(ijmmtD rucss Lai a id wikb.
Washington, Dec. 6 The second
regular session of the sixty-first con
gress began at noon today, while a
snow storm hold Washington in Its
grip. There was only a meagre at
tendance when' the speaker's gavel
fell In the house, and Vice-President
Sherman called the senate to order.
Only the most perfunctory routine
business was attended to by either
house before the committees were
named to wait upon the president and
advise him that the session had be
gun, and was ready to receive any
communication he might wish to
make.
As usual, the galleries were packed
Washington society leaders, among
them many handsomely gowned wo
men, wearing ocpenslve furs and glit
tering with jewels, crowded la to see
the formal opening of the lawmak
ing machine. When the blind chap
lain, Rev. Henry Coudeu,, of the low
er uoune, rose to make the opening
prayer, every gallery seat had been
filled.
When the prayer was finished
Speaker Cannon asked a roll call to
ascertain whether a ' quorum was
present. '
In the senate Rev. Pierce, the chap
lain, made the opening pr.yer and a
roll call was ordered at Its conclu
sion. For the next few minutes, in each
house, the members paid tribute to
the memory of the members who have
died daring the short summer recess.
The representative passed resolu
tions to the memory of Charles Q.
Tin 11, of .Massachusetts; Walter P.
Brow alow, Tennessee; William W.
Foulkrod, Pennsylvania, and Samuel
L. Gil more, of Louisiana.
In the senate similar resolutions
were adopted In memory of Samuel
D. McEnery, LoulsiaBa; John W.
Daniel, Virginia; Alex 8. Clay, Geor
gia, and John P. Dolllver, Iowa.
The two houses then adjourned,
aa a farther mark of respect to the
memories of decuased members.
Although the present session of
congress will end March 4, and much
of the intervening time will be lost
through the holiday recess, it Is ex
pected that some sharp clashes will
develop before the lawmakers final
ly adjourn. For the next few days It
Is probable that little business will be
transacted. A fight over the speaker
ship may develop that will take up
considerable of the time, but If this
falls to materialize, much timet will be
taken up with routine matters, and
the introduction of numerous bills,
which the length of the session will
prevent being acted upon. The pres
ident's message will be read. Re
ports from the various departmts
will be received. A special message
or two likely will be sent to both
houses; committee appointments will
be made, and then the members will
take recess for the Christmas boll
days. It Is believed that, as a matter of
fact, therei will be little real legisla
tion accomplished before the recon
vening of congress, about January
4.
Both houses convened promptly at
noon. Eighteen -nil nu tea later the
senate had completed Its labors and
adjourned for the day.
The house of representatives ad
journed at 12:46.
The biggest business before the
session is the passage of the appro
priation bills. Besides these, there
are other Important matters, not the
least of which, it Is expected, will be
the report of the special Investigat
ing .committee on the Balllnger-Pln-chot
controversy. With a sharp skir
mish expected when this comes be
fore the house, and with special bills
likely to be presented on ship subsi
dy, the central bank, parcels post, re
apportionment of the United States on
the basis of the new census and the
tariff commission, ' there Is work
enough mapped out for a very long
session. ,
The members are predicting today
that it is not unlikely that President
Taft may find that be will have to
call the second extraordinary session
of his administration.
Some of the older members are
predicting ' that, with all the busi
ness sow before the house ,lt will be
Impossible to complete the appropri
ation bills,, and if this Is the case, a
special session will have to be called.
Congressman Towney, ofMinneso-j
ta, is one of those who believes tbati
the appropriation bills cannot be 1
completed during the present session. !
. "It Is doubtful," said Tawney to
day, "whether the regular approprla-
tlon measures can be passed at the

ing days In the session. With all the
days set stride for special business,
like calendar Wednesday and commit

day, I do not see how we are going

"This is what the- new bouse rules
have done for legislation. There are
only a few days left for regular busi
ness. I think the members will agree
that an extra session Is not Improb
able," ST. LOUIS BROWNS

8t. Louis, Mo., Dec. 6. A new
manager for the St. Louis Browns
will be named at the annual meet

Nelson, according to the little Brit
on. Moran arrived here today to
begin a series of theatrical engage
ments that were offered him afte
he had beaten Nelson In San Fran
cisco a week pgo last Saturday.
"Nelson wus a helpless old man
after the fifth round,"' said Moran.
"I was afraid I would kill him.
Every time I hit him, I felt relloved
that he did not drop over on hU
head. And yet I had to keep hit
ting him la order to win, for Nel
son was game and fought until he
was completely 'In.' Euch time I
punched him I saw Tommy McCar
thy's face Just before the blow land

ended In his death. After the first
knockdown In the elevonth round T
begged the referee to stop the fight."
Moran began his campaign to
