Youth Collapses in Theater Short Time After Quaf. fing Paint at Hunter Road Home.

Quick action by member. of the police department Dr. Edward Cur ran and internes and others at New Britain General hospital probably saved the life Of Lawrence Durbar Of ls Hunter Road, who drank an almost deadly poison last night.
 Lawrence was picked up in the Lyceum theater by police, taken to the police station and then to the hospital in an unconscious condi- { tion. suffering from drink of red lead. an ingredient of some red paint, which he drank thinking 1t was wine. It was the young mans 17th birthday anniversary. 4 friend had taken a small quantity of maroon paint to his home on Hunter Road where his father stanislaw Durbar was going to do some painting on the house. Another friend came in and seeing the paint, thought it was wine and poured out two glasses with the remark that they would drink to Lawrence's birthday. AL though Lawrence says he never drinks hooch, he took one glass of the supposed wine and drank two large swallows, before he realized he had gotten something different than what he expected. The friend did not drink any.
 Later Lawrence went to the theater and, according to his story, when he sat down everything went black. He got up and tried to stagger out and fell over uncon- scious. Thinking he was intoxi- cated the theater officials notified the police.
 Taken to the police station in the police ambulance, officials there found the trouble was something other than intoxication and Police Surgeon Curran was called The sick boy recovered into a sort of semi-consciousness for a. few sec onds. long enough to state that he had drunk some red lead on his birthday. Again unconscious he was taken to the hospital where Dr. Curran. two hospital internes, Miss Dunn the night supervisor and two orderlies gave him emergency treat ment. working strenuously for al- most an hour to save his life. Dur ing the treatment he revived for a few minutes while the police were there but refused to tell his name or give any information. Later dur Ing another brief semi-conscious pe- riod he told his name and ad- dress.
 This morning he had partially re- covered from the effects of the poisoning and seemed on fair way to complete and speedy recovery.
 Durbar Is employed at the Stan ley Works as a die maker.

 DISCARDED BY FAMILY
Fatalities in Hartford Unaccounted for But Another Who Ate
 Same Meal Lives.

Hartford, Oct. s LP - The Mather street poisoning case which resulted in the death of q father and child and the critical illness of the mother, became increasingly a mystery today through a statement made by Mrs. David J.. Mairson of S7 Williams street, sister Of Mrs. Brooks K. Parker, the mother, who is now at the Hartford hospital.
 Mrs. Mairson said the theory that there was poison in the cake which the Parker family ate Sat- urday evening should be discarded as there was a fourth person who ate portion of cake. who left for New York soon afterwards and has returned and who was not made i'll.
 MT. Parker died early yesterday morning. The child, Helena, five, was dead when the poison cases were discovered.
 While awaiting results of the chemical analysis Of organs of the dead man and child, further inves- tlgation was made today by Ser geant koenig and Medical Exam iner Henry N. Costello at the Parker home.
 Some attention was given to the gas heater in the kitchen as the theory has been advanced that carbon monoxide gas might have been the cause Of the deaths. The medical examiner was disinclined 10 give this possibility much cred ence.

FILIAL DEVOTION WINS
 IN DISPUTE WITH LAW
Persistent Children Sue ceed in Bringing
 Mother to U. S.

Left alone in her native home in Cologne, Germany, Mrs. Wilhelmine Mai, 62 years old, waited hopefully while her six children in this coun- try were struggling with obstacles to bring her to the family freside.
 Not familiar with the immigration rules the family appealed to Richard O. Schaefer, who had succeeded In bringing the children to this country. The mother was the only one who was not accepted. The physicians at the consulate said she had anafflic- ton of the throat, and they advised the consul not to grant her a pass port
 After hearing this Mir. Schaeter went 10 the Americanization director and asked his advice on the matter. It was his understanding that no law existed which would prevent anyone from emigrating to this country because of her ailment The director agreed with him and agreed to write to the American consul at Cologne regarding her case. The first obstacle was overcome when she was allowed another hearing. The protest was granted and she sailed for this country.
 Upon her arrival she was detained at Ellis Island, New York, when the authorities were skeptical as to her means Of support, and once again MT. Schaefer was called upon. He with the eldest son, Hermann, ap- peared before the emigration com- mission and explained the cause yesterday.
 She was granted a release and ar rived in this city last night to join her children for the first time in about a year.

 RACE WITH DETECTIVE
Youth Fails to Outsmart and Outrun Sergeant
 O'Mara
(Continued on Page 11f

Sergeant P. J. OMara's ac- quaintance with the boys of the city whose misdemeanors occasion ally bring them into police custody stood him in good stead yesterday afternoon when he saw a lad with a group on Grove street and did not recall ever having seen him before. The boy, who appeared to be about Is years of age, said his name was John Smith, but the sergeant doubted him, and asked him where he lived. The address given was 64 Oak street. and the sergeant asked him where Oak street is. Then the fun began.
 Why, you know, don't you?" the lad countered.
 Yes, I do, but I want to find out whether you do or not" said the sergeant.
 Well, it's just like that" the lad evaded.
 The sergeant thought it adrisa- ble to bring him to the police sta- ton for questioning. and as they were walking along, the boy made a dash into a driveway and for several minutes he led the ser geant a merry chase through back yards, over fences and under clothes lines.
 With freedom in sight, and his pursuer rapidly tiring from the ex- ertion. the boy got one leg over a board fence and was about to drop out of sight when the ser geant seized him by one leg. For what seemed an eternity to both, the boy hung face downward on one side, and the sergeant hung on to his foot with one hand. John Smith" weighs about 15o pounds and the sergeants strength was taxed to the limit, but he held on grimly until. working with one hand free, he scaled the fence and the lads attempted escape was a flat failure.
 At the police station, the boy said he had been in an orphanage in Manchester, N. H., and had come to New Britain a few days ago. He and another boy intended to go south but the other lad changed his plans. Probation Off, cer Connolly is taking charge of the case for further investigation.
