EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS
WILL NOT TACKLE OTHER
PET LEGISLATION

Washington, March 12.-President
Wilson was urged by Representative
Oscar Underwood, the democratic
house leader, today to postpone the
date Of the extra session Of congress-
at least week. AS a result of Mr..
Underwood's suggestion recently, the
president had fixed upon April j. Mr,
Underwood advised the president that
the ways and means committee would
require more time in preparing the
new tariff bills
Inasmuch as Mr. Wilson has said
he would be guided by the counsel Of
house leaders, It was regarded as
practically certain today that the new
congress would not convene before
April Z or s. Mr., Underwood dis
cussed with the president the advis-
ability Of including anything more
than the tariff in his FIRST message to
congress. It was expected that the
proclamation calling the new con-
gress would be submitted to the cab
met today.
The presidents proclamation Is ex-
pected to point out that the extra ses-
sion is called for the purpose OF re-
yislng the tariff alone.

Shukri, who has held out for many

his message that Adrianople is prae-

The commander, who has offered
such a long and gallant defense,
urges that either peace negotiations
be hastened or that an immediate
attempt to relieve the city be under

GOVERNMENT CLAIMS FRAUD

TRYING TO STEAL LANDS :
VALUED AT $1o,ooo,oOo.

Chicago, March 12.-It is just pos
sible that J. Pierpont Morgan may
be called as a witness in the Alaska
coal land fraud cases, which are on
trial here before Judge Lands in the
United States district court.
The possibility Of the issuance OF
ubpoena for the finaneier arose in
court today when John E. Ballaine
Of Seattle, Wash, former president
OF the Alaska Central railway, was
questioned by Attorney Albert Fink
of counsel for Albert G. frost, one
of the five defendants, regarding Nor
gan's relation to a bank which fig
ured in the promotion or the Alaska
Central, and his alleged control Of n
railroad which competes with the
Alaska CentraE
Although Morgan is now abroad.
Judge Landis offered to have sub
poena issued at once for him if the
defense believed that his testimony
would be material.
mot at this time." replied Attor-
ney Fink, unless the government ds~
sires to call Nh. Morgan.
It is said that the defendantss-
Frost, Pierre G. Beach, Frank Watson
George T. BAH and George M. Stewart.
will base a portion Of their defense
on the allegations that Frosfs rail-
road failures were due to. the crush
ing power Of the Morgan interests.
particularly as shown in the competi-
ton Of the Morgan road in Alaska
If this line Of defense develops it is
not unlikely that the governments
may desire Morgans testimony
Ballaine's testimony today showed
that he sold the Alaska Central rail-
way to Frost in 1904. He said that
Frost was aided financially by the
Sovereign Bank Of Canada, now de-
funt, in which, he said, J. P. Morgan
owned a third interest.
The failure of the bank followed
the failure Of Frosts railway promo
tions. Duncan NJ. Stewart, originally
named as one of the defendants in
the land fraud case, but discharged
because the statute Of limitations had
expired, was manager Of the bank
and interested the Institutions fin
ances in behalf Of Frost
The government alleges that the
defendants attempted to defraud It
out of coal lands valued at $4,000 600
and that it was desired to open up
these mines to obtain traffic for the
Frost road Ballaine identified a com
munication written by Frost IN 1905
asking that secrecy be maintained
about the coal lands scheme which
he was promoting.
