WILL GALL EXTRA
SESSION MARCH IS
Republican Leaders Called to White
House For Conference in Regard
to Special Session.
By Associated Press.

Washington, D. c., Mar. 3.-Eleven
days after congress adjourns tomor-
row it probably will be called together
in extra session. March Is was the
date given at the White House as the
time, which in all probability Taft
would select. Practically all hope has
been abandoned by the administration
of getting reciprocity through before
congress adjourns.
From administration circles today
comes the universal statement that an
extra session of congress is inevitable.
unless the senate before noon tomor-
row adopts the pending bill providing
for reciprocity with Canada. The SEN
ate met at ten o'clock with about
twenty members present, after the
late session last night. The sundry
civil bill was the first matter taken
up. Senator Stone gave notice that
upon the completion of this bill he
would move to take up the Mccall
bill to carry into effect the Canadian
reciprocity agreement
The senate shortly afternoon pass
ed the sundry civil bill also the naval
appropriation bill. Next the post office
appropriation bill was taken up. The
magazine postage increase
element of this bill died when Sena-
tor Penrose announced the abandon
ment Of that feature.

Washington, D. c., Mar. 3.-The last
vestige of doubt that there will be an
extraordinary session of congress call
| ed by President Taft to consider the
Canadian reciprocity agreement in the
now practically certain event of the
failure of that measure in the present
congress, disappeared Thursday, when
1t became known that republican lead.
ers had been called to the White House
for conference.
"The die is cast" said one Of the
republican senators after returning to
the capitol "Mr Taft has decided
there must be an extra session, if the
reciprocity bill is not passed, and that
he will call it earlier than April A."
Democratic leaders wanted a month
in which to get ready for a special ses-
sion, and President Taft was inclined
to accede to their wishes. 1t became
known Thursday, however, that the re-
publicans favored an earlier gather
ing if there was no way to avoid COM
ing back.
Mr. Taft will probably be. guided by
the wishes of the republicans. 1t was
announced that conference would be
held on the subject probably Monday
to deicde upon a date. March 90 is
suggested as the probable date.
There was feeling of confidence
among friends of the Canadian agree
ment that the democratic house would
pass the bill within a week after the
convening of the special session.
There was an impression also that the
senate would not delay action for more
than a month This theory was based
on the argument that the republican
senate would expedite business so as
to be ready to adjourn before the dem
ocratic house could submit a general
programme for tariff revision, and the
hope that under such a condition of
affairs the democrats would be willing
70 postpone their tariff revision plans
lntii next winter, when they would be
better prepared to proceed.

MARYLAND REPUBLICAN
Goldsborough Elected Governor by
About 5000 Plurality.

Baltimore, Md, Nov. 8. Returns
from Baltimore city and the state on
the election indicate that for the sec
ond time since the Civil War Maryland
has elected a Republican governor.
With Baltimore city practically
complete and based on returns from
the counties, the indications are that
Goldsborough will have about 5000
plurality.
1t also appeared practically certain
that Edgar Allan Poe, Democrat, for
the states attorney general, and En-
erson C. Harrington, Democrat, for
comptroller, have been elected
Judge Henry Stockbridge, Republi-
can, was reelected to the state court
of appeals.
All three of the Democratic candi-
dates for judges of the supreme bench
of Baltimore were elected.
The constitutional amendment, pro-
viding for the disfranchisement of the
colored man appears to be decisively
defeated The probabilities are that
the legislature in both it's branches
will continue to be controlled by the
Democrats.
In Baltimore, where a bitter fight
was waged against Democratic city
organization leaders by the Republi-
cans and a considerable element OF
the Independent Democrats. the Re-
publicans elected the sheriff with
good prospects of carrying several of
the other city Offices. Thomas f. Nc
Nulty, who ran as an independent can
didate for sheriff, seems to have divid-
ed the Democratic vote with his Dem
ocratic opponent, j Albert Hughes,
enabling Theodore Weis, Republican,
to win by a good plurality.

HITCH IN CHURCH FUSION
Reformed Synod Sets Aside Resolution
Favorinq Union With Presbyterians.

Favoring Union With Presbyterians.
Philadelphia, Nov. There will be
no union of the Reformed Church in
America and the Presbyterian church
for at least year, it Is believed.
The conference of the eastern synod
of the Reformed church, now being
held in this city, set aside the resolu
ton in favor of a merger which had
been presented by a committee OF
nine.
The motion to table the resolution
was made by Rev. H. II. Rupp, OF
Reading, who asked that the subject
be referred to the Chassis. of which
there are twelve in the eastern synod.
Mr.. Rupp's motion caused much dis.
cussion, and the president, Rev. Paul
l.. Leinbach, called for vote.
1t was impossible in the confusion
to ascertain the number of votes for
and against the motion, and the presi.
dent asked for standing vote which
proved a tie. Mr.. Leinbach then de-
cided to allow the report to be set
aside, so that thorough investigation
could be made and the details thrash.
ed out by the Chassis.
The committee of nine was appoint
ed last week to consider the merging
of the denominations.
The merger has already been favor
ably acted upon by the general synod
of the Reformed church at it's meeting
in Canton, O., last May but each OF
the six synods will also have to take
favorable action. The Presbyterian
general assembly voted for the union
at its session in Atlantic City last
May.
The eastern synod. which is the
largest of the six, has 10000 com
municants, but nevertheless the synod
members fear absorption when as a
smaller body they are united with a
larger one.
Rev. G. s. Creitz. of Reading, who as
chairman of the committee, who acted
as spokesman, recommended an effec.
tive cooperation of the Reformed
church with the Presbyterian church
at this time rather than an organic
union of the two denominations.

POTHIER Is REELECTED
Rhode Island Governor Wins by In.
creased Plurality.

Providence, r. l., Nov. 8.-The Re-
publieans are victorious by pluralities
considerably larger than those Of a
year ago. Governor Pothier has made
net gains of several hundred over
Louis A. Waterman, his Democratic
opponent, as compared with the fig
ures of year ago.
The rest of the Republican ticket is
elected by pluralities running into the
thousands.
In the general assembly the Repub-
lican gains have been most notable.
The issue of the campaign in Rhode
Island has been an appeal to the So
called registry voter, the Democratic
party platform promising the aboli-
ton of the property qualification,
which now prevents the registry voter
from casting ballot for city council
man and other officers. The Demo
Gratis also opposed a proposed consti-

OK. TOBACCO PLAN
u. 5. Court Approves Trust
Dissolution Scheme.
fIW-YfAR CLUB" REFUSED
Attorney Generals Request That
Government Have Right to In
tervene Within Five Years
is Denied.

New York, Nov 3. The United
States circuit court for the southern
district of New York approved the
plan submitted by the American To
bacco company and other defendants
for the dsintegration OF the tobacco
trust. incontormity with the decree Of
the United States supreme court.
The approval was with notifications
growing out OF the recent argument
before the court in which Attorney
General Wickersham insisted, among
other things, that the court maintain
Jurisdiction for five years, so that II
the plan did not result in the estab-
lishment OF genuine competition, the
government could come into the court
at any time to ask for additional re
lief.
The court, in its decision says that
provision should be made in carrying
out the plan for keeping intact the
books and records of the American
Tobacco company, and it's present
constituents and branches, so that
they shall be available and subject to
explanation to the same extent as al
present, in suits for accounting and
other existing litigation.
Judge Coke, in his opinion, says
Il approve the proposed plan, not be-
cause think 1t is perfect, but because
it is the best plan obtainable."
Judge Moves says: Il concur in the
opinion of Judge Lacombe and fully
approve his disposition of the subject
now considered in this opinion"
Judge Lacombe says in his opinion
that the twenty-nine individual de-
PENDANTS in this suit shall not in
crease their control over any of the
corporations now in the combination
for period of three years.
He also says that the court has no
power to grant the request that the
United Cigar Stores company stock
be sold and distributed.
Judge Lacombe says further that,
while the filing of the disintegration
plan is correctly described as a pro
posed plan of the American Tobacco
company, since that corporation and
other defendants offer to carry it out,
1t should be remembered that in its
present form the plan is the fruit of
much discussion.
He adds that the objections of At
torney General Wickersham were fol-
lowed by notifications in the plan,
and some of its most drastic proyis-
ions were inserted to meet or avoid
his criticism.
The court denied the request of the
attorney general that the case be held
open to the extent that the govern
ment might intervent at any time
within five years, provided the dis
solved trust did not properly carry out
the wishes of the court.
