HILBERT PULLS
 IN HIS HORNS
Instead of Demanding Re moval of Police Commis- sioner Ryan, As He Threatened, He Asks For Investigation.

Alderman John ". HIbbert, He- publican of the Second district, can didate for reelection to the Comma on council, in his grandstand play calling for the removal of Police Conmis- sioner William H. Ryan because the latter caused the shifting of Traffic Officer R'oderick Ludwig for an aI- legged violation on subordination somewhat modified his resolution to the Common council last night and Instead of demanding the emoVal of Ryan as police commissioner as the text of his original resolution called for, asks for an investi tigating com. In1ttee with the power of subpoena to investigate and after due investigat- ing and fair trial for Ludwig, come to a con nclUsion if the facts warrant.
 The original resolution that Alder man Hilbert declared he was going to introduce into the council was re- ported as follows:
 'SWhereas, The charter of the city of Bridgeport provides that the Com mon Council shall have auth hority to remove members of the Board of Po- lice Commissioners from flee, for cause; and
 Whereas, Police Commissioner Will Iiain H. Ryan has, by his action in demanding the disciplining of Traffic Officer Roderick M. Ludwig for per asaA. ing the duties of his station, ad-
 -I seIy affected the morale of the po- lice department, and the proper en- forcement of the law by members of the police department; be it
 Resolved, That these acts of Po- lice Commissioner Ryan be deemed by this body as cause for removal, and that said Police Commissioner Ryan be, and he hereby is removed from off1ce''
 The resolution introduced last night was as follows:
 Whereas, William H. Ryan, a Police Commissioner of the city of Bridge port, did usurp the powers and au- thority of a police officer of said city. and,
 Whereas, Said William H. Ryan, did undertake to assume the direction ot the Police Department or some of its mem bers contrary to the charter and rules of said department, and,
 Whereas, It appears that for the good of the department and the wei fare of the city that the conduct of Commissioner be investigated that it may be ascertained whether or not the said William H. Ryan shall be re- moved from said office of Police Com missioner.
 ed that your honorable body appoint a committee of five to investigate the conduct of the said William H. Ryan and that said committee be empower ed to hold a hearing. summon Wit Ryan to appear before said commit tee and make any explanation or give any defense that he may have. as to why he should not be removed rom tn. esaid office of Police Commission CT. =
 After some discussion in which Al derman David w. Price said he d1d not question the authority or elther the Police or Fire Board. but that he stood for a fair trial for Ludwig, May or Atwater referred the resolution to the ordinanc ecomnIittee vince 1t WaAl probably be lost in the shuttle.

 It will be noted that the total num- Der of fatal accid ents in Connecticut to November 1st, 1922 is 172. as com pared with 195 of the corresponding period in 1921. That is, there have been 23 less fatal accidents in Con- necticut in the first ten months of 1922 than in 1921, notwithstanding an increase in excess of 2O1- in the num- Der of vehicles in traffic.
 Public sentiment in the state is turning against motor vehicle acci- dents; the State department and all enforcement authorities, including the courts, are becoming more severe on cases of reckless driving. There has been a continuous No Accident cam paign in Connecticut since the first of April 1922. This No Accident cam paign has been run by professionals with the cooperation of volunteer or ganizations and associations all over the state. The result is quite appar- ent at this time.
 More intensive work is needed and more active individual participation in the safety campaign by every driver declares the state motor vehicle de partment.

MYSTERY IN
 BOYS DEATH

The manner in which George Nazio. five years old, of 19S South avenue, met his death, Friday last, is baffling g to the police and the coroner, since the boy was found lying in the street in an unconscious condition, appar- entity from injuries sustained when hit by a passing vehicle.
 MT. and Mrs. R. J. O'Donald, of 747 State street, coming through Broad street in their automobile, were fore ed to come to a stop at the corner of Broad street and South avenue to allow three cars coming down South avenue to turn into Broad street.
 The prostrate boy was first seen by Mrs. O'Donald and stopping the car, her husband went to his aid. The ambulance was Summ oned but the boy never regained consciousness, No one has been found as yet who saw the boy struck. An inquest was held by Coroner John J. Phelan, yesterday when the O'Donalds and several oth- CT witnesses took the stand all of whom arrived on the scene after the boy had been picked up.
