WASHINGTON, Dec 2.-The third
session of the Sixty-second Congress
began at moon TO-DAY under circum-
stances of unusual interest. 1t came
together after a political upheaval of
far-reaching extent, which will soon
transfer all the executive and Iegisla-
tive branches of the federal govern.
ment to Democratic control.
While the present session is merely
the expiring stage of a Congress soon
to go out of existence and to be su-
perseded in political control and poll
Icy after March 4, yet todays sessions
in the Senate and House bring to-
gether for the first time since the re-
cent overturning those leaders and
elements of the various parties who
have been most prominent in public
affairs. The old faces and figures are
again in evidence today, although
some of them, like ex-Speaker Can
non, will soon pass off the congress
sional stage. while others, like Speaker
Clarke and Chairman Underwood,
have had their tenures renewed and
strengthened.
@A1 q WhOAtp AAONCfC1s llC
note, as both branches of Congress
assemble, is that new conditions, new
policies and new men have been ush-
cred In as a result of the recent cleo
ton, and that about the only function
OF the present short session, lastink
until March 4, is to pass annual sup
ply bills and wind up what remains
of the old regime
In the Senate, Vice-President Sher-
man has been removed by death from
the presiding officers chair, which
will be filled temporarily by Senators
Bacon, of Georgia, and Gallinger, of
New Hampshire, alternating. The
Republican control of the Senate,
with about fifty votes as against the
present Democratic strength of about
AZ. win continue until March. 4, al
fhoilgh this control is conditioned
largely by the presence of two ele-
ments, regular and progressive, in

tors Hepburn, of Idaho, and Rayner.

session closed, but in other aspects

invisibiIity ointments and love
charms George A. Pupausky, a
banker, who specializes IN magic, is

together
This is what Pupausky told Anton

GIRL ON TRIAL ON
SLAY|NG CHARGE
Court Assigns Counsel to Mont
clair Defendant Who Had
No Lawyer.

Miss Marion Price. 17-year-old
negress of Montclair. is on trial in
the Court of General Sessions before
Judge William p Martin on charge
of manslaughter.
The girl, apparently very fright
ened, appeared in court today without
a lawyer, and Judge Martin assigned
George A. Douglass to defend her.
The manslaughter charge arises out
of a row in a Montclair street on July
9 last. On that day 1t is alleged that
a white lad named Barney Mayer
was walking past the house where
Marion Price and number of other
negro children were playing. The
Mayer boy commenced throwing
stones at the group, and when Marion
ordered him to stop he refused to
do so.
Marion was whipping him when
the lads mother, Mrs. Bessie Mayer.
appeared, and, it is alleged, slapped
Marion. The latter is said to have
fought back with both hands and feet
azd finally kicked Mrs Mayer in the
abdomen.
An hour later Mrs. Mayer was
dead from hemorrhage, and it is al
legged by the State that the kick given
her by Marion Price ruptured arte-
ries near the stomach and caused her
death. The case will go to the jury
this afternoon.
