stanislaus ZaIog Writes from Chicago
Solution of the Pauline Monas-
terry Puzzle.

Warsaw. Russian Poland.-The mys-
terry surrounding the theft from the
Pauline Monastery at Czenstochowa
of Jewels and votive offerings valued
at S4,00O,000, which since 1909 has
puzzled the brothers. seems at length
to be solved by the receipt of a letter
from Chicago.
The writer OF this communication
to the monastery confesses that he,
Stanislaus Zalog. was the thief; that
he was then a lay brother, and that
Father Damatius, who is now serving
a sentence in the Siberian mines for
the murder Of his cousin, was not i'm
plicated, as has always been sup
posed.
The letter seems genuine and the
Russian police are taking steps to
have Zalog arrested, but the former
brother defies the police to trace him.
1t appears that Zalog remained at the
monastery more than a year after the
theft and not until Damatius was ar
rested did he escape to America.
The robbery Of the jewels which
decked the ikon of the Virgin and
Child in the Pauline Monastery Gre
ated a great stir three years ago, and
when, in October, 1910, Father Dana
thus was arrested in Austria for the
murder of his cousin, Vaclav Macoch
which crime he cOnfessed-it was
believed that the motive for the deed
was to be found in desire to shut
the mouth of a man who could testify
against him in the matter of the rob-
berry.

TO ARBITRATE CLAIMS.
United States and England Adopt a
New Scheme.

Washington.-In an transformations
way the American and British govern
ments have put into operation a
scheme for the settlement, by arbitra-
ton, of a large number of pecuniary

governments. Already the two gov
ernments, by this arrangement, have
agreed to arbitrate POP claims of
American citizens against Great Bri-
tain and 90 claims of British subjects
against the United States.

BRAIN SMALLER THAN CHlLD'S
Late Or. Musser Shown to Have
Developed Along One Line
Only.

lphia.-Experts at the Wis
ter Institute of Anatomy have just
completed the examination Of the
brain of DR.. John H. Nusser, noted
diagnostician who died recently. They
found that DR.. Musser's brain weigh
ed less than that of a well-developed
child. 1t was 20 ounces lighter than
the brain of Daniel Webster and "a
ounces lighter than that of James
Fisk, the New York gambler who was
murdered a few years ago. Scientists
say Dr. Musser developed along one
line, not broadening out in all lines,
and therefore not fully developing all
parts of the brain.

OILLWYN WANTS TO
BE COUNTY SEAT
Any Effort to Move Courthouse
From Buckingham Will
Be Hard-Fought.
Especial to Tho Times.Dlepatch.1

lSpecihl 10 The Times Dtepatch.l
Arvonia. Va, February 25.-Pros-
pect of the passage Of bill to in
corporate the town OF Dillwyn In
Buckingham county, has already be-
gun to arouse speculation as to how
soon = movement Will be begun 20
remove the county seat from Buck
ingham Courthouse to that town.
DiilWyn is situated seven miIes from
the present courthouse, immediately
Oh the Buckingham Branch Of the
Chesapeake ana Ohio Railway, and is
growing very rapidly. There are now
under construction al least three or
four stores. several industries, and a
number OF dwellings,. ae well as a
handsome church. The town Is not
only great timber market, but ha S
developed in three years into q con-
siderable tobacco market. The tobacco
sales up TO this time have amounted
20 about three-fourths of million
pounds. with prices good.
The attempts to establish a dispcn
sary at Dillwyn have failed, and II is
drought no other attempts VII be
made 10 sell liquor legally there.
II Is known mat as soon as any
effort Is made to remove the county
seat TO Dillwyn from Buckingham a
great fight will be made by citizens
not only of Buckingham village, but
practically all over Buckingham, as
there is opposition OF decided char
ncter TO this removal. The population
OF Diilwyn is now said to be con-
siderably more than that of Bucking-
ham Courthouse. but the cost TO re-
move the many hapdsome public
buildings from the courthouse would
be tremendous, and the taS-Davers
would not stand for IT,
