GREENFIELD, Mass, Dec, 4

GREENFIELD, Mass, Dec. 4
G.N.SO-Rev. Robert E. Speer,
of New York, father of DR.. Elliott
Speer, victim of a bizarre shot
gun Staying which closely paral-
lelled the plot in an English novel
woven into the investigation, TO-
day went into the Franklin county
court house chamber where a
secret inquest entered its second
day.
Rev. Speer, secretary emeritus
of the board of foreign missions
of the Presbyterian Church, and
unofficially allied with the ad-
ministration of Mt. Hermon
School for Boys, where his son
was headmaster, followed the
wife of the victim.
Wife On Stand
Mrs. Speer testified for an hour
today. She spent three hours on
the witness stand yesterday.
When Mrs. Speer'S testimony
ended today she was taken into
an anteroom. It was thought she
might be recalled after her father
in-law concluded his testimony.
The father was called for inter
rogation concerning two letters
and conversations with his son.
The inquiry sought to establish
the opinions of the late DR.. Speer
regarding certain persons, one the
murder suspect, and concerning
opinions expressed in the two let
tiers.
In addition to Judge Timothy
M. Hayes, members of the District
Attorneys staff, and State police
in the inquest chamber, it was
learned that Richard Maher, a

little girls to normal babyhod,
said clothing and money were the
most useful Christmas presents
they might receive.
Thought n Winter
The doctor didn't think for a
moment of rattles and toys and
other like gadgets that other
babies have. He though of that
cold, freezing winter ahead. He
was asked.
"But, isn't there going to be
any celebration? No Christmas
Tree?"
Whereupon he replied:
"It'S still too early to talk
about Christmas plans"
THERE MAY BE TREE
He indicated, however, that
there will be quiet festivities at
Dafoe Hospital, where the quin-
tuplets are under constant care of
a corps of nurses, and that there
may be a tree.
Otherwise, he said, the Dionne
Yuletide celebration will be as
simple as the surroundings to
to which the babies were born.

POST
SEEN FOR
SANFORD
Committee Members Seem In
CIined to Favor Present Head
of Ohio Reformatory

Possibility that a successor to
Capt. M. M. Barnard as general
superintendent of District penal
institutions will be recommended
by the penal committee of the
Board of Public welfare today was
expressed by member of the COM
mittee who indicated that their
choice of Joseph Sanford was
likely.
Mr.. Sanford, native of Wash.
ington, who served as probation
officer for the Juvenile Court for
several years, is now the superin-
tendent of the State reformatory
in Chillicothe, Ohio.
He made a thorough study OF
penal institutions when {. member
of the staff of the United States
Bureau of Efficiency. and had a
good record during his assignment
to the disciplinary barracks at
Fort Eustis, Va.
Decision Seen Today
Judge M. M. Doyle, chairman
of the penal committee, stated
that the group would probably de-
eide on Captain Barnard's success
sore today. and said that Mr.. San
ford was in his estimation a good
man.
Another member OF the COM
mittee who praised Mr.. Sanford's
record was DR.. Worth B. Daniels,
who said that a new penal head
would be chosen either to-day. or
at the next meeting of the com
mittee.
Mrs. Spencer. Gordon, the third
member of the penal group, who
was appointed as member of the
Board of Public Welfare several
weeks ago, said that she had not
come to any conclusion as to
Captain Barnard's successor.
Progressive Type Wanted
Director of Public Welfare FL
wood Street stated that the prin-
ciple consideration in the choice
of a new prison head is to obtain
a man who will institute a pro-
gressive administration.
Mr.. Street indicated that Mr..
Sanford and Col. William Peak
are the outstanding candidates
for the position. Colonel Peak,
superintendent of the District Re-
formatory at Lorton, was the
superintendent of the District
Jail until the riots at Lorton led
to the replacement of A. C. TaWSe
as superintendent of that institu-
tion two years ago.

BY International News Service
The American Government as
signed some of its own arms con-
tracts to the British government
in 1914, Senator Nye (R0 OF
North Dakota, said today at the
Senate inquiry into affairs Of
American munitions manufactur.
ers.
Senator Nye secured this in
formation from brief, filed by
the Colt Patent Firearms Com
pany with the Internal Revenue
Bureau.
Samuel M. Stone, president Of
the Colt Company, was on the
witness stand at the time. He
could not recall whether the con-
tracts were assigned before or
after the outbreak of the World
War. The revelation, however.
amazed members of the investi'
eating committee.
Senator Nye read statement
from the tax brief that stated.
"Our contracts with the United
States Government, with deliv-
cries assigned to the British
navy in 1914, was an eloquent
acknowledgment of our belief
that business would increase"
"Was this assignment by the
American Government to the
British made after the declara-
ton of war?"
Mr.. Stone said:
II can't answer that"
Mr.. Stone, however, admitted
the deliveries had been made in
Canada for the British navy. He
said the deliveries were continued
from 1914 to 1916. Committee
members believed it constituted
violation of neutrality if the
American Government made the
assignment of its contracts after
the declaration of war.
Cites Vickers Contract
Mr.. Stone also said the Colt

use the latter's patents to manu-
facture Maxim machine guns for
the United States Government.
He added his company had q
similar contract with the Hotch-
kiss Company to make arms for
the United States Army.
Senator Nye asked Mr.. Stone
if his company's business had not
picked up considerably just be-
fore the war. Mr.. Stone denied
this. He said his company could
not sell its product in Europe,
and its only large business was
to sell new automatic pistols to
the United States Government
just before the war.
Senator Nye read from an affi-
davit of Frank C. Nichols, vice
president of the Colt Company,
filed with the tax brief, that the
company's business increased over
1000 per cent from 1910 to 1912.
Mr.. Stone explained this increase
was due to the American Govern.

HEADOF MD,U,
Hal Is RULING
ONR. D. T.C.
Students Also Gratified at
Supreme Court Backing of
Military Courses

The United States Supreme
Courts ruling upholding the legal
ity of enforced military training
in land grant colleges was held
by DR.. Raymond A. Pearson,
president of the University of
Maryland, as settling a perplex-
ing problem" at the UNIVERSITIES.
DR.. Pearson declared:
II am glad that the Supreme
Court has ruled upon the r. o.
T. C. 1t has been a problem
that has perplexed university
heads for some time"
DR.. Pearson pointed out that
approximately 700 out of the
1900 at the University of Mary
land are now taking the military
course. Two students were sus-
pended from the school in 1882
for refusing to take the training
because they held It contrary to
their religious belief.
Students Back Outing
Physical disability is the only
ground for exemption from the
training, Or. Pearson declared.
There are only a few students,
however, that escape the course
on that ground, it was said. The
others are required to take the
training for two of their four
years in the university. It was
explained that while only TOO out
of 1900 are taking the training
now, the others probably served
their required two years pre-
ViouSly.
Also upholding tn ruling was
Warren Tydings, president of the
student government association at
the university. He declared:
"The Supreme Court not only
uphOIds the law but also cOrrOb-
grated the opinion of students
attending this college. The r.
o. T. C. at the University of
Maryland is Sympathized with
by the students because Of the
able personalities guiding it and
because it never attempts to for
mulate opinions on either ma
tiOnal or international ques-
tiOnS."
Only Few AgitatorS
The student head also pointed
out that the ruling vindicates the
recent stand of the student body
in refusing to send delegates to
the anti-war conference in Balti.
more. At that conference, one
student, said to have been of the
University of Maryland, told the
anti-war assembly that it's stand
against preparedness was "un-
American"
University officials expressed a
hope today that there would be no
further agitation" over the com.
pulSory military training regula.
tions, pointing out that there are
only a handful of students at
the university who could be
branded "agitatorS."
