PUTNAM NEEDS
 AMERICANIZATION
State Director Deming Finds Need of Work Here, But Ex- tent Is Undetermined.

In looking over the field for Ameri- canization work in Connecticut, Rob ert C. Deming, the state director. has divided the towns into four classes preparatory to launching his cam paign. Putnam is placed in class II. which consists of those towns where there is thought to be need for Americanization work to an extent yet to be determined. The town of Killingly is also included in this same class. In 20 towns conditions were regarded to be such as to require the constant attention of an Americaniza- tion committed, 21 towns are included in the class where there is felt to be considerable need for work along these lines, 52 towns are felt to need little if any attention, and the condi- tions in the remainder of the towns render Americanization work unnec- essary,
 Director Deming, in announcing the classification, emphasized that, while it was the product of careful study of nationality, social and industrial groups in the respective sections, it was yet tentative and subject te change at any time,
 In so far as his investigations have gone, Mr. Deming has been unable to find need for Amerieanization depart ments in Woodstock, Pomfret or Brooklyn.
 Class III contains the names of towns in which it is believed that lit tie, if any. Americanization will be needed. In some of them arrange ments will probably be made for a part-time local Americanization di- rector, as the number of probable subjects is not large enough to oecu- py the attention of a director for more than few hours a day. Among these are Thompson, Groton, Stafford Lebanon and Coventry.

EAGER TO DIE IN
 ELECTRIC CHAIR
Murderer of Dewitt Peal Pre-
 fers Death to Prison Bars
Gordon Hamby Is the Most Remark. able Prisoner Ever Confined In
 the State of New York

Because he prefers to go quickly to the electric chair and get ''the thing over with. Gordon Hamby, murderer of Dewitt c. Peal and Henry Coons in the East Brooklyn Savings Bank last December. objects to the attempts of his attorney, Frank, X. McCaffery, to appeal his case. He has already grown weary of the monotony of pris- on life, and is eager to die In this respect, as we'll as in others, he is the most remarkable prisoner ever con fined by the New York authorities. There is local interest in Hambys $ fate because of the fact that the Peal family is well known in the Abingdon section of the town of Pomfret.
 During his trial-which he didn't want to go through with in the first place, much preferring to be sent di- rectly to the chair-Hamby showed evidence of weariness, and assumed the attitude of man who was being terribly bored. When the jury brought in verdict of guilty he appeared much relieved. Lawyers, and curious spectators were wearisome to a man who had robbed thirteen banks, and participated in nine shootings, of which five had resulted fatally. He had killed a friend in the west be- cause the friends eyes sparkled and narrowed during an argument. In Brooklyn he killed two strangers, one of them Peal, because they tried to protect the interests of the bank in which they were employed. Peal and Coons had died because, from Ham by's point of view, they had failed to realize that disobedience was synony- nous with death.
 Hamby fears only one thing, and that IS that his attorney will in some way set the legal machinery in oper- ation, and thus prolong his stay on earth. That would mean time lost time spent with prison wall. And this does not appeal to Hamby.
 This most unusual criminal is a trim looking young man, soft spoken and clear eyed. He laughs as he tells of his shootings and robberies, and with apparent glee states that he wants death because he objects to staying in prison where there are no grassy slopes and ripping brooks. It is a poetic nature, to say the least, that this remarkable criminal possess es. And being of the disposition that he is, Hamby longs for the electric chair, which he feels sure will provide diversion, and at least bring 2 change from the humdrum existence he now leads within his narrow cell.

TO BURN OIL INSTEAD OF COAL

The boilers at the plant in Me- chanicsville that develop power for the French River Textile Co.,, and the Putnam Light & Power Co.,, are now being equipped so that oil may be used as fuel under them, instead of coal, which is now used. The work is nearly completed, and once the sys- tenn is in operation it is believed that the saving to the companies will amount to thousands of dollars. This power plant is the first in this part of the state to use the oil for the devel- oping of power.

Brilliant Actress Latest Screen Play

Theatre Yesterday.
Eve for Eye" which was shown
at the isis theatre yesterday. and
in which Nazimova was seen In the
leading role of Hassouna. has cre-
ated new and great heights in the an
nails of the silent drama. The pro-
duction and acting were both of SUI
perlative quality and the audience was
on the qui vive of excitement and
enthusiasm during the entire period
of the performance.
Hassouna. a young and very beau
tiful Arabian girl, lives in the tented
city of her tribe In the desert. Here
comes Captain Cadiere, an officer of
the French navy in pursuit Of his duty.
In religious frenzy the tribe cap
ture and make him prisoner. intending
to kill him at dawn Hassouna has
seen the handsome young Frenchman
and falls in love with him. BY STRAIT
egg she affects his release and escape
and then confesses her deed to her
father. The tribe is enraged at her act
and condemn her to death-choosing
to abandon her in the desert where
she will perish from thirst. She is
rescued by another tribe who take her
to the city of Tangiers and sell her as
a dancing girl to a travelling circus
After many hardships and much ILL
usage at the hands of the brutal man
ager of the circus she is rescued and
taken to the home of the man she
aided in the desert. In scenes which
occur during this period of the thrill
ing drama Nazimova is superb in the
utter abandon of her art--sne becomes
the passionate, fiery young child Of
the desert who does not know the
meaning of the word restrait.
In the scenes in which she does the
dance of the Wells she holds the audi
ence in the palm of her hand-not a
sound to break the rapt attention with
which her work is received 1t is a
picture which arrests the attention
and expands the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
porting the beholder to the heart Of
things Oriental and mysterious and
telling a story of intrigue and pas

The play was taken from "L'Occi-
dent" successful drama by Henri
KistemaeclSer the Belgian dramatist,
and adapted for the screen by June
Mathis and Albert Capellani. The di-
rection was the work of Mr.. Capellani
under the personal supervision of
Maxwell Karger.
