MARKET NEWS By R. Allyn Lewis

Market closed with a mild bear panic after a large short interest had accumulated in the rails, especially in the active ones like Reading and Union Pacific. The announcement that the railroads and their employees would arbitrate the wage question, brought covering movement which broadened out Shorts in motors GOV cred very freely just before the close and found stocks in scant supply. While the crop damage is a serious question. this is no longer a country dependent on crops and while the wheat crop is much smaller, it is still d pretty large crop comparing with the past. Something is always needed when the market grows sluggish to start mp dealing and it may be that this covering movement will result in broader market.

RUTHERFORD LOCATES ! SEVERAL NEW CLAIMS

JEROME, Aug. 7.-Q H. Ruther- ford located four mining claims in the district south of the Copper Chief country last week. Not long ago Rutherford located q water right at this point which gives promise of being valuable for mining purposes. The source of the water in question consists of springs in a secluded spot in Gaddes' canyon. There is flow of 200 inches. said to be continuous the year around. and the failure Of those more or less acquainted with the country to sight the spot before, is believed to be due to the fact that the water, after flowing for a short distance above ground, sinks beneath the surface, as so many streams Tn this part of the country do. The locator of the right believes he has a resource that will be in demand for operations in that particular portion of the district.

 The rise in rails was led by Read ing and had it's inception in rumors, later confirmed that the railway unions had agreed to submit their differences to mediation. The poor condition disclosed yesterday by the government crop report seemed to have been discounted grangers, no less than trunk lines and coalers par ticipating in the upswing of the final hour.
 U. s. Steel asserted its wonted leadership advancing 1% on very large dealings including numerous individual lots of 1000 to 4,120 shares to SS%. it's best price since January last. Steel and kindred issues were materially assisted by trade reports which dwelt on the scarcity of raw ma terials and the prospect of additional price advances.
 Shipping shares formed the founda | tion of the forenoon's rise. Muni- | tions and equipments while less con- | spicuous than in their boom periods, were appreciably higher. together with l the motor group.
 Paper shares were again responsive ] to the wide demand for the manu- | factured product. International Paper preferred augmenting previous gains 1 of the week with a further advance of four points on the belief that pre-
 ferred dividends will be funded from time to time. MeXicans hardened on

PLAZA

Not within a. year has the Plaza of fered such a good, wholesome and de- 1ightfu1 bill of variety attractions as that which was inaugurated before record audiences yesterday. s'The Betting Bettys's was the feature act, and a real feature act it was, too, in every sense of the word. There was nothing in it that might be compared with the usual girl acts seen locally from time to time for it was, staged with the wealth of legitimate musical comedy, was constructed along novel lines, beautifully costum- ed and contained fine vein of real comedy while the girls themselves, a large chorus of them, were as pretty and graceful as ones widest irnag- ination might form
 Knight Brothers and Saute1 were diversion entitled, 'SThe Green Urn- ,brella-'' There was neither rhyme nor reason to the skit but it was riot of laughter from the start to the finish while some clever exhibitions in the art of dancing were greatly appreciat- ed.
 Harry Sykes sang some new nun- tied, gigg1ed and laughed away until he had the whole audience doing it. He was warmly received.
 Martin and Keller have a comedy acrobatic act that is one of the best ever seen on the boards of a local playhouse. Both boys are exceed insly clever knockabout acrobats and the comedy is good.
 Those who have had the pleasure of an hour or two's entertainment at the hands of Douglas Fairbanks dur ing his several Broadway engageme ents will probably appreciate just a wee bit more than the others his latest ,g Happiness in which his boyish, buoyant personality is responsible for one long roar of laughter during the showing of the entire five reels of film. It is a real masterpiece and worthy the efforts of such a talented star.

The blaze was discovered by one of the members of the family, and a call was sent for the Southport fire department. Considerable difficulty was experienced by the Arenen in quenching the flames as they were con- fined mostly to the walls. Most of the damage was done to the kitchen The loss is covered by insurance. MT. Wakeman and family just returned from spending the winter in the South.

COMPENSATION
 LAW INCLUDES SCHOOL MA'AMS
Entitled to Benefit Undes State Act, Commissioner Will
 Hams Finds.

The superior court of Litchheld county has sustained the decision of Compensation Commissioner Water bury to the effect that a schoolteacher is an employe of the state and is eItgt- b1e for compensation under the law.
 Commissioner Williams made his decision in the case of Emma R. Skinner, a teacher at the Connecticut School for IInbeci1es at LakeviI1e. While engaged in marching her pupils in the gymnasium, duty increased in difficulty because of the defects of the pupils, Miss Skinner slipped and fell on the floor. Her left hip was fractured. The accident occurred March Il, 1914, and the commissioner for the Fifth district handed down his decision Nov. II, 1914.
 The question decided by the com missioner was whether such an en- pIoye of the state is covered by the law. He ruled that she was and that compensation be paid at $1o week during total incapacity, and that she have a right to further hearing on the question of partial disability and med ical service fees.
 The opinion accompanying the de- cision of Commissions Williams, which the superior court has sustain ed. sets forth that, had the legislature intended to exclude employees of the state from the benefits of the law, it would have done so sjecidca1ly. It is further said that ITO the public at large it makes little difference whether a pro rata of the money raised by taxation is extended in compensation payments or in the support of persons incapacitated by injury from the pro- ductive labor in public institutions. To the injured person. however, it is vastly different whether he received sum of money as compensation due him under the terms of public law, or whether he is humiliated as the recipient of public charity. The avoidance of the. latter alternative seems a valuable right
