A Xj CHANGE IN DATE First Move Made in Senate for Amendment to. Constitution. MAKE IT END OF APRIL Senators Weary of Shivering In March Blizzard Bailey Scolds at Senators Who Reveal Secret Proceedings. WASHINGTON, March 6. A propo sition to change the date of the inau guration from March 4 to the last Wednesday of April was made by Sen ator Depew in the Senate today. The proposition was in a resolution proposing- an amendment to the Constitu 'tlon, which was referred to the cora xnlttee on privileges and elections. ; Depew'o resolution was introduced as '-an amendment to the Constitution, prodding- that the 62d Congress and the .term of office of President and "Vice president shall continue until the last .Wednesday of April, 1913. at noon. An amendment . to the same' effect rfwa the principal subject discussed by :Th . few members of the House who r'were at the Capitol today. It was sug srested that Congress adopt a resolution 'during the special session requiring tbe various Legislature to ratify an amendment to the Constitution which i would provide a date for the inaugur ation on which the weather would be more pleasant than March 4-has been Xound to' be. A resolution ' of inquiry, introduced y Gallinger and agreed to, directs the Secretary of State "to procure all available information relating to the practice of foreigners selling goods in this country at a price lower than the domestic price set." and to communi cate this information to the Senate. The Senate, after being in open ses sion eight minutes, went Into execu tive session to consider nominations. Among those taken up were William "o,.jr., to te collector of the Port f New York, and Beekman Winthrop, to be Assistant Secretary of the Navy. The nominations were confirmed. Before this action was taken. Bailey made a protest against stories which were printed concerning the executive session of yesterday, when he suggested that Charles Nagel. of Missouri, might be Ineligible for the office of Secretary of Commerce and Labor if he had been in terested as counsel in a auit against the Waters-Pierce Oil Company, which litiga tion is still pending before a Federal court. Mr. Bailey made an extended speech criticising sharply the publication of alleged Inaccurate stories of executive sessions and lecturing persons who may have given out information concerning the sessions. The matter was referred to a committee of live. A committee was then appointed to wait upon the President and inform him that the extraordinary session of the Senate was ready to adjourn. There being no further communication the Senate at 2:17 P. M. adjourned sine die. Many Changes In Oongresn. WASHINGTON. March 6. Th j ehanges te the Republican membership of the Elxty-flrst Congress caused quite a shifting about. Soma' of the Republican Senators, because of the uneven division of parties, have been seated in what is known as the "Cher okee Strip," a portion of the Demo cratic side on the extreme right of the Vice-President. Senators Cummins, Borah; Page, Brown, Btiggs, Bourne. Burkett, Dixon and Guggenheim, who had occupied seats there, were given an opportunity yesterday to remove to the Republican side, where they are now seated. Senator Elkins moved to the front row on the Republican side, occupying the seat of Senator Piatt. HOPE rOlt SOUTH 1 7RV TAKBS Secretary Meyer "Will Endeavor to Keep Naval Stations Open. WASHINGTON, March C As a result of appeals to President Taft and Secre tary of tho Navy Meyer by Southern Senators and Representatives, the first business to come before the new naval secretary was the reconsideration of the order, closing the. navy-yards at New Orleans and Pensacola. It was stated that the new Secretary would Investigate the facts. RO PAY FORGETTING TOOLS FIU3EBERS MAX OOMJECT OXIST lOR WORK DOSE. Judge Morrow Decides Only Time Actually Spent on Job May Ho Charged. Plumbers are entitled to collect pay only for the time they actually put In tinkering with disordered plumbing. The time spent loitering about waiting for cars while responding to a call may not be entered on the plumbing bill. At least If It is entered the victim may refuse to pay and win out If suit Is brought in the Circuit Court. Circuit Judge Morrow has given a decision to this effect in the suit of Linds- & Co. against George Wester gard. The suit was to collect $25 for plumbers' work. The bill was disputed because time was claimed for which no service had been rendered. Judge Mor row said plainly that plumbers are en titled to no pay except for the period of actual work. They must go to and from the shop on their own time. The same point would apply to all me-' chanics, so the Judge said afterward in discussing the case unofficially. The decision is regarded as of considerable importance. Whether or not the plumbing firm will appeal to the Su preme Court Is not determined as yet. NO BAR TO SUNDAY BALL Kansas Solon Kill Bill Prohibiting National Game. TOPEKA, Kan..' Maroh 6. The' House tonight defeated the anti-Sunday baseball bill.

MUST GUT DEFICIT MacVeagh Suggests Necessity of Stamp Act. STARTS FOR WASHINGTON New Secretary of Treasury Is Im pressed With Need of More Money to Ron Government at Growing Cost. CHICAGO, March 6. (Special.) Frank lin MacVeagh, of Chicago, Secretary of th Treasury, today left for Washington to entar upon his official duties aa suc cessor to George B. Cortelyou, having brought his local business career to a close by disposing of his extensive inter ests in Franklin MacVeagh & Co. to his Fon, Barnes MacVeagh. and by resigning from the directorate of the Commercial National Bank. Recognizing the immensity of the tak before him In attempting to reduce the deficit which the Government Is facing hourly and at the same time meet the increased expenses of the Government growing daily, Mr. McVeagh said : "Something must be done to meet the deficit in the treasury. I suppose many people will object to a stamp act in times of peace. Just as others have a rooted objection or prejudice against bonds, but the Government must have money and a plan must be ccvised for getting It. This. I should say, is a general adminis trative question as much as it is a ques tion with the Secretary of the Treasury." WILL NOT ACCEPT FERRY OUFLT TtEFTJSES TO OPERATE ST. JOHN BOAT. Judge Webster Declares Craft Se lected by Officials Is Not Kit for Active Service. An unusual dilemma confronts the St. John officials over the purchase of a ferryboat for operation between St. John and Llnnton. The officials have picked up what they consider a fine bargain the ferryboat James Johns. They seem anx ious to effect the purchase, but under the enactment authorizing the ferryboat. the County Court is required to operate the vessel. And the County Court de clines to operate this particular boat. . The whole St. John Council, headed by Recorder A. M. Esson, was closeted with Judge Webster for a couple of hours yesterday, trying to effect a compromise, but no solution of the difficulty was reached. The St. John delegation wanted to buy the second-hand craft and the Court would not consent to operate it. Judge Webster baaed his objection to the James Johns on the report of N. Welch, a marine engineer, who was sent down in the capacity of an expert to look the ferryboat over. His report Is most unflattering. He declares that the boiler is 23 years old. that the hull and cabins, while new. are of the cheapest and flimsiest material, and that the ves sel as a whole deserves no better rating than third or fourth class. Economy is what seems to appeal to tho St. John ferryboat enthusiasts. The owners of the James Johns are willing to part with It for (15.000. "Cheap at half the price," says the ex pert. And so nothing will r done until th deadlock is broken. For the County Court positively will not operate what Is termed a "tub." As to economy, that is doubted, for Welch says that within a year or two a complete set ot new boilers would be required. The St. John officials doubtless will be compelled to get a new ferryboat or else hunt up a more pre possessing second-hand craft. TO MARK DEWIPSEY'S BRAVE JOHN S. BARNES WIL.! START NATIONAL FUXU. RATE REVOLUTION IS DUE (Continued From First Page.) by water to the Pacific Coast by way of Panama. This fact emphasizes the conditions which will arise upon the completion of tha. Panama canal, obviating the necessity of transshipp ing twice from boat to rail and from rail to boat. Some of the railroads in the West are beginning to wonder if they would not make more money If they were to place the Middle West on something like a parity with the seaboard by charging less rats from the Middle West than is Charged from the sea board.

Proposes to Solicit Subscriptions Among llloHcre of Pugilism tho World Over. SPOKLANE. Wash., March 6. 3pecial.) John 8.
