BOTH HOUSES IN SESSION
Many Bills introduced, One Calling
for the Arrest of Zelaya as a
Murderer.

Washington, Dec 10.-As a promise
of activity in the interest Of legislation,
senators today introduced more than
$50 bills and resolutions, covering a
great variety Of subjects. Many failed
of passage in the last congress, and 80
per cent will receive seant consideration
this session. Many are for pensions
that could not be granted under the
general law.
Standing out as a striking proposition
was a resolution by Senator RaynOr to-
day authorizing the President of the
United States to cause Presiden Zelaya
TO be apprehended as a common Grim
inal, charged with the marder of two
Americans engaged in revolutionary ac-
tivity in Nicaragua, contrary to the
code Of war of all civilized nations.
The house was in session an hour and
a half. and a large number Of measures
were introduced. The most Striking fea-
ture Of the proceedings was a speech by
Representative Kuesterman Of Wiscon-
sin, denying that his interest in Ger
man shipping was so great as to cause
him to antagonize q bill for the relief
of the American merchant marine
AS no reports have been made from
committees, both houses are without
subjects upon which to legislate. The
senate. therefore. adjourned until Mon
day, and the house until Tuesday.

MORE SHEEP AND FULL
RECOVERY IN PRICES
Total Valuation of the Wool Clip Of
1919 Estimated in Boston at
$SS,S29,746.

Boston, Dec. 1O.-The erection Of a
great wool warehouse by western
growers and Chicago business men in
that city has not threatened the
primacy of Boston as the wool market
of America and the second largest in
the world, according to a statement
issued by the Association of Wool
Manufa cturers today.
The Chicago warehouse recently com
pleted is the outgrOwth, it is said, Of
discomfort among some western inter-
ests with what are alleged to be ar
bitraTy methods Of eastern wool buy
ers, and its purpose is to eliminate the
middlemen.
The National association in it's esti-
mate places the number Of sheep fit
for sheaTing in the United States at
42,2S3,205, an increase of 1885 over
the preceding year The wool season
Of 1903 witnessed a full recovery in
prices and volume of business from the
financial panic of 1907-0S.
The total wool production of the
United States this year is estimated
at 328,1l0,749 pounds, an increase Of
6sSb3.l31 pounds over last year The
total value Of the wool clip Of 1903
as estimated on the price in Boston, is
SSS,S29,746, as compared with S61,707,
SIC for 1908. The total imports of
foreign wool for 1903 were 266, 4O9 ,304
pounds, as compared with $3.50 ,524
pounds for the year preceding.
The estimated wool production Of
the world in 1895 was 2.692,9S6,7T3
pounds The production of the world,
according to the latest official esti-
mate, is 2.S04 pOunds-an in
crease in fourteen years of only Ill
1879 pounds. The wool product is
not keeping pace with the wool using
population. for the per capita product
in 1895 was z IS pounds, while now it
is 1 p pounds.
