of Congress Says Chair
man Payne.


Washington, Nov. 7,-Representa-
tive Payne, chairman of the ways and
means committee of the house, had
long conference with the president to-

this purpose would be called, the date
depending entirely upon the wishes of
Taft. He is of the opinion an extra
session will be called about March Is.

1t was not often that the light in the
old mans eyes was as gentle as now.
He had sent his secret agents away
and was to return to Vienna on the
following day. The young man whom
he now entertained in his apartments
received his whole attention. He pick
ed up the card which lay on the table
and scrutinized 1t critically, while his
eyes lighted with sudden humor.
The card was Il genteman's carte de

Yes. Assuming that, what should
