ASKS LEADERS TO WAIT.

Washington, April l7.-Adjournment
on May 10 is now the program that
will probably be adopted by the House
and Senate leaders. Representative Wat
son, Republican whip Of the House, hid
q long conference with the president on
Tuesday night, and May 0 was agreed
on as the probable date OF adjournment
LOT Congress. Yesterday morning, how.
ever, the president called Mr.. Watson ia
again, and said there would Be d meet
ing Of the governor and others on the
conservation of national resources, which
he had called here for May IL. He told
Mr.. Watson, lie had assured the gov
ernors that Congress would then be in
session, and he hoped adjournment would
not be taken until after May 10.
On leaving the White House Mr.. Wat
son said the presidents wishes would
probably be met, though there was no
reason, so far as actual business was
concerned, why Congress could not get
away May Q.
The president has not found himself
far apart from the Congress leaders. Mr..
Watson told him the bill TO modify the
sherman law could not get ont Of com.
mittee, and there was no prospect for
anti Injunction legislation. The pres.
dent recognizes this and will acquiesce
in IT, In other words, the Hepburn bill
10 modify the sherman law is dead for
this session.
Congress will try to put through cur
rency legislation, bill 70 regulate child
labor il the District Of Columbia, and
perhaps a bin for compensation Of in.
Jured government employees.
A resolution viii be passed authoriz.
ing the ways and means committee TO
sit during the recess and examine into
the workings Of tariff schedules, and the

The report will be made at the regular
session next winter, and not at d special

tion.

Mr.. Brown went to the sugar house
to light the fires. After attending to
this duty he sat down in front Of the

THE pRovENcE or 4 GOVERNOR.
As ExempIifed BY Gov. Hughes Of New
York State.

Political opponents Of Coy. Hughes
are seeking capital for their cause inl
the discussion of his defeat In the
legislative action upon the racing bills.
Some who desire to be friendly with
the New York governor commiserate
him upon misfortune. Even the New
York Times, which has been loyal
supporter, sees ain evil asfgury for his
presidential aspirations in this defeat
Some ill-advised friends are talking of
an appeal to the president to bring a
recalcitrant senator into line and thus
achieve success. These expressions are
curious and interesting. They outline
popular ideal 81 the successful ex-
ecntiye, and BY sharp lines of contrast
emphasize the ideal OF Gov. Hughes In
the performance OF the duties of the
executive office, Incidentally. The con-
sideration Of these expressions ana the
contrasting ideals which they suggest
form reminder that the people have
wandered afar from early ideals in their
present day standard Of executive "suc

EXTRA SESSION
ALMOST CERTAIN.
But Governor Refuses to Discuss Runor
Of Inference at Aqueduct

Albany, n. Y, April l6,--Governor
Hughes consistently refuses to discuss
the report that he would attempt 20 stop
the racing at Aqueduct, which begins
yesterday, and the belief here is that
ne will do nothing in this matter now.
lie il evidently depending on securing
the needed twenty sixth vote to pass
the anti.rnce track betting bills az the
election in the Niagara Orleans district
OF successor to the late Senator Fran
chot, and then do away with race track
gambling in one move.
1t Is almost certain that there will be
an extra session. Governor Hughes has
So indicated by all his talks, and there
are already rumors about the capitol Of
senators arranging for trips abroad to
get out OF the Jurisdiction OF the SER

to again record themselves on the race
track bills Ii Is believed now that
these bills viii be the only legislation
taken up at the extra session, and that
all the other recommendations Of the
governor will be disposed Of before the
end Of the next week. when The present
session win adjourn.
Governor Hughes sees no reason for
calling The special session until after the
election in Senator Franchot's district,
and he seems to have every confidence
that senator who will vote for The
anti betting bills will be elected 1t il
supposed now that he will 20 30 far as
to personally stump the district before
the election, but he would say nothing
on this subject.

BRANCH TRAINS
ARE TAKEN OFF
Mercer County Service Made Even
Less Efficient by Order Eff
fective April I.

The changes in the schedule of the
Mercer county branch of the Rock
Island announced to take effect April
1, will greatly reduce the aceommoda-
ton provided on that branch. insult
cient as it already is from the pas
senger point of view. Trains No. 372
and 377, between this city and Sher-
rard, and Nos. 3071 and 307e, between
Cable and Presumption, are the ones
taken off by the order, leaving but
two trains daily in each direction, AMI
making it impossible TO go to Cable
and return on the same day.
The closing of the coal mines,
which is to take place April /. is the
reason for reducing the number OF
trains on the branch road since coal
is the principal freight hauled. The
change will make travelling slower
than it already is and the present ac
lcCmmodation is certainly poor enough
