AN EXTRA SESSION.
This Question Now Exercises
President and Congress.
lfitis Called il VIII be Principally III the n.
tersst Of Legislation For The
Philippines,
(By tho Associated Press1

Washington. Jan. 25.-Tbat Senators
regard seriously the prospect of an ex-
ira session of Congress in view of the
Presidents urgent recommendation of
legislation concerning the Philippine
Islands was evidenced today by the ac-
tivity of those who desire to avoid an
extra session. Tho speculation con-
cerning the probability of a called ses-
sion was rendered more definite by the
fact that Senators known to be gener-
ally well informed concerning the Pres
ident's plans soined III the discussion of
the outlook.
Careful inquiry also developed the
fact that the President has canvassed
the subject With a few Senator'S. He
does not app ar to have indicated any
fixed determination OF issuing acall but
rather to have consulted them as to the
advisability of such a proceeding. IN
all such instances he seems to have had
the necessit1 of Philippine legislation
in view and Senators generally express
the opinion that in case a meeting is
called the Pnlippine question viii re-
ceive the lions share of attention. The
urgency of the Administration on this
point is due to the importantly of the
Taft Commission.
Senators are divided upon the ques-
ton of the necessity of Congressional
action upon the Cuban question. Some
o fthem contend that Congress will not
be called upen to act in any way upon
the Constitution. Others admit the cor
rectness of this view to the extent of
saying that Congressional action will
not be compulsory. but they advance
the idea thas the President will desire
to have Congress share the responsible
ity of whatever steps may be taken
with reference to the Cuban develop
ment.
The Senators who oppose the Ship
Subsidy Bill are especially opposed to
an eXtraprdinpIy' session and will do all
they can 20 prevent the calling of one.
Upon the MltIe the most that can be
said is that both the Executive and
Congress are discussing the wisdom
of an eXtrG session and that no con-
cluSion has ieen erached on the point.
They admit the urgency of number
of questions which they know cannot
be disposed of at tbs session. At the
same time they hesitate seriously be-
fore the res possibility of a called ses-
sion which ii is generally believed
would, if Gated at 1ll, continue until
well into the summer.

Vigorously, Committee
Appointed.

The auditorium question has again bob
Der serenely up.
This time they say it is here to say
until real bona-fide, tangible and sale
bohs auditorium itself up
The matter has been seemingly out of
sight and out of mind for the past few
weeks, but yesterday a meeting Of the
directors of the company was held at the
law office of Mr.. c. NJ. Busbee.
The committee passed a resolution di-
recting that a collector be sent to col
lect the unpaid subscriptions, and ttah
suit be entered against those subscribers
who fail or refuse to pay the amount
they have subscribed

consideration and report plans for the
construction of a $4,000 auditorium.
1t is stated that about $1,000 was SUBJ
scribed to the auditorium fund. OF this
amount only $4,000 has been paid in.
The remainder or enough of it to enable
the directors to begin negotiations will
doubtless be secured in a few days. The
sense Of the people is that Raleigh should
have an auditorium. and the Board Of Dir
rectors Of the company appreciate alike
the necessity for the auditorium. and
the necessity for Immediate and effective
action in getting the project under head
way The one thing without which no
forward step can be made is money, and
for this reason. the board took steps to
have the promised subscriptions collected.
The text of the resolution passed by
the board is as follows:
Resolved, that the secretary and treas
urer be directeUNto collect all unpaid sub
scriptions to the capital stock Of the au-
ditorium company, and that he report to
the next meeting of the directors of the

scribers failing or refusing to pay their
subscriptions, TO the end that suit may
be instituted to collect the same.

to collect unpaid subscriptions. The di-
rectors appreciate the necessity for
prompt action in beginning the work OF
construction.
The committe to take into consideration

ditorium consists of Messrs. w II. Will
