RECEIVERS FOR B. 6 N. SOUGHT
 WITHOUT DELAY

Boston, Aug. 23.-The immediate ap- pointment of temporary receiver for the Boston & Maine railroad. to be fol- lowed as soon as possible by a perma- nent receiver, was asked for in the bill in equity filed yesterday, It pe- came known today, when the papers were made a matter of record in the United States district court. Close followers of the situation pointed out a court decree fulfilling the requests would bind closely to t'1e Boston & Maine control of lines under lease and make impossible any independent ac- tion by their officials. It was the op- jection of certain leased line interests which made impossible the reorganiza- ton of the road without receivership.
 As a reason for the proposed receiv- 'ership, the petitioner, the Intercont1- mental Rubber. company, of Jersey City, N. J., states that the company S credit Is so poor it cannot issue bonds at reasonable price and that it IS unable to raise money on short term notes
 ''The roads inability to make pay ments on the notes and to procure ex- tensions again will result in a multi plicity of suits,' the bill states. and a race of diligence to secure attach ments on every available bit of prop erty owned by the company. If this condition were allowed to go on it would be to the great loss of the bond holders whose notes are not due for many years and whose only recourse Is receivership."

 BANK FOR CITY

 Capital Today.

Hartford, Aug 23-Judging from the facts and arguments presented by citizens from this city, New Britain, Middletown, Thompsoh- vile and number of other towns around Hartford to the members of the board, who conducted a hearing today in the courtroom of the federal building for the purpose of determin- ing a suitable location in New Eng land for one of the twelve federal farm loan banks in the United States, Hartford stands a good chance of be- ing chosen when final 'judgmentN is given. j,
 The members of the board present at the hearing were: Hon. w. G. Me- Adoo, secretary of. the treasury; George w. Norris, farm loan commis- sioner; Herbert Quick, Captain w. S. A. Smith, and c. E. Lobdell.
 Commissioner McAdoo, chairman of the board explained at the beginning of the hearing that the questions in- volved were economical and not poli- tical. Then he gave brief outline of just what the federal farm loan plan is.
 Senator Louis R. Cheney, president of the Hartford Chamber of Com merce. introduced the various speak CTS. A number of men, he said, whose views he would like to have the board hear, were, out of town or on their vacations. He presented a list of those who were absent which was filed by the commission. Com missioner McAdoo requested that h 1oe0 o;r <I-s s<rs4 S<~, communicate their views to the head quarters of the board at Washington by letter.
 J. H. Hale, of Glastonbury, repre- senting the executive committee of the Connecticut State Grange, was first called upon. He said that he was 8 borrower of money for a great many years and personally he exper- fenced very little difficulty in securing loans from banks at from four to six per cent.

SALOONS MORE
 SANITARY THAN ICE CREAMERIES
Dr. sophian Says Dispen- saries of Hard Stuff'
 Here Are Safer.

Saloons in Bridgeport are in very good condition, speaNIng from sani- tary standpoint. according to Dr.. Abraham Sophian, but it's ice cream parlors are in very poor condition.
 Of the 26 saloons that have been re-inspected by the agents of the health department, 23 have been found up to the standard. Of the .125 ice cream parlors re-inspecte1, only four have compiled with the sugges- tions of the health department agents
 The. chief trouble with the ice cream parlors, according to pr. So- phian, is that few of them have rum ming water in which to wash their glasses. He declared today that un- less the suggestions of the health in- spectors are speedily compiled with. or sanitary cups are adopted, action will be taken.
 Fifty-five of the 77 barber shops re-inspected have been found in good condition.
 Two ice cream dispensaries have been closed because sanitary condi- tions in them have been poor. One theatre has had to close it's doors.
 Dr. Sophian said today that many of the owners of yards have not com piled with the notices sent them by the health department. They can't comply" he said. Every citizen should petition the alderman in his district to seek the establishment of municipal collection of refuse. Many persons cannot get it removed now"
 Tenements, he said, will never be improved satisfactorily until housing accommodationr are improved. W

NEW POLICEMAN
 QUITS BECAUSE
 OF HIS ILLNESS c. F. Met Cullough Has Been Able to Work Only 4 Weeks Since Appointment. RESIGNATION IS
 KEPT DEEP SECRET Worked Only Few Days AT ter He Donnede Uniform,
 Before Being Taken Ill.

Though knowledge of the resigna- tion of Charles F. Mccullough as a member of the police department was denied by officials of the department to-day, it has been said on good au- thority he had turned in his badge and keys to Superintendent John H. Redgate and will no longer pound the pavements as member of Bridge ports finest. Mccullough has been i'll for some time and since his ap- pointment to the force on June 1 has been on duty only about four weeks. .t Mccullough, former employe of the Union Metallic Cartridge company, was appointed to the police force with the 70 appointees on May 15 and donned the brass buttons June 1. He worked several days when illness forced him to temporarily give up the duties and has been under the care of physician since. During the past month he returned to his post and did duty for about three weeks when again he was obliged to let up.
 As it will be almost impossible for Mccullough to continue as mem Der of the force in his present con- dition, it is understood that he has sent in his resignation and turned over his badge and keys.
 Superintendent Redgate when asked if he had heard of McCullough's resig- nation replied that he could not give anything for publication at present and refused to commit himself to any statement. President J. c. Stan ley stated that he had heard 'noth- ing of the action credited to McCul- tough and that the resignation had not been sent to him.

White House this morning. It is unS derstood he planned to discuss with them legislation on the railroad striker situation. Under the Presidents plan{ for the settlement of the railroad dis pute Congress would create a commis-l sion to investigate the working of the eight hour day and collateral issues.
 After their conference with Presi- dent Wilson, Senator Newlands and Representative Adamson said they had discussed the controversy gener- ally but no legislation to meet the sit- uation had been gone over specifically- The bill adding two members to the interstate commerce commission al- ready passed the House was one of the measures discussed. It was under stood, however, that the creation of a permanent commission to investigate such controversies was mentioned Some railroad officials have taken the position that if such a commission were created and railroad employees prevented from striking until an in- vestigation Is complete, they might ac- cept the eight-hour day. It was un-. derstood definitely today. that the Yaiie, road executives had decided to act as a unit in the present situation.
 The program of the railroad execu- lives as understood today was to deal first with the principle of arbitration and afterward with the eigtt-hour day. In administration circles today it was declared that the President and the railroad executives seemed on the way to an agreement.
 The three presidents who were at the White House last night left with President Wilson a comprehensive statement of the estimated cost of ex- tending an eight hour day to all rail- road employees and employees in indus trial concerns throughout the coun- try. The railroad presidents hold that extension of the eight-hour day to, railroad trainmen eventually means that it must be extended to all other railroad workers and to many of those in industrial pursuits.
 Before the meeting of all the execu- tives with the committee. today, it be-' came apparent that there would ba some difficulty in getting all the presi- dents to agree to any counter-pro-. posals which involve an eight hour day with ten hours pay.
