TALK OF EXTRA SESSION
Senators Think Legislation is Needed
For the Philippines.
Action of the Supreme Court Indicates
Decision on the Status OF New Ter
ritory Before March 4.

Washington, D. C.-The extra ses'
sion talk continues in Senatorial cir
lies. and is largely due to the opinion
hold by the Senate Committee on Phil
ppines, of which Senator Lodge is
Chairman, that it is imperative that
legislation for the islands be enacted
at once. Senator Lodge openly de-
,lares that other legislation besides
the Spooner resolution will be neces'
iary.
While several of the Senators are
declaring that an extra session is now
practically certain. the President, who
alone can call such session, Is not
discussing the matter. A large num-
Der of Senators and Representatives
saw the President Tuesday. but he
lid not mention an extra session to
any Of them.
The President has announced that
tf an extra session becomes necessary
be will cancel all engagements, even
nis trip to California In the spring. to
remain here while Congress meets.
Members Of the House are almost
unanimous In the opinion that there IS
no need or probability Of an extra
session.
The decision of the Supreme Court
In the insular constitutional cases will
have q great deal to do with the extra
session question. and the Supreme
Court has taken significant action. 1t
announced that on Friday it would ad.
,ourn until February II. meet that
day to render decisions and then ad.
iourn until February 25, thus taking
a recess Of nearly four weeks in tho
busiest season.
This is taken to mean that the court
Is going to consider the constitutional
cases during this recess. so as to give
O decision before March 4.
The purpose Of the extra session
will be to pass bill containing somo
general provisions for the islands.

A Girls Idea of BOYS.

At a recent public school examina-

1.-THE boy is not an animal, yet they
can be heard to a considerable Or
tance. When a boy hollers he opens
his big mouth like frogs, but girls hold
their toung til they are spoken to. and
they answer respectable, and tell just
how it was.
"a boy thinks himself clever be-
cause he can wade where the water is
deep. When the boy grows up he is
called a husband, and he stops wad-
ing and stays out nights. but the
grown-up girl is widow and keeps
house."-New York Journal.
