PRISON TRUSTY KILLED
 IN AUTOMOBILE CRASH
Five Other Conyicts and Prison Guard Hurt When Truck Plunges
 Down Mountain

Piattsburgh N. r.. July 10.--One "trusty" was killed, five other convicts injured, none seriously, and Danne- mora prison guard was knocked un- conscious when a motor truck in which they were returning from the prison farm yesterday became uncon- trollable on Dannemora Mountain and crashed-jnto an embankment at the foot of the road.
 The dead man was Wallace Du- charm, convicted of criminal assault and sentenced from Gouverneur, St. Lawrence County.
 The men were returning with the days milk supply from the prison farm on Dannemora mountain. Ray mond A.. Fitzgerald of Saratoga Springs, prisoner chauffeur, said the truck had started down the hill when the brakes refused to work. He told the passengers to jump, he said, but they remained aboard.
 As the truck gathered speed, the steering geer also refused to function, and the truck swerved at the foot of the hill and crashed into an embank- ment.
 Physicians from the prison ordered the injured men removed to the hospi- tai.
 State prison department officials are expected from Albany to investigated the accident.

WALL STREET STOCK
 EXCHANGE REPORTS

Wall Street, 10:30 A, M,-Opening prices in todays stock market were irregular. The government report of bumper crops was enumerated by cable reports of the Franco British situation. Steels, coppers and motors were among the first to yield to sell ing pressure. Youngstown Steel and Tube and Royal Dutch each advanced point and some of the dividend paying rails advanced fractionally.
 A flood of selling orders came into the market and the list turned reac- tionary with selling pressure most ef- fective in the oils, chemicals, motors and equipments. Losses of 1 to 2h points were registered by Cosden, Pro- ducers and Refners, Pan-American B, Baldwin and American locomotives, General Electric, Studebaker, Chand- Ter, American Can, Corn Products. American Sugar and several others. Unfavorabe political developments abroad undoubtedly were the most de- pressing influence on prices during the morning. Further reductions in | lead, sugar and Pennsylvania crude oil prices and a continuance of high call money rates also tended to re- strick buying. Motors were sold freely on further confirmation of reports that the peak for production and sales had been passed for this year. Around mid day the list steadied somewhat when Delaware and Hudson was pushed up to 103A against Saturdays low of 93 IA in further reflection of official assurances that no change in the $9 dividend rate was contemplat- ed. Call money opened at 5h per cent.
 Wall Street, 1880 P. M.-Absence of inquiry from outside sources con- tinued to be one of the causes of the softness of the market prices again tending downward in the early after noon. U. S. Steel declined to 90 5-S on the large reduction in thrilled ton- mage. Marine Pfd. and Burns Bros | A, registered new minimum figures for the year the latter yielding over 8 | points.

NO AUTO CAMP SITE
 | ON>CARLTON ST.
Chamber of Commerce Bows to Opposition of Residents

Although the board of public works was requested by the Chamber of Commerce to grade Carlton street to the proposed site of the automo- bile tourists camp, and the water board was asked to run a 500 foot extension of the water line, there seems strong propability today that | If New Britain ever has an auto camp site it will not be located on Carlton street.
 Curtis L. Sheldon, chairman of the committee of Chamber of Commerce directors, who has been working on this proposition for some time, said this morning that in view of opposi- ton in that section the Carlton street site would go by default so far as he was concerned.
 MT. Sheldon spoke of the advantage the camp site would be to the city but said 1t was not the function of the Chamber of Commerce to en- deavor to force upon people what they did not want and as long as there was sentiment opposed to 1t, he thought it better to let it drop so far as Carlton street is concerned. Miss Mary E. Curtin. secretary, expressed the opinion that another site would be recommended next win ter Tt would bring a lot more business to the city, attract more trade here, advertise the city in the automobile blue book and benefit us in many ways" said Miss Curtin.
 The Carlton street site was decid- ed upon by the chamber directors at q meeting held on the grounds at which Mayor A. M. Paonessa was present. It was decided later to ask the board of public works to grade the street and to apply to the water board for an extension of 500 feet on the present water line.
 The board of public works has taken steps to have that street adopt eo as a public street and the matter is before the board of compensation now It will make no difference in the boards plans, according to City Engineer J. D. Williams. whether the camp is located there or not, since the street was in line for considera- ton and the present status is more or less matter of routine.
 No extension to the water line was built by the water board but arrange nents were made so that a faucet could be put on the end of the line tt the end of the street, rather than to run the line into the proposed camp site.

HIPPO MEETS HIS MATCH
$5OO0 Monster Eats Tennis Ball With
 Cincinnati, July 10.-The persons

 who threw the tennis ball into the cage of Zeekoe, gigantic hippopota- mus at the zoo caused the death of that animal, famous. as the largest in captivity in America.
 The tennis ball was found wedged in the huge beasts stomach, where, unable to pass further through the narrow opening, it formed an obstruc- ton, which resulted in Zeekoe's death after four days of suffering
 The animal, which weighed about two tons and a half, was valued at s5,00O, but was considered as being worth many times that sum as an at traction at the zoo. zeekoe's life was impaired on a previous occasion by some thoughtless visitor permitting him to swallow a woman's mesh handbag.
 In addition to the tennis ball number of pennies also were revealed in the stomach.
