Early Wednesday afternoon fire was discovered on the roof around the chim- ney of the farm house of Monett B.

SCHEME FAILURE
Cleaner Clearing House Association
Cannot Make Profit On Failing
Prices For Farm Commodities

DETROIT, May l3.-If Circuit Judge
Arthur Webster of Detroit on Jun >
grants the petition of the Cleaner
Clearing House association that it be
dissolved, the largest farmers co-opera-
tive buying and selling agency in Mich
Igan, and one of the most important of
It's kind in the United States, will pass
out of existence.
The association filed its petition for
dissolution April IL, declaring that al
though its assets were considerably
higher than its liabilities the present
prices of farm commodities were so low
and the future outlook so uncertain that
it believed it would quit business "in
fairness to creditors Total assets
were placed at S~7l9,O20.6l and liabili-
ties at S446, 1858. Charles r. Talbot,
Detroit banker, is acting as temporary
receiver for the organization.
The association, organized in March,
1907, became one of the most notable
organizations of its kind. numbering
among its membership a large percent
age of the farmers of Michigan. From
the outset the function of the associa-
ton was to purchase goods in large
quantities needed bv farmers and in
turn handle the products of the farm in
large volume.
The association maintained more than
a score OF grain elevators and ware
houses in different parts of the state.
The organization, according to its Off
cials. enjoyed a steadily growing bust
mess until the slump in the price of farm
commodities came after the war. The
association failed to show profits after
that time, it was explained.
Certain of the elevators owned by the
association still are in operation and
viii be continued until they can be sold.
The association at its inception was
capitalized at 100000 1t was re-capital-
lied at 81. 900, 900 in April. 1920.

guilty to the charge of larceny of $50

was continuance for sentence under $500

charge against the defendant was made
because he denied having the money be
longing to Mr.. Rourke in his possession
when the police made investigation.
1t was a most unusual case as the de
PENDANT came in possession of the money
to the temptation to keep it. Mr.. Rourke
said that Wyatt came to Franklin Park
a few days ago, where he has n number
of horses in training, and that he gave
him a job as the man wanted work.
Thursday Mr.. ROurke went to his Office
and placed a pocketbook in the pocket Of
trousers hanging there and by mistake
put the money in trousers belonging to
Wyatt. When this was later discovered
and Wyatt denied having the money the
police searched the defendants room in a

In the roll of n window curtain.
Finally Wyatt admitted having sent
$50 by mail to his wife in Springfield
and the balance he turned over to the

ploye temporarily working for E. NJ.
Herrick north Of Bellows Falls, was rid
ing his bicycle toward the Herrick place
after having been to the village of Bel
lows Falls. While going down a hill
above the Henry Weeden place, about a
mile from Bellows Falls on the Chester
road, MIR. Hall met his death, which the
plaintiff claims was due to being run
into by an automobile driven by the de-
PENDANT.
The accident happened during the
noon hour, N a short time afterward
William Hutchins, who was driving his
car in an opposite direction, came upon
Nh. Hall by the roadside. Mr.. Halls
skull was fractured very badly and he
was otherwise injured and was uncOn-
scfous and bleeding. E. G.. White of
Cavendish soon arrived, and Mr.. Hall
was taken in Mr.. Hutchins'S car to the
Rockingham hospital, where he died
soon after midnight.
Mr.. Hutchins testified that he met a
black car and later a yellow car before
he came upon Mr.. Hall. The yellow
car he identified as having been driven
by Mr.. Wales.
The defense put on two nurses from
the Rockingham hospital, one of whom
testified that Mr.. Han became conscious
and when asked if a light car struck him
repdIeu NO, ana Wnen asked II = DIdch
car hit him replied Yes" She said that
when asked if it was Mr.. Wales's car
that struck him he answered in the neg
alive. The other nurse said she asked
him if be knew Roe Wales and he an
swered also in the negative.
DIR. J.. $. Hill of Bellows Falls, who
attended Mr.. Hall. testified for the
plaintiff that in his opinion there was
40 time after the accident that Mr.. Hall
would have been able to max an intel
ligent statement or give an intelligent
answer to any question.
DIR. George II. Anderson of Brattle-
boro, in reply to a hypothetical question.
testified hat in view of the injuries as
shown by the autopsy by DR.. Whitney
cf Burlington it would nave been impos-
Sible for Mr.. Han TO have recovered
consciousness enough to have given an
intelligent answer to questions.
For the defense Dr. W. y. Bryant of
Ludlow and DIR. w. +. Hazelton of Bel
lows Falls testified that it would have
been possible for Mr.. Hall to have re
ceived the injuries which he did by fall
ing from his bicycle.
The plaintiff strongly attacked the tes-
timony of the hospital nurses.
