 On September 23, last the couple were in court before Judge John E. Keeler who ordered the man to pay S10 a month for support of the wife and child That same night. through her attorney, Jacob E. Klein, a re- conciliation was effected, and she re- turned to Brooklyn Getting employ msnt as a cashier at the SeviI1 hotel Madison avenue and 29th street, her husband used to wait for her at mid night when she came off duty. That $ some nights.
 Other nights she made the trip to Brooklyn alone and had to camp on the stoop until he came home for he had forbidden the 1andlady to give her after he finally decided to come home, the argument took them to the street. and he dropped her on the sidewalk with 8 few well aimed blows.

YOUNG SCOUT PREVENTS BIG
 SCHOOL FIRE

When rubbish caught fire in a ven- tilator pipe in one of the classroo1ns of Dwight school, Fairfield, yester- day afternoon; and commenced to von1it smoke and flame among forty pupils, only the quick work of John Pelos, whose application of his know1- edge gleaned in the boy scouts pre- vented serious damage.
 While the teacher, Mrs. Dorothy Wheeler, led her frightened charges to safety and gave the alarm to the rest of the. school, Scout Pe1os seized a water cooler and doused the flames with the contents. Two extinguish- CTS had previously been found useless and were discarded by the scout. By the time the fire apparatus from Fairfield and Southport arrived the boy had the blaze out, and was c1ea n- ing up the debris.
 The fire centered in a pipe where young merrynakers on the floor above amused themselves behind teachers backs by tossing wads of paper through an opening into the pipe. The accumulation of this pa per at the bend in the pipe on the floor below and perhaps a stray match furnished an ideal setting for both fire and panic. Damage to pipe and woodwork was slight. But for Scout John Pelos, proud possessor of a long string of trophies earned in scout work, incalculable dama ge might have been done.

SMALL FEEPAID TO BIG LAWYER
States Attorney and Form CT Democratic National Chairman Receive Meagre' AL 1owance for Work in Custodian Dept.

Connecticut's share of the counsel fees distributed among counsel em- ployed by the custodians of alien property A Mitchell Palmer and Francis P Garvin, seems to have been very small measured by what was done in other states. The largest fee that came to Connecticut was paid to George P. Rowen, Stamford. a leading lawyer. The smallest went to Homer s. Cummings, Democratic Ma lawyer in the state. He received only millions. All the Connecticut men Der, received for all their work, but $52,344.
 A single New York Lawyer, James A. Delehanty, received $50, 0,5o0 for services in one or two cases. It ap- pears from the figures of the alien custodian's office that Connecticut lawyers are much lower in their charges than New York lawyers are.
 MT. Cummings fee was for work done in the International Textile com pany case, a Bridgeport property, since acquired by Walter B. Lashar and others.
 His firm also did work for the re- ceiver of the Connecticut Brass & Manufacturing Corporation, but the fee has not been reported.
 Some of the strongest. lawyers in the United States were employed in the alien property cases, and in a num- Der of such Allegations the legal charges were $100,000 GOT more.

American officers of high rank tes- tify that the Russian, Sem nenoff, caus- ed his fellow countrymen to be haul ed by the train load to points where open trenches had been dug. This happened at a half dozen places in Siberia. The killed were 1,5OO, on q single Slaughter ground" These were massacres of Bolshevists. There was no trial. No acts of crime had been committed. Those Russian op- erations against the various revolu- tionary governments were not af- fairs of which the human race can be proud. nor undertakings upon which the other European governments were Justified in spending money. As for Semenoff. his early deportation will be a desirable thing. America has been a refuge for those who have suffered political persecution abroad but Americans will not desire to give shelter or protection to such a man as Semenoff.

FIREMEN SPEND
 BUSY EVENING

Five fires kept the f1remen busy overnight but all of them were ex- tinguished before any serious damage was done
 The first call was for a grass fire in Chamberlains woods.
 The second alarm was for a shed in the rear of 668 Main street which had caught fire from some refuse that was being burned nearby.
 Fire in a clothes closet at 565 Ma pie street was the cause of the third alarm and the damage there was re- ported as slight
 Large clouds of dense black smoke issuing from a, chimney in a house at 39 Milne street was the cause of the next alarm but this proved to be a still
 The fifth and most serious call for the fire department came late at night when a jitney bus caught fire on Iranistan avenue. Damage to the bus was estimated at S20O.

The committee, it was stated by Senator Borah, Republican of Idaho, will rec ommend deportation if the charges of barbarity and in;human bloodshed are upheld against Semenof-
 Arrested in New York.
 It was stated today that Semenofr probably will appear in person be- cusers Now under arrest in New York, Semenoff is technically pre- vened from leaving that state owing to bail bond regulations If the court consents, 1t was said he will appear before the senate committee
 The Legions attack On the wolf of Siberia was a climax to protests filed before the Department of State and the Department of Labor against his admission to this country The protests were based on the charge that Semenoff had condoned the staying of two American soldiers at Posal- skaya In Siberia. Captain E. l.. Earle, of St. Paul. attached to a British mission in Russia, also was to testify against Semenoff. Earle spent many months travelling through the maritime province where Semenoff 8 troops held sway He reported ter rrble scenes of slaughter and cruelty practiced upon the civilian popula- ton.
 International Scope.
 Developm ents thus far in the hear ing indicate that the investigation may become international in it's scope. Col. Charles Morrow. com mander of the American forces at Archangel, revealed during his testi- mony that an outside power pre- noff's army
 Influence from an outside power prevented the American and Czech forces from dfsarming the whole of Semenoff's army early In 1920" said Morrow.

 ''I would rather not say" Morrow replied. "I can assure the commit tee, however, that 1t existed.'

Connley and James Church. The timekeepers dropped are: Samuel Andrews, Samuel Caine and Garry Murphy, who is replaced Road foremen who are dropped from the payroll are: James Walsh, John Bradley, Steve kyer and Steve Jack son. Richard Caldwell, in charge of the Relief department, is replaced.
 The foremen dropped have been on the waiting list for more than two weeks and if there was sufficient work they would have been placed.
 The investigators were let go be- cause the number of applications for aid dropped from 20 day to 200 and consequently the clerical work dropped, necessitating the reduction of the clerical force.
 Supt. Thorne believes that the force will be gradually reduced until it is back to normal The normal staff consists of six clerks. one supervisor aand eight investigators. MT Thorne believes that this change will take effect within two months.

Hill Pleads Guilty
 Sentence Not Imposed

Arraigned before the United States District court in Syracuse, N. Y, on a charge of white slavery. Charles J. Hill of this city, pleaded guilty to the charge and had his case contin- ued so that the judge might take the evidence offered into consideration In the meantime he was paroled in the custody of his counsel, Lawrence J. FfnkIestone.
 He is specifically charged with talk ing a nineteen year old girl from Co hoes to Buffalo and later to Des Moines. Ia-, and in both places living with her as man and wife
 The fact that there was no charge of trafficing in the allegations led the judge to say that 1t might be con side-ed more in the nature of an eiopemeut than case where the ac- cused should be sent to the Atlanta prison.
 Hill is married and has a wife and six children living 1n this city,

AMERICAN TOURISTS
 OCCUPY PALESTINE
Everything Is Done There for Their Comfort, and Many
 More Are Expected.

American tourists are literally oc- cupying Palestine this season. Two thousand of them have already visited the country and 5000 more are eN- pected to arrive.
 IL is estimated that Palestinians will as a result benefit financially by sum of not less than S5OOOOO.
 Every employee in the government of Palestine, from Sir Herbert sam uel. the high commissioner down 10 the humblest railway porter Is mak- ing it his special business to please the Americans. Special trains are run for their convenience private homes are turned over for their accOmmoda- tion because of the scarcity of hotels, and even private cars are placed at their disposal.
 Government agents are also de tailed tO see that no undue advantage is taken of these welcome visitors, so that returning home they will carry with them only words of praise.
 The short stay of the Americans in the Holy Land Is the only fault that the natives find with their guests. They feel that five or six days Is in- sufficient time in which to see all the historical places
 To prove their point they cite an incident that occurred last year while company Of tourists was visiting in Nazareth. One American was heard to ask an accompanying friend the name of the place they were in, the friend quickly looked at a schedule he was carrying. then at his watch and replied: Tt Is now ten o'clock, so IL must be Nazareth"
