NEW BRITAIN MEN NAMED TO
 STATE COMMITTEES OF AL:
 INSTALLATION THIS EVENING
WILL FIGHT TRAFFIC
 BAN ON YICT0RIAS
Riding Fundamentalists" Hope to Block Autoists'
 Move in Washington

Washington, Jan. The national capitaIs traffic sQuabble promises to become further involved with the au- nouncement by few of the irrecon- cllable elite who sticks 10 the old fashioned custom of using horse- drawn victorias that they will carry their fight to the courts against q new regulation barring their equl- page from certain boulevards.
 CrG mayed by fiat refusal on the part of traffic officials to rescind the edict, the little clan of trunspor- Itation fundamentalists openly declare they will drive when and where they choose, laws to the contrary notwith- standing.
 The order, while included in a traffic regulation amendment by mis- 1 take, will nevertheless be enforced, says Traffic Director Eldridge who twenty-five years ago took up the cudgel against carriages in favor of i the motor vehicle. When his atten- ton was called to the phrase unwit- tingly incorporated in the ruling, the traffic director said 1t was not a mis- take, but was just what he wanted.
 These carriages" he declared, i should be excluded from these con- gested streets; they tie up traffic for ] blocks"
 His attitude, with that of Police Commissioner Fenning, however, has served apparently only to put more heat Into the protests of those who cling to the carriage, barouche or victoria.
 i Mrs. Arthur n. Addison is lead. ing the fight of the irreconcilahles. She says: If MT. Eldridge chooses to have me arrested, I shall pay the Hines or fight the case in court until the question is decided to be as dis criminatory as it is."
 Mrs. James Parmelee, who main tains q palatial home, the Causeway in fashionable section of northwest Washington. has informed Mrs. Ad. dison that she and her husband will back her to the limit in a court test
 Mrs. Henry F. Dimock, q resident ot sixteenth street, also will lend hei aid if needed, she says.
 Mrs. Parmelee says the order "i' tantaTount to saying whether W, shall have servants or not" ant
 points out she is always one of tho first to get a conveyance 10 take hel home from a White House reception because her footman must stay tc mind the horses, while those who come in limousines and taxicabs must await the arrival of chauffeurs who are warming up In some nearby restaurant.

FREIGHT CREW FINDS | CORPSE NEAR TRACKS
Thomas O'Neil, Brick Yard Worker, Killed by
 Express

Chronic deafness was probably responsible for the death of Thomas .ONeil. an employe of the Stiles 4. Reynolds Brick Co.,, whose dis membered body was found on the main line railroad tracks about q. mile north of the Berlin station yesterday morning. A search for relatives of the dead man has brought forth no results and 1t is believed that he will be buried by the town authorities.
 The body was found early yes.e,- day morning by the members Of a freight train crew as they were shifting cars to a siding. The matter was reported to Medical Examiner Roger M. Griswold Of KensinEtop. who investigated and later gave per mission for the removal of the body to the undertaking parlors Of E. C. Porter Sons, New Britain, where 1t has been prepared for burial.
 The man had evidently been struck by a south bound express train, No s5. which had passed through Berlin without stepping s short time before. It was known that O'Neil was deaf and it is though, that he walked along the tracks and did not hear the roar of the approaching train.
 Dr, Griswold, together with his son, Dr. Matthew II Griswold, and the first selectman, George B. Car ter, have made every effort to as- certain whether or not o'Neil left any relatives, but their efforts have borne no fruit so far
 ! The body was taken to the under taking parlors, pending the outcome of the investigation. o'Seil was be- tween i5 and 50 years of age.
 o'Neil had no money. there being but one dollar in his pocket when the body was found. His coat bore the label of a Springfield concern and it Is in that town that the in- vestigation has eentered. Little was
 known of him, beyond the fact that
 he appeared in Berlin several years
 ago and for a time was employed
 by the town. deinE odd iehs.
