 1000 in Fairfield as compared to about
 3,000 here. He had supervision of 19
 schoC, buildings in the Fairfield dis trict to probably 3 dozen here
 One of the most important posts of
 preparation, equipping him for the
 work of school uperintendent. was in
 Greene, N Y, where he had a school
 which was in effect a teacher training class in connection with the high
 school, in which the course was equal to one year in normal school
 The Norwich committee under town consolidation has completed it's in spection of the school buildings. One of the problems of magnitude now be- fore it Is how to arrange the salary question for the list of teachers The
 problem is complicated from the fact that at Broadway school the salaries paid have ranged higher than in the
 other districts, and it ls'a question how to so adjust this detail as to satisfy all. One member of the committee has stated that 1t could easily be adjusted if the salaries were all to be graded up to the Broadway mark, but the committee has doubts ns to what re- ception such move would receive al the hands of the taxpayers,

 tended to be only for members of the
 associations, but any business man in- i terested in attending will be welcome
 as the committee will have the tickets for general sale, and want to make the picnic a big affair
 An intercity baseball game was also talked of, Secretary Charles W. Pear

CONGRESSMAN HIGGINS
 FILES INDIGNANT PROTEST
connsstieqt Member of Hanford h. vestiqation Committee Opposes Methods of MsIdy'ty'

Seattle, Wash, Ttns o-I .lhcdror1it- lie ,I,,lI ity Of the house judiciary D. Tano of tee. Representatives James Gra-,. v Illinois and Walter 1. Mccoy of Ne,- Jersey, came into open conflict today with the minority member, Represen- tative Edwin w. Higgins of Conneeti- cut, over the manner of conducting the inquiry into the conduct of United States Judge Cornelius H. Hanford.
 Mccoy told of rumors that evidence was being suppressed and witnesses were being intimidated. Chairman Graham announced that the commit tee was seeking discriminating" evil dence. Chairman Graham referred to himself and Mccoy as the majority and asserted that the majority would rule.
 Charles F. Peterson. timber and coal land dealer, testified that several times he had seen Judge Hanford ap parently under the influence of liquor.
 There is no question in my mind that the man was very drunk" he said.
 Hanford's counsel cross examined Peterson concerning his motives in ap- bearing and Representative Mccoy said the witness appeared as a result
 
 Chairman Graham. Representative Higgins angrily desired 1t to be noted that he was not party to the con- ference.
 Mir Mccoy explained that Higgins was in Tacoma, else he would have been consulted lin answer to Me Coys questions Peterson described the conference.
 Peterson said he begged that he be not brought into the case, as his bus mess probably would be affected. One witness said that he had been told at the conference by Mccoy that the
 lawyers of the city were apparently afraid to go ahead and say anything regarding Judge Hanford. and that there ought to be some people in Seat tie who would have the courage to come forward to testify"
 Here MT. Higgins made statement for the Record that he was not pres ent when this conversation occurred.
 Chairman Graham requested the newspapers to print the committed s request that anyone having material evidence should present it, so that when the committee left Seattle it could not be said that an opportunity had not been given for such testimony. MT. Higgins protested against the is suance of this invitation
 Counsel Hutches for Judge Hanford protested against recording Mccoy questions about the alleged refusal of people to testify. saying that theye were a reflection on the people of Seattle. Mir. Graham, after refrring to the difficulty of obtaining evidence said that the attorney had been mis- understood. The committee had come to seek discriminating evidence, he said. and If enough discriminating evidence were found to recommend inn peachment of Judge Hanford. Several eminent jurists and lawyers testified strongly in favor of Judge Hanford, saying they had never known him to be intoxicated, and had never seen him inattentlve in court, though his pe- culiarities might make persons who did not know him think that he was | asleep.
