PARALYZED LAD IS MADE HAPPIER BY
  CHAT WITH WILSON

Washington, March 23-A pale, smiling lad of 12 years lay on a stretcher in the Blue room of the White House early today, while beside him sat the President Of the United States. The scene was the cu1mina- ton of weeks of yearning and the kind response of President Wilson to the little boys plea
 Harry winthrop Davis, of SewickIey, Pa, paraIyzed in limb and with his life slowly ebbing away, was the Presi-. dents caller. He came in a motor ann .bulance and three hospital attendants bore him into the White House Blue room. The President came and chat ted for several minutes with the little fellow, who was at first too happy to speak. Finally he asked about Mrs. WilsohI and left some flowers for her.
 The Presidents eyes were dimned as he turned away to his day of work and the little boy was carried out to the ambulance and away to the rail- road station
 The visit of the President was ar ranged after Mrs. A. l.. Davis, the boys mother, had written Mrs. Will son, telling that her little boy had been praying to see the President and how she earnestly hoped it might be arranged. She suggested that the lit- tie fellow could be brought to the White House and the President promptly gave his consent

FIRISH SITUATION CAUSES ATTACK ON
 ENGLAND's POLICY
Bonar Law Declares Moving of Troops to Ulster Was
 Foolish.


 London, March 23-The interest in the disanection in the army arising out of the newest phase of the home rule situation was displayed in the House Of Commons this afternoon when the House was crowded to listen to statement from Col. Seely, secre- tary of State for War
 The communication- was very brief and utterly vague. The gist of it was that some officers had informed Gen. Sir Arthur Pagets commander in chief in Ireland, that they could not serve in certain eventualitfes. There was, he said. 9 nisunderstanding and these officers had been ordered to re5oin their regiments The movement of troops, he concluded, was solely in or der to protect the stores of Govern ment arms and ammunition
 Both Premier Asquith and Andrew Bonar Law, leader of the opposition, recognized the widespread anxiety for an exhaustive debate by agreeing to a, motion for the adjournment Of the House Immediately after the Secre- tary for War had spoken, in order to discuss the. Irish situation.
 tPAIHERTNGs WITH PARLIAMENT
 Mir Law declared that the Govern 1nent's procedure was a most amazing instance of paltering with the House of Commons. The danger of the Brit ish Army being destroyed before the country's eyes, had, he said, come to the Government like a bolt from the blue. He had. he declared, received

MANIAC WITH KNIFE ATTACKS
 HER EMPL0 OYER

A raving maniac in the home Of James M. Wilson, superintendent of the Crane Valve, Annie Maravsick,- a cook, who has been in the employ e the family for over year all but committed murder she attacked Mrs. Wilson today. The insane worn- an was placed under restraint by Alex Morrissey. investigator of the depart ment of charities and is now in padded cell at LAkevfew Home.
 Little information could today be se- cured from the Charity Board, and Morrissey refused to make known the conditions which caused the hurried trip to the home at 516 Laurel avenue. Tn the neighborhood it was learned that the Maravsick woman was a re- ligious fanatic and it is believed thai zeal for her religion caused her brain to become unbalanced.
 This morning while working in the kitchen she suddenly became violent and Mrs. Wilson is said to have had a narrow escape as the woman ap- preached her with a knife She par tiaIly wrecked the kitchen in her fury.
 The authorities at Laveview home are searching for a sister believed 10 be in this city. The insane woman came to this country three years ago.

SCHOOL BOARD WOULD BE SELF PERPETUA Mayors Plan For Single Head For Department Arouses
 Members. HE BELIEVES THE
 BOARD IS TOO BIG For Commission Form of Government Halts Contemplated
 Changes.

Republicans of prominence are said to favor an amendment to the city charter to make the board of educa- ton self perpetuattng as are the If- brary and the park boards. The plan is said to meet with the favor of some of the Repu b1ican members of the school board It cannot be learned that any Democratic member of the board has been consulted about the matter. The -tern of William Lieberum, the president of the board expires in November. Republicans have been told that President Liebe- rum intends to retire when his term expires, although Mir. Lieberum him. self is non-conmittal.
 Tn the event of MT. Lieberum's Ye- tirement from the board the ReEub- 1icans hope to elect a Republican, president and the choice would be either Commissioner Elmer H. Ravens or Commissioner Howard s. Cha1len- ger. Neither commissioner stands very we'll with the powers that are now supposed to control Republican politics in Bridgeport.
 The administration of Mayor Will son, past and present, has been very much out of harmony with the pres- ent board of education. The mayor believes the board too unwieIdy and that business connected with the pub lie education would be greatly ex- pedited if the board was smaller in number or if the matter of education was placed under single headed commission. For some time, Mayor Wilson has been quietly Investigating the methods of educational boards and bureaus in other cities with 9 view to proposing an amendment tb 4he city charter at ene next session of the General Assembly.
 Thus far it is said that the mayor favors abolishing the board of educa- ton and placing the affairs of the public schools in the hands of a sin gle head commissioner who shall hold office during good conduct.
 Because of the recent agitation for scomnlission form eff government, Mayor Wilson has delayed further ac- ton or investigation in the matter but those who claim to be in a position to know say that he will surely make some attempt to have a change in the city charter made and the board made smaller.
 Members of the board of educa- ton know this and the attempt to create a self perpetuating body is thought to be a. plan to prevent the mayor carrying out his intention.
