Taft Sets The Date For
 Reciprocity Session

Washington, February 25.--So proba- ble is it that an extra session of Con gress will be necessary in order to get action on the Canadian reciprocity agreement that President Taft has fixed April as the date on which such a session may be called,
 The April date was selected after consultation with Champ Clark, who will be speaker of the next House and Representative Underwood of Alabama, who will be chairman of the ways and means committee, which will have charge of and report the reciprocity bill in the House
 The Presideri had inten, q to con vene the extra session al tn ce Her date, but Representative Clark and tn- derwood told him they would like to have d months time after the present Congress adjourns in which to map out the democratic plans for the next ses- sion.
 There will be no change in the situa- tion in the Senate today regarding the Canadian reciprocity agreement and the leaders see no hope of bringing to a vote at this session the Mccall bill to carry the bill into effect.
 Many rumors were circulated of moves to remedy the situation, but ap- parently they were all without founda- tion The most persistent of all was one that Senator Aldrich, famed Tor winning legislative battles which his colleagues thought lost, was speeding to Washington at the urgent solicitation of the President, to take charge or the situation in the Senate.
 The Aldrich rumor apparently was distortion of a telegram which the sen ator sent from Jekyl Island. Ga, where he has been for several weeks in search of health, saying that if he were here

The Day in Congress

Washington, February 25.-Upon the conclusion of the routine business of the Senate today Mir. McCumber spoke on Canadian reciprocity, opposing the Mccall bill When MT. McCnmber con cluded the Lorimer case, the unfinished business of the body was brought up
 The vice president had gone to tho length of putting the Lorimer resolu- ton before the Senate for a vote, no senator being prepared to speak but Chairman Burrows of the committed on privileges and elections. yielded to the protestations of the opponents of Mir. Lorimer who yesterday desired to be heard, and the case went over.
 The eulogies upon the two late mem bers of the House of Representatives were pronounced. Adjournment fol- lowed.
 In the House the day was devoted to consideration of the District of Colum- bla and the sundry civil bill. The ses-, sion extended into the night on thf latter, discussion of the proposition fortfy the Panama canal consum much time.

| he would vote for the Canadian agree | ment. The telegram was to one of the | Senate leaders asking that pair be ar ranged for him in favor of the Mccall | bill if 1t comes to a vote this session. The fact that such d telegram was re- | ceiyed was whispered about the Senate and created some surprise as many stand pat senators had believed Senator Aldrich, | like Senator Hale of Maine, would oppose | the reciprocal arrangement.
 | Many correspondents sent reports to | their papers, some saying that Senator l Aldrich would be in Washington on Mon- | day and others that he left Brunswick 1 Ga. early today and would reach here Sunday Jekyl Island, where MT. Adrch l has been sojourning, Is isolated, so far as
 communication Is concerned, and teie- 1 fore. jn the absence of contradictions of tiie story, it gained currency. It is not i believed by any of Senator Aldrich's im-
 mediate friends In the Senate, nor at tho White House.
 | As a matter of fact, no one believes | that the coming of Senator Aldrich would
 alter the situation in respect to the Mc- | Call bill. The measure is opposed oy
 Senators Cummins. Bristow and Clapp
 and many other insurgent republicans. | The arrival of MT. Aldrich and any at | tempt by him to force the consideration
 of the bill upon the Senate would be like shaking red rag in the face of bull.
 It would serve, according to the con census of opinion in the Senate, only to | intensity the insurgents fight against the
 measure. Not only that, but his friend ship for the bill unquestionaby would | alenate some of his best friends like Sen
 ators Hale McCumber, Shoot and others
 who aided in framing the Payne-Aldrich
 tariff bil but who are opposed to the | Canadian agreement.
 | Senator McCumber spoke against the bill today, passing his argument on the disastrous effect which he said its enact
 ment would have upon the farming in- l dustry.

Taft Sends Tariff
Facts and Figures
Asked by Senate
Mr.. Cummins Seeks to Show Things
Farmers Must Buy Were Not Con-
sidered in Agreement.
WASHINGTON. March 1.-Pr,

WASHINGTON, March president
. Afts response to resolution introduced
she senate by Mr. Cummins OF Iowa.
Ag for data gathered by the tariff
Joard in respect TO articles covered by
the Canadian reciprocity agreement and
many articles which the agreement does
not include, was read in the senate today.
The answer probably will prove unsatis-
factory to the Iowa senator unless Il was
his purpose to show by statement from the
board that there has been insufficient in
formation gathered to proceed intelllgently
with a tariff discussion Of the articles
named
The inquiry by the Cummins resolution
embraced pulp wood, wood pulp, paper,
wool, wooden thread, cloth and clothing,
cotton thread. cloth and clothing. carpets,
boots and shoes iron ore. pig iron and
manufactured iron and steel agricultural
implements, coal, meats, flour and lumber.
The president transmitted the informa-
tion concerning such articles as are in
cluded by the Canadian agreement lie
said In his communication:
II transmit herewith a report from the
tariff board giving the Information in its
possession relating to pulp wood, pulp and
news print paper and farm products lin
Guiding live stock and current relative
prices in Canada and the United states,
Of wheat, barley and food products of the
farm, including meats, poultry and eggs
dairy products and vegetables.
The tariff board reports that its infor-
nation with reference to the following
articles, especially mentioned, iron ore, pig
iron and manufactured articles of iron and
steel. agricultural implements. coal and
lumber is not available for transmission"
Specifying the other arucles named the
president said inform2tion concerning them
was not included because they were not
embraced in the bill under consideration
and because the material in the possession
OF the tariff board was not in condition
for immediate transmission.
The evident purpose of Mi. Cummtns was
to show that the tariff board did not take
into consideration articles which farmers
must buy in making an agreement, which
opponents Of the Mccall bill insist affect
only such articles as the farmer has to
sell.
