WILSON POLICY
 AS TO FEDERAL PATRONAGE WISE
Congressman Reilly Says It PIeaSeS
 Legislators
Ex-MemberS of House fO DIs- tribute Many PiumS for
 the President

Tt is my firm belief. as well az the belief of every Democrat fn Wssbins- ton, that President Woodrow WIlson is going to make good with a venEe- ance as chief executive of the nation That is the comment made today by Congressman Thomas L. Reilly. who addressed the Emrnct Club last night. before leaving for his home in Merf- den.
 President Wilson has made a fine impression in official Washington in the few days of. his fncuHn bSncy of the presidential office, ecn4tnued. ETr. Reilly, land everywhere is heard praise of his announced policies in several matters. Of especial interest to members of Congress is the Presl- dents announcement that federal patronage, in a great masure, will be- distributed by the heads of the various departments.
 Members of Congress are piessed with this announcement, as it affords them better opportunity to present tho claims of their constituency. In Pres ident Wilson's cabinet are three men who were in the last Congress-Bur leson, Redfield and Wuson-and naturally they will be more accesslbls to their late associates than the Presf- dent would be. The President, as he said, would have no time to listen to all office seekers and his move to dis tribute patronage through the depart mental heads is considered a wise one"
 Congress will convene April 1 fu extraordfns ry session and present fu- dications are that the session will elc- tend well into the summer AEr. Reilly said.

EDUCATIONIS
 CHEAP HERE,
 SAYSEXPERT

Pupils in the public schools of Bridgeport receive cheaper and less education than pupils in 100 cities of similar size, according to the report of pr. James H. Van Sickle, school investigator, who will submit his fnd- fngs to the Board of Education to- night. Dr. Van Sickle takes several Wallops at the cheapness with which education is meted out in this city and makes several important recom- mendatfons seeking to remedy these conditions
 Bridgeport, he finds, expense $26.S1 a year to educate a pupils, while the average expenditures in 100 other cit les Of Bridgeport's size is $41.13. To put Bridgeport on a par with other cities would require an expenditure of SPOOL 900 additional yearly he says. The city stands 153rd on 168 towns of the state in money spent for educa- ton.
 Dr. Van Sickle recommends that the superintendent have the sole power of making teaching appointments and that the Board of Education not in- terfere with his selections
 He says the schools are overcrowd- ed and the teaching equipment is in- adequate. Thfrty-two additional rooms are needed at once, he declares, to give adequate facilities here.
 The school are proficient in drill processes, put the reasoning methods in the curriculum are not strong, he says. The general discipline is super for and the spirit of the teaching corps is good, the investigator finds.
 The Normal school, he says, is serl- ously handicapped by lack of facilities of every kind. The entrance require ments are too easy, and the local schools should not furnish more than two-thirds of the teaching staff of the public schools, is his recommends tion.
 The many weaknesses found in the High school are due, Dr. Van Sickle says, to physical conditions obtaining. The discipline at the school is good. He Arges that the study of Greek be abolished and that a two-year Latin course be open to pupils not prepar- ing for college.
 The trade school here, he finds, is not adequate to the needs of the city, and he urges an industrial course for the new high school.
 The report, which covers 128 pages, will. be presented to the Board of tonight.

WOMEN JEERED
 CALLED HENS Policemen Seemed In Sympathy With The
 Mob Spirit
So TeStifieS Mrs. Richards in Senate Probe of SutfTagistS
 Parade at Capitol

Washington, March 10-With a long list of witnesses still to be called, the Senate subcommittee, today, resumed its investigation of the disorder that attended the parade of women suffra- gists here, last Monday. The large committee room was again crowded to the doors with spectators, principally women, and before the hearing was begun officers were forced to refuse further admission. The late corners lined up in the corridor.
 District Commissioner Johnson was called as the principal witness, today. Commissioner Johnson was in active charge Of the police on Pennsylvania avenue during the suffrage parade and endeavored to keep clear path ahead of the marchers by charging with po- lice automobiles the disorderly crowd that filled the street.
 Following the testimony of Police Chief Sylvester that the fault for the disorder lay with the men and officers on duty on Monday, the committee expects to call the police captains who had charge of the lines of march and endeavor to discover just how the crowd got beyond their control
 Mrs. Janet E. Richards, who march ed in the first section of the parade, declared Most of the policemen were standing idly around in the crowd and seemed in sympathy with the mob spirit
 How was this mob spirit evil denced ?'' asked Senator Chamberlain. By the hooting and jeering and yell ing of the crowd replied Miss Richards. "Au along the line men in the crowd shouted These are noth ing but hens; we came out to see chiclkens,'''
 Miss Richards gave the numbers Of two of a group of four policemen who she said were doing nothing to con- trol the crowd and whom she urged to help open up the line.
 Police Chief Sylvester furnished g statement to show he had 575 officers on duty for the suffrage parade and 367 for the inaugural parade the day following. There were no disorders on March 4.

THE DAILY ROUTINE

After four days when his confer ences with Democratic leaders fre- quentIy were interrupted by hand shaking, President Wilson, today, de- cided that hereafter he will make ap- pointments only after Il o'clock in the morning. OF for the east room in the afternoon. He plans to come to the executive office at m., ana first devote two full, uninterrupted hours to correspondence and other inn portant business each day. Members of his cabinet and persons for whom he sends will not be subject to the new rule but all others will.
 On cabinet days he will see his visi- tors before Ii o'clock. the hour of meeting. The Presidents list, today, was long enough to keep him busy.
 Postmaster General Burleson reach ed the executive offices, today, just a few minutes ahead of the President, who walked over from the White Committeeman from the West had enga gements.
 Late today, in the east room, the members of the diplomatic corps were to be presented formally to the Pres ident and on Wednesday the diplo- Wilson.
 Tonight, at o'clock, the President will press a button in the White House which will open a stock breed
 
 President Wilson's rule about dis cuesing patronage with his visitors does not apply to members of Con- gress. It was pointed out at the White House, today, that the Presl- dent intended his announcement that office seekers should address them selves to heads of departments should not be interpreted as including Sena- tors and Representatives, to whom the President hopes to be accessible at all times and on all subjects. MT. Wilson intends to consult with cab inet members about the recommenda- tion of members of Congress and vice versa. The whole purpose is to di- vert the stream of applicants and their friends from the White House to the government departments so that the field of choice may be gradually re- duced before he takes up the question of appointments.
 when the President was governor of New Jersey he always gave precedence to members of the legislature and when that body was in session he would always keep his door open to the legislators to come and go unan- uounced MT. Wilson hoped in that way to encourage frequent consu1ta- lions about legislative matters. It fs quite probable that when Congress fs in session he will pursue the same course and it has even been suggested that when critical moments arrive in dealing with legislation, MT. Wilson can 20 to the Presidents room n the capitoI to be in close touch with Inem- bers of both houses.

WHITE HOUSE WILL BE DRY UNDER WILSON President Sends His Nominations to
 Senate
Plans to Be in Close Touch With COngTeSS--G Down
 to Routine

Washington. March 1O-The Wilson dry This expression is used en- tirely in a sense that appeals to the inner man of the nation and not ne- ressarily to those who look for stereo- typed methods of government It be- came known that President Wilson and his cabinet are averse to the use of liquor or wine in any form. In toxicating liquors will have no place in the White House during the next four years unless the Presidents VOWS undergo sharp change.
 The preacher in the Presidents s ca binet, Secretary of State Bryan as is well known, has been a prohibition advocate for many years. On one oc- casion.. MT. Bryan would have made it a national issue and it was due to his efforts that the prohibition legis- lation in Nebraska was put into eff feet
 It is well known also that Speaker Clark is teetota1er and has been for many years The fact that a large portion of the Democratic majority in the Senate and House is from the south, where prohibition is general. makes certain the fact that there will be little wine and less wassail than has been known in Washington for many years.
 There never has been so dry a prospect in the White House since the days of President Hayes, when Mrs Hayes excluded wines and N- mediately on becoming it's mistress. The sideboard, on which the wine glasses and decanters stood, was dis placed.

RELATIVE A CANDIDATE

The President had before him, today. the question of whether he should consent to the appointment of rela- tive to public office. On Saturday, when Capt Alfred Wilson of Portland, Ore, a second cousin of the President was suggested to the secretary of war for member of the Philippine com mission, MT. Garrison consulted the President and found him disinclined to appoint any relative to office. A delegation of westerners, however, talked again, today, to Secretary Gar rison, in the interest of Captain VII son. Later the delegation called on the President on behalf of Captain Wilson. It consisted of National Committeeman John Patterson, of Washington, John H. Wilson, of Hawaii, and H. R. Cheney, of Alaska; H. c. Todd, chairman of the Demo cratic State Committee of Washing ton; Judge James Ross, of the Philip pines. The President promised to consider their recommendations

 It was expected that the nomination of State Senator F. D. Roosevelt, of New York, to be assistant secretary Of the navy to succeed Beekman Win throp, would be sent to the Senate, today or tomorrow.
 Secretary Of War Garrison, after a talk early with the President, declared President Wilson agreed with him that the personnel of the war depart nent ought not to be disturbed for several weeks at least.

New Haven, March 10-Every Con gressional district in the state except the Fourth has one or more candidates for the United States judgeship made vacant by the death of James P. Platt of Meriden. There are eight known avowed candidates for the place and there are likely to De as many more before an appointment is made.
 The Democratic congressional dele gation from this state is to thresh the situation out at an adjourned caucus to be held at the Hotel Taft, New Haven, March 21. The matter was taken up formally in Washington last week, but nothing definite was done
 Congressman Thomas L. Reilly, who was in this city this morning, waa asked today about the story, printed recently in a Hartford paper that he had given his word to the late Judge PIatt that he would support Platt's for the place Congressman Reilly said that the first fnkling he had of the matter was when it appeared in print. He declared that the proposi- ton had not been preached to him by Judge Platt, or even hinted at by any of his friends. He said the story was a political yarn made out of whole cloth.
 Another matter that probably will be considered at the coming Connecticut caucus is the method of appointing a collector of customs for Bridgeport. Congressman Donovan believes he is entitled to name the appointee, be- cause Bridgeport is in his district. The other congressman say that the position is one that should be filled from the state and by a caucus of the state representatives in Congress.

Almost simultaneous ly, MT. and Mrs Wilfred Wilson and their little daughter will go to New York and after visit there will pro- ceed to their home in Portland, Ore.
 The White House, since the morning of March f. has been well filled with Wilson's. The only children that now remain are the two grandnieces of the President, whose parents reside here and who will be in evidence to give the juvenile touch to the executive mansion.
