SPRING SESSION
OF LEGISLATURE
SEEMS CERTAIN
LITTLE DOUBT NOW BUT THAT
STATES EXECUTIVE WILL IS
SUE LOOKED-FOR CALL.
POLITICIANS ARE NOT ANXIOUS
Work in Capitol Is Not Particularly
Desirable at This Season of
the Year.

MADISON, Wis, Jan. 3.-TSpecial. I
There now is every prospect that a
special legislative session will be called
by Gov. Davidson. A peculiar error on
the part of some several score assembly
men and senators, lobbyists and lawyers,
has been detected. 1t has to do with
the governors constitutional right,
which of course, takes precedence over
any act Of the Legislature. This consti-
tutlonal right Of the states chief execu-
tive permits him to call a special session
at his will. 1t does not require him to
give sixty days notice or even one hours
notice. Here is the provision:
Article ", Section HAS amended No,
Vember s, 1SS1-The Legislature shall meet
at the seat of government at such time as
shall be provided by law, once in two years
ana no oftener, unless convened by the
governor in special session, and when so
convened no business shall be transacted
except as shall be necessary to accCl>E1,sh
the special purpose for which it was CON
vened.
This does away with all the talk and
newspaper persifage to the effect that
the governor must put the date of the
special session sixty days ahead of his
call 1t has worried politicians not a lit
tie to think of a call issuing this month
for session in March or April. That
would bring it too close to the period Of
political disturbance and unrest it is
said.
How Mistake Was Made.
The mistaken impression that the gov
ernOr would be forced to give sixty days
notice of a special session came about
Assembly resolution creating special
committees to draft bills for passage at a
special session. 1t said that the commit
tees shall be authorized to print their
reports and send them to every member
of the Legislature at least sixty days
before the converting of a special ses-
sion.' This resolution has no power
to break down the constitutional provi-
sion, it is stated.
In the light of this newly discovered
situation, the work of the special com
mittees is of interest. There is every
prospect of a majority report from the
water power committee agreeing with
the Senate side Of bitter fight for
the conservation of the states original
rights This committee soon will hold
a final meeting. The income tax COM
mittee practically has agreed on bill
very similar to the Ingram bill apply
ing the income tax policy in connection
with the familiar property tax.
Committee Meets Tuesday.
The banking committee will meet in
Madison on Tuesday. 1t is said to be
close to an agreement that will be inter
esting reading. The committee on educa-
ton will meet January p and it also is
said to be about ready to present its
report. The good roads committee will
be unanimous with the exception that
Senator Donald will announce his deter
mnation to submit amendments if he
sees fit. The industrial insurance COM
mittee has set no date for its next meet
ing, but probably will announce it within
the week.

ATROCIOUS ASSAULT.

Aniello C~olasanto, who conducts a
butcher shop at 246 Oliver street, is on
trial in Part II. Quarter Sessions Court
before Judge Thomas A.. Davis and a
jury ON an Indictment charging him
with atrocious assault and battery
committed on Giovanni Varone. of $50
Adams street, on June 20 last.
An unnamed third party who owed
Calasanto a bill for meat was the
cause of the trouble. Varone told
Calasanto that the party would pay
the bill, and when he failed to do so
Colasanto went to Varone. The pair
had words, and the butcher ran back
to his shop and got a six-inch knife.
With this he inflicted three stab
wounds on the arms and shoulders Of
Varone. none of the cuts being serious.
Mortimer Lowry is looking after the
defense of C~olasanto, with Assistant
Prosecutor Fred r. Lehlbach has
charge of the case for the State.

Doctor Breaks His Skull and
Legs in Seven-story
Plunge.

NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-Dr. William
Marcus, a dentist, rs years old, turned
on the gas to kill himself this morning
and when this failed he broke away
from rescuers, ran to the roof of the
seven-story apartment house at 7SA
Beck street, where he lived, and divei
down the airshaft.
Why he wanted to n his life is a
mystery. He. apparently. was in the
best of spirits last night when he re-
tired, according to his cousin, Jacob
Giblin, with whom he lived.
Giblin was awakened at 4 o'clock this
morning by a strong smell of gas. He
traced 1t to Marcus's room, and found
the door locked. He yelled for help
and a policeman from the M%orrisania
station came in. They broke down the
door and found Marcus unconscious.
While awaiting the arrival of an am
bulance tho policeman revived Marcus
by artificial respiration. He suddenly
leaped to his feet, bowled the police
man and Giblin over and dashed
through the door to the hall.
He ran up from the third floor to
the roof, Giblin and the policeman fol-
lowing. AS Marcus ran across h roof
he gave a wild shrek and dived down
the shaft.
DIR. Brill, who had been called from
Lebanon Hospital to treat the gas case,
arrived before Marcus had been brough

Marcus had a fractured skull n in

BUSINESS"
RAILROAD CRY IS
PROVED FALSE
Profits of $940,076,363 Made
!. Last Fiscal Year Most Profit
able Ever Known.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2~2.-According
to the report of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, just made public,
the railways Of the United States
earned a profit over and above all
operating expenses and exclusive of in
terest upon their funded debts of $940, :
076, 1886 for the fiscal year ended June
30. 1910. This is in excess of the pre-
ceding year of nearly s112, 900, 900. The
report shows further that the actual
operating expenses of the American
railroads for the year was 81, S47, 49,
773.03, or more than double the cost of
the maintenance of the United States
government.
The operating income of the roads
for the same period was So, 1877, 266, 1856. 81,
more than three times the aggregate
income of the United States govern
ment from all sources for the same
period.
Altogether, concludes the commits
sion's report, the yea just past was
one of the most profitable in the his
tory of American r~ailroading.
Yet They Want More.
A stupendous record is now before
the commission in relation to the gen
eral advances in freight rates proposed
by the Eastern and Western carriers.
The tariffs have been suspended till
February l text. Prior to that time
it is expected that the commission will
announce its decision in the general
freight rate cases.
Special reference is made to the work
looking to a uniform classification of
freight. The report indicates that the
carriers are making a sincere effort 10
harmonic the conflictive features OF
the various cl~assifcations, but in the
opinion of the commission it will be
necessary to apply the stimulus of re.
quirement unless satisfactory results
are obtained at an early date.
Since December /, 1909, forty-four in
dictments for criminal violations of the
act to regulate commerce have Deer re-
turned. Forty-three prosecutions have
been concluded since that date. and
thirty-one pleas of guilty were received.
The aggregate of penalties assessed
was 500, 800. Two verdicts of acquittaI
were rendered. OF the forty-four in
dictments returned during the year.
twenty-five were against carriers and
nineteen against shippers or passen-
gers. OF the forty-three prosecutions
concluded. twenty-one were against
carriers and twenty-five against ship
pers or passengers.
