Attitude of Simmons En- couraging to Those Favor
 ing Early Revision
SPECIAL SESSION
 EXPECTED MARCH 15
House Hearings Have Already Been Arranged and It May Be That the Senate Will Also Conduct
 Hearings Before March 4
Rr (. E. sTEMAnT

Washington, December 21.-tSpeolal.l ii now seems certain that President elect Wilson will follow the advice of Speaker Clark and Mir. Underwood and call the extra session of Congress for March 15, the very same date upon which President Taft summoned the Slxty-frst Congress to the capitol re- sulting in the enactment of the Payne Aldrich law.
 The efforts of the ways and means committee in the House and the finance committee of the Senate will be eX- erted to the fullest degree to have the tarin bills ready for consideration without a moments delay upon the ponvening of the session.
 Speaker Clark has already spoken his mind upon this question to the Presi- hent-elect, as has MT. Underwood. The majority leader and the speaker arc in harmony on the proposition, and it Is believed by their judgment MT. Will son will be guided.
 Hearings have already been arranged. They will commence immediately after the holidays and will last five or six weeks. This will give the ways and means committee about a month be- fore the close of the present session to put it's bills in shape and prepare the first of them q least for introduc- tion and report to the new Congress.
 Altitude of Senate
 Whether the finance committee of the Senate will have hearings before the new Congress is not known They could be held while the House was considering the bills without delay ing final action. This course may be pursued Senator Simmons, who will probably be the democratic chairman of the finance committee, recently said that the pledges of the Baltimore plat form would be carried out, and intf- mated strongly in reply to certain criticisms against some of his votes on the recent House bills, that condi- tions would be quite different next year from those that existed last year and the year before. He predicted that there would be little, if any, difference between the two houses.
 This statement coming from Senator Simmons is very encouraging, for with the very slim majority held by the dem- ocrats in the Senate, the fear has been expressed in some quarters that that body might hamper tariff legislation considerably, especially if it developed that three or four of the so-callod re- nctionary democrats deserted the party programme of tariff revision as passed by the House. If this were to be done, the tariff law resulting would iu the end be a compromise in which Senator LaFollette and the insurgent republi- rans in the Senate would play very prominent part. But with assurances coming from those senators on the democratic side from whom some oppo- stion was expected that they propose to stand squarely on the declarations

BOOK TRUST FIGHT
 IS NEARING END Argument Filed in Supreme Court Asking Injunction
 Against Agreement

Washington December 27.-'rhe final fight against the so-called "book trust opened today in the supreme court of the United States when printed argu- ment. was filed, asking for an injunc- ton against the carrying out of agree ments between publishers and book sell CTS, alleged to control the supply and sale of books.
 The injunction Is sought by R. H. Macy & Co.,, a New York department store firm. Those sought to be enjoined ton, a New York corporation, said to be composed of publishers of about 1S per cent of the books of the country, many of it's members, and the Ameri- can Book Sellers association, an unin- corporated association, said to be com posed of a large majority of all the book sellers throughout the United States.
 The question has been in the New York courts for years. These courts finally held that the injunction should be issued as to uncopyrighted books, but not as to copyrighted ones. The question now presented to the supreme court Is whether the alleged agreements as to copyrighted books are in Violation of the Sherman antitrust law.
 According to the argument or counsel for the petitioner the publishers and book sellers have entered into agreements to maintain the prices of copyrighted books and to cut off the supply of anyone who sells below the prices fixed. It was de clared that some individuals who had supplied the petitioner with books were wholly ruined and driven out of busi- ness.
 The recent ''bathtub" case, decided by the supreme court, was declared to have determined the illegality of the contracts for the maintenance of the prices ol copyrighted books.

WALDONOT SURE OF POLICE OFFICERS He Denies That He Has Withheld the Police
 Records

New York, December 27.-"Are you sure of Becker"
 q am not sure of any one at police headquarters"
 This is the question which former Commissioner of Accounts Fosdick to- day told the aldermanic committee in- vestigating the police department that he asked Police Commissioner Waldo
 early this year, and the answer which be declared MT. Waldo made. Former Police Lieutenant Becker, re- ferred to by Mr. Fosdick, was recently
 convicted of the murder of Herman
 Rosenthal. the gambler. and is now confined in the death house at Sing Sing prison. Becker headed the
 strong arm" squad which raided many gambling houses.
 Commissioner Waldo, who also was witness before the committee, de-
 ined that he had hampered investi- gators who are probing the workings
 of his department by withholding pc lice records from them.
 1 Early in 1912" Fosdick declared in
 his testimony, we began to get a large number of complaints in regard
 to certain police officer. He was in
 charge of a squad. It was said he was ], collecting money from gambling houses and we found it hard to run
 the matter down.
 | q told the police commissioner l had been getting q large number ot
 complaints regarding Lieutenant Beck- CT and that they came in such num-
 bers that we were uneasy about it. We asked him if he was sure or Becker | He said he was not sure of anyone at | headquarters but that under the sys- | tenn by which the men watched each
 other closely and jealously he thought l it would be impossible to carry on such operations I told him l did not be- | lieve it possible to invent a system that human Ingenuity could not defeat"

An English Visitor

This is an old story at the Wash ington Press club, but we have never seen it in print, and the friend who sent it to us hasn't either, so here 1t goes:
 One time an English journalist was visiting in Washington. He had the proverbial British obtuseness when 1t came to getting the point of joke, and the newspaper men at the capital had good deal of fun at his expense. But he was good fellow and when he was leaving the boys, gave him dinner

of the platform and go the full length in meeting the demands of the people who put them in office. the prospects of tariff reform as prepared by MT. Underwood, with possibly a few insig- nifieant changes, are very bright
 May Consider Other Subjects
 Many of the leaders are urging MT. Wilson not to include fhe currency question as one or the things 10 be considered in the extra session. They believe that if the tariff and the trusts are given attention, the Congress w.ll have about all that 1t can properly at tend to. There is some division of opinion, however. upon this subject and it may be that the extra session after passing the tariff law and amend ing the antitrust law may take Up other legislation for which there has been considerable clamor all over the country.
 Developments which follow in the money trust inquiry now being con- ducted by the Puio committee may have bearing upon this question.
 Committee Assignments
 Committee assignments in the House Of Representative made necessary by changes in membership will be consid-
 B. been called for January [, and this cau- GUS will fill some very important places made vacant by certain political changes brought about by the last election. The chairmanship of the committee on foreign affairs, made va cant by the election of Representative Sulzer as governor Of New York. is one of the very important places to be filled, and it is probable that this place will go 10 Representative Flood of Nir- glnia, who is at present acting cnair- man of the committee.
 On the ways and means committee there is now a vacancy caused by the resignation of Senator elect Hughes of New Jersey, and Representative Ans berry of Ohio is said to have been sc lected for this place.
 Of the republican assignments Rep resentatiye Green of Vermont is slated Tor the pensions committee; Represen- tatiye Merritt of New York immtgra- tion and naturalization, and Rep1esen- tative Scott of Iowa for the committee on coinage, weights and measures, and reform in the civil service
 Besides these the caucus will award the chairmanship of the committee on public lands, contest for which is be- tween Representative Ferris of Okla homa and Graham of Illinois. The outgoing chairman is governor-elect Robinson of Arkansas, whose inaugura- ton, like that of governor elect Cox or Ohio, member of the appronria : tions committee, will not take place un- til later in the month.

 The question as to who will be the next postmaster is being discussed but as yet cannot be forecasted The plan as suggested of holding a primary to determine the most popular candidate does not meet the approval of the ap- plicants and such source will not be adopted.
