SESSION WILL Be CALLED
SUPREME COURT WILL NOT RE-
VERSE IT'S DECISION.
And the Governor Will Issue Proc
lamation In a Shtrt Time---Re-
norts Fran Charleston. &

A special dispatch from Charleston
says:
While there has been some doubt as
to whether Governor Dawson would
call an extra session of the state leg
slature this doubt has been dispelled
by developments. From the best pos
sible source it has been learned that
the state supreme court will not re-
verse it's decision in the cases from
Writ county which are up before it
and which decision will probably be
handed down this evening some time.
From other sources the informa-
lion has been CLEANED that Governor
Dawson has prepared his proclama-
ion and that as soon as it is con
,idered expedient, after the supreme
court has rendered it's decision the
proclamation will be issued. The pro
;lamation will include matters thai
nave already been made public ano
here is possibility that some add
ions will be made.
Despite the opposition that has been
expressed by the members of the leg
stature from all parts of the state,
n addition to that of the people gen
orally, the session will be called, and
the proclamation will be issued pro-
badly the latter part of the week

MAY CHANGE THE LAW.
Maryland Legislature to Repeal Pre-
sent Automobile Law.

1t is said that the legislature will
be asked to change the automobile
law and take the speed regulation off
of them and only subject them to
general law as to reckless handling
and excessive speed to the danger of
the public. This will leave TO the POI
lice and constables the regulations of
the automobile situation regardless of
speeds, and to the magistrates dis
'cretionary power as to deciding wheth,
er the speed at such a point, as testiA
fed to, was dangerous to the public
or not.

mess man that he would not dream of
trying to run his business without a
bank account. The old way of counting
out silver and paper currency to pay
bills belongs to the dark ages. Mis-

undisputable proof, both of the pay

"RUSHBEE ARE MYSTIFYING

Exported to Manila.


Great eXcitment was caused in the Blu

The code book was hurrledly searched
by the clerks iU charge. the officials being
out at luncheon. under the belief that an
important dispatch OF secret and grave
importance had been received. The code
book failed TO throw any light upon the
sinister meaning Of rush bees" and
great fear prevailed until the return Of
Maj. MacIntyre. acting chief Of the bu-
reau who Interpreted the message.
It appears that some time ago tile Phil
ippine government requested the United
States 10 send 20 the islands a shipment
of plain American humble bees. 10 be
used in the fertilization Of Philippine
plants The native bees, IL appears. are
sluggish and do not get around among
the flowers as actively as they should, to
keep the vegetation Of the country up to
The standard,
Accordingly, Secretary Wilson, of the
Agricultural Department was appealed
70. He has had some OF the most ex-
pert insect chasers of the Bureau Of
Entomology piking around the public
parks OF the city for the past week or
so catching a cargo Of bumblebees for
the Filipinos. Two cigar boxes Of the
hustling busy bees are now in captivity.
Two young Filipino students. who are
ready to return TO the islands, will be
intrusted with the bees.
Lest the bees become too strenuous on
the voyage and cause too much commo-
ton between decks, they will be kept on
ice and transported across the Pacific
in a cOuatOse condition.

Would Tax Bank Deposits
For Fund to Avert Panics

To tax the banks on their deposits
and place the money so raised On a fund
for the reimbursement Of depositors in
busted financial Institutions is the sure
cure for panics recommended by Repre-
sentative Campbell. of Kansas. Mr.
Campbell had a toIk with the President
today, and after his conference. gave
his views on the situation, and advanced
the idea for protecting the people He
did not say that the President had
O. K d the plan, but seemed confident
that all it needed was a trial to demon
strate its feasibility.
Mr.. Campbell Is the Congressman who
gained quick fame a year OF so ago by
jumping the Standard OIL Company. For
a time it looked as though ne had the
terrible octopus at his mercy. but in
some unaccountable manner the. Shiny
monster slipped through the meshes OF
the Campbell net, and is still at large
II people were absolutely certain
that their savings We're safe, there
could be no panics, said Mir Camp
bel. 1T would be A very simple matter
nded 10 have the Government establish
fund TO be made up of moneys received
from a tax Of say, Is to j per cent
OF the deposits taken IN by the banks
that come into that class. 1t would Of
course be optional with the banks
whether they paid the tax or not. But
1 guess all Of them would come in in
hurry for no one would deposit money
IN a bank that wasn't Of the right sort. 90
