SPECIAL SESSION OF
CONGRESS BEGINS MAY 10

Washington, May 7.-President Will
son issued call by cable today for
special session of congress to meet
Monday, May 10.
Secretary Tumulty, in making the
announcement, said it would be i'm
possible, of course, for the president
to be here on the opening day. The
day fixed for the special session was
much earlier than democratic leaders
had expected.
White House officials said that in
naming an early date for the session,
President Wilson was guided large
ly by the advice of Secretary Glass as
to the necessity of passing annual ap-
preparation measures which failed in
the closing days Of the last session.
Wilson. Proclamation.
President Wilson, Proclamation cal
ling the extra session follows:
whereas, public interests require
that the congress of the United States
should be convened in extra session
at noon on the 10Th day of May, 1919,
to receive such communication as may
be made by the executives:
"Now, therefore, I, Woodrow Will
son, president of the United States of
America, do hereby proclaim and de-
clare that an extraordinary occasion
requires the congress of the United
States to convene in extra session at
the capitol in the District Of Colum-
bia on the 10th day of May, 1919, at
IL o'clock noon, of which all persons
who shall at that time be entitled to
act as members thereof are hereby
required to take notice.
"Given under my hand and the seal
of the United States of America the
7th day of May, in the year of our
Lord one thousand nine hundred and
nineteen and the independence of the
United States the one hundred and
forty-third.

and alleged that they had discovered
washer that Bussell was using for
the purpose of giving short weights.
The state, however, failed to show
that anyone had been given a short
weight by Bussell and the defendant
was acquitted by the jury who were
out for very few minutes before
they brought in their verdict of not
guilty.
Those serving on the jury were Ot-
to M. Christinson, M. A. Walker, H.
A. Yotter, o. E. Mason, Matt Murray
and Pete Berger.
County Attorney Borton tried the
case for the state and R. S. Nc

who are worthy of being punished.
ut is demanded from us that we
shall confess ourselves to be the only
ones guilty of the war. Such con-
fession in my mouth would be lie.
We are far from declining any respon-
sibility that this great war of the
world has come to pass and that it
was made in the way in which it was
made. The attitude of the former Ger
man government at The Hague peace
conference, its actions and omissions
in the tragic IL days of July have cer-
tainly contributed to the disaster. But
we energetically deny that Germany
and it's people, who were convinced
that they were making a war of de-
fense, were alone guilty.
"Nobody will want to contend that
the disaster took it's course only in
the disastrous moment when the sue
cessor to the throne of Austria-H Hun
gary fell the victim of murderous
hands. In the last so years the i'm
perialism of all the EUROPEAN states
has chronically poisoned the interna-
tional situation. The policy of retail
iation and the policy of expansion and
the disregard of the rights of peoples
to determine their own destiny have
contributed to the illness of Europe
which saw it's crisis in the world war;
Statesmen Lose Power.
Russian mobilization took from the
statesmen the possibility Of healing
and gave the decision into the hands
of the military powers. Public opin-
ion in all countries of our adversar-
les is resounding with the crimes
which Germany is said to have COM
mitted in the war. Here also we are
ready to confess wrong that may have
been done.
eve have not come here to belittle
the responsibility of the men who have
waged a war politically and econom-
ically, or to deny any crimes which
may have been committed against the
rights of peoples. We repeat the dec
laration which has been made in the
German reichstag at the beginning of
the war, that is to say wrong has
been done to Belgium and we are will
ling to repair it.
'But in the manner of making war
also Germany is not the only guilty
one. I do not want to answer by re-
proaches to reproaches, but I ask
them to remember, when repatriation
is demanded, to not forget the armis-
tice. It took us six weeks until we
got it at last, and six more until we
came to know your conditions of peace.
"Crimes in war may not be excus-
able, but they are committed in the
struggle for victory and in the defense
Of national existence."

A grand jury consisting of fifteen
names was drawn in the court room
last Tuesday forenoon and will be CALL
ed to report at 10 a. m. on the MORN
ing of May 9th.
Judge Hurry has requested that the
names of those drawn be withheld
from publication until next week.
Seven of the fifteen called will COM
pose the grand jury and these seven
will be selected by the same proceed
ure that is taken in drawing any jury.
After seven men have qualified to act
as members of the grand jury the
balance will be dismissed from further
service.
The people of Valley county will be
pleased to learn that Judge Hurry
has called grand jury While
grand jury will entail heavy ex-
pense upon the taxpayers of this coun-
ty, nevertheless, the people will be sat
isfied to stand this heavy expense in
order to have the atmosphere cleared.
This county has gained the reputa-
tion throughout the entire state of
shielding criminals of all descriptions,
of pulling off the most unheard-of
election frauds and various other in
human crimes, due to the efforts and
harping of the editor of the Valley
County News, who tried to lead peo-
pie to believe that these conditions
exist.
The power of a grand jury is vast;
they meet in secret session and take
dictations from no one, and all evil
dence brought before them is very
carefully gone over and witnesses are
subpoened at their command. There
fore the editor of the News will have
every opportunity to bring before the
grand jury all of the affidavits that
he claims he has in his possession
showing where crimes and frauds have
been committed and he will have no
trouble in securing justice if his al
| legations can be proven.

that Glasgow did not receive the
