primary grain exchange OF the country.
1t was accomplished by fixing max
imum price for wheat future at or un-
der which sales may be made, but no
buying be permitted except to close out
accounts. No trading in May options OF
wheat, corn or oats is permitted ex
cept to close deals.

Grain prices were lower to-day.

condition has been critical for some time.
With her at the time OF her death were
her sister. Miss Adelaide Griswold of
New York City, and two daughters, Mrs.

Mrs J. R. Lewis of Holyoke, Mass. They
are the only near relatives surviving.
Mrs. Boardman was born in Layalie,

liam B. and Phebe (Mssonl Griswold.
On the death of her father she returned
with her mother TO Vermont, taking up
residence in Morristown. She was mar
ried in 1850 to Dr. Harlsnd 5. Boardman,
a Montpelier physician, who died in
1907. Mrs. BOardman had lived in Mont

TRAIN HIT AUTO >
BEARING THREE MEN
7. ]. Ford, Rutland Manufacturer, Is
Thought to Have Been Seriously
Injured--Machine Was
Smashed.

| Rutland, May ia roadster automo-
bile carrying T. J. Ford and G. w, Fish
of North Clarendon and Robert Ii. Mo
roney OF Rutland was struck by a train
on the Rutland railroad and was thrown
about 80 feet along the track, turning
turtle and pinning the men underneath.
Mr.. Ford, who is member OF the Yer
mont Eyaporator company of this city,
was taken to the Rutland hospital with
numerous injuries, the full extent of
(which is not known The other two
men were much shaken up but were
able to 80 to their homes. The car was
smashed beyond repair.
When the accident happened, the men
were on their way from the company's
Office on West street to the factory in
North Clarendon. According to Mr. Mo-
roney, as the car reached a point near
the crossing it was stopped as a freight
train, evidently being made up was on
the track just ahead of them. One of
the crew, said to have been Arthur Tod
riff of State street, the brakeman, stood
upon the track behind the rear car as it
rolled east, clearing the crossing.
"We're dead, come on" is the word
the railroad man gave, Mr.. Moroney
says, before he threw the lever onto low
speed and started the automobile ahead.
As it was fairly on the track, the rear
car OF the train crashed into it.
That the engineer mistook the brake
mans motion to Mr.. Moroney as signal
for him to back his train, is one expana-
tion of the accident.
