Wanted by the police of Toledo, Ohio, on serious charges, Peter Sacha, Mrs. Michalena Dustak and two chil- dren, Mary and Josephine, aged four years and two months respectively, were arrested at the Hotel B&loin this forenoon by Detective Sergeant Samuel Bamforth and Detective A, J. Richardson. Socha, who is aged 30, was an expert mechanic earning high wages in a Toledo automobile factory and former boarder in the Dustak home, is alleged to have persuaded Mrs, Dustak to come with him to New Britain. She refused to leave her two children but did, it is claimed, take | the $870 that was in a savings bank, held jointly by her husband and her- self for a rainy day. One of the charges against her is of falsifying re- ceipts, supposed to be a type of forgery under Ohio statutes. A telegram was received by Captain T. W. Grace, acting police chief, this morning from Chief of Policé Henry | J. Herbert of Toledo asking that Socha and his companions be arrested, it they came to New Britain as it was suspected they iIntended to do., Ser- geant Bamforth and Detective Rich- ardson found a trunk at the local baggage room that had been' checked to this city from Toledo and answered the description. They Watched it until an expressman came and took it to the Hotel Beloin. Socha was arrested as he directed the placing of the trunk. Mrs. Dustak was placed under arrest ! in her room. They had registered last night as Mr. and Mrs. Cokach and children. A message to Chief Herbert of Toledo brought a response by tele- phone to hold the two as fugitives from justice and that officers will come at once with extraditian papers. Socha and his fair companion an- nounce the intention of’ fighting extra- dition. The latter pleaded with Ser- geant Bamforth to be tried in this city. From conversation, it is judged that they fear the wrath of |the woman’s husband. Joseph Dustak, and his friends, if they are taken back to Toledo.

Local Man Sought By Wife is Be- lieved to Be in Galicia. Through Secretary Robert Lansing and Congressman P. Davis Oakey, Mayor Quigley has been notified that Walenti Nogic, who left this city on July 24, 1914, to visit his mother in Russia and who has been unable to return because of the war, is some- where in Galicia. This information was sent by the American counsul at Warsaw. Nogic's wife and family are in this city and have been making strenuous efforts to locate him through the of- fices of the American government. the treatment inflicted on us I do not believe they would confine them- selves to verbal remonstrances. If they did we should have to despair of fraternal charity and humanity.” The cardinal adds in a postscript that although the Belgians are de- pressed, they are by no means dis- couraged and few want peace with- out victory.

JACK FROST ROUTS “SILENT SENTINELS” And They’re Not So Silent Anyway as * They Talk With Pedes- trians. ‘Washington, Jan. 11.—Suffragist “gilent sentinels” resumed duty out- side the White House gates today de- spite a freezing wind. They marched over from Congressional Union head- quarters with military precision and took up positions flanking the main entrances. They were taken to their posts by ‘the officer of the day.” President Wilson left the White ‘House for his usual game of golf be- fore the sentinels went on duty but they deplored so he could not fail to see their banners when he returned. Because of the cold weather, the sentinels were changed at frequent in- tervals to-return to headquarters to warm their ‘feet. Because of the cold the suffragists did not hold to their posts as rigidly as they did yesterday but passed up and down the sidewalk in front of the White House. They abandoned their stolid silence of yesterday and discussed suffrage with passersby. Each time the White House automo- bile passed in or out of the grounds the sentinels rushed forward to see whether the president was inside. When the president and Mrs. Wil- son returned from the golf game the" sentinels quickly ran to positions so that they flanked the driveway. The president smiled broadly, but gave no recognition of the pickets. PHENIX I/ODGE INSTALLATION. William Voit Inducted Into Office by 0Odd Fellows. Grand Deputy A. G.
