 SAY THINGS
Uncle Joe Says Clark Wants T to Be a Czar and Clark Says Uncle Joe is Getting Paresis - Caustic Inter views Upon New House Rules This Morning.

washington, March 16.-Speaker Can non and Representative Champ Clark, leader o6 the minority in the House, paid their respects to each other at the White House today. According to the Speaker, Clark is a would-be Czar and MT. Clark is of the opinion that Uncle Joe is getting paresis.''
 The Speaker and his stalwart oppon- ent met at the White House by chance. Uncle Joe'' came in at 10. and spent nearly three-quaTters of an hour in the Presidents office, and Clark came in nt 1o.3o with the other members of the committee appointed to notify the President that Congress was in ses- sion
 Uncle Joe'' was the first one to emerge from the Presidents office. As he paused to light one of his famous black cigars, he was asked: How did yesterdays proceedings suit you, MT. Speaker?"
 "The Iron Duke of American politics. struck a characteristic attitude, and began waving his terrible ieft.'' '"rhe amendments have improved the rules" he exclaimed, shaking his fist in the Queetioner'e face. The House Is virile because it can operate by the will of the majority. This talk about rot. What they wanted and tried to do was to create committee of fiji teen CzarS dominated by Champ Clark and LaF'ollette-and LaFollette is a fake"
 The Speaker thereupon abruptly dashed out of the building leaving a trail of smoke behind him like a freight train on an up hill grade.
 Champ Clark male his exit from the Presidents office a, few minutes later and did not look at all happy. He was asked the same question that had brought forth the vigorous language from the Speaker.
 "1 don't think that the amendments improved the rules to any extent he replied ''Dt shows though, that the gang can be beaten once in a. w11ile.''
 Uncle Joe said that you wanted to be a Car with your committee of 15,'' MT. Clark was informed
 I'm afraid Uncle Joe is getting paresis." exclaimed Clark, as he climb ed into the taxicab that had brought the committee to the White House.

our time was taken up and our par at piece work was Iessened. Last of alll they told us we would have to car ry our own iron.
 This left us with swell chance of making even frugal living and wal not a far wage Whether the condi- ton of the times require the doind away with the helpers or not we don't know, but the majority of the men ara of the opinion that Supt. Bunne1l, who was our foreman, wants to make the company sorry they did not make him Superintendent before''
 One of the English speaking holders said he had been holding on for the small money because he could not get work He added that he was surprised to see the Hungarians protest because they had worked for little money with much patience for many years.
 The Hungarians. he said. have aI- ways been loyal to the company be- cause the firm was; the first to put emigrants of their nationality to work in this city and there must be some thing wrong when they kick.
 William J. GripTdn, general manager and treasurer of the concern, said that the company preferred rot to make any statement or to be quoted in the matter, and that he had nothing to say at the present time.
 The men said that Supt. BunnelI tried to argue with them that they were foolish to leave when times were as hard as they. are at the present time.
 As the men are unorganized it may be that many will return to work within a few days for want of some thing better. As for tonight the strik- company when it comes to pouring the 27 ions of iron.

 Occasions.
Banquet Will Be Unusual Affair Among Speakers Are John T. King, Edward F. Hallen, John s. Pull man, Bryan F. Mahan of New London and Joseph Hartigan of New York.

The banquet of the Knights of St. Patrick which will be held in the Stratheld, tomorrow night, promises to be the most successful affair ever given by the organization. The speeches which will follow the dinner are expected to be interesting. Cover nor Lilley, who is to respond to the toast, "The State of Connecticut" may take the occasion to say something concrete on the contest which is now being waged between special privilege on one side aid the progressive ele- ment in the general assembly on the other. Governor Woodruff frequently selected social occasions of this nature for the announcement of his position on public questions. It Is not inn probable that Governor Liliey may fol- low his example.
 Mayor Lee has a similar opportunity He is set down for an answer to the toast, Our City"

BLOCK BETTER THAN ASPHALT CROKER WRITES Fire Chiefs of Boston and New York Give Approz
 val to Wood Paving. Letters in Response to Re quest of Bridgeport Bus
 mess Men.
 Trouble in New Haven Ap- pears to be Due to Defec- tive Work and Blocks Not Thoroughly Impregnated With Oil-Meadow Street as t'Atrocious' Example.
as "Atrocious'' Example

The opposition of the New Haven newspapers to wood block. based upon experience with wood pavement in that city, has caused Main street business men to make a further investigation into the experience of the cities of the country where wood has been most extensively used and has enjoyed the longest trial.
 The result of this investigation is we'll expressed in two letters, one writ ten by Edward F. Croker. chief of the New York Fire Department. and the other by John A. Mullen. chief of the Boston Fire Department.
 Chief Croker gives his unqualified with asphalt. Chief Mullen says that wood is no slippier than asphalt. if it is kept clean. Chief Croker's letter follows:
 Dear Sir:-In reply to your com munication of the 12th inst, requesting information in relation to wood block pavements. I desire to state that from my experience I think the wooden block is much preferable to asphalt streets. Yours respectfully.
 ''EDW. F. CROKER.
 "Chief of Department
 The letter from Chief Mullen. is as follows:
 Dear Sir:-Replying to your letter wood block pavement is kept thorough 1y clean. the possibility of slipping up- on it is no greater than upon asphalt. stIt is absolutely necessary that it must be kept clean. Hoping the above opinion may serve to benefit you in your selection. I re- main very truly yours.
 JOHN A. MULLEN,
 "Chief of Department" Bridgeport men who have examined the wood block laid in New Haven say that the work done on most of the streets so paved is grossly defective. The blocks have swelled. This is be- cause the wood was not properly creosoted and its pores well filled with oil The pavement on Meadow street in New Haven is characterized as an "atrocious' job by a well informed man who has examined it.
