CADETS TO BE III LINE Brigade of Young Soldiers for Inaugural Parade. GEN. BELL PLANS FEATURE Massachusetts Troops Ask Permission to Enter District. TO NAME AIDS FOR BIG BALL Chairman of Floor Committee Will Assign Representative From TTo Cto +A juavu tj tt An important meeting of the general inauguration committee will be held tomorrow morning in the New Willard Hotel. Several matters of absorbing interest* will be brought before the session by Kdward J. Stellwagen. chairman, and individual committeemen. M. I. Weller, hairman of the committee on public comfort, says the southern states are manifesting a lteen interest in the inauguration ceremonies. Maryland will be represented in the parade by a brigade of infantry. Heretofore the state has sent only two regiments. It is Mr. AVeller's expectation that Gen. Charles D. Gaither, adjutant general of the Maryland National Guard, will come to this city tomorrow or Friday to arrange for quarters for three regiments. A joint resolution is ponding in Congress granting the Maryland troops the use of the corridors of the city hall as living quarters during their stay here. Brigade of Cadets. A prospective feature of the parade will be a brigade of cadets of educational Institutions in all parts of the United States. Acting under instructions from Maj. Gen. Bell. United States Army, grand ma> =hal of the inaugural paVade, Gen. Johnston. chief of staff, has addressed circular letters to about eighty educational institutions maintaining cadet organiza l*' -no, ai jucu cinu c?|atiu iucvi ulivu by officers of the regular army, requesting to be informed if they intend to take part in the inaugural ceremonies. In case of favorable responses it is intended to combine all such organizations into a cadet brigade of one of the divisions, as was done four years ago. Brig. Gen. T H. Bliss of the army had command of the cadet brigade on that occasion. Ten educational institutions were represented in the line four years ago with 12S officers and 1,772 cadets, including the cadets of the two local high schools. If present plans are carried out all such military organizations will be confined to the proposed cadet brigade and will not be given places elsewhere, in the line, either as escorts to governors of states or other officials. The order or precedence in line will be governed in the case of colleges in the thirteen original states by the date of the ratification of the Constitution and by all other colleges by the date of the admission of the state into the Union. By that rule the High School Cadets of the District will naturally get near the left of the line. No restrictions will he imposed in the matter of uniform and each organization may wear its distinctive uniform, which in most cases is modeled after the cadet gray of the West Point battalion. Massachusetts Troops Coming. Armed troops will invade the District of Columbia about M<arch 1 and remain here for several days. Adjt. Gen. W. N. Brigham, chief of staff of the Massachusetts state militia, has written to the Commissioners to ask permission for the troops of that state, armed and equipped, to enter the District between February 2t> and March 8 for the purpose of attending the inauguration. The Commissioners have granted the request. Chairman Percy S. Foster of the committee on music is practically "resting on liis oars," so far as the arrangement of the details for the program of music is concerned, until it is definitely determined where the inauguration ball will be held. However, Mr. Foster today named the members of his committee and the list was approved by Chairman Stellwagen, and he is arranging o^her tentative details so that the committee will be ready for action when the proper time arrives. The names of the committeemen will be given out tomorrow, Mr. Foster said today. Aids at the Ball. Gist Blair, chairman of the floor committee of the inaugural ball, after a conference with Thomas F. Walsh, vice chairman, reached the decision to appoint as aids at the ball one representative from each of the states and about twenty others from the District of Columbia. There will also be a floor committee of about sixty members. The first appointments as aids on the floor committee to be announced by Chairman Blair are those of Walter Denegre of Louisiana and Henry Clarkson Scott of Missouri. Mr. Denegre will remain in Washington until the inaugural celebration is over. -The subcommittee on reviewing stands held a meeting late yesterday afternoon at headquarters in the New Willard. John B. Lamer, chairman, presiding. The decision was reached that the committee will only build and control two of the reviewing stands?the President's stand in front of the White House and the ope opposite on Lafayette Square. The remaining sites will be leased to the highest bidders. but all stands are to be erected in conformity with the plans of the committee. A Red Cross division of physicians and trained nurses will be stationed along the line of the parade March 4. The ill and injured will be treated In hospital tents to be erected in convenient localities. Committee on Historic Sites. The committee on historic sites met last night at the New Willard. Maj. Gilbert Thompson, Frederick D. Owen, Dr. W. D. Wirt. Madison Davis. Z. Moses, Benjamin W. Reiss. secretary of the Association oi Oldest Inhabitants; James Croggon. Joseph I.

TO PENSION TEACHERS District Authorities Indorse the Madden Bill. UflAIMuto Ant ^UUUtbltU Amendments Recommended by Board of Education. PAY AFTER 30 YEARS' WORK Proposed That Compensation for Those on the Retired Roll Be Not Less Than $600. Recommending only a few minor changes, the District Commissioners today sent to Congress their approval of the Madden bill providing for the retirement of veteran teachers of the District public schools on pensions. The bill was referred to tlie Commissioners for report by Representative S. \V. Smith, chairman of the House District committee, and the Commissioners, in turn, referred it to the board of education, who indorsed its general provisions. In recommending favorable action on the bill the Commissioners suggest, that it be amended as suggested by the board of education. An Admirable Bill. The letter of the board says; "The board of education herewith- returns the H. R. bill 22282, with recommendations. The board wishes to take this opportunity to express its deep appreciation of Mr. Madden's practical in1 terest in the schools of the District, as evinced by the bill introduced by him December 7, 1908, for a 'retirement fund to be disbursed for public school teacher;; in the District of Columbia.' "The bill is an admirable one, and is, in many respects, similar to the one submitted by the board, but is even more generous in some of its provisions. The placing of all moneys received from gifts, legacies, donations, bequests and other sources in a permanent tund and the providing for necessary clerical help are excellent features. "In order to lessen the drain on the annuity fund the board suggests that thirty years is a short enough term for a longevity retirement, and also that a teacher retired for disability in less than thirty years shall receive an annuity that, bears.the same relation to a full nnnnitv uc hpr tprm nf sprvirp Hr?p? t n thirty years. "The hoard believes that a possible sealing of annuities will defeat the object of the bill, as the teacher will not retire if uncertain of the amount of her retired pay. "Clause H, page 9, changes the present law and is counter to a decision of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, that no law should prevent the board of education from dismissing a teacher for incompetency. Additions Suggested. "Certain additions to make the bill conform to the present organization of schools are suggested: "1. Restricting the date of retirement for longevity to July 1 or February 1. that the organization be disturbed as little as possible. "2. Specifying the time and manner of payment to annuitants. " * ' y. Providing that the retired pay of a teacher who has taught thirty years be not less than $?40U. "4. Changing the phraseology of section 3, page 9. to conform to the wording of the present school law. "The board of education is most anxious that a retirement bill be enacted into law at this present session of Congress, and wish to proffer their services for any assistance they may be able to render to the author of this bill or to the committee that has the bills under consideration." 0 Mr. Macfarland's Hope. Commenting on the bill. Commissioner Macfarland said today: "I took great pleasure today in sending to Congress the approval of the Commissioners upon Representative Madden's bill to establish a public school teachers' retirement fund in the District of Columbia, because I am deeply interested in the matter, and I trust that Congress may enact such legislation at this time. At the last session the bill prepared by the board of education committee of which Mr. VV. V. Cox was chairman was. on my motion, approved by the Commissioners, and now that the board of education has approved the Madden bill, with the amendments suggested to strengthen it, I was very glad to ask the Commissioners to approve the bill. Everybody must agree that our public school teachers are entitled to the consideration which this legislation proposes at comparatively slight expense to the public; it is a smail return for the work of these men and women, than whom the public has no more faithful servants."
