Greenfield Tap & Die Co. Calls Meeting
of Its Common Stockholders to
Consider Purchase.
Especial to The Reformer.
- - l. IN fI1ILNI NTl

iTRfEN FIELD, Mass, March
There Is strong possibility that the
town of Hinsdale, y. H., may lose the
Nutter < Barnes Co, makers of maehin-
cry for cutting off various kinds of met
ais, who established their business there
four years ago in the Robertson build
ing. The concern employs 40 to 50 hands
at present and is one of the towns inn
portant industries
The possibility of the firm being alb
soTbed by the Greenfield Mass Tap &
Die corporation and moving to Greenfield
has been under consideration for some
time. Notices have now been sent to the
common stockholders of the Greenfield
concern calling a meeting to authorize
the purchase of the +. f. Wells * Son
Co, which owns three factories on Rid
dell street in Greenfield and one in Turn
ers Falls, also TO purchase the business
of the Nutter & Barnes Co. of Hinsdale.
This would mean that within the next
few months the Nutter K Barnes Co.
would be moved to Greenfield.
The Greenfield Tap & Die corporation
is contemplating building an Office build
ing on the corner of North and Sanderson
streets, l5j y l7.l feet, with IA central
shipping room for all the factories on the
first floor, and general offices on the see
ond floor
When these arrangements are complet
ed the company will employ total OF
more than 100 persons. The entire con
Germ viii be composed OF six units in
Greenfield and one at Turner's Falls. The

TODAY'S WAR SUMMARY

Intense aerial activity prevailing on
anco-Belgian front indicates the
probability of important developments
there in the near future The entente
aviators are taking extra hazardous
risks III their search for information
of hostile movements and disposition.
This is evidenced by Berlin s report Of
Is entente airplanes shot down in air
engagements on Sunday and 10 SINH
larly destroyed yesterday. The aerial
scouting interrupted By Monday storm
was apparently in full swing again on
Tuesday with the clearing of the
weather.
In the realm of infantry activity, the
British while continuing to pick up
trenches abandoned by the Germans in
their sustained retrograde movements
along the Ancre, have contented them
selves with raiding operations north Of
Pcronne on the Somme front after hay
ing effected gain along front of
nearly three quarters Of a mile there
in recent attack.
In the Ncrdun region the French and
the Germans are continuing to dispute
ground north Of Caurieres wood, where
the Crown Prince 5 troops effected a
considerable gain early this week, only
to lose the greater portion of it, as
the French counter attacked, accord
ing to Paris. The French made another
attempt last night to regain lost
ground, bet Berlin reports repulse
for them.
On the Russian front Berlin reports
a lessening in the severity of the cold
with some increase in artillery activi-
ties, but no important movement by
the infantry arm.

THOMAS JEWETT KILLED.
Montgomery Man Struck by Train at a
Grade Crossing.

MONTGOMERY, March 7. - Thorn
as Jewett was killed Monday evening
by the Central Vermont train just be-
yond the Nutting bridge in the edge of
Berkshire.
Mr.. Jewett was going toward Berk-
shire with a team and in the pung were
four bags of grain. Evidently the man
had fallen asleep for when the horse
went to cross the railroad instead of
following the road, he followed the
track over the bridge and as the train
came along the engineer saw the team,
but too late to avoid the accident, it be-
ing a very stormy night.
The horse SHE'D from the engine, but
the man was hit about the head and
killed instantly. The train was stopped
and the body was taken to Richford to
the undertaking rooms of Powell &
Comings
The body was not mutilated nor any
bones broken, but there were marks on
the head showing that he was hit in
such way as to cause instant death.

HOPE TO SETTLE
IRISH PROBLEM
Plan to Confer the Free In
stitution Long Promised
to the Country
RESOLUTION IN
PARLIAMENT TODAY
Prospect That Premier Lloyd George
Will Take Part in the Debate and
Toward a Change.

LONDON, March = The prospect
that Premier Lloyd George would take
part in today's debate in the house Of
commons on the Irish question and out
line the government position toward Ire
land aroused deep interest in the pro
ceedings.
The debate hinges on a resolution
which will be moved by I. p. OConnor
ON behalf OF the Nationalists. The reso-
luton reads as follows:
THAT with a view to strengthening
the hands OF the allies in achieving rec
ogniton of equal rights for small nations
and the principle Of nationality against
the opposite German principle of mili-
, tary domination and government with
out the consent of the governed. it is es-
sential without further delay to confer
upon Ireland the free institution long
promised to her
| 1t is expected that an amendment re-
cording he desire of the house for set
tlement without coercion Of any section
of Irish opinion will be moved from the
government benches and adopted as the
official view
+ John Redmond, who has been i'll, hoped
TO be well enough to speak, and Sir John
Lonsdale was prepared to explain the
views of the Irish unionists.

DR.. BALDWIN HELD
ON FEDERAL CHARGE
Fair Haven Physician Under Arrest for
Alleged Violation of u. S.
Drug Act

RUTLAND, March DR. Edwin Y.
G. Baldwin of Fair Haven, a wellknown
physician and surgeon, who has been
practicing in the western part of the
county for many years, was arrested by
Deputy United States Marshal Edward
S. Whitaker yesterday and arraigned
before United States Commissioner
Thomas II. Browne on a federal indict-
ment charging an offense against the
Harrison law, known as the narcotic act.
Bail of $1,000 was furnished by William
II. Peikey of Fair Haven, a prominent
slate producer.
DR.. Baldwin was indicted at the recent
session of the United States federal
grand jury held in Burlington, together
with the Green Brothers of the same
town, both John Green and Michael
Green having appeared before the COM
missioner, entered pleas of not guilty
and furnished the required surety.
1t is understood that all parties con-
cerned in the Indictment will fight the
charge Attorney E. II. OBrien is coun-
sci for Green Brothers and Attorney
Philip N. NJ. Phelps and Leo Z. Pratt OF
Fair Haven appear for DIR. Baldwin.
The Indictment sets forth that on Jan
5, 1917, the doctor furnished 9 prescrip-
tion to a man by the name of Patrick
Leonard, address unknown to the grand
Jurors, calling for 275 grains of morphine
sulphate and that the physician knew
at the time that it was strictly against
the laws Of the country. 1t is claimed
that this prescription was filled at the
Green Brothers store.
4 second count in the Indictment
against the physician covers about the
same ground while third alleges sale
of 275 grains of the drug to William
Shaw of Poultney on Jan. IL, 1917, and
on Dee; 20, 1916, a prescription to Mr.
Shaw calling for $50 grains of morphine
sulphate.

BARBER PLANS TO
HAVE RESTAURANT
VIII Be Oh First Floor of New Build
ing-Workmen Now Setting Hol-
low Tile and Stone Facing.

Herbert G. Barber, who is erecting a
hreproof steel and concrete building at
the corner of Main and Flat streets,
to be five stories high on the Main
street hin and six stories on Flat
street, has definitely decided to devote
the first floor, facing Flat street, to
restaurant purposes. He will establish
restaurant first class in every way.
1t VIII be reached either from Flat
street or from the Main street entrance
by means of n stairway near the ele-
yator.
Work on the new building is pro-
crossing rapidly, and in a few days
the cement for the top floor will be
poured. After that the roof viii be put
on. The work of putting on the hollow
tile and stone facing for the lower
story is now being put in place, show
ing that the building will have a
handsome appearance.
Since the cement and steel rein
forced columns supporting the build
ings have been uncovered some people
have been skeptical as to whether the
columns were strong enough to sup
port the building. The owner and con-
tractors are not worrying over this
point, however, as the specifications
were made by competent New York
architect and call for a generous mum
Der of pillars. sufficient to bear five
times the weight of the finished build
ing.
Besides the restaurant and stores
there will be about 100 rooms suitable
for Offices. An open court back of the
elevator allows ample light for all the
rrI cA
fireproof and will be independent OF
the rest of the building The view
from the top of the building is magnif

Intent Of Voters Clear in Voting for Ap-

Not over p men were hanging around
in Festival hall yesterday afternoon
at 4.30 o'dock when Moderator A. F.

balloting at the town meeting. He an
nounced the license vote and then read
the list Of officers who had been balloted

only the name Of Warren t. Walker.
road commissioner, the past year.
1t was voted at the business meeting
to instruct the selectmen to appoint a
road commissioner who shall be "a com
petent engineer who has had wide expe-
rience in the building of roads The
Australian ballots had been printed in
advance, of course, with the name of Mr..
Walker on them as candidate for road
commissioner Some voted fer him be-
cause his name was on the ballot and
there were men yesterday afternoon who
amy votes he had been elected road com
missioner
Moderator Schwenk announced, after
reading the other names, that he had not
made any mention OF the road commits
sioner and there the matter ended Off
cially.
/ This matter appears to be covered
under the provisions of Act No. lis OF
the Laws of Vermont of 1912 which pro
vides in part:
a town shall. at each annual meeting
vote whether or not the selectmen shall
be empowered and authorized to appoint
one or two road commissioners, the mum
her to be determined by the town, and
an article enabling the town so to EN-
power and authorize the selectmen shall
be inserted III the warning for such meet
ing. Ii the town votes so TO authorize
and empower the selectmen, said select
men shall forthwith appoint one or two
road commissioners, according to the III
structions of the town *+***+ Said road
commissioners so appointed by the Sc
lectmen shall serve until the next annua
meeting and until their successors are
elected or appointed and qualified +*+*
The general opinion of the Brattlebort
lawyers is that there can be no question
but that the vote to have the selectlnel
appoint a road commissioner invalidateC
the subsequent voting for Mr.. Walker
The intent of the voters~was perfect,
apparent when it was voted to have
commissioner appointed, the vote on th
question being unanimous.

CAN KEEP BOAT LINES.
Commerce Commission Asks Southern
Pacific for Some Changes.

WASHINGTON, March THE in
ternational commerce commission in a
decision handed down yesterday, indi-
Gated that the Southern Pacific Co NAV
retain possession of its steamship lines
between New York and New Orleans
and New York and Galveston, if the
company correct within so days GER
tain Objectionable practices at present
in force
Under the Panama canal law, the
railroad company would have TO dis
pose Of its steamers. unless the com
mission found that railroad ownership
did not tend to reduce competition by
water and that such ownership was in
public interest.
The commission S decision finds that
the railroad s control of the steam
ship line did not tend to reduce compe-
tition in this instance but that there
is on the contrary active competition
for transeontinental freight between
the steamship lines and the railroad
lines of the Southern Pacific
