"Postponing the matter until the

WASHINGTON, May 13.-Every
day makes more evident the need
for an extra session of Congress to
deal with the Mississippi flood emer-
gency," Senator Robert M. La Fol
lette Jr. asserted today. He exhib-
tied a pile of kilograms and letters,
echoing his request that President
Coolidge issue an immediate call.
'It is great disaster" the Sen
ator said, land the needs it has Gre
ated can be met only by the Federal
Government. The work of the Red
Cross is all very well, but no sooner
does the public subscribe to the
amount asked for than it is found
that the estimates of the need have
been too small. There were 100000
refugees several days ago. Every
day sees new breaks and more land
devastated and more families added
to the refugees.
For Many Weeks
"These people will have to be
housed and fed many weeks before
the waters recede. Then their living

Yevees must be mended at once.

sion which would absolve one man

In II Schmitt admits the murder
of Gus Spilker. who was killed some
time ago. Spilker's murder resulted
in Charles ]. Schmitt, a foster son
of the man who is purported to
have written the confession, being
committed to the division for
criminal insane at the Indiana State
Prison.
Schmitt died Sept. "a. 1925, and
the confession was not found until
few days ago. Mrs. Lulu Schmitt,
widow of the dead man, said she dis
covered it in one of the drawers of
! the home.
. Immediately after Spilker's muir
der. young Schmitt was charged with
the crime and arraigned before
Judge Jonas 2. Walker. Judge
] Walker, according to evidence sub
mitted to the pardon board, imme-
diately ordered a sanity hearing.
Blamed Alcohol
Two doctors, o. S. Heller and

was "a degenerate" and that the

slant alcoholic indulgence.
