.SHIPPEE DECLINES
 ID DISCUSS BANK
May Have Announcement To-
 morrow on Commercial Trust

Whether efforts to effect reor- ganiZation Of the Commercial Trust co. in time to avoid the appoint ment of q receiver will be successful before tomorrow was problematical this afternoon. Rumors were rife in banking circles but all oI them lack ed official verification and Bank Commissioner Lester F. Shippee, on whose order the bank suspended business last Saturday, said nobody was in a position 10 announce any thing of a definite nature.
 "Certain plans for reorganization are under consideration but I con- sidor it unWize 10 give them public ity today because the effect might be to raise false hopes" the com missioner said at his office in the state capitol at Hartford. "All plans are in abeyance for today it least, but l expect 10 have an announce mcnt tomorrow forenoon"
 In the event that decision is made 10 apply to superior court for the appointment CT a receiver. Commis- sioncr Shippoe said it could be done tomorrow, as it is only necessary 10 obtain the signature of q judge to the application. No formal hearing in open court Is required at this time.
 Attorney John King of the attor- hey generals office will probably present the application for Commjs- sioncr Shippee. as he has acted in that capacity fer the commissioner in other similar situations. Attorney King said. in reply tq questions bearing on the situation, that action will bo taken tomorrow "0nc way or the o'n"r' his comment being substantially tho same as that Of Commissioner Shippec.
 Hickey still Investigating
 Several New Britain mon have been interviewed during the past few days by County Detective Ed ward j, Hickey at his office in Hart ford, as part of the investigation into the source Of the malicious and Viciou~' reports which Prosi- dent John C. Loomis planes for the run on the bank which caused th4 suspension Of business. Among those questioned at the county building Wednesday Was New Britain brok- cr whose name has been prominrnt- ly linked with the alleged spreading Of the reports about the condition ot the bank.
 Although he would not say whetu- CT action will be taken, County De- teclivc Hickey admitted the dfLicul- ty Of carrying on a successful pro- secution under the statute applying in tho case. He and States Attor- nuy Alcoru pointed out that even if they learned definitely that ru- mors had been spread. It would be necessary, 10 obtain conviction ln a criminal court, to prove that the lumors were false and had been circulated with malicious intent. be tectiye Hickey would not say that the Investigation has been dropped. We ate still plugging along at It and beyond that 1 cannot say any thing" he observed

STARLINGS BECOME
CEMETERY PESTS
Rifles and Torpedoes Prove In
effective in Routing Birds
From Rock Creek.

Not content TO modest the living,
Washington's pestiferous starlings now
have launched a campaign to deface
tonnbs Of the dead.
Thousands of the chattering birds,
driven from their former hauntS on
Pennsylvania avenue, have established
themselves in the towering trees of
Rock Greek Cemetery, prompting dis
concerted officials to employ rifle IRE
and Fourth of July torpedoes against
the feathered nuisances.
One of the offcials said today the
rifles and torpedoes have proved in
effective and that permission Will be
asked of the Police Department to use
shotguns in the determined offensive.
Many Of the tombStones in the N
section, an older part of the cemetery,
have been almost covered by the birds,
it was stated. The graves themselves
have not escaped dissertation and visit
ors to the cemetery have been repeat
eddy harassed.
The rifles and torpedoes were tried
out under the direction of Colan Harry,
foreman of the cemetery force. It was
stated today that the explosions merely
frightened the birds from one tree to
another. The rifles we're used with the
special permission Of the police.
The torpedoes are Of the type thrown
against the pavement by small boys on
Independence day. The impact ex-
plodes the miniature bombs with loud
report, The cemetery employees have
been exploding the torpedoes against
the upper limbs Of the large shade
trees with Indifferent success.
II believe shotguns are the bnSi
weapons to use against the birds" q
cemetery official declared today. I'VE
are going to try the plan, anyway, pro.
viding we can obtain permission from

RHODE ISLAND AVE.
SIGNALS TO CHANGE
Traffic Director Harland Working
: Out New Lights to Quicken
Movements.

A change In the trafic signal system
on Rhode Island avenue from First to
Twelfth street Is being worked out by
Traffic Director William H. Harland.
It will take several weeks more to COM
plete and must be approved by the Dis
trict Commissioners before being put
into effect. It Is designed to increase
the non-rush-hour average speed of
vehicles traverSing this area from
about IA to about 10 miles per hour.
The system now in force is known as
the limited progressive type" and the
system being designed is the flexible
progressive type" The difference Is this:
In the present system all of the lights
are worked from master timer, which
makes the red-to-green or green-to-red
changes automatically all at once.
The progressive feature is that a
small block of lights is turned to green
while the block of lights just ahead is
red. The theory is that once a car mas
traverSed the green block the red block
ahead will change to green and the car
will not have to stop. This is the the
DRY, but not the practice. The blocks
are Of different lengths and carry vary
ing loads of traffic, but there is no flexi-
bility. In the turning on or of Of the
individual lights to take care of these
variations. Under the proposed system
these variations viii be taken into &C.
count, and by the use Of individual
timers installed at every block, the red
and green periods of that particular
block can be heightened or shortened
at will by another control switch
The plan was suggested by '. Row
land Bibbins In his report on traffic
conditions to the Traffic Council last
year, but until this time no attempts
have been made to put the plan into
effect.

CATION of reputed collision between

Is liquor law violators because OF in
sufIicient evidence, and at the same time
suggested q nominal bond for the Of
