WOULD HAVE PRESIDENT CALL
EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS

To the Editor Of The Times:
it is clearly the duty OF the President
to call an extra session Of Congress. The
reasons are many and decisive:
There are numerous measures pending
of great public interest; they cannot re-
ceivo the deliberate study needed in the
general session; the season after March
is more valuable for legislation as for
other business; the days are long and
the inspiration OF the coming spring is
i'm the air. There are many experienced
Senators on tho ground, already well up
in the art OF legislation; they have ex-
pended much time and thought. and
have fresh impressions Of the current
business. If dropped at the close Of
the session. much practical working
force is lost.
The short session, now over, has Ger
tainly not overtaxed either the mental
or physical power of Congress. II is dis
creditable 10 our lawmakers to leave
the public business unfinished.
Also, there are general ccnsidera-
tions which are weighty and should be
decisive IN this matter. Congress has
now become body Of officers drawing
an annual salary. They owe annual
service to the country the same as the
executive officers. Equitably, they
should remain at the Capital until the

WOMEN INSPECTORS
TO BE DISCONTINUED
Hold Up Ten Passengers in a Month,
Who Subsequently Land.

Secretary Shaw has informed the
Civil Service Commission that the ser
vices Of women inspectors OF immigra-
tion at New York viii be discontinued.
This decision was reached after an
examination of the report OF Commits
sioncr Williams stationed at Ellis
Island. in regard to the work OF the
women in the course Of the past month
The five women inspectors boarded
thirty-twO steamers from Europe and
eleven steamers from other points. As
a result OF their inspection. ten women
were sent to Ellis Island before a board
OF special inquiry. all OF whom were
allowed to land. The women inspectors
were able to offer advice to sixty seven
women as TO a proper place for women

The women passengers OF the second
cabin object 10 being singled out Tor
special examination. Besides this Il
is impossible for the women inspectors
20 intercept immoral women while still
in the steamers. and it has been
proven that there arc few women com
ing 10 this country in the second cabin
who require advice as 10 the proper
places 20 go.
