new TIMING USED
ON TRAFFIC LIGHTS
Flexible Progressive" System Ex-
tended in Northwest Resi-
Dental Section.

The new flexible progressive system
of traffic light timing was put in OPP
Grafton last night in the central north
west residential section to facilitate the
flow Of automobiles on Fifteenth, Six
teenth and Eighteenth streets and on
Massachusetts avenue
Through streets will be held open
longer than cross streets under a tim
ing arrangement based on traffic
check which has been in progress for
several months. Side streets bearing
only half as much traffic will hold the
green light only half as long.
The lights on the main streets have
been timed in relation to each other
so as to permit an automobile to pro-
coed at % miles an hour with green
lights through the entire zone
The new timing was put into effect
in zone 2. including Fifteenth street
from L to Y streets. Sixteenth street
from I to Florida avenue, Scott Circle,
Rhode Island and Massachusetts ave-
nueS, from Fourteenth to Eighteenth
streets. K street from Sixteenth to
Eighteenth street, Eighteenth street
from H to N street and Connecticut
avenue at NJ and Eighteenth streets.
The new timing will affect 38 inter-
sections
The new zone is based on a plan de-
veloped on Rhode Island avenue from
Twelfth street to North Capital street
and on Massachusetts avenue from Du-
pont Circle to Twenty second street
Traffic officials yesterday found they
could drive the approximate mile and
quarter from I street to Florida ave-
nue. on Sixteenth street in three and
half minutes.
Work will be begun at once to install
the new system in the downtown Sec
ton, or zone l, which should be in OPP
Grafton in about two months. 1t is
planned eventually to control the Dis
trict-wide system from a central con-

B. L. Mann, a. Is Accused
of $11,850 Shortage in
Cash Account.
BRIDE OF TWO MONTHS

Bond Company Probe Leads to Ar
rest of Man Gone Since Memo
rial Day Week End.

Alleged to have absconded May %
with Sll,850, Bernard L. Mann, "a,
teller at the Morris Plan Bank 1408
II street, was arrested last night in Los
angeles, according to dispatches from
mat city. 1t had not been learned to-
day whether any of the money said to
have been stoen was recovered.
The Employers Liability Assurance
Co, which was on Manns bond and
made good the loss to the bank, has
begun extradition proceedings to bring
the teller back to Washington.
He was traced through the efforts Of
the bonding company which conducted
It's own investigation and broadcast its
own lookout for him.
Bride Is With Him.
With him at the time of his arrest
was his 20-year-old wife, Mrs. Ruth
Mann, whom he is said TO have
married about two months ago in
Endicott, Md.
Officials of the Morris Plan Bank
said they last saw Mann the Saturday
before Memorial day The next working
day, Tuesday, he did not appear and
an investigation of his cash box re-
vealed a shortage of Sll $50, they said
1t was said that Manns books were
found to be in GOOD order.
The bank at once notified the bond
ing company, which had its agents
search his apartment on Dupont circle.
Nothing was found there, but the jan
itor informed them that a trunk had
been shipped to some town in Western
Maryland over the week end.
Barker Issues Statement
President Barker of the bank issued
the following statement:
According to an Associated Press
dispatch, Bernard L. Mann, "a, was
arrested last night in Los Angeles.
Calf, where he is being held pending
extradition to the District Of Columbia.
Until recently, Mr.. Mann was one
of the paying tellerS at the Morris
Plan Bank. An audit of his accounts
disclosed an item of sll,650 difference
in his cash. for which he has not &C
counted. This item was alleged in
one of the morning papers to be
Sl05000. which is a typographical
error, the difference being, not Sl05,-
900. but sll850.
The Morris Plan Bank will sustain
no loss, due to the fact that the bank
is fully covered by a bond protecting
it against any loss whatsoever in this
connection.
The entire matter is in the hands
of the bonding company and the ar
rest of Mr.. Mann was presumably on
the initiation of either the police au
thorities or the bonding company"
