EXTRA SESSION TO BE CALLED APRIL 1

President-Elect Decides to Call Con- ' gross Together Soon After His Inauguration. From Trenton, N. J., comes the first official statement given out by President-elect Wilson that congress will be called in special session on April Ist to take up the tariff revision legislation and to undertake to fulfill the democratic platform promises along that line. Mr. Wilson stated that he had no word to give out about his cabinet. He said he was trying to get into it the best force possible. Men with impetus and‘snap, “a group of fellows that will do team work” as Mr. Wjlson expressed it, are to compose his cabinet. He indicated that there might be some declinations between now and March 4th and he don’t want to give out the names of his advisers until all is arranged for.

Mr. Wilson also said that he was not quite certain what recommendations he would make in the special session message but that he was thinking of a feasable method of currency reform. Several tariff bills are ready for presentation as soon as the special session meets. An income tax measure will also be submitted.

Future Race Without Hair Or Teeth and Two Toes Gone.

Hairless, toothless and eight-toed human beings willsoon have the civilized world to themselves, according to Professor Frederick Starr, the University of Chicago anthropologist. The scientist warned his students of the coming change and advised them to submit gracefully to Mother Nature’s latest intentions.

Modern Civilization in general and hats, cooked food and shoes in particular, are held responsible for the fate of the race. Professor Starr asserted that because the people do not live under primitive conditions the children of the future win be more and ‘more unlikely to develop hair, teeth and little toes. Professor Starr has observed signs of the new race in Chicago a nd various other parts of the world. He declared that he could prove his theory by pointing out personal defects in the guests at any social function. He affirmed that n lany of his own students had less fiair on their heads than they should have. “There is no question but that the human race in civilizat ion is tending to become hairless, toothless and eight-toed,” he declared. "Look about you. The time will come when the man, woman or child with ten toes, hair and teeth will be a curiosity. “The natural man needs heriixas a defense and protection against the struggles of primitive life, against blows, heat and storms. We with our hats and civilization do not need it. People with a scant supply of hair tend to die out among primitive peoples, but in civilization they tend to increase. ‘There is one ray of comfort- for those who fear the change. T here may be a reaction which will lead to a more natural life. For insta nee, there might be societies for the prevention of the elimination of the little toe.”

Judge Hanley Praised By LaPorte Newspaper.

Judge Hanley returned Saturday evening from LaPorte, where for more than a week he conducted the trial of Dr. J. H. William Meyer, who was charged with having caused a criminal operation on a young married wqman which resulted in her death. The woman’s name was Florence Greening and she formerly lived at Chesterton, where she was a member of an excellent family. Dr. Meyer claimed that her condition was self-inflicted and that he simply did what he could to save her life when she came to him in that condition. The case was bitterly fought, the leading doctors of LaPorte being called as witnesses and the leading attorneys being employed in the defense. z ’ . ‘

The jury after being out fifteen hours returned a verdict for acquittal. The LaPorte Argus-Bulle-tin says about the instructions read by Judge Hanley: “Judge Hanley read long instructions to the jury and it was the general opinion that the list submitted was eminently fair and the jurist was complimented for the way he handled this phase of the case. Some instructions given by attorneys for both sides were refused the jury'but the list covered every detail of the case.”

Harvey Myres and Louie Kimmel to Have Match Here.

Harvey Myres and Louie Kimmell, the latter from Cedar Lake, are to meet in Rensselaer for a wrestling match, and the time and terms are to be decided tonight when the men will meet to sign articles for the match. Kimmel came to Rensselaer on the 11:09 train this morning, expecting to be met at the train by Myres, but Myres understood that the meeting was to take place this evening and in a telephone communication with Kimmel said that he would be here on the 6:20 train to close all matters for the match. Myres lives at Parr. He and Kimmel" met at Cedar Lake on the evening of Feb. 4th and each secured a fall. The third fall was in progress and had gone 7 minutes when it was stopped to permit Myres to catch his train home. The wrestling game had practically died out here since the matches of two years ago, but Myres is a local favorite and it is probable that he will draw out a good crowd in his match with Kimmel, which will be held at the Ellis Threate some time during the next two weeks.

Trial of Ben Kahn for Arson Proceeds at South Bend.

MEXICAN SITUATION REMAINS UNCHANGED

Government Continues Plan of Concentration and 10,000 Troops 2 Are to Be in The Mexican situation seems to have changed but little by reason of the killing of Madero and Saurez. In the United States the act is considered just what might have been expected from the traitorous Huerta but officially the explanation of Huerta to the effect that the men “were killed while trying to escape” has been accepted. Ambassador Wilson has wired to the state department that in the absence of other information the story of the provisional president is accepted at the embassy. It will not be surprising if Huerta orders the lives of those taken who were in charge of Madero and Saurez, just as a bluff, although it is generally believed ’that he caused them to do the killing. Ambassador Wilson urges that the people of the United States withhold judgment and avoid getting unduly excited. < It is said that in Mexico City the Mexicans simply shrug their shoulders when the matter of the dual murders is discussed. They are afraid to say what they think. The United States continues to concentrate troops at and near Galveston, Texas, and the 23rd regiment left Fort Benjamin Harrison, near Indianapolis, this Tuesday morning. The other regiments of the 4th brigade, being the 26th at Forts Wayne and Bradley and the 27th at Fort Sheridan, will leave some time today. The sixth brigade, composed of the 11th, 18th and 22nd, stationed at Fort D. A. Russell, Fort McKenzie and Fort Bliss was also ordered. The quartermaster and a few men were left at the posts as a guard. The families of the officers also remained behind. i Some complications along the border caused Governor Colquitt, of Texas, to send four companies of national guard to Brownsville, and fearing that they might injudiciously cross the border, U. S. troops were sent there to restrain them. It was reported at Loredo, Texas, that threats had been made against the U. S. consul at Nuevo Laredo. Consul Garrett, stationed there, had caused the arrest of a number of persons who are alleged to have been conducting a hold-up game. A Mexican saloonkeeper named Parra is said to have threatened to kill him. At Sauz, near Jaurez, 95 volunteers were executed Monday because they had expressed Anger at the killing of Madero.

Governor Wilson has signed the “seven sisters”—the seven bills the New Jersey legislature has enacted to remove from the state the reproach of being the home of all legalized monopolies. They express the views of the president-elect as to reform in New Jersey, and were drafted with the aid of eminent judges. The purpose of Governor Wilson, he has stated, has been to amend the statutes of the state “in such a way as to provide some responsible official supefvison of the whole process of incorporation and provide, in addition, salutary cheeks upon unwarranted and fictitious increases of capital and the issuance of securities not based upon actual bona fide valuation.” For many years the corporation laws of that state have been notoriously lax; a New Jersey charter has been almost a license for the doing of anything and everything by a corporation. Governor Wilson, before his election in 1910 and constantly thereafter; has sought a change The legislature however, has been indifferent to the subject until recently, the chief excuse offered for the old System being that it brought much revenue to the state in fees for the granting of charters. It will interest everybody concerned with the problem of corporation regulation to see how these acts operate. Perhaps New Jersey has set an example for other states after having been so long delinquent in this matter.
