FIX APRIL 4 TENTATIVELY

Washington, Feb. est is con-
coded that something even more
cataclysmic than the presidents .sug-
gested earthquake will be necessary
to stave Off the threatened extra SEES
sion of congress.
The filibuster in the Lorimer case
killed practically the last hope Of get
ting the reciprocity agreement through
at the present session.
= TAFT Summons Leaders.
President Taft summoned into con-
ference at the White House half a
dozen leaders on the question of
agreeing on a date for the commenc-
ing of the special session. April is
the tentative date fixed. Chairman
Payne of the ways and means com.
mittee, and Representatives Dalzell.
Weeks, Dwight and Gillette talked with
matter over with the president and
were requested to ascertain the senti-
ment of the Republican members Of
the next house on fit date and re-
port at the White House as soon as
possible.
| The president will confer with a
like group of Republican leaders Of
the senate on a date for the assem-
bling of the new congress.
Proclamation Is Ready.
The proclamation is practically
ready and will be issued Immediately
after adjournment on Saturday. The
president has abandoned hope. Even
the senate leaders who have chung
should be averted has now thrown up
their hands. Senator Smoot. coming
from conference with the presi-
dent said: ~
II regard special session OF con-
gress as inevitable now"
Plan Reciprocity Defeat.
! A final effort was made by Smoot,
Root and others to avert the extra
session and the plan involved the de-
feat of the reciprocity agreement.
These senators visited the White
House and asked the. president il It
would be satisfactory to him If he
would abandon the extra session II
a vote was had on reciprocity, even
though that vote defeated the agree,
ment. p. ,.-...
The secret plan was to get enough
senator's. Democrats as we'll as Repub.
licans. who are averse to reciprocity
to vote against the agreement and thus
end the matter. The president in
formed them CURLY that he would not
be satisfied if reciprocity is beaten.
1t wouldn't have mattered anyhow
whether the president had been sat
isfed or not. for while the emissaries
were. at the White House sounding
the president others were busy canvass
ing the senate for votes to beat the
agreement under the plan proposed

self and prevent vote on 1t at this

Senator Hale, meanwhile. had com
plicated matters by letting 1t BIZ
known that he has conceived the
scheme of defeating at this session
both the naval bill and the sundr,
civil appropriation bill. He is opposed
to two battleships and the appropria
