WILSON TO CALL
SPECl..l SESSION
Presidsnt-eIset Announces Con-
sress will Convene Not Later
Than April 18th.

New York, Nov: 16.-Governor
Woodrow Wilson announced last
night that Immediately after his
Inauguration as president of the
United States he would call an ex-
traordinary session of congress
to conven not later than April Is
for the purpose of revising the
tariff.
II shall call congress together
in extraordinary session not lat
er than April is. l shall do this
not only because l thing the pled-
ges Of the party ought to be re-
deemed as promptly as possible,
but also bcause l know it to be
in the interest of busines that all
uncertainty as to what the par
ticular items of tariff revision are
to be should be removed as soon
as possible"
Beyond this brief announce
ment the governor said he had
nothing further to say. Most OF
the opinions he had received from
public men seemed to be in favor
of an extra session he said.
The governor did not intend to
express himself about an extra
session so soon after his election.
Although he has favored the idea
of an extra session because the
present arrangement. would not
bring. the new congress into ses-
sion until thirteen. months after
its election, he had: expected to
spend more time in ascertaining
public opinion.
With the time to be consumed
in discussion, the governor felt
that if an extra session were not
called the benefits of tariff revis-
ion would be postponed for two
years. Throughout the campaign
he reiterated that he desired. an
immediate revision of the tariff,
and that democratic leaders knew
perry Ny UeH tfio1 t's2sprocte6 c.
bout it.
The governor. was impressed
with the argument also that with
an early announcement as to an
extra session democratic leaders
in congress could begin to take
counsel at an early date so that
much of the preliminary detail
could be worked out before con-
gress convened on April is.
Though the president-elect
means to rest while i'm Bermuda,
he really expects to give a good
deal of time to quiet thought a.
bout the problems that face him.
He will sketch his annual mes
sage to the New Jersey legisla-
ture, and will do some extensive
reading on data on the tariff, mon
opolies, banking and currency re-
forms and other issues.

Road While Brother oontlnu-
ed Search For Home.

After wandering for hours in a
futile effort to find home, Edith
Connant, a 9-year old girl of
Roosevelt, met a tragic death.
Completely exhausted, she had laid
down on the road to rest, only
to be found dead when reached by
her mother.
The little girl, with her 12-year
old brother, were piling wood
some distance from their home
and remained at work until after
dark. Starting for home they be-
came lost, and after wandering
about for some time the little girl
becoming completely exhausted,
had to lie down. Her brave young
brother covered her with his coat,
and leaving her, continued the
search for their home. Towards
morning his mother, who had
searched in vain for the children
nearly all night, fired gun which
the lad heard and soon arrived at
his home.
Accompanied by his mother,
the lad led the way back to where
the little girl was left and she was
found dead, huddled up and
drenched, as it had been raining.
The mother and son we're near
ly distracted when the lifeless
body of the girl was discovered,
an dwhat made it harder for them
the father was away long dis
tance from home threshing.
The boy, who had wandered
nearly all night, without a coat
was also severely chilled, and his
feet were frost-bitten.

BURkE FAMILY 70 90 SOUTH

state administration the retiring
gubernatorial family will not re-
turn at once to Devils Lake, but
will leave for the south for a. trip
Of several weeks in that section
Of the country. Governor and Mrs.
Burke are ALREADY planning their
contemplated trip and when de-
parting from the executive man.
sion at Bismarck, where they have
resided for the last six years, will
go, south to spend few weeks
among the famous winter resorts
so that the governor may have an
opportunity to rest before resum-
ing his law practice at Devils
Lake. The governors elder daugff
ter, Miss Elizabeth, and his son;
are now iii schooT In st !Pa1I,,
the one in the convent Of the
Visitation and the other a student
at st. Thomas college and they
will not accompany their parents
on their southern trip, but con-
tinue their studies in their res
spective institutions. It has been
rumored that the governor has
been slated for animportant place
in the Wilson cabinet, the MEM
bers of which will take Office on
March 4, next. Governor Burke
himself, it is understood, is not
planning on any, such appoint
ment, but at this time fully ex-
poets to return to his old home
at Devils Lake to resume his law
practice there, Immediately after
q few weeks rest, and he is not
counting on anything in the way
of higher political preferment.
The people of Bismarck will
regret to see the Governor and
Mrs. Burke leave their city. AS
the first lady of the state, Mrs.
Burke has greatly endeared her
self to all the citizens Of the cap
itol during her six years resi-
dence there. She has discharged
the various duties coming within
the range of a governors wife in
a most capable, gracious manner,
which has done much to establish
a high standard for that position.
While she has always been found
devoted to the interests Of her
home and children she has pre-
sided over the social functions in
q way that won the admiration
of all and has always been found
ready. to respond to the demands
which may have been made upon
her in that direction.

THE VGRGiNIAN

One of the most enjoyable theatri- cal events of this season at the Or pneum will be the visit of The Vir- ginian" with George Kelly playing the name part, and an exceptionally weIl-tiaIanced company. In these days ofl problem plays and morally off-colored society drams, this charm ing stage adoption of Owen Wister's s widely read book is doubly welcome. As presented by the La Shelle Vir ginian company, The Virfg,nian" has already proven a most excellent en- tertainment and ever since its initial production has been receiving the at tention it richly deserves at the hands of seekers after better class of dram atic entertainments. It is doubtful if any play produced of late years has been more genuinely successful than The Virginian." George Kelly in the title role has a splendid opportunity for both emotional and comedy scenes of which he takes the fullest advantage; his portrayal of the char acter being one of the best in his brilliant stage career. The Virgin ian" will be sumptuously staged and that the acting company will be most competent, is guaranteed by the La Shelle Virginian company, under whose nagement the play contin' ues to be presented.

SOMETHING NEW SHOWN
 IN CHINATOWN SCENES

Tn these days of daring photogra phers. it would seem from the wide variety of pictures that have been shown in moving picture theaters, that the field of photography had been fully covered. But there are still niches and crannies in the faces cf the old. old world that are not known to the blase theater-goer. One of these is the American Chinatown, American because every large city in the United States has a China town.
 The Lights and Shadows of China. town is a picture that will tS shown today and Monday at the Star thea ter. Lights and shadows are appro- priate terms, for there is no place in the world where there are so many bright lights and shady shadows as in Chinatown. Chinatown is a sp!otch Of oriental civilization, with standing the aggressive civilization Of the east and it is surrounded by a wall Of mysticism that is as impene- trable as the great Chinese wall, and the fact thai American theater-goers are able 10 see Chinatown at close range is a tribute to the daring of the American photographer.
