WOULD PLAY /
 SYMPHONIES
 IN LIGHT RAYS

New York, Oct. 17-Development of a Tight organ for churches on which artists would play symphonies of illumination rivallfng in emotional appeal the greatest of music, was predicted today by Claude Bragdon. architect, following an exhibition of his system in the church of St. Marks in the Bouwerie yesterday.
 The keyboard of the impromptu Tight organ on which MT. Bragdon played was row of electric switches controlling a series of blue, amber. green and red lights, suspended in large circular lanterns.
 Manipulating the switches, MT. Bragdon produced a wide variety of effects, Interpreting, according to his theory, the changing moods of the service. The blue and green lights were used during the less emotional stages of the service. A warm rose and amber suffusion was employed to nal. Violet rays were employed to produce a somber atmosphere.

ROBINSON MAY
 BE CHAIRMAN

When the Rules Revision Comni- ttee of the Republican party present the results of their deliberations to the district delegates when they re- assemble this week it is quite likely that a change in the party rules may be proposed so that teh town chair man will once more be selected by the town and city convention, as he formerly was. At present he is se- lected by the state delegates who also choose the district chairmen. Under the old method the town chairman selects the district leaders.
 It seems that City Clerk J. Alex H. Robinson can have the position of chairman to succeed John A. Leonard if he wants it. MT. Leonard's resig- Eation will definitely be presented within a few days. It is understood that his withdrawal is caused merely by the fact that his illness makes it imp possible for him to carry on the duties of chairman. The question is whether or not Robinson wants the post It is a known fact that he and the mayor are not on good terms, although it is said that they are get ting together for the sake of the or ganization during the coming cam paign.
 If Robinson does not take the lead ership, it will probably go to Andrew J. Northey, leader of the Second dis trict and staunch supporter of Wilson.

WEISSMAN CASE
 AGAIN GOES OVER

New Haven. Oct. 17-There is so much business before the present term of the United States district court that the cases of Joseph H. Weissman and 25 others who are all legged to be involved in the bank ruptcy case of Weissman, in which the liabilities were close to a million dollars, cannot be tried until the De- cember term which will be in Hart ford. Weissman has been at liberty under $20,O0O bonds since March of last year. Judge B. S. Thomas has had before him the governments de- murrer to the plea of the defendants that the indictments charging con- spiracy to conceal assets be dismissed.
 The court sustains the demurrer and Weissman and the others must stand trial. The Weissman bank ruptcy dragged along in the bank ruptcy court for many weeks and in March of last year a grand jury brought in indictments. The case was called for trial three months later. The indictment alleged that Weissman knowing he was insolvent turned over to employees and others, sums of money and goods which were disposed of at a profit.

HOPE TO HAVE HALF OF BRIDGE
 OPEN NOV. 1

While information from the office of the State Highway Commissioner in Hartford would indicate the open ing of a half of the new Washingt on bridge over the Housatonic river at Stratford and Devon, in a week or 10 days those in closest touch with the situation day by day do not believe that any amount of effort will make possible the putting into service of half of the handsome structure be- fore November 1, or possibly a few days earlier.
 Appreciating that traffic next Sat urday, the day of the Yale-Army foot ball game will be perhaps as heavy as on the annual 'fbig game" day, it was hoped that an earlier opening date would be possible. Now, how ever, every effort will be made to have one side of the bridge open by November l, and while definite de- tails have not been worked out, it is planned to use the old bridge for structure for west bound, until the entire bridge is opened to the public late in November.
 One trolley track is connected over the new structure and temporary arrangement as outlined above would be a wonderful help to traffic on No vember IF, the date of the Yale Princeton game, in fact, almost as ready, provided the temporary ap- breaches are adequate. No cement work has yet been started on the east side and but one layer has been poured on the west portion of the ap- breaches.
 The formal opening, which will come sometime near Thanksgiving will be in the nature of a jubilee with the state and the towns of Mil ford and Stratford participating. To the Devon Improvement association should go the credit for starting the ball rolling. Devon people more than any .others appreciate <the new bridge and they intend to see that ed as long as the bridge stands, mark the formal opening of the span.
 Failure. because of the legality Of the matter, to get an approprlation in the annual budget of Milford, to cover expenses, compelled the Devon association to admit that the under taking was too much for them to handle alone, so aa appeal was made to the Milford Chamber of Commerce, that brought imm ediate response, and methods of raising necessary funds will be found by that organization.
 On Thursday night the Stratford Cha nnber of Commerce received an invitation from the Milford body to invitation was accepted. George B. Chase. president of the Stratford or ganization. named committee of which J. B. Gregory is chairman. and a report will be made in few days by this committee.
 It is certain that Governor Lake will be asked and expected to be pres ent, for it has been many years since so important link of the state high way was opened and tentative plans for the formal opening include a parade, decorations, and water events. which will in all probability, be en- tered into by every form of vehicle or craft benefited by the new struc-
