PREPARING FOR
EXTRA SESSION
idly Pushing Work.
SOON TO WRITE TARIFF BILLS
Hearings by Committee Came to an
End This Week Philippine and Cur
rency Problems on Program Fight
on Appointments Ripe.
Washington, Jan. 27 Although the
scope ot the legislation to be taken up
t the approaching extra session of
congress has not yet been outlined,
congressional committees rapidly are.
Htsnlng their preliminary work to a
point where recommendations can be
made to President elect Wilson and
(ilans laid before aim for the early
work of his administration. Work on
twlff bills sron will be started, the
hearings reaching an end this week.
The money trust end of the house
banking and currency commltteo al
ready Is working on, a report, while
the currency branch of the same com
mittee will push Its investigation this
week Into other branches of the cur
rency question in the effort to secure
comprehensive suggestions for cur
rency reform.
Two Pressing Questions.
Senate and house leaders do not
know what legislation, If any, in addi
tion to the work of tariff revision will
be taken up at the extra session. Sev
eral of those who have talked with
Governor Wilcon express the confident
belief that the currency nuestion and
the question of liberating the Philip
pines will he Included In the new
president's scheme of action for his
first congressional session.
It Is the general opinion In Demo
cratic circles In Washington that Pres
ident Wilson will at least not "fore
close" congress against acting on ev
erything but the tariff In the special
stbsion.
An effort Is under way by some
democratic senators to postpone ac
Hon on currency reform until the next
regular session and it Is expected that
a movement will be promoted to se
cure an extension of the present Aid
rieh-Vrecland emergency currency
law for at least a year, bo that an
emergency i measure still will be at
nana In case of Industrial or financial
disturbances.
The full extent of the fight between
tho Republican and Democratic fac
tions in the senate over President
Taft's appointments is expected to
develop this week.
Tariff Hearings Near.
The tariff hearings covering the
fourteen schedules of the present law
Plonjr with the free lint and miscella
neous articles ar.u genernl adminis
trative provisions will come to a close
with the end of this week. The wool
schedule, perhaps the most formidable
of all. from the tariff makers' stand
point, was taken up today with pros
pects for a lively session and plenty
of arguments from wool growers,
manufacturers. Importers and cloth
leri. The National Association of Grow
ers ami Manufacturers is expected to
appear in force to fight for retention
tion of the present tariff.
The importance of the schedule Is
shown by the average of 60 per cent
ad valorem as a barrier for protection
of the big woolen Industry of this
country.
NATIONAL HEALTH BUREAU
Medical Trust Idea Refuted by Presi
dmt Elect Wilson.
Hohoken, N. J., Jan. 27. President
elect Wilson addressed a private gath
ering of prominent social workers at
the home of Mrs. Caroline B. Alex
ander, where he and his family were
guests. In a statement given out by
Mrs. Alexander, setting forth Govern
or Wilson's remarks, he Is quoted as
declaring that In forwarding tho move
ment for a national bureau of health
It was desired to remove the Impres
sion that the government expected to
set up a "medical trust."
The governor is reported as having
cnld that there was no Intention to
put any school of medicine In charge
of national health projects, but that
all schools of medicine should work
In harmony on the question of sanita
tion, which ho considered most Import
ant. Several speeches were mado em
bracing immigration, child labor, prls
on contrat labor, workmen's compon
at!on and industrial relations.
Railroads Willing to Arbitrate.
New York, Jan. 27. Reiteration of

TEACHERS RAP AT
EDUCATIONAL LAW
Emphatic In Denunciation ol
Teil Book Concerns.
Lincoln, Jan. 27 The teachers'
Kuild of Nebraska, recently organized,
has adopted a lengthy constitution and
by-laws attached to a preamble which
attacks the present system of legisla
tion in tho Ftate nnd nation and seta
out the fact tat superintendents and
teachers aro dominated by politicians
and the schools are exploited by text
book companies, teachers' agencies
and supply houses.
Will Fight Increased Fees.
A merry little fight Is In sight in
the house over llardln'8 bill to in
crease the mileage fees of sheriffs
Irom f cents to 10 cents. Hardin's
plea Is that the larger fee Is proper
because an nutomobilo is virtually ne
cessary In tlK-se modern times. The
bill bus called forth many protests by
letter from constituents of Hardin
and others . Opponents bring out the
fact that sheriffs frequently serve a
r.umber of summons on a single trip,
but collect mileage as though each re
quired a separate trip. This, It Is said,
offsets the low mileage rate.

London. Jan. 27. The Baikan plenU
potentiaries who have received full
powers from their respective govern
ments appointed a committee to draft
a note to the Turkish phni potentiaries
explaining why the pedce conference
must now bo considered broken, off.
It is hoped the drat', t ill be ready for
approval by the fu'A delegation to
night. This action of the aKies Is part of a
series of well considered forms of
pressure with which the Balkan dele
gates hope p obtain their object with
out resuming the war.
The meetimr lasted for an hour and
a half and the course to be followed
was given earnest consideration. Two
distinct view? were manifested one
for the Immediate rupture of the ne
gotiations leading to a resumption of
the war and the other favoring a tern
porizlnR policy, In order to avoid Ir
revocable steps. The latter conrso tri
umphed and a committee was appoint
ed, consisting of one member from
each delegation.
Arguments Again Outlined.
Oeneral lines were laid down on
which the note is to be drafted, com
prising the arguments already set
forth many times as to why tha
league demands the surrender of Ad
rlanople and the Aegean Islands as an
Indispensable condition to the conclu
sion of peace.
That the policy of the allies Is to
gain time Is patent and does not de
ceive anybody. The delegates decided
that the advantages to be derived
from the recumptlon of hostilities
would be n proportion to the rlska
they ran and that they would not take
that step unless absolutely forced to
do so. It Is realized that even a par
tlal reverse would have grave moral
nnd material consequences apart from
the loss of thousands of men.
In addition, the fact Is not over
looked that there Is danger of Ru
ninnla advancing from the rear and
of Austria Imposing on Servla and
Montenegro Us conditions for remain
ing neutral. The only disadvantage In
delaying decisive action Is In keeping
large amies Inactive and on a war
footing for a long time, thiiB heavily
taxing- both the financial and agricul
tural resources of the country.
