KING WILL CONTINUE TO DO
 FIELD WORK
But Bridgeport Man is Dis placed As Leader of
 Wood Boom

The support Of George W. Perkins expected to be gained by the selec- ton of Colonel William c. Proctor as leader of the movement to nominate General Leonard Wood for the presi- dency on the Republican ticket. a position until now held by John T. King, Republican National Commit teeman from Connecticut.
 That political friction has existed between MT. Perkins and MT. King is well known, the latter having to some extent displaced MT. Perkins as Col Roosevelts political adviser just be- fore Col. Roosevelt's death. In fact, the organization developed by MT. King for the purpose of promoting Col. Roosevelts candidacy for the nomination for President furnished the nucleus for the present Wood or ganizadon.
 Friends of General Wood learned some time ago that 1t would be impos- sible to get the support of g. number of influential Republicans, of whom MT. Perkins was said to be one, if MT. King continued as the head of the Wood forces.
 Letters received here from persons at the conference have stated that this was accomplished in the opinion of the Wood leaders. It was explained tthat there was no desire to dIsplace or supersede MT. King, who will con- tinue as perhaps the leading political field worker in the Wood movement, which has grown, it was said, beyond the lines upon which he originally es- tablished it.

 jack.

Two discharged soldiers and a sailor who tapped Dr. Quigaie of Hartford on the head with a black jack after he had given them a ride in his automobile, were given jail sentences by Judge Reed in the Criminal Superior court this morning, The court remarked that only the fact that the accused had been in the na- tional service saved them from more severe punishment. William Wagner, a discharged soldier, was given ten months in Jail. and Hugh Duffy, of the same branch of the service, was sentenced to spend year behind the bars. They are each 24 years old. Samuel Ga1lar, 16 years old, formerly of the navy, was let off with an eight months sentence.

CITY OFFICIALS
 SCOUT IDEA OF
 TAX RATE RAISE
New Bond Issue Will Be
 Necessary to Get Money > For Schools.

The belief that the tax rate of the city will be raised to 23 mills by the request of the Board of Education for $2,30O.0oO for new schools Is not shared by city officials here who claim that this money would have to come from 8 bond issue rather than from taxes as such a course would be impossible and still be able to run the city.
 This sum was agreed upon last night by the Board of Education as being absolutely necessary to relieve the crowded conditions in the pub lie schools of this city. The money would be spent In the building of a new high school on the East side; a 24 room school on Grand street, a new school building to relieve the South End at Warren street and South avenue; a twelve room addition to Whittier school and an assembly room to LongfelIow school.
 The board last night pointed out that such a program would material lv relieve the congestion here and decided that the s2,3OO,O00 was the proper amount to ask the Board of Apportionment for.

There was nobody in sight on the street before he took his eyes from the stretch of road.

 T cannot too strongly urge you to accept the basis of settlement pro- posed by the President I have been associated with him for more than six years, and I know that every fibre of his strong nature has been devoted toward securing fair play for every body and particularly the under dog in a fight. Every blow he has had to bear, and he has had to bear many of them, has been brought about by his intense earnestness in that direc- ton. You can rely thoroughly upon every promise he makes.
 But aside from that. as a result of the stoppage of work in the mines we are facing thet most difficult indus trial situation that ever confronted the country. It threatens the very starvation of our social life. In this emergency the president has pointed a way out with honor to the govern ment and honor to yourselves If my Judgment and experience are of any value to you, let me use them in aJd Vtstng you for the welfare of your- sevles and the country as a whole to accept the way out that is proposed b, the president"

 In no uncertain terms MT Robin son replied that he could give the names as ne ReSQ hSl put 6tIbeA very forcibly that he would not give them out for publication.

SYMBOL OF FRENCH PR0WESS
Martial Bird Placed in Prominent
Position on Pont de kehl, Over
the River Rhine.

Gallo cock now adorns the Point
de Kehl on the Rhine at Strasbourg
where but only the other day sat erect
the griffin of Baden, symbolizing the
iron heel upon Alsace. The idea of
the setting up of the Gallo cock was
that of the French general, Cernesson,
the first officer in charge of the engi-
neers in a freed Strasbourg. The
scheme was put before General
Hirschauer and was Immediately
adopted. The sculptor chosen to carve
the emblematic bird was the Alsatian
Schultz. Since the peace treaty gave
France possession of the entire length
of the Rhine bridges, the Gallo cock
in bronze has been placed aloft on the
right bank of the Rhine. 1t has an
air, that bird, the air of the king OF
the barnyard Justify growing at dawn.
1t may be hailing peace, but the COCK
is naturally a martial bird and this
particular one with its eye fixed on
Germany certainly commands respect.
1t had been the intention TO use the
bronze of a kaiser statue in the cast
ing of the Pont de Kehl cock, but the
statue of William / before the palace
in Strasbourg was found to belle its
appearance and to be merely compo-
sition.

''Our doubts are traitors. making us

John looked at her in surprise.
why, that's shakespeare quota
ton you never got from me either!"
he exclaimed
Somehow that seemed to have
Knocked the wind out of his sails, for
he did not finish what he had begun.
The next day Jean left for the East
At the station John held her hand
until the time for the train to depart
arrived. He did not think it his right
TO inquire where she was going; she
had not thought it necessary to tell
him. "Goodby. little girl, and don't
forget to study the classics" he told
her. As the train shot ,out of sight
John looked after it longingly. He had
sacrificed his only chance for happi-
ness at the altar of learning, for he
had restrained himself from propos-
ing to Jean because it would have
meant the end to his plans for a uni
verSity course. What fool he had
beenI Right there he made a resolve,
and telegram that was waiting him
back at the camp decided definitely
for him. Come home, l need you,"
and it was signed Father"
For two weeks John stayed at the
bedside of his father, without any 9TH
er thought but the sick man before
him. At last the crisis was reached and
the danger passed. From then on John
devoted himself to the farm-the great
big stretch of Gods country that called
out to him for cultivation and respond
ed so nobly to his efforts. Jean was
not forgotten. 1t was for her he was
working. Some day, somehow, he
would find her again and bring her to
a home of great prosperity, he told
himself.
The Christmas holidays brought
Johns sister Flora home from college
with a guest-her teacher of English
and literature John had displayed no
interest in the expected arrival but
when Flora brought some one to him
and he looked into two big, familiar
eyes and saw a familiar smiling, blush
ing face. he was almost swept off his
feet with surprise.
Jean !" he cried in surprise.
John" she echoed his tone.
Explanations did not come until af-
ter supper when they were alone in the
library She had found John with head
in his hands.
II was a fool" he condemned him
self severely. II might have known
that your education was far superior
to mine. Why, you were university
public school teacher; l should never
have left the farm"
IF you had not you would never
have met me-
''And what good has it done me
Just made me miserable. Oh, my les
son has been a severe one; l have
learned it WELL"
''And l have learned a lesson, too
"a wonderful lesson, the most Won
derful lesson in life"
There was something in her tone
that brought his heart to quicker
beat. He looked up eagerly. what
what do you mean?" he muttered
weakly.
ooh, John, are you going to make me
say it, say what you started to say that
night on the lake-that night that
Shakespeare had to spoil it," She was
almost in his arms there was a won
derful expression on his face. He
gathered her up in one great hug.
Right there he discovered how use
less language is.
