 The trio, who declared they had seen the driver, had expressed belief, when shown pictures of Ligi, that he might be the man. but when they visited him in his cell here, they shook their heads.
 Department of Justice agents, how ever, expect four more of their wit nesses to arrive here this afternoon to sec if they can recognize Ligi. One is farrier. who claims to have shod the horse hitched to the death wag- on'' few days before the blast.
 These witnesses are expected to at tend Lisi's hearing before Federal Commissioner Ellis on q charge of lodging the draft during the war. It is expected high bail, will be asked as it is probable witnesses will be called to testify regarding the prison CTS alleged anarchistic utterances.

 Father Martin PIunkett of St. Jo- seph's church, Shelton, representing the depOSitOrS committee, IeStlt1ed lC the wishes of the lepoSitors that per mission be given. MT. Holcomb also called he attention of the court to his unSelffsh attitude in the matter for if the permission he asks is granted he will automatically lose fees of SS,430, being the one per cent to which the receiver is entitled.
 Another matter that the court was asked to pass upon was the matter of the legality of a dividend to deposi- tors declared by directors on Dec. 20, last, when it is claimed the bank was in reality not making a profit, and therefore perhaps declaring a divi- dend that was illegal. During his ad- dress before the court MT. Holcomb called attention to the great assist ance in the matter of mortgages that the troubled bank is receiving from the Derby Savings bank, all similar institutions in Bridgeport and Milford heinz unable to neID at this time.

:. As means of securing immediate relief for the acute situation result | ing from the unemployment of thou sands of workingmen, the Chamber of Commerce recommends the trans fer of S90,000 from the contingent fund to the Charities account, the use of the remaining funds of the S105,- 900 park bond issue for employment of unemployed on new park works, and the levying of a special tax, pay ! able with the regular September pay nent.
 The communications, which were forwarded to Mayor Wilson this morning, follow verbatim:
 For Industrial Relief
 At the annual meeting of our di- rectors last night, specific recommen- dauonS were made as to the method of securing funds to relieve the un- employment distress of the city, as follows:
 ..That SsO. 900 of the sf1O.OOO Con tinGent Fund be appropriated to the Charities Department for the care of the outside poor.
 ''That the avaiIs of the $1O5,OOO Park Bonds be used in such park inn plans of the Park Board and employ the needy as recommended by the Charities Department.
 That any further need for funds for this purpose be met by special tax levy which can be paid with the reg uiar September tax payment
 1t has been suggested to us that the Park Board would be very will ing to cooperate as suggested above.
 'If legislative authority is required to raise the interest rate on Park Bonds in order to sell them we should support such action.
 ''We continue to believe that such borrowing as the city may be able to do should be devoted entirely to school building purposes, and as any borrowing done decreases the margin available for such need, we believe outside poor beyond the Contingent Fund and Park Bonds should come from current tax revenue and charg- ed to current expense.
 Assuring you that these sugges- tions are made in the spirit of meet ing an unfortunate situation with courage, and with an honest desire to be helpful in emergency.
