BENJAMIN A. HAZEL
NAMED AS EXECUTOR

Benjamin A. HAZEL. of Smyrna, with
George Woodside. of Philadelphia, have
been named executors in the viii of
John W WOodside. the well-known
fnancier who died i'm Paris recently.
says the Smyrna Times. Mr Wood
side died leaving an estate variously
estimated from a million to a million
and a half dollars and as a further
compliment for the love and confidence
he had for his friend Mr.. HAZEL, he
names him executor without bond. Be
sides being associated together in the
snuff business, Mr.. HAZEL and the late
Mr. Woodside were. interested in the
great Tonopah mine in Nevada where
Mr. Woodside as stated last week made
a fortune. In this connection it is
interesting to note that the first Tono-
pah meeting and organization took
place in Smyrna in the HAZEL Build
ing in a little room directly over the
Transportation Company's office. The
sign indicating the headquarters of the
company is still in front of the build
ing and has never been taken down
although the company outgrew it's
Smyrna quarters years ago. The COM
pany was organized in Smyrna and
was Incorporated under the laws Of
Delaware at the direction Of Messrs.
Woodside and HAZEL and Herman p.
HAZEL of this town was made the first
Delaware director. The prophesies set
forth at this early meeting have been
in a partial sense realized and the
camp which sprung up like a mush-
room in the barren desert Of Nevada
has not only made its prospectors in
dependently rich, but is now looked
upon as being one Of the richest mines
in the United States. Few realize that
the Tonopah Mining Company had its
beginning in Smyrna.

MARKET PRICES
COMING DOWN
Jersey WateTmeIOnS Plentiful
and Of a Fine
Quality

In the fruit and vegetable markets
wholesale prices have been dropping
for several days in obedience to the law
of supply and demand. Today prime
tomatoes went as low as 25 cents
basket and brisk demand failed to
raise the price much A basket holds
fve-eights of a bushel and is the
standard.
New Jersey watermelons have sell
dom, if ever, been more plentiful or Of
finer quality. Huge melons of var
ious shapes and sizes are piled high
along the East Fourth street sidewalks
and under the awnings, which extend
n considerable distance into the street.
They are selling at from 10 cents to IS
cents apiece wholesale.
White potatoes are selling at whole
sale for S5 cents per basket The quail
ity is good. Sweet potatoes sold for
80 to 20 cents per basket. The price
is expected to go lower.
Eggplant is still in the market and
is very cheap. The top of the Jer-
sey canteloupe season appears 10 have
been reached. They are very plenu-
full at present, but will not last long.
The price is Is cents a basket whole
sale.
Almost universal complaint is made
by housewives or those upon whom the
responsibility Of purchasing vegetable
food falls, that retailers practically
ignore in condition of the wholesale
market in fixing prices It is believed
by many that the hucksters and retail
dealers hold up prices regardless of
the amount they pay themselves, put
ing an unjust and onerous burden on
the consumer.
In their own behalf the dealers offer
the excuse that their losses at GER
tain seasons, in consequence Of fiuc-
tuating prices and perishable stock
is so great that they must make up the
remainder in prices when opportunity
offers or go to the wall.

dav in the announcement that a new

interfere with the project.
Aired TAFT. OF the Delaware Trust
Company, who acquired the theatre
site for the Lyceum Theatre Company,
has been working ON the project for
many months. Several different sites
were under consideration, and Mr..
TAFT had options on all Of them, but
the Hines property was finally de-
cided upon and secured.
There is a possibility that a roof
garden may be placed on the new
theatre. as the site overloois the Del
aware river. and a fine view could be
had from the roof

BANKERS FILE COMPLAINT
Accuse Express Companies of
Usurping Their Powers.

Washington, June 29.-One of the
most important cases yet filed with
the interstate commerce commission
under the new railway rate law was
presented by the American Bankers
association. In brief the complainant
alleges that the express companies,
through their powers and facilities as
common carriers, are usurping the pre-
negatives of the banking associations
and at the same time are employing
the capital of the banks of the coun-
try in the conduct Of their business.
1t is alleged that the operations of
the express companies in the conduct
OF their exchange business is serious
iy detrimental to the interest of tie
banks and that the use Of the inter-
state facilities and the relations which
the express companies have with the
railways enable the companies to
discriminate against regular CONNER
cial operations of banking institutions.
The complaint is directed against the
Adams Express company, the United
States Express company, the Amer
lean Express company, the Pacific Ex-
press company, Wells Fargo & Co.,
the Southern Express company and
the Great Northern Express company.

Gladstone, former choir leader of the
Baptist church, stood before Judge
Templeton at Grand Forks admitting
his guilt under a statutory charge, and
received sentence of a year and a half

that friends in Grand Forks interced-
ed for him. His attorney pleaded
with the court to be lenient.
Judge Templeton also sentenced
Harry Smith of New York to serve
two years in the p%enitentiary, and
Wallace McRea of Winnipeg to one
year for burglary. Audrie Cole was
sentenced to serve a year in the peni-
Tertiary for forgery.
