A STEERING COMMITTEE
 OF PROGRESSIVE STRIPE
Membership Announced at Caucus of
 Democratic Senators.

Washington, March 6.-Progressive democratic control of the senate was advanced another important stage in
 the second days session of the caucus of democratic senators. The choice yesterday of Senator Kern Of Indiana as senate leader was followed today by the selection of 8 democratic organ ization committee on which the leaders of the so-called progressive forces were in complete control.
 The steering committee" which Is to
 map out a programme Of reorganfza-
 ton to determine the question of con- as follows;
 Senator Kern, chairman: Senators Martin. Clarke (Arkansas), Chamber 1ain,; Owen, O'Gorman, Smith (Geor-
 gia), Lea and Thomas.
 For several hours they argued be- hind closed doors over the minor prob 1erns connected with their control Of the smaller branch of congress. The routing the republicans from their coynmodious committee rooms, the change of employees connected with the senate and selection of new senate officers had a more important part in the days discussion than the broader questions of committee assignments and legislative policies.
 All questions of senate patronage were referred to special committee consisting of Senators Overman, ,Shive- ". Johnson, Hitchcock and Williams The SIOfSS oA SSAdNO oAAACOAS "oo PNA1 over until tomorrow, when the caucus is to be resumed. It is expected that Senator Bacon will be elected presi- dent pro te1n. While the democrats were in session, the republican steering committee, consisting of Senators Lodge, Warren, Nelson, Penrose, Shoot, LaFollette,
 Brandegee. Crawford. Jones and Fall. met in Senator Lodges offices and canvassed he committee lists to de- terrnine what positions they would ask for 4 delegation consisting of Sem ators Nelson and Smoot was sent over to the democratic caucus to learn what ara ngements the democrats intend to make about giving minority appoint ments to the republicans, but no plan had been agreed upon by the demo crats.
 IT is anticipated that the democratic
 plans for naming committees will not be completed for some time.

Telephone Wire in State of Connectl-
 eut-254, ,37e Miles of t.

To the average telephone user a telephone system consists, so far as he is interested, of the telephone in he residence or office of the person at AS a. matter of fact, these three parts form but a small portion of the whole that goes to make up general, con- prehensfve system such as Is required to furnish service to over 103, 900 tele- phones in the state of Connecticut.
 One of the great items in this sys- sem, the medium over which the ser vice is given, is the outside plant, the wires over which the calls are passed. In this state this equipment is of three kinds, wire in cables in underground conduit, wire in cables run on pole lines, and open wire on pole lines. This wire is divided into two main classes, that over which local service is given over which toll line and long distance messages are passd-calls to other ex- changes in this and other states.
 The wire In the state of Connecticut, that is the system owned and operated by the Southern New England Tele- phone company, totals up to 254,37S miles. Of this, 233, ,7o8 miles are devot- ed to local and 2o,670 to toll purposes. The number of miles of pole line car Tytng the exchange wire Is 4,382, and the number of miles carrying toll wire I.2oe. There are 145 miles of under ground.
 Considering the fact that Connecti- cut is only 1o4 by 54 miles, it will be wires links the entire state into one community, so far as spoken commu nication is concerned. If one were to stretch the wire in a single strand and build the pole lines in one line, it would gfrdle the earth nearly eleven times, or, expressed in another way, woud extend from the earth to the moon and back again.
