Concrete proof that the automobile industry is to have a banner year in 1918, the war notwithstanding, is forthcoming in the departure from Akron, Ohio, of three trains of 206 car loads of tires from the Diamond Rub- Der company. These tires, worth over S4.50000 are for concerns who have faith in the future of the automobile trade industry. Large quantities were destined for New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, the south, the west and far west-in fact, practically every state in the union was represented in the ship ments.
 There is not the slightest reason, ? said H. M. Bacon, vice president and general sales manager of the Diamond Rubber company. why the automo- bile trade should fall below normal this year. Conditions in Canada sup port this contention. Automobile man. ufacture has had a remarkable in- crease there since the out break of the war and business has never seemed more stable. We also have the cheer ing news from the oil industry that there is no likelihood of a gasoline

VILLA BROUGHT IN
 HINDU CONSPIRACY
Republican A. p. Leased wire1

SAN FRANCISCO, March S.-Re- ported endeavors of Francisco Villa to divert for his own uses in Mexico, a cargo of arms and am- intuition intended supposedly for the Carranza government, were outlined from the witness stand today by J. Clyde Hizar, city attorney of Coro- nado, California, and one of the de- fendants in the governments case against 31 persons accused of con- spiracy to overthrow British rule in India.
 Villa offered s15,O0O to the con- signors of the cargo if they would keep it away from the Carranza followers, Hizar testified.
 The prosecution contended this cargo was to be shipped from San Diego, Cal, to India, to be used by the revolutionists, and that the Mexi- can angle was a subterfuge to cloak the real purpose of the shipment.
 Hizar received $19,000 from Marcus Martinez, San Diego customs broker, to handle the legal aspects of the shipment for the Carranza officials, he testified.

CARRIER PIGEONS GOOD SPIES

London.-Another clever plan of the allied intelligence system is revealed in a police order published in the Strassburger Post. Residents of LOT raine are informed that allied aviators are dropping pigeon baskets attached to parachutes. In these baskets carrier pigeons in a wire cage are found, also message forms and letter tubes to be attached to the birds, together with a request to the finder to send off the pigeon with information.

Basilio Barquin of Central Granite Co
Had Pneumonia.

Basilio Barquin, member of the Cen
tral Granite Co, and we'll known Barre
granite cutter, died at his home, rs Vine
street, Saturday night at 10 o'clock. He
had been i'll six days, an attack of the
grip having developed pneumonia during
the latter stages. He is survived by his
wife and three children, daughter, An
gelina, and two sons, Jose and Paulo,
Three brothers are joaquin and Ballan-
TIM Barquin of this city and Amelio Bar
quin Of st. Johnsbury. Two sisters live
in Spain, and third sister, Mrs. Peni, is
resident of this city
The deceased was born in Santander
Spain, 81 years ago. He came to Barre
around 10 years ago and for time fol-
lowed his trade as a granite cutter. In
late years he associated himself with a
well known group Of Barre granite men,
with the result that the Central Granite
Co. was organized. Mr. Barquin was an
active figure in the Spanish colony OF
this city and his untimely death has
caused much mourning.
Funeral services will be held in st
Monica's church Tuesday forenoon at 9

ley street.

CITY COUNCIL ACTS.
Takes Important Measures to Check the
Epidemic.

Desperate measures for a desperate
situation were advocated at a hastily
convened meeting of the city council at
city hall this afternoon. Mayor Glysson
presided and in addition to the alder
men present, the board Of health and
representatives of the Board of Trade
were in attendance. The council heartily
seconded the decision of the board Of
health to put strict quarantine on pub
lie gatherings. Strenuous efforts to OBJ
tain additional doctors and nurses are
to be made, and it is possible that a
temporary hospital to take care Of the
overflow Of patients viii be established
in hall or church, as it developed at
the meeting that there are dozens of
persons in need of immediate attention.
Systematic ministration to the suffering
is planned, but the first move will be
made in the direction of obtaining doc
tors and nurses in sufficient numbers to
cope with plague that is rapidly ex-
ceeding the bounds of any epidemic in
the history of Barre.

INFLUENZA
TOLL IS TEN
The Epidemic Is Raging in
Barre in Terrible
Force
PUBLIC GATHERINGS
ARE CALLED OFF
Board of Trade Takes Hand
in Appeal for Volun-
teer Nurses

Ten deaths constituted the toll taken
by grip and pneumonia in Barre through
the week end. In addition, tidings came
that three more Barre boys in the army
training camps have died Of the malady
that is sweeping the entire eastern part
Of the country. By all odds the present
epidemic is the most disastrous thing Of
its kind that has visited Barre i'm many
years. Official eoguizance Of the gravity
Of the situation is seen in the order from
the health department, issued this after
noon, in which all public gatherings are
banned for period Of a week or longer.
Moving picture establishments, the
churches, clubs, lodges and the schools
are included in the order, which also ap-
piles to entertainments of every kind.
The City hospital is crowded to the
roof with patients. Doctors, of whom
several are seriously i'll, are oyerworked
and far too few nurses are available for
the work in hand. Chronic inyalids and
others who retain nurses and attendants
have been asked to release them for
sterner service if it is possible, and
everywhere people are asked to make
sacrifices that the proper attention may
be given those who need it most Under
takers, between ambulance calls and
more serious missions, are having little
time for sleep. Through the week end
every ambulance in the city was on the
move almost constantly. Sunday local
pharmacists received request from the
health department that they remain open
throughout the remainder of the day in
order to serve those who seek prescrip-
tions.
To-day business of every description in
Barre was badly affected by the epidemic,
1t is estimated that more than 80 per
cent of the granite workers and those in
allied trades are detained at home by
illness. In any number of cases granite
manufacturers, upon noting the limited
number of men who appeared for work
this morning, gave orders for the suspen-
sion of operations until further notice.
Stores are open in most instances, al
though a number are closed because there
is no one able to wait on customers.
Nearly every retail establishment in the
business section finds its staff Of em-
ployes sadly depleted.
The decision to declare a strict quar-
antine on public gatherings was practi-
cally reached Saturday afternoon. The
first order carried with it the recommen-
dation that the Liberty loan mass meet
ing, scheduled for Sunday afternoon, be
postponed The loan committee quickly
acceded to the wishes Of the health au.
thorities. Saturday evening Supt. c, H.
White was notified that the schools
should not be opened for at least a
week. It was too late the health de-
partment thought, to close down the
churches yesterday, but movie proprie-
tors were told that their last shows for
some days would be held Saturday,
Everywhere, among people who have
thus far managed to forestall the NAL
ady, there is disposition to applaud
the action of the health authorities.

Certain.

Some uncertainty attends the circum-
stances surrounding the death of Edward
Leclair, who was found dead in his home
on the second floor of the A. Tomasi
building Merchant street entrance, Sun
dav afternoon. A woman who lives in
adjoining suite, having become suspi-
cious because she had not heard the Gus
tomary movements about the room, en-.
tered and found Mr. Leelair dead on the
bed Stories differ as to whether a gas
burner near by was afame, but at po-
lice headquarters officers who were
called to the block soon afterward said
that the odor of gas was not to be de-
fected Mr. Leclair had been in failing
health for several months On the gas
stove were evidence of a dinner partial
ly prepared. The police thought that
the man had been dead since Saturday
afternoon After their investigation,
they gave permission for the removal Of

PRIVATE CLEMENT PINARDr.
Body Brought to Barre from Camp Dew
ems

The body of Private Clement Pinardi
of Camp Devens, whose death occurred
Friday after a brief illness of Spanish
influenza. arrived in the city over the
Central Vermont railroad Sunday morn
ing. The remains were taken TO the
home Of Charles Marchesi at 81 Railroad
street, where funeral services this after,
noon at o'clock are to be followed by
intermeht in the Catholic cemetery.
Private Pinardi's name was confused
with that of Private Clarence Bineedi
tidings of whose demise reached here
Friday. The telegram was addressed to
Joseph Comoll, but two men of that
name Immediately advised the local
Western Union Office that they were not
acquainted with him. Later Joseph
Comolli of Scampini square, upon read
ing the circumstances in The Times,
thought the deceased soldier might be
his brother-in. law, Private Pinardi.
Friends of the man wired Camp Deyens,
with the result that the camp authorities
decided that the name Of the soldier had
been confused in transmission over the
wire.
Private Pinardi went to Camp Devens
last March. He was born in Italy 20
years ago and had been resident Of
Barre eight years, having been employed
as a ganiteeutter. His wife died a year
ago and the only near relative surviving
in America is young daughter, who
lives in Barre. The young mans par
ents and several uncles and aunts reside
in italy.
