the walls
snd the piano of the singing stars
home in an exclusive residential
section. But Snyder baffled queS-
tioners with his parties.
Last November Miss Etting
divorced Snyder, ~, her former
business manager, in Chicago after
II years of marriage. Alderman
and Alma Anderson, a radio singer,
were divorced last December.
After the divorce, Miss Etting
asked the district attorneys Of

TO CONTINUE AS
bill COLLECTOR
New Proposal Placed
Before Liquor Dealers

The Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board today proposed to discon-
tinue the policy Of acting as 3
collection agency" for the pay
ment of wholesalers liquor bills.
Without previous announcement
of the content Of the proposed
regulation, the board called in
liquor dealers for a hearing today
and urged the adoption Of the
proposal.
GIVES 2 WEEKS
On the request of wholesalers
present at the hearing, the board
agreed to give the dealers q two
weeks period in which to study the
plan.
Under the new proposal the ABC
board would not be constrained
to refuse renewal and transfer Of
liquor licenses for retailers for fail
ure to pay bills Of wholesalers.
George M. Off, board chairman,
explained there were two reasons
for the proposed regulatton-first,
that there is "a serious question
as to the boards legal right to en-
force the payment Of bills" and,
secondly, IAN abbreviated person.

1899 RENEWALS
The recommendation proposes
to grant 1889 renewals without
respect to the credit situation Of
any retailer" and also to grant
transfers on the same basis.
The board would retain its
power to cite retailers who fail to
pay their bills within the credit
limitation period which now pre-.
walls. Retailers must pay their

following purchases, and if they
fail to do so must make future

1 ginning gardeners in buying ever greens. Little balled evergreens look attractive in their nursery row and seem to be just the plant for growing under a window. Unless some questions are asked about the habits of the plant you are just likely to buy a plant that in 10 years time will be a forest tree. It starts out as dwarf, but it might cover up the whole house and block the light and view from the windows.
 When choosing shade trees for the garden, learn their habits when they grow large. Trees like Norway naples and box elders have such a dense shade that no other plants can grow under them. Soft naples, poplars and willows have such enormous root systems that they may block drains and take up all available plant food.
 The elm and honey locust are high branched and do not have dense foliage. Also think about planting nut trees for shade trees and large growing shrubs such as the Towering cherries and flower ing crabs. These latter plants will give bloom as we'll as providing shade.

 When starting to plant in a new garden never buy tree or shrub unless you know its habits of growth color, and time of bloom.
 It is confusing to an amateur gardener to listen to a nurseryman' s Latin or Greek names of plants. But the price of a good free-fiowering plant is the same as for one with insignificant bloom and the only way to distinguish one from the other is by its specific name.
 Take forsythia, the yellow gold enbell. There are many varieties On some the flower buds winter kill so that the plant never blooms and others have dirty yellow col ored blooms. The best one to plant is called forsythia spectabilis.
 All varieties of privets do not make satisfactory hedges. The one called California sometimes freezes to the ground. The Eng fish one called vulgaris is subject to a disease. The best varieties are Ibota and Amurense. It is a satisfaction to have the best va- riety growing in high hedge because in the beginning you pur- chased the right variety.
