 At the hospital this morning Swee- ney made the statement that Prender- gast, who was on duty as watchman at the screw shop on the west side of Bostw1ck avenue, crossed the street to the main plant for the purpose of ringing some time clocks. Sweeney offered to ring the cIUcks but Pren- dergast refused to allow him to do so, assuming a very surly mood.

Cabinet officers believe the session. will begin in May, some expecting the date to be about the middle of the month, with others suggesting an earlier date, probably May 5. As far as known, none of the cabinet mem bers has specifically recommended and date to the President, but SeCre- tary Glass is understood to have pre- sented certain facts in regard to the governments financial situation from which the President may make hiF own deductions.
 Members of Congress remaining in Washington. particularly the Repub~ licans, hope the session will be called two months before the end of the current fiscal year, next June 30, so that ample opportunity will be given for considering appropriaton bills that failed at the last Congress. Re publican Leader Lodge of the Senate has gent letters to all Republican Sen ators requesting them to record their address of May 15 with his office, but this was said to be without Signtf1- canoe.
 While House officials said today if reports from Paris that the Peace Treaty might be completed next week proved accurate. President Wilson might return home by the middle of April.
