SLIDING TROLLEY CAR
JUMPED THE TRACK
Seven Persons We're Injured at Woburn,
Mass, Last Night, Two of Them
Seriously-The Brakes Failed
to Hold

Woburn, Mass March lS.-Seven per-
sons were injured, two seriously, when
an electric car containing 80 passengers
jumped the track on sharp curve at
the foot of the steep Bow street hill
late last night, and plunged 40 feet
across the street into an embankment.
The car remained upright and the pas
sengers inside were iammed so closely
together that most of them escaped with
slight bruises. Those injured were in
the vestibules or near the doors.
The most seriously hurt were Mrs.
Henry Neergard of Woburn and May
nard G. Marshall of Wakefield. Both
were removed in an unconscious condi-
tion to the hospital. 1t is feared Mrs.
Neergard has internal injuries. Mr..
Marshall was cut about the head and
badly bruised.
Others who were so cut and bruised
as to require medical assistance werei
MAURICE WALSH, Wakefield.
ROSE McALEER, Woburn.
JOSEPHINE McALEER, Woburn.
FELIX LECLAIR, motorman, Chelsea
DANIEL McINNIS, conductor, Mel
rose.
The majority of those in the car were
returning from St. Patrick's day cele-
bration. 1t is believed the car was so
heavily loaded that the brakes failed to
hold on the steep incline.

GOV. FLETCHER SEEKS
TO CUT VALUATIONS
While Telephone Companies That Are to
Be Taxed Ask for $5oo,ooo High
er Valuation, Making
Most Unique Situation.

hearing is being given by the state
board Of appeals at the State House in
Montpelier on the valuation of telephone
companies in Vermont for purposes of
taxation. At the outset of the hearing
yesterday the somewhat unusual situa-
tion developed of the state asking for a
reduction on the valuations as made by
State Tax Commissioner Charles A.
Plumley and of one of the companies,
the New England Telephone & Tele-
graph Co.. to have them maintained.
The board Of appeals is composed of
Lieut. Gov. Howe, Secretary of State
Bailey and State Auditor Graham.
In defending his position in asking
for the reduction OF the Plumley valua-
tion and the substitution of the valua-
tions as proposed in the order OF the
Vermont public service commission call
ing for reduction of rates, Governor
Fletcher said: "'rhe state desires that
there shall not be two systems of taxa
tion, one for the purpose Of rate making
and the other for the purpose OF taxa
ton This means reduction OF S500,000
on the appraisals as made by the tax
commissioner.
The New England Telephone & Tele-
graph Co. and subsidiaries represented
by M. B. Jones OF Boston, submitted
valuations made to~-the public service
commission which were 5000 to $780,
600 higher than the commission report
ed.
Mr.. Jones defended the passumpsic
company, which the governor attacked

BUCKET SHOPS
AGAIN WORKING
New York Stock Exchange Considerably
Agitated by Report-Attempt Is
Being Made to Bind the
Western Union.

New York, March Authenticated
reports that so-called bucket shops had
resumed operations in northern New
York and some parts of New England
caused considerable agitation to-day in
stock exchange circles, particularly in
view Of the fact of the new contract soon
TO be signed between the exchange and
the Western Union Telegraph ompany
for the distribution of stock exchange
quotations.
The exchange proposes in the new con-
tract to bind the Western Union not to
sell quotations TO any individual or cor
poration without the approval of the
exchange. For many years the telegraph
company had the sole right to the sale
of quotations to outsiders, paying the
exchange 100000 annually, and never
disclosed the number of its patrons

PROMINENT ST. ALBANS MAN.
DR.. Theodore R. Waugh Died in Bur.
lington, Aged 81.

St. Albans, March lS.-Dr. Theodore
r. Waugh, one of the best known citi.
zens of st. Albans, died to-day at Mrs
Rood's sanatorium in Burlington. where
he had been undergoing treatment dur.
| ing the past two months. The cause OF
death was nephritis. The body will be
brought to st. Albans Thursday morn
| ing, but the funeral arrangements have
not been made.
Theodore Rogers Waugh was born in
Sanquoit, N. Y, Nov. l, 1916, the sec
ond son of Rev. and Mrs. John Waugh
the former of whom was Presbyterian
minister and writer. He was educated
in the public schools and st. Lawrence
academy. In 1856 he went to New York
City and worked for time with the dry
goods firm of G. II. Bowman & Co.. after
which he returned to Canton, N. Y, and
studied medicine, later being graduated
from the Hahnemam Medical college of
Philadelphia in the class of 1872.
In May, 1872, DIR. Waugh came to st.
Adams and had since been located here
in the practice of medicine, being u
homeopathist. He was at one time pres
ident of the Vermont society of such
practitioners and had been connected
with the st. Albans hospital for long
time, serving as director. superintend-
ent and treasurer. He had large prop
erty interests. one being the Waugh
opera house here.
On June Il, 1873, he married Adah J.
Reynolds OF Carthage, n, Y. Their
first child. Theodore, died at the age of
five years, and an adopted daughter,
Marolterite who hpcanp the wife of
Charles Mcdonald of New York City,
died few years ago. The only surviv-
ing child is son, Theodore Rogers
Waugh, jr.. student at the New York
Homeopathic Medical college

The big movement for the Barre City
hospital fund swept past the $4,000
mark last night. The flight past the
original minimum amount was accom-.
plished SO easily as to be hardly no.
ticeable. To-day the watchword is $50.
600 and to reach that goal before Fri.
day night the campaign must be prose
cuted with redoubled energy. That the
final summing-up will see the figures
soaring around that mark no one who
has witnessed the enthusiasm displayed
by the workers can possibly doubt
They are in the fight to the finish and
that finish will mean $4,000 for the
new hospital. Every cent is needed TO
pay for the new building.
The sum of $4l ,67424 represented the
total last night when the final returns
were made. For the day the subscrip-
tions aggregated Sl,ss9.75, enough to
bring the total up to point nearly
two thousand beyond the limit staked
out as the least sum necessary to real
ize the splendid gift of Ira C. Calef.
There is Just as much interest now in
bringing the amount of the subscriptions
up to the new goal of $4,000 as there
was in the beginning, when the cam
paigners started out to realize $4,000.
This interest was manifested to-day in
the thorough manner in which the work
ers started out to canvass the unvisited
sections of the city. Day by day the
city teams and the allied towns work
ers are drawing upon reserve store of
energy. That which furnishes fuel for
the movement is seemingly inexhaus-
tible. Day by day, too. their sphere of
operations is spreading out and becom-
