(By Associated Press.)

Rome, April2-A funeral service OF
simple and impressive character was
solemnized over the body of the late
J. Pierpont Morgan today. The
mourners were few in number. Be
sides Mr.. and Mrs. Satterlee, son-.n-
law and daughter of the deceased,

Morgan Expected Death.
Berlin, April 2.-Dr. WilhelmBode,
general director of the Royal Muse
ums of Prussia, in an article published
here, says that the late ]. Pierpont
Morgan expected his death and urged
him CDR Bode) in 1912 to pay a visit
to New York in 1914 for the opening
of the new wing of the Metropolitan
Museum, stating that he himself
would not live to be present.
'Mr. Morgan" says DR., Bode, was
great collector of a highly original
type but he was not an expert. He
realized this,although hit was un-
willing to admit it. In spite of this fact
he was rarely deceived, as he chose
! his agents and advisers we'll
| "He habitually deferred payment
/ for several months in case fraud
should be developed in his transac-
tions. Dealers had such wholesome
fear of losing a good customer that
they did not dare to try to pass of
fraudulent or inferior articles on him,
although this might have been easy.
"Mr Morgan was responsible for
the threefold or fourfold increase in
the price of art objects, but also at the
! same time for the awakening of en-
thusiasm in America for art collect
ing"
DR.. Bode ranks the collections Of
Mr. Morgan with those of the great
est museums of Europe.

EXTRA SESSION
may Be LONG
PRESIDENT WILSON MAY URGE A NUMBER
OF MATTERS OF LEGISLATION WHEN
CONGRESS C0NVENES IN APRIL

Washington, March 24.-Democrats
expressed the view today that the
extra session of congress would be a
prolonged affair.
This was on the assumtiou thai
President Wiison would recommend
| to congress consideration of the cur
rency question as well Is perhaps
other matters of pressing Importance
insofar as their discussion would not
| interfere with the right of way OF
tariff revision.
! The president has indicated within
/ the past day of two that he will urge
other needed legislation when the,
tariff is out of the way. Consideration.
of currency and other questions might
carry the session we'll into the au.
tumn.
Democratic Leader Underwood is
known to believe that the tariff
should be disposed of in the house by
May 1st, and by both houses by July
lst. Speaker Clark last night said
that if only the tariff were taken up
congress could adjourn about the mid
die Of August, while other leaders pre-
dicted that tariff revision would be
ready for the presidential approval by
August 1st.
"If the president should send in a
message recommending action on
other important matters than the
tariff" said Speaker Clark, II have
nc sort of doubt that congress would
take up these matters. A good many
members of the house want to go
right into general legislation A good
many other members believe that the
extra session should be confined to
the tariff In the three special ses-
sions called to revise the tariff in
which | have served, the work was
confined largely to the tariff, barring
such routine matters as naturally
come up"
The big problem with which the
house ways and means committee ma
jority now is wrestling the income
tax, including questions of graduation
OF single tax, and collection. The Will I
son act of 1893. the last Democratic !
tariff, made $4,000 as the minimum i
taxable income, which some of the re- !
visionists argued was really equal to
$4,000 and $4,000 under present living |
cost conditions. Some house leaders, |
while preferrng a straight tax at the /
outset and to have the system develop I
ed gradually would not oppose a con.
servative form of graduation.
Others favor q graduated tax in.

Naco, Ariz., March 24.-After nearly
a week of feinting between Cananea
and Naco, where are located the only
remaining federal garrisons in north
orn Sonora, state troops early today
hurled themselves against Cananea.
Sharp fighting continued throughout
the morning and well into the after
noon. Although the attackers num-
bered about 1000, Colonel Moreno
bravely met the assault with only $50
federal regulars. All Americans of

piaces of safety, most of the foreign

fire with spirit. There was no per

MURDOCH WILL
QUIT OLD GUARD
KANSAS FIGHTER ASSERTS THAT he WILL
REMAIN WITH PROGRESSIVE CAUSE
THIRTY CONGREsSMEN TO JOIN HIM

Washington, D. G., March "a
Representative Victor Murdoch, OF
Kansas, has declared himself ont OF
the Republican party and will be chos-
Ell the Progressive leader in the ne"
house of representatives.
This announcement has Just been
made by Representative Hinebaugh'
Progressive, from Illinois, who has
been in correspondence with the Kan
sas member and has received from
him assurances that hereafter ne
/ will be a member of the Progressive
party.
Murdock's leadership Of the Pro
gressives in the house is a matter
which Mr.. Hinebaugh has taken lp
with the other Progressives and
which has been settled by them.
| They are all for him. The great sig
nifcance and Importance of Muir
docks action is that it is an acknowl-
edgment that there is really no divi-
sion between the Progressives and the
so-called Progressive Republicans,
who have been earnestly fighting spe-
cial privilege and political corrup-
ton.
Murdock was known as a Repubi
can simply because the men who have
called themselves Republicans in
Kansas are chiefly Progressives. In
fnbt ln hac bn
ciples he has advocated there has
been no appreciable difference be
tween Murdoch and the members of
the Progressive party, even to the
support of Theodore Roosevelt as the
Progressive candidate for president.
1t happened. however, because of the
conditions existing in his state that
Murdoch was nominated in the prim-
aries as a Republican and elected up
on the Republican ticket
Some time ago he had announced
that he would not go into the Repub-
lican caucus. 1t now develops that
nonncement of his membership in the
Progressive party,
There is no question here that his
leadership will be forceful and effec /
tive, but what is expected to be of /
more Importance is that it will prob /
ably bring all the Progressives and I
those who call themselves Progress
sive Republicans into immediate al /
lance.
There are few. if any, of the men in |
the house known as Progressive Re
publicans who have the slightest in !
terest in common with the reaction
ary. privilegeserying Republicans of +
the body
MurdOck's announcement of the Re-
publican party and formal alliance
with the Progressive party will prob
ably be but forerunning of similar
declarations by leading Progressive
1t is figured now that
instead of having only 20 men who
will stand together as Progressives in
the house the number will not be less
than 80, and that before the session

NEBULAR THEORYA
OF La PLACE is
GIVEN CREOENCE

Chicago, March 24.-lmportant de
tails of recent discoveries concerning
the nebular hypothesis Of solar sys
tens by DR.. V. ID. Slipster, of the
Lowell observatory, Flagstoff, Ariz
were made known here last night on
the arrival of Professor Pcrcival Low
ell, en- route to New York.
The nebular theory of Laplace,
which in recent years has been some
what discredited in certain asirono-
mical quarters, received strong cor
roboration, according to statement
issued from observations at Flagstaff,
which show that numerous neDClae
shine by reflected light.
Observers at Lowell observatory
have established the fact that the
rebulae consist OF clouds ci stan dust
enveloped in gas.
This is the first step in the evoIu.
ton of a solar SYSTEM Professor
l.owell's statement reads.
1T has been discovered at tina
Lowell observatory by DR.. V. ID. Slip
ster, through spectrascopc observa-
tions, that the nebulae IN the Pleiades
is illuminated by reflected light of the
.tishhoring stars and that this nebu-
iae is is reality cloud OF finely di-
Tided mater, such as the investiga
tions of Sir Norman Lockyef. Sir
George Darwin and Professor Hume
Seeiinger, led them 10 suppose might
exist in space.
THE proof of this consists in the
fact that with the slit of the spectre
graph so placed as to include the star
and the wisps Of nebulae in its neigh
borhood, the resulting spectrogram
shows the spectrum of star sur
rounded by faint continuous spec
