Holyoke. Mass, July 2S - (UP)
 Two persons were killed and IS were injured early today when q Haverhill-to-Springheld bus crashed into q sedan on the North ampton road. plunged down 6 1O0- foot embankment and over a five foot ledge, and stopped within 10 feet of the Connecticut River. The dead were both passengers In the sedon, Robert Buddy Finn of Northampton. who was killed in- tsantly. and Miss Myrtle Casey of Amherst, who died at a hospital soon afterward. Of the IS taken to hospitals. all but five were held for treatment.
 The accident occurred, police said, when the bus driver attempt

 After careening crazily down the embankment, the bus tore up 50 feet of the southbound track of the Boston and Maine Railroad, and the Montrealer, bound from Washington to Montreal, was de- layed several hours until officials assured themselves that the north bound track was safe.

WOOL MARKET

Boston, July 28.-(UP)-Wool prices remained firm in the Boston market today, but buyers tended to favor the lower side of the price range. Only Q small volume or business was being transacted.
 Territory wools continued rela- lively scarce. Three-eighth blood territory wools were quoted at 70- 72 cents a pound clean basis; half- b1oods at 75-77; quarterbloods' at 64-65; and fully graded fine wools as high as 80 cents, though 1t was doubted any but choicest lots brought this figure.
 ohio and similar fine delaine wools sold at 31-32 cents a pound in the grease; three-eighth and quarterbloods at 35-36; and half- bloods at 32-33. Texas choice secured warp wools were quoted at 78-80 cents, and fine twelves month wools at 74-76.
 The U. s. agriculture department said: Demand for wools Is cons siderably slower than a week agos Prices are fairly firm on grades below 64s in territory lines. Maxi mum prices in recent ranges on GAS and finer territory woolss however, are not readily obtains able. Average French combing 64a and finer territory wools in ortg- inal bags are moving occasionally in moderate quantities at 73-76 cents, secured basis, with the bulk of the sales inclined to the low side of the range"

ROOSEVELT PLANS DOLLAR
 STERILIZATION WITHOUT
 DEvALUATION OF ANY KIND

Washington. July 28 Z That President Roosevelt plans to stab ihze the dollar before long,, and without devaluation of any kind. is asserted today by William l.. Chen cry, editor of Golfers Weekly, in a discussion of the presidents past attitude and future plans.
 Ut was highly intelligent for President Roosevelt to refuse to agree to stabilization at the very beginning of the economic confer ence," says MT Chcnery. More pressing even than the neod of stable money is the rise in prices. Premature stabilization of the dol lar might have stopped the up ward movement of prices. This had to be avoided.
 "Yet even though delay was ne- cessary and desirable, the goal to- ward which we are moving is per- fcctly clear and definite. It Is safe to predict that both the gold and the silver standards will be reestab- lished, and the currencies of all countries will be measured In grains of gold and silver.
 "Those who, like Senator Thom- as of Oklahoma. expect 6 drastic of the dollar are likely to be disappointed. Economic forces will not devalue the dollar. If our government follows the hitherto universal practice and stabilizes the dollar at the rating it naturally finds in international exchange, the number of grains of gold won't be fewer. There Is no reasonable cause for alarm.
 Before long the dollar must be stabilized. The dollar Is merely a measure, like the foot rule or the quart cup, or the ounce weight. In hcanging times, units of measure have to be changed. But for per- mancnt use we prefer to make our measuring rods of material less elastic than rubber. We want to be able to trust our money. The old rule of let the buyer beware is discredited.
 "The point at which the dollar Is stabilized Is only partially in the ocntrol of our government or any President Roosevelt

 Prices fiuctuated as aimlessIy as the session was dull. Traders were unwilling to risk market news de- velopments over the two-day shut down and bulls and hears alike rec trained from making commitments. An irregularly lower opening was followed by narrow swings through out the three hours of trading.
 Today marks the last of the shortened sessions. F'ive-hour ses- sions at the usual hours--10 a. m. to D. m.-wili be- resumed Mon- day, but the exchange introduced an innovation for Saturdays, order ing holidays until September 9. Re- storation of the full-time trading hours tended to improve sentiment since 1t indicated passing of the crisis which reached peak week ago today in session approach ing 100000 shares.
 A majority of shares declined and losses extended to points. Hardest hit were the speculative issues or stocks where special news yves released. Farm equipments reacted sharply with wheat.

Gold mining issues were still under the influence of the governments anti-gold ship ment edict issues yesterday. Rela- lively large losses were noted in Celanese. Goodyear. General Elec- tric, and Auburn Auto. American Can was down points late in the day.
 Corporation reports were unsat- isfactory in several instances. Beth lehem's statement, issued after the close yesterday showed a net loss for the second querter of $3,312,- 846, against a net loss of $4,671,- 266 in the June, 1892, quarter.
 Westinghouse Electric had a net less of $2.078.424 in the June quar- ter. against a net loss of $1,881,- 979, in the June, 1882, quarter. Phillips Petroleum's June first half net loss was $5.324.588. against a ret loss of $s12,491 in the first half Of 1892.
 There were favorable reports also, and one of them was that of U. 5. Industrial Alcohol which in the first half earned 80 cents a share. against cents in the cor responding period of last year.
 Railroads continued to register increases in revenues, and 1t was estimated that number of the carriers would cover their fixed charges the month of June.

 After Dr. Boos had completed his direct testimony Superior Judge Frederick W. Fosdic ordered a re- cess until 2:45 p. m. to allow time for defense counsel to confer with the defense medical experts.

 "What is your full name, doc tor?" Gregg asked.
 "Dr William F. Boos," replied the witness with Harvard &C., 'Boce' and not "Boos'."
 What in your opinion caused Captain Costellos death?'' asked Gregg.
 "The death of William J. Cos tc1lO in my opinion was caused by hydrocyanic acid, or what is also known as prussic acid"
 Dr Boos explained that when cyanide of potassium enters the body it gives off hydrocyanic acid gas, and it is that which actually causes death.
 Tn cross examining Dr Rooney the defense had tried to show that the amount of cyanide found in Costello's brain, liver. and kidney tissues was perhaps too small to have caused death, but Dr Boos testified,
 If cyanide of potassium Is found In a human body at all It means that the person died of potassium cyanide. The average fatal dose of hydrocyanic acid Is one gram and of potassium cyanide the av- craze fatal does is 2.4 grams. It is the most rapid poison we know"
 From black rubber test tube in his pocket Dr Boos extracted pill-shaped crystal of potassium cyanide, about the size of q dime. which he explained was slightly larger than than the average fatal dose. He handed the poison to the prosecutor. Gregg hesitated, but Dr Boos said. rcassuringly. "Oh. It's perfectly safe" Laughter from the audience brought Judge Fosdick to his feet. |Baying:

TWO STRIKES IN

But WilIimantic Mills Will Remain Closed Until the Silk Code Has Been Adopted

Hartford. Conn.,. July 2s--(UP) The labor situation in Connecti- cut, where several strikes have been called in the last ten days. was considerably improved today with the exception of the Willi- mantle silk mills. where more than 800 employees are out. The mills have been closed down and the owners probably will not reopen negotiations with strikers until the rayon silk industry code has been formulated at Washington.
 The strikes of 110 weavers at the Assawaga Woolen Mills, st Dayville, was settled last night. Jo- seph Tone and William J. Fitzger- aid, labor commissioners who act- ed as mediators. reported. The mills, which have been closed, are to be reopened Monday on a 40- hour a week basis. At the Wyan- dotte Worsted company's mill at Yantic the 24 spinners who struck for higher wages agreed yesterday afternoon to return to work and await announcement of the woolen industry's code before seeking pay adjustments.

DUTCH COMPANY
 SEEK BRITISH 7 TREASURE SHIP
Sunk in North Sea While Carrying $6,O00,O0O in
 Gold IngOts
BY LAMAR MIDDLETON (United Press Stan COrrcsDOndent)

Paris. (UP)-Forthcoming ef- forts by a Dutch syndicate to raise the British flagship La Lutine," entombed 134 years in North Sea shadows off the island of Ter Schelling. have revived French in terests in it's treasure, reputably S6.000,0O0 in gold ingots.
 Tn 1887 the French made a fu- tile and costly attempt to raise the sand-burled ship, and in that ab- ortive venture $z,000,000 in small savings of thousands of Frenchmen were lost. Subsequently British and Germans struggled valiantly over the ships tomb. lured by the gold sealed in her bulkheads.
 Sunk in 1788
 It was in october. 1739, when the flagship was carrying f1.200.- 900 from the Bank of England to failing Hamburg banks. that La Lutine" went down in memor- able storm. Only one of the crew was washed ashore alive.
 For five decades the topmasts of inc frigate were visible at low tide thus marking her grave. But when the French and later the British sought to raise the treasure, tedi- ous dragging operations in heavy seas were required to locate the wreck.
 The costs of the Dutch expcdi- ton have been defrayed by popular subscription, as were the French . and German efforts; the British attempt, on the other hand, was undertaken by the navy. Technlc- ally, the Dutch project revolves around an immense submerslble steel cone. 60 feet in diameter at the base. an invention by Dr Beckers, and constructed with : great secrecy at Amsterdam.
 Huge Cone
 The plan in general provides foi Che lowering of this cone immedi- Ately over or beside the wreck which already has been located bS magnetic means. The cone wil contain a number of divers. cleo. tric drills. searchlights, and othei underwater apparatus. An outlet similar in principle to the escape. . chambers with which modern sub marines are equipped, will permi divers to leave and enter at will.
 If divers determine that buoy cables cannot be swung under thu frfgate to raise her to the surface they will strive to blast away thu shifting sands to the treasure.

Hartman, who has been under ob- servation at Bellevue hospital since his second disappearance recently, gazcd vacantly as his daughter spoke.
 "In 1891 his pains became in- tense and he drank more," she said. By 1892 he was unable to concentrate. He would read things in newspapers and discuss them in a way showing he did not under stand what he had read.
 After his second escape he seemed to be in a trance. We put him to bed and looked after him as if he had suddenly become an little boy entirely unable to think for himself"

has the authority to reduce the gold content of the dollar by not more than half. Historically, when the value of money has been re- duced, economic forces rather than arbitrary decision of government have compelled the change. France, Italy and Belgium reduced the weight of gold in the franc and the lira. In each case. how ever, the new valuation was made first In international trade and af- terward stabilized by governmental action.
