Extra Session of Senate
To Consider Nominations

Washington. Feb. "a. - President
Wilson has decided to call an extra
session of the Senate for March to
consider nominations. This was Off
cially announced at the White House.

1t was recently reported that the
President was considering breaking
another precedent by not convening
the Senate for the usual post-inaugur-
al session. The Presidents decision
to have the usual extra session, it is
believed, paves the way for the Gus

DAVIS LAYS DOWN
INSURANCEL
No Connection Permitted Be-
tween Insurance and Building
and Loan Associations 4

Pennsylvania building and loan as
sociations may not insure their share
holders so that unmatured shares of
those who die may at once become full
paid, according to an opinion render
ed to-day to Insurance Commissioner
O'Neil by Deputy Attorney General
Davis, who also holds that life insur-
ance companies can not legally con-
tract under PENNSYLVANIA laws for pay
ment of policy benefits to an associa-
ton formed for a specific purpose.
The opinion exhaustively reviews
the subject and says that building and
loan associations can not have powers
extended beyond. those clearly eX-
pressed. The powers given to these
corporations were never intended to
be utilized as vehicle for high
finance nor for the purpose of permit
ting the exploitation of those whom
they are intended TO serve,' says the
opinion.
Concerning the powers of an insur-
ance company, the opinion says 1T
is quite apparent that, with policy
of insurance on the life of a borrow
ing member as the security upon
which building and loan association
had made its loan, the value of the
security would be dependent entirely
on the borrowing member dying, and
only to that extent would such policy
be security. Building and
loan associations were never intended
as means of securing business for
insurance companies. They are de-
signed along Independent and unre-
lated lines"
Mr.. Davis says that departures
from the old methods of operating
building and loan associations is dis
advantageous to the rank and file of
their members, and are. in most in
stances, the result of those in control
or charge of them endeavoring TO OBJ
tain profits or advantages to them
selves. The joint solicita-
ton of building and loan membership
and insurance, or their obstensible
connection, has been repeatedly con-
demned and prohibited in this State"

NOT PLANNING
TO QUIT. DOCK

No foundation has been found
for rumors which reached Mayor
Faweett last week. to the effect
that Tacoma-Seattle steamers
were planning TO abandon the
Municipal dock, and land here
after at the Commercial dock
wharves.
The mayor was informed that
several OF Tacoma's mosquito
fleet was also preparing to do its
business at the Commercial, in
stead of the Municipal dock.
General Manager Burns of the
Puget Sound Navigation Co. at
Seattle. told a Times reporter Sat-
nrday afternoon that there was
utterly no foundation for such a
rumor.
Our steamers are satisfied
with their deal with the Munich
pal dock in Tacoma. and will con-
tinue to land there" he said.
None Of the owners of small
boats in Tacoma has signified an
intention of abandoning the citys
dock.

WASHINGTON, Feb. g
Austria has sent the United
States a note practically identi-
cal with the German declaration
OF unrestricted sea warfare. but
despite this the administration
is making every effort to get a
change on Austria's part and
avoid a break similar to the
German rupture.
Anxious TO BE Friends,
because of its interest in car.
ing for thousands Of prisoners
this government is anxious to con.
tlnue relations with Austria, il
honorably possible. 1t is trying
to get Austria to relax her posi-
ton.
A Berlin wireless message nick.
ed up at London saying that ne
gotiations were proceeding for a
change in U-boat warfare may re-
fer to the dealings between the
United States and Austria.
Austria, as the result of a COM
munication from the state depart
ment, may be taking the matter
up with the German government
with view to modifying the
whole submarine policy, or al
least withdrawing her own posi-
ton.
Authorities hold that Austria
could withdraw her support of
Germany logically. inasmuch as
Austrian submarines never had
operated to any extent in the
main part of the German barred
area, though the barred zone
would apply to Austrian submar-
ines in the Mediterranean.
Here's Problem for L. s.
Should a break come, how
ever, an interesting problem
would confront the state depart
ment in disposing of Count Tar
nowski. sent over here as ambas-
sador from Austria.
Tarnowski has never rendered
his credentials to President viii
son and hence is not officially
recognized as ambassador. As a
matter of fact. he is nothing more
than a private citizen who has
received unusual recognition
from this country in that he was
declared acceptable to the Unit
ed States as Austria's official
representative.
The ground for sending Tar
nowski home should he by chance
oppose leaving would be a deli
cate problem.

OLYMPIA, Feb. 5.-An
apparent attempt to throw n
damper on the memorial to
the national geographic
board, to change the name of
the mountain, passed by the
house last week, came to light
i'm the lower house today
when five resolutions were in
troduced asking for change
in the name Of other land
marks.
Rep. Renick of King county led
off with a resolution asking that
the name of Mt. Baker be changed
to mt. Bellinghgam" or to the
aboriginal name of Russian. -
1t cited that this mountain was
originally named after Joseph
Baker, an Englishman, and an en-
envy of the United States.
British Baron.
Another resolution asked that
the name of Mt. st. Helens he
changed to mt. Chehalis" or Mt.
Cowlitz," on the ground that it
now bears the name of British
baron.
Still another wanted the Straits
of Juan de Fuca changed to the
Straits of Port Townsend" or
"Chimacum Straits"
Bishop Funny, Too.
Rep. William Bishop, the In
dian representative from jefferson
county, who made the fight on the
mountain memorial, introduced a
measure to change the name of
Hood Canal to Port Gamble Ca
nal or to the aboriginal "Twana
Canal on the ground that the
canal had been named for one
Lord Hood. an enemy of the U. S.
in the revolution.
Rep. Grass of King county was
father of a fifth resolution to
change the name of Puget Sound
to Seattle Sound" or the aborig-
inal "Whulge Sound" claiming
the water was named for Peter
Puget, an Englishman.

the Girls Rescue Home, 2610
South 14th street, will close its

The action is made necessary,
according to Mrs. Rudolph A.

fact that the probation officer
