WITHOUT MEANING
TO VIOLATE LAWS

Trustees of New Garden, Clay and
Green townships have unwittingly
been violating the law This is also
true of many other township trustees
in the state. On request of the state
board of education, attorney general
Honan of Indianapolis, gave it as his
opinion that the elementary schools
of township had to be run as long
as the commissioned high schools
were. In the above three townships
the grade schools were closed month
or SO before the high schools. Ac-
cordingly, in order to rectify the mat
ter, the state board with the indorse-
ment of the county superintendent of
the state, have introduced a bill in
the lower house. known as No. SIC, to
legalize the operation of schools in
townships as they have been in the
past. The school officials feel that
the high school should be operated
for longer periods in the year than
the common schools.

AN EXTRA SESSION
OF CONGRESS SURE
Canadian Treaty and Other
Important Matters Are
Requiring Action.
american News service)

Washington. Feb. 20.-Both Sena-
tors and congressman are preparing
for an extra session. They expect it
to convene about March Is and many
OF them are making preparations to
hurry to their homes Immediately at
ter the present session ends and pre-
Washington.
The first authoritative announce
ment that President Taft will cali an
extra session if the senate fails to act
on the Mccall bill, carrying into eff
feet the Canadian reciprocity agree
ments, has cCme from Mr.. Mccall
himself. following an interview with
the president at the White House. Ac-
cording to McCall's announcement.
the president feels that he is under
an international obligation to summon
an extra session, if it be necessary. to
secure action on the reciprocity agree
ment.
1t Came Too alts.
Nnlle III Is the purposes i the spfesi-
dent in permitting the announcement
of Mr.. Mccall to avoid an extra ses-
sion by inducing Senators to act upon
the agreement, it is the opinion of
many about the capitol that in all
probabilities the statement has come
too late
With appropriation bills in badly
contested condition, with the Lorimer
case pending, with the permanent tar
if board bill pressing for considera-
tion, with the general service pen
sion bill being urged by many senators
and with the resolutions of senators
coming up daily as the unfinished bus
mess, the chances for action upon the
Canadian reciprocity agreement are
slight. OF course, however, conditions
may change.
Opponents Of the reciprocity agree
ment are viewing with complacency
the contested conditions existing in
that body.
The house bills are such that a vote
of reciprocity can be avoided easily
without the appearance Of filibus-
ter. The bill carrying the agreement
into effect will probably not be reach
cd before Thursday at the earliest. AT
that time there will remain only sew
en- and half legislative days Of the
present session.

IN STREET CASE
No Matter What Jury's Yer

Regarded Probable.

The hearing of the South n street
controversy between the South Side
Improvement association and the c.
& 0. of Indiana railroad was resumed
in the circuit court Monday morning
at 1890 o'clock with yardmaster Clev-
enger on the stand and under cross
examination by attorney p. J. Free
man. The attempt was made to bring
out that the yard master thought
the present yards were sufficient for
ordinary purposes and would be able
to accommodate all freights as soon
as the additional two tracks were laid.
He however, did not commit himself
definitely, sparring with the attorneys
over one question and another, for
getting some of the testimony which
he was alleged to have given on di-
rect examination on Friday, and hav-
ing to study over other matters about
which he was asked.
The railroad company expected to
have all its evidence in by evening
and then the evidence in rebuttal will
be introduced. This will not require
more than half day. it is believed,
as little attempt will be made to re-
flute the testimony of expert wit
nesse. The arguments probably will
begin on Tuesday with counsel for the
South Side Improvement association

that the jury will be given the case on
Wednesday. Whatever decision the
jury makes, it is probable an appeal
