EXTRA SESSION,
ECALLED, WILL
BECALLED SOON
Such Is Talk About StatehOuse
in Connection With Col
gate Deal.

With tho active fight for the speaker
ship Of the Indiana House Of Representa-
tives under way speculation concerning
the proposed special session OF the Leg
islature for the purpose Of STRENGTHENING
out the reformatOry removal tangle was
growing today. If such a session is
called it will meet before long. That
every possible effort Will be made to limit
it to one or two days is now taken for
granted
The session talk comes from what is
understood to be a request of Colgate
& Co, which has agreed to purchase the
refOrmatory, and asks for quick posses
sion. 1t is being pointed out by persons
interested in the session that If this is the
case there can be no reason for delaying
the session if such is to be called.
FORM OF BILL
UNCERTAIN.
The form that the reformatory bill will
take is one of the principal subjects of
discussion. The original bill, which was
enacted into law at the 1921 session,
provided for an appropriation of only
100000 for the construction of the new
institution. 1t is generally agreed that
this Is not sufficient. The suggestion is
now being made that the money paid for
the reformatory by the Colgate people be
added to the original $30000O appropria-
ton.
The speakership fight has been brought
about by the death of Speaker John f.
Mcclure last Sunday. If he had lived
Mr.. Mcclure would have been the Speak
er in the special session. AS 1t is, a new
Speaker must be elected and it is taken
for granted that he will be the Speaker
at the 1923 regular session.
POSSIBILITIES
DISCUSSED.
While a number Of possibilities are be
ing discussed, the field of candidates
seems to be limiting itself to two, Jacob
d. Miltenberger of Muncle and Claude a.
Smith of Princeton. Mr.. Miltenberger
was defeated by a narrow margin at the
last session after Governor McCray had
expressed his preference for Mr.. Mcclure.
Mr.. Miltenberger was n caller at the
Governors office today. He said that his
call was merely a friendly visit. When
asked If the announcement that he is an
active candidate for the speakership was
true he said he Imagined" so.
Mr.. Smith was indorsed by many Re-
publican members at the last regular
session.

JITNEY DRIVER
GOES TO JAIL
John Overly Defaults Bond of
$500.

For an alleged second violation of the
jitney ordinance within two days John
Overly, $40 South Delaware street, was
placed in Jail today in default of bond
of $500. 1t has been the policy of po-
lice authorities to release alleged offend
ers on their own recognizance on first
arrest, but to place them under bond in
case they are arrested a second time.
Other arrests for the same offense
were: Isadore Goldband, 1901 South
Illinois street; Burbeff Francis, 521 South
Alabama street, and Chris Minzenread, so
South Mount street.
All cases have been continued in city
court until Dec. 2.

Huys' 'ShOOt
to- KiIL' Order
is Challenged
Wisconsin Raises Issue After
Marine Stays Man Steal
ina q Ride.

MADISON, Wis, Nov 26.-Wiscon-
sin came to the front today as the
first State to challenge the right of
Postmaster General Will II. Hays to
place United States Marines on mail
trains with orders to "shOot to kill"
whenever unauthorized travellers are
found on board the trains.
Governor John J. Blaine, 1t became
known, has requested Postmaster Cen
eral Hays to take Marine guards off
mail trains and has served requisi-
tion on Secretary Of Navy Edwin Den
by to produce in court Marcus NJ.
Hansen, a Marine, who shot and
killed Otto Lambrecht near Green
Bay, Sunday when Lambrecht at
tempted to steal ride on train.
At the instigation of Governor
Blaine, District Attorney Young of
Green Bay has produced a warrant
for the arrest of Hansen. The Ma
rine, it Is understood here, has been
recalled to the Great Lakes Naval
Station and Naval Officers there have
refused the request Of the Green Bay
authorities that they be permitted
to arrest him. They also denied the
privilege of questioning him, accord
ing to word received here.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-There IS
no probability of the postmaster
general Withdrawing marines from
guard duty on mail trains, 1t was
stated officially at the Postcffice De-
partment today.
The protest Of Governor Blaine OF
Wisconsin against the use Of marines
was received by Postmaster Hays be-
fore his departure for New York and
he ordered postal inspectors in Wis
consin to make an investigation OF
the shooting Of Otto Lambrecht by
marine when he attempted TO steal
ride on a train.
The PostOffice Department an
nounced that careful consideration
had been given to the order placing
marines on mail trains before 1t was
Issued and that there is no dis
position to withdraw it. The depart
ment holds that mail car Is Govern
ment property and the Government
may use drastic measures to protect
it.
In the absence OF Secretary DENLY,
officials Of the Navy Department said
they could not predict whether the
secretary would comply with the re-
quest Of Governor Blaine to deliver
the marine who shot Lambrecht in
court. 1t was stated, however that
marines were under orders to shoot
to Kill" and that If Lamhrecht at
tempted to board mail car and the
marine on guard had shot not to kill,
that he would have been liable to
courtmartial.

SCENES
SET FOR TRIAL
OF GOV. SMALL
Case Goes to Trial Dec. 5
With Opponents
Eager.
DEFENSE SAYS NO BILL

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Nov. 26.-Final
preparations to meet the issues raised
in the indictment of Governor Len
Small alleging embezzlement OF huge
sums of money while he was State
Treasurer, were being made by the Op-
posing legal staffs today.
Motions In the case will be heard by
Judge Claire c. Edwards In the Lake
County Circuit Court at Waukegan on
Monday, Dec. 5, as previously agreed
upon between the court and attorneys
for both sides.
The defense VIII enter a motion to
duash the Indictment returned by the
Sangamon County grand jury several
weeks ago. Specifications filed by coun-
sci for the Governor here last night
with states Attorney c. Fred Mortimer Of
Sangamon County set forth that each
and every indictment and every count
contained in them will be attacked IN
most sweeping manner"
DEFENSE
PREPARES.
The defense makes four specific
charges
l. That the indictments, even If taken
on their face value, charge the Governor
with no crime and no offense whatsoever
against the State Of Illinois.
.. That from everything the State has
ever set up there Is no charge OF law
violation lodged against the defendant
3. That in practically all the indict-
ments 1t is not even alleged that the
Governor ever received any money be
longing to the State.
+ That the special return" Of the
grand jury, fled with the indictments and
"explanation" as to why the grand
5rr oil IN
be n review OF evidence" was absolutely
In violation Of the constitution and stat
utes OF the State, intended only to create
an unfair and unwarranted prejudice
against the Governor throughout the
State and renders the indictments Illegal
and void.
EVIDENCE
FAULTY.
other points which the Governors
counsel viii attempt TO establish are that
the Indictments fail to set forth any date
when the defendant IS alleged to have
unlawfulIy received any moneys or prop
erty, nor IS any amount set forth therein; ;
that they fail to charge or name any
occasion when the defendant failed to
fully account for all moneys entrusted
to his care; that the grand jury was
unlawfully selected and organized and
that there was no true bill' returned
as required by law.
States Attorney c. Fred Mortimer, who
called the grand jury which indicted the
Governor. Lieutenant Governor Fred r.
Sterling and Vernon A. Curtis. a Grant
Park banker, and who will head the
prosecutors staff at Waukegan, gave out
the following brief statement: This of
fee has nothing 70 say at this time with
relation to the motions. The issues pre-
sented viii be argued In the Circuit Court
Of Lake County as now set on Dec. O."
Attorneys for the Governor contend that
their motions to quash the indictment
are not made for the purpose Of delaying
actual trial OF the case should the court
hold against them and order the case to
20 to trial. They insist that no man,
whatever his position in life. should be
forced to 20 to trial on indictments re-
turned under such conditions"

BRAND Talk
Gives Chance
to Germany
Harding Authorized to InUite
TeutORS to TABLE, to
ARSICer France.
Rr j. W. 7. MASON.

France has opened the way to inviting
Germany to the Washington conference.
There is no other method whereby the
United States can examine into the spirit
of discord that is threatening EIrope
with a revival of militarism.
Premier BRAND defends the mainte-
nance Of a huge standing army on the
ground that Germany is threatening
Frances existence. - BRAND also begs
for American assistance and declares
that France would reduce her military
force If assured that Germany will re-
spect the peace. The logical result Of
Brands position is for America to ask
Germany to send a delegation to the dis
armament conference.
WILL FRANCE
OBJECT?
France is likely to object to this course
as showing much consideration for the
Germans and as an indication that Bri-
and's word is doubted.
But the invitations to the conference are
in President Harding's sole power to is
sue. This is Americas party.
It is not possible to find out tie truth
of the Franco German situation except by
hearing Germany's side Of the case and
by making comparisons. No harm can
come to anybody by asking the Germans
in. Great benefit may accrue to France
and to the world at large. 1t is the
general impression outside Of France
that the French fears Of Germany are not
founded on realities. If the Washington
conference can make that clear to France
by an examination of German delegates it
may mark the turning point in the
worlds recovery.
RUSSIA
ALSO FEARED.
France also fears Russia. 1t would do
no damage to ask the Moscow govern
ment likewise to send representatives to
the Washington conference. The entire
world is interested in hearing what the
Germany and Russia viii have to be re-
admitted into international competition.
The sooner that is done the quicker the
world Will know where it stands.-Writ-
ten for the United Press.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26-France will
interpose no objections IL the United
States wants to invite Germany to be
represented at the conference here, it was
stated officially today at French head
quarters.
1t was made clear, however by spOkes-
men for the French delegation that it Is
not apparent what good purposes could
be served by Germany's representation.
IF America wishes to invite Germany,
however. and believes it will help the
conference, there will be no opposition
from US" said an official spokesman.

NEW YoRK COTTON
By Associated Press lew York. November 26.-Cotton closed
NEW ORLEANS COTTON

New Orleans, November 26.-The circulation of a few December no- tices caused a wave of liquidation in the cotton market today, which put prices down almost from the open ing. Not more than 10 notices ap- peared, calling for the tender of 1000 bales of cotton, and several firms had orders to stop all the no- tices that came their way. but, in spite of this, the notices apparently found traders who were not willing to take up cotton, and. once started, the liquidation went to rather sur prising lengths. December led in the selling movement. and at it's lowest trading down to 16.65c. At this level the active months were 26 to 50 points under the close of yesterday. The close was at net losses on the day of 2s to 45 points with December at 16.70c.
 The market was irregular and nervous in the early trading, and after losing to 14 points came back rather sharply to advances over yes terday's close of to points on the most active months. This advance was only momentary. the price soon selling under the liquidation from the long side. To many traders the liqui- dation appeared natural and logical as the heavy and prolonged buying of the early session of the week. The May position displayed more resist ance to the pressure than any month on the boards, which made it appear that longs liquidating in the near months were taking a new stand in the more distant months.

Public In Too Big q Hurry to Buy Past
 Week, Say Wires
S. R. STEWART & CO.'S LETTER

Birmingham, November 26.-Whiie the cotton market weakened about S5 points further today under the in- fluence of bearish cables from Liver pool, renewed uneasiness over Euro pean politics end the circulation d December notices, nothing was ap- parent to warrant the belief that the downward trend would be main tained. The break today was credited to southern selling led by New Or leans, weekend liquidation and also some western selling, presumably from Chicago, while the buying was scattered. There was no particu- lar news.
 A Manchester cable stated a mill with 630, spindles closed down for the week and hereafter will resume e on five-day week schedule. The Irish outlook was critical. The ar mament conference news from Wash irgton was mixed A New York wire stated the sentiment there which turned reactionary yesterday morn ing on the weak Liverpool is still the same with predictions of lower Liver pool Monday. The markets action yesterday and today appears noth ing more than natural reaction and after the liquidation Is over 1t will settle itself and will pay purchasers we'll who take on cotton at these levels.-S.

MORE LIQUIDATION
 IN COTTON MARKET IN DAYS TURNOVER
Staple Went to Good Loss, With Close easy at a Net
 Decline of 25 to 37 Points
By Associated Press

New York. November 26.-There was renewed liquidation in the cotton market today and a further decline ,of little over $1 50 per bale in prices. January contracts, for in- stance. sold off to IT SIC. or sS points net lower and e3 points, or nearly 1c a pound, below the high price touched just before Thanksgiving. That de- livery closed at r .57c. or at the low est point of the morning, with the general market closing easy at a net decline of 25 to 37 points.
 After opening barely steady at a decline of to 12 points under a few overnight selling orders. the market stiffened up slightly for over the weekend, which was probably pro- noted by reports of a good tone In the stock market. There was very little buying, however, while the ad- vance brought out increased liquida- tion or realizing. and the market weakened later in the morning, when selling fthis sort became more gen eraI., Western and Wall street in- lcicahS CfC SCAlcAS OA anu March. and some scattered selling was also reported for southern ac- count, as result of which December eased off to IT .65c and March to 1755c, with the general list showing net losses of 2S to 35 points. Closing prices were within point or two of the lowest. Some of the Wall street and local selling was accompanied by bearish comment on the apparent fail ure of recent advances in raw ma teriaIs to stimulate demand for goods or spot cotton in the south, and there were also predictions of falling off In exports, The amount of cotton on shipboard at the end of the week was l4S,222 bales, against 239,433 last year. according to a local authority, and it was pointed out around the ring that clearances for the balance of the year will run against com paratively heavy figures for last sea son. There was some bullish com ment on the fact that Fall River mills reopened for Friday and the half day today, after having closed for Thanksgiving, but sales of print cloths in the Fall River market for the week were estimated at only 75.- 900 pieces. According to advices re- ceived by the department of com merce Italian mills are now running on practically full time.
