 Last Night.

 This so weighed on him that he had been heard by friends to say he in tended to commit suicide. It is be- night. He was found unconscious at Boston avenue and East Main street, at l o'clock this morning and was taken to the Emergency hos pital, where he was treated for a bull let, wound in his left shoulder.
 His coat was found to be badly burned from powder. Baruth told the police he had been held up at Boston avenue and East Main street, and when he resisted one of the highwaynen shot him. He was talk en to the Bridgeport hospital, where it is said his condition is not seri-

 Ireland.

Washington, Feb. zs-Secretary Tumulty issued a statement at the White House today denying formally on behalf of President Wilson that the President told members of the congressional foreign affairs commit tees Wednesday night that the Irish question was a matter between Ire land and England, and that Ireland would have no, voice in the peace con- ference at present.
 4 statement to this effect, made by at least one of the committeeman af- ter the White House conference, was characterized as a deliberate false hood" MT. Tumulty refused to dis cuss what the President did say about the Irish question.
 'In the last few days the following quotation has appeared in the press under a Washington date line as part of the report of the dinner given by the President at the White House Wednesday evening, Feb. 26, to the members of the committee on foreign relations of the senate and the com n1ittee on foreign affairs of the house:
 tees that the Irish question was a matter between Ireland and England and that Ireland would not have any voice in the Peace Conference al present.

RAILROAD AvE.IS SCENE OF EARLY MORNING CHASE Patachuk Captured After Assault on Henry Wilson,
 a Barber. PLEADS NOT GUILTY
 IN POLICE COURT Identified By Victim and Other Pursuers As Man
 Wanted.

With blood streaming down his face from wounds on his forehead. Harry Wilson, of 387 Coleman St, who conducts a barber shop at $50 Broad street, chased Joseph PataChuk of 6S Lexington avenue to Main street and Railroad avenue, where he was captured at 7:3O this morning.
 Patachuk was arraigned in city court this morning and at his request the case was continued until tomor- row morning, as Patachuk stated he wished to obtain counsel.
 Wilson was aided in the chase of Patachuk by two jitneymen who heard his calls for assistance,- and later by Patrolmen Michael CoIonari and William Danwig. He was over taken by one of the patrolmen as he reached Main street and Railroad avenue.
 According to the story told to the police by Wilson, soon after he open ed his shop for business this morning, Patachuk and another man entered. The other man said he warted 8 shave and a shampoo. Patachuk wanted a shave but said he would wait until his friend was through.
 While Wilson was busily engaged in preparing to shave the man, Pata- chuk hit him across the face with a blackjack, knocking him down, and the other man jumped on him. Going through his pockets, they robbed him of $7O, and ran out Of the shop.
 Wilson managed to get to his feet, and staggering to the door, called for help. As he did so, saw his two as- Sailants running on Railroad avenue toward Main street. He ran after them shouting all the time. One of the men lodged between two build ings and escaped, Patachuk elected to keep on the street which was his un- doing.
 Patachuk insists it is a case of mistaken identity and he is not the man who robbed Wilso4. He claims he runs a restaurant on Lexington avenue and does not have to rob people.
 He has been positively identified by Wilson as one of the men who rob- bed him, and by the two jitneymen as the man they were chasing. Wilson was badly battered and required medical treatment at the Emergency hospital after which he was taken to his home.
 Part of the money taken from Will son was found in Patachuk's pocket and it Is thought he threw some of 1t away when he saw he was likely to be captured. The police expect to find this money and use it as evidence against him tomorrow morning. He Is being held in bonds of S2,5o0.

The ten men were arralgned in the city court this morning before Judge Frank l.. Wilder, charged with a breach of the peace, In order to give the De partment of Justice time to in vestigate their activities in and about Bridgeport, the cases were continued until Monday, March 8.

 The raid for the purpose of nip ping in the bud an attempt to dessi- minate BOlsh hevic literature in Bridge port had been planned for some time by police officials. In some way the matter leaked out and 1t Is stated that e number of suspected persons in all cases. aliens left the city, and in this manner escaped the police drag net last night. It was estimated that no less than 50 persons were slated for arrest last night, but only 10 were found of whom the police suspected in being implicated.

BOSTON" PHASE OF NELL HOUNDS RETURNS TO CITY Colored Fighter, Discharged From Service, Has Many
 Decorations. WOUNDED IN BATTLE CHAMPAGNE SECTOR Used to Black Shoes But Turned to Darken Huns
 Existence.

Corporal Arthur James Pease, the only Bridgeport boy in the famous 369th Infantry composed largely of the old 5th National Guard of New York, the renowned colored fighting regi- ment called the Hell Hounds for their great dexterity and perststency during the greatest drives of the war, has been mustered out of the service and is back in civilian life.

He wears the star of the first hundred thous- and, a wound stripe, the Crotx de Guerre, and an embroidered rattle snake on the sleeve of his overcoat on his right arm. The latter gives him the distinction of being one of the veterans of the Snake Hill battle, one of the first drives at the Argonne. He has also been cited for bravery.
 Corporal Pease has seen sonic of the bloodiest fighting at the battles of the Champa gne, the Argonne, AIsace- Lorraine and Verdun.
