Bu United Press NEW YORK, May 6.—Weekly Federal reserve statements showed decrease in reserve ratios both at this center and tor the system as a whole. However, these were due to transactions in connection with the May 1 settlements which were responsible for the recent advance in call money to 5 per cent.

C. &O. furnished leadership in carrier group, advancing to around best levels of tho year at 172%, a gain of 1% from the previous close.

BULLISH TONE OF WHEAT CONTINUES ON CHICAGO MART Local Corn Buyers at Lake Michigan City First Time in Weeks. Bu United Press CHICAGO, jfay 6.—With Liverpool again much higher tiiuu expected, sentiment early continued bullish on wheat, with opening prices unchanged to %c higher than yesterday’ll close. Early news was generally favorable to holders, with rain and snow over parts of the Canadian northwest and unsettled weather conditions over the domestic grain belt. Seaboard advices indicated continued good buying by foreigners, with Turopean countries continuing their policy of buying only for their immediate needs, and thus far showing no evidence of accumulating a surplus. Deliveries were small at 24,000 bushels. Corn opened %c to %c lower than Thursday’s high close. Sentiment in corn has made a drastic and general change. Where it was bearish a few days ago. it is now generally bullish. Contributing to this change were advices from St. Louis and Kansas City telling of much increased southern demand for cash corn and the presence here yesterday of Indianapolis buyers for the first time in many weeks. No important change was shown In weather conditions and the forecast, was for showers or rain over most of the belt. Deliveries were 373,000 bushels. Oats continued to reflect the action of other grains. Quotations opened unchanged to %c higher than the previous close. A better cash demand would be a great help to this market.

MISSIONARY SENDS KIN LIBERIA BEAUTY CHARM

'

Here's your chance to get beautiful! Just borrow the South African lieauty charm that is the property of Miss Doris Kay of 2226 E. Twelfth St., and you’ll shortly have folks remarking, “Are you eating carrots for your complexion?—you're looking so spiffy!” This charm, which is made from the skin of a sacred snake contains —well nobody but the African charm woman, who gave the magic object to a missionary relative of Miss Kay’s coulcl tell just wliat it contains. “Miss Ruth Eobenson, formerly of Camden, Ind., who has been a missionary stationed at Liberia, South

GRAY DENIES PAY OFF OF ‘SNOOKS’ (Continued From Page 1) close to the court that the case would go to the jury Monday. “I think you said your earnings for The past three years averaged *5,500,’’ said Wallace. “Yes, sir, Mr. Wallace,’’ said Gray. “Never mind the 'Mr. Wallace’ said the attorney testily, ‘Just say yes or no.’ ” “Yes, sir,” agi-eed Gray. How He Split N^one.v “How much did you give to your wife for the support of your family?” “About *3,500,” said Gray. “Now, that left you *2.000,’” said Wallace. “Were you able to feed yourself, clothe yourself, go to night ! clubs, buy liquor and not run into ' debt?” “I was, sir.” “You had six or seven drinks every day?" “Sometimes more, sir.” “Did you pay for them?” “Always, as a rule.” Wallace then spoke of the loan sought by Gray to buy five shares of stock in his corset firm. He denied he had asked Mrs. Snyder for a loan. He got SI,OOO from a trust company in Newark to pay for, the stock, he said. Gray said that when he had told i Haddon Gray, his Syracuse friend, of “buying an interest in the firm,” ! he had reference to the five shares of stock. He said he had spoken to Mrs. Snyder about the possibility of in-, vestment in his company. Wallace shifted ills course. Mentions Domination “Now in May, 1926, you became dominated by Mrs. Snyder. That’s right, is it?” “It isy-sir.” “Yes in February, 1927, a month before the murder, you testified you asked Mrs. Snyder to spend two days with you at the Waldorf-Astoria?” “I asked her if slic’d like to come, yes sir.” Then, Mrs. Snyder's counsel advanced toward the witness, shaking his right forefinger. “What did you hope to get out of j this murder?” he shouted. “That’s what I want to know, sir,” | Gray said. No Reason to Kill “l'ou mean you don't know why you hit Albert Snyder over the head and did the other things you did?” “That is just what I mean, sir.” Gray reiterated his contention that he was dazed on the night of the murder and moved about automat-* ically after he left the Snyder home. “But everything you did was to save yourself; you did nothing to save Mrs. Snyder?” “No, sir,” said Gray.

Ruth Smiles Mrs. Snyder, her eyes closed, was sitting ..quietly by the matron. She smiled faintly at one time when Wallace put an involved argumentative* question. “Is this a question or a summation?” William Millard of counsel for Gray wanted to know, “It is close to a summation,” said Justice Scudder, and Walla* withdrew It. Disguise? Not Sure When Gray left the Snyder home after the crime, he removed his glasses, he said. “Was that for a disguise?” asked Wallace. “It might have been, Gray conceded. Wallace aroused renewed Interest

Miss Doris Ray

Africa, is my cousin,” said Miss Ray. “She sent me this charm explaining that one day in Liberia, a perfectly hideous native woman with her head sticking through a big straw head piece, approached and mysteriously imparted the information that she had pi-ocured a rare beauty charm for my cousin. “Miss Robenson, who already is strikingly good looking, doubtless thought some of her relatives back in America needed it worse! and sent it to me. I’ve not seen any particularly good effects from wearing the charm, but maybe it takes longer in this climate. Anyway, I’m not discouraged and will wear it a while longer,” Miss Ray laughed.

' from the courtroom crowd when he ' asked Gray: "Did you know any girls named Alice?” •“Many of them.” said Gray. ! “Did you know any Buffalo girl named Alice?” “Three of them.” | “Describe their occupations.” “Two wore in stores and one connected with a newspaper.” Ijist Names Secret i “Now, without mentioning the last ! name of the girl in the newspaper game, when was the last time you saw her?” Gray thought it was in the fall of 1926. He had written to her early this year, he said. “Did you write to Alice at her office?” “Yes.” “Why not at her home?” “f don't know; I had been there.” “Did her family know you as a married or single man?” “Married.” “Are you sure of it?” “Quite positive.” “Did you have a pet name for Alice such as tho ‘Momsie’ you had for Mi's. Snyder?” “No, Unless you mean nearly everybody called her ’Snooks'.” “That’s just what I mean. How long have you known ‘Snooks'?” “Since the year after I was married.'' “When were you married?” “November 16, 1915.” Denies Ruth Loaned S2OO Gi'ay denied he borrowed S2OO from Mrs. Snyder on the i>lea he owed “Snooks” some money and wanted to pay it to get rid of her. “Did you ever tell the newspapers directly or indirectly about an ‘Alice Sedden,’ or something like that?” “I might haVe.” “Now, you said Mrs. Snyder told you she didn’t believe in God. At another time you said she told you she was going to put her daughter in a convent. Didn’t that strike you as odd?” a “No, sir; the oi/y time she ever said anything about the convent was in August or September, 1925,” Gray said patiently. “It was a year later when she said she didn’t believe in God.” Gray said his domination by Sirs. Snyder was "practically complete.” *More Air / Cries Paralyzed Youth Bu United Press ROANOKE, Va., Mas 6.—“ More air” was the plea today of Walter L. Booth, 18-year-old farm boy who has lain fifteen days in a hospital here with collapsed lungs. “More air”—and friends who have pumped his arms continuously, forcing breath into hia body, increased the tempo of their monotonous motion. Doctors who have twice vainly tried operations to restore Walter’s breathing powers shook their heads at this new development. They hesitated to say it presaged an early end for the youth who lies paralyzed from neck to waist, but they did state the lad had been growing weaker for the last three days.
