 The stranger managed finally to sell a Crescent avenue residence, a West End residence and the Howard ave- nue hotel for $116. When Garva- cowsy called to take possession he was thrown into the street by employees, his contact with the sidewalk serving to pound into his head the obvious fact that he had been buncoed. The gullible victim admitted afterwards that if he had possessed enough money the stranger probably would have sold him the city of Bridgeport

EXTRA SESSION CALL APPROVED
DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLI.

COME PRESIDENTS
MOVE

Washington, March 9-Leaders of
both parties in Congress greeted with
approval President Wilson's call for
special session on April 16.
In the closing days Of the last ses-
sion there were many expressions in
the Senate and House of the belief
that the President could not do other
wise than issue the call, and the only
doubt that has existed was about the
date of the new session. There has
been feeling evident, particularly in
the Senate and held by Republicans
only to a stronger degree than by
their Democratic colleagues, that Con-
gress should be in Washington when
the President takes any steps further
in the German situation.
The length of the special session
the legislation 1t will enact and the
debates that may mark its progress
may depend largely on three factors

shape of legislation, what results
