Work of Congress
In Extra Session

Washington. Oct. 22.-Although the
President in his proclamation calling
Congress together in special session
stated that his purpose in making the
call was solely for the enactment Of
legislation to put into effect the Cuban
reciprocity treaty which was ratified
at a special session of the Senate last
spring 1t is now known that Congress
will not confne itself to this subject,
but will discuss other measures of ma
tlonal import
After Congress convenes II at once
becomes the sole judge Of what matters
II will take up after 1t has disposed OF
the legislation recommended by the
President in his proclamation calling
Congress together. AS the Senate can
not act on the Cuban tariff bill until
the House has first considered and
passed this matter, the upper branch
of Congress will take up the isthmian
canal question.
Senator Morgan will introduce res
oution requesting the President TO in
! form the Senate of the status OF the
negotiations relative to the Panama
canal. and to inform the Senate why,
In view of the rejection OF the treaty
by Colombia. nothing has been done
toward carrying out the provision of
the Spooner amendment OF the act.
which is mandatory and directs the
President to construct the canal by the
Nicaragua route.
Under the rules OF the Senate, Sen
ator Morgan can obtain action on his
resolution, as II Is a high privileged
matter. Advocates OF the Nicaragua
route probably will introdue resolu-
lions of a similar character in the
House.
DR.. Herran, the Colombian Minister
was a caller at the State Department
today and had a conference with Sec
retary Hay and Assistant Secretary
iLoomis on matters pertaining to tbs
Panama canal The doctor is not with
out hope that an arrangement OF sat
isfactory nature will yet be effected.
Mr.. Corea, the Nicaraguan Minister
was also a caller on the Secretary II
the interest of the Nicaraguan route
but the Minister, after his interview
was unable to throw any light on tn
situation.

punch in the first round before the echo
of the opening gong had fairly died

Stokes Was Held Up
By Walking Delegates

New York. Oct. 1.-THE linking OF
his name with that of penitent walk
ing delegate and self-Confessed per-
jurer today brought the remarkable
admission from w. L. d. Stokes that
he paid to a clique of corrupt represen-
tutives of labor $4,000 in cash before
he was able to complete the handsome
Ansonia at Seventy-third street and
Broadway.
More astonishing than the admission
was the charge made by Mr.. Stokes
that he was compelled to pay the dele
gates in order to battle a crooked clique
of building contractors who had en-
ployed the walking delegates, in the
first place, to ruin him.
In the case of Sam Parks, Mr.. Stokes
was called before the Grand Jury.
At that time it is understood Mr..
Stokes swOre that he had never at any
/ time paid cent TO Parks. He was not
asked II he had paid money TO other
walking delegates. In his confession
Farley. who had been one of Sam
Parks closest associates, said that Mi
Stokes had been bed by delegates fol
$4,000.
THAT Is true" said Mr.. Stokes
Walking Delegate Farley says thai

wages low. They were anxious Il
break these contracts and they frs

Mrs. Gibson had been sitting for
few seconds, but at that question she
stood up again. and again curved her

"Of course want you to feel at home
here" cried Mrs. Gibson, but the
point am trying to get at is, why do

where else? There are plenty OF places
where you could go and smoke and play
cards and talk and nope at VIII, and
have q nice woman thrown in for good

here? In short, wherein lies the secret
OF my comfortableness?"
The Bachelor had not an analytical
mind. He had never studied out even
for his own satisfaction the cause OF
Mrs. Gibsons popularity. But that
night, by a kind OF inspired cross-cut
through logic, he arrived at the truth,
and blurted II out:

FROG LEGS FOR

The batrachians are supposedly alive
