companies of the city, whose men are

yards is in violation of the interstate
commerce law The plaintiffs argued
that goods are in transit in the mean
ing of the law, from the moment they
are loaded into a wagon, when a receipt
is given by the transfer company. and
this contention was upheld by the court.

Washington, March 13-The Carib-
bean squadron, under command of
Admiral Coghlan, has been ordered to
Honduras, where the revolution is as
Stunning proportions, to protect Amer
lean interests. Acting Secretary of
the Navy Darling to-day sent the fol-
lowing cable instructions to Admiral
Coghlan at San Juan:
Proceed with squadron, Olympia.
Panther, Marietta, Vixen and Brutus,
collier, protection American interests
Puerto Cortez and Ceiba, Honduras.
Communicate with minister. Autho-
rized to leave Vixen (tended) under
commandant at San Juan"
The Navy Department decided to
send Admiral Coghlan to Honduras on
the theory that a flag officer on the
scene would be in a position to take
such steps as may. be necessary for
the protection of American interests
without constant reference to the de-
partment here. The presence of a
squadron, instead of a single ship, il
was thought, would also have a salu-
tary effect.

FOR EXTRA SESSION
ROOSEVELT SEEMS TO BE ENTER
TANNING PLANS.
He is DOING HIS BEST
TO SECURE RATIFICATION OF THE
CUBAN TREATY.

IL Is Announced That the President

Extraordinary Session of the Fiji
tE-Eighth COneress-If the Amend
ment Is Adopted, Calling For the
Houses Approval, He viii Prob
ably Take Such ActiOn-LacIx of m
quorum Might Also So Result.
Washington, March 13.-It can be
stated by authority that President
Roosevelt has not definitely made M
his mind to call an extraordinary SEES
sion of the Fifty-eighth Congress. He
is, however, considering the practical
bility of doing so.
when he was informed that it was
the intention of the Senate so to amend
the Cuban reciprocity treaty as to rom
der action upon it by the House of
Representatives necessary, he informed
some members of the Senate that he
would hold himself free to call an
extraordinary session of the Congress
In order to secure action upon it, No
definite time was mentioned by the
President for the meeting of the ex-
traordinary session.
The President is much in earnest
in his desire to have the Cuban treaty
ratified and made effective. It can
be said that, so strong is this desire.
he even has considered the advisa bility
of calling the Congress into extraor-
binary session this spring, if the SEN
ate should permit the Cuban treaty
to fall through lack of quorum. That,
however, is a contingency which he
considers improbable. Assurances
have been received from the leaders
of the Senate that both treaties will
be acted on at the present session.
Further than that the President
''holds himself free to call an ex-
traordinary session of the Fifty eighth
Congress, nothing has been determined
