Conservatively Estimated at $4,000
Manager Thornet Believed to Re
Innocent of Crime.

NEW YORK, Feb. II. = The federal
authorities are convinced that J. Grant
Lyman, the missing broker, who operat-
ed offices in New York, Springfield
Mass, and Hartford, Conn. nnder the
name of John II. Putnam & Co. secnred
at least 100000 through his stock sales
during the short time the comDanv was
IN business. 1t is further believed that
he had timed his transactions in sucb q
manner that he was able to get away
without making any returns to his
clients, and with almost full instruments
for stock sales IL his possession. The
receipts which have accumulated at the
New YORK otflce since Lyman went
away has convinced the authorities
tnat the brokerage firm did an extern
s1Ve business throughout the country
Additional details regarding his on
eratlons were disclosed yesterday at the
hearing before the federal district conrt
IN the involuntary bankruptcy proceed
lngs against the company. Louis b.
Ihornet of Holyoke, the manager of
the New York office, charged with be-
ing co-conspirator with Lyman, testi-
fed that his employer had informed
INN he had : cleaned up $4,000 as
q broker and promised to teach him
the methods of the street = Thoraet.
who confessed he aided LYMAN in es-
Gaping from a Los Angeles hospital.
where he was a prisoner, asserted he
unexpectedly met Lyman IN Springfield
last November. Thornet said that he
was working at the Westinghouse plant
IN Chicopee Falls as a machinist at the
time, and gladly accepted an offer of a
salary double what he was then earn
ing.
The federal officials are inclined to
regard Thornet innocent of any actual
offense in connection with the charges
made against Lyman. They believe
that he was innocently duped into the
concern and Is now made to suffer as
result of his previous experience
with the missing man. Another wit
ness, an employe of a brokerage house,
said he had heard reports that Lyman
had contract for supplying the Unit
ed States army with wooden socks, and
that ne intended to engage in the Yfuni-
tons business on a large scale. Miss
Alice Lyman, sister of Lyman, admitted
that on previous occasions she had re-
celved mail from her brother, but de-
clared she had no knowledge of his
operations in New York. Among the
other witnesses yesterday were two
ehautteurs employed by Lyman at diff
ferent times.
1t has been conservatively estimated
that Lyman did not ''clean up more
than $4,000 at Springfield. Most OF
tins business was with people living in
Western Massachusetts, who were lured
into buying stock on the instaIment
plan by Lyman : letters This amount
represents but a small part of what the
actual value of the stocks would have
been if Lyman had continued to remain
| IN business without interference from
| the federal authorities.

ercises at the celebration.
At the Chapel period this morning
Prof. Bricker of Syracuse, N. ",
spoke Of the Importance of leadership
in the rural communities and pointed
out the rural teachers opportunity in
that capacity. He said the teachers
were at disadvantage on account of
their immaturity, their inexperience
and their short tenure, but that losses
in the teaching force were compens-
ated by the recruits gained among the
home makers of the community. The
teachers have the advantage of not be-
longing to any sect or party and yet
willing to assist in any capacity which
will be helpful in the community. They
will be found in the church and Sun
day school and those who are most
progressive will be in Summer school.
The most hopeful sign of progress in
the rural schools is the large number
of teachers in attendance at the Sum-
mer session. There should here be
worked out a program or plan Of &C
ton which should engage the co-opera-
ton Of teachers and pupils and pat
rOnS.

A great deal Of damage was done
to four cars Of barley, wheat and rye,
that were a part Of the freight train.
A car filled with rye buckled, the rye
being piled up on the depot platform.
The air brake on this car was forced

very easily have been killed. The ten

AND CROP IN
TERVIEW FOR JULY, 1916

domestic crop news during the past
month have been generally encourage
ing, said c. H. Zehringer of the I'm
ion National Bank, yesterday.
"The cool weather over the winter
wheat area has been quite favorable to
the growing grain. The heads have
filled we'll and it is probable that the
yield will exceed earlier expectations.
Though the stand of spring wheat is
excellent and the plants have obtained
! extra vigor in the past month, warm
weather and sunshine would be most
welcome in the Northwest.
"There is not much Improvement in
the corn belt. The early conditions
can hardly be overcome by even the
lest of weather from now on. A fair
crop will be matured. however, if fall
frOsts do not come too early in the
season.
"The bond market, which for several
weeks prior to the conclusion of the
political conventions, was somewhat
under restraint, shows more activity.
Investors are assured there will be no
| disturbing elements in the coming
campaigns, which will have any bear
ing on bond values.
"The gold movement from Ottawa,
for the account of the Bank Of Eng
land, has brought, up to date, S76,0O0,-
600 to New York and it is probable
that fully $100,000,0OO will be brought
before the movement is ended. This
tends to greatly increase our cash
position.
"The end of high prices for oil is
believed to be in sight, owing to the
great stimulation that has been given
to production, as there is more petrol
cum being brought to market now
than at any previous time in the his
tory of the oil industry, excepting for
a short time when the Gushing pool in
Oklahoma alone, was producing above
100000 barrels day. The total pro-
Guction Of crude oil in the United
States is now above 100000 barrels a
day.
"For long time the inevitability of
the U. S. having to intervene in MeXi-
co has been amply discounted by fin
anciers so that actual war would effect
business but slightly and excepting for
some temporary declines due to selling
