To Rush Work
 On Memorial

That work on the soldier memorial to be placed on City Hall Green will be rushed. was the statement today by City Clerk Francis Dunigan, who said that a meeting of the City Hall committee would probably be called early next week to consider the mat ter, aired recently by Alderman Cos tello, who is going to introduce a resolution at the next meeting of the Common Council ordering the placing of soldiers and sailors name on a boulder on the green.
 A huge boulder has Teen selected by Director of Public Works Cough lin and City Clerk Dunigan, and is now at Beardsley Park ready to be moved to City Hall As a few more names of eX-service men are to be added. the company which made the slab will be communicated with and asked to add the names. A stone cut ter will be engaged to fit the slab in the rock. The City Hall committee consists of Alderman Alfred Veness, City Clerk Dunigan, and City Auditor Bernard Heating.

F irst Lien On
 Morris Metal
 Company
Crucial Point Reached in Affair of Bankrupt Manufacturing Com pany.

The crucial point in the affairs of the Morris Metal Products Company, adtudged bankrupt by Judge Edwin S. Thomas in the United States Dis trict court, was reached yesterday when the first of the liens placed on the assets of the company fell due.
 Lien Called For $1,275.
 This lein was a So-ca11ed mechanics lien and called for the payment of S1,275 not later than midnight yes- terday.
 The attempt to frustrate the plans of Attorney Samuel Reich, appointed trustee, did not work out by reason of the application for an appeal to the issuance of an order for the sale of some of the property, and yester- day an order was signed by Referee in Bankruptcy John J. Keogh giving Reich permission to sell some of the machinery and office fixtures of the bankrupt firm.
 Attorney Reich disposed of a suffi- cient amount of the machinery to meet the lien due yesterday, paid it together with current expenses for the preservation of the property, and thereby prevented the foreclosure, by the creditor holding yesterdays lien.
 If this had not been paid, the assets of the company including the build ing and machinery, which was inven- toried at about S4OO,00O, would pass to yesterdays creditor who would nave to pay only those notes or bills which fell due previous to his. The remaining creditors, whose bills amount to about S150,0 would have been wiped out and their claims upon the trustee could not have been met.
 The next law days, date is Septem- Der l when the payment of a lein held by the City for taxes of S45,000 is due. The following day. another mechanics lein held by Daniel T Maheaney for about $2,000 is due. 1r the event that sufficient money to meet the payments is not raised by the trustee the assets of the company will pass to the creditor whose claim is not met. and he will be forced to pay only the claims of the preceding creditors and receive a right to the entire property.
 It is expected however that the trustee will have disposed of the en- tire plant by this time, raising suf- ficient funds to pay all the creditors.

LackOfFunds NotHindering
 Smith Search
Flanagan Plays Report Search Being Made As Much Money as Necessary.

'We have great confidence in Supt- Flanagan and when he feels that ex- tra funds are necessary for the search for Howard Smith we believe that he will suggest it to the Board of Police We shall then take the matter up with the Common Coun- cil and attempt to procure them Be- sides what I have read in a local newspaper know nothing about the lack of funds. Until I get an official communication. from the superinten- dent of police, I shall be content that the seanch is being conducted In an efficient manner.
 The above is a statement to the Times today by President of the Police Commissioners Phtlo C. Cal- hOun relative to a report that seems to have ganed some credence that lack of funds is blocking the search for Howard Smith, former tax collector or this city, who abeconded with SS5. 900 of the city'S funds.
 President Calhoun said that at no time did he intimate to the press that he would go over the superintendents s head and request the Common Coun- cil to appropriate additional funds for the search.
 Sufficient Funds.
 '"There is a tracing fund of S1,500. Of this $500 is set aside by the Board of Apportionment especially for trac- ing criminals" he continued. The
  fund has not yet been used. nor has the whole of the original fund of $500, so there is no lack of funds"
 The superintendent went on to say that the search for the missing tax collector is still going on, despite re- ports to the contrary. Men are work ing on the case and one man in partt- eular has gone almost 300 miles in tracking him. Others are investigat- lng the case now.
 More If Needed.
 Tn regard to getting more funds If needed" he said, we can do so if necessary. We will ask the board for additional funds at that time and we will get it. I have never had any trouble getting money"
 President Calhoun said that thera would be a meeting of the board or Police Commissioners Monday even- ing. When asked if the matter of funds would be discussed at the time he said that there would be nothing of that nature discussed. He said that outside of the routine the only other thing that would come up would be a discussion Of the traffic problem.

No Trouble Is
 Expected" Says
 rainmaster Flick

The attempt of the local railroad workers to carry on their strike was made more difficult today since about 200 men applied at the local railroad station to Trainmaster J. F. Flick, who was hiring applicants to fill the positions left vacant by the strikers.
 MT. Flick explained the strike sit uation by saying that the old em- p1oyes of the railroad company left their places with no disturbance and they are considered to have resigned from the employ of the New fork, New Haven & Hartford Railroad Company. eff these men desire po- sitions again." said MT. Flick, they must be. rehired and will lose the seniority they obtained. because we rehired them as new workers
 This morning about 150 men were sent to New Haven on the 10:32 train and an equal number were sent to Stamford on an earlier train. These men will be required to fill out appli- cation blanks in the respective cities and then will obtain their railroad passes.
 "It is safe to say that the strike is over as far as the local station is concern and we expect no further trouble,'' was the climax of the inter- view with J. F. Flick.

Strike
 Seen In Move Toward Peace
Jewell Ready for Con- ference c e II CT a l Tren d Throughout Country Is for Return to Work.

Chicago, July 6-(By the A. P.)-Strike of railway shop men assumed a more concilia- tory aspect today, and feeling became more general in rail circles that the last 2l hours had shown a trend toward peace, despite increased disor- ders at scattered points.
 Way To Negotiations.
 It was believed that the exchange of letters between Ben W. Hooper, Chair man of the United States Railroad Labor Board, and Bert M. Jewell, head of the railway employees depart ment of the American Federation of Labor, probably opened. the way to negotiations.
 JewelTs statement that the shop crafts 'are willing to confer with any body authorized by the railroads to bring peace proposals was accepted as an indication of a speedy return to normal conditions in railroad shops. Jewell said he neither included nor ex- cluded anybody but that if the labor board came with a definite proposi- ticn he would not hesitate to con- slider it.
 The statement was made in the face of the contention by the railroads against the carriers but against the government, and therefore a matter to be settled before the labor board Chairman Hooper said that the labor board has been protecting the interests of the shopmen even while they have been calling the board names.
 Another Peace Sign.
 Another hamburger of peace was that a number of railroads which had farmed out shop work were ready to abolish the contract system the big issue in the strike, according to re- turns in the strike referendum. AL though the vote to strike in protest against the $5O,000,000 wage reduc- tion was declared .cverwh elming. MT. Jewell said the question of protesting against the contracting of labor boiled the heaviest vote for three proposi- lions put un to the Shopmen.

City Assessors
 Study System InNewLon
Tax and Assessing Plan, in Coming System, Ob- ject of Trip.

That the proposed zoning system which is now before the Ordinance committee of the Common Council is being given serious consideration, IS the indication at City Hall today. To further substantiate thiS belbef, it was learned that Chief Tax Assessor Lawrence Gill, Assessor Aaron Witt stein and Assessor Frank Hearn went to New London today where they will make an exhaustive study of the tax and assessing system in vogue in that city where the Zoning, system exists.
 The three assessors will spend but one day in New London. On their return a report will ibe made to Mayor Fred Atwater who is said to favor the zoning scheme. The zoning scheme would divide the city into sections separating factory and residential sections, one from the other. Alder man Hogan originally introduced the resolution for a Zoning scheme. At a recent meeting of the Common Coun- cil an opinion on the matter was read to the Common Council by City Att torney John A. Cornell Jr.

No Surrender Final Words
 Of Leader
Provisional Government Issues Actual Call to Arms This Morning Dublin's Losses Heavy After Warfare.

London, July 6-(By the A P) P)-Complete mystery sur. rounds the whereabouts of Ramon DeValera, following the surrender of his beseiged com rades in Dublin to the forces of the provisional Free State government.
 Rumors reaching here are al- most as varied as the number of correspondents sending them. One declares it is un- known whether DeValera is alive, another that he has been wounded and captured, and a third that he escaped Monday, having delivered as his fare we'll watchword to the garri- son:
 Never surrender, but escape if you can."
 Many SpcuIations.
 Yet another speculation is that he has joined Erskine Chflders, who is of lighters in the hills around Dublin, while elsewhere it is suggested that he has gone to the southern repubIi- cans centered at Mallow.
 Cathal Brugha, who was an ob- scure drummer under the English name of Charles Burgess, but who has become leader among the Republi- cans, made dramatic exit from the burning O'Conneu street buildings.
 While his garrison went forward un- der a white flag to surrender, Brugha dashed, revolver in hand, for one of the barricades, intending to fight his way to liberty The nationals turn ed on a machine gun and took him prisoner; wounded. According to one version his condition is serious.
 20 Buildings Destroyed.
 Dublin, July 6-Twenty buildings in O'ConneH street were destroyed by fire after the surrender of insr1rgent Republicans who had turned the buildings into fortresses in their re- sistance to the professional Free State government.
 The fires were under control today, but only smouldering ruins remained. It is believed the damage will reach several hundred thousands of pounds. Four sniperS were shot dead during the night.
 Casualties in yesterdays fighting so far as city hospitals show were killed and 16 wounded.
 For the eighty days of the fighting sixty one dead and 259 wounded, not including four snipers shot dead and the wounded taken prisoner.
 MarteriaI Loss High.
 The Dublin loss to Dublin is very heavy The value of the buildings de- 3,O00,00o and 100000 pounds, while the destruction means the loss of a large sums in rentals and con- siderable unemployment.
