DISCUSSES POLICY
AND APPOIHEIEUIS
President 'Wilson Confers
With His Cabinet ani
Members of Congress
NEW TASKS EASY FOR HIM
Well Trained Assistants Relieve Chief
Executive of ' Routine - Work
Bryan and Daniels at White
H6use Frequently.
Washington, : March,. .8. President
Wilson divided his time today between
discussion of prospective appointments
with members of his cabinet and legis
lative policies with '"members of Con
gress. He cleared : his desk for. the
day at 4 P. M., and took, a, long auto
mobile ride with Mrs. Wilson, com'
ing back to the White House at dinner
lime, his face aglow ; with . the flushfof
Wintry air. Tonight the President
sought recreation at the theatre, where
he occupied a, box.
Four days work in the White House
have moved by as smoothly as if its
occupant, had been - there for 'years.
Though the President has had a long
list of engagements . every day the
work has been far-from exhausting.
The press of detail which held Mr.
Wilson in its grip while he was Gov
ernor of New ; Jersey and preparing
at the same . time for the Presidency;
now is relieved by; an office of well
trained assistants and the ; transfer to
his cabinet members of the chief bur
dehs of the sifting process with : res
pect to appointments. : , yy I - '
The President listens patiently to
his visitors, dispatches ' his business
quickly, takes a . spin in the outdoor
air, signs his -day's mail and settles
himself to- an- evening in the White
House or at-the theatre with a satis
faction that he is Jnaking speedy pro
gress into his new: tasks. He has been
able to 'tak&- holdof hlsttiewfesibnl
which he has 'not "enjoyed for several
months. r-Z&&ui' ' ' '" :' ' - " '
In his spacious office he had numer
ous callers. 'jvThose' who have calledi
on him, both here and. at Trenton, say
he is as non-commital as ever asto
promising those I who come - to make
recommendations, - and quick and-to
the point healways has been on gen
eral policies yv ' - :
In offices adjacent sits Secretary Jo
seph H. Tumulty.'-ilready a favorite
with the squad of newspaper corres
pondents to whonfhe has promised to
be accessible at all,-hours of the day
or night. Mr. -Tumulty , met half x a
hundred correspondents today and out
lined that the policy of -the administra
tion would be one of utter frankness
and candor. Upon Mr. Tumulty has
fallen the burden of meeting most of
the President's callers. Scenes politi
cally unusual have given official Wash
ington no end of gossip for the week
end. William Jennings Bryan andJo
sephus Daniels, the. new secretaries of
State and Navy, respectively, both for
a long time workers for Democracy,
come and go in the White House with
a frequency that symbolizes the change
in administration. Jubilant Demo
crats, who flood the White House to
gaze in curiosity on. the spectacle' of
Democratic power,, go - away inspired
with satisfaction at 'the sight of, the
fruits of their victory.
Thus far the hew administration has
done little besides getting physically
organized. Next' week it is expected
the members of the cabinet will begin f;
with the President to formulate " the
new policies of the Wilson regime. The
President, too, will begin work then on
his special message. Though the Pres
ident has not -finally made up his mind
on what he will recommend, his pres
ent intention is to devote his message
exclusively to the -tariff, pointing out
currency reforms as the next legisla
tive goal. -y.i'-;
The President now has had an op
portunity to get into intimate touch
with the cabinet Vadvisers, some of
whom he never -had met before inau
guration day. He had heard by repu
tation about all these men, but he had
never met Attorney General McRey
nolds or Secretary. Lane Of the Inter
ior Department.: His , meetings had
been casual with Secretaries Wilson,
Oarrison and Houston. "
Curiosity as to what impelled some
ot the selections .brought the explana
tion from some., oft the ' President's
friends that Mr. Wilson believed that
both the War and Interior departments
should be managed by trainecrtawyers
able to render .constructive opinions.
The Philippine problem and the : ad
ministration of: the canal zone influ
enced Mr. Wilson, it is known, to pick
Secretary Garrison 'beause of his long
experience on the; equity bench of New
Jersey. ; "5 .

POLICE'S SIDE OF THE STORY
Superintendent Sylvester Declares He
-Thought His Force Was Ample to
' Tak Care of Crowds Sur
prised at Cops. .
WJashington, March 8. In a , stuffy
over-crowded committee room; . the
leaders of the suffrage parade' that was
halted by disorder in the streets here
Monday, told the Senate sub-committee
investigating the affair today of
their efforts to secure proper protec
tion Major Richard Sylvester, super
intendent of police, related his side of
the story, declaring he believed 'he
had placed a force on Pennsylvania
avenue that was ample to handle the"
- - . mm.
crowd and protect the parade.
Miss Alice Paul, chairman of the
committee which arranged for the .pa
rade, told the committee that for over
a month -she and her associates had
bombarded" Major Sylvester- and the
War Department in their efforts to in
sure proper protection for the parade.
"The district authorities would .refer
us to the .War Department and 'the
War Department would tell us that If
there was any trouble the failure
would be with the district authorities,"
she said. - - " . ' . "
" When: the suffragists : were urging
Mr. Sylvester to grant them a permit
to parade in Pennsylvania avenue, Miss
Paul declared,' the superintendent of
police endeavored to dissuade them
by telling them that the huge inaugu
ration crowdwould be disorderly and
that i he had too few -men ; at? his dis
posal to afford thent proper protection.
Sylvester of these statements" and -urg
ed him to request aid from the War.
Department. This he did not do.
"He told me that the riff-raff of the
South would be here for Inauguration
on account of theDemocratiC" victory,
when he. opposed our"" marching-on
March 3rd, but after we had secured
the permit and were working to en
sure proper protection, he just said:
'Oh, that will be all right'," said Miss
Paul.
Mrs. E. G. Moller, Miss Elsie Hill, of
Norwalk, Conn., and Mrs. Anna Jen-ness-Miller,
of Washington, also told
of their efforts to secure the policing
of the line of March by Federal troops.
Former Secretary of War Stimson had
explained earlier in the day that he
had declined to order cavalry out be
cause the law did not give him the au
thority to do so except in emergencies.
He had, he said, placed a troop of cav
alry at the disposition of the local au
thorities. Joseph S. Carroll, who. was
in charge of the work of halting the
trolley cars along the line , of march,
and. H. C. Hallam, a newspaper cor
respondent, told of incidents In the
streets. V : - -:: "
In reply to questions Major. Sylves
ter told the committee that prior to
the time of paradWdid not think
that the aid of troops was necessary.
"I believed the force I had placed on
the avenue sufficient;" he said. r,
. "Then if the avenue was not prop
erly cleared by 3 o'clock on the daypf
the parade, in your judgment the men
and officers on duty there did hot do.
their duty ?" asked Chairman Jones!
"Yes sir; that is it," answered Major
Sylvester. "I was surprised and shock
ed when I reached Pennsylvania ave
nue after ' escorting President-elect
Wilson to his hotel, to findthat the
crowd had 1 overflowed into., the street
all along the line instead of only at
the point where the ropes had brok
en." -: -'-: -' iV;--.
Major Sylvester said he was at the
union station to meet President-elect
Wilson when he received word as to
conditions. He ordered 'the cavalry
brought-from Fort Myer. '
"The huge croWds," Major Sylvester
said, "could hardly have been kept on
the sidewalks, but they could have
been held back enough to allow the
parade space to pass in ah orderly
manner. He outlined at length the
disposition of the men ttnd theorders
to them, and declared that, there were
more men on duty along the line of
march for the suffrage parade than for
the inaugural parade on March -4th.
He also presented reports , from . the
officers , in -charge along the . line of
march. Steps had already been taken
for a thorqugh investigation of the
matter by i the police department he
said, and any 'breach of duty would be.
punished. Major Sylvester said -that
the hospital reports showed only-one"
person injured and 11 cases of exhaus
tion during the parade. -
The committee will continue its
hearing next week. "

London, March 8. Although the mil
