INTERPRETATION OF WILL SOUGHT Doubt As to Who Inherits Property of Resov-
 sky.

The first case in Connecticut where the office of the Alien Property Gus todian appeals to the Superior Court for interpretation of a will is that of Louis ResoIsky, who daed in this city in 1918 and left a will on the same piece of paper on which his wife, Julia, drew up hers The case is also unSque ir that it Is the only one in Judge MiIler's office where will of a living person is filed with those who have died
 The Will is so drawn that its mean ing cannot ba interpreted and there is doubt as to whether the wife gets the property ul1condSiona1Iy or whether she merely gets life use of il and that on her, death it goes to resa- lives in Hungary
 The Alien Property Custodian has notified his Connecticut representa- trVe- Attorney Frank E. Jamrozy o1 Stamford, to bring action in the Su- perTor Court to discover the exact meaning of the will The estate fn- wolves about $S, 8e1

FOX TOWERS
 OVER BROWN Selectnan's Story Differs Greatly From
 Opponents.

Standing erect to his full height of six feet and doubling his fists, former Charles S Fox of Fairfield showed in the Superior court this morning how he is alleged to have time of the dispute with Brown in 1916. Attorney Jacob B. Klein. coun- sel for Brown, brought out the 6aHt that Fox weighed about 225 at the time of tho trouble while Brown is g1r11ch shorter and weighs about sixty pounds less.
 FoHs story of the trouble differed considerably from that related by Brown. Fox said there was some dts- pute about the prices of tires and when Fox saw Brown reaching to- ward a. drawer in which there was a gun, he bent Brown back in the lat ters chair
 He denied skipping Brown in the face or kicking him. Fox also denied that he called Brown 8 liar. Fo1 claimed his arm was badly bruised as a, result of the blow received when Brown threw a heavy stick at him.
 Fox admitted he had trained ir athletics and that he had boxed but Judge Curtis refused to allow further questions regarding Fox's career fr the ring. Brown claims he was badly hurt as a result of Fox's assault and he asks $3,000 damages. Brown owns a garage in Fairfield and is also clerB of the fire department there. Int trial was still on at press hour.

 We stand helpless said the bIshops ~as we read reports of the terors of BolsheTism in Russia and elsewhere, and the awful passions of the mobs from below Much of it is the reaction from autocracy and un- just and unmerGful rule of the past But did not our little taste of mob power in Boston last winter suggest to us the restless and law1ess forces that are hidden under the crust ot our snug content2 What is true here is as true in every city and town in this country

 They are unable to say when the vacation will end but believe the men will return to work when the demands for increased wages and an eight hour day have ben adjusted.
 The baggage room and platform al the local station were piled up with parcel post matter which arrived this morning. Many shippers are now using this method of forwarding goods to customers.

WAGE DEMANDS UNLESS LIVING COSTS ARE CUT

Demands for an increase of wages unless the manufacturers reduce the cost of living within a short time will be made on all employees of metal workers in this city by a committee appointed at a mass meeting held in Machinists' hall last night
 Speakers at the meeting declared that the high prices were caused by an artificial shortage of commodities created by the manufacturers of the United States. Extracts from gov ernment reports showing that rather than allow the cost of goods to de- crease the manufacturers had caused a large amount of usabIe material to be destroyed fearing that if it was put on the market prices would fall, were read
 The new scale of wages proposed al the meeting are s1 an hour for tool and die makers. go cents an hour for machtn4sts and a 30 per cent. raise for unskilled workmen-
