LOCAL SCHOOL IS
 GIVEN DUE PRAISE
Hartford hal Says PTtVoeationaf Institution Here Is q Good One.

That New ,Britain's educational sys- tenn Is one that could well be followed by other cities about the state Is evl- denced in 8 letter received by Presi-. dent Frank H. Johnston, of the Con- necticut Chamber of Commerce, from Charles B. Cook, vice president of the Royal Typewriter company of Hart ford, and endorsed by the Hartford Business Mems association, the Hart ford Broad of Trade and the Hart ford Manufacturers association.
 In this letter MT. Cook calls atten- tion to the bill introduced Into the legislature by the state board of edu- cation which provides for an appro- priation to provide a vocational train ing school for all cities in the state of over 25, ,000 inhabitants, and in smaller places under certain conditions The support of the Connecticut Chamber of Commerce is solicited for this measure and in remarking upon 1t the Hartford manufacturer says: ''New- Britain Is showing us the way to do this work. Her pre-vocationsl school which I have visited is. in my opin- ion, solving the problem of changes necessary in our academic and classic education"
 Tomorrow noon the directors of the Connecticut Chamber of Com merce will meet at Hartford and this bill is one of the matters that will be discussed.
 At @ recent meeting of the Mer- cantile department of the New Brit ain Chamber of Commerce the mem bers went on record as being in favor of the bill which will permit mer chants attaching debtors pay if they earn SIS per week or more. At pres ent a debtor must earn at least S25 a week before a merchant can attach. for a bill

 Shortly after 10 o'clock President Wilson left the White House and went to his room on the senate side of the capitol to sign bills and meet con- gressmen in the closing hours.
 When the Indian and post office resolutions were brought into the sem ate, supporters of the regular bills made a last appeal in their behalf, but the opposition stood firm and the sen ate then passed the house resolution extending the current Indian appro- priation over the next year. That laid the Indian bill in it's grave and the senate proceeded to consider the post office resolution.

FATHER BELIEVES HIS
 DAUGHTER IS ALIVE
Mystery of Missing New Haven
 Cir Heightened.

New York, Mar. 4.-The mystery surrounding the disappearance week ago of Lillian May Cook, of Brooklyn, from the place of her employment as a stenographer in New Haven, Conn, was heightened today by the an- Eouncem ent that there had been an ex- change of telegraphic communications between the Brooklyn and New Haven police. These messages, it was said had to do with the identity of James Dudley, of Brooklyn, in whose homo she was employed as a nurse maid be- fore she went to New Haven to be- come stenographer for .Virginius Mayo, head of the Mayo Radiator company of that city.
 Father Visits New Haven.
 The sequel of these messages was a visit to New Haven yesterday by Frank Cook father of the missing girl accompanied by his daughter Laura, and a statement by the latter, accord ing to tho police. on her return here today, that Dudley and Mayo resemble each other. Mayo has offered re- ward of $500 for information leading to the discovery of Miss Cooks where abouts, dead or alive.
 At Dudley's home in Brooklyn to- day inquiries as to his whereabouts were referred by a woman, who said she was Mrs. Dudley, to the New Hav- en police.
 Girl Still Alive.
 The missing girls father said to- day his fear that his daughter had committed suicide had been modified bv what he was told by detectives in New Haven.
 ''The detectives i'll New Haven say she is still alive" said MT. Cook, "and Vm inclined to agree with them"

COURT UNAFFECTED
 BY PLEA FOR WIFE
Steve Yagfeh Must Serve Two
 Months iO Jail for Assault

In the superior court today Judge Morris D. Sake, representing Steve Yaglich of this city, that his client be released from serving a jail sen- tence of two months. About a week ago Yaglish was arrested for com mitting an improper assault upon a Hartford avenue woman and was sen fenced to four months in jail by Judge James T. Meskill when the case came up in the local court. He appealed and yesterday afternoon Judge Gager imposed a sentence of two m months in jail for the offense.
 Wife Makes No Difference.
 In the meantime word had been received by Yagiich that his wife, who has been living in Russia, was on her way to rejoin him here and this fact was brought to the courts attention with the hopes that the jail sentence would be suspended in view of the fact that the accused would have a wife to look after him. Judge Gager was inclined to think that two months vacation on Seyms street would be beneficial to Yaglich and that when he came out he would be better able to appreciate his own wife and respect others.
 Chicken Thief Fined.
 Another New Britain case that was settled in the higher court was that against Raffaele Nicosia, who was ar rested for stealing chickens on East street. He pleaded guilty and a fine of $50 and costs was imposed.
 Cases Are Nollcd.
 After serving several months in jail awaiting trial for attempting to break into gas meters the cases against Joseph Burke and Harry Smith, both of this city, were nolled by the states attorney who thought that the boys had been punished enough. They were arrested by De- tective Sergeant Bamforth in the cellar of Hatch's block while they were supposedly trying to get into a gas meter. They were bound over to the March terms of the court and had to stay in Jail In lieu of securing Q bondsman.
 Plainville was also represented when Felix Pullano. who pleaded guilty to an indecent assault in that town. was sentenced to jail for two months.
