 IS THE NEED
 OF DEMOCRATS

Among Democratic workers there is a strong feeling, based on the re- turns of the last election, that the party will be stronger if before another election comes around more cooperation can be had between the several elemen

 Democracy is composed of varying minds with varying ideas. but the house of Democracy is big enough to hold them all
 "One great fault in our party is the constant attempt of individuals who have obtained a little autno ority to kill off leadership.
 .'Men who might help are discour- aged because some chap in a ward or in a city, or in a state, feels that particular fellows prominence might lessen his own.
 "A party is just like an army, the stronger the shock troops are the more apt they are to win victory
 The question came up over the em- pIoyInent of workers among the Hun garian voters. It was said that one Joseph Rieger opened Democratic he2d 2dquartsFS for the hungarian peo- pie and that he had a sum of money with which to do it.
 His work was independent and may have been conducted by money rur- nished from national headquarters from state headquarters or from the headquarters of FitzGerald. or Sper- lacy No one seems to know just where the money came from.
 The local Democratic authority does know that it did not handle the m oney.

 New Haven School Filled.
 The minutes of the State Board of Education with reference to this mat ter read as follows that the present Bridgeport juniors who satis- factorily complete their junior work Normal School as seniors at the be- ginning of the school year 1923-24 up to the capacity of the Danbury School to accommodate them, and voted that precautionary arrangements be made at New Haven to care for a small surplus who may not be accommo- dated at Danbury, and that the selec- tion of such students may need to be transferred to New Haven be made by the Superintendent of Schools of the City of Bridgeport, subject to the approval of the Commissioner of Education.''s
 The reason for the selection of Dan bury by the State Board lies in the fact that the New Haven school which was constructed for 260 has an en- ro1lment of over 400, while the Dan bury school has never been filled.
 At the same meeting of the State Board of Education it voted to ap- prove the Bridgeport City Normal School course of study as provided for in section of chapter 226 of the Pub lie Acts of 1921, which approval per mits the local Board of Examiners to accept the diploma of the Bridgeport City Normal School as evidence of meeting State requirements for elementary schools without examina- tions. but only in the City of Bridge port.

"Wets" Make Big Gains in Congress Modification of Vol stead Act Seems I'm probable by the New Body.

Washington, Nov. 1O.-U. N.
 S.)-Politicians of all shades of
 opinion in Washington peering
 into the future and seeking to dis
 cern the probable issues If 1924,
 were just about agreed today
 that prohibition is in fair way
 to become the chief argument
 two years hence.
 Despite the remarkable victories cha1ked up by the vets in Tuesdays elections, it seemed improbable to- day that anything can be done in the next Congress toward modification of were notable and their numbers in Congress greatly increased, but even the liberals themselves admitted to- day that they will fall somewhat short of actual majority.
 'Wets'' To Make Drive.
 What the far sighted liberals see as a result of Tuesdays gains is a renewal of the agitation throughout the next two years, Keeping the issue constantly before the public so that in 1924 the time will be ripe to strike for actual control of both branches of Congress.
 The association opposed to the pro hibition an1endm ent claimed today that revised figures on Tuesdays cleo tion gives the liberals actual control of the next House of Representative by narrow margin of a few votes.
 Drys Dispute Vets Claim.
 Wayne B. Wheeler. generalissimo of the Qry forces, conceded that there will be in the next Congress. 140 men opposed to prohibition but he disput- ed the control claimed by the vets. To offset the wet claims of controlling the House, he pointed to the fact that the Senate has remained overwheln- dngly dry.
 Thus, even granting the liberals a narrow control of the next House 1t is highly improbable that any damp legislation passed there could get by the Senate, where such dry sentinels as Willis, Democrat, of Ohio; Sterling, Republican of South Dakota, and of Texas, are ever on guard
 Six great states, the most populous states of the Union, rolled up wet victories On Tuesday-New Y ork. New Jersey, Pennsylvania Massachusetts, and Caiforilia-either through voting down more rigorous enforce ment or by sending liberals to the next Congress. In addition, the vets claim partial victories in other states the election of liberals here and there.
 Against these undoniab1e wet claims, Ohio, the home Of the anti-Salo on League, alone returned a dry verdict by voting down a beer and wine amendment.

New Brunswick. N. J.. Nov. 10. -Investigation into the murder of Rev. Dr. Edward w. Hall, wealthy rector of the fashionable Protestant Episcopal church of St. John the Evangelist, and his beautiful choir singer, Mrs. James Mills, was virtually suspended to- day.
 There is no immediate prospect of the case going before the Somerset County grand jury Just as the off cia1s came to the final conclusion that they had solved the crime something happened which led them to change their minds. What it was has not been revealed.
 A number of rumors have followed tn @. In neeting of Deputy Attorney Gen eral Wilbur A Mott, Prosecuting At torney A. Beeekman of Somerset County and Alfred c. Gibbs, foreman of the Somerset County grand jury.
 It was understood that if any in dictments were found they would be Parker but the judge had gone south and will not return until late in the month, indicating that the authorities are not hopeful of putting their evil dence before the grand jury very aoon.
 Case May Be Forgotten
 Opinion is growing here that the case will gradually fade from the pub-
 lie view and be forgotten. County detectives have now been engaged i'll Investigating every clue and every an- gle TOT aDOut elSnt weeks nut apEaf- ently they are not yet satisfied that they have sufficient evidence to con- vict although it was claimed long ago that enough testimony was in hand to obtain indictments.

 pursuit by the police of three cit
 ies yesterday after Eugene Le-
 daux, 2S, and Mrs. Bessie Hayes,
 25, who were trapped in a, barn
 when they failed to escape first in
 stolen automobile and then in a
 stolen rowboat.
 How Car Was Stolen.
 Nor have the movies produced anything more ingenious than the manner in which the stolen automo- bile, the property of former State Senator Joseph H. Whitcomb, was ob- tained. According to the police, Mrs: Hayes, who gives her address as 315 West 18th street, New York city, yes terday visited a store here and pur- chased a key for the door of Mir. Whitcon1b's Hudson car, which had been left parked in front of the coun- ty court house.
 The door Of the car was unlocked and then Ledapx' t5o who n o,.l lives at E 776 travelling salesman the police say, re- turned to the store with the key, said his wife had made a mistake and had the door-key changed for a key to the dashboard After that it was smooth sailing-until they were caught.
 daux charged with the theft of an automobile, was held in 5000 bond for trial at the December term of the Superior court and Mrs. Hayes, charg-
  cused in substance of being an ae- compltce was held in $3,000 bond to appear at the same time Her pond was at first fixed at $1,00O in City court but Judge Christopher l.. Avery in the Superior court later raised her bail to $3,0O0, as the police feared she might fail to appear for trial.
 At 2:10 yestreday afternoon, ex-Sen- ator Joseph Whitcomb, of Shelton street, was acting as juror in the Common Pleas court. Probably 1t was but a freak of fortune, but nev- ertheless, Attorney Leo Davis of Nor walk was acting for the plaintiff in the case asked for a recess for rive minutes that he might get in touch with one of his witnesses who had failed to put in an appearance. Judge Booth granted the recess. senator Whitcomb looking out the window. noticed his car missing. He asked Sheriff Pease to inform the police or his loss giving him a description of the car and the registration number. He then returned to jury duty. Within less than one hour he re- ceived word that his car had been found. He went to headquarters and together with two detectives and a couple of reporters set out for Mfn~ ford to claim his property. Here they were told one of the weirdest tales of the capture of a thief ever re- corded.
 Into Blind Street.
 When word was received that the car was missing the local department imm ediately flashed the outlying towns The first trace of 1t was re- ceived from Milford when Captain of Police Fowler telephoned that the car had proce eded at a, reckless rate Of speed through the center of the town a-1c when he attempted to halt it he was nearly run down. The captain pulled his gun but due to the density of the traffic dared not shoot.
 The car proceeded on it's way, finally ending up at the foot of Gulf street--a blind street-which the driver is believed to have mistaken for an avenue of escape.
 Seeing that his escape was cut off, YedCux fled from the car, taking with him Mrs. Hayes, who was a passen-

How Car Was StoIel

B. Meredith of Hartford so notified the Superintendent by letter yesterday. The action came as the result of a re- quest from ths Bridgeport Board of Education, looking toward the aban- donnent of the Normal school at the end of the present season, so that the students of the present junior class going into the State class might not find themselves embarrassed at any point.
 Commissioner Meredith, late in Sep tember, appointed a committee con- sisting of A. B. Morrill, principal of the New Haven Normal school. and John A. Perkins. principal of the Danbury Normal school and Frederick s. Camp. supervisor of Elementary Education of the State of Connecticut to meet with Supt. Cortright and go oyer the facts as they existed. The City Normal school provides for 1060 hours of theory work in it's junior year; the New Haven State Normal requiring 950, and that of Danburyi slightly less. Ii was with small diff zficu1ty. then. that the adjustment was n1ade.-it lying chiefly in the English field and iu the Science work.
