Delay Means Loss of Money, Appellants
 Claim

Claiming every days delay in talk ing action on applications for changes on the zoning law will result in financial losses, persons interest ed In the appeals of Helen T, Peter son and Carmela Francolino, have inquired into the procedure of ask ing for a special session of the board of adjustment to hasten action in these matters.
 Miss Peterson has asked a change from two to three tenement house zoning on Haley street, and Mrs. Francolino wants a similar change on Allen street.
 It Is claimed the property owners have entered into contracts with builders and on this account, to- gether with the fact that frost will soon set into the ground, they claim 1t Is unfair to delay action further,
 It Is expected that a petition for a special session of the adjustment board will be sent to Chairman Will liam E. Atwood this week.

The commuters chief Coun- sel accused the New Haven with having tried to prevent the raising of funds for the commuters cause and charged that various municipal bodies had been threatened by legal cajolcry."
 After his outburst, Mir. Van Auken apologized to the commission and then left the hearing room.
 "Why, they have gone around everywhere, threatening legal action against municipal bodies if the city government should advance money for this fight" Mir. Van Aulien told reporters.

After the rail road had raised its intra-states con- mutation fares 40 per cent last sum- mer, the commuters began con- certed movement to defeat the raise They obtained a court order requir- ing that the railroad issue rebate slips covering the fare increase pending final settlement Of the quos' 1 ton.

Divers Who Have Ex-

While Majority Have Given Up All on Sub. marine as Dead, Admiral Christy and Captain King Still Hold Out Hope for Sailors.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
 U. s. Submarine Base, New Lon. den, Sept, So-Rough weather having caused a suspension of work at the scene of the wrecked submarine S-bl, officers at the submarine base today said that it might be neces- sary to stop the effort at rescue and try to salvage the boat.
 Such a step, however, would hays to be ordered by the navy depart ment at Washington and probably would be taken up on the recom- mendation of Rear Admiral H. H, Christy. in command of the rescue work.
 Salvage Operations
 The beginning of salvage opera tons would mean that efforts to lift the stern of the sunken submarine. which has been the object of wreck. ing lighters, would be abandoned ana divers would try 10 patch the hole punched In her hull by the steamer City of Rome, perhaps mt pontoons under her and attach her bodies were brought to the surface
 The time It would take for such work would be uncertain, for II has not been determined how far the Sol has settled in the sandy bottom or the ocean. It would be q matter of days, however.
 A message from Admiral Christy was very brief. It said:
 Present weather conditions, s-s1 make operations impossible"
 Still Have Faint Hope
 Rear Admiral Christy has refused to give up hope that some of the men who went down with the shin are still alive and his feeling is shared by Captain E. J. King, com
