DANCER CORNERS IN
 NEW BRITAIN LISTED
Main and Myrtle and Main
 and Commercial Head List

Two danger corners in this city are
 listed in report which has just been
 issued by the department of motor vehicles in the state capitol. The re-
 port deals with the various intersec- tions in seven Connecticut cities where a large number of motor vehicle &C., cidents have happened during the past year. The corner of Main and Com mercal and the corner of Main and Myrtle streets in New Britain are list ed. Another surprising statement in the report says that over 60 accidents of major nature have occurred along Main street in New Britain, in 1922.
 An analysis is being made of the accidents in the seven larger Connecti- cut cities with an aim to remedy what ever conditions may lead to great many accidents at any particular points In this connection a list of what are termed danger corners" has been compiled. The entire list con- tains over 25 intersections of which two are New Britain corners, but the department of motor vehicles is anxious to reduce the number of ac- cidents which are occurring at these danger points.
 Eight accidents of serious nature have taken place at Main and Myrtle streets and five at Main and Com nercial streets; intersections within a half block of each other.
 A study is being made also of the accidents occurring between blocks. iuch as collisions with poles, pedes- rians. bicycles, fences and the like. t has been discovered that so acci- ents during 1922 occurred along Main treet New Britain but not at cross treet. 22 along Stanley street, Il

Also, It Is Likely That He Will Send His RecOmnien- dations, Rather Than De- liver Them in Person.

Washington, Feb. 6. - Presiden
 Harding decided today to postpone
 until tomorrow at least his message
 to congress asking for modification Of
 the debt funding law to permit final
 approval of the funding settlement re- gently negotiated with Great Britain. i It was said at the White House that no definite time had been fixed for transmission of the presidents recom-
 mendation which generally had been
 expected to go forward today. It was
 indicated, however, that the message
 would be sent to the capitol as soon
 as further conferences with leaders in the senate and house had established what form of amendment of the law
 would be least likely to meet with serious opposition.
 Those who conferred with Mir. Harding on the subject during the day predicted that he would be ready to act by tomorrow afternoon and that he would send his statement to the capitol by messenger instead of ap- bearing personally to deliver it at a joint session.
 Although it was apparent that the president desired to wait until after today's cabinet meeting to put his into final form 1t was indicated that she probably would | favor the simplest possible method of l revising the existing law so as to make [ of the British settle nent possible.
 It was suggested that he might ask merely for two amendments one changing the present stipulation as to he interest rate involved in any debt ettlement and the other extending he period during which final payment nay be made.
 The assertions of the Indiana enator were made in reply to Sem tor Harrison, democrat, Mississippi, rho in a speech started the political iscussion. The Mississippi senator in
 characteristic address referred at ,ngth to the announcement last week f the designation by Senator Lodge f Senators Wadsworth, of New York nd Lenroot, of Wisconsin. to aid in I GOT debate, contending that this was t irected against the possible presiden- t al candidacy of the Indiana senator. Il
