Warns Velincius, Velinciug pitied his unfortunate yvoung cousin and offered her a home with his family. She accepted anid secured a position at the Stanley Works, where she is employed at the present time, It was after Smolinsky's first de- parture, that Velincius received the first letter threatening his life. Smolinsky wrote to him again after his second departure, this time writ- ing that he would come back here soon and “fix’’ all of his enemies, his wife, Father Zebris and Velincius included. The letter was written on red paper and included a paper model of a large bullet. Priest’s Life Threatened. About the same time, Father Zebris received a similar letter from Smolin- sky. He telephoned the news to Velincius. His letter carried a Cali- fornia post mark, as did that received by Velincius. As the latter was criticized strongly in his letter for harboring the deserted wife, he asked * Mrs. Smolinsky to leave His home. She moved to the home of Mawrie Newulis of 26 Silver street. Last week Newulis’ life was tireatened in a let- ter he received from Smolinsky in California. The letters have been turned over to the police. ‘Woodchopper Arrested. The arrest of a man giving his name as Frank Young, aged forty, at Greenwich Jast night had a suspicious twist; inasmuch as when captured the man was armed with an axe and a revolver and was hiding in the vesti- bule of St. Mary's church. When ar- rested Young told a rambling story and informed the police that he had been in New Britain at the time Father Zebris and his housekeeper were mur- dered. The man was discovered by James McCord, sexton of the church, and was crouched in the vestibule minus his coat and shoes. The sexton gave the alarm and later the man was cap- ture@ after a chase. When closely examined Young denied having any intent to harm Rev. Father E. L. Sullivan, pastor of St. Mary’s church at East Port Chester, but said he went into the church to rest. He ad- mitted being in jail' before. One feature of the man’s story co- incides with a, report in this city last Tuesday which said that on the night before the murder a strange man in his stocking feet and without coat or vest was seen wildly pounding on the door of Father Zebris’ home. Story Inconsistent. In the Greenwich court this morn- ing Young was charged with va- grancy and it was explained that he is a woodchopper, and that he had just come in from the country. This ‘counted for an axe that Young was carrying, and the revolver which he had in a valise, when he was ar- rested last night. Young gave a | rambling story of his travels and claimed to have been in New Britain early last week. The police, how- ever, decided that his story was in- consistent and was due to his condi- | tion and pressed only the .vagrancy charge which brought a fine of $5 from ! the court. No reference was made in court to Young’'s claim that he was in New Britain about the time Fa- ther Zebris was killed. The reason he gave for being in the church was that he was tired and went in there to rest. o Nary a Thing”—Chief, Asked this afternoon if therec were vy new developments in the mur- der case, or any new clues that could be made public, Chief Willlam J. Rawlings replied: “Nary a thing.” Detective Sergeant Samuel Bam- forth also declared that there was nothing new in the case. State Police Still Here. All hope has not been abandoned, however, for the state police are still working hard on the case and this afternoon one of the detectives and un _interpreter set off in an automo- kile, while Officer “Ted” Malone and another sleuth went in another direc- tion on foot. . While the parish house has now been thoroughly ransacked from cel- lar to garret and every possible piece of evidence collected, the police are still in po: ssion and will continue to | keep close tabs on it for some days 1o come. Usual masses were held at St. An- | drew’s church yesterday and were at- unecarthed school there. resumed The parochial its regular schedule ginning to move along in their usual order. Interest Already Waning, It will be one week tonight since Father Zebris and Eva met their tragic fate, vet the solu- | tion of the mystery seems as far away | | 2s ever. However, public interest in the case is already seen to be wan- | ing and once more the people are beginning to think of other things. | Again the questions of ‘“Who's the | postmaster?” and “what about the war?' are being asked and, unless | somte new. and unexpected develop. | ments occur within the next few days | the murder mystery will cease to in- | terest the populace as other ‘“seven | day wongders” have done in the past. | John Codino,and Miss: Lena were married this morning at | Peter’s church. !

Washington, Feb. 15.—Investigation work | of all charges of influences at for and against the administration ship bill was ordered today by the senate. Administration democrats and fili- bustering republicans unanimously voted for a resolution to look into shipping trust and to inquire into any negotiations by administration offi- cials to buy belligerent ships. Marshall Names Committee. Vice President Marshall at once appointed Senators Walsh, Simmons, Reed, Burton and Weeks, three dem- | ocrats and two republicans, to make the inquiry. There are only fifteen working days left to the sixty-third congress. Some senators were of the opinion that such an investigation, likely to be prolonged, made improbable the pas- practically assured an extra session if the president adhered to his deter- mination to press the measure. Amended By Committee. Senator Burton’s original resolu- tion to have the senate inquire wheth- er there had been any negotiations by administration officials looking to the purchase of ships of belligerents was amended by the committee, which provides expenses for investigation to include inquiry into charges of oppo- sition to the bill by the sg-called ship- ping trust, and in that forfm Was passed unanimously. While the senate was acting Sec- retary McAdoo was notifying Senator Fletcher that he was preparing all the information on the subject called for in the original resolution. The pas- sage of the resolution was preceded by .a vigorous speech by senator Reed in defense of the secretary of the treasury and renewed charges that shipping interests had lobbied against the bill. POLLUTION OF TIDAL WATERS OF STATE Numerous Bills Regarding Matter Now in Hands of Committees of General Assembly, Hartford, Feb. 15.—Pollution of in- land and tidal waters of Connecticut will be a subject under extended con- sideration by the legislature by rea- son 'of numerous bills" now in the hands of committees, and through recommendations to be made in the forthcoming report of tne state board of health which was given authority to investigate the subject by a law passed in 1913. An outline of this report is given in the monthly bul- letin of the state board, for January, iesued today. A central board charged as its primary duty with the general welfare of the state as a whole, will be ad- vocated; to deal with the problems of sewage disposal which arise from the practice of one municipality of dis- charging its wastes into the nearest waterway to be carried to the door- way of its neighbor, ‘Such a prac- tice,” says the bulletin in outlining the report, “cannot be carried on in- definitely. The expense involved in, the construction of sewerage systems with no thought for necessary changes in the future is a waste of money.” A supervisory central board, it is pointed out, can eliminate much of this waste. Under authority given the state board a complete sanitary survey of all important streams was made last summer and fall. As a result marked advances have been made in work- ing out the problems. ‘“‘One point is evident,” says the bulletin, “namely, that the amount of purification re- quired and the type of plant to be installed can only be determined in each case by a study of local condi- tions. On account of the increasing population it will always be physical- ly impossible to maintain waterways in their original and natural condi- tion of purity, but a reasonable degree of cleanliness should nevertheless be demanded, so as ot to cause offense to public decency or injury to public health, NEW DETECTIVE HERE.
