SHAkE-UP IN THE POLICE
 DEPARTMENT. IS EXPECTED
Names of Chief and Sergeant Connected With Pre-
 dictiOns.

With the passage of New Britain's S charter amendments, including the abolition of the board of public safety, it is probable that there will be big shake-up in New Britain's s police department, and the fall of some of the officials is being predict ed in circles that are close to those whose power it will be to wield the axe.
 While it is impossible to secure a gpus1tty1Fs fStHten ent from any officials. 1t is said that Chief William J. Rawlings will be retired for younger mendable service of fifteen years at the head of the New Britain police department. It is said on the best of authority, however, that there will be no change until after the charter amendments are adopted.
 Another officer who is said to be scheduled to lose his gold stripes is Sergeant T. M. Herting, who, it is claimed, will be reduced to the rank of a patrolman. This rumor cannot be verified, but it is even more per sistent than tle one regarding Chief Rawlings.
 Dissatisfaction with the system fol- lowed out by the police departm ent has been expressed recently in high official circles and this is considered as foreshadowing shake-up.

GENERAL SEWERS
 COMMITS SUICIDE
Commandant of Russian Tenth Army Defeated by Germans Reported
 to Have Taken Own Life.

Berlin. March 12,. by Wireless Telegraphy to Sayville, N. Y.-The Frankfurter Zeitung has received a private despatch from Petrograd in timating that General Sievers, the commandant of the Russian Tenth Army Corps, which was defeated in the winter battle at the Mazurian Lakes, has committed suicide. The authority for this seems to be the fact that reports have been in circu lation concerning a mourning service held for the general in @. Lutheran church. ...

Constantinople, Monday March 8, Via Berlin, March II, and London,
 March l2, 12:10 D. m.-The fire of British warships on Turkish positions in the Dardanelles has been well di- rected on the whole. but at times in- efficacious The Turks, on their side, have shown fair degree of accuracy in their craftsmanship and have com pelled British vessels to exercise great caution in approaching their bat teries
 A correspondent of The Associated Press witnessed the bombardment of March ,, directed against the posi- tions at Kilid ~Bahr on the European side of the straits. He could see the fire of either side and note how all the shots fell The vessels engaged were British ships of the Agamemnon type. The firixls, a1tsfftsws3 s4t 11:50 8. na., and lasted until 4:25 D. m., when the British withdrew. Their fire had been rather scattered. Some of it was directed against Dardanus and other points on the European side of the straits, and the material dam age inflicted was only slight.
 At kilid Bahr the British fire was we'll directed on the whole, but it was not very effective. Of about thirty heavy shells ten fell close to the Turkish batteries, while the others mostly fell short. Many of them struck at the waters edge A certain British vessel which ventured within range of the Kilid Bahr batteries was subjected to a well-aimed fire She retreated hastily. The vicinity of these particular batteries was then avoided for the rest of the day. Later in the afternoon two other British vessels came within range of a hidden Turkish battery and had narrow es- capes During ali the afternoon the British vessels inside the, straits were obliged to maneuver actively, because as soon as any one of them stopped it invariably drew a fairly accurate Turkish fire. It was evident that the British were exercising the greatest caution.
 At about 3:45 p. m. several hydro planes of the allies appeared and made a reconnaissance. To the ob- server it was apparent that they dropped bombs on a village on the European side of the straits The retired. when fired upon.

Special to the HeraId.)

Wilmington, Delaware, March 12- whom the crime of murdering Rev. Joseph Zebris and Miss Eva Gilman aitis in New Britain, Conn, on the night of February has practically been fastened, could have been arrest ed in New Britain several weeks ago" The foregoing statement was made to- day by Detective Bamforth, of the New Britain police, to d representa- tive of the Herald" of that city. De- tective Bamforth explained, however. that he could have arrested Montvid only on a charge of blackmail and a suspicion of being the real murderer, for replies to his letters to Rev. Luc- van Bojnowski, demanding money, proved to the auth critics that he was one of the men wanted. He was not molested because the police wanted to work up a stronger case against him and by permitting him to remain free they hoped tosbe able to round up tho entire gang. Had Montvid been arrested it is probable that the Wil- mington murder would never have oc- cQrrGd ana oI1lccF IleflleS WOiltl i1cN- CT have been called upon to sacrifice his life.

 Large photographs of Rev. Father Zebris were exhibited to both murder CTS in their cell rooms yesterday after noon. by the grilling detectives and botNmen hinched perceptibly. Con- tinued cross questioning and a spec tacuIar use of the ph hotograph of the murdered priest finally caused the men to lose their iron nerve and cry. Despite the strictest grilling they would not admit the murder and re- fused to talk of their actions in New Britain, Montvid in particular em- asserting that he was in that city only long enough to change cars The questioning of thetwo men continued today and the steady pounding of the questioners is ex- pected to break the spirit of the prisoners and force a confession from hem.

The Herald's Wilmington represen- l tative writes this. afternoon that it | was through the efforts of Stanley Yasik, a Wilmington undertaken. that | the solution of the murder of the priest and his housekeeper was made ! possible. On last sunday, the day after which Montvid and Melba were arrested for shooting the policemen.

 It was stated this afternoon that | the Conn ecticut officials are prepar- ing to lodge a detainer against Mont | Nid. Melba will be tried for the mur- der of the Wilmington policeman, but, it is argued, if the Connecticut i police can show that they have case sufficiently strong to convict Montvid | of murder in this state, tho Delaware authorities may consent to extraditc him. If not he will be tried for be- ing an accessory of Melba

 Another letter received by Chief Rawlings from Detective Bamforth this afternoon gives practically the same information as is printed in | these columns. He writes that the police are pounding away at the two prisoners trying to force a confession and that one of the duo has taken refuge behind an attempt to feign in sa nifty.
