EXTRA SESSION TALK
ALARMS LAWMAKERS
With Senate Killing Time and House on
Supply Bills Little Progress Is Made.

That President Wilson may be forced
to call an extra session OF Congress
after March 4. is an "even money bet"
With the expiration Of the present
Congress only seven weeks away, and
the Legislative situation practically at a
standstill, political observers say that
the general desire TO get Congress out
of Washington would not prevent an
extra session.
Administration leaders in Congress
said last night that the condition of bust
ness in the House and Senate was so
''muddled" that they were unable to de-
eide what was likely to happen.

Committee m practically deadlock

at that end OF the Capitol. The House
while pounding away at the routine ap-
preparation bills has done little in the
way of general legislation, and the Sem
ate is just about where il wsz when the
session began. The House will continue
its grinding out of supply bills this week,
and will first clear away the Postofrice
appropriation bill now under considera-
ton.

Mother Prefers Loss of His Liberty to
Sensational Trials.

CBy the international News service.)
Philadelphia, Pa. Jan. h-There will
be no more sensational trials of Harry
Kendall Thaw II his mother can prevent
1t. The Thaw family has decided that
even should he be extradited to New
York they will seek to have him incar-
cerated in a sanbariun, rather than have
him go on trial again. They have reach
ed the conclusion that such a course
would be better for Thaw himself.
This decision was announced today by
Frank johnson, one Of Thaws' counsel
after the arrival in Philadelphia of Mrs.
Mary Copley Thaw. 1t was declared by
johnson that Thaw, himself. will be con-
suited and reasoned with just as soon as
he is physically able to take an active
part in the family and legal councils.
Contrary to reports, Gov. Brumbaugh
has not yet signed the papers calling for
the extradition of Thaw. The governor
has not received them. Despite the fact
that Henry ]. Scott, Thaw's newest legal
champion, has announced that he intends
fighting the extradition, the family Is
prepared, in the event OF the failure OF
the fight, to go before the district at
torney in New York and tell him that
they are willing that Thaw be regarded
as a person not wholly responsible for
all his actions all the time.
