Washington, April 1.—Pursuant
to the President’s call for an extra
ordinary session of the Sixty-second
Congress, the senate and house of
representatives will meet tomorrow
at noon. The President's message
relating to reciprocity with Canada
will not be sent in until Wednesday.
In the senate the routine program
will be followed. Vice-President
Sherman will call the senate to or
der, andi the President's proclamar
tlon calling the session will be read.
A committee will be appointed to
call upon the President and Inform
him that the senate Is In session,
and another committee will similarly
advise the house.
A brief shift of seats in the senate
will accompany the .opening of the
session. Not only will there be
many of the familiar faces that have
seemed fixtures in the upper houew
and be in evidence In many new
faces, but many of the old ones will
appear In the new places.
The greatest change In the seat
ing in the senate will be the wiping
out of "Cherokee stripe"—that
group of seats on the extreme end
of the minority side which have been
occupied for a number of years by
Republicans. That Is due, of course,
to the replacing by Democrats of
Rep blicans In several delegations.

Buffalo, N. Y.,~ April 8.—An echo
of the famous Incubator Baby ease

Mra. Barclay Is the toiler mother
of the child. She was given posses

mother, signed away her rights to
the child, believing it waa another

One of the babies died and she
was told it was her own. Afterward

long legal battle that extended

Through the aid of the Pinkertons
Mrs. Barclay located the baby In

gone there and kidnapped the Infant,
as a result of which she and one of
the detectives were indicted. Later
