BELFAST
Death of Helen l. Moody-City
Schools Will Not Be Closed
Health Situation SLIGHTLY


Mrs. Helen I. Moody died yesterday at
the age Of Il years, having been falling
since she sustained paralytic shock
about two weeks ago. Mrs. Moody was
born in Surry. the daughter of Mr. and
Mrs Loring Young, and was the widow
Of James B. Moody. For many years
they made their home in Boston, Mrs.
Moody and her daughter, Miss Dora,
coming to Belfast about months ago,
where they have since remained. They
had rooms at los High street, where
Mrs. Moody's death occurred.
The milkmen, number Of them, una
BILE to get to the city with their horses,
were delivering milk on snowshocs
Thursday. Only to families where ba-
bies depended upon it was milk de,iv
cred at all by some of the dealers. The
country roads are impossible in many
directions. The first team across the
lower bridge after the storm was late
Friday, the second day, and then il
could get no farther. Down on Main
street in front of one of the stores is a
flight Of steps, six in number, cut into
the snow and frozen as hard as gran
lite. These steps lead to the middle OF
the street which is several feet higher
than the sidewalk. The dealers on one
side Of the street cannot see the show
windows of their competitors, only tho
signs over the doors and windows being
visible. People walking on the sidewalks
cannot be seen from the opposite side Of
the street and while those in the street
are three feet or more up in the air
Men who have lived in Belfast all their
lives say nothing like It was ever seen
in Main street before Dealers In
snowshoes have done a land office bust
ness and many who never walked on
them for sport now find them a neces-
sity.

Harry G. Gretz, the company's chief
accountant, was first taken in hand
by Peoples Counsel Goldsmith. who
submitted tabulations TO show that
everything might not be exactly as IL
ought to be. He stated that he pro-
posed to show that the company was
claiming 81 900. 900 OF valuation more
than II actually has and on which 1t
seeks to earn a return.
After Mr.. Goldsmith finished with
his cross-examination, Osborne /. Yel-

company's bookkeeping and wanted to
know whether the commission had
had all the figures checked to nnd out
whether they were correct. Chairman
Maloy suggested that Mr.. Yellott ex-
plain to Mr.. Clark how the company
kept its books. he having examined
them in the previous valuation case.
Mr.. Yellott replied that they were ac-
curately and correctly kept, that they
had to be kept properly as matter
OF self-preservation and that the COM
pany could gain no advantage by not
keeping them properly. He was will
ing to accept the company's books as
correct, he stated.

Dun,s Trade Review.

NEW YORK. March a.--Dun'S tomor-
row will say: Some OF the weeks de-
vclopncnis. the sharp recovery OF ster-
ling exchange ana the return OF the
railroads to private operation among
them, have influenced business scnti-
ment favorably, and the multiplying
evidences OF commodity price reaction
mark 4 more wholesome condition.
That prices In general are under a
greater measure OF restraint, a com
prehcnslve list of Wholesale quotations
has clearly demonstrated, and actually
yielding has appeared in some quar-
ters where buoyancy has long been the
outs banding feature. Such tendencies
as these. ii Disappointing to some in
tercsts. are only what might have been
expected 10 follow the great rise of
prices that occurred during the war
era and aftcrward, and not Il few buy
crs. quick to sense the change in some
markets, and believing that the price
reimbursement will carry further are
