ANOTHER DISPUTE
ON zEBRIS AWARD
Wilmington People Active in

SOME MONEY STILL UNPAID

Pawabroker, Court Interpreter
and Police No. Satisfied
With Share.

Wilmington, Del. people
cannot agree as to the division Of
that part OF the reward for the arrest
and conviction Of the murderers OF the
Rev Joseph Zebris, at New Britain.
February s, and the matter has come
back To Judge futile of the superior
court te appertion the $500 between
three parties in Wilmington. Judge
futile received q visit from Police
Sergeant Green, secretary Of the vii
mington police pension fund. and also
received kilograms from the attorney
representing Adolph Markell, one OF
the Wilmington claimants 10 the re.
ward, notifying the judge that the VIII
mington parties could not reach an
agreement.
After a long hearing few weeks
ago. Judge futile divided the $1,000
reward offered for the murderers to
the parties who had done the most
towards the capture OF Peter krakas
and Bernard Montvid, the men who
murdered the New Britain priest and
his housekeeper, Miss Eva Gilman
aitis. The judge gave 5000 TO In
terpreter NJ. R. Malinowsky OF New
Britain who had worked on the case
for the states attorney, $500 to Otto
Brother and his wife of New Britain,
for furnishing information of the sus-
pieious conduct of the murderers, and
81 400 to be divided among the Will
mington police pension fund, Adolph
Markell and John Pietuszka, a viii
mingto ncourt interpreter who first
suggested that the men arrested in
Wilmington were connected with the
New Britain murder.
1t has been impossible for the VIII
mington people to agree on the divi-
sion of their $1.400 and the police
commissioners of that city and the
interested parties had long confer
enee but could not come to salts
factory decision. Pietuszka would not
accept $100 for the small part he
played in the conviction, Markell was
not satisfied to take $500 and let the
police have $780, and so the matter
has been sent back to Judge futile,
who, when he made the award, said
he would divide it if the Wilmington
PARTIES could not agree.
In the conference it developed that

Montvid visited the shop. Markell
notified the police afterward that two

The will of Sylvester G. Durham,
late president of the Travellers In
suranee company, has been filed for
probate before Judge Marvin II is
of interest that Mr.. Durham, who
was a lawyer. drew the document
which is in his own handwriting,
under date of September Is, last.
There are three executors. the widow,
Mary A. Durham; the son, Donald
and the Travellers Bank & Trust com
pany. One of the executors said that
the document was brief, containing
only a half dozen paragraphs and
its clearness made it certain that its
meaning would never cali for any
doubt in its Interpretation.
The document contains only three
requests outside the family, one OF
81 600 to a faithful servant in the
household and two of $4,000 each
to personal friends. The residue Is
left to the family which includes the
widow, son and grandchildren. There
are four trusts under the will, one
each for the lifetime of the widow
and son and the others for the grand
children. There are direct gifts To
members of the family also. Mrs.
Durham receives the real estate.
No attempt was made TO estimate
the value of the estate, which is large,
Mr. Durham owned considerable
Travellers stock.
The court admitted the win and
Charles L. Spencer. and Henry w.
Ewing were appointed appraisers.

VEGETABLES BY WEIGHT.

The efforts of the United Master Butchers and Grocers Association of Connecticut to introduce the sale of vegetables by weight deserves the heartiest support of the public. Con- corning this matter the Bridgeport Standard editorially says that although the bill advocated by the association for enforcing the substitution of weight for measure was not favorably acted upon this year at Hartford, it IS to be hoped that by another session there will be a better understanding of the inn portance of this proposed new depart ure.
 Selling by weight is surely a much more accurate and scientific method than selling by measure and the pGr- chaser is guaranteed more uniformity in the amount received for his money. The only real argument to be brought against the charge would seem to be that it involves upsetting an old system and inaugurating a new one, but this temporary inconvenience to dealers should be more than made up ill the long run by the added confidence of the public.
 The dishonest dealer who cuts prices and makes up the difference with short measure frequently brings the honest dealer into difficulties with old GUS toners. Much of this sort of trouble could be obviated if the sale by wei yht were standardized. Reputable dealers should have the right to the protection that would be offered under the new system and certainly the public would have everything to gain by the change.
