TROUBLE STARTED OYER
SOME GREEK WORKMEN
Spectacular Capture Made in Streets
of Seymour by Blacksmith, Who
Deliberately Engages Man With
Revolver in Conversation While
Restaurant Worker Creeps Up
Behind.

Seymour, Nov. 10.-After shooting
down three Greeks with whom he
had had a quarrel earlier in the day,
Tony Dorathes, an Italian, walked
two blocks in the center of Bank
street, one of the principal thorough
fares, brandishing a revolver. The
man was captured by Frederick Hall.
a blacksmith and Jack Bowes, of the
Seymour restaurant. Hall walked to
the center of the street and engaged
the Italian in conversation while
Bowes crept up in the rear of the
man and seized the hand which held
the revolver. Bowes managed to
throw Dorathes to the ground, where
he was seized by a. crowd of men and
disarmed. In Dorathes pockets were
found enough cartridges to kill large
share of Seymours population. The
three men shot were rushed to Grif-
fen hospital, Derby. Two of them
expected to live.
Their names, as given at the hospi-
tai, are: Stalieu Bill, shot in breast;
Pantentelis Joannides, shot through
body, and Polikonis Poharis, shot In
the back. Bill and Joannides are ex-
pected to die. The condition of Po-
harris is serious, but he is said to
stand a chance Of recovery.
Trouble with several Greek work.
men is said to have led to the shoot
ing. Dorathes stated at the police sta
ton that he had fight with five
Greeks. The shooting took place on
First street, where a new building is
being erected. but how the quarrel
started is not known. After shooting
the three men, Dorathes took refuge
in the basement of the building
where he reloaded his revolver and
then left the building and started
down Bank street, pointing the
weapon from one side of the street
to the other. Scores of people lined
the walks on each side, but the sight
of the revolver and the menacing at
titude Of the man kept the crowd at
a distance. Dorathes was without
coat or hat and presented such a wild
appearance that no one ventured near
him until Hall walked to the center
of the street and talked with him.
The Italian pointed his revolver at
Hall, but did not shoot, and Hall
managed to hold the attention of the
man until Bowes had a chance to
creep up behind him and bring him
to earth.

the warning never return to Tulsa"
| the I. w. w. members were started
through the brush away from the city
followed by a fussilade of shots
Eleven of the I. w. w. members
were arrested in a recent raid on
state headquarters here. The other
six had testified last night at the
trials of their fellows in city court.
All were being taken back by round
about route to I. W. w. headquarters
in three touring cars by city police
men, when they were halted by the
black-shrouded figures armed with
rifles and pistols. The policemen had
intended to exact from the I. w. w.
members a promise to leave the city
and not to return, whereupon the
prison sentences would be suspended.
The policemen in charge Of the
prisoners were offered no violence
but were forced to drive the motor
cars to the rendezvous in a ravine
near the city and watch the work of
the "knights'' none of whom was rec
ognized because of the disguise. Late
in the night the streets of Tulso were
placarded with printed signs bearing
this warning:
Notice to I. w. W. Don't let the
sun set on you in Tulsa. Vigilance
committee"
When the party reached the ravlne
the I. w. w. members were ordered to
strip. A careful guard was kept over
each one, who had previously been
searched and whose hands had been
tied with a rope.
A circle Of motor cars was drawn
about huge tree, and in the glare of
the headlights man after man was
tied up and dashed on the back until
the blood ran. Boiling hot tar then
was applied and handfuls of feathers
thrown onto the tar.
One old man begged for mercy and
cried that he was not an l. w. w.
but a "knight" declared he had been
arrested in the raid on the state head
quarters and he took his turn at the
whipping post. When the residence
of J. Edgar Pew, vice president OF the
Carter Oil company was blown up
here October 29 by a nitro-glycerine
bomb, city, county, state and federal
officials asserted it was the premature

Patience must be exercised further
by New Britain consumers before they
are told what the price of coal, under
government regulation, will be in this
city. The price was esta blished almost
two weeks ago by E. w. Christ, A. N.
Abbe and w. J. Farley but it has not
been made public and will not be made
public until DR.. Harry A. Garfield,
federal fuel administrator approves Of
the rate adopted.
Thomas w. Russell, state fuel ad-
ministrator, told the Herald today that
no prices can be published until word
is received from Mr.. Garfield, at Wash
ington.
The whole matter is in the hands
of Washington" Mr.. Russell said
over the telephone. II am sorry that
I am unable to tell you the price for
publication as I believe it is desirable
to have the price announced.
"Criticism of the New Britain COM
mittee is unwarranted. The members
have done their share and ] have done
all can but we must wait until WASH
ingtOn gives the word to release the
rates for the newspapers and the
public
Mr.. Christ, chairman of the local
committee, has spent many hours in
an attempt to convince those higher
up to make public the price adopted,
but without result. He believes that
many people are delaying ordering
their winter coal until the price comes
down.

The Dining Room

TN PLACING the dining room there are
l. two considerations uppermost; these are
It's exposure and its accessibility to the kilt
chen. The exposure should be southeast,
with windows facing both south and east,
II both exposures are not TO be had, then
its windows should face the east. Break
fast is the only meal during the winter at
which It is possible to have sunlight 1t is
also the time of day when the sunlight is
most welcome.
The dining room should be separated
from the kitchen by only single double
swing door In the small house in the larger
houses only is a pantry necessary.
1t is not necessary that the dining room
have direct access to the front hall and II
is permissible that It should be used as
passage from the kitchen to the front door,
although II is, Of course, better when this
is not necessary.
The shape and size of the dining room
pretty well Is dictated by the furniture that
will be placed in It and by the number of
people It is TO accommodate The furni-
ture more or less is a fixed quantity, the
sizes are also pretty much the same. unless
one has, as is often the case, an old side
board of unusually large size.
Tables are from four to five feet wide
when to seat four or five people the table
may be round, win SlueDOatu AT one
end of the room, the smallest that the
dining room can be made is about IL by II
feet.
II II is desired TO seat eight persons the
table must be from six TO eight feet long.
In this case the size Of the room should be
about IL by II feet. Other pieces of furni-
ture may be taken care Of In the corners
of the room, or, II not the room should
be widened or heightened accordingly.
These pieces are the serving table, three or
four feet in length, and one and one-half
feet wide, and china closet. about three to
four feet in length and about fourteen
inches wide. The sideboard is from five
to five and one-half feet long and about
two feet wide.
Since the sdeboard generally is the best
piece of furniture In the house, wall space
should be provided for it on the main axis
OF the room or else facing the entrance in
case this is on one side 1t is best not to
have n window above the sideboard as the
silver, glass and china are seen to better
advantage when lighted from the front than
from directly above or behind.
The serving table should. of course be
placed near the door to the kitchen. and
so that the door will not swing against Il.
The china closet is well placed between
two windows, or a corner closet may be

with conviction when l had repeated some
of this talk to him, Should not be sent
to the front, but they should prove that
they are geniuses.
II firmly believe that something should
be done to exempt the exceptional young
men, il it can be shown that the young
men have exceptional ability I consider
the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts
as the place where the potential art of
America is centered and should say that
about ten young men who are studying
there should be exempted.
But they l know will not ask exemp-
tion," he continued fondiy-Mr. Pearson Is
instructor in composition, drawing and
painting at the academy They will have
to be kept back by others and something
should be done. This l consider imperative,
and feel that il the proper steps are taken,
President Wilson himself will favor their
exemption.
ARTISTS MAKE GOOD SOLDIERS.
at is not true, however" he continued
, defensively, that artists do not make good
soldiers, that they are physically and
mentally unequal to the strain Of war
True, killing does hot come easily to us,
and we do manage to get far away from
the brutalties of life, but still despite all
that the artist makes ths very finest type
of soldier.
THE English artists proved that. They
formed themselves into a regiment and
made the highest kind of record, but within
year England had recalled all Of them
and had given them executive positions.
THE young artists-and 1 do not mean

only painters but musicians, singers, arch
itects and writer's" Mr.. Pearson continued
should be exempt from service at the front
This should be in line with the general
plan of conservation the Government has
laid down. But exemption from actual
service in the trenches does not mean that
the artist cannot serve his country in some
capacity There are many duties for the
performance of which the artists training
has fitted him peculiarly. l do not think
this Is the time for painting pictures"
Many of the young students at the Acad-
emy whose work may or may not have
kept burning the sacred flame of art In
America have already thrown down their
brushes and palettes and. not waiting to
be drafted have rushed to the colors.
II had a letter from promising young
student who received medal at the Acad-
emy last year" Mr.. Pearson said. He is
now. in the navy. He wrote about how his
fellow sailors laughed at him when he tried
to observe the amenities of life and be
polite, and how al officer cursed him when
he offered to give his shore leave TO another
fellow who seemed TO be losing out on it"
The portrait painter laughed. But he is
eating his beans with the rest of them now,
and though the harsh routine comes hard,
II is not artists who are slackers"
And in consideration of the fact that he
has renounced throughout the war period
the work that is religion and life to him
in order to serve Uncle Sam in any humble
capacity whatever II is not given to any
one to put Joseph T. Pearson, Jr and his
ilk in class with those who quit or sulk
considering themselves apart from the COM
mon herd.
