EXTRA SESSION OF
CONGRESS
To Convene Not Later
Than April 18th
Governor Wilson Made Announcement
to That Eject Friday

Governor Wilson announced, Friday,
that Immediately after his Inaugural
ton he would call an extraordinary
session of Congress to convene not
later than April 10, for the purpose of
revising the tariff
The President-elect is to be in Ber-
muda for a vacation and will return,
on Dec. 16. To set at rest in the
meantime speculation as to what he
would do with regard to tariff re-
vision, he issued the following state
ment:
Il shall call Congress together in
extraordinary session not later than
April Is. shall do this not only be-
cause l think that the pledges of the
party ought to be redeemed as prompt
ly as possible, but also because | know
il to be in the interest of business that
all uncertainty as to what the particu-
lar items of tariff revision are to be
should be removed as soon as pos
sible"
Beyond this brief announcement 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 de-
clared. The governor did not intend
to express himself about an extra ses
sion so soon after his election. AL
though he favored the idea because the
present arrangement would not bring
Congress into session until 13 months
after it's election, he had expected to
spend more than that time in collect
ing public opinion. With the time to
be consumed in discussion, the Cover
nor felt if an extra session were not
called, the benefits of tariff revision
would be postponed for practically two
years.

Kern Opens Bitter Attack on
lllinoisan's Right to Seat.
SECOND TRIAL n PROGRESS
Indiana Senator Praises Lorimer's
Personal Reputatlon-Declares tina.
Plea of Res Adjudicata Comes
Too Late to Help Him.

Washington, June 5.-The second
trial of Senator Lorimer of Illinois on
the charge of having been elected by
corrupt methods. was begun in the
senate with speech by Senator Kern
of Indiana, a member of the investi
eating committee who signed the mi
nority report against Lorimer.
Senator Kern gave special atten-
ton to the plea that the case had been
settled by the senate's vindication last
year. That plea, he said, had been
raised only at the last moment He
said he would not admit its validity, it
had come too late and that the plea
itself was res adjudicata.
Reminding the senate that, under the
constitution, it is the Judge of the
qualifications of its own members, Mr..
Kern contended it was competent for
that body to proceed at any time in
any manner involving the integrity of
its membership.
There was" he said. mo sugges-
ton by Senator Lorimer or anyone
on his behalf that the senate had not

in the senate's action. He appeared
In person and by counsel, before the
committees, in the months of investi-
cation, cross-eXamining all witnesses
called by the committee and eXamin-
ing scores of witnesses in his behalf
on every possible phase of the case"
Mr. Il dnplaroI tbot Of no
committee believed that questions be-
ing investigated were res adjudica-
ia" they were strangely reticent in
not mentioning it," while permitting
the continuation Of the investigation
at cost of more than $50 900 He re-
fused to concede that the proceedings
were analogous to a civil action at law,
but argued that if it were the grant
ing of a new trial, even on the sole
ground of newly discovered evidence,
opened the case for a complete rein
vestigation.
1T is now too late for Senator Lori
mer to be permitted to urge this re-
markable Defense" declared Senator
Kern.

investigation had been utterly incom-
plete and had failed to develop facts
which must have been accessible.
Senator Lorimer occupied a seat
near Mr.. Kern. giving careful atten
ton to his arraignment. There were
many visitors in the gallery.
Senator Kern praised the personal
reputation of Mr.. Lorimer, and said
that but for his convictions regarding
the gravity of the charges, he would
not be found engaged in the disagree
able task of prosecutor.
