Lefty Merritt

Howard Merritt, who has been
pitching ball during the summer,
returned home Monday night.
Lefty" as he is known in base
ball circles, has climbed the lad
der several rungs since he began
to play professional ball and
closed the season with much cred
it to his skill as a pitcher. In
closing the season with Knox
vile of the Appalachian league.
he had an opportunity of mixing
with high class players and the
six weeks spent with that league
afforded him an opportunity of
showing his metal.
LEFTY MERRITT
From a semi-pro pitcher in
Mississippi to- prospective men,
her of the New York Giants is
the rapid rise experienced in six
months by one Lefty" Merritt,
a young pitcher who received a
brief trial with the Memphis club
last spring.
After pitching him in several
games, Manager Bernhard ad-
judged the juvenile as being too
green for Class A pastiming, and
shunted him to the Cotton States
League, where Merritt acquitted
himself creditably.
When the Cotton States
League closed its campaign Mer-
rift joined the Knoxville club of
the Appalachian League, where
he wound up his first year as a
professional by defeating the At
lanta (Southern League) champi-
ons in one game and holding
them to a A II inning draw in
another contest. Yesterday he
became a New York Giant by
means of draft.

FAMOUS CHIEF Of
PARIS POLICE QUITS
Served 20 Years and is Known
Everywhere.

Louis Loplne. the head Of the Paris
police for twenty years, resigned his
office.
He has been often called the most
famous chief OF police In the world,
and has figured in hundreds OF cele'
brated cases His name has been
made almost household word
through its use by novelists and dra.
matists.
Lepine is sixty-seven years old, a
veteran OF the Franco.German war
and u former governor Of Algeria
Contrary to the generally accepted
principle that criminals can best be
kept under surveillance and appre-
hended by secret methods. Lepine
went on the theory that publicity In
hunting them down was an essential
factor.
He was without fear in the perform
ance OF his duties, hard worker ant
confessed to particular liking foi
coming the usually dry facts con
tanned in police reports.
He knew the character OF his coun
trymen thoroughly. and whenever the
mobs IN Paris, excited by political or
other causes and reinforced by the
anarchistic drcgs of the capital, en-.
gagged In pitched battles with the po-
lice. NJ. l.epine was In the forefront
with his men-a picturesque little fig
ure in citizens dress. with his gray
goatee and an umbrella-his only
means OF defense.
Several times he escaped death by
a narrow margin. but such is the Gal
lie temperament that he was hero
with the very classes vino opposed
law and order.
Virtually every monarch or head OF
a state In Europe knew NJ. Lepine
personally. for he Was presen; al their
arrivals and departures from the
French capital and he took sole re-
sponsiblity for their safety during
their sojourn Ia Paris

Questions to Be Left For Regular
Session.
President Wilson issued the forma
proclamation convening the Sixty.
third congress In extraordinary ses
sion at noon April Z.
The presidents pronouncement was
brief and followed form closely. IL
reads:
Whereas, public interests require
that the congress of the United States
should be convened in extra session
at IL o'clock noon on the 7th day oi
April, 1913. TO receive such communf
cation as may be made by the execu'
tive:
Now, therefore, |, Woodrow VIII
son. president OF the United States OF
America. do hereby proclaim and de
clare that an extraordinary occasion
requires the congress Of the United
States to convene in extra session al
the capitol in the city OF Washington
on the 7th day of April. 1913. al IL
shall at that time be entitled to act as
members thereof are hereby required
to take notice.
Given under my hand and seal OF
the United States of America, the l1th
OF March In the year OF Our Lord 1919
and OF the independence Of the Unit.
ed States the 18th.
WOODROW WILSON.
by the President
WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN.
Secretary of State"
Originally Mr.. Wilson had fixed
upon April ! as the date. Represents
tive Underwood, the Democratic house
leader, having informed him that the
tariff bills, to which IL was agreed
congress should give immediate at
tention, would be ready on that date.
Mr.. Underwood found that the ways
and means committee would need an.
other week 10 draft the tariff sched
ules. and the proclamation is in def.
erence 10 the wishes OF Mr.. Under
wood and other house leaders.
The absence of any specific reason
for the calling of the extra session Is
explained by the fact that Mr.. vii.
sons statement Immediately after his
election declared that he would cal
an extra session to revise the tariff.
President Wilson plans to point out
specifically his wishes for the extrs
session in his first message. which ne
now Is preparing. This, 1t is known
from talks the president has had wi J.
members Of congress, will outline tbs
administration idea of how the tar q
should be revised and just what scac
ules should be taken up.
The belief is general that the entire
message will be taken up with a DIS
cussion OF the tariff with the excep
tion OF the last paragraph or two
which will draw attention to the need
of currency legislation at the earliest
possible moment and will indicate the
purpose OF the president to send later
a special message on that or other
subjects. which he believes should be
taken up by the new congress.
II is understood at the White House
that the presidents first message will
request that currency reform. the indie
pendence of the Philippines and other
important interests be left for the reg
ular session OF congress in December.
