Ruth Etting 10 Take
Stand Monday in
Snyder's Trial
Songstress' Ex-Husbond
Approves Selection
Of Jurors
BY the Associated Press

6y tne Associated PTeSS.
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 10.-Martin
(Moe) Snyder's wife for II years,
Songstress Ruth Etting, will take
the stand Monday as the State be-
gins its attempt to send the New
York and Chicago night life patron
to prison on charges of kidnapping
and attempted murder.
Snyder, glum and moody, nodded
his approval yesterday of a jury Of
six men and six women, who will
hear the story of a shooting last
October Is in the Hollywood home of
Myrl Alderman, Miss Etting's pianist,
to whom she once announced-then
denied-she had been married.
The jurors, all of whom had prom
ised attorneys not to be affected by
emotional displays on the stand, were
excused for the week end a few
minutes after the prosecution and
defense had accepted them.
Questions from Snyder's counsel
pointed to plea of lf-defense.
Miss Etting, Deputy District Attor-
ney U. U. Blalock said, will be one
of the first witnesses Monday after
initial arguments are offered.
The blues singer was divorced in
Chicago last year from the defend
ant, whose associates call him Col.
Gimp He was her manager during
her rise to stage prominence.
The county grand jury has accused
him of six crimes-three of at
tempted murder. two of kidnapping
and one of violating State fire.

victed.

tempted to kill Alderman, who was

ing and his daughter by a previous

Hope for Revision
OF Bar Admission
Rules Voiced
Night School Spokesman
Asks Plan Similar
To D. G. Courts

Hope that the United States Court
of Appeals here will modify its rules
for admission to the local bar in
future years, making them comply
more nearly to those adopted yester.
day by the District Court, was ex-
pressed today by a spokesman for
the evening laws schools.
"The rule promulgated by the
Court of Appeals" he said, dele
eating, as it did, to a nonresident
agency unfamiliar with local con-
ditions, the Middle States Associa-
tion Of Schools and Colleges, the
power to determine what colleges in
the District of Columbia or any
where else in the United States
would or would not be approved
colleges under that rule, Is not fol-
lowed In the District Courts rule.
The matter of approval OF schools
and colleges for obtaining pre-legal
work is left solely up to the District
Court or its committee, as 1t should
be.
mo discrimination against eve
ming law schools is made in the Dis
trlct Courts rule. Three academic
years of law study is sufficient
whether had at full-time law
school or at an evening school. Un-
der the Court of Appeals rule, four
years is necessary if the work Is
had at an evening law school,
Under the rules of the Middle
States Association, college work
taken at an evening school must be
50 per cent longer than if had at a
full-tlme or all-day college. That
is, to earn two years of credits toward
the A. B. degree in an evening COL
lege, the association requires three
years of attendance, regardless of
the total number of school hours"
Pointing out that the District
Court rule follows in every essential
the Bar Association resolution on the
subject, this spokesman predicted
that a committee from the associa-
ton would confer with the Court
OF Appeals 'in an effort to iron out
objectionable features of its rule"
The rule adopted by District Court
justices becomes effective October /,
1914.

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Dec. 1O.-Building
trades employers today forecast
further improvement in construction
and predicted 1899 would be the
best building year since 1881.
Off1cials of lending agencies as
sociated with the industry also pre-
dicted that an increased proportion
OF money advanced by building and
loan associations in 1889 would be
for construction and modernization
of homes.
The Building and Construction
Employers Association in its De-
cember brochure said that after
eight years in the doldrums "there
is at the moment that all-encourag-
Ing picture of home and multiple
housing showing steady improve
ment, and the dwelling situation is
more acute and widespread than
ever"
Sharp Recovery Reported.
For eight years Nationwide build
ing activities have failed to reach
so per cent of "normalcy" and in
the private field construction was
only about one-third of the 1925-29
volume, the association said. Aside
from home and multiple construc-
ton, Public Works Administration
work is being authorized in increas-
ing volume and these projects have
to start on or before January !, the
association pointed out.
The last national survey of the
Employees Association reported a
sharp recovery in building activity
IN the third quarter which raised
first nine months construction VOL
ume to a level almost equal to that
of 1887.
More MOdernizatiOn.
The United States Building and
Loan League reported savings,
building and loan associations
throughout the country supplied
more money for home moderniza-
ton in October than in any other
month this year. while the funds
advanced for construction were the
second largest.
A total of s27 1926 900 went directly
into these activities.
A total of 1922, ,456 900 was paid
out to finance home remodeling and
building during the first 10 months,
compared with s254,546 900 in the
corresponding 1887 period. Last
year there was decline in loans
between September and October.

CAUTION URGED
 FOR TESTIMONY
Judge Inglis to Charge Jury on Levy, Macken=
 zie, Testimony

Testimony of Attorney Edward G Levy of New Haven and Harry A. Mackenzie of Bethel who have pleaded guilty to charges of con- spiracy to defraud the city of more than million dollars, will be re- garded at least cautiously" perhaps "suspiciously" by the jury which is finally selected to hear the trial of 9 defendants who have pleaded not guilty. Such orders will be included in the charge of Judge Inglis to the jury.
 Such will also be the case in the testimony of Timothy Horgan, who has pleaded nolo contendere, should he be a witness.
 Brought Out Today
 This indication was brought out this morning by Attorney George Crawford, counsel for Simon J. AL derman of New Haven, during the questioning of venireman, Joseph F. Kelly of West Haven, who in the finale was excused from the list by Judge Ernest IngliS because of his acquaintanceship with Lieutenant Governor Hayes, defendant.
 No mention was made of Horgan during the questioning which led to the understanding that Judge h. glis will in the final moments charge the jury to view cautiously the testimony of the defendants who become states witnesses.
 Crawford InSinuated
 Crawford at first insinuated that under the law. Judge Inglis should charge the jury to regard the testi- mony "suspiciously". Strenuous ob- jection was offered by Special Pros ecutor Alcorn, and after discus sion with Judge Inglis participating, Crawford voluntarily withdrew his question and re-phrased it.
 The first question was: If his honor instructed the jury to con- sider the testimony of Levy and Mackenzie suspiciously, would you accept the judges charger"

CANARY ISLANDS
 ARE FORTIFIED

Hendaye, Franco-Spanish From tier, Dec. 2.-CUP)-Spanish Loyal ist sources said today that Germany had fortified the Canary Islands with airdromeS and submarine bases.
 The reports emanated from ref ugees. returning from the islands.
 Lorenzo Sosa, a journalist, said Germans had accumulated large deposits and built a submarine base at Fl Rio, on the island of Ianza- rote; another submarine base on Heirro; an air base at Las Palmas, another air base at Los RodeoS on the island of Lanzarote, where an oil refinery and storage tanks for submarine fuel also had been built since the Spanish civil war started.
 The reports were confirmed by two refugees. One was Martin Medina, an exchanged prisoner, who said he had been held in concentration camp within sight of the storage tanks, and had watched foreign engineers directing their construc- ton.
