BRAVE GIRL SAVES CHILDREN
COnquerS Man With Pistol in
Chicago.

Chicago.-In struggle Win Ron
ert Braun, in which a girl brayed a
magazine pistol and was beaten about
the face until she was all but un-
conscious, the victim worsted her OPP
ponent and by a remarkable display
of courage probably saved the lives
of four children
The unequal fight occurred in the
parlor of the home of George ElCh-
ner, on East Illinois street, and Miss
Emma Eichner, IS years old, was
The heroine. II began the instant
that Braun, who was nursing fancied
wrongs against Eichner, knocked at
the door early in the evening and
asked to be admitted.
NO" you'd better come around to-
morrow" said the girl.
I'm here now and I'm here to
stay" exclaimed Braun, pulling the
magazine pistol from his pocket and
forcing his way into the hall.
Miss Eichner seized his arms and
with all her strength tried to push
the intruder back. Together they
struggled until reaching the parlor
door. Braun noticed the four chill
dren. Then he leveled his pistol at
the children, who huddled under a
davenport in corner and was about
to fire. But the girl released her
grip on his other arm and, with both
hands, forced the muzzle of the
weapon toward the ceiling as Braun
fired. Unable to bring the pistol in
to play, Braun beat the girl until
blood flowed from half dozen
wounds in her face, but she stubborn
ly clung to him.
Again and again he fired, but to
no purpose. Finally the gun clogged
and while he was examining 1t Miss
Eichner pushed him out of the front
door and closed and locked It. Braun
then rushed TO the tailor shop OF
an acquaintance, Joseph Stumpf, shot
him in the shoulder and in the hand
and was about to fire a third time,
when once more the gun clogged. He
drew another weapon from his pocket
but missed fire. While examining 1t
he shot one of his own fingers Off.
He then abandoned his attack, Wis
tied a doctors Office and was arrest
ed while his injury was being treat
ed. Braun will he held in jail pend

FOR EXTRA SESSION
All Arrangements Made BY
President Taft.
GIVES DEMOCRATS A MONTH.
The lntlmatlon That March 20 Would
Be the Dete Brought Requests
For a Delay From Speak
er-Elect Champ Clark.

Washington, d. C.-Presldent Taft
has made all preparations to call an
extra session of Congress. He Will
certainly issue the call If the Senate
fails to vote on the Canadian reci.
procity agreement. He sees SO little
prospect of securing such action with.
in the next week that he has even
fixed upon the date on which the eX-
traordinary session is to meet. That
date is April 4.
The President called into consid.
GRAFTON the prospective Speaker,
Champ Clark, and the man who will
be chairman of the Committee on
Ways and Means, Oscar Underwood
Of Alabama. They advised a later
date than the middle of March and
asked for respite of a month after
the end of the present session. By
that date the Democrats will have
had time to mature their plans and
will be ready for action. The Presi
dent is inclined to grant them this
favor, and therefore has fixed the
tentative date at April 4. This may
be changed to few days later in
April, If necessity arises; but it is
the date the President now has in
mind.
The Senate leaders see little hope
of bringing the Canadian reciprocity
agreement to vote at this session
Many rumors were circulated OF
moves to remedy the situation, but
apparently they were all without
foundation.
