WIND BLEW 80 MILES
An HOUR 1T BLUE HILL
The Winters Worst Storm Was Ac-
companied BY Tremendous Gale
OFF New England Coast.

Boston. March 6.--The winters lat
est storm swept into New England to-
day. adding further burdens to convs-
lescing railroads, tearing down wires
and holding shipping in port or to
emergency anchorages. In its early
stages the storm started thaw of the
tremendous snow and ice deposits but
oil flood danger was quickly checked
when the precipitation turned from
rain to snow, with increasing cold The
wind gained strength with the hours,
and a velocity of so miles was reported
from Blue Hill observatory before
noon.
Locally the snowfall was light be-
rause the precipitation had been in the
form of rain mp to this morning
Enough rain fell here to correspond
with foot of snow. In northern and
western New England lower tempera-
lures developed snow earlier and new
snow blockades of railroads and trolley
services were reported with from 10 to
IL inches of snow, making conditions
the worst of the winter.
These conditions were reflected here
with four to six-hour delays on trains
arriving from New York and points
north and west, where the brunt of the
storm was felt last night The Boston
& Maine railroad, because OF the condi-
tons in Vermont, New Hampshire and
western Massachusetts,, suspended all
freight service.
Shipping in Narragansett bay was
held up and some of the Long Island
sound passenger steamers were forced
TO anchor to ride out the storm.

TRYING TO CLEAR
THE BRANCH LINES
Great Deal of Shoveling Is
Needed to Reach
the Switches

St Albans, March 6.--Trafiic was
badly tied up this morning by the
worst blizzard of the season. The early
morning train over the Central YER
mont railway from the south ran
about five hours late into Essex juno
tion, where the passengers were given
their breakfasts. Part of that delay
was due to Boston g. Maine connections
All freights were cancelled. Snow
plows and scrapers were run on branch
lines in an attempt to clear the tracks
for passenger service, but as there was
considerable depth of water when the
storm began, it required vast amount
of shoveling to dig the switches out.
The st. Albans & Swanton Traction
company lines were out of commission.
There was no tie-up Of telegraph wires
and only slight interference with the
telephone service.
The snow scrapers in the city were
started out about o'clock this morn
ing, but were soon stuck in the drifts
and it will be necessary to wait until
the storm is over before the sidewalks
can be plowed out.

Former Granite Manufacturer Died

Alexander Cruickshank, for nearly
4 years a Barre granite manufacturer,
| died at his home at 50 Summer street
Yesterday afternoon at ) o'clock. His

| fnement caused by tuberculosis. Two
years ago he was compelled to abandon

ease and for the past Ia months he had
been confined to his bed at his home.
On April 4, 1878, in Aberdeen, Scot
land, he was born the son of William
and Annie Cruickshank and with his
parents came to the United States
when but l3 years old, in 1891. A few
ears were spent in the Barre schools
before he began his apprenticeship as
stnnecutter with the Marr & Gordon
firm. After several years experience
and about 20 years ago he entered the
granite manufacturing business in com
pany with his father, having as their
plant an ell part of the Marr & Gordon
shed under the firm name of Crnick
shank & Son. This business continued
until the death of the late William
Cruiekshank seven years ago. From
that time on and up TO two years ago
Mr.. Cruickshank was employed as
foreman at the AIarr g. Gordon firm
and later at the F. W. Mould Granite

Cruickshank of Barre; one brother.

tiers, Mrs. John Middlebrook of Troy,
y. Y. and Mrs. Robert Duff of Water
vliet, n Y.
In the year 1900 Mr.. Cruickshank,
who was member of the Presbyte-
rian church. diverted his spare mo-
ments TO organizing what was well
known later as the Presbyterian boys
brigade and which later developed into
the boy scout troop of that church.
He was a very energetic and accommo-
dating man, ever willing to assist in
entertainments or any work of public
good and interest. Many viii remem-
Der him as a singer, be having sung
at many entertainments and churches
in this city and carried the tenor part
of a popular quartet OF a few years
past.
He entered the Spanish-American
war with the old Co. + and with this
unit went 10 Chieksmauga in ls9S. He
is a member Of Granite lodge, No. 81,
Of this city as well as OF Clan Corridor.
No. u. O. :. C., and also a member Of
the Presbyterian parish. The news of
his death will be received with regret,
as be was well known and a much
and highly respected citizen.

late home on Summer street Monday

Traffic on Lines in Pittsfeld, Mass,
Was Completely Tied Up
To-day.

Pittsfeld. Mass. March 6-Pittsfeld
was more completely tied up to-day
than during any storm this winter. Ten
inches of snow followed a rain of sew
eral hours. Then came freeze that
has tied up trolley traffic completely.
The trolley tracks are securely frozen
in The high wind which accompa-
MED the storm has drifted the snow
badly in places. The telephone com
pany also suffered badly, large num-
Der of local lines being out of of com
mission. Many of the manufacturing
plants worked short handed as it was
an impossibility for people to get to

If Peace Treaty Is Not Rat
flied at This Session
of Congress
TOLD HOUSE NAVAL
COMMITTEE TO-DAY
He Withholds Final Rec
concentrations Pending
Action on Treaty

Washington, d. c., March 6.Secre-
tary Daniels told the House nayalicom-
mittce to-day he would recommend a
naval building program for the next
fiscal year larger than that proposed
bv the general board ''if the peace
treaty is not ratified at this session Of
Congress" Withholding final recom
mendation, however, the secretary add
ed that if this country in the end re-
iected membership in the league of ma
tions. he would feel impelled to re-
new his recommendation for another
three year program Of construction.
Reiterating his statement ot last
year that I'VE must have a league Of
nations by which every nation will help
preserve the peace Of the. world with
out competitive naval building, or we
must have incomparably the biggest
navy in the world" Mr. Daniels de-
clared there was no middle ground.
Il had hoped to appear before this
committee to-day the secretary con
tinued with a final recommendation
as to a building program, but as the
Senate has not yet acted upon the
peace treaty, there are uncertainties
in the situation II the covenant had
been ratified our duty would have been
plain With the league in operation,
composed at first Of all the nations
allied or associated in the world war
and with provision for admittance Of
all other nations opposed TO conquest
and miIitarism, it would not be neees.
sary to impose on the taxpayers of
America the assessments necessary for
building more capital ships
The program which the secretary
recommended be authorized in event
the treaty is not ratified, agreed with
the general boards proposal as to cap
ital hips-two battleships and one bat
tie cruiser but added TO that proposal
20 light crHisers and II flotilla leaders,
or super destroyers. No light cruisers
and only six super. r.destroyers were rec
by the board.
II had been his intention, if the peace
treaty were ratified with the possibl-
ity OF armaments beng curtaiIed and
the secretary declared to
recommend definitely only such mod
crate building program necessary TO
round out the fleet" No capital ships
would have been included in this pro
gram, he added, but in the unsettled
Of the world to-day he dc
clared, the American navy must be
prepared for any emergency,
The question for you to decide" the
secretary told the committee, "is
the United States in future
building shall undertake simply to
round out its navy building units of
types in which we are now short or
shall embark on further expansion in
addition"

TAKE EXTRA PRECAUTIONS
AGAINST FIRE OUTBREAK

At this time of almost impas
sable stretes because of snow, it
is urgently requested that all
people in Barre take extra pre-
cautions to prevent the outbreak
of fire. The motor truck appar-
atus and the heavier horse drawn
apparatus probably could not be
used at present, and the fire de-
partment is forced to rely upon
light horse-drawn sleds to carry
chemicals and hose. Therefore,
let the people take extra pre-
cautions against fire.
The fire alarm system is out
of order, too. which makes it
more imperative that people
watch their property. In case of
fire use the telephone.
