Alex Olsavsky, now serving a thre

arraigned before Judge Coughlin at
today's city court sesfdon charged
vdth the theft of $S85 over ft ye vr ago
from Alex Kortesh of 690 Bostwich
avenue, his landlord at the time.
Frobable cause was found and lie wan
held for superior court under bonds of
1,500. About a ,montH of his pres
ent sentence remains to be erved.
The peeond arraignment of Olsav
irtky Is-a result of clever work by De
tective Sergeant Fox, who worked up
the case against him following, his
first arrest. ; The disappearance of
K ortoeh's money from the stocking in
which it w placed following Its
withdrawal from .the bank and pre
ceding payment-upon , real estate sale,
long remained a mystery to the -police.
Olsavwr.ky was under suspicion at the
time but no conclusive evidence could
be secured.
About two months ago Detective
S?rgeant Fox learned that a msn an
swering the accused's description had
ben sending milch money to the old
country under another name from
Derby. The amount was in excess of
whRt OIsavsTsky was known to earn sue

While" the Hungarian, residents of
this city are vitally interested In the
prospects of, war, those In touch with
the popi lar sentiment -of the people,
declare thati very few. of the Hun
garian residents of the city would re
spond to a. call .If issued by the Austria-Hun
garisn. They expressed
themselves doubtful whether there
would be even a response for a call
for fuadj. - , i' -
..John iRenchy, who is one of the
most prominent Hungarian residents
of the city sts-ted today, that although
he is in' e.res :ed in the outcome, hs
would net go baok to fight. "While-1
would give funds to an effort to' free
Hungary, I would not support a war
In which the dual nation is involved.
As I see It the trouble between Aus-tria-II
unnary and Servia is but a
pawn in . a larger game I do ; not en
tirely comprehend. , I would not give
funds to such a war. The United
states is now my home, and, should
they get In ' a war, "I would " gladly
rive ' everything I possessed."
In reply to question as to how the
other -Hungarian residents felt in re
Fa rd to the matter, he said that his
opinion ia hell by the majority of
taoHe with whom he has spoken. He
believes that an appeal for either
men or volunteers would meet with
but little response' from the Hua-g-ariana
liere. r
Rev. Stephe-n'F. Chernitrky, pastor
cf the Su Stephen Hungarian R. c.
church. Bald that such an appeal
would meet. with, but little sucaees In
this city.- .,'''
A Farmer reporter visited' several
of the factories,, of which the em
ployes are to a large extent Hungar
ians this noon. While they were in
tensely IrtereHted In the latest devel
opments, queries as to whether they
would return to the fatherland to
light met with but little enthusiasm.'
As one put it, "Why should we go
back,? We make our living here. We
"do" not have to bow to any. oppres
sors, we are residents and citizens
of the greatest country in the world
now. ISo, I. myself, would not give
anything. . i
This was the genera! sentiment
wherever they were asked, and from
indications among the factory worker
but few if any would go back to war.
The Hungarians are a home loving
people, and while still interest In the
affairs of the old country,, take more
Interest in the affairs of their adopted
country. -

The finding of the body of Elliott
Marshall, Wall street lawyer, philan
thropist, musician and Tale graduate
well known in , this city where he, as
well, as his sister,- often visited, has
only created profound sadness in col
lege and society circles but every
where has created a desire that New
Xork and New Jersey authorities
plear up the mystery of his death.
That he was either 'swept -off the
deck of , a Sandy Hook boat during
the high storm of Tuesday a -week
ago, or that . he was the victim of
foul play is the deep-seated conviction
of all who knew him here. That sui
cide was far from his mind, though
he may' have been, upset over the re
cent loss of . his newly-born ' child, is
the opinion of all who knew him and
is borne out by the fact that when
found he had neither rings- nor per
sonal belongings upon his body and
his head was somewhat battered.
It was but", a week ago that Arthur
M. Marsh, the Jaest man at his wed
ding in 1 St. Louis a little over a year
ago, visited him - in ' New York ,- with
other Bridgeport friends. At ' that
time he was in the best of spirits.
The body which was picked up by
two Seabright, N. J. fishermen early
yesterday morning and towed to the
local morgue at Belford, N, J. will
be brought to his home in Mpntclair,
N. J., under the "personal supervision
or George L. Catlin of this city, who
left this morning1 upon personal re
quest of Mr. Marshall's sister. Though
Arthur Marsh, the close bosom friend
of Marshall had anticipated in aiding
the family in their bereavement, his
unavoidable absence in Boston today
prevented his leaving for New Jersey,
and Mr. Catlin, also a. close friend of
the dead man undertook the respon
sibilities. . ' .a -' ' '
