There are such things as Insurance policies. Double Indemnity policies. Policies that pay double if the person insured meets accidental death. Mrs. Snyder learned "all about them from an enterprising Insurance salesman, anxious to make a fat commission, according to the state's case.

This man has since been dismissed from his company; Was there anything irregular about the policy he sold Albert Snyder, insuring htm for $102,0007 Perhaps not. but domination by a pretty woman with an inflexible will is as possible with life Insurance agents as with other men. The money being assured, now would come the problem of getting it. If we are to believe the sworn confession of Henry Judd Gray, the woman who so overwhelmingly dominated him in other ways now enlisted his help In (If the Indictment Is well founded) ono of the most studied homicides that has occurred in recent criminal annals. She was nndobutcdly a thinker.

But if she had been a better one, the alleged murder would have been more simply done poisoned whiskey self-administered would have turned the trick and left no evidence of foul play such as was in fact found all over the place. You may wonder why this type of woman selected a man like Judd Gray for a lover. Was he not exactly the type of man who would serve whatever purpose she desired, as no other could? A weak, fond, helpless, pliable, frightened fellow who would jump to execute an order from a dominant mind.

Reports that the Coast Guard of ficials planned to abolish the auxiliary boat station at Arverne, in order to make way for a building development have been emphatically denied by officials of the service. The auxiliary boat station has been maintained by the Coast Guard since tho Arverne fire, when the Coast Guard station located on the site was destroyed by tho big fire which swept over seven square blocks. The Coast Guards At Rock- away Point have the keys to tho sta tion and in time ot emergency, the men from the Point station travel to the Arverne base and take out the boats.

For sometime there has been a strong feeling that the Arverne auxiliary base should be made a permanent station same as existed before, but the Coast Guard officials feel that thcra Is no need for such action. "FATHER-SON DAY" MAY 15 Byrne Sets Date Officially in Procla mation. Sunday, May 15, has been desig nated by Borough President Byrne as "Father and Son Day" in Brooklyn. School principals today were urged by Superintendent of Schools O'Shea to bring this to the attontlon of boy pupils. 'I know of no finer method for the encouragement of our youth than an open manifestation of interest on the part of our people than the proper proper observance of such a day," Mr.

Byrne said in his proclamation. "It is felt that by promotion of a better underatandlng and tho creation of such a relationship between fathers and sons, many fine objects will be attained. Tho son will b' guided and profited by tho expert ence of- his rather; the life of the family will bo made happier and pleasanter; the experience of the son will broaden the outlook and ludg- mcnt of the father; the horrifying statistics which show that so many ot our criminals are young men will In some degree, be abated." Banquet of the New York today prepared to re ceive President Coolidge when he arrive here by special train' late In the afternoon to address the ZOth century dinner of the United Press A distinguished Company of news paper executives? here for the Amer ican Newspaper Publishers' Associa tlon convention, will be guests at the dinner, which will be held at the Hotel Biltmore. The Presidential party will be met by Karl A. Blckel, president of the United Press Associates, and will be escorted at once to the hotel.

Mr. Coolidge will start speaking at 9 o'clock, (New York Daylight Saving Time or 8 P. M. Eastern Standard) and the address will be broadcast by the red and blue net Book Issued Today Protests "Against Prejudice That Led to Lieutenant's Conviction." Henry H. Klein, former police reporter and late Deputy Commissioner of Accounts in the Hylan regime, in a book issued today by the Isaac Goldman Company, says Charles Becker, the police lieutenant who died in the electric chair, was the "victim of a conspiracy of low gamblers, aided by others." Klein protests against the "prejudice that made Becker's conviction possible and the error that confirmed it." The book, entitled "Sacrifice," recalls the slaying of Herman Rosenthal by four gunmen in front of the Metropole Hotel in West 43d near Broadway, at 2 o'clock on the morning of July 16.

1912. "Gyp the Blood." "Whltie" Lewis, "Dago Frank" Ciroficl and "Lefty Louis," were executed as the actual slayers. Rosenthal on the day before the killing had "squealed" to Charles S. Whitman, then District Attorney and later Governor, of graft relations between Becker and gamblers. Jack Rose, "Bridgle" Webber and Harry Vallon, three gamblers, and Sam Schepps, their friend, were the principal witnesses against Becker at the Lieutenant's first trial.

This con viction subsequently was set aside by the Court of Appeals. Becker again was convicted in May 1915, and this conviction was upheld. Without Droduelnar any new docu- mentary evidence to sustain his con- tentlons. the author insists that Becker was Involved in the murder conspiracy by Rose, Webber and Val- ion to save theniaelvfia from the death chair. "The informers' did a complete job they disposed of the gunmen as well as'Becker," Mr.

Klein continues. 'The four doped and morally stunted boys' who were induced to go to the Metropole on the fatal night paid for their folly with their lives. It was Rose and Webber not Becker who caused the murder ot Rosenthal, and they were abetted by other gamblers, all of whom were no doubt encouraged to attempt to kidnap him (Rosenthal) by 'lg Tims anxious desire to prevent his appearance he-fore the Grand Jury. Rosenthal had Just publicly attacked three high police officials Inspector Hayes. Capt.

Day and Lieut. Becker and it would have been suicidal for any of them to have done anything to- prevent Rosenthal's appearance before the Grand Jury. They would-have been guilty of a criminal offense If they caused his kidnaping or induced him not to respond to a Grand Jury sub-pena or to give false testimony." The book ot 43Z pages cunaimo principally of extracts from newspapers. Much stress Is placed on an affidavit signed by Harry Apple- baumv -secretary to tne late -nig Tim" Bulllvan. for many years tne Bowery Tammany leader.

This affidavit was submitted to Justice Ford two days before Becker was put. to death, in the last fruit less legal effect to save me lieu tenant, who was head of the "Strong Arm Squad.

Chicago, April 26. For the sec ond time since ho has been In this country, Alexander Kerensky, re- Soviet dictator of Russia, has suffered a "dignified Insult" a resounding slap in the face administered in public. The first assault, occurring In New York a month ago, was done by woman, and Kerensky considered there was no recourse. Last night. the former premier was slapped by a Czarist army captain.

Twa elaborate project tnvolvlng expenditure) of 166,000,000 for the relief of the present vehicular trat-flo congestion between Manhattan and Queens received assurances of support from the city administration at the meeting of the Committee of the Whole of the Board of Estimate today. The board voted to appropriate $150,000 with which to perfect plans for the improvement of the Queens-boro Bridge. The total cost of the Improvement will reach $10,000,000. A proposal to construct a vehicular tunnel between 18th st, Manhattan, and Borden Queens, with a branch to Oreenpolnt, at a cost of $56,000,000, was laid over for a week. Mayor Walker meanwhile Instructed Corporation Counsel Nicholson to report on the feasibility of constructing this tunnel under the so-called Port Authority plan.

In arguing for the Improvement on the Queensboro Bridge, Commissioner of Plants and Structures Albert Goldman denied that the cost will amount to 10,000,000 as claimed by Borough President Queens. He declared that the amount would be nearer $5,000,000 and cited the cost of the bridge Improvement itself as about $3,500,000 and the land to be taken about' The present plans for the bridge improvement provide for an Increase cf about -60 per cent, to-the capacity of the bridge, by creating new lanes of traffic -Additional approaches on both the Manhattan and Queens side are Intended to obviate the present long lines of waiting vehicles In both boroughs. The committee voted $150,000 for the Department of Plant and Structures with which to draw up the final plana. At the conclusion of the discussion of the bridge the committee listened to a delegation from the 34th St Association, headed by Samuel Kayburn, urging the construction of a tunnel between Manhattan and Queens for vehicular traffic "In view of the determination of the Committee of the Whole to proceed with the improvement on the 'Queensboro Bridge," Walker told the delegates, "we will hear plans for a tunnel or a similar Improve- mentfto connect Long Island City and Manhattan." Cost of the tunnel, was placed at $56,000,000, Of which $34,000,000 will go toward the tunnel Itself, between S8th St. and.

Long Island City; $6,000,000 for a branch to connect with Greenpolnt, and $16,000,000 for an extension in Manhattan. Mayor Walker declared that the, only obstacle to this proposal was the financial status of the city. On the request of Borough President Miller of Manhattan, the corporation counsel was instructed to report upon the legality or a pian ior me construction of the tunnel which would not prove a serious drain upon the city treasury.

Walker Regular Democratic Club, were held In $500 bail each for hearing Wednesday by Magistrate Rayflel yesterday.

Although most of the men were members of the club, according to Francis S. Coyle, president, the restaurant was leased to Samuel Silver-stein and in no way connected with tho organization. This Is the first raid of its kind since Pollco Commissioner Warren took office. Little troublo Is expected to result in political circles because tho club Is not tho regular Democratic organization ot tho 23d A. and the restaurant was not a part of the club.

The club was organized to support Mr. Walker In tho primary fight of 1925 by Democrats who broke from the leadership of Deputy Register Hyman Schrocnstcin of the regular Democratic Club at 1731 Pitkin which supported Hylan. Four detectives of the staff of Inspector Sackctt, who made the ruld. caught several men trying to escape through windows to an extension roof, and rounded up a few running to the reur yard. Tho detcctlven said the men wcro playing poker at six tables and were boisterous.

Mr. Coyle. who was not present at the raid, said the club was locked at the time. 6TH G. 0.

MINISTER Money, Rum and Lust Caused Crime, Says Rev. McCaul Money, rum and lust were the causes of the Snyder-Gray tragedy, the Rev. Robert McCaul told his congregation in tty Washington Avenue Baptist Church, Gates and Washington last night. "This tragedy again brings tha question: Who is to blame? Mrs. Snyder blames Gray, he blames her, so it has been since the time of Adam and- Eve," exclaimed Mr.

McCaul. "Behind the stage one can Iwar the clink of gold, the tinkle of the wine glass and the raucous voice of lust, the sinister trio who make demons of humans and sinners of saints," the minister said. "Saturday night revelries are the cause of a great deal of unrest on the Sabbath," said tho speaker. "Instead of preparing to meet God on Sunday the majority of people these days hold a devil's feast on Saturday and forget all about their God on the Sabbath. This crime that has startled the country was committed immediately after one of these devil's feasts, a great many of which would put the ancient orgies of Rome and Egypt in a second division.

Life is more terrible in modern society today than it Is in the jungles. Most animals have a sense of fairness, but man, when crazed by drink or passion, has no sense whatever. "Ruth Snyder and Judd Gray surrendered to tho spirit of the age, and cast out of their hearts the spirit of Christ," Mr. McCaul asserted. "Sitting In their prison cells, outcasts from -society, I wonder what reception they would give a person who offered them money, rum or gaiety? I believe they would refuse such offers, and no doubt ask for a Bible that they may read the words of their God whom they have forsaken," concluded the Rev.

McCaul. PRATT GIRL RETURNS TO JUVENILE HOME a Roberta Jane Put on Parole for Return to Des Moines. Roberta Jane Pratt, 6, whose foster-mother, Mrs. Everett S. Pratt, was cleared last week ot a charge of assault against the child was returned to the custody of the Juven ile Court of Des Moines, Iowa, by Justice William Young in "Children's Court, Manhattan, today.

ber, too, that he was keyed-up and reinforced with "hooch." And now tho jurymen In the box. You may look them over and say those men could never be vamped by the defendant Snyder. Don't be too sure that ANY men cannot bo influenced by a powerful woman who wills that they shall be. Jurymen are always old-fashioned men, conservative men, men who do not think a woman should be punished the same as a man. No matter what they say In the preliminary questioning, scarcely a man lives who Is willing to send a woman to the electric chair even an ugly woman, even an old woman, even a childless woman, even a mur deress.

In a day or two we shall be slosh ing around knee-deep in sentimentality. We shall hear what a fine character the woman defendant Mas, how fond a mother she was and is, how she has been maligned by gos sip-mongers, how her mother's (Mrs. Browns) heart is breaking for her daughter and grand-daughter, and how justice will be best served by an acquittal. It is even possible that Judd Gray, by his confession and even his testimony, may assume all responsibility and guilt and completely exonerate the woman who so overwhelmingly dominated him among the others, and whom he still loves perhaps perhaps.
