CECOND to the great Goethe in
~ German literature comes Jo-
ham Christoph Friedrich Won
Schiller, young poetic and dra-
matte genius. Appointed a sur
geon in the army Of the Duke of
Wurttemberg, in 1880, Schiller
turned out his first important
drama, and Immediately took
leave from the army to see the
play enacted.
That absence without leave
caused the duke to condemn the
poet to writing none but medical
treatises. But Schiller escaped
and began the life of a wanderer.
Finally permitted to settle down,
he became poet of the theater at
Mannheim, in 1888, and then be-
gan his production of great dramas
and poems. But the wandering
spirit was in him, and so on he
iourneyed until, stricken ill, he
stopped at Jena, where he wrote
"Wallenstein," considered the sfin-
est tragic work in German. Then
at Weimar Schiller produced sew
eral poems and ended with his
most popular drama, "Wilhelm
Tell"
Germany honored this great

 Judge Iolles decided to postpone the case until, the returns from his second trip ao Florida next week. Bolton was arrested a week ago tonight and was granted a con- tinuance when first arriagned in court last Monday.

Naugatuck, March Denial by Mrs Gertrude (Hanlon) Bender, social service worker here, that Warden John J. Sheridan threat ened her or any employe in the social service office with dismiss sal if they did not hold up the card pertaining to Charles Rath- burn, was made today. Harris Whittemore, Jr, head of the local EZRA. had charged at the now famous FERA board meeting We'd nesday that Warden Sheridan had told girl clerks in this bureau that he would fire them if they did not delay action on the card.
 The Democrat reporter asked her if the warden had made many threats of reprisals of any nature in the Rathburn matter, and Mrs Bender, who is well known Wa terbury resident, replied he did not. She said he made no threats against anyone in the office. Miss Adkins, EZRA clerk, also denied, when questioned. that the warden had threatened her at all.
 Warden Sheridan did tell her he was opposed to MT Rathburn be- ing named an EZRA worker, Mrs Bender said, but this could not and did not influence her in her handling of the investigation or completing the report, she stated.
 She said MT Whittemore asked her once about the Rathburn af- fair, stating he thought MT Rath- burn should have job, but he or ten discussed other sases in similar manner with her Tn his capacity as administrator, she said.
 Unusual Procedure
 The Rathburn application was made early in January she said! but no investigation was started at that time. This she explained is the usual course of procedure in cases where applicants have just lost a job. It is felt they have enough money to sustain them Tor few weeks at least. MT Rath- burn lost his job about the begin ming of the New Year and applied a couple of days thereafter.
 She told Mir Rathburn he should apply at the end of a few weeks period, Mrs Bender told the repor- ters present. He applied at the end of this usual period and his investigation was completed about the end of January, she said. This investigation did not take as long as some others zecause a previous probe had been made at another time, she said, so only review Of the circumstances was needed.
 She reported he was in the need of & $10 a week job to supply his needs and turned the card over to Superintendent of Public Wel- fare Cox. In the usual course of procedure MT Cox would then turn it over to the EZRA and the man would be appointed to work at the order of EZRA officials. MT Cox when questioned today, admitted this was the usual procedure but refused to say anything about the Rathburn case at present.
 No Policies Wanted
 Mrs Bender said her departmen, tries in every way to keep any | political angle out of their inves' legations. She said the condition! of the applicants are reviewed i'm partially. She setted in her opin. ion there was a political aspect to the Rathburn case but declared ii had not been considered when in vestigations were made.
 The feelings of the warden or any other official on certain .ases did not or would not influence in- vestigations, she said. She stress ed the fact that the administration bureau, not her office, gave the

FRENCH WOMEN
 ARE DOUBTFUL

Paris, March 2-CU.P0-French women, long fighting for the vote, wondered to-day whether they had won a signal victory or were vic tims of very practical joke. The Chamber of Deputies last night passed by 453~to 124 bill giving women the right to vote in all elec- tions and to be members of the chamber. The action was unexpect- ed and far more sweeping than the original proposal before the chamber to permit women to vote in municipal elections. To-day the feminists wondered whether the bill was not made liberal with the certainty that it's liberality would insure it's prompt defeat in the anti-Suffrage senate.
