THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1928 PAGE SEVEN SNYDER INSURANCE POLICIES VOID Young Daughter of Murder ed Man Gets $1,652.28 Premiums ---- New York, Nov. 14.--Supreme Court Justice Mahoney ruled today that though there was no evidence that Mrs. Ruth Snyder was thinkin of killing her husband when she too out $95,000 insurance on his life, still she got the policies by deceit, and for that reason they were null and void, And so little Po Snyder, dou- ghter of Albert Snyder and the wo- man who was electrocuted for killing him, will receive only the amount of the premiums paid, $1,652.28, instead of the value of the policies, of which she was beneficiary by assignment from her mother. The policies were taken out more than a year before Snyder was killed py his wife and Henry Judd Gray, her lover. Mrs. der arranged an interview between her husband and Leroy Ashficld, an agent for the Pru- dential Life Insurance Company, but he agreed to take only a policy for $1,000, which has been paid without question, Justice Mahoney ruled that the two larger policies were void in that Sny- der never knew of their existence, TORONTO MAYORALTY Toronto, Nov, 14.--As the end of the year draws mear much in- terest is naturally being displayed in the for hcoming civic elections.

Hope of Earlier Closing in Minds of Mariners--De- cember 5 Mentioned Sarnia, Ont., Nov, 14.--With the approach of the close of navigation on the Great Lakes, mariners are hopeful that the Canadian govern- ment's recommendation that all «rain ships leave the Head of the Lakes with last cargoes by Dee. 5 will result in lake vessels reach- ing their winter havens before the season of heavy storms commences, In recent years comsiderable loss of life has resulted on the Great Lakes just before the close of navi- gation due to grain boats being caught in the severe gales which sweep the lakes at this period of the year, There are 560 steamers at present in active service on the lakes with crews consisting of more than 20,000 men. ; In the past 33 years, 62 steamers have sucenmbed to violent gales, and it is hoped the recommendation of federal authorities concerning an arlier gessation of marine activ- ities this year will see the close of navigation without further loss of Vife, Since 1905 only two years, 1921 and 1925, have passed without hipping loss. There has already heen one marine disasted this year, Owen Sound Transportation ship Manasoo foundered in Georgian Pay with a loss of 18 lives, but this was attributed more to faulty con- struction and ballasting than the heayy seas in which it became a vietim, : The hig storm of 1913 took a large toll, ten boats in all sinking Among the ten was the Charles 8, Price, for many months the '"mys- The Price turned completely aver near Point Edward, and her identity was concealed for a long time, Divers finally identified her, All members of the erew perished, In 1918, fate reached out and rasped the Chester Congdon, 10, 400 tons, The Congdon was one of the largest steel bulk freighters aver lost on the lakes, The Hanna, of the same tonnage, followed her to a watery grave in the following vear, Hidden in the depths of Lake Su- orior is the steamer Kamloops, 'hich sank in the disastrous storm f Dec, 6-7-8, last year, On the 'irst day of the storm the Kam- oops either foundered in Lake Su- nerior or was broken to pleces on the "Graveyard of the Lakes Isle Royale.

He is typically a sea captain and literally fights his way through the picture. Unlike many sea dramas, "After the Storm' has a love interest and it is around two romances that the plot is developed. The story presents two phases of heart interest. The first embitters a man and wakes him a woman hater, It causes a girl to descend through the various stratas of so- ciety until she reaches lowest depths, The second romance melts the heart of the woman-hater and brings him to the dawn of under- standing. The action is set against a back- ground of Singapore with its intri- guing atmosphere and primitive emotions, and upon the high sea aboard the square-rigged schooner "Sampson." Into the plot is woven plenty of red-blooded action. As the title indicates there is a storm--and what a storm it is! Director George B. Seitz has certainly done a fine plece of work with the sequence. An outstanding feature of the production is the manner in which the players handle their roles. If they are in combat they actuanuy fight and no not seem afraid of get- ting hurt, The juvenile leads are in the hands of Eugenie Gilbert, who has a dual role, and Charles E. Delany. Miss Gilbert portrays mother and daughter, The former is the central figure in the first romance and the latter the cause of the second. Through a fascinating series of cut-backs Bosworth delineates a young man full of fire and adven- ture and the same character twenty- six years later when bitterness and Rate have made him cold and exac- ting. WALLACE BEERY' IS SEEN IN NEW PICTURE Wallace Beery with Richard Arlen, Louise Brooks and 75 other 'ollywood screen artists, spent sev- oral weeks in what an expert de- scribes as 'the world's most perfect hobo jungle," near Jacumba, on the Mexican border, The spot, found during weeks of searching by studio location hunters served for three weeks as the hack- ground for some of the most impor- tant action of 'Beggars of Life," Jim Tully's epic of Hobohemia, which Paramount filmed as a spec- ial production. The picture fs hook- ed for showing at the Regent theatre starting Thursday. This "jungle," whose first oc- cupants were the Paramount play- ers, satisfied all demands, It {s in a sheltered miniature, rockhound, valley, near a railroad, on the banks of a clear stream, near a town hut Just outside its corporate limits and has shade trees, Jungles are regular meeting plae- es of tramps, known from one end of the country to the other, where they meet, exchange news, cook their food, mend their clothes, and rest a day or two before continuing thelr ramblings, SCIENTIFIC FARMER ADVERTISES CANADA Edmonton, Alta,, Nov, 14.-- Al. though Herman Trelle, of Wemb- ley, Alberta, internationally known as the "Wheat King," has establish ed an enviable reputation as a grain exhibitor and won the world's championship for both wheat and oats at the Chicago International Show In 1926 and the championship there for oats in 1927, he has never exhibited at the Royal Winter Fair Toronto, This November, however, he will. have entries in the spring vheat, oats, peas and potato class- "8 at the Royal Winter Fair, In an editorial note the Mall and "mpire, Toronto, hespeaks for the noted grain expert of the Peace iver District ® warm welcome, The "fail and Empire says: "If Mr, Her- man Trelle, of the Peace River istrict, who will visit Toronto at the time of the Royal Winter Fair, receives a reception in accord with iis importance, it will surpass that of any holidaying cartoonist or moving picture star, Mr, Trelles's experiments with wheat and oats have given Canada more valuable advertising than even the exploits of her athletic sons and daughters at the Olympic games." Mr. Trelle grew registered seed in 1920, Ruby wheat, and two years later he began winning priz- es. It was Marquis wheat, however, which brought him fame as 2 grain expert, He gave up growing Ruby wheat and devoted his education and talents to the growth of Mar- quis wheat of the highest possible "rade, and some of his Marquis wheat will be shown at the Royal Winter Fair, ECKENER FORECASTS NEW TYPE ZEPPELIN Berlin, Nov. 13.--~--Zeppelins shor- ter in length and of greater width, better able to withstand the stress of storms, would be the pext dir- igible development according to a statement issued today by Dr, Hu- go Eckeper, commander of the Graf Zeppelin in its round trip across the Atlantic to the United 8, SKELETON UNEARTHED London, Noy. 14.--Workmen nn- earthed a skeleton beneath 'the navement in front of Lewes Pub- lic Library which is believed to be a relic of the battle of Lewes in 1264.
