PLUMS FROM HANDS OF
 COMMITTEE OF THREE
Baldwin, Landsrs and Forster to Have Disposal of Democratic Pat ronaqe.

Senator Archibald McNeil, Jr., of Bridgeport is now out with a state ment to the effect that the report he had agreed to MT. Landers as presi- dent of the senate, he himself to get the chairmanship of the committee on cities and boroughs, was entirely unauthorized, and, in fact, it was not true.
 The steering committee, of which Senator Charles s. Avery of this city is a member. at it's recent meeting planned the naming of all who shall do the sponsoring for federal patron gramme now outlined 1t Is said Gov ernor Baldwin, MT. Landers and George Forster of Rockville, the chair man of the democratic state central committee. will be the persons whose approval must be given for any ap- pointments to legislative committee chairmanships. All appointments for such chairmanships must pass before this triumyirate before they go through.
 Under the same code for the con- duct of the party in this state, Major Louis E, Stoddard, with possibly the triumvirate named. will have the say as to who shall be favored with fed eral jobs in this state by the gift of President Wilson. This will make New Haven the big political center with the democrats who are after federal jobs. Incidentally, Major Stoddard will be put in immediate training for the mayoralty next fall. The plan of the steering committee as made known to local democrats seemed to arouse no special opposition, but down in Bridgeport, Senator McNeil and some of his friends do not fancy the plan for the movement of the democratic forces in this state as 1t has been mapped out by the steering committee in New Haven. McNeil is showing his objection to the plan. How much damage he will do to the steering com mittee's work remains to be seen.

MENTIONED FOR PLACE
 OF HIGHWAY COMMISSIONER
Charles H. Preston, Jr., Considered a Strong Candidate for State Appoint nent,

According to a Waterbury paper, Charles H. Preston, Jr., formerly of this city. may be considered strong candidate for the office of state high way commissioner.
 The way the situation looks in Wa terbury is shown as follows:
 With Governor Baldwin reelected and the position of state highway commissioner about to be filled many local and state reports are rife as to who the new state highway commits sioner will be who shall succeed James H. Macdonald.
 Governor Baldwin has fully decided that the position must be filled by a man who is not only entirely familiar with highway construction but also must be a civil engineer of ability.
 About year ago. when rumors had it that Macdonald was to be retired, there were several candidates for the position, among whom were William H. Caldwell, civil engineer. of New Britain, Alfred H. Terry, civil engi- neer. of New Haven, J.. Frederick Jackson, civil engineer, of New Ha- ven, Charles H. Preston. Jr., civil en- gineer, of Waterbury. and a few oth- CTS.
 Since that time MT. Terry has been appointed city engineer or Brldgeport and is believed to be out of the race for the commissionership, but Messrs Caldwell, Preston and Jackson are still being considered.
 MT. Caldwell is a civil engineer ot much experience, has built up fine business in New Britain, has had much experience in highway construction, is democrat and is considered strong man for the place.
 MT. Preston is the civil engineer em- ployed by the New Haven railroad to engineer their $5,O0O,00 railroad inn provements here, lasting nearly five years, and for four years has had g private practice as civil and consult ] ing engineer with offices in the Holmes building, and is also considered 2 strong man for the position, having had about seventeen years of heavy
 construction work of all kinds to de.
 sign and supervise.
 | J. Frederick Jackson of New Have1 l is the secretary of the Connecticut So. ciety of Civil Engineers and is al
 engineer of much repute in and abou his home city.

FACTS FROM CONNECTICUT CENSUS
GAS Per Cent of School Age Attended SchooL-Ierates in the State Are Only Per Cent.-About One Third the Population Married 911 Dwellings and 246,659 Families in the State

ties (6) is somewhat higher than that in rural communities (5.2). although for each class separately the percent age is higher in the rural,
 For persons from 10 to 20 years, in- elusive, whose literacy depends large ly upon present school facilities and school attendance, the percentage of illiteracy is only 2.2.
 Marital Condition.
 In the population IS years of age and over 39,3 per cent. of the males are single and 9s.6 per cent of the females. The percentage married is 55.S for males and 54.6 for females, and the percentage widowed is AS and 11.2, respectively. The percentages of those reported as divorced, 0.S and 0.4, respectively, are believed to be too small, because of the probability that many divorced persons class them selves as single or widowed.
 That the percentage single is smaller for women than for men is due largely to the fact that women marry young er Thus 5.7 per cent. of the females from 1b to 19 years of age are mar ried, as compared with 0.5 per cent, of the males, and 39,6 per cent, of the females from 20 to 24 years are mar ried, as compared with 1S.5 per cent. of the males. In the next age group, 25 to 34 years. the difference is not so great, the percentages being 6s,9 for females and 59,S for males, while in the age group 95 to A the differ ence practically disappears. That there is a larger proportion of widows than of widoWers may indicate that men more often remarry than women, but since husbands are generally older than their wives, the marriage rela- tionship is more often broken by death of the husband than by death of the wife.
 For the main elements of the popu- lation the percentages of married per sons among those 15 years of age and over are as follows: Foreign born whites, 63,2 for males and 66.2 for females; native whites of native par entage, 56.7 and 51.S, respectively; native whites of foreign or mixed par entage, 39.4 and 42.9, respectively; negroes, 56.5 for males and 51.1 for | females.
 These percentages by no means in dicate the relative tendency of the l To determine that, the comparison should be made 'by age periods, since the proportion married in any class is | determined largely by the proportion who have reached the marrying age Similarly, the proportion widowed de- pends largely on the proportion pas middle life. The percentage married for females is slightly higher in rura than in urban communities.
 Dwellings and Families.
 The total number of dwellings ir Connecticut is 1S1,911, and the tota number of families 246,659. there being 1856 families to each 100 dwellings The average number of persons pel dwelling is 6,1, and the average mum ] Der per family 4.5.
Norwich bulletin., 1912-11-26

From an advance bulletin upon pop ulation statistics of Connecticut is sued by the census bureau for the thirteenth deoennial census. the fol- lowing facts are shown:
 Age.
 Of the total population, 10.1 per cent. are under years of age, 17.6 per cent. from 5 to 14 years, inclusive 1S.S per cent. from 15 to 24, 31.7 per cent. from 25 to A. and 21.6 per cent. 45 years of age and over. The foreign born white population comprises con- paratively few children. only 5s per cent. of this class being under 15 years of age, while 75 per cent. are 25 years of age and over. Of the native whites of foreign or mixed percentage, 323 per cent. are 25 and over, and of the native whites of native percentage, 55. 2per cent.
 Of the urban population, 47 per cent. are under 25 years of age, 92.2 per cent. from 25 to A. and 20.7 per cent. 45 and over The corresponding per- centages for the rural are 42.2. 27.4 and 30. respectively, thus showing that the proportion under 45 is smaller in the rural population, while the propor- tion of older people is larger
 School Attendance.
 The census inquiry as to school at tendance was merely as to whether the person enumerated had attended any kind of school at any time between Sept. 1. 1909, and the date of enumera- ton, April 15, 1910.
 The total number of persons of school age-that is, from 6 to 20 years, inclusive-is 29S.454, of whom 192,497, or 64.5 per cent, attended school In addition to these 1,492 persons under and 2,966 of 21 and over attended school. For boys and for girls from $ to 20 years. inclusive, the percentage attending school was 64.5. For chill dren from 6 to IA years, inclusive. the percentage attending school was 92.S, The percentage for children of this age was the same (92.6) among native whites of native parentage and native whites of foreign or mixed parentage and it was slightly lower for foreign born whites (89.).
 There is little difference between ur- ban and rural communities as regards school attendance. although the per centage in school for children from to 14 is slightly higher in the urban and for those from 15 to 20 slightly higher in the rural.
 Illiteraey.
 The census bureau classifies as illit- crate any person 10 years of age ol over is unable to write, regardless ot ability to read.
 There are 5S.665 illiterates in the state, representing 6 per cent. of the total population 10 years of age an6 over, as compared with 5,9 per cent. 1T 1900. The percentage of illiteraey ii 15.4 among foreign born whites G.; among negroes and 0.6 among native whites.
