manufacture of the Browning gun is
being installed rapidly and imme-
diately upon the setting up of several

ALLEGED SLAYER
OF PRIEST Was
WORKING IN CITY

away from his house when he was
set upon by two thugs who demanded
the money. A struggle followed and
the priest fought SO strenuously that
one of the bandits shot him dead.
The cries for help and the noise of
the death grapple coupled with the
people to the aid of the priest. but too
late. He sank to the ground and the
assassins made good their escape,
but without any loot.
The case created a furore in the
Indiana city, but after being a seven
days wonder, the matter faded from
the public prints and little was either
done or heard about it afterwards. I:
was put down by the Gary police de-
partment as being another of the
many unso1ved mysteries and as such
allowed to slide.
Captain Cronan, read about the case
in the Associated Press dispatches of
the date and ever since has had the
crime among the collection which he
has persistently worked on.
When Schramm came to Bridgeport
last fall he was seen by Captain Gro
nan, and marked as being a man who
at some time or another would re-
ceive more than passing attention
| from him. HIS actions were
| watched, his friends questioned and
soon it became apparent that
Schramm had a past.
He could not sleep at night He
was given to fits of dependency dur
ing which he would confide in init
mates the fact that he had a great
trouble on his mind He avoided
church, priests and ministers, or any
| thing that savored of religion, not
Wwithstanding the fact that he was one
of the most ardent Catholics up to the
time the murder of Father Keyser
| was committed
| Captain Cronan sent such a detailed
description of Schramm, his actions
| and travels since leaving the Hoosief
city three years ago, that the Gary
authorities sent forward a warrant
upon which the arrest was made to-
day at Schramm's home by Detec-
| tive-ieutenant Dooley and Detective
Sergeant Bray
Schramm denied any knowledge of
| the crime at first, but weakened and
admitted that he had knowledge of
the murder, but catching himself
later said that he had merely read
details of the tragedy.
His statements were so contradic-
tory and his motives for assuming
aliases so mysterious coupled with the
fact that he has admitted to many
the fact that he was mixed up in the
murder Of the priest, that Detective
Captain Cronan feels confident that,
at last the long search for the assassin
of the Polish priest is at an end, and
now Schramm will have to go back
to Gary to answer the charge of muir
! dering Father Kayser.

ON STAND
IN u. S. PROBE

Chicago, Feb. 1s-Nelson Morris,
head of Morris & Co, the packers, took
the witness stand today before Judge
Samuel Olschuler, arbitrator in the
demands of the packing house en-
ployes for the eight hour day and
higher wages.
Mr.. Morris first was asked by Frank
J. Walsh, attorney for the men,
whether he had ever considered the
demand of his employees. Morris said
he had and that the decision had been
reached that such matters should be
settled by arbitration. He outlined
the benevolent and welfare depart
ment of the company and remarked
that many employees did not paTtici-
pate.
1T seems to be a failing of human
nature to care more for the immedi-
ate present than for the future" he
commented.
He said that for several years en-
ployes had been guaranteed mini
mum of 40 hours employment a week
and were paid for 40 hours whether
they worked it or not.

CUT YOUR FIRE
WOOD FOR NEXT
WINTER At ONCE
Coal Situation in Bridgeport
Next Winter As Bad AS
Present.
FEW SHIPMENTS OF
FUEL HAVE ARRIVED
Industrial Situation Fair
Today But Supply is Still
Very Short.

After conference with officials at
Washington, State Fuel Administrator
Thomas W. Russell, in letter to Lo-
cal Administrator Carl F. Sdemon says
the domestic coal situation will be as
serious next winter as it was this sea-
son and indicates that no coal what
ever will be given to small towns. In
this respect the State Administrator
urges small-town residents to cut up
and store enough f1rewood this sum-
mer to last them all next winter.
Russell declares that after discuss
ing the situation with higher officials
Connecticut cannot expect 80 or 95
per cent. of the coal next year that
was received this year, which amount
was far below normal. In his letter
he says: I'm view of the fact that we
have not been receiving enough coal
| for domestic needs it is very apparent
to me that we shall probably have at
| least as serious a situation for next
winter.
81 therefore suggest" he continues,
that as result of the above fact too
much emphasis cannot be placed upon
the cutting of wood for fuel. I believe
that especially in small towns they
should make preparations to secure
enough wood for next winter without
receiving any coal at ALL I believe, I"
Russell goes on, that it is going to be
very difficult to secure enough coal
for the larger cities and industrial
centers, as at the present time, the
cost of firewood due to transportation
and other charges is almost prohibi-
tive"
The domestic situation in Bridgeport
is making little progress. Shipments
have increased during the last week,
but the supply on hand IS not sufficien
to care for the demand Yesterday
one barge and four carloads of hard
coal were received

sideration at their weekly meeting

hatch.
