THE TIMES age Eleven Neiv Year Tree of Knowledge Hung With 18,000 Pledges MILL OWNER Smith's decision will be unfavorable, one of Mrs. Snyder's lawyers, Joseph Lonardo, announced he would appear before a federal judge In New York City for i writ of habeas corpus for Mrs. Snyder, signed by her and making her plea for judicial Intervention in the first person.

v. FAMOUS U. BLOOMER ORDER CREATORS STIR "I have seen twenty-one persons electrocuted since I have been Sing Sing's physician and 1 never knew of a single Instance when one of them had to be carried to the chair." Dr. Sweet declared. Dr.

Amos O. Squire, former Sing Sing physician who has witnessed one hundied and thirty-eight electrocutions here, told International News Service that only one of them had to be carried to the chair. Both vhysicians said that in their opinion, electrocution is the most painless form of execution yet devised. A desperate serenity has come over both Mrs. Snyder and Gray, according to other attaches of Sing Sing.

Mrs. Snyder had almost ceased to have emotional seizures and Gray is deadly calm. Mrs. Snyder talked at length with mother, Mrs. Josephine Brown, and even went so far as to discuss her funeral arrangements.

It was reported that she told her mother she wanted to die in nilk. Instead of the coarse cotton gingham clothing that the state lias 'issued to her. Mrs. Brown declined to give out the details of the plans for Airs. Snyder's funeral.

She indicated, however, that her iaughter has chosen the spot where she wishes to be buried. OneNf Mrs. Snyder's last hopes disappeared when State Assemblyman Christopher C. McGrath, of tht Bronx, that lie had withdrawn his anti-capital pur.Ishmen1 bill which he had introduced in th legislature yesterday. He gave nc reasons.

He denied that Governoi Alfred E. Smith had sent word that he desired the bill delayed until af. ter Thursday. Governor Smith said he would announce his decision in the pleas for clemency for the condemned couple "when he is good and ready." He seemed much more concerned about the illness of his wife who wru? operated upon for appendicitis in New York City. Apparently anticipating that Gov.

ident Bryan declared. "It Is at) just a sensational yarn developed by people who like to manufacture yellow stories." "The whole thing grew out of the fact that Dean Wells called in and talked to a small number of glrU and later held a conference with the house chaperones," President Bryan said. "All these wild yarns that have been going around the state are nonsense and are an injustice to the nice girls who attend this university." "There will be no faculty meeting about all this, no faculty action, no meeting of the board of trustees, nothing at all," the president concluded. It became known, at the same time, that the order that all coeds must wear bloomers was being enforced by the university authorities. "I know of several girls who have been sent home from their classes because they didn't wear the bloomers as ordered by Dean Wells," one coed, who asked that her name be made public, revealed as she 1 -scribed the exhibit that was "iu almost in front of her window some practical Joker during 1 night.

"You know we all must the bloomers whether we want or not. I believe that there a' bloomer inspectors at work on ti campus." "It was from a standpoint health that this order was issued," Dean Wells defended her action. However, campus gossip had that the order had its origin when a fair coed reading at one of th-j tables of the university library happened to cross her knees thereby displaying some dimpled knees encased in finest silk. A male student, as the gossip hat it, stared at the knees and then noticed the coed also had a fair face. He wrote her a note, it was said, asking for a date and mentioning the "stunning knees." The coed grew Insulted and took the note to Dean Wells.

The bloomer order followed. Continued from rune On the story he or she will be expelled. The board of trustees, If it meets. It was reported, will pass resolutions deprecating th" "unfavorable publicity" given Indiana univeisity. President William I.

George, Brooklyn. Physicians say there is no hopo of his recovery. Sack, with his wife, his nephew Albert, 19, and a colored maid, arrived at the hotel yesterday afternoon and last night the party attended the opera at the Metropolitan Opera house. When they returned shortly after midnight Sack retired to his room nd about an hour later his wife, hearinsr him moaning', entered his room and found him dying. Mrs.

Sack, who is related to the Hussion Imperial Romanoff family, would noit discuss tho case further Ihan to say that her husband had oeen ill land despondent for months. At th Long Island college hospital Sack admitted to detectives hat he attempted to take his life. When (found his throat had been frojn car to ear. He still held bloody razor blade in his hand.

This first New Year's tree represents one of the most remarkable tributes ever accorded an educator in this or any other country. William R. Dawes, president of the Chicago Association of Commerce, upon viewing the tree and extending congratulations tc President Chapllne said: "This one of the most Impressive expression? of work well done and to be dom that I have ever seen and it is site gether remarkable when we consld' that they all are made to one man the administrative head of one i stitutlon." 18.000 of them, have been received by Jesse Grant Chapllne. president of the LaSalle Extension University, and to commemorate such an unusual occasion he conceived the Idea of adorning a great evergreen with these vows of Intensive self improvement during the coming year and -lllng the tree a New Year's Tree of lwledge. "New Year's trees different, for pledges of greater work, greater accomplishment in 1928 than in 1927.

Th9 second question was: "What the status of Sandino? Is he andit or revolutionist? What are sis aims in opposing the existing s'icaraguan government and the U. forces?" VlI0 A BAMMT "I have never met Sandino." Stimson sairt. "In my book I quote a statement as to his character made ij- his former commander.

General ttoncaipa, leader of the former revo-utioni'sta under whom Sandino ervea. From statements thus made tnd from other statements made by vlonajcada to me, it is my view that landsno'a record has been one of in-liscrfmlnate pillage upon both and conservatives.

Sweet said it was "hard say" how Mrs. Snyder would when she is notified that her IU has come to die. Gray, he dieted, "probably will go like all condemned persons bravely Continued from Pag One ere Is That Pep Murine- the preceding twenty-two ports that the condemned couple are on the verge of collapse. "I have visited both of them," he asserted, "and found them in as good condition as could be expected. Except for nervous upsets.

Mrs. Snyder is perfectly normal. She eats well and sleeps sufficiently, although rather fitfully. She is by far the most agitated of the two. "Gray Is strong physically and mentally.

He seems resigned to his chants at Jinotega, as he had done before under threats of pillage and bloody reprisal, he, Sandino. Interned in the mountains, took foreigners in the army and dedicated his time to murdering his enemies, conservatives and liberals alike. He proved extremely cruel to prisoners, to whom life was never pardoned. I will not approve such a kind of war. I will never accept it." Moncada made that comment after a battle at Oootal, not unlike the recent battles with Sandino's men at Quilali in which six marines were killed and twenty-eight wounded.

NOT Question Three: "Is a friendly Nicaraguan government essential to the protection of the Panama Canal; are any other paramount American Interests involved?" "I should answer 'no," Stimson said, "if you mean a 'friendly Nic ears, I am informed."

All that our Interests in the Panama Canal require Is that the Nicaraguan government shall be adequate to protect the rights of foreigners in Nicaragua and thus avoid the danger of foreign Intervention." Question Four: "Will American occupation of Nicaragua be necessary for an indefinite time? If not, for how long? Stimson said: "Our present occupation of Nicaragua, so far as the settlement which I negotiated Is concerned, is predicted on the request of the Nicaraguan government for our supervision of the election which comes in the autumn of 1928.
