Washington. Dec. 31.-Whis.
perings about an extra session OF
Congress have reached the talk
ing basis. The proposal for a
spring session reveals wide diff
ference in opinion between the
President and congressional lead
ers. At present it appears that
the Chief Executive holds the
whip hand. 1t is said that Mr..
Coolidge wants to call another
armament conference here in the
spring and desires to be free
from congressional criticism.
His idea is that an international
arms conference is of sufficient
Importance to warrant exclusive
attention.
On the other hand, one of the
administration spokesman at the
Capitol, Senator Borah, has open
ly advocated an extra session.
The legislative calendar at the
beginning of the year is extreme
ly crowded. 1t is claimed that
time is all too short to allow con-
sideration of all important legis-
lative measures. Senator Borah
says that a special session should
be called to give attention to
agricultural and general econo-
mic legislation.
One of the proposals is to dis
pose of the recommendations of
the Coal Commission which re-
ported nearly two years ago. No
action has ever been taken on the
recommendations of the Federal
Coal Commission after q long and
intensive study recommending
reorganization of the coal indus
try.
It is believed that the findings
of the special Agricultural Com

mission now at work will not be
available until the early spring
months. The senate steering
committee has framed an elabor-
ate program for the short session
which expires March 4. The de-
velopments Of the first three
weeks of the session shows quite
clearly that few. if any of the
nine major bills reported by the
steering committee will ever find
their way to the statutes. True,
they are on the Senate Calendar
for immediate consideration but
the legislative situation pre-
cludes immediate attention.
One of the important bills on
the Senate calendar is the Smoot
reorganization measure. This bill
proposes to realignment of Fed
eral bureaus, including the estab-
lishment of a Department of
Education. Action on this meas
Iure has been held up at previous
sessions because it is generally
agreed that the proposal contains
political dynamite. The SEN
ate expected to dispose Of the
Muscle Shoals program before
Christmas, but parliamentary
complications ensued with the
result that nobody knows when
the matter will be concluded.
The House made considerable
progress on appropriation bills
during the early weeks Of this
session. The Senate Appropria-
tons Committee took steps to
Keep abreast of fiscal legislation
by taking note of the action Of
the House on each item for gov
ernmental expenditures. This
time-saving plan was practically

Terminal markets. The disease
is known as the European Fowl
Plague or Pest. 1t runs a very
swift course, sometimes as short
as "a hours from infection to
death, and is fatal in by far the
larger number of cases.
Representatives of the points
interested, went from Chicago to
Washington, met with DR.. Nohler
of the Federal Department of
Agriculture and with Congress-
men and Senators, and secured an
emergency appropriation of one
hundred thousand dollars. to be
administered by the Bureau of
Animal Industry for the purpose
of tracing and stamping out the
disease. This work is now in
progress.
AS soon as New York had TAX
en- action, the Minnesota State
Department of Agriculture. the
Live Stock Sanitary Board and
the Veterinary Division of the
Agricultural College conferred as
to the local situation. Informa-
ton at that time, and that
gathered since. is to the effect
that the disease in question is
not and has not been present in
Minnesota. DIR. c. C. Lipp. of the
Veterinary Division of the S. ID.
Agricultural College, says that it
is not present in South Dakota,
and DIR. Schalk of the North Da-
kota Agricultural College says
that the disease does not exist in
that state. DIR. Cotton of the
Minnesota Live Stock Sanitary
Board has visited southern Min
nesota and found no evidence Of
disease in that region Of the
state. and the State Department
Of Agriculture has kept daily
watch over the receipts of the
Twin Cities markets for the past
six weeks without finding any
trace of it.

MRS. M. MORTENSEN
CALLED BY DEATH
Long Sufferer From Tuber-
culosis Died Tuesday
Afternoon.

After years Of illness and trials.
which takes a strong body and
mind TO endure, the earthly cares
Of Mrs. Morten Mortensen have
ceased. Death came peacefully
shortly after three o'clock Tues
day afternoon.
Petrea Kristensen Mortcnsen
was born at Dsstrup. Denmark.
on Oct. n. 1876, being a little
past 48 years at the time Of
death. On July 20, 1899. she was
united in marriage to Morten
Mortensen. They lived at Store
Rsrb@k until 1912 when the
family emigrated to America.
Three months were spent in Ne
braska after which they came to
Askov settling here in October
1912. The first winter was spent
on a farm south of town where
real pioneer life was experienced.
after which they spent several
years in the village, Mr. Mortcn-
sen doing shoe repairing. The
past few years they have resided
on their farm southeast Of town.
Eight children have been born
to this union all Of whom are liv-
ing and all at home as follows:
Niels. Thomas, Johannes, Elmer
Kathrine, Elmer, Holger and
Bernhard. The two youngest
we're born at Askov, the others
in Denmark.
Mrs. Mortensen has not been
in good health for the past Is
years but never complained. She
bore up wonderfully well under
the constant strain and was
noble woman, ever attentive to
the welfare and comfort Of her
husband and children. 1t was.
however, not until the last two
years that the tuberculosis gained
such Roadway that she was
obliged to remain in bed and dur
ing that period she was in bed
most of the time. Her mind was
bright and active until the last
and it was only a few days that
she had to struggle for her
breath. The final summons came
Tuesday afternoon.
Likely one of the happiest
events in her life was last sum-
mer on July 20. when neighbors
and friends gathered at the home
to help her and Mr.. Mortensen
celebrate their silver wedding
anniversary. Many came to show
their deep friendship and respect.
Besides the immediate family

her death. 10 sisters and brothers

sour Own Race.
Johan Boilers latest novel, "Vor
egen Stamme", has now been is
sued at Oslo, Norway, and deals
with the life and the hardships
of Morse pioneers who came to
the Red River valley in the
seventies. The book affords a
most curious parallel to Rel-
vaag's Il de Dage". issued just
a few days before Bojer's. Both
novels depict the very same
events. but the drawing of char
acter is of course different.
Bojer made studies in the field
while he was in this country in
the latter part of 1923.
Asks for Stipend.

Stockholm, Sweden has asked
the government for stipend

Back from Hollywood.
Baroness Musse Scheel of Co
penhagen, has returned to Den
mark after having spent several
weeks in motion-picture studios
on Long Island and at Hollywood,
Cal. At the latter place she was
the house guest of Mr.. and Mrs.
Douglas Fairbanks whose ac-
quaintance she made last year
when they visited Denmark. She
also told newspaper interviewers
on her home coming that she has
become personally acquainted
with "all the biggest stars of film
armament" relations that APP
parently afford her great deal
of pleasure. Some day, the
baroness says. she wants to be a
star herself.
NOrsemen in the South.
Recently H. A. Lindelie of St.
Petersburg, Fla, has published a
suggestion that Norwegians from
other parts of the United States
establish a settlement some
where in Florida. At the same
time information comes to the
effect that Norwegians in New
Orleans, La. now have become so
numerous that they have formed
a social and fraternal organiza-
ton. Thus it begins to look as if
the trek from Norway, hitherto
always leading to the northwest
ern part of this country. is chang
ing its direction.

The church baseball league will enter upon it's second week of play tonight with two more fast games at Willow Brook park, the winners ot last Tuesdays close encounters ex- changing opponents, The Center church, which defeated the South church by one run last week, will meet the White Army, while the Blue Army. which nosed out it's White opponents on the first night will tackle the South church. All four teams will present substantial ly the same lne-ups as in their first games.
 Friday night will sec the Metho- dist church and Stanley Memorial church engaged in combat, while the Red Army and First Lutheran church, both victors last week, will come together Tn duel for the league lead.
 The games in this circuit have de- ycloped surprisingly low scores, the pitching and fielding being of good caNber and the batters have been kept under restraint in the games played so far. There has been little inside baseball, however, and when some team begins 10 bunt. work the hit-and-run and do other tricks at inc bat this fielding may go to pieces and big score roll up. All the teams appear 10 be of good quality and a hard-fought battle for the Leland cup is in prospect.

WILLS AND CREE ARE FAVORITES IN BOUTS
Giant Negro and Worlds Middle weight Champion Leading in
 Betting For Winners.

New York, June 30 R-Harry Wills. Giant negro heavyweight, and Harry Greb, worlds middleweight champion. were fayorites today in betting on the main bouts of fif- teen rounds at the Polo Grounds Thursday night for the Italian hos pital fund. .s. ... .
 Odds. of { to 1 on Wills to de- feat Charley Weinert of Newark. N. J. prevailed in spite of the fact that word had come from the New Jersey boxers camp that he had closed strenuous training yesterday in the best condition of his career.
 Greb was an 8 to 5 choice over his challenger, Mickey Walker. my Slattery, sensational Buffalo, N. Worlds Welterweight Champion. For a special six round bout. Jim T.. middleweight, was 5 to ? se- lection over Dave Shade, California welterweight. Joe Lynch, former bstam champion, was favored at to to take four round decision over his ancient New York rival Jack Sharkey.
 Weinert hung up his gloves at his Summit, N. J., camp yesterday un- til the gong calls him out to give battle to Harry Wills. His trainers announced he had reached the peak of condition and in order to pre- vent him from going stale, they said that until fight day he would confine his work to road runs. Wills and the other boxers on the card continued to train at top speed, however. although Walker and Greb declared they would rest to- morrow and Thursday.
 The opening bout is scheduled to start. by S.So o'clock daylight time. while the principals in the feature fight. under the law, must enter the ring by<10 o'clock. The promo tcrs have not yet decided which shall be the main bout.

TY COBB CHOOSES
 OPPOSING PITCHER
For Carroll Favor Boston Agrees
 to DetrOiter'S Dictates

Detroit June 80 Pl-Ty Cobb is nothing if not original Always not ed for his colorful characteristics and mannerisms, Cobb has added a new one to his repertoire.
 The Detroit manager enjoys the unique distinction of being the only major league leader 10 pick the pitcher for the opposition. It hap pcned this way:
 Draws Big Crowd
 All New England. it seemed, im- portuned Cobb 10 permit Owen Car roll, Holy Cross pitching star to make his debut in Boston. Since Carroll had been with the club only one day prior to the Boston visit, Cobb wasn't keen for starting him so soon after joining the majors.
 The Boston management wanted Carroll to make his debut on a Sat- urday, if Cobb agreed to let him start here. President Quinn Of the Red Sox knew that with Carroll as an added attraction the fans would pack the park. He did. Over 25,O00 turned out to pay him homage. Here is where Cobb got in his master stroke. Naturally he wanted Carroll to get away to good start. IIo hi,,, to y,-i, Ri q, game if possible.
 Manager Fohl of the Red Sox figured 10 use Ehmke on Saturday, June goth. as it was his regular day 10 work. Incidentally he had four straight wins to his credit.
 T will pitch Carroll against Bos- ton on Saturday." agreed Cobb, but will not work him against either Ehmke or Quinn. Boston must use some pitcher other than one of the two veteran stars"
 Boston agreed to the dictates of a rival manager. Ehmke pitched a day out of turn and was beaten 6-S in 10 innings. Ruffing, the youthful Red Sox star. was used against Carroll.
 Unqucstionably Cobb is the only manager in the history of the ma jors who has told the opposition whom they could and couldn't pitch and got away with it.
 Real Financial Favor
 Cobb, of course. figured that In permitting Carroll 10 start against Boston with only two days major league experience, he was granting the Boston club a financial favor
 Because of that he insisted Boston should show some consideration to- ward Carroll. He stipulated that neither of the clubs two veteran stars should be used against his college phenom and won his point.
 The Red Sox then proceeded to take revenge by scoring eight runs in six innings and driving the Holy Cross star to the showers. Detroit, however, eventually won the game. 11-9.

New York, June 30 R,-Golf as a factor in family happiness was ap- preciated by many a mother today when she heard the details of how dads keen putting and sons mighty driving kept the family in the run ming for the annual father and son championship of the metropolitan district,
 Golf widows have long been a subject of mirth and golf has figured seriously in divorce cases, but an- other aspect of the game as 1t affects the home was revealed yesterday when 12S dads played hockey. many of them from big business. and with 12S sons as partners engaged in a tournament at the Garden City Country club.
 The father and son golf associa- ton was founded 10 years ago and started competition with few play CTS. Now it is so extensive that there. may have to be notifications, tor Wesley NJ. oler, Jr., former Yale athlete, after playing around with his father. wanted to play again with his son, but there was not time.
 Noted amateurs in the competition included Jess Sweetser, former ma tional champion and now metropoli- tan titleholder. Playing alternate strokes, as the rules required, the Sweetsers scored an S5, having bad break with a two-stroke penalty when an excellent putt by father hit the pin.
 The ages ranged from. 17 to so and the gross scores from so to 15e.
 Robert A. and Percy V. James tied for the low gross score with S. and F. V. Homans at S3.
 W. II. and r. T. Nichols were lock- cd with A B. Rode, senior and jun for, for low net prize at 71.
