Washington. March 17.-Independ-
ence for the Philippines will be con-
sidered by congress during the special
session which opens on April 7, ac-
cording to Congressman Jones of Vir-
ginia author of a bill to that end.
Jones declared today that President
Wilson is heartily in accord with that
paragraph of the democratic platform
which pedges freedom for the little
brown brother" and will sign bill
if passed by congress.
The senate confirmed wilson's nom-
nations today, except that of Charles
Ne!ll, as commissioner of labor.
Southern senators are bitterly oppos-
ing the confirmation of Neill.
The senate confirmation included
Doorkeeper Burke of North Dakota
who will be treasurer of the United
States.
1t was reliably learned that Joseph
Davies of Wisconsin, has been ten
dered and will accept the post of as
sistant secretary of war.
The special session of congress call
ed by Taft closed at 2:10 this after
noon, when the senate adjourned sine
die.
President Wilson issued his proc
lamation for a special session to con-
vene on April I when 1t is the demo-
cratic program to take up tariff and
other important questions. Wilson's
proclamation is an exact duplicate of
the extra session call issued by Taft
and Mckinley.
The following nominations were
approved by the senate: Registers OF
land offices, Fred Foster and Fletch-
er Appleton of Billings. Montan& re-
ceivers of public moneys, Edward
Mclean. Billings; James Hamilton,
Miles City.
The special session call doesn't
specifically limit the extra session to
a revision of the tariff, thereby en-
abling the president and democratic
leaders to bring up any urgent matter.
President Wilson'S special message
will be sent to congress later. The
revision of the tariff will be consid-
cred and it is also probable that the
matter of currency reform will be
taken up.

COM MISSION BLAMED
FOR PLANS FAILURE

New York, March 17.-Responsi-
bility for the failure of recent plans
for the dissolution of the Union and
the Southern Pacific merger was plac-
ed upon the California railroad COM
mission today by Judge Lovett, chair
man of the Union Pacific's board of
directors.
THE refusal of the California
Board" said Lovett, "to approve GER
tan leases, made it useless to present
the plan to the circuit court at ST.
Louis on Saturday."
Lovett continued: THE present
situation is such that We must start
fresh dissolution plan. and one that
will comply with the supreme courts
decision. AS soon as it is finished
we will submit it to Attorney General
McReynolds and the circuit judges. 4"

ALLEGED OLE0 FRAUDS WILL Be
PROBED BY SPECIAL GRAND JURY

Chicago. March 17.-An open dec
laration that the Taft administration
erred when it affected a settlement
with the manufacturers of oleomar-
garine on the last day in office, was
made today by Federal Judge Lands
in instructing the special grand jury
which convened to probe the alleged
million and a quarter oleo frauds. The
jurors were ordered not only to inves-
tigate charges that the manufacturers
defrauded the government but also to
determine whether certain govern
ment officials were involved in the
conspiracy.
Lands fatty instructed the jurors
to disregard the settlement which the
last administration made with the
manufacturers. He declared II the
manufacturers were guilty of GRIM

inal fraud they could not obtain inn
munity by paying the government any
fixed sum.
Concluding his instructions to the
grand jury, Landis said: You will
inquire whether attorneys, agents or
representatives OF the companies or
the federal officers conspired to de-
fraud the government. You will have
the full power of the court behind
you. II necessary, witnesses may be
summoned from every place in the
country"

sion of the grand jury to probe

ury Masveagh approved OF the COM

Homage 10 Gilchisf

Four years ago when it was an
nounced that Governor Gilchrist
proposed to read his message to
the legislature, there were men in
Florida who were disposed to laugh
at the idea. Gov. Gllchrist stuck
to it and now President Wilson
pays him the sincere homage of
imitation. An old saying is,
Limitation is the sincerest fiat.
terry" We do not like the words,
for they do not do full justice.
Flattery itself conveys the idea OF
at least shade of insincerity. I'm.
itation is more than mere fattery;
it is homage. So we heartily con.
graduate Gov. Gilchrist on re.
ceiving homeage from such dis
tinguished man.
AS for the practice itself, we
have little to say for it or against
it. And the absence of criticism
is endorsement in case the writer
of the message wishes to read it in
person. 1t is his message and we
think he should present it in any
form he wishes.
just little may be said for the
practice as it will be carried ont in
Washington. The house and sem
ate will meet in joint session to
hear the message and that will
drag both bodies out of the rut.
The fact that they will meet in
joint session will be unusual enough
to make the members give atten-
ton to the object of the meeting.
We do not think President Will
sons announcement of a purpose
to read his message should be con-
strued as an attempt to boss con-
gress. He has said and done much
that indicates such a desire but
this one thing is no indication OF it.
The message the president will
read will be confined almost, if not
exclusively to the tariff question,
and we are sure that after he reads
it, he will not sit down and wait
three months until the house and
senate vote on it. He would get
tired, and then he might be need
ed elsewhere.
When Gov. Gilchris announced
his intention to read his message
in person, no one construed it as
desire to boss the legislature;
and, if it was not SO construed in
the case of the originator, it
should not be 40 construed in the
caseof the imitator. Times Union.
At the last session of our state
legislature, Governor Gilchrist
threw precedents to the winds and
read his message to the legislature
instead of sending it in by his Sec
rotary. The former governor was
doubtless much interested to note
that President Wilson followed
the exomple set by him. -Starke
