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.
