 the cause of the accident Is being made.
 As near as can be learned from Oppenheim, he was unable to find a seat in the smoking compartment ot the Pullman in which he was riding. and desiring to smoke before retiring went to the car platform. The cus- tom on all trains is to keep the ves- tibu1es closed and when they are closed, a platform lowers to give floor space between the car steps and the vestibule door. Oppenheim believed that the vestibule would be closed and the platform down and in the dark ness did not observe that this was not the case and made the misstep which may cost his life.
 C,ppenheim regained consciousness at noon today and his story which dumb founded the hospital authori- ties was told as well as his condition would permit. While resting comfort ably. his condition Is still dangerous and it is impossible to say whether or not he will live.
 The man who was entered also on police records as having fallen from a train on which he was stealing a ride, was on his way to the White Mountains to join his wife who is spending 2 vacation there. He was passenger on one of the New Haven's fast express trains passing through WestpOrft about II o'clock last night and in going from one Pullman car to a n opening in the platform. In this a nopening in the platform. In this perllous position he was dragged a1- most quarter of a mile, helpless. with death under the roaring train wheels his only prospect, when he finally became 1oosed and was thrown oif to the side of the tracks as the train sped on at a mile minute rate.

BUICK PRICES ARE FIXED
FOR ENTIRE YEAR 1919
-Four Models Reduced in Price-An,
nouncement Made Early.

An interview with II. X. Kugler
local Buick distributor, makes GER
tain that the purchaser Of a Buick
car between now and the end OF
the 1919 season Is not running any
chance that the price will be subject
to further change during that period
II have just received letter from
the Home Office" said Mr. Kugler,
containing the revised price sche-
dule effective January I, 1919, Gov
ering the various Buick models dur
ing the remainder of the season.
-Four models have been reduced In
price and the other two remain un-
| touched.
There has been considerable spec
ulation as to what the Buick Motor
Company was going to do about the
prices of their cars, as the close OF
the war left things in such an un-
certain condition regarding the price
and quantities of raw material avail
able that good many people felt it
would be impossible for the really
big manufacturers to find their bear
ings for some time to come.
This prompt action on the part
of the Company shows that they
have been able to clear the situation
up sooner than anybody expected,
and / for one am delighted with the
announcement so early in the sea-
son.
Their war orders which have
been demanding the major part of
their energies have been completed
and the announcement of the present
prices is evidence that the Buick
Motor Company now has a measure
of the situation and sufficient mater
ial is in sight that viii permit laying
out a definite building schedule
which again proves the buyer of a
Buick automobile is Mt all times pro-
teeted against unwarranted price
changes.
"Orders for Buick cars are piling
up on us very fast and feel reason
ably sure that we shall be able to
take care of the greater part Of them
within reasonable time. We shall
continue to follow our old policy of
filing orders, and win make every
effort to see that no favoritism is
shown our waiting list, which plan
has worked out so admirably in the
past.
Buick enthusiasts appreciate the
Importance of this announcement, be
cause all uncertainty has now been
removed, both as to the possibility of
getting Buick cars this year and the
possibility of the prices being raised
OF lowered"
