Senator Stone Urges Meeting
So That Democrats Can
"CIear Decks" for Work.
ADVISES THE PRESIDENT
IN AN INTERVIEW TODAY
Regarded as Probable That De.
cision Will Be Reached at White
House Within a Week or Two.

Senator Stone of Missouri today
pushed along the movement for an ex-
ira session of the Senate by advising
President Wilson to call such ses-
sion, SO that the democrats will be able
TO clear the decks" for the important
work of the regular session of Con-
gress.
President Wilson asked Senator Stone
his views as to the advisabillty OF the
proposed extra session, and has the
subject under consideration. 1t is proo-
able that the President Will reach de-
cision within week or ten days, ana
that IL there is an extra SESSION IL
will be called for about October 10

1t was ascertaineu tnat senator Kern,
who also has considered an extra ses-
sion auvIsauie, is now In comihuhica-
ton with the democrats OF the next
Senate. asking for their views.
Senator Stone is CHAIRMAN OF the
Senate committee on foreign relations
and has long been urging his col
leagues to get things IN shape Tor as
position OF the Colon plan and Mica
raguan treaties that nave been pend
ing Ior more than Il year. he is OF
the opinion that the democrats ought

Cloture Issue to Come Up.
Almost everything in sight promises
a prolonged fight, especially should
the administration again put forward
the shipping bill and the measure for
eventual independence of the Phi lip,
pines.
If an extra session of the Senate is
called, however, the real object will
be a fight for revision of the ru es
30 as to bring about cloture. The Presi-
dent has long been in favor OF chang
ing the rules that a majority may
expedite and put through it's program

trant members of the dominant party.

feated.
sideration of pending treaties and other
things, but President Wilson is not
likely to take chances on having the
Senate shooting off, promfscuously
the majority will be able to put through
it's legislative plans.
Extra Session Sentiment Grows.
The outlook for an extra session has
increased in the last few weeks. al
though the President and his advisers
recognize that such session may en-
barrass his foreign policies and furnish
opportunity for rabid and dangerous
possible to check mischievous and ire
sponsible utterances AS opposed to
this danger is the one that unless the
democrats prepare the rules machinery
of the Senate to bring an end to discus
sion after a reasonable time a large
part of the program they may agree
upon will go into the waste heap by the
close of next summer, on the eve of the
Presidential election.
Senator Stone said today that he
favored an extra session to clear the
decks" of executive business and to
adopt new rules for work in the Sem
ate. The bulk of the executive bust
ness is the treaties. These treaties
encountered much opposition within
the democratic party. To those pend
ing at the last session will be added
the next one with Haiti. signed last
week, providing for United States
protectorate over the island republic.
Colombian and Nicaraguan Treaties.
The Colombian treaty has attracted
most attention because of the bitter
storm of disapproval from Col. Roose-
welt, who was chief executive when
the Panama canal territory was Sc
cured through the revolution against
public of Panama. This treaty pro-
vides for the payment of s20.o00,o0o to
Colon bia, Article l making this import
ant concession to the feelings of Co
lumbia:
The government of the United States
of America, wishing to put at rest all
controversies and differences with the
republic of Colombia arising out of the
events from which the present situa-
ton on the Isthmus of Panama result
ed, expresses on it's own part and in
the name of the people of the United
States sincere regret that anything
should have occurred to interrupt or
mar the relations of cordial friendship
that have so long existed between the
two nations"
Nicaragua is to get 100000 for the
rights of that country in the inter-
oceanic canal route that has been talk
ed of for years. for naval base rights
on the Gulf of Fonseca and for two
islands on the east coast of Nicaragua.
The opposition to this treaty is on
the ground that the present govern
ment of Nicaragua does not represent
the people of that country and would
collapse but for the presence Of Ameri
can marines.
1t is also claimed that the treaty ig-
nores the alleged rights of Costa Rioa,
Salvador and Honduras in the canal
route and the Bay of Fonseca.

ton, seizures and detentions, p.ior
to, as we'll as after, the socalied
blockade was instituted, and an
nounced that separate communi.
cation will be sent soon, dealing
particularly with the prosperity and
right of the British government to in
clude in their list of contraband of
war certain articles which have
been so included"

UNITED STATES DEMANDS
PROTECTION FOR NEUTRAL RIGHTS
British Blockade Declared Ineffective and Without
Warrant

Washington, Nov. THE United
States in its latest note to Great
Britain, made public here today.
covering exclusively British inter-
ference with American trade since
the beginning of the European war,
declares that the so-called blockade
Instituted by the allies against
enemy countries on March Ii is
ineffective, illegal and indefensible. /"
Notice is served that the American
government cannot submit to the
curtailment of its neutral rights, y
and it cannot with complacence
suffer subordination of it's rights and
interests
Ambassador Page, to whom the
note was sent by special messenger
for delivery to the London foreign
office, was instructed by Secretary
Lansing to impress most earnest
ly" upon the British government
that the United States insist that
the relations between it and his
majesty's government be governed
not by a policy of expediency, but by
those established rules of interna-
tional conduct to which Great Brit
ain in the past has held the United
States to account when the latter
nation was a belligerent engaged in
a struggle for national existence"
