SPECIAL
SESSION
CONGRESS
Instructions Cabled Today
From Paris to Issue the
Formal Call.
INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE

WASHINGTON. May President
Wilson today called an extraordinary
session OF the Goth congress for May
19. Secretary Tu.nulty received cabled
instructions from Paris early today to
issue the formal call.
The date caused a distinct surprise
among congressional circles. 1t was
known that the call would be forthcom-
ing within few days. but May 20 was
the earliest date that was speculated
upon.
The calling OF the session for May
10 means that the president will not be
in Washington TO address a joint ses-
sion on that date. When he left for his
second trip to Paris it was known 10 be
his intention not to call the special ses-
sion until he could be in Washington.
What may have caused him to change
his attitude in this respect was not re-
vealed. The White House today claim
ed to be without any information on
the definite date OF the presidents re-
turn. but it was assumed that he would
remain in Paris until the Germans have
signed the peace treaty.
1t Is believed that the president is
calling a special session for so early
date yielded TO pressure from Secretary
Glass. who for some time has been anxi-
Gus to have appropriation and supply
measures. that failed of passage in the
last congress. got out OF the way. IL
is known that he has been IN communi-
cation with Paris for some time and
that he has urged speedy action neces-
sary to putting the finances Of the coun-
try IN shape.

 CHICAGO, Feb (by Associated Press) The late Colonel Roosevelt's love for athletics is clearly set forth by Robert J. Mooney, formerly asso- ciate publisher of a Chicago news paper.
 q was in Washington August IS, 1904, working on the editorial staff of the New York Tribune during the presidential campaign" said MT. Mooney. A boyhood chum of mine who was in government service asked if I knew President Roosevelt, and if could obtain an interview for him.
 "I replied that I knew William Loeb, the Presidents secretary, and would do my best. I called MT. Loeb on the telephone and he told me to bring my friend to the White House. On arriving there 100 persons were wait ing in line. I sent my card to MT. Loeb, who appeared shortly and beck oned us to come in.
 .'In his private office the President greeted us saying to my friend, who was an amateur boxing and wrestling champion of the District of Columbia:
 ''You are the finest-looking man in boxing togs I ever saw Now tell mellow did you knock out Blank that night saw you at the club?'
 "'Why, MT. President, it was punch like this,' he replied, illustrat- ing the punch in the air.
 "Show it to me! Hit me on the chin as you hit him.
 My friend did it, but. gently.
 "'No, no, that won't do; hit me hard. Hit me the way you hit him!
 sMy friend did. He gave the Presi- dent a sharp punch in the jaw.
 "'That's it, that's it. I've got it now, exclaimed the Colonel, delight edly. Now let me try it on you
 with this, the President hit my friend and sent him reeling.
 "I've sure got it, the Colonel said. I'm going to try it tomorrow on Lodge and Garfield. Won't they squirm?' And the President laughed" laughed"
 MT. Mooney added that President Roosevelt was so enthusiastic over tho lassnn that he immadiatelY pro-
