Former High Sheriff
 May Be U. Marshal
Reilly Slated to Succeed Jacob Walter Is Report;
 Latter Anxious to Relinquish Present Post

missioner Oct. 1. He would like to be relieved of the marshal's respon- abilities as far as possible before that time, it is said.
 Reilly has strong backing for the federal job. One of his supporters Is understood to be Senator Francis T. Maloney of Meriden, while other party leaders are likewise said to be favorable to the Stam- ford mans candidacy.
 Walter has been in office as a hold-over. no one having been ap- pointed to take his place when his term ran out officially. The same goes for his deputies, one of whom Is Joseph Park of New Haven. Park will probably likewise be re- lieved of his federal job.
 Marshal Walter is well-known in this city, having had much off, cial business to perform here dur ing his term of office. He has made federal investigations here. and taken custody of federal prisoners being held for trial in the district courts.

tire week of Aug. 25 in White Sulphur Springs, west Va., where the photograph -> was taken in 1869.
 The identifications accepted by the committee are the rcsnlt of many years research by Leonard l.. Mackall, wcll.known authority on IEeana, who lives at 217 East S4th St., Savannah, Ga. His rec port submitted to the committee is substantiatcd by documents and other old photographs, leaving no room for doubt that each of the historic pcrsonages appearing In the film is now properly named and as such will be accepted as authentic at one of the cercmO. nics at the Lee Week celcbra- ton.
 Although the photograph has been reproduced many times since 1869, ncverein recent years, and probably not Tor at least fife ty years, has the photograph shown names correctly, either in newspapers, magazines or histor. ical works, according to Mackall, who in his report says: "In The Photographic History of the Civil War, edited by Francis Trcval- yan Miller, the photograph is described as Soldiers and Clti. zcns: Robert E. Lee With FoA. mer Union and Confederate Lea. ders After the Armies Work Was Donc.' Beneath, the Confcd. crate General, Gary, is identified as the Union General, John w. Geary. General LawtOn Is mls. taken for the Union General Lew Wallace! In another work Gen. eral Conner is described as Gen. neral George H. Thomas of the Union Army. In an important history issued within the last two years, in which the photograph Is reproduced, of all those stand. ing only General Bcauregard Is correctly indicated, the other seven names being wrongly placed and also partly incom- plete or entirely inaccurate"
 According to the now accepted identifications, subjects seated In the photograph, commencing from the left, are 1) Blacque Bey, Turkish Minister to the Uni- ted States, 1S87 to 1873; 9 Gen. cPal Lee; S) George Peabody of Massachusetts, philanthropist; 4) w. w. Corcoran of Washing. ton, philanthropist, donor of the CorcOran Gallery; 5) Judge James. Lyons of Richmond, Vr., lawyer, member of the House of Representatives in the First Confederate Congress, 1S02.4, intimate friend of Jefferson Davis, President of the Confed- crate States of America.
 All subjects standing are Con. federatc Generals. Commencing from the left, 1) is General James Conner of South Caro- lima, attorney general of that State under Wade Thompson; 2) General Martin w. Gary of South Carolina; 3) Major Gen. cral J. Bankhcad Gruder of Virginia: 4) General Robert D. Iilley of Virginia; 5) General Beaurcgard of Louisiana ;8) General Alexander R.

HIGHWAY PATROL
 TO COOPERATE

New Haven, Conn.,, Aug. 24 - (UP) = Organization of Q WPA highway patrol, to cooperate with state police in reducing traffic haz- ards, has been proposed by WPA Director Matthew A. Daly.
 Daly said he would confer with State Police Commissioner Anthony Sunderland and Motor Vehicles Commissioner Michael A. Connor and if the plan were found accept able, would seek approval at Wash. ington.
 Tt strikes me-" said Daly, "that such a plan will serve two helpful purposes; create jobs for men now on relief and more important, make our highways safe for weekend mo- torists." .- .N..
 He recommended formation of an advisory safety patrol" composed of several hundred men. stationed at strategic points on main high ways in the 169 cities and towns. They would be without arresting powers and merely would warn motorists of travel hazards.
