Mrs. Ruth Snyder if acquitted will receive the $96,000 insurance. which #he took out for her husband, Albert S8nyder, some time before he was mur- dered. 5 If the jury finds her responsible for her husband’s death and renders a «verdict of murder in the first or sec- ond :gree or homicide the insuraace money will go to her daughter, Lor- raine. Counsel for Mrs. Snyder and for the State almost came to blows at the trial today. Under examination of Assistant Dis- trict Attorney Froessel, Mrs. S spid she was downstairs on the nigh Ner husband was kille?, when pre. Viously she had testified she was bound upstairs. Froessel asked if she had moade a mistake or lied, and her lawyer, Ed gar F. Hazelton, walked shouting to- ward the prosecutor, who moved bel- ligerently to meet him. A clash was narrowly averted by the stern remon- strance of the court. Inclement weather and the fact that . Mrs. Snyder was no longer a novelty on the witness stand seemed to com- bine today to hold down the early erowd at the Snyder murder trial, but the spectators, as on other days, were mostly women. Assistant District Attorney Froessel resumed his questioning after court opened, asking Mrs. 8nyder about the warious times she said Gray had men- tioned his intention of killing her hus- band, Albert Snyder. lton, in the redirect examina- #op, asked a few brief questions about the insurance, followed by questions phrased to stress the assertion that Mrs. Snyder was in a state of exhaus- tion when she signed her confession. Waives His Right. Dr. Howard 'W. Neall, an assistant medjcal examiner, who was the second witness of the trial, was called to suc- ceed Mrs. Snyder. Lorraine Snyder then testified, after which the defensé case of Mrs, Snyder was closed, and Gray was called. Gray, seeming composed, waived his oonstitutional right to refuse to tes- tify against himself. Samuel Miller, Gray’s oounsel, conducted the direct examination and brought out that his client was a constant church com- municant, : A el NEW NANKING NOTE IS NOT NECESSARY, b PRESIDENT HOLDS (Continued ‘from Tirst Page) agreement with the policy announced from Washington. “The Japanese point out that America’s decision draws America and Japan closer, because Japan through- out has been opposed to aggression or the imposi; of penaities for the Nanking and Hankow incident. “The government unequivocally repudiates reports from China of an lpgrou:hin: Anglo-Japanese offensive nce in China directed against Russla.” POWERS' MINISTERS CONFER. No Agroement Reached on Second Note to Cantonese. SHANGHAT, May 3 (®).—A semi- efficial Japanese message from Peking today said that the Ministers of the United States, Great Britain, France, Japan and Italy held a conference yes- terday regarding a second note to the Hankow government on the subject of the Nanking outrages. No agree- ment was reached, says the message, owing to the fact that the United States is opposed to the dispatch of another note at the present time. The original protest of the flve pow- ers against the attacks on foreigners in Nanking March 24, which drew the fire of the American and British war- ships off shore in the Yangtze River, delivered April 11 to Gen. Chang Kai-Shek, then Cantonese military +Jeader at Shanghal, and Eugene Chen, Cantonese foreign minister at Hankow. It called for punishment of National- ist officers held directly responsible for attacks by their troops; written apology and guarantees by the Nation- alist commander-in-chief, and full reparation for personal injuries and! material losses sustained by foreigners at Nanking. — Commissioned in Reserve.

P. M'CRACKEN (Continued from First Page.) declared, the fifth International Con- ference of American States, held at santiago, Chile in 1 authorized the governing board of the Pan-Amer- ican Union to call a meeting of the Interamerian Commercial Aviation Commission, which is now holding joint session with the commercial con- ference. Agreement Is Planned. “After the conference adjourns’ sald Mr. MacCracken, “the commis- sion will set itself to the task of form ulating a convention which should be as simple as possible, and as broad as may be consistent with the sovereignty of the respective nations. “With such an agreement in effect, he predicted, “air commerce between the nations of this great hemisphere should expand with rapidity and bring with it not only prosperity but a better understanding among our peo- les. 5 “I believe that with the co-operation between the business and industrial leaders of our resuective countries,” said Mr. MacCracken, “we may look forward in the near future to the es- tablishment of a system of airways along a large portion of the 20,000- mile route flown by the Pan-American Army flyers, who with their message of good will carried also a prophecy of commercial air transport to com An experimental line has been estab- lished from Buenos Afres to Pernam- buco, and commercial air operations are being carried on in Honduras, Colombia, Chile, Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia, Mexico and Venezuela, he pointed out. “These lines,” he added, “constitute the nucleus of a great system of inter- American highways.” Student Tour Opportunity. Opportunities for knowing South America better offered by student tours were stressed by Mr. Munson. Every effort is being made, he de- clared, to increase these tours this Summer and in the years to come. Explaining the educational value, he eaid, the tours would include courses for college students in the great universities of South America under the instruction of native teach- ers. These would prove of practical value from personal contact with the nationals of the various countries visited, he declared, and would give the studentsan opportunity tolearnat first-hand the traditions and customs of the Latin American republics. “It is by visiting these nations that we shall learn to know each other better,” he said. “It is by making friends by the intermingling of our interests that we shall gain the neces- sary inspiration to carry it onward toa higher and better form of civilization and shall serve to bring to the peoples of the earth. hapiness, prosperity, good fellowship and greatest of all, the benefit of true friendship.” Labor Resolution Introduced. Before the morning session closed Mathew Woll, member of the execu- tice committee of the American Fed- eration of Labor, introduced, on be- half of the American delegation, the following resolution: “Whereas trade, commerce and finance are designed to enhance labor service, promote production, encour- age manufacture and increase con- sumption, and combined are all in- tended to serve human needs, lessen the burden of life and labor and to provide increasingly for human happi- ness and wellbeing, “Resolved, that this conference rec- ommends including in the agenda for consideration at future conferences the subject of improving the material standards of life and labor of the masses of the people of the respective countries.” Most Important Meeting. Tonight's joint session in the Wash- ington Auditorium with the Chamber of Commerce of the United States will be, perhaps, the most important 1D the first-of. the-month bills during the meetings of both these bodies. President Coolidge will deliver the been printed in Spanish for the henefit of foreign delegates. The President will begin speaking at 9 o'clock and his address and the entire program will be broadcast over one of the longest *‘hook-ups” yet established. At this meeting, the thrill that comes from hearing one's national anthem in a strange land will be the various republics. The United Stats Army Band. Capt. C. D. Alway, commanding, will play the national anthems of each of the 21 Pan-Amer- ican republics. The 21 flags will be raised simultaneously by members of the Headquarters Company of the District of Columbia, under the com- mand of Capt. Jared I. Wood. O'eary to Preside. This ceremony will be followed by a Girl Scout pageant arranged by Mrs. Marie Moore Forrest of the Com- munity Center. John W. O'Leary, president of the Chamber of Com- merce of the United States, will pre- side and introduce President Coolidge. A well balanced program of Latin American airs will be rendered by the band, including a number of solo numbers by Technical Sergt. John Bauman. The session vesterday afternoon, before the delegates went to Bolling Field to greet the pan-American flyers, was devoted to a round-table discus- sion of “Consular Procedure and Cus- toms Regulations.” Removal of customs barriers that jmpede trade relations was the under- lying thought behind this discussion, in which the delegates from Mexico and Brazil took the initiative by in- troducing a resolution calling for the appointment of a committe to study and recommend a solution of this question. Situation in Mexico. ; Franciséo Sudstegui, commercial at- tache of the Mexican embassy, warned the conference that in studying sim- plification of customs procedure, it ghould bear in mind the peculiar con- ditions existing in the various coun- tries. He described the situation in Mexico, with its long coast and prob- Jem of smuggling. Mexicos customs regulations, he said, are largely aimed at preventing smuggling, as does the effort of United States agents along the border. He explained his only ob- ject in mentioning this intricate prob- jem was to have the conference adopt recommendations that would, in effect, be “like a rubber cap that fits every head.” C. C. Martin of the American Manu- facturers’ Association of New York, pleading at this session for simplifica- tion of consular procedure, suggested to the conference that a pan-American committee be appointed, charged with the duty of formulating such a pro- gram.

A deep sense of this situation, pro- duced by the exactions of more than 6 separate economic and political continental entities, Mr. Martin de- clared, resulted in the recent mani- festo by a group of international bank- ers now bejng carried forward by the In- ternational Chamber of Commerce, he said, and will be further ventilated at the World Economic Conference at Geneva. This same initiative could well be applied to the Western hemisphere, Mvr. Martin contended, where 21 repub. | lics, with different laws and govern- ments and an ever-increasing volume of commerce. make future needs of co-operation imperative, Tmports into the United States from Latin America during 1926 were larger than any preceding year except 1918 and totaled $1,094,000,000, an increase of 3% per cent ov the preceding vear. Imports exceed exports to Lat. in America by some $200,000,000, this country taking 39 per cent of the total of Latin American exports. Some 80 per cent of these importa- tions into the United States are free of duty. Sympathy for Disaster. “In view of this intimate relation- ship, and particularly in view of the potential development,” he added, “it is extremely important that close con- sideration be given to facilitating In- and and ARTHUR J.

H.

State Governments Defended. State governments found a cham- pion in Mark Graves, who also spoke it the luncheon. Mr. Graves, mem- ber of the Ne. York State Tax Com- mission, declared that the commonly 1ccepted belief that State governments are spendthrifts, while the Iederal Government is saving money all the time, was all wrong. - Such comparisons were “made by selecting the peak of r time as a basis, and are not fair,” he erted.

Mr. Owen said the financing of the drainage project is near completion. Drainage is already under way, he said. “The bullding of the Tamiami Trail through the Everglades is doing much to improve the country,” he asserted.

Morgan & Co. last night traced a brightening picture of world condi- tions in an address at a dinner of the American section of the Internatiopal | Chamber of Commerce at the -May- flower Hotel. The dinner was haid in conjunction with the convention of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. Reported competition on “almost a violent scale” tends to insecurity and unsound practice, Mr. Lamont said. His warning came on the heels of one by Secretary Hoover before the Pan- American Commercial Conference ear- lier in the day against unproductive loans, Mr. Lamont took a hopeful view of the Mexican problem, and commended the diplomatic policy of President Coolidge. He declared the American |intervention in Haiti and Santo Do- mingo had had advantageous effects, and pointed out the disastrous results of the revolution in Nicaragua. Kurope, he said, as a result of the Dawes Plan, “now seems to be pretty well put of the woods.” Ie held out to American business the prospect of competition from Europe greater than ever before. Traces Foreign Issue. Mr. Lament traced in detail financial situation of American inves- | tors in Latin American countries-and in Europe. Of Europe's efforts to recover from the war he said: “One can reasonably say, then. that America has taken a generous part in these great efforts for European re- construction. In eagh one of these loans offerings in the American mar- kets an appeal has been made to the investment community on the ground of helpful co-operation in world affairs, Naturally, however, the bankers would never have ventured to make such an alppenl it they had not first convinged he: HE economy of Cash and Carry prices is well illustrated by our values in funeral designs., Wreaths —~SPRAYS and other effective ~ Floral Tri DELIVERED. $2.50 up Shipments Anywhere by Parcel Post and Telegraph Funeral Flowers Delivered Free—Nominal Charge on Other Orders 804 17th St. Phone Franklin 10391 —[a[c——[a]——=[a]c———|0] 1222 F St. * Phone Franklin 5357 GROSNER'S Here’s a 538 Kuppenheimer $45, $50 & $55 ‘1928 °F 8T Special!

Certain of the statesmen on the other side, men of sobriety and judgment, experienced and schooled in the world of politics, declare that Locarno means the permanent ap- peasement of Europe, a new era; that while there may be occasional em- brollments, even sporadic armed con flicts, there will never again be any great cataclysm on the continent of Europe: that within the lifetime of our youth war will have become as outworn as witcheraft, slavery and duelling. It is true that Europe is happlly become more unified. The movement to break down the high tariff barriers, built up by the growth of nationalism in almost every Euro- pean country after the war, is already well under way. It is not inconceiv- able that Europe may some day be come a great region of free trade as the United States Is within its own borders. Such a development may take a long time in coming: on the other hand, it may move much more swiftly than we imagine.

Suggestion that American industries combine their efforts with European and other manufacturing countries to increase world consumption legiti mately was made by Roy D. Chapin president of the Natfonal Automobile Chamber of Commerce, who followed Mr. Lamont. ‘Mind you,” he warned, “this is entirely different from any combina tion to divide up the trade of the world. Its purpose would be to en large world demand and keep all | production facilities busy.” Willis H. Booth, former president of the International Chamber of Com merce, cited further evidence of in- ternational co-operation in efforts to solve general economic nroblems and stimulate the flow of trade. He ex- plained the method by which the question of trade barriers in Europe has bene approached in preparation for the forthcoming megting of the International Chamber in Stockholm.
