judge John T. Pendleton this*.after
iiwin granted an injunction restraining
;.he Board of Health from tearing down
,ie huge smokestack on the old crema
tory, over which political factions in
At:, nta have been wrangling for many
weeks.
The granting of the order to Alder
,ii McClelland is a nominal victory
for the Woodward forces, and will de
lay the destruction at least until the
r.ayor-elect returns from the West,
. here he has been making a tour of
investigation.
At the same time that the writ
against the Health Board was granted,
■he temporary order against the city
was rescinded. The court pointed out
,i>:.t the order was granted because
the Health-Board wanted to tear down
the smokestack as a menace to life. If
it had sought to condemn the entire
■mt as a nuisance it would have been

I never have. Tomorrow is going to be
the same, too.”
"Why arc you looking so worried,

Tariff Revision.
PRINCETON, N. .1., Nov. 11.—That i
he has finally' decided to call an extra
session of congress to up the
promise of tariff revision after he takes
his seat on March 4 was indicated by'
President-elect Wilson today. How
ever, the governor proposes to continue
the attitude of a listener for a few days
more aj least, though it will not be sur- .
prising if the governor announced his
determination to call an extra session
before leaving for his vacation Satur
day.
W hen the question of an extra ses- '
sion was put to the governor he re
marked :
"The consensus of opinion in favor of
an extra session is veryMnteresting in
deed. I have been much impressed by
it. I have heard very little opposition 1
to the extra session. The demand sot
lan eytrs seswion appears to be nation-’ 5
wide. 1 had fully intended not to an
nounce what I propose to do in regard
to calling an extra session until I got
back from my vacation, but I may have
to do so earlier. However, I want to
hear more expressions on the subject.’
It is known that during the past few
days the governor has received many
letters and telegrams from leading
Democrats throughout the country' urg- |
ing him to announce his decision at
once.
House Members
Map Program
WASHINGTON, Nov. 11,—A poll ot
Democratic members of the new house
of representatives shows a decider
majority in favor of calling an ex
tra session of congress to revise the
tariff.
Leaders of the party’ now in Wash- I
ington declared today that this un- i
doubtcdly would have great weight
with President-elect Wilson, who has
stated hat be is in a -‘listening” at
titude. rhe call for ta.riff revision
they say. will go forth as soon a;
Mr. Wilson assumes office.
So sure are they of this that a
definite program has been mapped
out:
1— Revision downward of the
Payne-Aldrich tariff bill, which was
one of the great issues in the pre- «
election campaign.
2 The continuance of Champ
Clark as speaker of the house.
3 The continuation of Oscar W.
Underwood, majority leader of the
house.
Plans Forming
For Party Control.
Following the a suiance that the
Democrats will control the senate for
the purpose of legislation and the pros
ecution of ordinary partisan legisla
tion. lines are already being laid foi
control within the party. This fore
shadows a sharp struggle between the
so-called progressive element of the
party Jor the control of committee ma
chinery of the upper house.
Rumors of the impending clash
based upon sentiments privately ex
pressed by the progressive Democrats
were supr ted bv the arrival in
Washington of William Jennings
Bryan and the announcement that
I Colonel Bryan w'ould remain here prob.
! ably a week. Colonel Bryan insplr-
I ed and directed the organization of the
I Democratic progressive senators at the
I beginning of the present congress into 1
a combination opposing the election of
Senator Martin, of Virginia, as minor
ity leader.
Congress, after March 4, will be dom
inated by progressives Democratic in
fluence, in the opinion of Mr. Bryan,
who is in Washington on his way to
Florida with Mrs. Bryan, The Com
moner, however, declined to give an
opinion on the extra seasion question ot
to say whether he will accept or reject
a place in President-elect Wllson'a cab
