ANNOUNCES N FAVOR
OF EXTRA SESSION
WILL SUMMON CONGRESS TO
MEET BEFORE MIDDLE OF
APRIL.
REVISION OF TARIFF THE TASK
Makes Statement Before Departing
for Bermuda Where He Goes on Va
cation for Rest, and Thought over
Governmental Problems.

NEW YORK, Nov. 18.-Governor
Woodrow Wilson announced tonight
that Immediately after his Inaugural
ton as president of the United States
he would call an extraordinary ses-
sion of congress to convene not later
than April Is for the purpose of re-
vising the tariff.
The President-elect will sail for
Bermuda at 2 o'clock this afternoon
for vacation and will return Deem
Der 16. To set at rest in the mean
time speculation as to what he would
do with regard to tariff revision, he
issued the following statement:
Il shall call congress together In
extraordinary session not later than
April Is. l shall do this not only be-
cause I think that che pledges OF the
party ought to be redeemed as
promptly as possible, but also be-
cause I know it to be to the interest
of business that all uncertainty as to
what the particular items of tariff
revision are to be should be removed
as 500 mas possible"
Beyond this brief announcement
the governor said he had nothing fur
Their to say. Most of the opinions he
had received from public men SEEM
ed to be In favor Of an extra session,
he declared.
The governor did not intend to ex-
press himself about an extra session
80 soon after his election. Although
he has favored the idea Of an extra
session because the present arrange
ment would not bring the new con-
gress into session until thirteen
months after its election, he had ex-
pected to spend more time In ascer-
tanning public opinion. With the
time to be consumed in discussion the
governor felt that If an extra session
were not called the benefits OF tar1n
revision would be postponed for prac-
tically two years. Throughout the
campaign he reiterated that he ia
vored an immediate revision OF the
tariff and that the democratic leaders
knew perfectly well how to proceed
about 1t.
The governor was impressed by the
argument also that with an early an
nouncement as to an extra session
democratic leaders in congress could

HUGE JUDGEMENT
IS RENDERED AGAINST
B0MDSMEN OF BANK
WESTERN AND ATLANTIC FIRE
INSURANCE COMPANY WINS
LITIGATION.
RESULT OF FAILURE OF BANK
Special Chancellor Flguers Holds
That Evidence Does Not Warrant
Charge OF Fraud and Collision
Upon Part of insurance Officials.

After hearing evidence and argu
ment for the past week Special Chan.
cellor Hardin P. Figuers has handed
down an opinion in the holly litlgat.
ed case of George P. Meadows and
others against the Western and At
lantic Fire Insurance Company, grow
ing out of the failure of the CONNER
cial Bank and Trust Company of NPu-
laski, and which finally sent Cashier
Arrowsmith, Of that institution, to
the state prison for term.
In the decree of the special chan
cellor the defendant company practi-
cally wins upon every contention and
secured a Judgment against the bank
and its bond to indemnify it for about
$4,000, almost the face of the bond
OF indemnity. The chancellor found
that the charge of fraud and collision
made between the bank and the in
surance company were not sustained
by the evidence. The bill in the case
was filed by Meadors and other direc.
tors of the bank and also on the bond
of indemnity given to the insurance
company by the bank. 1t was alleg
ed in the bill that the insurance com
pany held evidences of Indebtedness
against the bank evidenced by Ger.
tificates of deposit to the amount OF
$4,000 and also held the note of the
bank for about $S,4S3, but it was
claimed and alleged that there had
been fraud and collision between the
officers and especially the cashier OF
the bank and the officers of the In
surance company, and that all of the
debt was fraudulent. The bill was
filed to declare the debt fraudulent
and to cancel the bond of indemnity
The insurance company filed an an
swer in which 1t specifically denied
all allegations Of fraud and collision
and filed its cross bill to collect the
full face OF the debt.
In the able, exhaustive and sue.
cinct opinion of Special Chancellor
Figuers it was held that the charges
of fraud and collision were not sus.
tanned by the proof; that on the con.
trary the overwhelming weight of the
evidence was to the effect that the
evidence of Indebtedness held against
the bank by the insurance company
were genuine and bona fide transac-
lions. 1t was adjudged that the in
debtedness of the bank to the insur.
ance company was $27,227.10 Judg-
ment was rendered on the bond
against compliments or cross-defend-
ants for almost the face of the bond
Judgment was also given for costs
and an attorneys fee of $500.
Attorneys Ben Childers, of Pulaski,
and Harry Stokes, of Nashville, rep
resented the insurance company and
Attorney Joe Woodland, of Pulaski, rep
resented the compliments. The case
has been pending in the chancery
court for more than two years and
an immense amount of proof has been
taken

Wilson S Defeat
Overwhelming.

Even the I-told you-sos have been
amazed almost to silence by the mag
nitude of the Wilson defeat, as the
final figures disclose it,
OF course 2437e6 people did tell the
few Doubling Thomases at large in
Georgia that Wilson was going to be
so badly lost in the shuttle that he
never would be dug up again, but pre-
ciOus few believed that it was going to
be as bad as it was,
Even The Atlanta Georgian. which
estimated Underwood's plurality from
1000 to $4,000 al first. and then back
ed off to 10000 eventually had to
admit ii slightly over its own out
side figure given out Wednesday night
at 9: 80 o'clock
The remote country counties coming
In at the last hour some of them not
until this morning showed up practi-
cally solid for Underwood
The farmers of Georgia lined them
selves stoutly and aggressiYely against
Wilson.
1t was shrewdly calculated by the
Wilson people that Mr. Farmer would
not bother to vote in this presidential
campaign to any considerable extent
and he might not have bothered so
much as he did, moreover. if Napoleon
hadn't undertaken to fix it so that the
small counties would be choked to death
by the big city counties in the final
count, no matter what happened
The big city vote, which came in
first of all. shovld Wilson's getaway
bad enough, but better than it ever
was afterward
AS the country vote was reported.
Underwood pulled steadily farther and
farther ahead. AS the very remote
counties We're reported, his ratio of in
crease began to jump tremendously
And the final summing up put Wilson
down and out even more emphatically
than his dearest enemy dared hope in
Georgia when the polls opened on We'd
nesday morning.
Taken all in all. Wilson'S defeat was
one of the most humiiating and COM
plete ever recorded in the state.
