Proceedings Dismissed by District At
torney Pelletier on Agreement
of Counsel.

BOSTON, Nov. 5.-By agreement of

missed today by District Attorney j.
c. Pelletier.
Probable cause had been found

commission and promised, if appointed
to call off strike then in progress in
the manufacturing plant of which Foss
is treasurer
At the close of the trial in the mu
nicipal court Judge Parmenter declined

Notify I'll. G. Barber of In
tentiOn to Take Some
of His Land
ARCHITECT COMES
TO CONSULT OWNER
Mr.. Barber Thinks Town Has Had Am
pie Time to Do Something and In
tends to Push Plans for Building as
Fast as Possible

H. c. Robbins of Boston, a member
of the firm of architects of Densmore 81
LeCIear which designed several new
buildings constructed recently in Mont
pelier as we'll as in other cities in this
section. was here yesterday afternoon
in consultation with Attorney General
Herbert G. Barber regarding plans for
his proposed building on the site of the
| burned Ray and Judge buildings. Mr..
Robbins was accompanied By Mr.. Clark,
| chief draughtsman of the firm.
This visit of Mr.. Robbins bears out
the published statement in The Refor
mer a few days ago that Mr.. Barber
plans to begin at once the erection of
a new building.
| A. w. J. Wilkins and A f. Merrill
of the board of selectmen were asked
this morning whether anything had
been done with regard to the town
taking some of Mr.. Barber's land for
the purpose of widening and straighten-
ing Main street. They replied that the
Imatter was being given careful consider
alton by the board and that preliminary
steps had been taken. They said that
nothing. so far as the board Of selectmen
was concerned, was ready for publica-
tion.
Mr. Barber, commenting on the visit
of Mr.. Robbins. mentioned that he had
received a letter from the selectmen in
(which they notified him that they were
lplanning and expecting to take some of
: his Main street property. He said that
he had replied to that letter to the eff
feet that what they planned and eX,
pected to do did not effect his land and
: that until they took the land legally he
| should consider it his property and con
duet himself accordingly
? Three types of building construction
are available and no decision has beer
made as to which he will elect to use
, 1t NAV be first class mill construction
s reinforced concrete, or steel construc
. tion fireproofed by tile, brick or con
= crete.
Mr.. Barber said this morning that h
: feels that there has been ample tim'
7 for the town authorities to have ac
. complished what they may have II
f mind in the matter of taking some O
his land for highway purposes. He say
he cannot afford to permit the prop
erty to remain idle and that he IN
tends to push along the preparations TO
the building.

MUSICAL PROGRAM
OF GREAT PLEASURE
Organist and Boy Soloist Give Delight
full Entertainment to Good Mum
ber in Baptist Church.

A musical program that afforded ex
ceeding pleasure was rendered in the
First Baptist church last evening by
Claude e. Saunier, organist Of the
First Universalist church in Cam
bridge, Mass, and Master Clarence
Fowler, boy soloist of St. Paul s Epis-
copal church in Brookline, Mass. These
two artists of exceptional ability
created much enthusiasm on the part
of the good sized audience present.
Mr.. Saunier, who recently demon
strated the big Ford organ before it
left the Estey Organ Co. s plant for
Henry Ford s home in Michigan, gave
masterful renditions of numerous
standard compositions, revealing both
interpretive and executive genius, re
appearing in response to an encore af-
ter each number. He played wholly
from memory, and after the concert
almost the whole audience remained
an hour and was generously entertain
ed by him. Different persons request
ed different pieces, and Mr.. Saunie1
! played every piece desired with nc
printed text before him, showing won
| derful versatility, and judging from
his congenial manner it gave hin
much satisfaction to satisfy the de
mands of his hearers.
Much interest centered in Master
Fowler, as many of the audience neve,
had heard a boy soloist. The lad
manner indicated that he was every
inch boy and the audience was sim
ply delighted with him. He possesses
a voice of pronounced sweetness an,
purity and of wide range, and h,
sang both oratorio and secular selec
tions in thoroughly musicianly way
He was encored twice after one o
his numbers.

Christian Endeavor society for equip
ping the chapel with electric lights.

night near East Putney, determined
the fact that neither of them was as
seriously injured as first reports from
the Rockingham hospital in Bellows
Falls Indicated.
They We're brought to Brattleboro
yesterday afternoon on motor trucks.
DR., A. l. Miller was called to attend
Mr.. Barber. He found numerous con
tusions and cuts and that both legs were
numb from his Dodge car pinning him
down. DR.. Miller does not consider that
there will be any serious effects for his
patient
DIR. George R. Anderson, who has
charge of Mr.. Leitzinger, said last night
that he was satisfied that there was no
fracture of one shoulder as earlier ex-
amnatiOns seemed to indicate. An X-ray
photograph to be taken viii determine
finally the exact extent of the injury

Leitnnger has a scalp wound and is
