WILL CALL EXTRA SESSION
President Determined On Tariff Re-
vision and Railroad LEGISLATION.

President Determined On Tariff Re-
vision and Railroad Legislation.
Washington, Jan. IL. - President
Roosevelt favors the earliest possible
action looking to a revision by con
gress of the tariff. He so informed the
senators and representatives who we're
in conference with him at the White
House last Saturday, and he has made
plain his position to others since that
conference. He will call the 59th con-
gress into extraordinary session as
soon as the committees have indicated
that they are prepared to submit a
tariff measure for passage.
While no decision of a definite char
acter has been reached as to re time
of the extraordinary session, it is rea-
sonably certain that, if one should be
held, it will be called to meet next
autumn, probably in October. On this
point, however, it is too early to speak
definitely, as by the agreement to be
reached between the president and the
leaders of the senate and the house of
representatives, the extraordinary ses-
sion viii not be called until the COM
mittees are ready to report a bill.
On another question, however, that
of legislation relating to the inter-
state freight rates of railroads, his
mind is quite made up. He will fight
for that legislation and fight hard. He
hopes to secure from congress some
definite action regarding that legisla-
ltion at the present session; but if he
does not, he will bring the subject
again before congress at the proposed
extraordinary session, and will urge
with all his power the crystallization
into law of the recommendations he
already has made to congress on that
question The freight rate question he
does not regard as one of expediency.
He holds that it is a subject in which
a great principle is involved and one
very near to all the people of the
country. He regards it, in fact, as the
paramount issue at this time, far and
away more important than the pro
posed revision of the tariff.

sausaqes Killed Labor Leader.

Allentown. Pa, Jan. 11.-Lewis H.
Keller, a prominent furniture worker
and labor leader, died in terrible
agony of ptomaine poisoning. At a
labor meeting on Saturday night a
luncheon was served, in which Frank
furters were included A number of
those who ate the sausages got sick
suddenly, and Keller developed such
painful case of poisoning that mis- case
was given up as hopeless. Five doctors
were called in consultation without
avail. The coroner has been called
and it is likely that impure food prog
ecutions will be made in connection. .

NAN PATTERSON ILL
Has Tonsilitis and May Have to Un-
dergo Operation.


New Yo.~, Jan. 10-Nan Patterson,
who is awaiting a second trial on a
charge of killing Caesar Young, a rich
bookmaker and turfman, is i'll with
tonsilitis in her cell in the Tombs
prison. Her condition is regarded as
serious by the Tombs physician, and
he said that she probably would have
to submit to an operation for the re-
moval of her tonsils. Miss Patterson
said that she did not feel able ia ur-
dergo the operation at present
Since the last jury in her trial re-
ported a disagreement more than two
weeks ago, Miss Patterson has been in
receipt of a large number Of letters
every day. In her mail there was
registered letter from a man in Port
land, Ore, enclosing s25, with the re-
quest that she use the money to pur-
chase herself a New Year token. The
letter said Miss Patterson has many
sympathizers in the west who believe
her innocent, and concluded: IF you
need any more money, send the word. -
Miss Patterson gave the S25 to her
father, saying: "Take this anl Guy
mamma a present and tell her 1 am
sorry l am not home with her."

port of General Smirnoff's death had
never been confirmed.
The only prince-admiral known to
have been at Port Arthur was Rear

Rope Found Near Reading, Pa.
Reading, Pa, Jan. 9.-With bullet
hole in the right temple and fastened
to a tree by a rope, the body of a man
supposed to be Colonel M. Ream, 60
years old, late of Brubakers, Lancaster
county, was found floating in Wyomis-
sing creek, a mile south of Reading.
On his chest was a revolver and in
his pockets were letters that gave a
clue to his identity. It is supposed
that he fastened himself with a rope,
and, walking into the stream, shot
himself. There are no evidences of
foul play. Ream was formerly a pro
moter and insurance agent of this city.
He has a number of relatives residing
at Brubakers.
