Police in Waterbury.

Waterbury, March 1O.-A member of the state police force came to Wa terbury today and is working among the Lithuanians of the Brooklyn dis trict securing information concerning Bernard Montvid, alias Charles Moras, In connection with the Zebris murder case. Montvid, who is under arrest at Wilmington, Del, stopped here for nine days, claiming to be looking for place in which to open a barber shop. He claimed to have come from Taunton, Mass. Frank Mulosky, With whom the man boarded. said today he was suspicious of the man and had about made up his mind to speak to the police about him when the fellow suddenly disappeared A letter has been mailed to Wilmington asking that a photograph of the man under arrest be sent to this city.
 In Waterbury where the police have been lead to believe there were several important clues in reference to the murder mystery, the police are of the firm opinion that Montvid and Melba are the men sought. Montvid, who travelled under the alias of Moras, came to Waterbury, the police have learned, two days after Father Zebrs and his housekeeper were slain. He told residents in the Brook lyn district that his name was Charles Moras and that he was a barber ill Taunton, Mass, but wanted to locate in Waterbury. He called at the sa- loon conducted by Povilaika and Der nota at S04 Bank street, and While drinking inquired where he might get a room with a rich family. He was told that he might get some 1nforma- ton from M. DviIecl<is, who conducts a butcher market at S14 Bank street.
 The butcher market proprietor ln turn referred him to Frank M Muleskey, who conducts a confectionery store at S44 Bank street. The latter took the stranger to his home and gave him q room. He occupied the room from February T to the 2Oth and was very retiring.

DECLARES "Sfx WAR"

Dean of Columbia Law School Replies to Rev. Percy s.
 - Grant.

New York, March 10.-George w. kirchwey, dean of the Columbia Law School, told the Women Lawyers as- sociation here last night that ',rhere is no such thing as sex war" His statement was made in a debate in re- ply to the assertion by the Rev. Percy $. Grant that a male and female class consciousness existed and that essen tially the two sexes are at, war. Mir. Grant advocated the extension of suf- frage to women and the placing of women judges on the bench of the ;n- feriOr criminal courts.
 50 far as differences exist between men and women," replied Dean Kirchwey, they are explained through differences ofindividual temperament I do not believe that the male judge is Wilfully unfair to the woman offender.
 I do not believe a woman judge would be more disposed to be fair in her judgmen but I do know she would have a sympathetic knowledge, which for physiological reasons the man could never hope to attain.

Resolution to Amend Charter With That End in View Will Be
 Presented to Council.

If Mayor Quigley's plans are car ried out resolution will be intro duced into the common council this evening calling for the appointment of separate commissions for the police and fire departments.
 'I think the police department is big enough to have one commission over it," said the mayor this after noon. The services are really dis tinct and different the work < they perform is different and think sep arate commissions should be over them.'E
 Mayor Quigley said he would also have a resolution presented for the appointment of a oiviI service exafn- ming board to examine :, applications for positions on the police and fire departments. "
 The purpose of the meeting is to discuss the charter changes The only disagreement is expected to be on the number of assessors and it is the general opinion that the council will make it three. N

knowledge of the affair than is now known, but his absolute identification of the one particular article referred scenes to clinch the suspicion with out dotlbt and fastens the guilt upon at least one of these two men. When they were first arrested one was armed with four thirty two calibre automatic revolvers and they had pre- viously proved tn emselves to be dead shots. It was with a thirty two cal ibre automatic revolver that Father Zebris was shot. The cord is another link in the chain of evidence that will be used to convict the men. When Father Zebris' body was discovered it lay on the floor, face upwards, with four bullet wounds over the heard. Twisted tightly around his neck was a piece of heavy cord, cutting deeply into the flesh. When Eva Gilman aitis' body was found in the attic two lengths of heavy clothes line was tied around her neck, but in addition to this there was a piece of the heavy actly like the cord around the priests neck. Around her left wrist was tied another piece of similar cord
 Although the police and detectives searched the house from cellar to at tic and peered into every nook and cranny they were unable to find an other piece of cord that corresponded to the kind used to strangle the two victims. They finally came to the con- clusion that the murderers had brought it with them. The discovery that Montvid and Melba had some of his same kind of cord in their pockets seems to prove beyond a doubt that they are the men wanted.
 Wanted by Taunton Police,
 Montvid, who asserts he is a watch dealer and comes from Taunton, Mass. is also wanted by the police in that city for larceny, it being charged that he is one of the gang of thieves who Stole" considerable jewelry there last month His own assertion that he has been there also strengthens the Taunton police departments claim on him.

The writer urged Melba to exercise the greatest l caution and not get caught. Tn case his plans should miscarry, however, and he should be caught the writer warned Melba not to give his own name or to give any information about himself.

T from Galveston announcing that the American bark Pass of Balma ha has been seized by a British cruiser and taken to Kirkwall was the first news received here of the fate of that ves- sell. Fears that she had been held up already had arisen, however, when il was learned that the sailing ship Vincent, which left here for Bre- men a short time before the Pass of Balmaha, had arrived at her destina- ton.
 Both vessels were loaded with cot ton and sailed about thirteen hours apart. It was the first time in fifty years that two of the old time wind tanners which once made the Amer ican flag famous in every port in the world, had sailed almost together from this port The Vincent was to take a course through the English Channel. while the Pass of Balmaha was to pass north of Scotland.
 B. E. Harriss, member of a cot ton concern which chartered the Pass of Balmaha, said today that he had received no further news of the bark other than brief cablegram from her captain announcing that she had been taken to Kirkwall by British cruiser From the message MT. liar riss inferred that this had occurred last Sunday.

Swiss Makers of
Watches Keep Busy

Correspondence OF the Associated Press.)
ZURICH, Switzerland. Sept. 6.-The
exports of Swiss watches in 1914 show a
decrease in value of more than S12, 0OO,0 900,
as compared with the previous year. But
for the readiness with which Swiss man
ufacturers adapted themselves to the
changed conditions their losses would
have been still greater.
Switzerland's watch export industry is
the greatest in the world. Eighty-seven
per cent of all the foreign watches sold
in the various countries of the world
are made in Switzerland. In 1913 there
were exported more than 1900 600
watches of total value of some $S7, =
600, while less than 100000 watches were
sold in the home market that year, not
2 per cent of the total production.
When the war broke out the Swiss
watch industry was brought to a sudden
standstill. The manufacturers were most
pessmistic. There were no orders, there
was no money and credit was difficult
to obtain. But changes in fashion soon
helped them to circumvent the hardships.
Obviously there was no longer any mar
ket for the more expensive watches, so
the makers turned to producing cheaper
articles especially adapted for the mill
tary. a great trade was done in silver,
nickel and gunmetaI cssed watches. with
luminous dials which found a ready sale
among army men. Excepting certain
towns and districts where only expensive
watches had been made. the industry
gradually recovered from the first de-
preston and there are now fewer unem-
ployed workmen than any time since the
war began.
