 SENATE CALLED
President Summons Members of Cp- per House In Special Session to Al- ter Rules So as to Prevent Further F'ilibustering.

WASHINGTON, D. C., March G. President Wilson, after viewing the wreck of the Administration program, has called a special session of the Senate to convene today for the purpose of changing the Senate rules to limit debate on measures before that body. and thus prevent filibuster- ing, which has been the cause of the failure of that body to pass necessary legislation, and which must result in the calling of an extra session of Congress at an early date. The Pres ident angrily declared that small group of men in the Senate had rem dered the great government Of the United States helpless and contempti- ble and nothing but the adoption of a closure rule will remedy the situa- tion.

JUNEAU, March 6.-The lower House of the Territorial legislature perfected its organization today. Lu- ther c.

A committee was appointed to draw up resolutions on the death of the late John G. Held, a member-elect of the House, and all adjournment was then taken.
 In the Senate the deadlock still con- tinues, and no permanent president has been selected. Aldrich of Nome and Hubbard of Valdez are tied for the position with four votes each. and with apparently little chance of tine deadlock being broken.
