Nov. 1 (Associated Press)- Former Prime Minister Lloyd George, in delivering today his first popular ad dress i.i London si nee the fall cf the co alition cabinet, made a strong defense of the late government's policy and pleaded for a vigorous middle course, free from both revolution and reaction whif-h he described as equally danger ous to the interests of the nation. The ex-premier 'spoke in a motion pic ture theatre to a crowd of Ci.OOO persons all who had ' been able to make their way into the building out of a throng of some 2",000 persons who had applied for .dmission. If the attitude of Lloyd George's audi ence ami that of the tl-rongs of people clustering about the doors seeking ad ..missioH . are any criterion, the former premier has by no means lost his pop ularity, even in Iondon. where most of the criticism of the late coalition has centered. Lloyd George launched into his speech with an answer to Prime Minister Rutin r Law's sarcastic characterization of him as a drummer boy. The little Welshman declared Le was not ashamed of this de scription and added, amidst cheers, that Germany lost t!ie war because she had no drummer boy. tin a speech last Thursday Mr. 11. mar Law compared Lloyd George to a drum mer in the army, saving he served a use ful purpose in wartime as he did the drumming Letter-than anyone, but that wh'ui the charge had ended and some had fallen and others were in the lms pial. a drummer would be out of place in a hospital unless his drum sticks were taken away from him.

No 'Hearing Until After Election Mr. Mills Disgusted With Delay. NEW BRUNSWICK. N. J.. Nov. 4. (Associated Press). Authorities investi gating the Ilall-Mills .murder today claimod t have located the driver of one of the two automobiles seen near the Phillips farm the night of Sept. 14. when Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall and Mrs. Eleanor R. Mills were slain. A statement obtained from this man. while not containing an account of the slaying itself, was said to substantiate many assertions of Mrs. Jane Gibson, fanner woman, who claimed to have wit nessed the murders and identified the slayer and his woman companion. The new witness's story has given investiga tors tangible evidence they wen- seek ing before preparing their case for the grand jury. The identity of the corroborating wit ness was kept secret, in order that the investigators might gather the loose ends of their thread of evidence. Action will 1 delayed in the Hall-Mills murder ease until after the election next Tuesday, according to reports today. Then it will be presented to the grand jury, although Deputy Attorney Gen eral Mott has a much-more complete case prepared for trial, this reimrt has it. Working at a secret place Mr. Mott is said to have-persuaded several persons, reported to Lave knowledge of the crime, to talk, thus ironing out weak lines in the eye witness story of Mrs. Jane Gib son.

CROSBY For Frank E. Barber To RrattleLoro Voter : "Why Frank E. Rarber?" This is the heading of a series of po litical advertisements the past week in The Reformer, signed by The Edward R. Lynch Independent Campaign Club. "Independent" is very good, but, back of it all I can see the words "Democratic Candidate" as plainly as though written. Well." 1 will concede one thing, our good Democratic friends have given Mr. liarber a lot of free advertising, all lo his advantage, in my opinion. They have given Mr. liarber credit for being able to lead the House of Representatives and the Senate ot Vermont regardless of the views all of fh Sen man to do thi ate members and the Rut to come back to th.' question, "Why Frank E. liarber?" I say: First ;because he is a Republican. Second because he is better lined to represent, the town than any other candidate t'aat ha been mentioned: this by reason of his experience, his training, his interest in town affairs, his views on stat matters that fully coincide, with our prospective Governor Proctor. Third because experience in legis lative matters is a valuable asset to the town. I huow from personal experience in 1!HJ-1!1.' that any new member does not fully get his bearings until the session is nearly closed. Fourth because if I am elected to serve you as one of the Senators from Windham County 1 believe I could better work with Mr. P.arber on all, local and state issues than with any new man. .This last may be a sellish motive, but nevertheless it is true. In locking over the whole, field I lind Ihe opposition to Mr. lar lier's election by a few of our Republicans comes from personal matters which should not enter into thL-s canvass, .-uid for the future welfare of the party and our townspeople I should hope they would forget their personal dislikes and vote nest Tuesday for the most logical candidate for Town Representative for ltl'J.'J.

The branch piano stoi-e of j;. shon ii.ger company on the tecond floor at ' Elliot st i vet is closed, following the plac ing of the business of the firm intoths hands of a receiver several days ago. The R. Shoninger company -s home of fice is in New lork city, and several months ago stores were opened in several New England cities. The Rrattleboro branch was opened Aug. 1. N. L. Moses being in charge. Tlie tirin always maintained a high credit rating up to the time when it inaugurated its chain of branch stores. Since that time, the rating of the firm is reported to have dropped, and conditions finally culminated in the receivership 6 a few days ago. Just what plans will be carried out as far as the local store is concerned cannot be ascertained. The store has been closed several days this week, although it is said to have been open for very short periods. There is a stock of several pianos' at the store. There are several loal creditors who are interested in the affairs of the com pany, but it Las been found difficult to obtain information regarding conditions, even from the New York office. It is un derstood that the local manager has not been able to receive all the desired in formation from his superiors. A Hip Kit. In the bright lexicon of flappendogy there's no such word as pale.

Now for Building Nurses' Home ANNOUNCEMENT LAST EVENING Directors Consider Plan for Increasing Size of Hospital At a meeting of tie directors of the Rrattleboro Memorial hospital last eve ning Mr. and Mrs. George L. Dunham announced a gift of $10,000 to the hos- i pital corporation in addition to the $13,- 0H they had previously given toward the erection of a nurses' home as a me morial for their daughter, Marion. This splendid gift will make possible the im mediate : erection of a nurses' Lome, something the hospital Las badly needed for a long time, and it is the expecta tion of the directors that work on the new structure will' be started this fall. In connection with the Dunham gift the directors took up the necessity of en larging the hospital itself, not only to accommodate the increasing number of patients but to enable increased efficiency in the way of operation and mainten ance. . Iu the opinion of the directors, a hos pital superior to any in this locality is within reach of Rrattleboro at a rela tively smail cost. It is understood that Richards M. Rradley, representing the Thompson Fund - trustees, is heartily in sympathy with the project of hospital enlargement and has intimated that ad ditional revenue may be forthcoming from the trust to assist in the work. In addition to this, however, it would bo necessary to secure some local contri butions, and that is a phase of the mat ter which .th hospital directors say will bo explained more in detail as the pro ject progresses. The question of increasing the size and efSeiencv of the Memorial hospital has j lii-en under consideration for more than a year, not only by the directors but -by a board of trade committee composed ..f H. C. RW: E. L. Hildreth and C. A. Hoyden, which was . appointed to reach an amicable understanding between tb town and the Thompson trustees on all matters jertaining to the fund's admin istration in Rrattleboro. This commit tee has Lad a number of conferences with Mr. Rradley and hopes to report soon on a definite plan of hospital en largement that will have the approval alike of the Thompson trustees, the hos pital directors, the committee and ' the public at large.
