Tears Hole in DWELLING.

Lynn, July 8. - Racing backwards
down a steep hill after the occupants,
unable to control the machine, had
jumped into the street, foui ton auto
truck belonginging to Walter o. Yves
ton of 81 Sadler street, crashed through
the outer wall into the kitchen of the
house of Edward Beauchamp, 10 Reser-
voir street, this morning.
The two Beauchamp children, Jean
nette, years old, and Josephine, a.,
who were asleep in room directly back
of the kitchen, were thrown out of bed
when the impact came and as the big
truck tore its way through the five-foot
hole into he kitchen and knocked over
sewing machine, the children scream
ed with fright.
Mr.. and Mrs. Beauchamp were sleep
ing in the front part of the house and
they rushed to the rear, fearing their
children had been killed. The shock
Jared the entire house and disturbed
the whole structure.
The car was occupied by Weston and
Leo Smith. 1t was stopped at the top
of the hill on Reservoir road and the
rear wheels had been blocked, when it
began to back down the hill. Weston
tried to stop the car, but the car re-
fused to respond Weston then jumped
to safety and let the car go.
On the way down the hill it struck
good-sized tree and broke it off short
distance from the ground. The total
loss to the Beauchamp house is esti-
mated at $500.

STEAL 1925. 900 NECKLACE.

London, July l6. The theft of a
pearl necklace valued at S625. 600 was
reported to the Scotland Yard author
tiles, today. The pt arls are alleged to
have been stolen during transit by post
from Paris to a dealer in London.
The robbery was discovered in Lon
don this morning when the registered
packet in which the necklace had been
dispatched was opened. The case con-
tanned only pieces of sugar. The seals of
the packet were apparently intact. AS
the sugar was of French manufacture the
abstraction of the necklace is considered
as probably having occurred in France.
A It ward of $50, 600 has been offered
for a clue leading to the recovery of
the necklace which is insured for
$50, 600.
The necklace is described as contain
ing 81 graduated pearls, weighing l, 25s
grains. The case contained also two
drop pearls of "a Ia grains and a round
pearl of % grains

CHUM TELLS OF TRAGEDY.
Miss Lloyd an Eye Witness OF
Princeton Asto Accident.

Trenton, N. j., July 12.-The testi-
mony of Miss Grace Lloyd has proved
to be the most important yet heard in
the trial of Joseph F. Moran of Brook
Ign and Irwin A. Hoffman, his chauffeur,
for the killing of Miss Mae Duryea of
Princeton on April 6. Miss Lloyd was
the sole eye witness to the tragedy,
save those in the auto which struck the
victim.
Miss Lloyd was%walking with Miss
Duryea at the time of the catastrophe,
and she testified at yesterday after
moons session of the court that they
saw the large gray Packard car some
distance away; that it came upon them,
at high rate of speed, almost before
they were aware of its approach, and
that no warning horn was sounded
A black car had passed them a few
moments before, and they agreed that
when the next car passed one would go
to one side of the road and the other to
the other. Both cars were going in
the same direction in which they were
walking.
Looking quickly, they saw the gray
car fairly upon them and jumped. Miss
Duryea was struck when off the
macadam roadway, the conclusion being
that the car left the center of the road
before it struck the victim.
The witness said there were three
persons in the car, two men and third
person, but whether a man or woman
she could not say. She could not
identify the men accused in court.

RELIEF is IMPERATIVE.

To the Public Service Commission of the
State of Verm MT:
Gentlemen: | herewith transmit for
your consideration and action the re-
port of Messrs. E. A. Cook and w. A.
Graham, appointed by me to investi-
gate the telephone conditions now eX-
listing in this Stat and who were given
authority by your honorable commission
to make such investigation by your
order dated June 4, 1913.
This report speaks for itself and re-
quires no comment at my hands except
perhaps to suggest, that in view of all
the circumstances, particularly the re-
fusal and neglect of the telephone COM
pany to give certain information, that
the burden should properly rest upon
the telephone company to show that the
present rates are fair, just and
equitable.
Conditions as described in the report of
these gentlemen make imperative for
the State to obtain relief for is citizens.
wish to express my belief that it
is your plain duty to take such steps
and to issue such orders based upon a
liberal and reasonable Interpretation of
your powers as will speedily relieve
existing conditions and finally determine
the States right to regulate and con-
troll these corporations. If by reason
of such actions on your part, questions
of law or equity present themselves
which either the State or the telephone
company may elect to appeal to the
supreme court, the State may properly
ask an early adjudication of the same
and thus determine whether additional
legislation may be required at the hands
of the special session of the Legisla-
ture which for other reasons | shall be
compelled to call.

Poison Killed $4,000 Horses

Topeka, Kan, July 1l.-That the
plague which killed more than 25, 600
horses and mules in Kansas last year
was not an infectious disease, but due
to a poison, was the report of the
special commission of the University of
Kansas.
The report stated that there was no
known cure for the ailment from which
the animals suffered, and that the eli
matte conditions which produced it
probably will not prevail again in many
years.
A parasitic fungus growing on the
grains and other vegetation caused the
death of the animals and the poisonous
conditions in the pastures was due to
the excessive moisture and humidity,
accompanied by high temperature.
