WASHINGTON, March 2.-The last
vestige of doubt that there will be an
extraordinary session OF congress
called by President Taft to con slider
the Canadian reciprocity agreement
10 the now practically certain event
of the failure of that measure in the
present congress disappeared today
when it became known that republican
leaders had been called to the White
house for a conference.
1.-The die is cast" said one of the
republican senators after returning to
the capitol. "Mr. Taft has decided
that there must be an extra session
and that be will call it earlier than
April T."
Democratic leaders wanted month
in which to get ready for q special
session and President Taft was in.
clined to accede to their wishes. 1t
became known today, however, that
the republicans favored an earlier
gathering If there was no way OF
avoiding coming back.

Will Not Open Grow Reserve.

WASHINGTON, March 2.-The house
by a vote of 146 to 134 failed today to
pass the bill to open l,50O, 900 acres OF
surplus lands in the Crow Indian res
ervatiou in Montana. The bill had
passed the senate.
Opposition to the measure develop
ed on the ground that the opening OF
the additional lands would give few
people chance to gain control OF the
water supply and would operate in
the interests of certain cattlemen in
Montana. Representative Pray OF
Montana declar that the rich cattle.
men, on the contrary, would profit by
the defeat of the bill.
Though it received majority OF
votes, the measure failed because il
did not have the two.thirds necessary
to its passage.

IT WAS NARROW ESCAPE.
Political Trickery Nearly Prevented
Election, Of Senator.


HELENA, March 3.-Henry L. N.Y.
ers. district Judge of the Fourth Judi
cial District was elected United
States sen ator to succeed Thomas 81.
Carter by the unanimous vote of the
democratic m majority in the twelfth as-
sembly at 1925 last evening. His elec'
tion was attained on the twenty
seventh ballot after more than seven
hours Of continuous balloting.
While the votes that elected him
came exclusively from the democrats,
Senator Myers is indebted for his elec'
ton to Ronald Higgins, republican
representative from Missoula county.
He it was who prevented an adjourn
ment sine die of the joint assembly
after the twenty third ballot. The
motion to adjourn sine die was made
by Senator Edwards. On q roll call
vote three democrats, Hayes and
Wheeler of Cascade and Kammerer Of
Madison, voted with the republicans,
and the motion to adjourn had been
carried If Higgins had not switched
his vote from aye to nay.
Henry L. Myers was born In the
state of Missouri forty five years ago.
he came to Montana in 1892 and set.
tied in Hamilton, Ravalli county. He
was elected county attorney of Ravalli
in 1894 and made creditsble record.
In 1898 he was elected state senator
from Ravslli county, and his record
in the stormy SESSIONS which he served
through was an enviable one. In 1907
he was appointed by Governor j. K.
Toole as district Judge OF the Fourth
judicial district to fill the vacancy
created when the Legislature that year
gave that district an additional judge.
In 1908 he went before the people and
was reelected. He is married and
has q wife and daughter.
Sen ator Myers was not present when
be was elected senator. He was not
even in the city. The first that he
knew of his election came when the
friends who sprung his name in the
Joint assembly wired him the news.
