PAPAS 10 SERVE
TWENTY YEARS
Cordova Greek, Who Shot His Part
ner In Cold Blood, Gets the Lim
it-May Be Tried for Murder.
Judge F. M. Brown, in the district
court, today sentenced Tony Lethe
takis, alias Papas, to serve 20 years
at hard labor in McNeils penitentiary
for the shooting of Angelo Velisaris,
whom he shot on Sept. 26.
Papas shot his partner when the
two men were out shooting at
a target near Cordova. Papas wait
ed until his friend had emptied his
gun and then shot Angelo, robbed
him and left him for dead. The would
be murderer then went to the wife
less station at Whitshed, borrowed a
boat, beached the boat and made ov
erland and was finally captured by
Pete Kai, better known as Russian
Pete, at mile 26, on the Cordova rail
road. Russian Pete then turned the
assassin over to Deputy Marshal
Brightwell.
The |400 stolen from Angelo was
found on Papas when he was arrest
ed. The jury found him guilty in a
few minutes. Judge Brown passed the
extreme sentence upon Papas, who,
however, may be tried for murder if
Angelo dies within a year, as is like
ly.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 18.—The
American Federation of Labor in con
vention here with its representatives
of all trades and from all parts of

more men could be used on the same
work now done by men employed

COTTON POOL
HAS KEN RAISED
WASHINGTON, Nov. 18—Secretary
of the Treasury McAdoo announced
today that a pool of $135,000,000 had
been raised by the reserve banks to
help carry the cotton crop of the
southern planters until the market
shall have adjusted Itself to the new
conditions. The reserve banks will
aid the planters to carry the cotton
until a more favorable market and
many loans are now being made in
the south. The cotton exchanges have
fixed a minimum price of six cents
upon sales and it is hoped that with
heavy foreign buying orders from
England and Germany the market
will soon become normal.
The cotton crop of the past year
was exceptionally large.
