lightful party Saturday evening in

ready to execute any order that his
successor might choose to issue up
on the basis Of the conditions that
will exist after March 4
These orders on the whole were
supplementary to those which began
to flow from the war department
last week and We're calculated to in
sure the assemblage Of the Second
division of the reorganized army at
or in the neighborhood of Galveston.
The completion of the orders to
move the entire Second division is
intended as further warning to Mex
leo that there will be no departure
from the established ypolicy of pre-
paredness in the remaining week of
President Taft's administration
All plans for the possible sending
of troops into the republic to the
south will continue to be carried
out. This course is justified on the
ground that any cessation in the
closing days or even hours of the
Taft administration might be seized
by Mexican malcontents as an op-
portunity for a strike at Americans
which could not be adequately over
come should officials relax their
vigilance.
Maj. Gen. VIM. H. Carter, who
commands the Second division, was
ordered yesterday from Chicago to
Galveston. This will be the second
time that this officer has had the
honor of commanding complete d.
vision of troops within the limits OF
the state of Texas, the first being in
mobilization of 1911.
The Fifth brigade of this division
already is moving under previous
orders to Galveston, as is the Fourth
Field artillery, composed Of noun
tain batteries.
The order issued yesterday will
set in motion the Fourth brigade,
the Sixth brigade and the Sixth cav
airy. Brig. Gen. Frederick A. Smith
commands the Fifth brigade, pre-
viously ordered to concentrate; Col.
Edwin F. Glenn of the Twenty-third
infantry will command the Fourth
brigade in the illness OF Brig. Gen.
Ramsay D. Potts, and Col. Arthur
Williams of the Eleventh infantry
will command the Sixth brigade in
place of Brig. Gen. Clarence Ed
wards, who is under orders for Phil
ippine service.
The war departments estimate is
that under these orders there will
be concentrated at Galveston be-
tween 5000 and 5000 infantry,
about 500 cavalry and about the
same number of field artillery, or
a total of nearly 10000 men.
In the maneuvers of 1911 1t re-
uuired two weeks time to get some
of the soldiers to Texas, but it is be-
lieved that this period can be cut in
half at present Even then the whole
Second division will almost certain
ly be at Galveston or vicinity some
time before the necessary water
transportation can be provided.

NO CLUE To DARING
GOTHAM CRACKSMEN
Take Fortune In Loot From
PaWnbrOker's Vault.

New York, March 1s.-Not since the
days when Inspector Byrnes cleaned
the city OF the big yeggs and safenlow-
ers and established his famous dead
line has the central detective bureau
faced as big a burglary job as the
$4,000 footing of the steel and brick
vault OF Martin Simons & Co.'S pawn
shop.
That the job, one OF the biggest in
the history of safecracking. was the
work of two master craeksmen was
accepted as a certainty by the police.
The loot was mainly in the shape
of highly valuable jewelry. They left
behind $400. 900 worth OF diamonds
and other jewelry which might have
been taken u there had been mere
than two men In the job.
The robbers had evidently made a
careful study Of the location and con-
struction OF the vault, which stood be-
hind a partition in the tear OF the
shop. The top OF the vault was of
brick reinforced with steel bars. but
the three sides were OF cemented brick
only. two feet thick.
The robbers attacked the vault by
way of the cellar OF the tenement
next door. They shoveled to one side
two tons of coal to get al the par
tition wall between the buildings,
broke their way through with drills
and sledges and cut a trap door in
the floor, just to the side of the vault.
Then brick by brick they broke a two
foot hole in the vaults side. climbed
inside, used their pocket searchlights
and rifled the drawers and strong
hoxas of loot

EXTRA SESSION
CALL is ISSUED
Congress Will Reassemble
on April I.
NOT CONFINED TO TARIFF
Absence Of Specific Reason In ProcIa-
nation Indicates That Other LeqIs-
iation May Be Enacted Before Al
journment Is Taken.

Washington, March 1s.-President
Wilson has issued the formal procla.
nation converting congress in extra
session at noon on April z.
The presidents announcement was
brief and followed form closely. 1t
stated merely that whereas. public
interests require" congress should be
convened In extra session by order OF
che executive.
Originally Mr.. Wilson had fixed
upon April i as the date, Representa-
tive Underwood, the Democratic ma
jority leader, having informed him
that the tariff bills to which 1t was
agreed congress should give immedi-
ate attention would be ready on that
date. Mr.. Underwood found, how
ever, that the ways and means com
mittee would need another week to
draft the tariff schedules and the
proclamation is in Difference TO the
wishes OF Leader Underwood.
Other Legislation Possible.
The absence Of any specific reason
for the calling Of the extra session is
explained by the fact that Mr.. VIII
sons statement Immediately after his
election declared that he would call
an extra session to revise the tarln.
President Wilson plans to point out
specifically his wishes for the extra
session In his first message. In prepa-
ration. This. II is known from talks
the president has had with members
OF congress, will outline the admins
tration's idea of how the tariff should
be revised and just what schedules
should be taken up.
The belief In general Is that the en-.
tire message will be taken up with n
discussion of the tariff, with the ex-
ception 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.
