CALLS EXTRA
 SESSION OF CONGRESS

WASHINGTON, D. C., March 4.-I The end of the Sixty first Congress, needless of one of the most import ant legislative tasks ever set before it. came shortly after noon, today. Within an hour following adjourn ment. the President issued Proela- nation calling for an extra session, to meet at noon, Tuesday, April 4. He will then submit for ratification to the House, which will be over whelmingly Democratic, and the Sen ate, barely Republican, the Can adian reciprocity treaty. The Me Call bill. carrying that agreement in to effect, passed the House, but met in the Senate that death which was SO freely predicted. The President was warned, and if not entirely rec onciled to the fate in store for the measure, was at the Capitol to wit ness the. obsequies.
 The bill was not allowed at any time to come up in the Senate for a moments consideration. The perm auent tariff board bill was forced to passage through the reluctant Sen ate this morning. It was hurried to the House. and there strangled by a Democratic flibuster.
 President Taft. in a room reserved for him in the lobby, heard the news with resignation.
 The new Democratic Ways and Means Committee, which will serve as a Committee on Committees, will meet Monday to take up its duties. A full caucus of the Democratic members of the new House will not be held until April 3rd. In the meantime, plans for the extra session will be developed. There is little doubt now that the Democrats in the House will undertake to revise at least two or three schedules of the Payne tariff act, and there is every reason to believe that the bills will be favorably received by the new Senate, the increased Democratic and Insurgent strength giving majority to the principle of further revision downward.
 When President Taft arrived at the Capitol at 1O:30 o'clock this morning, to sign the last bills rushed through before the closing hours, he found Statehood holding the Senate

The President was appealed to by Sen ate leaders to use use whatever in- fluenee he might have with Senator Owen of Oklahoma The Senator de cIiRed to see the President. He said Arizona must come before the Senate jointly with New Mexico, and have. the .'referendum and reeall'' legis- Iation approved at the same time, or the appropriation bills would be de feated.
 Both filibusteTs accomplished. their immediate purpose. The Senate did not approve the Constitution of New Mexico and the House did not pass the permanent tariff board bill. '
 Statehood Defeated. 7
 WASHINGTON, D. C., March A. The consideration of immediate Statehood for New Mexico and Ari- zona held up the business of the Senate. for two hours today, and threatened to defeat several big ap- propriation bills. The Senate had up for consideration the resolution for mally approving the New Mexico Constitution, while Owen was in sisting that the Arizona Constitu- ton, which only reached Washington yesterday, should be approved at the same time, and neld the floor until the Senate leaders agreed to couple the Arizona Constitution with that of New Mexico.
 After the two by agreement had been coupled, the Senate voted down the resolution. It was asserted later that this does not mean that New Mexico could not be admitted by the action of the President.
 Owen based his fight on the as sumption that the President might disapprove the Arizona Constitution because of the provision providing for the recall of judicial officials. The main vote for the resolution was east by the Democrats, that against by the Republicans, but there were exceptions. Republicans voting in the affirmative were Beveridge, Borah, Bourne, Bristow, Brown, Bur kett, Clapp, Cummins, Dixon, Gronna, Jones, LaFollette, MeCumber and Nixon. Bailey, Overman and Talia- ferro were the Democrats who voted with the majority of Republicans on the negative side.

DISCREPANCY FOUND
 IN ELECTION COUNT
Mistake in Prescott Total Does Not Materially Change Percentage As
 Announced After Canvassl
(From Sundays Daily.)

A discrepancy having been discov- cred between the total vote for Yav- apai county, as published by the Journal Miner on the returns of the Cnostitutional election, and that re- ported by the Canyassing Board at Phoenix, the attention of. the board was called to the matter, and an investigation followed. As a result 1t was fouAd that the total vote in this county should be listed as 2,067, as against the 1922 that had been credited by the Canvassing Board.
 The mistake occurred in setting down the vote for the north pre- cinct of Prescott where the vote was canvassed as 50 for and 47 against. The correct vote in this precinct was 397 for and 145 against.
 In writing to the Journal-Miner concerning the error, which of course no one believes was intentional, See retary George U. Young says:
 "The mistake in the Prescott count was the result of several causes:
 "First-Rushing the count to pre- vent delay of transmission of the official copy of the Constitution by mail. Second, the number of people giving the totals. Third, each eoun- ty within the Territory has a differ ent form of tally sheet. In the tally sheets throughout the Territory, the totals were carried out at the end of the tally marks.
 "In looking over the tally sheet in which the mistake occurred, the tally marks were carried out at the top of the sheet, and the totals writ ten opposite. Whoever read the totals failed to notice the correct totals as given on the bottom of the sheet, in the printed form. and read the upper figures to the tally clerk.
 "The Canvassing Board, of course, regrets the mistake. However, it is gratifed- to know it does not mater tally change the percentage"
 In three other precincts there were some slight changes from the pub ished list, which offset each other. The official vote of each precinct, as corrected. is as follows:

J. 8. DeWOlf Receives $43 90 for
Fruit From Single Orange Tree.

J. S. DeWolf, one of the we'll known
citizens and pioneer settlers OF this
section of the state, was down from
Woodlawn Friday. He has been de-
voting the gre alter part OF his time for
several years past, to the culture OF
citrus fruit and figs. He has fine
orange grove of abouttifteen acres,
which will began to bear next summer.
Aside from this he has few Older
trees of the Louisiana sweet orange
variety which bore splendidly this
past season. From a single one OF
these trees, Mr.. DeWolf sold $4,000
worth of fruit this season. When one
considers how many of these trees
could be grown on an acre, or on
five or ten acre tract and figured at
that rate or even at half or fourth
that rate per tree, it leaves no doubt
as to there being wonderful possibil-
of the state. Mr.. DeWolf also states
that he had single tree, from which
oranges were gathered for home con.
sumption, every day for more than six
months of the past year. TO say thai
!, he is an enthusiastic believer in Orange
culture in this section, is stating it bu
mildly.
Relative to the effect of the recen
heavy freeze upon his trees, he says
J no perceptable damage was done
That while some of the trees were de
foliated and few had the softer twig
nipped, none of them sustained an
serious damage. This is gratifying
as the temperature fell to q lowe
point at this time than has been know
for q number of years before, an
lower than it is probable it will g
again for some years.
