President Has Decided to
Have Nominations
Confirmed
SENATE TO MEET
ON MARCH 9Th
The President Will Take the
Oath of Office Privately
on March 4

Washington, Feb. 24.--Plans for Pres.
ident Wilson's Inauguration, hitherto IN
definite and confused because March 4
falls on Sunday, were much cleared up
yesterday by official announcement that
the usual special session of the Senate
will be called for March to consider
nominations. This will permit the in
auguration of the vice president in the
Senate chamber, as is the custom, with
all the attendant elaborate ceremonies.
President Wilson himself, it was also
announced will take an oath of Office
privately in the White House Sunday,
March 4. 1t was not made clear whether
he has decided to take the oath again
at the public open-air ceremonies on the
plaza at the capitol on March 5, or
whether he will make the the ceremony
the occasion for delivering his inaugural
addressa. 1t is probable, however, that he
will take another oath at that time to
make the inaugural ceremony complete
in all its usual features.
Serious consideration had been given
to an abandonment of the social Senate
session, but it was finally decided yes
terday to have it as usual,
1t was recently reported that the pres
ident was considering breaking another
precedent by not converting the Senate
for the usual post.inaugural session.
The presidents decision to have the
usual extra session, it is believed, paves
the way for the customary inaugural
ceremonies in the Senate chamber OF the
vice president, including the swearing in
OF new senators.

ARRESTED after
YEAR FOR MURDER
Of LITTLE CHILD
Parents Held BY Maiden
Police-Seven- Year Old
Girl Was Strangled

Melrose, Mass, June 1.-Joseph
Wakedn and his wife, who were ar
rested early today, charged with the
murder of their seven year old daugh-
ter Loretta a year ago today, spent
the early morning hours in the NAL
den police station, pending hearing
in the district court. Before the hear
ing the authorities declined to discuss
their reasons for causing the arrests
to be made at this time.
1t was learned, however, that when
District Attorney Nathan Tufts of
Middlesex county assumed office this
year he thought that a, renewed in
vestigation should he made in an eff
fort to clear the mystery Of the death
of the little girl, kvho was strangled,
according to the medical examiners
report, by sawdust or cereal stuffed
into her nose and mouth. Assistant
District Attorney George S. Harvey
was directed to, look into the facts,
and as a result found evidence that
he regarded as warranting the arrest
of the child's parents.
The Wakelin home is in a lonely
section of the city. On the morning of
the murder Loretta was sent home by
her school teacher to get book. She
did not return to school and later in
the day her father found her body in
the woods a mile from his house Sew
eral arrests were made but the inquest
did not develop sufficient evidence to
enable the authorities to bring anyone
to trial.

HOUSING. COMPANY
BELIEVES IN BRICK
FOR CONSTRUCTION
Permanent Building Mater
ials Are Favored In Carry
ing On It's Program

The decision of the Bridgeport
Housing Co. to use nothing but per-
manent materials in the four different
housing schemes now under way in
different parts of the city has given
rise to some comment. Since the
object of this Million Dollar Hous-
ing Co." is to provide cheap rents for
the working people of the city the
cry has been that brick is too ex-
pensive a medium for building and
that frame would have answered the
purpose just as we'll.
But persons in the counsels of the
housing company assert that the
stand taken by the concern is in re-
ality part of nation wide move in
the direction of permanent building
in centerss of population. As an in
stance they cite the story of Akron,
O., the worlds greatest rubber CEN
ter.
Last year Akron built 27OO houses.
OF these only 100 were in brick. This
year one concern alone, the Goodyear
Tire & Rubber Co. is building for its
own employees 1900 houses, practically
all brick or tile. This is not a mere
accident but is the result of earlier
experiments in housing conducted by
the Goodyear people and the results
of which have all been carefully
studied and which have led to the
complete abandonment Of wood for
outside wall construction.
The Housing Co. schemes here in
Bridgeport consist in the big colonial
apartment house on Atlantic street
near Seaside park, which will house
80 families and will be ready the first
of July, when a model apartment will
be furnished to, show the idea of the
Housing Co. The Connecticut ave-
nue. development Of $50 model homes
for. workingmen's families, the first
group of which will be ready in July
and furnished for inspection, and
two garden city developments, small
villages in themselves consisting of
brick colonial homes, one located be-
tween Fairfield and Bridgeport, with
800 homes. and the other at Eordship
park.
