with regard to the competition for the

personal bias or local prejudices. Il was
decided that Professor A. d. r. Hamlin.
professor Of architecture Of Columbia
College. should draw a program of
competition for the new building.
In Professor Hamlin the committee
felt that they had secured the services
OF probably the best expert in America
for this kind Of competition. In ad-
clifton to his specific knowledge of
architecture, Professor Hamlin poses
ses a special knowledge OF the needs Of
the Y. NJ. c. A., due to the fact that
he is the chairman of the committee on
education Of the New York Y. NJ c. A.,
and is in close touch with the needs
and necessities Of the organization.
Four Architects Invited

Professor Hamlin has invited the fol-
lowing architects to enter a limited

experience in Y. NJ. c. A. buildings than

Special to Times-Republican.
Hampton, Oct. 12.---J. d. Pomroy,
who has been working for William G.
Beed for the past two years, hauling
grain and -four to and from town to
the Beed mill, which is about three
miles from town, was seriously in
jured. He was busily engaged in clean
ing up around the moving machinery.
when the sleeve of his blouse was
caught in the cogs Of a rapidly NOV
ing wheel, and like lightning his left
forearm was drawn between the
crushing wheels in such a way that
the flesh, muscles and outer bone were
crushed and ground to a pulpy mass.
Pomeroy was alone in the mill at
the time, and had to depend upon him
self. Reaching out with his foot he
succeeded in throwing off the belt and
stopping the machinery that was slow
ly but surely gringing off his arm. 1t
was at this point that the man showed
his grit. Attic the wheels were quiet
he could not free his arm. and taking
his watch from his pocket with his
right arm he counted the minutes
fifteen of them-until Mr.. c. e. Halter
came and released him. The sufferer
was conveyed to DIR. Powers hospital,
where the injured member was am
,putated.
