Mrs. George E. Reed, wife of a
commission merchant in South Mil
ford, was injured last week when she
was hit by an automobile driven by
Martie Fox, colored, of Slaughter
Neck. Persons who witnessed the ac-
cident state that Mrs. Reed ran di-
rectly in front of the car, and do not
blame the colored man for the occur
renee. 1t was while Fox was turning
into East Front street from Walnut
street that the mishap happened. Mrs.
Reed was picked up Immediately by
the occupants of the car, and taken to
the Milford Emergency Hospital
where it was found that her collar
bone was broken and that she was
otherwise shocked.
While going to Milford shortly after
dark recently, Mrs, Parker, who re-
sides near Shawnee, was slightly in
jured and her carriage demolished
when an automobile ran into the We
hicle. The accident occurred near the
new laboratory building of the L. D.
Caulk company. The carriage was
not equipped with lamps and for that
reason the owner will not be able to
collect damages from the driver of the
automobile, even should it be proven
that he was responsible for the acci-
dent. The State law in respect to
lights on all vehicles is very specific,
and in cases where damage results
from collision or otherwise team not
equipped with lamps cannot collect
damages in the State of Delaware.

Chicago, June 6.-Wheat avera ge5 lower in price today. chiefly owing fo depression of foreign exchange. The close was unsettled at 1-2c net de- cline to 1c advance with July S1 30 +o S1.3o If and September S1.16 1-2 +o Sl.l6 S-4. Corn gained Is to 1-2c: oats lost 1-4 to 3S, and provisions finished unchanged to BOG lower.
 Unsettling effects of the break in for elgn exchange rates was apparen throughout the day in the wheat mar ket, although rallies took place shortly after the opening and just before the close. The first upturn was due to lib- eral buying on the part of a big firm that was In receipt of bullish crop ad- wees from Nebraska. Crop reports from Kansas and Oklahoma however, were oearish, and the market turned down ward again, influenced by assertions that foreigners were trying to resell, and that fresh export business was very slow. On the other hand, word became cur rent near the end of the session that 500 900 bushels had been sold for ship mont to Europe. 9ois news led to something of a bulge in the last fifteen minutes, but failed to wipe out entire ly the nervousness due to the furry in exchange. Decrease of the visible SUD- ply to less than s,ooo,oOO bushels at- tracted but little notice Spreaders sold July and bought September.
 Despite b1g receipts corn was firm as a result of smallness of rural offering cs Favorable crop reports eased in the oats market

During the bout there were few hard Dor telling blows struck and Leonard had nearly all of these to his credit It was krather a clever exhibition of boxing than hGhs vicious fight that was expected when nhese two met. Kansas was inclined to kbe the aggressor most of the time, but lthfs was counterbalanced by the cham kpton's eleverness in sidestepping his op- Iponent's rushes and outpointing him in Ia great many of the exchanges.
 The Buffalo boys pest round was the ifourth in which he had the upper hand mainly through his aggressive tactics. The sixth round was 1aIne and about evenly divided.
 In all of the other rounds Leonard had the advantage. The champions best round was the eighth in which he land ed a right hook to the head, left to the face and a smashing right uppercut 1T quick order In the eleventh two left hand smashes in the face drew blood from the Buffalo mans mouth.
