WORK OF THE SPOKE TRUST.
Valuable Machines Smashed Because
They We're Not Needed.


CHICOPEE. Mass April 30.-A repre-
sentative OF the American Spoke and Nip
pie Company, of TorTingten Conn. has
been in Chicopee Falls for several DAYS
disposing Of the spolSe-making machinery
which has been used in the Lamb division
of the American Bicycle Company for
some years The company has recently
made q contract to furnish all the spokes
for the wheels made by the American Bi-
cycle Company, and the machinery at the
Chicopee Fails factory was bought by
the company.
The representative was busy the last
three days Of last week smashing up the
machinery as it was removed from the
building, and many thousand dollars
worth of property was converted into
junk with a sIedge hammer, the metal
going to dealer at junk prices Two
large rooms were stripped and the ma
chinery carted away in a comparatively
worthless condition The machines which
We're destroyed were the invention or Z.
Z. Hinsman, recently superintendent of
the Lamb division, and were patented by
him. The machines did excellent work,
and some We're alone valued at 81 co.
while the entire amount must have ag-
sregated from $25,900 to $50, 600
The machinery was not considered val
liable enough by the Spoke Trust to re-
move it to any other factory, and, TO
avoid the possibility that it might come
into the hands of an independent concern.
1t was reduced to junk This is the sixth
factory that the same representative has
stripped Of its machinery in the same way
since last September. He said that the
trust already had more than enough ma
chinery TO supply the trade with spokes
and it had no use for more

but now the distribution is expected to
be made the latter part of the current
month. The estate comes from the pa
teTnai side of the ancestry and was &C
cUmulateG in manufacturing in Mann

from the family name after coming to
the United States. The progenitor's
