President Issues Cable Call
From Paris But Will Not
Be Present At Open
ing.
SENATE LEADERS
TO MEET MAY IA
Understood Early Call is
Caused BY Failure of Last
Congress to Make Appro-
priations.

washington, May President Will
son issued a call by cable today for
a special session of congress to meet
Monday, May 10.
Secretary Tumulty, in making the
announcement. said it would be i'm
possible for the president to be here
on the opening day. The date 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 largely
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.
There was no information at the
White House either as to the probable
time of the return of the president
from France or the submission of the
peace treaty to the senate, but some
administration leaders believed the
president had called the extra session
earlier than had been expected in or
der that congress might perfect its or
ganization before the treaty was ready
for consideration.
Republicans of the house virtually
have completed their organization. but
the senate has done no organization
work and this probably will occupy
its attention for the first week or more
of the special session. The house,
however, can be considering the ap-
preparation measures in the meantime.
The supply bills that failed in the last
congress will be introduced anew, but
the secretary of the treasury has de-
cided it will not be necessary for the
government departments to submit
new estimates.
Representative Mondell who will be
republican floor leader at the coming
session announced today that con-
ference of republican house members
would be held on May IT.
Soon after the presidents proclama-
ton was made public Senator Lodge.
the republican leader, after confer
ence with Senator Curtis of Kansas,
republican whip, issued a cali for a
republican conference to be held May
IA for the purpose of perfecting an or
ganization in the senate.
General expectations are that soon
after it meets, the congress will begin
Investigations into any questions and
charges made in connection with the
conduct of the war. Republican lead
ers, however, have announced no con-
clusion as to a general investigation.
The new congress will be faced with
a mass of legislation, immediate ac-
tion on which will be urged by several
government departments. Besides the
seven appropriation bills, ,aggregating
more than $4,000. 100000. which failed
of passage at the last session, the list
of unpassed measures having included
all reconstruction legislation, and bills
defining the imposing policy. general
railroad legislation and dealing with
unemployment, labor and iliteracy
problems.

WELFARE BILL
IS DESIGNED
TO AID POOR
Senator Baker Made Strong
Argument in Favor of
Measure w h c h II a d
Origin in Pensacola.
BY HERBERT FELKEL.

Tallahassee, May Tt was by a
vote of 90 to 6 that the child welfare
bill passed the senate and was sent
houseward. The measure provides for
a levy not to exceed one-fourth of
a mill to be imposed by the county
commissioners to raise funds for wild
owed mothers or other female rela-
tives having in their care children
who might be deprived of education
without such aid. 1t is optional with
the county commissioners as to how
much may be expended for this work
and they will select the families to
be benefited on recommendation of
the boards of public instruction
family receiving aid from the county
must have resided in the state one
wear and the child whose mother is
pensioned is required to attend school
regularly for the entire term. A
child welfare board to supervise this
work throughout the state viii be
operated in connection with the boaRl
of health 1t was pointed out by
friends of the bill that many counties
now maintain poor farms, but that
the placing of a mother in such an
institution takes her away from her
children and is calculated to interfere
with their education and proper train
ing. This bill seeks to aid needy fam
lilies who would not ordinarily ask
for county aid or permit their names
to go on the pauper rolls.
Senator Baker. the introduced of the
measure, told the senators it was a
chance of their lives to vote for
bill that would benefit the poor chill
dren of Florida. You have voted
for higher education and l have al
ways voted with you." he said, NOW
vote for this bill for the poor. orphan
children of the rural districts
When some of the senators objected
to the clause o fthe bill that makes
the tax levy mandatory upon the coun
ty commissioners, Senator Carlton ex-
planned that the measure read. shall
levy not more than one-fourth of
MILL and he thought any levy less
than that would be permissible.

The many Pensacola friends of At
torney General Van C. Swearingen,
of Florida, are manifesting great
deal of interest in his coming visit here
on next Friday evening.
Mr.. Swearingen will address the
Masonic fraternity at the Masonic
Temple at 7:30 o'clock, he having been
invited to Pensacola for that purpose.
Since it become known several days
ago that Mr.. Swearingen would come
to Pensacola on the invitation of local
Masons, a number of his political
friends. including local union labor
leaders, have been endeavoring to ar
range melting for him at one of the
local halls to take place after the ses-
sion at the Masonic Temple, but so
far it is understood that he has not
been definitely heard from concerning
such "a meeting.
More than usual interest centers in
Mr.. Swearingen's visit here at this
time in view of the fact that he is ex-
pected at an early date to formally an
nounce his candidacy for governor.
