Hartford, March 24.—The problem | af controlling what the farmers term the deer nuisance was advanced an- er step in the legislature today when the fish and game com:mittee re- ported to the senate a bill to permit anyone to kill or capture deer on ohe's own premises at any time of the year, with the additional right to give written permission to another person to enter upon the premises for the same purpose. The present law for | close season on deer up- till June ¥, 1917 is to remain unchanged. The effect of the bill favorably reported, ' it enacted, would be to bar general shooting of deer, placing the privilege | exclusively with land owners. A shot- | gun only may be used. Al killings | must be reported to the fish and game commission and a heavy penalty would be imposed upon a person who | without the regal rightl\ do s0. | The public heplth and safety com- | mittee reported adversely vn petitions | and bills to recognize. and regulate the practice of chiropraetics and On the bill to estab- lish a commlsfiion to examine chiro- iractors Mr. Griswold or Beriin said that as the governor had declared commissions, the &omittee could not see its way ciear i&recommena the commission asked | Bills of a similar import were | also reported adversely in the senate u,‘[;d rejected.

Admits His Guilt. Montvid stood up straight in the pen while Clerk Andrew read the darge naming him as the murderer of Rev. Joseph Zebris. When the clerk read the mame “alias Charles Moras” the accused interrupted and gaid: ““No, Montvid.” At the conclusion of the reading or t?¢ charge Montvid said: “That's right, I'm guilty.” Charged with, murdering Eva Gil- manaitis by strangulation he made the same reply: | “That's right, guilty.” Under the state laws a man charged with murder cannot enter a plea of guilty without the comsent of his counsel and a full knowledgé of what | he is doing, so Judge Meskill ordered | a plea of “not guilty” entered.

Tells of Confession. Detectlve Sergeant Bamforth was then called to the stand. He spoke in an unusually low voice. “Do you know Bernard Montyid?” { he was afil«ed “L do, ves.” “While in Delaware did he say any- thing to/you regarding his connec- tion with the murder. If so were there any threats or inducements of- fered him or did he speak voluntar- ily asked the prosecutnr. ‘He spoke voluntarily.” “What did he say?” On March 12 I talked to him at Newcastle and he told me to the ef- fect that three others and himself met in a Main street saloon in New Britain and planned to go to Rev. Joseph Zebris' house to get some money. They went down Church street in single file and three went in while he stayed outside and watched. He was later told that Father Zebris had been killed,” was the text of the detective’s testimony. Asked if he wanted to say any- thing Montvid replied in the negative and he was at once bound over to the June term of the superior court | without bonds. Remembers Officer Richardson. Whent Montvid was interviewed at the police station by the local officers he was asked if he remembered Of. ficer Richardson. He replied ‘‘Yes, I think I do.” Officer Richardson lives only two houses from where Montvid boarded on Arch street and since developed that he ex- he found he was a policeman. He asked several people what kind of an officer he was and if he worked days or nights. Keep Close Watch. The authorities kept a strict watch dver Montvid during his stay here! Lland no one was permitted to inter- view him or talk to him except the police. Detective Sergeant Bamforth was very reticent on the case in ques- tion, but he spoke freely of the Krakas trial. He said he was great- ly, surprised, as were others:in Wil- mington, when it took -the jury al. most three hours to convict Krakas. He said that Krakas was quite un- concerned when the verdiect was brought in and that Montvid was not told of the decision. It is understood that there is little grounds for a new trial to be granted Krakas and if it is denied him it is stated that he will be speedily sen- tenced and will probably hang by May 1. Take Finger Prints. The local police department’s new finger print system was used today for the first time, impressions being taken of Montvid's fingers. Hartford Jail. this morning Mont- vid, guarded by Chief William J. Rawlings, State Policeman Robert Hurley and Sergeant Bamforth, was hustled into Interpreter Malinowski's walting automobile and whirled away to Hartford where he was lodged be- hind the bars at the county jail to await his trial next June. There was a good sized crowd on Commercial street when the prisoner was brought out but there was not the slightest sign of disturbance, only curiosity be- ing shown by the crowd. Was Montvid Grilled Today. The mysterious manner in which Detective -Bamforth has conducted the case has given rise to much spec- ulation today. He absolutely refused to permit anyone to talk to Montvid and also declined to permit some peo- After the brief hearing had been concluded this morning the prisoner was brought into the detective's office where he was closeted with Sergeant Bamforth, State Policeman Hurley and other of- ficials for a long time. Just what transpired during this time is un- known, but it is thought that the ac- cused was given another grilling in an effort to make him tell everything he knows of the murder case. Priest Killed First. Tt is generally understood that the two other parties beside Krakas re- ferred to by Montvid in his confession are merely mythical beings, and un- less he told who they were today he has nét done so, simply saying they were strangers to him. All of the of- ficers refuse to discuss the confession but it is thought that it was most complete. The feeling is that Mont- vid and Krakas went to Father Zebrls’ house alone on the night of February 8 and were admitted by the priest who took them into his parlor. Then, after a short preliminary talk about funds he was shot and killed. Then it was that the housekeeper appeared on the scene and was murdered. Admits He is in Bad Box. When asked a few simple questions this morning Montvid answered quick- ly and apparently fully realized his position, for he admitted that he is in a ‘“pretty bad box.” He says his brother is a Lithuanian newspaper man in Chicago but he is not in that business himself. Taken to At 11 o’clock COLLECTOR 1S DUPED, Contas Hickaloskas, of 9 Conner- ton street, -called on Frank Zakobenis today to collect a bill for $172.53. Pre- suming that Zakobenis was going to pay him, Mickaloskas signed a re- ceipt for the amount. Mickaloskas told the prosecuting attorney this after- noon that Zakobenis appropriated the receipt but refused to pay him the money and put him out of his house. The prosecuting attorney is invest- igating the matter. NO SUPPLIES FROM NEUTRALS.

Y.—Reports from the Carpathian Mountains in- dicate that one of the greatest and most sanguinary battles of the cam- paign is now raging. A special cor- respondent of the Lokal Anzeiger telegraphs: “The great bloody battle s now in full swing in the Carpathians. It has not reached a point where a definite judgment can be passed on tie events at any point. , The conflict is likely to te waged some days yet, with equal fierceness on both sides Przemysl Army Expected. “The next few days probably will see the released Przemysl investment army engaged in this struggie. “Conditions to the nortn of the Vistula river and along the Bug and Narew Line appear to have changed little or not at all Tecently.

London,“3:38 p. m.—The following account of' ves- | terday’s events at the front was given out this afternoon at the war office: ‘A division of the Belgian army has made progress on the right bank of the Yser. Another has captured a German trench on the left bank. "At| Hartsmanns-Weilerkopf we captured the first line of trenchés referred to in the preceding , communication; like- wise a second line. On this section of the front our troops are organizing themselves, on the further side of this second line. Within a short dis- tance of the summit we captured some prisoners, including officers.” German Official Report. Berlin, March 24, by Wireless Telegraphy to Sayville, N. Y.—At army headquarters today the following ctatement was given out: “In Champagne there were only ar- tillery duels. In the Forest of Le- Pretre, northwest of Porft-A-Mousson, the enemy attempted to win back ground gained by the Germans but was repulsed. New attacks by the enemy northwest of Badonvillers and on Reich Ackerkopf wvroke - down under the German fire. Fighting is in progress at Hartmanns-Wellerkopf. ‘“‘German troops are pursuing the retreating Russians northward of Memel, East Prussia. They captured near Polangen 500 Russians and took three guns and -three rapid firers. Quantities of cattle, horses and goods were btolen by the Russians. Near Laugszargen, southwest of Tauroggen, and northeast of Mariampol Russian | attacks were repulsed with heavy losses for the enemy. Northwest of Ostrolenka several Russian attacks failed. Here we captured twenty officers, more than 2,500 men and five machine guns. Eastward of Plock several charges of the enemy failed. “The German army expresses cor- dial thanks to the gallant garrison at Przemysl which, after four months of defense full of sacrifices could be overpowered only by hunger.” Remove Heavy Batteries. London, March 24, 9:45 a. m.—Of- ficial announcement has been made in Petrograd, says the correspondent of Reuters Telegram company that the Germans since Sunday have re- moved all but four of their heavy batteries from before Ossowetz. The Russian statement adds: “A couple of 42-centimetre howitzers were abandaned after the first battle, one of which was damaged by our fire. ‘Shots from the howitzers failed to crush the masonry of the fortress. Superiority in artillery fire was d i tinctly on our side. Not only was the German attack far from endan- dering the Ossowetz forts but the enemy failed to dislodge our infan- try from its field works. “In an Austrian attack on the 19th on the front in the vicinity of Ro- pitza the enemy opened a hurricane fire with 12-inch howitzers under cover of which twenty enemy batal- lions, at four o'clock in the mormng.{ attagcked our forces which were in greatly inferior strength. Our in- fantry opened flre with extremely careful aim at the enemy who, sup- ported by reserves, approached to within 200 paces of our trenches. His reserves were eXhausted at nine o'clock and the enemy withdrew, leaving the area covered with his killed and wounded.” LAST BIBLE CLASS SESSION.
