Congress Meets Today
In It's Regular Session
Without Usual Holiday

White House. Real work Of the new
session will be launched Wednesday.
BY special order the senate will then
take up the Hetch Hetchy bill, author
izing San Francisco to secure a new
water supply from the Hetch Hetchy
valley.
Before the house rules committee
Wednesday hearings will be begun on
the question of organizing special
woman suffrage" committee of the
house. The hearings will probably last
three days, with the "antis" given
their innings. The administration cur
rency bill will be taken up by the
senate late this week or early next
week. The senate will vote December
6 on the Hetch Hetchy bill and then
probably take up the currency bill.
Prospects are for passage Of the cur
rency measure within sixty or ninety
days. The Alaskan railroad bill will
come up next Monday in the senate,
but will probably be passed over to
continue currency discussion. Adjourn
ment of congress December 10 until
January for the holidays is planned.
Facing congress this winter is an
unusually heavy schedule. Twelve reg
ular and several special appropriation
bills must be passed. Trust regula-
Il of "a n
law will be taken up first by the house
judiciary committee, whose investiga-
ton has already been authorized. The
Democratic caucus of the house has
also instructed the committee to report
a bill to prevent interlocking director
ates. Movement for congressional in
vestigation of the copper strike at Cal
umet, Mich, and the Colorado coal
strike was renewed today. Reports
from the senate and house lobby in
vestigating committees are expected
soon. Reform of the national banking
| laws, as an adjunct to the currency
bill, also got under way today.
i Other legislation OF minor lmpor-
tance includes control of river floods,
establishing an armor plate factory by
the government, the seamen's labor
bill, the militia pay bill, creation of
special army aviation corps, proposed
impeachment of Federal Judge Speer
of Georgia, negotiations of new
Niagara falls treaty and abandonment
of several navy yards.
Big politics will also be played dur
ing the new sessions, as the test of
congressional elections will be made
next November. Leaders of all parties
today predicted that congress will not
adjourn before next July, or even until
September.

Supreme Court COnvenes
(By United Press Associations)


Washington, Dec. 1.-After a two
weeks recess to prepare batch Of
opinions the United States supreme
court reconvened today. Many impor-
tant decisions were expected today
possibly including the long waited "in-
termountain rate" and the Kentucky
rate cases. Ten important cases are
especially assigned for argument be-
fore the court beginning today. These
were advanced ahead Of the regular
docket call. Among them are the Cal
ifornia fruit shippers icing case, to
determine whether railroads have a
monopoly of refrigerating fruit cars,
and the Kansas gas case, to determine
whether the Kansas public utilities
commission can regulate rates Of pub
lie service corporations whose fran
chises antedate the passage of the
public utilities law. Another impor-
tant case to be presented to the court
this week is an appeal of Yoshiro Max
oyama, Japanese arrested in Colo
RADIO for alleged white slavery. The
case tests the right of the govern
ment to deport alien white slavers aft
er they have resided in this country
three years.

Washington, Dec. with stimuli
taneous taps in the senate and house
of the respective gavels of Vice-Pres-
ident Marshall and Speaker Champ
Clark congress convened on the stroke
of noon today for the regular or "long"
session of congress. 1t faced the most
extensive and important legislative
program in many years. Because con-
gress has been in practically contin-
uous session since the extraordinary
session convened April 10 usual for
mality was lacking from the proceed
ings today. Interest centered upon the
appearance tomorrow of President
Wilson at a joint session of the two
bodies in the house chamber to read
in person his annual opening message
or address. Bustle and excitement OF
past opening days was not missing to-
day, however. Legally, the event
marked the advent of the second ses-
sion of the Sixty-third congress. Prac-
tically the extra session lapsed into
the regular session. Galleries in both
chambers were jammed today. Admis-
sion was generally limited to private
cards of the members. At the house
end of the capitol the return of more
than 800 members who have been alb
sent for weeks supported the appear
ance of a new session. By II o'clock
members thronged the floor, exchang-
ing greetings.
Final preparations for receiving
President Wilson tomorrow were
made. The scramble for cards of ad-
mission for the presidents third per-
sonal appearance, reviving custom
more than century old, was in full
blast. It was certain that the presi-
dent would deal principally in his ad-
dress with necessity for regulation OF
giant corporations. Today practically
the only business transacted by the
senate and house was to appoint COM
mittees to notify each other and an
other to notify the president that the
congress had reassembled. The presi-
Dental committee went at once to the

Atlantic Menhaden Fisheries

1t appears that the season of 1912
was one of the most successful in the
entire history of the menhaden in
dustry, which goes back for about half
century. Every factory on the coast
from Maine to Florida has been WIS.,
tied, and complete data have been
obtained showing the quantity of fish
utilized, the quantity and value of the
oil and fertilizer manufactured there
from, together with the number of
persons employed, the amount OF
money invested, and the number of
vessels engaged in supplying men,
haden to the factories.
The fishery and the industry de-
pendent thereon are most extensive in
Virginia, New York, North Carolina
Delaware and New Jersey, in the or
der named. About $50 vessels were
employed throughout the season in
catching menhaden for 48 factories,
5000 persons made livelihood in tax
ing menhaden and in converting them
into oil and guano, and nearly $8,OOO,-
900 was invested.
The enormous catch of LOCI ,OOO, ,OOO
fish, equivalent to more than 3,OOO,-
900 barrels, or more than 100000 tons,
is credited to this fishery in 1912,
with first value of more than ST.
100000. Of this quantity Virginia
contributed nearly half. The manu-
factured products consisted of $780,

Mop1'isville. Vermont
An Educational Reform

According to the views of writer
upon the subject in recent issue of The
Vermonter, the Peoples Academy at Nor.
risville is making a success of classes in
agriculture for its boys and classes in
domestic science for its girls-and it is
the only high school in the state that
affords its pupils these two important
courses OF study.
If this can be compassed by the Norris
vile school, it can be done also by other
schools; and the wonder is, when one
thinks the matter over. that Vermont
has been so slow tointroduce this method
OF fitting the boys and girls, who cannot
take complete college course, for practi-
cal usefulness in the world
The examples set at Morrisvlle should
be followed by many high school in the
state, in order tina the standards of such
institutions may be saved from weaken
ing and the current criticism Of high
school methods be deprived OF tepable
ground.
1t is worth while Tor high school BOYS
to learn how to tell a good COW when
they see one; to learn what perfection
means In the art of butter-naking to be
trained also along other agricultural
lines. 1t is worth while to know how to
SO mix ingredients as to produce palat-
able and wholesome dish; to know how
TO bake and brew and sew and stew; to
be proficient along the several directions
OF home economies.
Let the Morrisville microbe get in its
work all over the state.-Ludlo W Trib-

Improvements at DreamwOld-
Now SamOSet

| Acting on the suggestion of many pat
rons from Boston and vicinity as well as
some from New York and on account of
a certain prominent place near Boston
being named "Dreamwold," the name of
the cottage colony has been changsdfrom
"Dreamwold" to "Samoset-on-LakeL La
noble"
| The name Samoset seems to be pecu-
liarly appropriate as all the cottages are
named after the Pilgrims and the name
of the Indian who welcomed them at
| Plymouth was Samosat. The new ad-
ministration cottage will be "The Wig
wan" and the old one moved to new
site and practically rebuilt, with all mod
ern Improvements added will be the "Da-
maris Hopkins" after one OF the daughters
of Stephen Hopkins who came with him
on the Mayfower.
Tan bark walks and drives have been
built to every cottage, all the living rooms
are being stained and many trees have
been set out. A club house has been add
ed with the main room twenty by fifty
four feet, hardwood floor, cobble.stone
fireplace, billiard and pool table, etc.
cement wharfis going in to take the
place of the wooden one and the new
dam is under construction. The upper end
OF the lake near the cottages has been
thoroughly cleansed of dead trees and
stumps and bushes removed to give a
view of the falls.
The last cottage was rented last Satur
day to Mr.. Shaw of the Review of Re-
views. Everyone without exception who
has been here this season to look the
place over has not only been enthusiastic
but has rented cottage on the spot.
Through the courtesy of the members
OF the Pastime Club the privileges OF
their club rooms have been extended to
the cottagers.
