1^. uvoua%v j v.?4* VVA Xlj x t w ? ONGRESS CALLED FOR EXTRA SESSION j /ill Be Convened Two Weeks Before] Regular Time?Merchant Marine Soon Considered L Washington, Nov. 9.?Congress ?is called by President Harding to- ^ Ight to meet in extra session Xoveni- t er 20, exactly two weeks in advance : f the regular session. ffhe call set forth as is usual in the j 1 x: A 1' 01 a proclamation utcia:ru niv. session was made necessary by j ^H^Blic interests. The text of the j I lama:ir-r. follows: ^ j^PWhereas, public interests require i V the congress of the United States j H^Bould be convened in extra session { 12 o'clock noon, on the 20th day November, 1922. to receive such' ^^^Bmmunications as may be made by j executive. ^^b^Iow, therefore, I, Warren G. I I^H^fting. president of the United! ^^H^s of America, do hereby pro-j IK and declare that an extraord: j j occasion requires the congress j the United States to convene in j W extra session at the capitol in the | city of Washington on the 20lh day; of November, 1922, and 12 o'clock j - ' ? ! noon, of whicn an persons wnu zuai, . at that time be entitled to act as | members thereof are hereby required ; to take notice. \ J "In witness whereof, I have here- J unto set my hand and caused the: seal of the United States to be affix-1 ed. ''Done at the city of Washington, | this ninth day of November, in the j year of our Lord, 1922, and of the j Independence of the United States, i the 147th. Warren G. Harding." j No Surprise Caused Announcement that the call would j be issued either today or tomorrow' had been made early this week from j the White House and prior to that j statements made by congressional j leaders after conferences with the j I # I president indicated that the executive i had practically made up his mind to j /?rtncrress in special session, j t'Uin Cau although the call Would not be sent j out until after the election. The call of the special session two weeks in advance of the regular j meeting has been approved generally j by Republican leaders in congress, j who have felt that by getting an j earlier start on legislation than I would be afforded by the regular j session practically all important bills I including the appropriation measures ( could be disposed of by next March J 4 when the Sixty-seventh congress; must adjourn sine die. Leaders have j asserted tkat unless the special ses-! sion were called it would be neces-j sary to have an extra session after j March 4 and work into the summer, months. f ' Although the nature of the president's recommendations to the extra session when it convenes November i on Kflvp not been definitely outlined j MV UM - ? the opinion of Republican leaders has been that the house will proceed' directly to consideration of the mer- j chant marine bill. The president I agreed to postponement of action on this measure at the last session upon j assurances of party leaders that it: would be taken up without delay ; when congress reconvened. Supply Measures Too While the house itself is working on this bill its appropriations committee-divided into subcommittees' will work on the supply measures, which really provide the most inpor-j tant task facing congress at the reg-' - ular session. The members of the' n i appropriations committee have been called by Chairman Madden to meet tomorrow to begin work.of providing I the government with appropriations! for the fiscal year ending June ^0, < 1924, and budget bureau estimate; for most of the departments are vir-; tually completed. Leaders hope to have four or rive appropriation bills | ready for the house by December 4, \ when the regular session will begin. The senate has several important, measures left over from the last ses-. sion, including the Dyer anti-lynching bill, which has .been parsed by the 1 house, and it is probable that Presi- j dent Harding will make some definite; - ~ recommendation at the .outset of the' session as to the changes in the trans- J portation act. The senate also will > receive a number of nominations soon ; after it convenes, including the name ! the successor to Associate Justic ? { I v to the supreme court, appoint- j to the more than a score of j V>v eon- i ii jua^resinps . it the last session and many < i ?pt in the case of vacancies ! f the new members of congress! at Tuesday's election will take j eat until afte-- March 4.

THIRSTY SHIPS TO CHANGE FLAG Reliance and Resolute Quit United States Washington, Nov. 9.?The shipping board today granted permission to the Untied American line -(the Harriman line) to transfer the registry of the steamships Reliance and Resolute from the American flag to the Panama flag. While the basis' of the request was not made public, :t was sa inudilcffieo shrdluu cmschvce was said unofficially at the shipping board that the reason assigned was the recent Daugherty ruling against the sale of liquor on vessels flying the Stars and Stripes. The Resolute, 17.299 gross tons, is scheduled to begin world tour November 15 and when the Daugherty ruling was made, there were almost immediately 52 cancellations from persons who said they did not wantj 1 ?J > cVnn The I to taKe suca a iuui un a ui j ? Reliance, 16,79S gross tons, will 'sail J February 3 for a six weeks' cruise to I Brazil, touching West Indian and South American ports. j The two vessels were purchased by the Harriman interests about a year ago from Dutch owners and under the terms of the agreement the United American Line reserved the right to I transfer to other than American reg-1 istry within three years if American J registry was found to be unsatisfac-j tory. , New York, Nov. 9.?R. H. M. Rob-1 inson, president of the United Amer-1 ican Line and the American Ship and Commerce corporation, declared today that the application for transfer I of the steamers Resolute and Relii ice from America to Panaman registry was due to loss of trade resultin? from the Daugherty ruling on the 11 sale of liquor on American ships or. the high seas. Early last summer, he said, the 1 Resolute was chartered for a world tour and the Reliance for a South American tour. After the Daugherty ' ruling, forbidding the sale of liquor 1 " ^ on American ships anywnere on ias high^seas, more than 50 passengers ( on the Resolute had cancelled their reservations for the most part expen- ' sive accommodations. * Keen competition of foreign ships making winter cruises, Mr. Robinson said, made it clear that the cruises of ( the Resolute and Reliance could no: ' be carried out successfully unless pas- 1 sengers were offered the same privi- c leges and service as are offered on * foreign ships. * "Therefore," Mr. Robinson de- c clared, "in view of the large sums in- * volved, and in fairness to our stock- * holders we have completed arrange- * ments to transfer the ships to a for- * eign flae." * C Panpma fl^or w&S * OClCt ciyii vi x made, he added, because it was be- , lieved to be the most acceptable to the interest of the United States. Financial investment and management I of the ships will remain American. To Newberry Celebration The State, 11. Several of Columbia's prominent , musicians took part in the Armistice .

For the Anti-saloon league, Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel, said the "wets" would not have as many | votes, by three at least, in the sen- j ate as heretofore and that their J strength in the house would not ex- j cced 140, or 78 less than a majority.} On the other hand, the Association i Against the Prohibition Amendment,; through G. C. Hinckley, its general j secretarv, claimed a gain of 80 "lib-1 ... i eral" votes in the house which, it is: asserted, would give actual control of that body to the modificationists. "The pronounced increase in the j 'wet' membership," said Mr. Hinck-j ley's statement, "renders highly prob-i able the passage of liberal legislation j ' " ^ f V* O f* 1 in tiie next session oi m..., will strike the first blow at the more' stringent provisions of the Volstead act. ''Involved in this view is a consideration of the change in headships of the powerful committees in the' house.

Also j he was of the opinion that the result] in Tuesday's election would have its effect on members who hitherto have refrained from voting on the enforcement question. Mr. Whqeler in hh statement declared that the claims of the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment of a gain of 80 votes in the next house was "like the foam on a glass of beer?nothing substantial to it." "In the house," said Mr. Wheeler, j <{4.1,f^foi cfvono-tVi m the nast fori IUC1I IU 1.1*1 ^ any boor or light wine amendment or: similar weakening amendment to the national prohibition act was not morei than 1 8\ The last reports we have ! v I from the states, with a few districts out, show that they will never muster 140 votes for any such amendment. Their vote will 'probablv be much less , tnan that. / i "The only real test of sentiment on the 2.75 per cent beer issue this year was in Ohio, here the proposal was defeated by more than lo0,000. In Illinois the organized 'dry' forces did not vjte either way on the beer proposal.

Mr. Hinckley declared, the outlook v. as "extremely* favorable for the carrying out of the "preliminary*' program of hi-; organization, and other or' the leaders of the "wets" entertained a similar view. ! Program in Doubt Just what the program of attack on the Volstead bill will be has not yet been fully deveJoped, but i: is expected to be a straighout proposition for the sale of light wines and beer. That proposal was put forward in connection with the soldiers bonus bill at the, last session but it never received sc-; rious consideration.
