For the most part the pupils have
been distributed among four other
schools in that part of the city.
These include the Brightwood School,
Nicholson street between Thirteenth
and Fourteenth streets; the Joseph

tween Thirteenth and Fourteenth;
the Job Barnard School, Decatur
street between Fourth and Fifth, and
the John Greenlief Whittier School,
Fifth and Sheridan streets.
These schools, however, are also
filled and would profit by the relief
that a new wing would afford at
Truesdell. Each would be near ca
pacity without the sixth grade over
flow from Truesdell, and the chances
are they will be even worse unless
some relief is afforded.

be passed, the time element is swiftly
cutting down the number of States

HYDE PARK, N. Y, Feb. 26
G.N.SO.-President Roosevelt to
day apparently was winning a
long-range duel with recalcitrant
blocs in Congress after the first
defeat on his works bill.
Shelving other pending mat
ters, he was personally directing
the battle by telephone from
Hyde Park. Reports from his
aides in Congress and other Capl
tai centers eheered him visibly,
observers related. These re-
counted the rising tide of public
opinion over the reverse of Ad.

His close attention to this de
velopment slowed down the

if it could be completed.
Awaits Public Reaction
Settled down after his one
vacation outburst of Sunday,
when he surprised his Krum
Elbow neighbors by covering the
country in an old-time sleigh, the
President was said to be study,
ing several departmental reports.
He was reported unwilling to
abandon his midwinter rest de,
spite the threatening situation in
Congress. His strategy appar
emily is to stay quietly behind
the scenes and let the country
express its own sentiments.
When public opinion has crys.
talized in one direction or the
other he intends to make a move
himself, following it closely with
his Shipping message, and pressing
for action so there will be nc
chance for further demonstration
by congressional dissenters.

including a radio appeal to the
