face stated in Harrisburg that from
reports he had received he looked fol-
an invasion Of the seventeen.yearold
locust of York, Lancaster, Dauphin
Chester. Montgomery. Bucks. Lebanon

The locusts appeared in this district
seventeen years ago and were also
noticed in 1902 and 1905. but not in
any great number.
The zoologist urges that persons in

was swept over by locusts on their

RECIPROCITY OR
EXTRA SESSION
Taft Issues en- Ulilmatum 10
Congress.
ALSO WARNS DEMOCRATS
Declares At,empt/to Revise Tariff 40
Rider &c Reciprocity Treaty viii BE
Promptly Vetoed

Thu ugh Representative Mccall, ol
Massachusetts. President Taft notifies
congress and the country OF his inten
ton 10 call special session of con
gress IN" the event OF the failure by
the senate 10 vote on the Canadian
reciprocity agreement.
The presidents determination In
this matter is clearly disclosed In q
formal statement given out by the
Massachusetts representative as he
was leaving the White House after a
conference with Mr. Taft. Opponents
OF the reciprocity plan in the senate
have been hoping that the special SEES
sion talk would prove s'oundless. but
the statement knocks the last prop
from under them on this score.
Representative Mccall. obviously
speaking by authority OF the president
not only makes ii clear that congress
will be called back ii the senate falls
to vote on the agreement. but also
serves notice that members who
block action on reciprocity at this SEES
sion will be held responsible for any
business depression or disturbance
that may result from attempted tariff
revision by the Democrats in spe
cial session.
The Mccall statement goes further
Through II President Taft emphasizes
his warning TO the Republican party
that unless they are prepared now to
Weld something in the interest OF q
reasonable policy Of protection an OPP
position will spring up that will wipe
from the statute books the last trace
of protective tariff"
The Mccall statement conveys a
plain intimation tn the Democrats that
President Taft will veto any tariff re-
vision that is not in keeping with his
own theory OF protective principles
This obviously Is intended as warn
Ing to the Democrats that any at
tempt by them 10 tack the reciprocity
treaty to radical tariff revision
measure in special session would be
blocked by executive action when the
measure reaches the White House.
Representative McCal's statement
makes II apparent that MIR. Taft Is not
talking special session by way OF a
threat. The presidents attitude is pre-
cisely as outlined in these dispatches
more than week ago. He feels obi.
gated under the formal agreement
with Canaia to call a special session
In the event of the failure of congress
To act before March 4 next.
The agreement between the two
countries pledges each TO use its tut
most Efforts TO bring about the pas
sage Of the legislation. The president
feels that his power to call an xtra
ordinary session of congress is includ.
ed in this utmost efforts" pledge and
that he Is in honor bound to fill II.
