EXTRA SESSION TO BE CALLED APRIL 15

President-Elect Sets at Best Discussion by Announcing That He Will Hake Call. Woodrow Wilson announced Friday night that immediately upon his inauguration as President he will issue a call for an extra session of the national congress to take up tariff legislation. The date will be no later than April 15th and probably that will be the exact date. The following statement was given out by the president-elect: “I shall call congress together in extraordinary session not later than April 15. I shall do this.not oaiy because I think that the pledges of the party ought to be redeemed as promptly as possible, but also because I know it to be in the interest of business that all uncertainty as to what the particular items of tariff revision are to be should be removed as soon as possible.”

MOROCCO VICTORY WAS SUSTAINED

Report From Neighboring Town is to Effect That Oar Objections v Were Not Upheld. The controversy about the last touchdown made by Morocco in the football game here two weeks ago has, according to the Morocco Courier, been decided against Rensselaer, which would have the effect of giving Morocco the' victory by the score of 12 to 6. C. 11. Dean, principal 'of the high school and the faculty manager of athletics, wrote to J. T. Giles, of Marion, of the board of athletics of the state association. His letter follows: Mr. J. T. Giles, Marion, Ind. Dear Sir: We played a game with Morocco last Saturday, which ended with a score 12-6 in favor of Morocco. However, we were very much dissatisfied with the Morocco official. He had to be reminded several times of the rules governing penalties. We wish to protest the last touchdown that they made and have the score declared a tie. Below will be found the grounds for protest: In the third quarter, the head linesman claims that Morocco had the ball in her possession when the quarter ended and it was the third down. When the fourth quarter started, it was Morocco’s ball, but he gave them'two more downs. On the last down they circled left end and across the corner of the goal line but the man kept running in the ten yard zone back of the goal. When near the goal posts he fumbled the ball and the captain of the Rensselaer team fell on it In the meantime, the officials and time keepers came running after the team. When* the Moroeco official came up, he called out that a touch down had been made but seemed surprised that a Rensselaer man was in possession of the ball-. He took the ball and carried It directly out from Where our captain had fallen on it and permitted Morocco to try for goal. In the dispute which followed he claimed to have blown litis whistle when the man crossed the corner of the field, but no_one seems to have heard the whistle. Even grafting that he blew it, why didn’t he allow a Morocco man to kick out from where the ball was first declared dead (corner of the field) thus giving Morocco a chance to kick the goal from where they received it, rather than directly back of the goal where a Rensselaer man had it in his possession? We claim that it was illegal and should not be allowed. With a Rensselaer man'on the ball It would have been a touchback. Very truly, C. R. DEAN. Mr. Dean has quite clearly stated the case, except that at the end of the third quarter the ball lacked 6 yards of the distance Morocco had to go and Morocco had but one remaining down. The referee at the beginning of the fourth period called the down the first instead of the fourth. Rather peculiarly Mr. Giles wrote to Mr. Illingsworth, the principal of the Morocco high school and suggested that he come to Indianapolis at the meeting of the board and personally present the case. This Mr. Illingsworth did. He directly misrepresented the facts in saying that the penalty awarded against Rensselaer gave Morocco the required distance. That is about the only thing Mr. Illingsworth is reported to have said that would have any bearing on the question. He did not dispute that the Morocco man was tackled and lost the ball and that Captain Moore fell upon it. The Courier says that the board voted unanimously to let the score stand.

Two years ago when Morocco protested Rensselaer for having played Kirk, the Rensselaer faculty was not allowed to appear and present their case. In the matter at Issue at this time, Mr. Dean should have been asked to come before the board at the same Time Mr. Illingsworth was there. The action of the board looks very biased and unfair. The Morocco Courier sugegsts that the reason Rensselaer complained was because of humiliation at being beaten by a smaller town and because it harbored hard feelings because Morocco had caused it to be ruled out of the association. Nothing could be further from the case. Rensselaer players were cautioned by Prof. Dean and by Coach Parker before entering The game to beware of any act that was not fair and sportsmanlike. And there was no occasion for the Morocco people to make complaint at any thing that occurred. The Morocco team put up a superior game during the third and fourth periods but the referee was very partial and the two rulings cited by Mr. Dean had the direct effect of giving them a touchdown which by all fairness they did not deserve. > Shepherd dogs are to be among the features of the International Live Stock Exposition which will be held at tbe stockyords in Chicago Nov. 30 to Dec. 7, according to Secretary B. H. Heide, who Thursday received word that several of the biggest sheep raisers In - the west were bringing their trained dogs with their flocks for exhibition purposes. Probably the best trained sheep dogs In the world are owned by the University of Wyoming. These animals have been entered for the show.

Rensselaer Closed Strong After the Visitors Had Secured Big LeadScore 13 to 7. Kankakee won the football game today by the score of 13 to 7. With a score of 13 to 0 in Kankakee’s favor, Rensselaer started the last period with more vim than has characterized their play this year. Choate made a spectacular 70-yard run and made a touchdown and Miller kicked goal. McCarthy later got away with a forward pass and made 25 yards. When time was called the ball was in Rensselaer’s possession on Kankakee’s 28 yard line.

COL HAMMOND IN BIG LEGAL FIGHT

Directs Defense In Million Dollar Dill Salt In Progress In Benton Circuit Court. The suit to set aside the will of the late Mrs. Jennie Caldwell is being tried at Fowler. The estate is valued at about a million dollars, largely in Benton county real estate. The plaintiffs are practically all the legal heirs. Edwin P. Hammond, formerly of Rensselaer, and for some years judge of the circuit then consisting of Benton, Jasper and Newton counties, is the leading attorney for the defense. The Benton county Review devotes considerable space to a write-up of Judge Hammond, which is here reproduced. A marked copy of the Review crosses out the work “sixty,” speaking of Judge Hammond’s age and the word “sixteen” is written instead. We have placed the sixteen in parenthesis. Judge Hammond is probably seventyfive years of age, but is in the very prime of life in his profession as will Be understood from the. fact-that he is directing the defense in this great lawsuit. The Review article follows: Col. E. P. Hammond, of Lafayette, is the strategist who is directing the defense in the battle being waged in the circuit court for a million dollars. Mr. Hammond has on his staff some brilliant and is opposed by men of vast knowledge, keen wit pnd scholarly attainments. In the quiet atmosphere, of the court house a titanic struggle is being waged; it is fraught with interest to many persons; there is much at stake and it is a conflict such as delights the soul of the strong man. And in the midst of it all sits Col. Hammond, alert to seize advantage; watchful of any attempt to weaken his position, either by charge or stealth. If other members of the profession who are engaged in the trial are dismissed at this point without further comment, it is only because this item was begun to tell our readers something about Mr. Hammond, who is more than sixty (sixteen), and sits there with a flush of health on his cheeks and misses not a word that is said. He has been in the thick of the big events all his life. Law, war and politics have offered fields on which he has gained distinction, and were it not for his innate modesty he could relate tales of carnage and courage that would cause the red blood to pulse faster; he could reveal star chamber political secrets that would astonish, and he could tell of the clash of wits that decided more than one famous lawsuit.

He was at Chicamauga under Thomas, and when Rosecrans withdrew a brigade too hastily and gave Bragg his opportunity to break through and destroy the Union formation he and his men were where hell roared the loudest. Fifty-one per cent of his boys failed to respond when the roll was called that night. While the shells were screeching their paeon of destruction an officer turned to Col. Hammond and asked for a chew of tobacco. As he held the plug of navy in his hand a solid shot cut him in twain at the waist. With the mist of affection blurring his eyes Col. Hammond nonchalently recovered the plug, and swallowing the lump which came into his throat, helped himself to a chew to take the taste out of his mouth and turned his attention more to the business in hand In times of peace he won political distinction and a seat on the supreme bench of Indiana, a position he filled with ability and distinction. In private life he has achieved much fame in the practice of his profession and it is a marvel among lawyers that he has the reputation of having won more cases in the supreme court and appellate courts than any other man living or dead. And it is only a few years ago that a man named Osier was advocating that all men over sixty years of age should be chloroformed.

T)be price of fresh eggs In New York City soared Thursday to 72 cents a dozen, breaking all records. This was the figure asked for strictly fresh eggs, and the ordinary “nearby barnyard fresh-laid eggs” were selling at 60 cents. The rise In price began Wednesday and eggs were at a prohibitive figure when the market closed. Receipts in New York to date for 1912 are over 338,000 crates less than for the same period in 1911.

Coming Winter Is to Be An Unusually Cold One.

The coming winter . will be an unusually severe one, according to the weather prognosticators of the old belief. They base tills prediction on the time-honored rales laid down by nature. The prophet says the moM on the north side of the trees is much heavier than usual. This is a sign of cold weather and plenty of it. The squirrels are busily engaged in filling their dens with food and woodsmen say this indicates heavy snows, with cold weather. The bones of geese, both old and young, are said to be heavier than usual and the down thicker. The goose bone is one of the best known methods of prediction in rural districts. In addition to all these signs it is said the wool of sheep Is heavier than it has been in years, and people who have been close enough to muskrats and other animals to examine them declare that their fnr Is going to be thicker this winter than R has been in- ten years.
