PRESIDENT IS COMPLACENT Senators Pessimistic Over Agreement's Adoption. ACTION MAY BE FORCED Though Taft Has Never Said He Is petennined to Call Kxtra Ses sion, He Has Not Said Will Not, Say Senators He WASHINGTON. Feb. 11. Members of Congreaa would like to know whether they are to be permitted to break ranka on March 4 or whether they must linger In Washington for an indefinite period to act upon the Canadian reciprocity agreement In ex tra session. There Is foundation for the report that President Taft views with entire complacancy the solicitude of members of the Senate on the sub ject of an extra session. Several of the Senators who feel there la no chance of the approval of the agreement at the present session hold that this view Is not shared at the White House. Tart Wllllnc for Vote. The President haa met all pessimistic predictions with the suggestion that lie Is willing to trust the agreement to a vote. He haa never said, for publica tion, that he mould call an extra ses sion If such a vote was denied, but Senatora have failed to obtain aesur- nce that he would not do so. Th McCeJl bill to carry out the pro- rlalona of the Canadian agreement, having been reported to the House from the waya and means committee. probably will be brought up tomorrow. mmediate consideration will be asked, f an agreement to that end la ordered he supporters of the bill will seek a rule for limitation of debate and Inhibi tion or amendment. Palxcll May Oppose. In view of the Republican domination of the committee or rules, headed by Representative Palzell. of Pennsyl vania, who, as a member of the ways and means committee voted against re porting the bill.

GOOD ROADS BILLS UP TODAY Business of House in Most Congested Condition. HANDS OF CLOCKS TO STOP Both Houses Will Forget Time of Day or Xlght to Close Cp legis lation Required Senate's Work Is Well Vp. STATE CAPITOU Salem. Or.. Feb. 11. (Special.) Confronted with a volume of buslneaa that deflea the physical capacity of 90 men to transact advis edly, the Oregon Legislature tomorrow enters on the concluding week of its session. The 40 days, of which the session consists so far as the pay of its members Is concerned, expire at midnight Friday, In reality giving only five more working days. As In former sessions, however, the clocks In the two houses will be stopped shortly before midnight Friday and both the Senate and the House will remain In session for the transaction or busi ness until late Saturday. The business of the House is in a critically congested condition and only miracle can prevent severy meas ures from falling to receive cJnsldera tlon. In the Senate better progress has been made In the consideration of leg islation and the desks are in good shape. Tomorrow Is the last day either house can consider measures origlnat lng in its own body without consent of the other house. This finds the House with 135 House bills to be disposed of In one day. Good Roads Vp Today. Thla Is practically an Impossibility even should the House remain In sea. sion until midnight. Under a special order the House Is to take up the good roads bills at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. Indications are that the greater part of the forenoon will be consumed In their consideration. This will mean that several of the 13S HouRe bills will have to. be passed up for lack of time to consider them, and they will die in the House. With the exception of perhaps a score, all of the bills pending before both houses, and particularly In the House, are of minor Importance. Tet they serve to Impede the progress of the Legislature in its consideration of more meritorious legislation. The se riousness of the congested condition of the Legislature is apparent when it is said that none of the Important meas area of legislation presented at this session has passed both houses. There are not less than ten such measures. Four Measures Fassed. Of these, only four have been passed on by the Senate, viz: Good roads, eight-hour law, publlo utility commission and state purchas ing board. Further consideration will have to be given by the Senate to the good roads bills, which, if they pass the House, will be amended and must be concurred in by the Senate. Of the others, the eight-hour law and the public utilities commission measure are In House committees.' The eight hour bill will be favorably reported from tne committee on labor Indus tries, but it will be vigorously fought on the floor of the House. Malarkey's public service commission bill will be considered Jointly tomorrow by the House committee on railroads with the Fouts b'll. The former probably will receive the Indorsement of the commit tee. The state purchasing board bill Sheriff Overhears In Barber Shop Mining Incident, Which Leads to Dead Prospector's Friend. LOS ANGELES, Cal.. Feb. 12. It was a little thin and fate that gave Alfred Marquis, formerly of Montgomery, Ala., to the police to answer the charge of having murdered in cold blood the man with whom he had made many trips Into the desert in search for gold. A1 tiny speck of gold ore of peculiar shape and hardly bigger than a man's thumbnail weighed him down in his flight, and he was arrested yesterday afternoon by Sheriff Buck, of El Centro at Long Beach, Cal. In the blazing sun.. January 29. trackwalker's wife near Glamls, a little California town north of Yuma, Ariz., found the body of a man. naked save for a shirt. Later her husband discovered the missing clothes, hidden under a pile of sand near the body. In the pockets were letters showing that the dead marl had been James G. Spann, whose mother now lives In Montgomery, Ala., and number of specimens of gold ore. The dead man had long been well known as a. mining man around Tuma. Sheriff Buck took up the trail. For a time he was at a loss, but at a barber shop In Tuma he overheard a conversa tion that gave him a clew. The barber was complaining that he had grub staked a miner who disappeared. The datea given were the same as those of which Spann was known to have been killed. The description given by the barber waa of a different man from the dead miner. One thlnjr only tallied. A sample of gold, no bigger than a man's thumbnail, had been shown the barber, It was enough. Buck began looking for Marquis. Luck favored him once mora. Marquis wrote the postmaster at Tuma to forward all mall to Long Beach, but the Sheriff went instead and the arrest followed.
