PRIVATE BARBOUR
 IN THOMPSON
Was Taken Back to Camp Up ton Less Than Three Weeks
 Ago.
Complaints of His Conduct Made To
 Officials.

Private Edward Barbour of East Thompson. who, less than three weeks ago, was taken back to Camp Upton by Patrolman Gagne of the Putnam police department. is back in his old home town.
 It will be remembered that Barbour is the man who tried to work the local Red Cross for St0o on a trumped up story about sick wife and wanting to get back to camp. and who covered and crawled, down on his knees, beg ging not to be sent back to camp.
 Now the man is back in East Thompson. where his mother lives. He has been so conducting himself as to be reported to Thompson officers and to the members of the exemption board It has been said that Barbour has been threatening to shoot people, and making himself generally obnox- ious Some people are afraid of him. Others. who claim to have known him long time, say he hasn't the courage to hurt anyone, and that his bark is worse than his bite, in fact that he is mostly bark.
 As no complaints have been re ceived from Camp Upton no action has been takn to apprehend Barbour The last time he was returned to camr 1t was stated there that he was not elassed as deserter This makes local officials loath to move as they dc not want the expense of again taking the man back to camp unless they are to be reimbursed by the government
 1t is understood that a woman claiming to be Barbour's first wife will come to East Thompson and face him when she learns he is there, ana it is possible that he may then hay, to face charge of bigamy in the civ il courts.
 Representatives of the government have been informed of the man presence in East Thompson, and oi his actions. In all probability some thing will be done in the case befor, long.
 A Thompson official said he was called Monday night to go to arrest Barbour, who had been making a dis turbance, but that he, the officer thought that the government would take care of Barbour without his, the l officers interference.

In the town of Putnam this line will cross the state highway near the farmhouse of David Clarke on Xiii lingly avenue The route of the line at this point is about north and south.
 Work on the right of way of the proposed high tension line from Nor wieh north to Thompson is being done. Up and down hill, across streams and through woods the path for the line is being prepared.

ETHEL HEWITT
 DISAPPEARS
Believed That She Went To New York to Meet Soldier
 She Wrote To.
After She Left, Telegram Game Tell
 ing Her to Stay Home

Ethel Wilcox Hewett, 19 has dis appeared from the home of Mrs. W J. Bartlett, where she has been em- ployed since her mother was arrested and sent to jail last March The girl left sometime Friday night, while all but one of the family were out for the evening.
 It is believed that the girl left to join soldier in New York and it is also believed that the soldier is Priv Howard V. Gibbons, who wrote a let ter which was published in The Pa triot of June 14th asking that the people of Putnam (female preferredl write to him, as he was practically without relatives and very lonesome The letter was signed Priv Howard W. Gibbons, Camp Quartermaster's Corps Camp Merritt, N J."
 A telegram and two letters that cepted and have since been sent to the Health and Recreation department of the State Council of Defense, Hart ford, for investigation. The first let ter was one urging the girl to come to New Jersey and telling her glowing pictures of the life she could lead. 1t was signed Howard " A telegram. which came after the girl had left. told her not to come as things had gone wrong. This was also singned Howard" :" A letter that subsequent ly arrived bore in the corner of the envelope the instructions to return in three days to Howard V. Gibbons, Camp Merritt, N. J.
 It is said that after the soldiers letter was published the Hewett girl talked considerably about it. It is now thought that she wrote to the sol dier and that as a result of the cor respondence she agreed to go to meet him, and he sent her money for the trip According to a person who saw the letters, 1t looked as If there were other girls near the camp, as in one letter it told of the nice girls she, the Hewett girl, would be introduced to.
 The last heard from the girl was 1T Danielson. A telephone call iron there from citizen of the town made ] known the fact that the girl was al the railroad station there, and tool tte boat train for New York. While waiting for the train she confided il someone that she was on the way to New York to meet a soldier.

SUFFRAGETS ARE
 SENT TO JAIL
Five Connecticut Women Are
 Among the Number
Two For I s Days, One For Five Days,
 For Washington Demonstration

Twenty-six women who have been defying the police in woman's party demonstrations on the square oppo- site the White House in Washington in protest against the Senate's delay in acting on the federal suffrage amendment were in the police court Thursday, and when they refused to pay fines were sent to jail.
 Five Connecticut women were sen tenced. Helena Hill Weed and Elisie Hill of Norwalk got fifteen days. Mrs. w. A. Aseough and Mrs: George Koenig of Hartford got fifteen days and Edna Purtell of Hartford five days. Mrs Ascough said on the way to jail: My ancestors have fought in every American war would be ashamed not to take part in this final struggle for American Free dom"
 Ten-day sentences were imposed for unlawfully holding a meeting without permits and seventeen of the defendants got five additional days for climbing on a statue of General Lafayette.
 The sentences were imposed for participation in the first demonstra- ton staged last week. Cases are pending against most of these wo- men and number of others on ac- count of later activities
 The women made no attempt to ap- peal from the decision of the police court judge and began serving their sentences. After court officials at the hearing called the roll the women re- fused to answer any questions put to them and remained silent.
 The women will be confined in a city workhouse and according to the present plans will not be sent to the District of Columbia workhouse at Occoquan, Va, where members of the national woman's party, including Mrs. W. J. Bartlett of Putnam, who engaged in a similar demonstration last year and who were sentenced on the same charge, were confined.

 Against John Goodshaw ,et

John Goodshaw, a former resident of the Polish section of this city, was arrested this week in Worcester, on complaint of Sophie Mintook of Good year, also formerly of Putnam, that Goodshaw Is the father of her child Goodshaw was placed under bonds of s1 .000 for appearance in the Worces- ter county superior court.
 The Mintook woman lived in Put nam for a number of years. Only a short time ago, in the superior court, she received divorce from her hus- band in the old country. At the time of the divorce action it came out that the husband had joined the army and was reported killed. \
 Sophie Mintook is petite blonde and there seemed to be a considerable rivalry among some of the young Pol ish men of Putnam for her favor. In police court breach of the peace case it developed that the underlying cause of the fight that was the cause of the arrest was as to who should have the privilege of escorting Sophie home from a christening. Sophie was witness and appeared to enjoy it and to enjoy also the discontinue of the two rivals, one of whom had been struck and then had had the other ar- rested If memory is to be relied on, Sophie had finally been escorted home by third young man while the other two wre having their quarrel.
