 TO HOLD DAILY SESSIONS

 Sessions Necessary.

Washington, Jan. 28.-with less than thirty working days remaining in the life of the sixty fourth congress- the democratic steering committee of the senate decided today to hold daily sessions of the senate from II o'clock in the morning until 10 o'clock at night, beginning Thursday, February 1.
 Overtime sessions were determined solve the congested legislative situa- tion, the decision being to work as hard and fast as possible on essential appropriations and the revenue bill and to undertake the big general ad- ministration measures one by one as time permits. The general under standing is that the railroad labor bills will be considered as soon as the In dian appropriation bill is out of the committee does not ultimately decided to await action on this matter in the house. In view of the fact that Rep resentative Adamson is preparing to rush a separate measure on the sub ject through the house the senate committee may decide to wait In that case the corrupt practices bill, the min eral land leasing measure may be given a tryout.

By Military Forces Supported by a
 Great Number of Citizens.

San Jose. Costa Rica, Jan. 2S.-The president of Costa Rica, Alfredo Con zalez, was deposed from office by the military forces of the capital, support ed by a great number of citizens, on Saturday. The administrative power was conferred on the minister of war, Federico Tinoco, as provisional chief of the executive. The movement was enthusiastically carried and perfect order prevailed.
 President Gonzalez left his home freely and took refuge in the Ameri- can legation.
 Already the Tinoco government has taken steps to call a convention. the delegates to be elected by the people, which will meet on April l for the election of a president.
 The cause of Gonzalez's deposition is to be found, according to the lead CTS of the movement, in the reelection aims of the president, who, it is al- legged, contrary to the constitution was endeavoring to retains his official position for another term A new system of taxes advocated by Com Zalez was threatened and to this Cos ta Ricans generally were strongly op- posed.

In any event the word has been passed around that the pres ident does not want an extra session and that he probably would not call one even should such desired legisla- tion fail.
 Another obstruction to business which democratic leaders fear is the urgent desire of republican senators to force discussion of President Wilson's peace address as provided for in Sen ator Cummins' resolution for a debate and the Borah reslution to reaffirm the faith of the senate in the Monroe Doc Urine and the principles of Washing ton and Jefferson advising against en- tangling foreign alliances.

Although the season in the Inter collegiata Basketball League has a1- most two months to run the environ, tinge. The Yale team. holding stra- tegic position close to the lead, is made up of veterans, and is playing the strongest, most consistent pail or any of the six teams in the league. It is true that the Eli boys dipped their colors to the Princeton quintet last Tuesday, after a wonderful fight: but even in defeat they showed to great Yale has worked on the plan that the best defence is a whirlwind attack Opposing teams have scored thirty such capable men as Captain Charley Taft playing at one guard and Nal lon at the other T&e aggressive style of play of these stars has offered their rivals chances which were not passed up-to break loose and score.
 To offset those three dozen field goals, however. the Blue has scored so goals in It's own behalf. This count only includes the goals registered in the four league games played up to date.
 Kinney Brightest Star
 Orsen A Kinney is the brightest star in the Blue constellation. He leads his team in scoring and ranks fourth in the league. He has accounted for S9 of the 136 points made by Yale.
 
 through the loop is necromantic. In the game against Columbia he just tossed the leather and it managed to find its way into the cage. He is won derful in his team work, too, and Is prone to perform the unexpected in the psychological moment.
 Olsen, the other forward. is not so spectacular in his work as Kinney; but his play is up to that standard demanded of veteran performers.
 Garfield, grandson of the former president of the United States, is cen tre-and a good centre, too. He has not been alarmingly active in goal shooting, but does his work well.
 Charley Taft. son of another ex- president; and Ma1lon, the guards, complete the roster of the first team. How powerful these men are may be judged from the fact that it has not been necessary to make a single sub stitution in the games played thus far.
