Seizure of Wilhelmina
Expected in Washington

Washington, Feb. 9.--That the Ameri-
can steamship WilhelmIna would be
seized had been fully expected by the
State Department. A early AS noon
to-day, when cable reports announced
the ship "of the Lizard" and entering
the English Channel, the remark was
made that she woulG Pre- baby be seized
when abreast of Falmouth and con-
vowed thither by her captor.
il is fully understood at the State
Department that tho ship herself
would be released from custody as
soon as her cargo could be taken OF.
The cargo will 90 TO prize court, but
the understanding in advance is that
i; will be sold in Great Britain and
that the funds received therefor will
be used TO compensate the shippers.
this for the reason that the Wilhel-
nina left for European waters before
the German appropriation decree was
made public, -four not being at that
time conditional contrsband.
IL is with regard to the future ship
ment of foodstufs TO Germany or TO
other nations OF Europe for ultimate
receipt by Germany or Austria that
the United States is more deeply con
cerned. II is pointed out that IL the
United States accepts without protest
the judgment os the British prize
courts that all foodstufs bound FOX

SLAY RECTOR and
HIS HOUSEKEEPER
Murderers Shoot Priest in
Study and Strangle
Woman i'm Attic.

New Britain, Conn, FcD. 9.-Robbery
leads IN tho search for a motive for
the murder of the Rev. Joseph Zebris.
Of ST. Andrews Lithuanian Church, and
his bonsekeepcr, Miss Eva Gilman, who
we're ionni dead in the rectory this
morning. Furniture was tipped over.
bureau drawers were in the middle of
the room and even the beds had been
stripped of mattresses and covers.
There is strong feeling here that
revenge may have inspired the slayer
or slayers. The trustees of the church
ridicule the idea and declare there was
no pickering in the parish that would
confirm such suspicion. Father Zebris
had been here fifteen years. lie was
fifty years old. about ten years the
senior OF Miss Gilman.
Two bullets through the priests
heart caused his death. A rope was
twisted about his neck. He was fully
dressed. which gives rise to the be
lief that the murder was committed
last night.
There was d bullet in the house,
keepers right arm, but death had been
caused by strangulation. Her body
was In the attic, Wherc - IS supposed
she fed after discovering the crime
that w3s being done in the priests
study.
The murder OF Father Zebris was
discovered by Miss Anne Gulauskas,
teacher in the parocbial school. She
sent pupil to notify the priest that
the school was not heated. The boy
returned. saying he could make no one
hear. The lad went back with the
teacher. climbed through a cellar win
dow and let Miss Gulauskas in. The
teacher gave the alarm 60 Chief Raw
lir.gs, Of tho local police.
Two years ago Father Zebris re-
ceived letter demanding that he de-
post Sl1 200 at spot on the out
skirts Of the city. The letter referred
to the existence of anarchists who were
determined to xii. unless the money
was forthcoming. Police are using
this letter O.. clew.
While the robbery motive is most
prominent. it is weakened by the fact
that the priest lived in a most simple
manner and was never known to have
any considerable sums in his posses
sion. His congregation consisted
la gely of workingmen and their fam
lilies and the Sunday collections were
seldom Of any great amount. These
he usually deposited on Monday.
