Washington, Jan. 17.-Congress will be asked by the President to give the interstate commerce commission in- creased powers to enable them to deal with such emergencies as that now existing with regard to the car shortage question. The commission already has submitted to the President a prelimi- nary report of the investigations made by some of it's members in northwest into this matter and 1t. will submit recommendations very soon.
 When these are ready, the President will prepare a special message to be sent to Congress urging necessary leg islation.
 The President made this announce ment today at a conference at the White House with Messrs. Knapp, Cle- ments, Harlan and Clarke. of the in terstate commerce commission and four members of the executive committee of the national reciprocal demurrage convention recently held at Chicago, who had come to Washington to take up the matter with MT.

 for Contempt of Court.
 Albany, N. r., Jan. 17.--Mayor Me- Clellan of New York, in papers served on Attorney General Jackson today gives notice of motion to be made at special term of the Supreme Court on January 26,, in this city at which he will ask that an order be issued pun ishing the Attorney General for con. tempt of court.
 The Mayor asks that the Attorney General be imprisoned for his action until quo warranto proceeding which he has begun on behalf of the people of the State to test the title of his of- flee as Mayor be withdrawn and dis continued.
 Mayor Mcclellan, in his afidavit; contends that the Attorney General should be adjudged in contempt for vio- lating temporary writ of prohibition restraining him from holding. hear ing on an application of counsel for W. R. Hearst, that he gave his con- sent to the commencement of the ac- tion. He cites the facts that the At torney-General began the second action while the writ was in effect.

EXTRA SESSION
 NOW ASSURED Gov. Conner Frankly
 States Intention. WORK MUST BE COMPLETED If Term is Too Short, Executive Will Act. Early Adjournment of Legislature, Looking to RecOnvening in sum-
 mer or Fall Is Regarded
 as Certan.

The Alabama Legislature will be its work. If Governor Conner thinks it necessary. The Governor has frankly told the members of the Legislature that he would call the Legislature to- gether in extra session, if the fifty days allowed under the Constitution was not sufficient in which to do the work they were instructed to do.
 The question of an extra session will not become acute, however. until some time late in the summer or early in the 1alt A split session of the Legis- lature is now certain. No agreement has yet been reached among the House and Senate leaders as to the time at which the first adjournment will be taken. It Is generally believed 1t will be ordered some time in the neighbor- hood of February 10 or 15. The leaders figure that adjournment should come after the Legislature will have been In session for twenty-five or for thirty days.
 The talk of the Legislators as to the reconvened session fixes 1t somewhere in the neighborhood of July l. But there Is some objection to this Many of the legislators, particularly those from the north counties, do not fancy spending the hot month of July in a city of brick, stone and steel They WOuIu prefer tO nave the session come later in the season. probably in Sep tember. But these are things yet to b, decided.
 For the present 1t is enough to know the Legislature will have time to do it's necessary work. The Governor has told some of his Legislative friends he was quite willing to extend the time al- lowed the law makers under the Con stitution, but he would prefer to see the work accomplished in the consti- tutional time limit If it were possible
 It will be remembered the Constitu- tion allows the law makers only fifty days to sit and pass laws. Whatever action the Governor takes, if he finds any necessary. would be the extensions of the fifty days. The extension would come at the flag end of the reconvened session.
 There are a number of reasons that can he advanced as to the benefit of the four or five months recess. Tn the first place. the law makers could go home and find out what the people thought of their work. and in the sec ond place, some of the most important laws might be tested and the opera tion of some of those not so import ant could be watched. In the third place. committee might be named to consider and report upon all pending legislation, the report to be considered at the last session

PUBLIC SALE FOR THE BONDS Committee Decides to
 Advertise. WILL PAY GTY'S DEBT Rgfunding Issue Tangle Finally
 Strengthened Out. compesstive Bids wni Be Sought for seearities of Montgomery Aggre- sating ss,OOO-PrOnounced
 Valid and Regular.

The refunding bonds of the city of AFoutgomery will be disposed of at public sale. It was decided to take fhis step at joint meeting last night nf she Finance Committee of the City Council and the special Bond Commit 4as. designated by the Aldermanic body vVf,en the question of floating refund- 1ng securities was first presented to the Council. Mayor Teague, City At forney c. F. McIntyre4 And Aldermen Gunter, Lobman and Tait composed the eonference.
 The relative advantages and disad- wantageg of public and private sale were discussed at length, and it was the unanimous conclusion of the mem bers of the Committees that the great est benefit would accrue to the city from advertising the sale of refunding bonds. It was thought that by invit- ing competitive bids. better offers would be received from prospective purchasers.
 These bonds, aggregating $46s,000, are issued to retire an issue of railroad aid bonds which matured January |, 1907, and bore interest at f 1-2 per gent. It will be remembered that when it was proposed to put out a bond bearing this rate of interest, the le- gality of the city's issuing a bond bear ing a rate of interest greater than 4
 
 with the result that an opinion favor able to the ctty's course was handed down by the Supreme Court.
 In the meantime the old Issue of bonds matured and arrangements were made with a trust company to take them up on presentation, negotiations being conducted through President A. III Baldwin of the First National Bank Of this city.
 The refunding bonds will be adver 4ised in a number of the prominent financial journals. Bids will be re- ceived by the City Treasurer until Feb ruary II, when they will be opened, at noon, by Mayor Teague. and the Successful bidder will be announced.
 Messrs. Dillon and Hubbard of New York city, who are regarded as au thorities on bond Issues, delivered to 8he City Attorney a favorable opinion on the validity and regularity of the refunding bonds.

the serious condition of affairs result ing from the present situation When they came again today at his invita- tfon he made his position very clear and told them of his willingness to help secure remedial legislation along certain lines.
 His ideas as expressed by one of those present was that whatever amendments to the Interstate Com merce Commission act on this subject may be eA1cted they should not be- come operative until July 1. when the railroads would have ample opportuni- ty to prepare for the change. None of the Interstate Commerce Commis- sioners was willing tonight to be quo ted. But unofficially they say the rec ommendation to the president will in- clude some form of reciprocal demur- rage so that the carrier may be pen- alized for delay in moving as well as the consignee for delay in unloading cars and probably some suggestions for the interchange of cars by railroads to meet extraordinary demands in one section not existing in another,

Birmingham. Jan. 17.-(SpeciaL) )-Is the Atlantic, Birmingham and Atlanta Railroad going to build direct from the Birmingham district to New Orleans? Another corps of engineers arrived in Bessemer last evening and from all ac- counts they came from the country lying between Bessemer and the coast and have been running preliminary lines for the construction of the road.
 There are nearly forty engineers in the field near here and their work lies out west of Bessemer. The lines they are running are in the direction of Ens- ley and North Birmingham, indicat- ing that the new road will take that direction.
 It is probable that 1t will also pene- trate the Blue Creek coal fields as work Is being done in that direction also.
