Smith of Clarendon, 30 years old was
seriously burned about the face and
her right wrist was badly cut late this
afternoon by an explosion of unusual
character at her home. She was
cleaning the garnet and started to
prepare some bottles for later use in
preserving. Noticing that one con-
tanned what was apparently a deposit
of dust she attempted to empty the
contents into the kitchen stove in
which there was fire. The sediment
proved to be gun powder which is said
to have been in the bottle forty years.
There was an explosion which set her
clothing on fire, drove pieces of shattered
glass into her wrist and blew the covers
and doors from the stove. Mrs Smith
was alone except for her two babies who
were on the floor in the kitchen. She
ran out of doors and her husband who
was haying near. saw her plight, eXtin-
gushing the flames with water. The in
iuries will probably not be fatal. The

STOCKHOLDERS CAN GET
BACK ONLY $8,000,000

stockholders or the public through a rail-
road corporation as it is personally to rob
an individual"
OF all the millions lost to New Haven
stockholders, the commission estimated
that possibly 100000 may be recovered
by proper action. Evidence in its pos
session tending TO show violations OF the
laws of New York. Massachusetts and
Rhode Island has been turned over to
the proper authorities in those States.
The department of justice has been fur
nished with a complete record of the tes-
timony secured by the commission, but
there is no federal statute under which
the government can aid the stockholders
In recovering any of their losses. A sug-
gestion was made that any expenditures
in violation of the antitrust act We're
beyond the powers of the directors, and
raises the question of whether the d.
rectors may not be held personally re-
sponsible TO satisfy any losses which re-
! suited.
