URGE CONGRESS BE CALLED. Vonservative Financiers Believe that Need is Pressing for Congres sional Action on the Money Question. Washington. November 2.-It was learned here today from undoubted sources that President Roosevelt is now being urged to call an extra ses sion of congress to d.al with the fin ancial situation. The rcquest comes from and represents the judgment of the conservative leaders in the finan cial world, who have represented the present situation as one compelli-ig action of a character which will affir mativel -dicate all ground for sus picion of American industrial meth ods. The president has .been assured from most reliable sources that there will be no opposition on the part of the great industries of the cou.itry to the enactment of the necessary laws to carry out his ideas of Federal con trol to the extent to which he has ex pounded them in his recent public ut terances. These assurances are made at this time to avert what has been represented as the most dangerous situation which has confronted the country during an extended historic period-that is, the seemingly grow ing lack of confidence based on known irregularities in business methods in some quarters, and no sure and speedy means of separating the good from the unsound. To this end it is suggested that the president set congress to the first task of making such amendments to the financial laws as will result in the maximum of flexibility with the ini mum of basic change in our system. Next, and perhaps most in import ance, is that the president embody his suggestions on corporation control in to succinct reeommendations for en acting into law. In this connection the president's attention has been di reeted to what he said at Princeton, Ma4s., August 20 last. 0I believe in a national incorpora tion law for corporations engaged in Inter-Atate basiness, I believe, fur thermore, that t.he need for action is most pressing as regards those cor porations which, because they are common carriers, exercise a quasi pub lic function; and which can be com pletely controlled, in all respects by the Federal Government, by the ex ercise of the power conferred during Pthe Inter-State commerce clause, and if necessary dnder the post road clause of the constitution.*** "The'-YNational government should exercise over them a similar super vision and control to that which i~t exerecises over npoonal banks. We can do this only ...proceeding farth er along the lines marked out by the recent national legislation. S"Almost every big business conern is engaged in Inter-State commerce, and such a concern must not be al lowed by a dexterous shifting of posi tion, as has been too often the case in the past, to escape thereby all re sponsibility either to state or to na tion.'' To meet his views the president then suggested amendments to the Shermhn anti-trust law, and the addi tion of a criminal clause to that end to the Inter-State commerce regula tions. The bene fit of having Federal legal machinery to detect and eradi cate unwholzsome bu.siness methods at this time was said to be the de sirable end to be accorpiplished. This would mean, it is pointed out, a prae tic,al wiping off of the slate and a starting afresh under business condi tions which would have and which could bear the closest public scrutiny. That the President has given the re quest for an extra session careful--con sideration is indicated by those who have been asked to lend their advice in the matter. That the informationI as to existing coniditions is not alarm ing has been the continuing assurane which has come from the Govern ment 's careful observations. With this in view the President has been told that the call for an extra sessioA of congress might have the reverse effect from that desired by those who are uir'n such action; ethat it would tend to emphasize in the public mind an apprehension of unfavorable con ditions which do not exist. F:nli::.z in obtaining an extra ses sioni tho~se who have madec the appeal for it have presented an alternative. or'an additional request that the pres Sident make a public statement of the assurance he feels in the sound condi tic-.n of pubiliCcereAh. This. too. 1m0 met with a measure of oppositionl from the Administration 's advisers. Both suggzestions are still matters of consideration, although no informa tion whatever is obtainable regardmg either directly from the White House. Just His Size. John M. Work, the socialist-lectur - e nd athor of "What's So and slim. During the season of 1905-6, Work and Walter Thomas Mills, who is short and thick, both appeared on a lecture course at Cincinnati. Mills came first. In the course of his lec ture he took occasion to announce the coming of his fellow plat'formist. Among other things he said, "Work is just my size." A snicker ran over the audience. Mills continued, "Now, what are you folks laughing at ? Work is twice as tall as I am and half as big around -doesn't that make him just my size?' "-The Lyceumite and Talent. Squaws and Sewing Machines. Minneapolis Journal. "I am preparing for my annual trip of the Indians of the Florida Everglades, the most interesting trip I ever take," said a sewing machine agent. "But what do you sell in the out bandish Everglades?" a woman ask ed. ''Sewing machines, dear madam," he replied. " To, the Indians ? "Even so. There is hardly a squaw in the wild and remote Everglades who has not her sewing machine. In deed, sewing machines have become necessities in the Everglades, like Moccasins or firewater. I Why ? For beadwork making. You know this beautiful beadwork that the Indians of the Everglades sell? Well, it is all made on sewing ma ehines. It is made on my machines. I have done a good trade in the Ever glades for five years. "In the Everglades," he ended, "the hoot of the loon and the splash of the erocodile in the lagoon are well nigh drowned in the continuous whirr of a thousand busy machines." Got Tired. of Her Job. Ohicago Examiner. Nanny Oatching, the famous old Abrown and white goat of the Univer city of Chicago has quit her job. Her desertion so deeply affected the doc tors and medical students that they called upon the police to aid them to find Nanny and induce her ,to come back home. The police believe that Nanny tired of her job. It was her duty to catch every possible disease that the doet ors and students might wish to study and she had ..hardly known a well day sine she' 'became the goat t"or laboratory experiments. For cerebro-spinal meningitis, Nan Catehing traveled the route to beri beri and cholera and back again to tincaneatis, uttering frequent com plaints, but all the time making noble sacrifices in the great cause of science. Her task, however, finally palled upon Nancy aind when the jailer had f o go look over for her yesterday in her .pasture lot to invite her over to the laboratory to have a mild attack of diptheria, the goat was gone to other quarters.
