I 1 11.. the administration of Thanksgiving Day was made national observance. The speaker, pic turing America's marvelous pros 2 perity. wnicn gives rise to a spirit xjr. or gratitude, recalled President Coolidge's warning In his recent Pittsburgh speech that America muse beware lest her very prosperity should bring disaster through fail ure to recognize the fundamentals of prosperity.

Some srriklng con trasts were presented between old world and new world conditions, the speaker mentioning the fact tha. the Crown Prince of Nqrway has Jus purchased a small jick Car for his own use and that a lawyer friend of the speaker in Norway had written him tha: he had just purchased a pair of shoes for which he had been saving six months. Americans, he said, do not really appreciate the luxuries they enjoy. In closing. he declared that America must come to Albany, N.

Nov. 23. Judd Gray and his blonde paramour, Mrs. Ruth Brown Snyder, must die in the electric chair at Sing Sing, the week of Jan. 9, for the murder of her husband, Albert Snyder, magazine art editor.

This was decreed today by tho Court of Appeals, which yesCerday unanimously upheld tho conviction and denied the pair a new trial. The doomed lovers, now in the death cell at Sing Sing, heard their fate yesterday when (Tie court refused their appeal for a retrial. Unless Gov. Smith intervenes, it was believed nothing could stay the execution. The decision of (he Appeals Court left no legal recourse open in the state courts.

The only other re course, aside from tho governor would be an appeal to the United Supreme Court, and it was considered unlikely that attorneys for the pair would attempt it. Governor Smith, it was reporled, would fix within a few days a date on" which he will hear appeals for mercy on behalf of the lovers. The (hearing Is a formality which would not be denied under any circum stances, but the custom of the gov ernor in the past has been to refrain from granting clemency when the verdict of the Appeals Court was unanimous, as it was in the Snyder iGray case. Tho State Prison Deparbntnt today issued an order to Sing Sing prison authorities, forbidding other than relatives, rellgous Instructors or counsel to visit (Mrs. Snyder and Gray and others in the death house awaiting execution This order was in conioromaace wih tho State lain which stipulates ftka after affirmation of conviction by he court of appeals, the condem ned must be ktpt Close contine ment until the Cay of execution.

New York, Nov. 23. Edgar F. Hazleton, counsel for Mrs. Ruth Snyder, placed his only hope of saving her 13fe in Gov.

Smith today. We have no revelations to mane. ho said. "There is no 'truimp card to olav. there is no supreme element on which we can try to gain nl consideration of the case.

Only an assumption of total guilt by Henry Judd Gray and the got mercl can savejher. It will be a terrible decision for the governor to make."

H.

McKeehan. of Wyo ming, who waa convicted ol recetv tag stolen and to set aside the verdict "hi the case of D. F. Mulligan of Georgetown, who was convicted of the same offense. Attorney John H.

Dando argued for the defendants and held that verdict of guHt as to Mulligan i should be set aside, as the common It wealth had not charged olm with the offense for which he was convicted.
