MONDAY MAY BE
THE FATAL DAY
Wall Street Excited Over Pros
pect of Decision in Tobacco
and Oil Cases.
SUPREME COURT MEETS
AFTER USUAL HOLIDAY
Nothing to Indicate That the
Fate Of the Trusts Will Be
Settled Soon.
BY Leased Wire to The Tribune.

WASHINGTON, Feb 1s.-It has
not escaped the notice of observant
people hero that Wall street, or, at any
rate, some Wall street individuals, are
looking forward to Monday, February
20, when the supreme court reconvenes
after three weeks adjournment. as in
somewise a fated day Washington
would not be aware that the occasion
was important but for what it learns
from the New York market gossip and
newspaper correspondence
The adjournment and the reconven.
ing at this time Of year are altogether
routine procedures. Washington has a
notion that the programme is thus or
dered with a view of enabling the
members of the courtp uninterrupted
by formal hearings or by handing down
decisions, to work consecutively on the
very numerous cases which are before
1T. Wall street. which is nothing if not
self-centered, seems to have a notion
that all other business has been pushed
aside for the purpose OF settling the
anti trust law appeal cases, that the
justices are doing nothing else but ex-
and that next Monday, or at any rate,
on Monday soon to follow, the yer,
dict on the oil and tobacco suits will
be announced.
No Excitement in Washington.
Perhaps it will. If it was actually
true. as the country heard in rather
strldent tones year ago, that the
entire business OF the country was sure
to be suspended so long as this par
ticular decision is in doubt. one might
imagine unusual expedition by the
court. But Washington has at no time
created on it's own account the curious
atmosphere which existed last Febru.
ary in New York In regard to the i'm.
pending antitrust law decisions Wash
ington has all along been convinced
that the court was laboriously endeav-
oring TO agree on an application of the
law which would be both sound and
conservative, but that it has not been
moved in the slightest degree by the
outcry of 1910 on the stock exchange

IS THOUGHT LIKELY
Little Chance Of Getting Reel

fore Fourth of March.
OTHER BILLS COME FIRST
Nothing Known as to the Inten-
ton Of President Taft in
Case of Failure.
RY Associated prnss

BY Associated Press
WASHINGTON. Feb. 1S.-An extra
session Of congress looms very large
and probable tonight Unless President
Taft and the friends of the Canadian
reciprocity agreement are able to bring
more than ordinary pressure to bear
on the senate and avert the expendi-
ture of time by the opponents of the
agreement-or its friends-it is difficult
to see how the senate can reach vote
before adjournment.
Ahead of the Canadian agreement
for consideration, in addition to ten
general appropriation bills. are meas
ures affecting these subjects;
Popular election of senator's
Senator Lorimer case.
Permanent tariff board.
General age pensions.
Congressional apportionment.
Fertilization Of Panama canal
Some Measures Must Die.
Not one of these can be sidetracked
without contest. Back of each is a
group of determined senators insistent
that vote shall be taken. Some of
the measures must be left unpassed or
the Canadian agreement will die.
The foregoing is the opinion of Re-
publican leaders of the senate
Those who hoped to avoid an extra
session by getting vote on the Mccall
bill see their chance for success grow
ing less and less as the close of the
session draws nearer without any of
these controverted matters being gotten
out of the way.
With no little anxiety those senators
who fear they are facing q summer ses-
sion are seeking light from the White
house. So far as can be learned, no
senator who has talked with President
Taft has been commissioned to an
nounce positively whether there will
be an extra session in the event the
agreement. But the general opinion
now seems to be there will be an extra
session.
Opinion Of Mr.. Taft.
AS the house passed the Mccall bill
by a decisive vote, and practically all
of the Democrats voted for it, the
president believes n Democratic house
in special session would again pass
the bill without delay. 1t is also said
the president believes the senate, as it
will be constituted after March 4,
would pass the bill.
The senate committee on finance to-
day decided to give hearing on the
Mccall bill on Monday and Tuesday
On Wednesday the bill will be consid.
cred in executive session and the CON
sensus of opinion is that it will be
reported not later than Thursday.
Even though the Mccall bill should
be given to the senate on Thursday,
there is grave doubt as to whether con.
sidcration for it could pe brought
about.
There is no enthusiastic advocate for
the Mccall bill on the Republican side
of the chamber, Should Democrat
come forward as its champion, his eff.
forts probably would prove ineffective,
as his motives would be sure 10 be at.
lacked on the ground that he was seek
ing to embarrass the Republicans.

fore the church board Is the last Off

subject. 1t is understood that the
board will reach Il decision within n
few DAYS. The board is said to be a

of heresy and that this kind of in
struction is detrimental to the faith
