State College Professors.
Others Assert That State Should
Care For Own instructors.

New York, Nov. 2O.-Whether the
Carnegie foundation for the advance
ment of teachers should provide PEN
sions for retired professors of state
universities as well as those Of other
Institutions of learning. was consider
ed at a meeting Of the board Of trus-
tees of the foundation today.
Henry S. Pritchett. president of the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
and of the Foundation also. contcnded
that the various states should take
care of their university professors. say
ing that if the Foundation pcnsioned
them, it would establish dangerous
precedent and relieve the states Of all
responsibility.
DR.. c. r. Van Hise, president of the
University of Wisconsin. maintained
however, that the university presidents
had no control over the legislatures
and unless their professors were pen
stoned by the Foundation they would
probably never be pensioned at all
Action in the matter was deferred.
Among the trustees. all of whom are
college or university presidents, pres
ent today, were Charles w. Eliot, Har-
ward, who presided: Nicholas NJ. But

HARDE AN OBJECTOR

Belfast, Ireland, Jan 26.-A reso- lution in favor of the extension of the franchise to all adult men and wo- men was carried at to-day's session of the conference of the labor party of the United Kingdom by 605,000 to 26S,00O votes represented. This was an amendment to the original resolution which favored the exten- sion of the right of election to wo- men as well as the right to vote. James Kier Hardie, M. F.. who was an upholder of the original proposal, declared that if the resolution adopt ed was intended to limit the action of the labor party in parliament he would be obliged to seriously con- slider whether he could remain member of the party.
 After the adoption of resolutions in favor of substituting arbitration for war as preliminary to universal disarmament and in support of a na- tional education policy, education to be under full popular control, and the whole cost of the system to be met from the imperial treasury, the conference closed.

SAYS NO OPPOSITION.
Representative Goodrich Talks About
 County Commissioner Geddes.

Representative A. I. Goodrich was asked to-day concerning the report that there Is a vigorous opposition to the renomination of Colonel James E. Geddes for county commissioner. and he said that the rumor is with out foundation. So far as he was aware, Mir Goodrich stated that he knew of no opposition to the renom- ination of the colonel. at least in the county caucus, and he did not be- lieve that Governor Woodruff had any feeling against him.
 The report has been broadcast in New Haven and some of the lobby travellers in the Capitol made 1t their business to spread it there, so that in the course of a day 1t was gen. erally rumored that the colonel from Waterbury was going to have trou- ble.
 Governor Woodruff has involved himself with rumor also in the pro- ject to have all county commissioners nominated by the governor hereafter. It is said that he has seen the ad- visibility of showing to the public that he has no desire to centralize authority in the governorship and to that end 1t is reported that he will request that nominations for county commissioners be taken from the table next Tuesday.

IT WAS BLAKESLEE DAY.
Thousands of Children Lined Up for
 Annual Ride.

Ralph N. Blakeslee's annual sleighride to the children of Water bury took place this afternoon and was a success away and beyond the most sanguine expectations of even MT Blakeslee himself, who figured on entertaining 6.000, but the number of boys and girls in the 116 large two horse sleighs must have exceeded that, but as matter of fact, 1t would be hard to get at exact figures. MT Blakeslee and family rode at the head of the procession and occasion ally blew a horn that made noise which must have been heard all over town,
 People flocked from all sections and when the procession started the sidewalks were thronged with sight seers and scme say that more people were in Exchange place at that time than ever before, not even excepting circus day. Most of the teams be- longed to MT Blakeslee ana the rest were furnished by the factories and others. one or two being in line from Naugatuck and one marked Bristol Star"
 The weather conditions were just right and the youngsters were in their glory. They yelled whats the matter with Blakeslee?" and an- swered He's all right" until they were hoarse, hollored at those whom they recognized on the streets and appeared to have the time of their lives. Considering the number of children on hand they behaved re- markedly we'll. much better than on former occasions so that in addition to increasing in numbers the boys and girls of Waterbury are making headway along the lines which all who have an interest in their well fare want to see them. It was a wonderful sight and in another year or so the shops will want to shut down when Blakeslee day comes around so that the hands may have an opportunity to get out and take in the sights. It is now admitted on all sides that Blakeslee has Barnum beaten a mile and from now on the occasion will be down on the calendar as Blakeslee Day.
 Several of the policemen who are on duty during the night volunteered their services to Mir Blakeslee and along the line of march saw to it that everything was carried out in the proper manner.
