This Is Date Now Talked Of at
Capitol, and Conference to
Set Time Will be Held
Next Monday
PRESIDENT TAFT IS INSISTENT
Only the Approval Of the Reciprocity
Pact Will ForestaIl the Calling Of
Extra Session--Democrats
Want Time.

Washington, March 2.--Word of an
Informal, but decidedly definite char
acter, that nothing but the approval
by the Senate of the Canadian reci-
procity agreement could avert an ex-
ira session of congress reached the
capitol today Ii was said, on authority
more than credible, and that failing
such action by the Senate a call would
be issued for an extra session by Pres
ident Taft before the adjournment of
the present session.
The Democratic leaders wanted a
month in which to get ready for a spe-
cial session and the president was in
cllned to accede TO their wishes. II
became known today, however. that
the Republicans favored an earlier
gathering IL there was no way to
avoid coming back. Taft would be
guided, it was said, by the wishes of
the Republicans.
II was annouRced n conference will
be held probably Monday. to decide
upon the date. March 20 Is the date
now talked about at the capitol
There was a feeling of confidence
among the friends of the Canadian
agreement that the Democratic house
would pass the bill within week af
ter the convening of the special ses-
sion. There was an impression also
that the Senate would not delay action
more than a month. The leaders of
both sides of the House regard an ex-
ira session as inevitable.

question to be settled at the forth

Despite the fact that the total vote
recorded i'm yesterdays primary cleo
tion to nominate party candidates for
the office of circuit judge was the
lightest in years. the contest was one
of the closest in the history of this
district Not until noon today,
when the returns from outlying
precincts were received. was it posi-
lively known that w. j. Macdonald of
Calumet had received the Republican
nomination over Oscar j. Larson, his
nearest rival. Houghton county gave
MIR. Macdonald a small majority,
whereas returns from Keweenaw and
Baraga favored Mr.. Larson. The race
was nip and tuck throughout and Mr..
Macdonald had a bare majority of 35
votes. other candidates, w. j. CAL
braith, a. Il. Streeter and Joseph
H0m3itzer were left far in the rear.
While lack OF interest yesterday

was manifested by the light vote re-
corded, the situation reversed when
IT became known that the ace was
very close and many sidents
who had thought but little of the cam
Iaign became keenly aroused. 1t may
safely be stated that much larger
vote would be registered if today was
the election day
Friends of Mr.. Larson's do not con-
cede the victory to Mr.. Macdonald so
far and believe that when the votes
are thoroughly canvassed. they will
snow their candidate slight favorite.
II is reported today that there is some
possibility of a recount being asked
for, but Mr.. Larson would make no
definite statement concerning this
report when asked by representative

The outcome of yesterdays election
means the retirement next January of

on this circuit for the past twelve
years. Previous to his election to the

INQUIRY
Will BE FAIR
COMMITTEE TO INVESTIGATE
THE MARQUETTE PENITEN-
TlARY NOT PREJUDIcED
1T is SAID.

Lansing, Mich. Madch 2.-Wartlen
Resell Of Marquette prison is in for
a real investigation this time The
committee selected is far removed
from those who have previously had
anything to do with the prison or the
warden. Those who have been maxi
ing charges against the warden are
not this tir1e on the committee and
even the regular committee appoint
ed by the speaker at the open
ing of the session was not let in on
the job because at least one member
Of it is from Marquette and one other
has had lot Of business with the
warden.
The committee is as far removed as
possible from any prejudice. Chair
man Perry is known i'm the legislature
for his fairness. # is always said that
Perry will look at both sides of a
question, make up his mind as to
which is proper, and then cannot be
moved from his determination. The
other members are all fair men who
have no interest either i'm Russell or
those who have been attacking him.
The committee will employ an ex-
pert stenographer. go to Marquette
and there take all the testimony that
seems best. From the moment 1t was
announced such a committee would
be appointed there have poured in
from all sides all sorts of information
and all sorts of tips as to
where Information, detrimental
usually, can be obtained. "If
we should run down all these tips we
should be at this job the rest of our
lives says Mr. Perry.
One thing will not be taken into
serious consideration. That is the
matter of whipping prisoners who re-
fuse to obey the rules or are danger
should be made torture the committee
would consider that, but a mere
whipping. such as most of the mem
bers of the committee got when chill
dren i'm school, will not be seriously
considered.
"If this committee is going TO make
good on this job" says Representa-
tive Sam O'Dell, 1T doesn't want to
bring us i'm whole lot of rrmors or
testimony OF convicts as to whippings
they have had and probably deserved.
If the committee can find anything
crooked i'm the management of the
prison we want to know 1t and we will
sand by the committee. but IL the
committee finds only a lot of stun
such as has been presented to us be-
fore, in which lot Of bad actors COM
plain of whippings, then ]. for one,
will not vote to condemn the warden"
We won't do it," said Representa-
tive Perry I'VE will make fair in
vestigation and place before the leg
islature only such facts as seem TO be
borne out positively and are worthy
OF consideration"
Thus II is manifest the warden will
get just what he has been demand
ing--a fair and impartial investigation
with exoneration IL the charges are
not proven and removal II they are
