Victim of Accident.

ALEXANDRIA. Va, November A.
While helying to fight a fire at the
plant of the Old Dominion Glass Com
old. a glassblower employed at that
plant, fell into well about fifty
five feet deep and was instantly kill
ed. HIS skull was crushed. The acct
dent happened at o'clock this morn
| ing.
Ale, accompanied by Kemp Cocrell
had been helping with other employees
in fighting the fire all night long.
They were attracted by a blaze south
! Of the fire in the stockroom and
| thought another fire had broken out
at point near the old well. Both
proceeded there. only to find that some
boxes about the well. which had been
placed there for protection. were ablaze
They went directly UP to the we'll.
Gave Warning in Last Words.
Ale cried out. Look out"' and just
as he did the board covering the well
gave way and he went down.
Fifteen minutes afterward the body
was recovered from the well by Clar-
ence kitson. member of motor en-
CINE company No. l. Mr.. Kitson was
lowered into the we'll with a rope by
the firemen and tied the feet of the
dead man. After he had been hauled
up himself the body of Ale was pulled
out. DR.. Llewellyn Powell was sum
moned and pronounced life extinct.
Fire Damage, $4,000.
Damage estimated at $4,000 was
done by the fire. of undetermined ORR
gin. which destroyed the stockroom
at the plant Of the Dominion Glass
Company.
About 100000 drug bottles were
destroyed. The fire burned all night,
although some of the engines return
ed to their homes before midnight.
The blaze was discovered by MEM
bers Of the night shift on duty in the
factory, and the whistle at the
plant sounded an alarm at S:25
o'clock. The f1remen made a quick
response and experienced difficulty
when their hose broke as they en-
deavored to relay water a distance of
four squares from Fairfax street to
the plant. The water pressure from
the plug at the company's plant was
not adequate, it is reported.

URGES NATIONAL
GRAIN MARKET
HoOver's Plan to Stabilize Prices
Would Control All Boards
of Trade.

TOPEKA, Kan. Oct 15.-Control OF
boards of trade to prevent price specu-
lation in farm products was advocated
by Herbert Hoover, former United States
food administrator. in talk yesterday
at u conference he held with heads OF
Kansas farm organizations, bankers,
grain men and business men III the Of
fees of the state board of agriculture
here.
Mr.. Hoover, however, maintained that
boards of trade have as important a part
to maintain in the economic life OF the
nation as have banks and that the reg
ulation of these marts of trade should
be under legal regulations similar to
those applied to banks Manipulation
of prices had been eliminated, he said,
by limiting the volume of trade to the
amounts of grain available and to the
respective needs of the purchasers. s..
lie Endorsed the cooperative market
ing movement. He urged that all the
farm organizations of Kansas now ad-
v0cating or operating cooperative mar
keting plans. pool their interests to
make the scheme more general.
As the first constructive step toward
solving the market problem, he urged
that the government call a conference OF
farmers and marketing associations,
bankers and distributors. If a national
market could be established to compel
free, open trading on hedging contracts,
with prices for future delivery fixed for
six months to a year in advance, the eff
feet would be to stabilize prices, sub
iect only to worldwide conditions, he
said. The farmer then would have no
object in holding his grain for higher
prices, he said.
Mr.. Hoovers defense of the board of
trade did not include the wild specula-
ton.
The board performs a great public
service in that it reflects demands and

his Arabs. OF the two grade thorough
breds, Bunkie seems to have a slight
edge on his running mate, Mile Denise.
While the latter does not appear in any
way the worse for the fast race that she
has been forced to keep up, the renlount
horse is the stronger of the two and if
the race is forced into additional days
could probably stand it better.
The members of the state and local So
cieties for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals inspected the horses just outside
of Penacook just after noon. They found
all the horses in fine condition and came
to the stables last night to give them a
further examination. Mr.. Nelson, state
agent of the New Hampshire society, said
last night: THE horses are in excellent
shape and much of the agitation is I'M
founded"
J. G.. Derby, local member of the
New Hampshire Society for the Proven
ton of Cruelty to Animals, said: II have
never seen horses in such good condition
nor riders who could be more courteous.
The society has gained its end by forcing
the judges to have the horses continuing
in better shape than last year. This agi-
tation on the part of members of the So
ciety should not spread to hysteria."
The riders are feeling the strain more
than the horses. Yesterday morning r.

supplies for persons dealing on the mar
kets," said Mr.. Hoover. The criticism
is that men with larger and prior knowl-
edge are able to take advantage of sit
uations for their personal benefit.
We must find some method of regu-
lating this great institution. Probably
the best remedy would be to limit the
size of transactions so that no one per-.
son or group could corner the market
and manipulate prices"
He answered questions as to whether
the Spectator should be wiped out He
said he had an open mind on the subject.
American standards of high living are
now on the decline, the food authority
said With lower prices for food COM
modities there must be a decline in
wages, he said. 1T is all a question OF
re1atiyity. The farmer would be satis-
fed with 75-cent wheat if wages and
other elements which enter into his cost
of production We're on the same scale
On the sother hand, labor can afford to
work for less if the cost of living is re-
duced. The problem of defiation is to
obtain an industrial step-down on a
parity with agricultural reimbursement .
