SIDEWALK SKETCHES
BY Il. . RANN.l

Popularity Is something that never
deserts a man until he becomes can.
didate for office, Nothing else on
land Sor sea. will cause 1t to lose It's
hold except blocking the wheels OF
progress With a paying, petition. One
OF the worst handicaps to popularity
Is TO take out few political or re-.
ltgtous convictions and shake them in
the face Of people who haven't any.
This is a, very dangerous custom, and
has resulted in causing great many
crusaders TO go onto the siding with
subdued look. It Is d narrowing
thing TO be unpopular, but is worse
TO berso mentally crooked that nobody
eau tell whether you are for or
against. There isga;i great deal Of
popularity in.circulation which man.
ages to be out ortown when the time
comes toSstand upl and be counted.
This kind always hooks in on the
winning side and demands the lions
share Of the perqulsites and other del+
iicatessen. Some people ase so anx-
iious 10 be popular that they agree
with anybody who expresses a blood
red opinion on anything from Wag.
,ner's orcbestratioa. TO the birthplace OF
Gains wife. Others do mot care&for
popularity and drive away trade by
stepping on their customers pet
theories with a set OF debating tools.
The best proof Of popularlty,is 10 go
up against the Australian ballot and
come out without having TO walt for.

 CARS WANTED
 FOR VETERANS
Bridgeport Auto Owners Should Wake up to Importance
 of Occasion

Only about One-half of the automo- piles required for the G. A. R. ride Friday afternoon have been secured as yet by the committee. Although over $50 automobile owners were sent special invitations to participate in this affair not over one quarter have taken the trouble to mail the return postal card and let the committee know whether they will or will not loan their cars for the purpose of giv- ing the veterans an hours ride.
 There are only a couple of days left and the committee urges that ev- cry motorist who received an invita- tlOn card and has not attended to the matter, mail the return postal at once so that the committee may know ex- actly how many cars will be avail able. It is expected that 400 veterans and their wives will be here at the state encampment and at least 100 cars will be necessary if Bridgeport is to extend it's hospitality in this way to the whole party.
 It is not necessary, that they will be all touring cars, but roadsters and runabouts will be welcome and can be used to advantage. It is hoped during the next day or two the re- sponse will be pronounced.
 Probate Judge Edward F. Hallen has been the first non-automobile rwner to come to the committees g rescue and has engaged the fine sev- en passenger Packard car of Frank Webber, which he has turned over to the committee. If there are any per. sons who wish to aid in giving the veterans this little outing by hiring cars and contributing them the conn mittee will appreciate their action and so will the general G. A. R. commit tee. Judge A. B. Beers has also do- mated a car in this manner.

RELATIVES OF TITANIC'S DEAD CR|TIC|SE BECAUSE MANAGING
 DIRECTOR ISMAY IS SAVED

New York, April 1.-The peculiar secretive tactics adopted by the White Star line since the accident to the Titanic continued, today, when, after giving out a supplementary list of the rescued with the announcement that it had been received by wireless, the company denied that 1t had so been received. The general passenger agent said it was compiled by check ing up the data that was received, land by the Olympic. This followed public regarding the condition of the survivors on the Carpathia, all of whom are known to have suffered greatly from exposure before being rescued.
 we are not in communication with the Carpathia and have not been since yesterday" said the line officials. The result has been bitter criticism, especially in view of the knowledge that among the men saved is J. Bruce Ismay, managing director of the line His presence on the Carpa- thia was believed by many to be re- sponsible for the failure of the Car pathia to send the details of the wreck There was also much criticism among relatives who had lost loved ones because Ismay had not remained with the ship but the officers of the line claimed that he had gone with the boats because it was deemed nec- essary to have someone in authority in charge.
 There were not as many inquiries

THE PARK

Jos. M Gaites has chosen cast of excetional merit to surround beau tiful Kitty Gordon, the famous Eng fish prima donna, in "The Enchan- tress" Victor Herbert's latest and probably most successful operetta which comes to the Park theatre. Monday evening, April 2znd all next week and for which seats go on sale tomorrow. Among those in the cast is Arthur Forrest, the brilliant TO- mantle actor who won so much dis tinctiOn as leading man with Rich ard Mansfield, and who makes his first appearance in a musical produc- tion by playing the role of the schem- ing minister of War, Ozir, who seeks to dethrone the Grown Prince through the wiles of the opera singer, Vivien. Nellie Mccoy, she of the breezy steps and twinkling toes, returns to the stage in the piece after an absence of two years. She plays the role of the Chicago heiress shopping for titles and puts into the role all of the rol- licking fun for which both she and her sister Bessie are noted.
 For the role of the Crown Prince. MT. Gaites has secured Harold Forde. one of the best known English tenors- who though not yet thirty, has creat- ed a number of leading roles in Lon- don With him is also Harrison Brockbank, prominent English bar- itone and character actor, who takes the part of the flirting regent.
 The Australian dancers, Ralph Riggs and Katherine Witchie, sprane into sudden fame at the opening of the piece in New York by their specta- cular eccentric dancing. And one of the funniest moments in the entire piece is the. famous Spanish dance be- tween MT. Riggs and jolly Hattie Arm old. Miss Arnold. It will be remem- bered by older theatregoers. created many of the prirna donna roles in the Gilbert & Sullivan operas when hrst produced in America thirty odd years ago. For other leading roles Mr. Gaites has been fortunate in securing Venita Fitzhugh, the pretty coloratura soprano and Louise Bliss, whose Want to be a Prima Donna song is now being whistled from coast 10 coast.

at the offices of the line today, SC far as the first and second cabin pas. sengers were concerned but many thronged the third class offices. There were young couples who were expect ing aged parents for whose passage money they had toiled long and 1a- boriously. Then there were stalwart workers who were expecting the sweethearts who were to make homes for them in the Promised Land There was little information for any of them because the officials had not yet completed the comparisons of the list of the saved with the steerage lists just received.
 Some of the inQuirers could not make themselves understood by the clerks and their grief was great At times men or women would break from the line almost fainting and with tears running down their cheeks. Many sustained themselves with hope because the entire list of the survi. vors was not yet available and fore ed themselves to believe that eventu- ally their loved ones would be saved.
 Friends of Isidor Straus and his wife announced, today, they had abandoned hope that either had been saved. They said they did not believe that Mrs. Straus would .have left her husband to whom she was devoted unless he could accompany her into the boat. Numerous wild rumors that some passengers had been picked up by liners and were being carried to Europe were circulated but in every case they failed of confirmation.

SECOND DISTRICT
 DEMOCRATS FAVOR
 DIRECT PRIMARIES
Pledge Delegate Candidates to Resolution to be Introduced In City Convention

Some fifty Democrats assembled al 551 Lafayette street, last night, foI the purpose of 1nstructing five can- didates for delegate to the town and city convention to support resolu- ton for direct primaries. which was almost unanimously adopted as fol- lows: Resolved, That hereafter candidates of the. Democratic Party for Town and City offices, including Mayor, City Clerk, Tax Collector, Town Clerk, Judge of Probate, Mem bers of Board of Education and City vote of the people in said Democratic party.'
 John Ford was chairman of the meeting and William Carter, secrek tary. It was explained that in order to be operative in time for the next nominations for local offices the change in party rules would have to be made during the present year.
 Peter J. Boyle, William F. Corr, William Carter, Thomas P. Quinn and William Larkin, the candidates. pledged themselves to offer and SUD- port the direct primaries resolution in the convention, if they shall be elect ed.
 Others who spoke were, James Kelly Danniel F1aherty, J. H. McMurray. Frank O'Brien, J. Mccormick, W. Bowden and M. Carroll.
 The views expressed were generally to the effect that the Second District is always Democratic, but that under the delegate system of making nomi- nations the views of the voters of the party do not find expression, and that delegates frequently do things to which the party voters are opposed.
 Other voters held a meeting in Kiernan's lunch room, and made prep arations to get out the vote for the ''organiza tion'' ticket, as it was described.

be followed throughout the year.
 The revision of the board of trade regulations as to lifesaving facilities was also demanded. The White Star Line officials admitted that the Ti- tanic carried but 20 life boats in her davits. These boats had a capacity of 970 passengers and from the list of survivors it was apparent that one or more of the boats was disa bled in the collision or they were not filled to capacity in the scramble to leave the sinking ship. Besides the life boats the Titanic carried number of collapsible rafts none of which were launched according to the num- Der rescued. The lord mayor, today, opened a subscription list for the re- lief of the widows and orphans of the crew of the Titanic.
