NIGHT POLICEMEN MAY SEE SUNLIGHT AGAIN
  Chief Hart Also Hints At Changes In Detective
 Bureau

Consideration is being given 70 q plan by which the policemen on day beats would take their turn at night work, thereby allowing the night patroimcn q chance to do day duty, Chief W. C. Hart said today. For some time the day force has been permanent. and the only outlook the night force has for a change in their tour of duty is ;he increase in the traffic squad or the creation of ad- ditional day beats. Chief Hart said today there is dissatisfaction on the part of some of the night men with the system and il may be changed. He doubts, however, that the oldest men who are on day beats would be required to work nights.
 For the present no changes will hc made in the detective bureau de- tail. the chief said. Later there may b4 q reorganization, but he did not care 10 say what form it will take.
 The quarterly change in heat as sigumcnts went into effect today. All the night men are transferred from the beats they have been Cov- criug. with the exception of q few or the men who were appointed a few weeks ago. The traffic men to- day made their customary changes in posts.
 The new night assignments are as follows.

Route Taken By Bird men Diverges But Little From That Fol- lowed By Stage Coach of Colonial Days
In 1772 Trip Which Now Takes But Few Hours Was Tedious Journey of a Weeks Duration.

Hartford July l.-Oyer the route from New York to Boston, by way Of Hartford, which an air mail plane covered today, for the first time, at a IO0-miie an hour clip, 151 years ago post riders galloped on horse back and stage coaches slowly numbered over hlll and down dale.
 The route as the crow flies which the planes will follow on contract air mail route number l diverges but little from the old colonial trail of the coach and the present right of way of the railroad connecting the terminals. Some portions Of the old trail may b. followed and reference in some localities is that of The Boston Turnpike" at others "The Kings Highway" and in southern Connecticut The Boston Post Road"
 Line Opened in 1712
 In I772 a stage line from Boston 10 New York was opened for mail and passengers. Eleven years later ir was firmly established by one Levi Pcase or Boston. The coaches, driven over rough and crooked roads, went through Worcester, Pal mer, Hartford and New Haven. It was q weeks journey In old car riages with shackting and harnesses of rope. A pair of horses carried stage Is miles. On reaching a resting place at night frugal sup per was served and the traveller gave notice to he called al 3 a. m, Whether it rained or showed the call was given and the traveller had to rise and make ready by aid of horn lantern and a farthing candle.

 CHARGE IS DENIED
Phila. Worker Says Ware Did Not
 Offer Him Money For Help
REINSTATEMENT ACCUSE
Reporters Insist O'Comor Said Ware Offered Him S75,O00, Then Sf5O.- 900 for His Hclp-Today's Denial is Second.

Washington, July 1. LP-After taking another glimpse into the at- fairs of the association against the prohibition amendment, the senate 6 campaign funds committee today again turned its attention to the senatorial primary in Pennsylvania and heard Frank x. O'Connor, a South Philadelphia primary magis- trate, deny that he had accused William S. Ware of trying to pur- chase his support for the senator ship.
 Under cross examination by Chair man Reed and in the face Of testi- mony to the contrary by three Phil adelphia newspapermen, O'Connor insisted that he never said Ware offered him $75,0O0 and then s150,- 900 for his aid in Nare's senatorial campaign against Senator Pepper and Gov. PinChot.
 His Second Denial
 IL was O'Connor's second appear ance before the committee and on the first occasion he made q similar denial, but afterward the three Philadelphia reporters all testified that he had made such a statement to them. When he took the stand today, Senator Reed read 10 him his previous testimony and asked whether he wanted 10 modify it.
 q want to still say l did not make that statement to newspaper men on election night" said the magistrate.
 Did you make 1t on election day."
 "I did not. "
 Did you make it al any time?"
 'I did not.
 The chairman then took the wit ness over details of the testimony given by the three reporters, but he stuck 10 his denial,
 During the committees brief ex- cursion into the affairs Of the asso- citation against the prohibition the witness stand was occupied by Charles s. Wood or Pennsylvania, campaign manager of the wet organization. He disclosed that S1,2o0 had been set aside by the association to work toward the holding of prohibition referendums in Montana and Nevada, but said none of the S1 ,4o0 or $l,500 raised recently by a volunteer committee in Pennsylvania was spent in the Keystone state.
 S3,500 To Help Ware
 The witness corroborated yester- days testimny by William H. Stay ton, head of the association, that s3,5oO was sent into Pennsylvania by the National organization to pay for mass meetings in the interest of Ware. who ran on a modification platform.
