EXAMINE VILLAINS KNIVES,
Prosecutor Hints That They Were Stained Si!encine Doctors Dogs,

MineoIa. l.. l.. April 2.--District Attorney Weeks announced last nigbt that he had obtained three knives in the town house of -Dr. Walter K. Will kins. 164 West Sixty-fifth street New York, and would today nave them ex- amined to determine the origin of stains on the blades. Two of them are pocket knives. but the third is 8 keen- edged dagger blade, with horn handle
 MT. Weeks recalled that two of the doctors dogs were found injured shortly after the discovery of the murder of the physfcian's wife and intlmated that detectives were trying TO connect the stained knives with the sllencing of the animals. Another point in the doctors story was at lacked today by the district attorney. He said that if it was true that bur glars were in the Wilkins home at Long Beach just before they attacked the doctor and his wife. and had drunk wine from glasses on the side board, as related by Dr. Wilkins, he failed to understand why they had overlooked a substantial purse which had been lying in one of the glasses,

1o.oOO BEIGIANS RFTTRN.
More Are Going, But at Least 100000
 Will Stay in England

London, April 2.-More than 79.- 900 Belgian men. women. and ch;i- dren have been repatriated. and it is expected that this number will have increased to 100000 by the end of April. Two large ships leave London every week crowded with returning refugees.
 It is estimated that at least 100000 BelgianS at present in the British Isles have expressed an intention not to go back to Belgium, and they will probably remain at work here.
 The chief difficulty in repatriating the Belgians lies in assem- bling them in sufficiently large numbers to fill the steamers by a given day. These refugees are scattered all over the country, and special railway arrange ments have to be made to convey them with their innumerable articles of baggage to the docks before the hour of sailing.

HOLMES CHAMPIONS
 EDUCATIONAL BILL
Local School Superintendent speaks Before Legislative Hearing at
 Capitol Yesterday.

Senator E. W. Hagen, chairman of the educational committee. at yester- days meeting of the legislature pre- sented for consideration three educa- tional bills. The first bill offered for considerat ton provides for an increase in the membership of the state board of education, requiring that at least one member be appointed from each county. Much time was consumed in the discussion of this bill.
 The second bill concerns the appro- priation and apportionment of state aid to schools. This bill as it stands provides for increased state aid for country towns.
 The Association of School Superin- tendents of Connecticut has been se- rious1y studying the proposed bills; if has held several meetings to con- sider them. Its conclusions and rec concentrations were presented by the chairman of it's legislative committee, s. H. Holmes, of this city. MT. Holmes pointed out that the need of increased funds was as serious in the larger places as in the country towns. Salaries of teachers must be substan- tially increased at once, he said, not only to keep the schools running and to prevent overcrowding and conse- Quent poor teaching. but likewise in order to so recruit the teaching force as to provide an adequate supply Of teachers for schools. The present lack of teachers to fill existing va cancies constitutes a, most serious menace to the educational future or this and many other states, he as serted.
 A proposal was made to amend thls bill so as to provide for an approp7la- tion from town and city funds, by raising the state education grant from the present rate of $225 per child, according to the school census to S5 per child for 1919-20 and to $7.o0 per child for 1920-21.
 This provision would call for g. state appropriation of approXlmately $500, 900 for 1919-1920 and $1, ,S00,- 900 for 1920-21, and would provide approximately a Is per cent increase of teachers salaries throughout the state.
 Locally this measure would mean that New Britain would receive an ad- djtional grant from the state of ap- 1 proximately $41,000 for 1919-20 and 1 SSO. 900 for 1920-21.
 The third bill. concerning the es- matter which has special bearing l upon the rural districts and of no l vital interest to New Britain.

BAKER ADMITS SCHEME.
Officers Did Have Plan to

 Mir Baker and officers at the war department displayed amusement in discussing tn bold scheme. but there was little disposition to look upon it seriously.
