SCOTLAND YARD
 AFTER WAR ARMS

London, July 1S-(UP) Scotland Yard is expected soon to appeal to the public to surrender the scores of thousands of World war pistols kept as trophies, as the result of the attempt of George Andrew Mo- Mahon to shoot King Edward.
 It is estimated about 100000 H. censed fire arms are possessed by private individuals and most of these are war trop..ios.
 In addition to the expected ape peal for surrender of the trophies, it is believed that the already rigid licensing system for fire arms will be frightened further.
 There were hints that McMahon might be dealt with as 6 rnadman. He is due ) appear at Bow street police court July 24 for a hearing.

Corporation Counsel Charles &. O'Connor stated today that he has completed the preparation of data he will present to the state Public Utilities commission on Tuesday in support of the city's contention that the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company should bear part of the expense of build- ing the new Baldwin street bridge. Mayor Frank Hayes, City Engineer Robert A. Cairns and other city officials are expected to attend the hearing, also.
 Why Road Should Pay
 The city plans to swing a new bridge across the Mad river at the corner of Mill and Baldwin streets. The New Haven roads tracks run alongside the river and will pass under the new bridge. Therefore, the city contends that the railroad should pay for that portion of the bridge which spans the company's tracks. The Baldwin street bridge project is one of the largest of its kind undertaken in the city in some years.
