NO EVIDENCE OF
VIOLENT DEATH
Although wife and daughter still
insist that Michael Jazsayi of Fair
field was mordered and did not meet
his death Christmas eve by a railroad
accident, Coroner John J". Phelan has
been unable to obtain any testimony
tending to corroborate that view. Mrs.
Jazsayi and her daughter with some
other witnesses were before the cor
oner this morning, but nothing new
was added to previous testimony.
Jazsayi was found dead Christmas
morning in Brewster street, Fairfield,
considerably mangled, and had ap
parently been struck by a train as he
was walking the track under the
bridge by which the street "cross the
rails. A watch found near him
stopped at 10.30 o'clock, and this is
the only Indication of the time of the
accident. Stories told of a fight be
tween Jazsayi and some companions
has not been verified.
No report of any person having
I been struck by a train on that night
' has been made, by the railroad com
pany. Coroner Phelan has not yet
i closed the case.

Hartford Jan. 2 Gov. Marcus H.
Holcomb yesterday wrote to the war
dens and vestrymen of Trinity church,
Hartford, approving their course In
planning their church wdrfc with a
view to coal conservation, expressing
the hope that other churches will
follow this plan of practical patriot
ism, and suggesting that If moving
picture theatres and saloons would
follow the example they would aid
materially in solving the fuel prob
lem. Governor Holcomb's letter follows:
"To the Wardens and Vestrymen of
Trinity Church, Hartford:
"I was greatly interested to read
in the paper that you, In order to
save coal consumption, are to have
but one service a week in the church
auditorium, and have invited St.
John's Church to unite with you In
nnion service. This is practical patri
otism. I hope the practice will be
followed during the winter by the
other churches of the etate.
"It would help if moving picture
houses would show a disposition to
save coal by limiting their exhibitions
to the evening hours Instead of keep
ing open from 9 a. m. to 11 p. m
and the saloons would follow the ex
ample they would add very materially
to the much too limited supply the
poor people of our state are now able
to get.
"MARCUS H. HOLCOMB,
"Governor."
" Paris, Jan. 2 In a New Tear order
of 'the day Gen. Petaln, French com
mander in chief, says to his troops:
"Officers, subalterns, soldiers, 1918
Is here. The struggle must continue.
The fate of France reaulres It. Be
patient, be persistent.
"In the attack, as In the defense,
rou have shown your worth. Each
time you have attacked the enemy has
retired. Each time he has attempted
to break through you have stopped
him. It will be the same tomorrow.
"The fault of the Russians has not
shaken your faith. I take' this occasion
to assure you that the co-operation of
the United States Is becoming more
powerful every day. You are firmly
determined to fight as long as neces
sary to assure peace for your children
because you know that, if those who
are most impatient call for peace,
those who are most persistent fix the
conditions of peace.
'I salute your flags and in address
ing to you my most affectionate wishes
for 1918 I express to you once again
my pride in commanding you and my
full confidence In the future."

ture is on each box. 20a.
By the arrest of two young men
implicated in the matter, further in
teresting details concerning the dar
ing hold-ip perpetrated by six arm
ed desperadoes in a coffee house at
361 Pine street, late Monday night,
were brought to light at detective
headquarters, today.
Louis Silverberger, aged 24, of 1020
Stratford avenue, and John Theados,
22, of 103 Broad street, were taken
in custody by Detectives Wheeler, Ma
lone, Derrick and Seery at a very early
hour this morning, and locked up
without bail pending investigation.
They admitted, upon being question
ed, that they had taken part in the
raid.
The six men ' went to the coffee
house in an automobile driven by
Theados, they said, 'but only three en
tered the establishment. These men
donned black masks first, and carried
revolvers and blackjacks.
As soon as they appeared in the
restaurant, two of their number stood
guard at the main door with drawn
pistols ready for fire, while the third
walked to the cash register to open
it. Sigmund Lakatos, the proprietor,
was at the cash desk at the time, and
he seized the intruder by the throat,
shoving him to one side.
In retaliation, the man struck Laka
tos a glancing blow on the head with
his blackjack, and his two compan
ions opened fire upon the restaura
teur. At that, Mrs. Lakatos, who was
in the place, ran out to the back door
to call for a policeman, and one of
the gunmen ran after and seized her
to prevent her making outcry. They
struggled, and the woman broke the
thug's hold, gained the open and
commenced to call for help.
This gave the Intruders their cue for
a hasty retreat, and after firing sever
al more shots at the proprietor, his
wife, the waiters and the dozen or
more thoroughly frightened guests,
they ran out to the machine and drove
away.
Lakatos told the police this morn
ing that the only reason the thieves
failed to get any money was that he
had the entire days receipts, except
for a small amount of change, in his
pocket, and he kept the thief who at
tacked him from getting at it,

action will be demanded.
The Industrial situation Is given
temporary relief by the small sup
ply carted to the factories by the re
tail dealers. The soft coal bins of all
dealers are practically bare and every
ounce in sight is being scraped onto
shovels and added to outgoing cart
loads.
Due to the closing of navigation
the anthracite situation grows more
acute and the dealers' suDDlies
dwindle. More than 200 persons
stormed the fuel committee's office
today, revealing Intense suffering dur
ing the present seige of zero weather.
Many women, with babes in arms,
explained that heretofore they had
been depending upon oil heaters to
keep warm, but they have proved in
adequate and after three days of dis
comfort were driven from their
homes to seek relief.
The usual allotment of 100 half
ton lots was distributed shortly after
10 o'clock. For the first time in more
than a week police were required to
keep order today. Approximately
160 persons, mostly women, were in
line -when the ofHce opened at 8:30
6 clock. More than 100 were turned
away. In the majority of cases, the
applicants had tried to get coal from
no less tnan six dealers, but were
refused by all.
Chairman Siemon announces that
temporary relief will be given; to hun
dreds of families today by street ped
lars, who have been allotted 50 tons
for distribution in small quantities.
Siemon believes this system will
greatly reliev the suffering of many
families.
RANDELL TO HAVE
COMMAND OF THE
U.S. S. BRIDGEPORT

who was assigned to command the U.
S. S. Bridgeport, formerly the Bres-
lau, of the North German Lloyd, left
today for a southern port where he
will assume command of his ship, and
will soon make a trip In the service
of the United States.

a week at his home in Park avenue
with his family, one of his children
being seriously ill.
After his assignment to command
the Bridgeport Capt. Randall, who
holds the rank of lieutenant comman
der in the Naval Reserve, was trans
ferred temporarily to another ship in
which he has made a voyage to Eu
rope and return, reaching an Atlantic
port only a few tdays ago.
His own ship, the Bridgeport, is
now ready for service and Capt Ran
dall has been ordered to report to
take command. It is one of the
larger vessels seized from Germany on
the declaration of the war, and was
well known under the former name
of the Breslau.

Washington, Jan. 2 With Charles
Eisenman, vice chairman of the sup
ply committee of the council of na
tional defense, on the stand, the sen
ate war inquiry continued today its
investigation into the cancelled scrap
uniform cloth picking contracts.
Mr. Eisenman, explaining operations
of the supply committee, said that
during the last eight months it had
dealt in 4,500 transactions with mer
chandise valued at $800,000,000. He
had the responsibility of finally pass
ing on all orders and contracts.
"The delay was due to the buying
of supplies too late," said he, indicat
ing more troops, were called into ser
vice than could be equipped.
"Is it right," he asked the com
mittee, "to call out men defenseless
against the elements when it is known
that enough supplies are not on hand?
We were ordered to provide a certain
amount of materials. We never were
told the number of men that were
to be called out."
Cloth, he declared, was delivered to
the quartermaster general's office fas
ter than it could ba made into garments.
