LEPER SUSPECT RAN LIFT IN LARGE HOTEL Porto Rican, Taken From Booming House, Believed
 to Have Disease. LEFT HIS JOB
 FEW DAYS AGO Employed as Elevator Pilot in Biggest Hostelry in
 New York.

New York, Aug. 23-A Porto Rican youth who up to a few days ago was employed as an elevator operator at one of the big hotels was taken to the Willard Parker Hospital yesterday as a suspected leper. A definite state ment as to whether the disease ac- tually had been determined to be lep- rosy was refused at the hospital last night in the absence of the superin- tendent The patient, who is entered on the hospital books as Mitchell Olivencis, 23 years old, Is officially termed to be under observation"
 Olivencfa engaged quarters in a furnished room house at 257 West Twenty-third street about four weeks ago. He continued to run an elevator at the hotel where he was employed until few days ago, when he left and obtained work at the New York Button Works, at 143 West Nine teenth street Yesterday a maid en- tered his room about noon and found that Olivencia had not gone to work as usual He complained of not feel ing well and asked that he be sent to a hospital.
 Patrolman Padian of the West 2Oth street station was called in and he sent a call for an ambulance to the New York hospital pr. Olsen responded and Olivencia was taken there, where his case was diagnosed as leprosy and was so entered on the hospital books. A special ambulance, designed for highly contagious dl- seases, was later called and the pa tient was transferred to the Willard Parker hospital
 According to the physicians 1t IS bv no means certain that any of the persons who have come in contact with OHvencia have been exposed to the disease, as there Is no danger of contaglou until the eruptdons break. Those on Olivencia's face apparently did not do so until Thurs day morning, the doctors think. The room in which he has been living has been quarantined by the Health De- partrrept and will be fumigated, It was announced last night.
 At the office of the manager of the hotel, which had employed Alivencda, a report that he had worked in the kitchens. or that he had had any thing to do with the food supply, or it's service, was denied. It was stat ed that his work had been concern ed solely with the operation of an elevator. This statement was in conformity with what remarks Oli- vencia is reported to have dropped concerning the nature of his employ ment at his rooming house.
 Later in the evening the press agent for the hotel in question said that the timekeeper there had no record of any such man having been in the employ of the establishment When told of the statement made at tn coffee of the manager he suggest ed that mistake must have been made.

KILL POLES BY WHOLESALE IN UPPER SELESIA Germans Are Accused of Slaughtering Many Peace
 full Citizens. Teutons Preparing a
 Favorable Plebiscite 200, ,000 Miners Participate in Strike As Protest
 Against Huns.

Berlin, Aug. 23.-Oelayed). De claring that Germany has resorted to massacre in Upper Silesia, in order to establish her power before the plebis- cite was held, the Polish Secretary of War, Yorfanti, pleaded yesterday that the Allies send a commission to or ganize the country and preserve order.
 "The Germans are killing peaceful citizens in Upper Silesia," Yorfanti asserted. Travellers from that dis trict told me that sixteen persons were executed at G1eiwitz in one day without a trial. The impression is that the Germans are trying to shoot prominent Poles so as to disorganize the country and have an excuse to massacre the population, thus i'm proving Germanys chances in the plebiscite."
 Yorfanti declared that Hoersing, German commissioner in Upper Silesia, was well aware that Minister of War Noske was responsible for introducing marital law against the Poles in order to aid the German movement for favorable plebiscite. At Myslowitz," Yorfand said, Seven workers were killed while awaiting their pay. Peaceful citizens

NEWS WRITERS ASSN ISSUES
 STATEMENT
Outlines Situation In City AS to Their Organiza-
 tion.
GREAT SUCCESS
 ATTENDS EFFORTS
Elk Service Men of. Profes sion Have All Become
 Members.

The following statement, signed by President James H. Shay, of the Newswriters' Equity Association, was issued today relative to the situ- ation developed in this city by thE formation of the association:
 We are continuing our campaign of organization with great success, and 70 per cent. of all the newswrit- CTS of Bridgeport are now with us. We expect the others will be within few days. A significant feature of the organization of the association thus far, is that every one of the newswriters in the city who saw real service with the armed forces of the country is with Equity strong and to the finish.
 Equity is meeting with nothing but cooperation on every side, and substantial support in the form of cash and checks unsolicited and from sources to which we had not planned to look for support.
 ''Equity's own organ, a weekly publication, distinctively original, and ref1ecting the best efforts of the best newswriters in Bridgeport, will be placed on sale during the coming week. Equity is prepared to fight for recognition indefinitely. It is in a i position to state that none of its members will suffer through financial
 embarras ssment.
 We have just begun to fight, and | like Grant, who didn't hang back when the boys started to accomplish something real for all the people, ! We propose to fight 1t out on this | line if it takes all summer

WOMEN BARRIERS
 ARE FAVORED
 BY WESTERNERS
Yarber Chief Now in Con. necticut Auditing Ac-
 counts.
NEW CONFLICT WILL
 BE EAST vS. WEST
Bridgeport Barbers Would Eliminate All Else From
 Shop.

New Haven, Aug. z3-There Is to he another war of sections but in the forthcoming conflict 1t will not be the North against the South but 1t will be the East vs West The bat tie now raging In the East and West is whether women barbers shall be admitted to the union.
 A. c. Mendell, auditor of the Journeyrnen Barbers' International Union of America, is now looking over the accounts of the barbers' unions in Connecticut
 Wendell said that the West was practically solid in favor of admitting women to the ranks of union mem bershtp while about all the opposi- ton was found In the East. In the West, Wendell said. the people con- s'der that women who do the work of men should have all the opportun- ities that men have. Chicago has over 200 women barbers. Women barbers are numerous all through the West.
 From articles printed in the Jour neyman Barber" by officials of unions in Connecticut, the barbers in this state are opposed to the admission of women into the union. Mir Men dell said he found this sentiment all over the East.
 And while the West is in the fore front on the woman question, Con necticut leads in another department and Bridgeport shows the way. The Bridgeport barbers have started a drive to eliminate everything from barber shop except barbering. They don't want a barber shop, shoe-shIn- ing parlor, hat cleaning establish ment and manicuring emporium, with blondes on one side and brunettes on the other. all mixed up. They claim that the dust from cleaning hats and shoes and perhaps the powder on the faces of the manicurists is not sani- tary and union barbers put cleanli- ness above everything except conver- sation. The Bridgeport union is now engaged in trying to interest Hart ford and New Haven in this cam paign but as far as learned other cities will not do anything about ii unless the barber commissioners make a ruling or a new law is passed for bidding any workmen in a barber shop except the tonsorial artist.
 In speaking about this matter, MT Mendell said Bridgeport was pio- neer in trying to drive bootblacks and hat cleaners out of barber shops. He said the barbers' commission had authority to do anything to make the shops sanitary and if they considered that shining shoes and cleaning hats was not sanitary In a barber shoI the commission could have them eliminated.
