ARREST MAN
 AS FIREBUC sssS 4z-.'
HENRY NORTON. wooDMoNT CARPENTER HELD ON CHARGE
 OF ATTEMPTED ARSON.
In Alleged Confession He is Reported As Saying That He Had No
 Motive.

Henry Norton, a carpenter of Wood mont, was placed under arrest yester- day by Sheriff T. M. Maher of Mif- ford, following an investigation of two weeks into the origin of the fire which badly damaged the cottage of Dr. E. T. Sharpe of W.oodmont, on Nov. 2. Norton was arraigned before Judge R. c. Stoddard of Milford and his case was continued until next Tuesday. He was unable to furnish bonds and was taken to the New Haven county jail. The specific charge against him is one of attempted arson. Sheriff Maher was assisted in making the arrest by State who. with State Policeman J. P. Doran of Meriden had been working on the case for over a week.
 Norton charged Charles Surend a young man of Woodmont, with being implicated in the case, and he was aiso taken into custody Surend was released yssterday after Norton .a had for the fires. The authorities suspect that Norton may be responsible for several fires of mysterious origin in and about Milford that caused much damage.
 Tn his alleged confession to the Mill ford authorities, Norton is reported to have said he had absolutely no motive for setting the fires. He denied the story that he had a personal feeling against Dr. Sharpe. and gave as his cottages. that he wanted to keep up the fire-bug excitement.
 At a time of the fire-bug epidemic three yeans ago, a rigid investigation was conducted. and it became known yesterday for the first time that the brother of a former Woodmont off cial was 10 blame for the eonflagra- tions It was said yesterday that the man implicated in the case three years ago has long since left the state. It is for this reason that Norton is not believed to have been responsible for the fires which occurred prior to three months ago. During the past. few weeks he has been employed with a gang of workmen in building the sea wall along the Woodmont beach.
 The fires which ca used Norton's ar rest were at once placed in the cate gory of incendarism by the fnvestiga- tors, who began an inquiry on Nov. 3, the day following the blaze The state police were called into the case 8 few days later. and through their co-opsra- pr,. ary work was traced to Norton. He had been seen about the cottages on inc day of the fires. The fires were set on Saturday evening, Nov g. and gutted the interior of two of the cot tages before they finally died out of their own accord.

SUSPENDED FOR
 THREE MONTHS
NEW HAVEN HIGH SCHOOL SEC- RET SOCIETY PUNISHED FOR OUTLANDISH INITIATION OF YOUNG GIRL.

New Haven, Nov. 16-F'ollowing the outlandish initia tion of a young girl rority of the High school, the school committee of the board of educa ton l yesterday suspended the society from all activities for three months, and forbade any more public initiation
 school.
 The specific incident which resulted in the suspension of the sorority was | the outlandish garb worn last Friday afternoon by one of the prospective members of the society. who stood at 1 the corner of Church and Chapel streets and attracted, by her get-up. the attention of hundreds of people. so that Officer Lynch had to disperse the crowd and escort the girl to a nearby store. She was ordered by her society superiors to wait at that par ticu1ar place, and it was explained that they were detained by class meeting and could not get there at the appoint ed time. so she had to wait, but 1t this was the society's method of mak- ing one of it's members ride the goat"-
 This is the first time trouble has arisen in the societies since they were placed under board of control two
 years ago, whose business was to see that the societies conduct themselves of the school. Under this supervision they have apparently. acted wisely, or in such way that their doings have not become public until the present in- cident. However, from testimony of those members of the society who told Of the doings. behind closed doors. the conduct is just as outlandish as it ever was, and the control of the advisory board is merely nominal It is under! stood that further charges will be brought against the society, which may put it out of existence entirely.
 The board and superint endent were of the opinion when the society evil was solved in it's present manner. that it would be better to regulate the So- cfeties than to abolish them, and they were supposed to work under a. bona f1de agreement with the controlling board. which, if violated, would re- suit in their abolition. Many parents are of the opinion that the societies should be abolished altogether. and that only when they are, will the local High school take it's place among oth- CT institutions in school spirit and scholarship. They point to the action against the societies in BTidgeport and Meriden, and other places outside of the state, where they are non-existent, and High school conditions have fn1- proved.
 The committee on schools in order ing the susreneion Of Kappa SMu Sig ma. directed that if Principal Kirsch- ner should find the conduct of the so- ciety satisfactory at the end of that time. it could be reinstated into regu- lar standing.

Cipriano took up his residence in the Yellow House, and appointed himself provisionaI President-a choice tts was affirmed soon after by what r Castro had vast admiration fer his financial and military packer, Juan Vicente Gomez, and had him "elect- ed, to the Vice Presidency, at the same tunities in his way. "Gomez and are one" Castro was often heard to remark, but he was destined to be dis il1uaioned- When the doughty Cipri- ano, who had defied the great powers of Europe. fell i'll and had to go in charge of affairs Castro's back was no sooner turned than Gennoz de- clared himself dictator. exfled all of the supporters and relatives of Castro. and forced Congress to elect him Pres ident.
 The political opponents of Gomez. who are now said to be preparing for a revolution, admit that the President has shown himself a good business man, despite his alleged ii1iteracy. They assert that Castro was an amateur in the art of p1under when compared with his successor. It is alleged that he has established all sorts of gov- ernrnent r1onopolies. which he xnilks to have a monopoly of the packing of meat, paying its own price for cat tie and selling at its own figures, in the absence of all competition. AlcO- holic beverages, soap. matches, tobac- co. sugar and even gambling prfvil- eges and lotteries are also said to be controlled nv trlf~ts fostered and largely owned by Gomez- There is. another side to the story, of course. and Gomez has his admirers who de- and cultured statesman, who has only the welfare of his country at heart.

 well; Miss Frances Osborn, of Derby. and Mrs. A. E. Scranton Taylor of Cromwell.

Mrs. Mary Ware Bennett has also made an excellent secretary, and it was the opinion of the board that she would be reelected.
 The advantages were also discussed of holding meetings at which the of- hcials-e1ect will be the special guests. Owing fo the suffrage clause in the Democratic platform, the society feels that it is incumbent upon the suffra- gists to present the subject to the newly-elected officials that they may be better prepared to deal with the question. Such meetings will prob- ably soon be held in every city and township in fhe state. The New Ha- ven meeting will he on the evening of Dec. 5. at the Hypsrfon.4 with Max siastman of New York, as the princi- pal speaker, and an effort is being made to have present the Senator's elect from the four districts of this city, and the aseemb mblynen-e1ect from New Haven and suburban towns.
