Rutherford Will Han dIe All Work In De-
 partment If Present Plans are Carried Out.
Curtis Would Be Side tracked Under Program Which Is Said to Be Seriously Considered.

Statements today by Mayor Weld, together with reported declarations of members Of the building commis- sion, indicate that Arthur N. Rutherford. who assumes the post of building inspector August 1. will be expected to handle inspection work without an assistant.
 The board and the mayors of flee are said to be in virtual agree- ment on this point, which is con- sistent with the mayors earlier at titude toward the work of building inspection when he maintained that one man could handle the task.
 Unabated opposition to the ad- ministration move to give ex-Mayor o. F. Curtis Q berth in the building department as a deputy inspector is understood to have resulted in compromise through which Hen- nessey was asked to resign. as a concession to the mayor, and the mayor today indicated he would not block his commission should it de- eide no deputy should be appointed.
 Discussion which attended the dropping of Hennessy and the com missioners declaration that the move was in response to the mayors request, prompted Weld to remark today:
 When I appointed the commis- sion 1 believe I showed l had con- fidence in the commissioners Dur ing the past weeks I have assured them that if their views did not coincide with mine they need have no fear they would be dismissed"
 The mayor added he has never been fully convinced there is any need for deputy. The amount of work cleaned up in the past few months including much of what had been allowed to lag behind, indicates to his mind, he said. that one man keeping right after the business Of the day would experience little or no difficulty.
 If there is to be a deputy fn- spector the mayor wishes his com- missioners to name Curtis. but i. the board decides against two in- spectors Weld will make no effort to change their finding, he said

MOREAU STILL MISSING,
 U. s. NAVY DEPT. INSISTS
Despite Telegram From Atlantic City, New Britain Boy
 Seems Lost.

Waiting, watching, each time the mail man passes the door, Mrs. Au- gusta Moreau of S23 West Main street, expects every mail will bring her letter from her son, Paul, missing since the explosion Of the L. S. arsenal at Dover, N. J., while the United States navy seeks in vain for traces of the young man.
 q know my son is alive, because I received a telegram from him Sat urday," Mrs. Moreau stated 10 Herald representative today. The telegram is purported to have stat cd that the young man was at At lantic City. alive and well, advised her to disregard the naval report Of his death and stated that he would return Tuesday"
 Information from the naval au- thorities received here today is to the effect that no traces of Moreau have been found. The navy has no knowledge of his having been in Atlantic City.
 Moreau was located recently at the Brooklyn navy yard and his mother did not know he was trans ferred to Dover until she received the telegram Saturday night. He had expected 10 be transferred to the west.
 The filing of the message at At lantic City Mrs. Moreau said was easily eXplainahlr since the boys at the navy yard at Brooklyn often are given 24 hours leave and go to At lantic City to spend a weekend.
 Mrs Moreau thinks there must be some mistake and that her son was not conne&ed with the munition sta- ton at Dover. ... .......
