Microscopic Measurement.


The measurement OF microscopic OBJ
jects Is done by rulings on glass.
which are produced by wonderfully
delicate machines. These rulings are
constructed SO as to accurately divide
an inch or any other unit Of measure
ment into any desired number Of
parts-as. for instance. one one-hun-
dredtb Of an inch or one one-thou-
sandth Of an inch or even one ten
thousandth of an inch. The finest ruiz
ings thus far produced by any OF the
machines are at the rate OF something
like 100000 to the inch. Some idea OF
the closeness Of the ruled lines can b
obtained from considering that thou
sand such lines would occupy only the
space included In the thickness Of =
sheet OF ordinary writing paper.-New

NEGRO BURGLAR ENTERED INTO
 l5 PLACES

When Edward Coleman, the negro burglar, apprehended here last week. was arraigned before Judge Richard H. Tyner, who occupied the city court bench here today, the police asked that he be held under the same ball. $2,50O, for several days more, while they round up more witnesses against Coleman. Judge Tyner held the negro until next Tuesday and ordered the same bail.
 The police say that when Coleman is placed on trial they will have fully 5 distinct counts of burglary against him that they will be ready to prove through the identification of loot found in Co1enan's rooms in New Haven. There are many more burg laries of which they are convinced Coleman is the perpetrator, but in which the evidence is not available.

TOM TACCART FORGED INTO
 OPEN FIGHT
Seeks Endorsement of Democratic State Convention as Party'S Opponent to Senator
 Beveridge.
Especial from United Press.) .


 Indianapolis, April 2O.-National Committeeman Thomas Taggart will go before the Democratic State Con Vention next week as a candidate for United States Senator if the conven- tion endorses Governor Marshal1s suggestion and decides to name the party's opponent of Senator Albert J. Beveridge.
 A close personal friend of the French Lick delegation here said today that Taggart asked for his support in the race which he would enter because he believes he may succeed.
 It is expected that Taggart will make a public announcement of his candidacy two Or three days before the convention.
 When Governor Marshall first pro posed that tAe party fn Indiana adopt popular election of United States Sen ators many well versed in the game thought the governor was aiming al the national committeeman. It would preclude ahy attempt by Taggart to reach the Senate. No one ever indi- -cated that Taggart would have the temerity to go before the convention as a candidate.
 According to Taggart's associates, however, he has been forced into the open to fight it over Governor Mar shalIs plan.

EVERY MEMBER OF ALPHA ALPHA TO COME BEFORE
 BOARD OF EDUCATION
Must Explain Hazng of Miss Lorraine Clark Feb A. at tha Home of One of the Members Societies Within High
 School Will Almost Certainly be Abolished

Bridgeport will be filled with inves- tigation, Monday, unless the plans of the Municipal authorities are changed within the next few days. In the Common Council chamber the con- structfon of the Fairfield avenue high way will be probed. In the rooms of the. Board of Education, Monday ev- ening. the hazing of Miss Lorraine Clark daughter of Rep. Fayette C.. Clark, will be inquired into by the full board.
 Miss Clark and all the members of Alpha Alpha, the society which did the hazing will be called before the board. The young women may be accompa- nfed by their parents, if the latter de- sire to come. It seems practically as sured that the board will conduct the investigation in executive session, un- less a considerable public protest should be made against star chamber methods in so important a matter.
 At this meeting the general subject of High school secret societies will not be discussed. Nor will the mat ter of their abolition be taken up. All the time will be given to finding just what was done to Miss Clark, where and by whom.
 The members of the board believe that they have already procured ac-

MISS MCCARTHY WEDDED TO MIR.
 JOSEPH FARRELL

Miss Bridget Mccarthy. daughter of MT. and Mrs. John McCarthy, of 82 West avenue. and Joseph Farrell, a Brewing Co.,, were married at the Sa- cred Heart church at o'clock this morning. Rev. Father Judge celebrat- ed the nuptia1 high mass. Joseph Mulligan was the best man and Miss Mary Mccarthy. sister of the bride, was bridesmaid.
 The church was well filed with rel atives and well wishers of the happy couple. Following the ceremony the bridal party repaired to the new home of the couple, 600 Farral avenue. where a wedding breakfast was served. MT. and Mrs. Farrell left the city on noon train for honeymoon trip of one week On their return they will be at home to their friends in Harral avenue.
 Many handsome gifts, including sil- yer ware, furniture and linen were showered on the popular contracting parties.

curate information as to what was lone and where. But just who the active hazers were has not been clear ed up.
 Facts point to the conclusion that the drastic initiation of Miss Clark was accomplished at a meeting of Alpha Alpha, held on, or about, Feb. 4, at the house of L.. D. Plumb, 406 Stratford avenue, the home of one of the members of the sorority.
 It is understood, however, that the initiation was entirely without the knowledge of MT. and Mrs. Plumb, and that Miss Plumb was not more con cerned in it than any other member of the society.
 In talk over the telephone, with a representative of the Farmer, Mrs. Plumb said, in response to the ques- tion, Did the initiation of Miss Clark take place at you home?"
 1T do not know whether it did or not.''
 In response to the question, Could it take place without your knowing it?'' she replied,
 .I do not know whether it could or not"
 It seems to be certain that the board will take action looking to the exclu- sion of the secret societies from the schools, under such penalties as will be effective.
