EXTRA. SESSION
Vast Amount Of Important
Legislation to be
Taken Up:
ORGANIZATION IS
STILL IN DOUBT
Democrats have Senate, but
Independents Hold Balance
Of Power in the House.

Washington, March 10.-Uncertain-
ty felt about the capitol for the last
week over an early session Of con-
gress was replaced today by the prep
aratton for the special session called
by President Wilson for April 18, five
weeks from Monday, to consider .ap-
preparation bills and. other important
not taken before adjournment Of the
Sixty-fourth congress last Sunday.
Armed Neutrality Bill.
The new body probably will be ask
ed to consider the armed neutrality
bill, specifically authorizing President
Wilson to arm American ships and
appropriating' funds for, the purpose
despite the, presidents decision that
he already has executive power to put
navy guns. gunners and ammunition
aboard merchapt men.
Organization in Doubt.
The organization of the new house
cannot be foretold at this time, for a
majority is 218; and the standing is:
Republican, 216; Democrats PA;
prohibitionists. progressive, progress
ve-prohibitionists, socialists and in
dependents, one each: vacancy in
democratic district, one. Both repub-
licans and democratic leaders declare
they will have support from enough
OF the so-called Independent group to
control the organization, but there is
considerable talk of coalition or
ganization. The new senate is demo-
cratic by q majority Of IL.
Speaker Clark believes congress will
find so much work before It that it
will continue in session until August,
1918.
Appropriation legislation which
must be passed before July include
the army, sundry civil, general de-
ficiency and military academy bills,
carrying in the aggregate more than
$500. 100000. Among the measures
which failed in the last congress,
strongly urged by the administration,
are the railroad labor bill, Webb for
eign selling agency. bill, conservation
and land leasing measures and acts
to enlarge the interstate commerce
commission and give wider powers to
the shipping board.

Berlin, March Q. (via London). Z.
March 10.-The Berlin press is filled
with reviews of the life and achieve
ments of Count Zeppelin, who shared
with Field Marshal Won Hindenburg
the honor of national popularity.
Count Zeppelin's fame. however. was
established when the field marshal
was practically an unknown quantity
and Berlin today recalls the time not
long gone by when airship rides from
Dusseldorf to Berlin by way of Ham
burg and Bremen were luxurious
thrills to be enjoyed at 200 marks a
head.
The papers recall the emperor's
tribute to the count on his 18th birth
day. when he termed him the great
est man of the 20th century"
Count Zeppelin was i'll for less than
two weeks and the immediate cause of
his death was pneumonia.
The massive oak and metal casket
In which he will be buried was sealed
this afternoon and taken to Stuttgart,

SYSTEM REVIVED

Across "Hot Plough

London. March 10.-In an eloquent
ana vigorous speech today in sum-
ming up the case Of tho four prison
ers on trial. charged with conspiring
to murder Lloyd George and Arthur
Henderson, member of the war coun-
ctl. 8. H. RiEa, the Mohammedan
lawyer. who is acting as attorney for
the defendants. startled the court
room by suggesting a trial by ordeal.
He referred to the medieval form of
judicial trial in which, in place of
evidence, supernatural aid is invoked,
aA in a test by fire, water, poison or
other agencies.
Attorney Riza had been endeavor-
ing to impress the jury with the al
legged sinister significance Of the fail
ure OF the crown to produce q GER
tain witness against the four defend
ants. Mrs. Alice wheeldon, her two
daughters and Alfred George Mason,
husband Of one of the daughters.
This person, he said, was the man
who should have been Its principal
witness, namely the mysterious Sc
cret government agent known az
Gordon.
Police Spy Kept Away, He Says.
The attorney declared Gordon waa
whole plot. who had lured the de-
fendants on and, then, when he had
got them we'll within his net had
handed them over to another agent
named Booth so that his own con-
nection with the case would not be

why wasn't 1t possible for Cor
don to come into court and face the

from him." he continued, "the jury
would have drawn very Different
version Of the case. The case rests
wholly on the evidence of Booth,
who moreover was allowed to read
the whole Of his evidence. In the alb
sence OF this mysterious Gordon this

Before the jury commits the de-
