President Taft issued a call for
special session of the congress to
meet April to consider Canadian

as Grover Cleveland had a Republi-
can House and a Democratic senate.
Three Mistakes.
The Congress, which ended Satur-
day committed three mistakes, ac-
cording to the view of many Repuh-
licans. One was the vindication Of
William Lorimer's right to a seat as
a Senator from Illinois. The second
was it's failure to rebuke Richard
A. Ballinger, secretary Of the Inter.
ior, and the third the failure Of the
Senate to pass the resolution submit
ting a constitutional amendment pro,
viding for the election of Senators
by direct vote.

non-support. When the state called
Mrs. Wise, the complaining Witness,
to the stand Attorney w. S. Glass, for
the defense, made a vigorous protest
against allowing the witness to tese.
tify, arguing that wife cannot tes.,
tify against her husband in a criminal
action without the consent of her
husband. Several decisions were
cited in defense of the position taken
by the attorney, whe occupied most
of the forenoon in his contention
against the witness testifying. 8
States Attorney Mark Sheafe, Jr,
contended that the privilege claimed
did not relate to the kind of action
in question and the motion Of the de-
fense was overruled.
The trial consumed the day before
it went to the jury. AT midnight
the jury came in with a decision Ct
guilty as charged in the complaint
and asking for clemency of the court
in the matter. Sentence will be pro-
nounced Saturday morning at 40
O'Clock.
This is the first case in this city se
come under the new statute in case
of non-support which was passed in

was no provision for criminal ac-
| tion in such cases. The only provis,
| ion made was in the case of par
ent's non-support OF a child, but un-
der the new statute it brought the
case of husband and wife under the
same provisions. The new statute
makes non-support misdemeanor.
/ The penalty, where not otherwise pre-
scribed, is one year Imprisonment or
a fine of $500, or by both fine and
Imprisonment. @ .5

This organization includes in Its
membership representative firms and
business houses to the number Of
about 100 and nearly all of the mem
bers were present, taking part in
the discussions and evidencing III
many ways their hearty cooperation
in the movement.
In a previous note of the forma4
ton of this association it was erron-
eously stated that the sole purpose
was the adjustment of difficulties
arising from the extension Of credit
by the merchants Of Watertown. AS
a, matter of fact the problems arising
from credits and collections were a
minor consideration in the formation
!of this organization.
The real purpose which this move
ment is designed to effect Is the un-
flying Of all the retail interests oi
Watertown in a concerted and sys.
tematic effort to extend the trade
territory of Watertown.
Merchants in the various lines Of
trade will cooperate in offering bet.
| ter values, choosing more attractive
styles, lettering their methods OF
merchandising with view of draw
| ing trade from points which have in
the past been considered as beyond
| the limits of our tradeterritory.
| In many of the best cities of the
country these associations have beer
of tremendous benefit to their mem
4 bership and to the entire community
by stimulating business in genera
and promoting the growth of the cit
les where they have organized.
The elimination of fake and graf
advertising is one of the many ben
4 efits that will result from this move
ment, and by the correction of othe,
4 mistakes in the conduct ofbusinesl
and the elimination Of waste result
i ing from trade abuses 1t is confldentl,
expected that the cost CT merchan
dising can be lessened to an exten
4 that will permit Of price saving
which will benefit the individual buy
er.s and help the city generally by at
), tracing trade that now seeks othe
Ichannels.
John Morey was chosen as tht
permanent secretary of the assocta
tion and will devote his time who'll.
to the work OF this organization whic;
will have an Office on the second foo
of the Granite block.
