SESSION SUMMONED
ON CUBAN TREATY
Date Early in November Likely to
Be Chosen A Treaty Is Ready Ex
cept for the Signatures The Presi
dent, It Is Said, Determines to
Clear Matter Out of the Way of
Coming Congress Session.
By Eicludc Wire from TI,c'Asaocl.itFiI Tress.
Washington, Aug. 12. Advices re
ceived here indicate that President
Roosevelt will call the senate In ex
traordinary session early In November.
Ever since It became evident that
nothing would be accomplished as to
reciprocity with Cuba at the recent
session ot congress, rumors of a more
or less definite nature have been in
circulation that the president would
call an extra session, either of the en
tire congress, to enact Cuban recipro
city legislation, or of the senate, to
ratify, If possible, a reciprocity treaty
with Cuba. During the past week, it
has been stated that it was the pur
pose of President Roosevelt to call a
special session of the senate as early
as September.
It can he stated on authority that he
lias no such Intentions. His time and
that of many members of the senate of
both political parties will bu completely
occupied during September and Octo
ber. It Is understood to be the belief of
the president that a session of the sen
ate held for the purpose of ratifying
n. reciprocity treaty with Cuba would
be much more likely to be fruitful -of
results if it is held after the Novem
ber elections that it it was held be
fore. It Is ussurotl that the question
of the relations of the United States
with Cuba will enter largely Into the
npproaching campaign, and. it is stated
that the president feels the Democrats
will be less likely to offer serious oppo
sition to a reciprocity treaty after the
election than they would before that
time.
A treaty with Cuba practically is
ready. It requires only the finishing
touches and the signatures of Minister
Quesada and Secretary of State Hay
to make It ready for presentation to
the senate.
No definite date, it is understood, has
been fixed upon for the meeting of the
session In November, but that It will
be soon after the election la reasonably
certain. The president, It is said, hopes
to have the reciprocity question cleared
away entirely before ho regular ses
sion of congress.
DIVORCE LAWS A CURSE.

"The Foes of Marriage."

Chicago, Aug. 12. 10. Benjamin An
drews, chancellor of the University of
Nagaski, In a lecture upon "The Foes
of Marriage," at the University of Chi
cago today, declared that the American
divorce laws are so loose that they are
n curse, both upon parents and their
children. Prof. Andrews ulso claimed
that u bachelor has no place in the social
scale, and that to marry a consumptive
Is a crime, Advice to persons intend
ing marriage was plentiful in Dr. An
drews', lecture. "Husty marriages do
more evil to the marriage relation than
.anything else," ho .declared, "Early
marriages ought to be discouraged. No
one should marry before the age of 21
25 Is the best age.
"The ease with which a divorce Is
secured In this country Is the greatest
foe to marriage and, In fact, creates
divorces which otherwise would not
have been thought of. The Injustice
done to the children by u divorce in the
family Is so great that no language
can do Justice to it. No one who has
ever been divorced can pass through
the experience unharmed, With it goes
the best possibilities of a life ot ser
vices to this world never to return."

WHITEMAN
LYNCHED
i
The Missourians Hang Him
and a Negro Side
by Side.
By Kiclushe Wire from The Avoi'iateil 1'res.
Lexington, Mo., Aug. 12. There was
a double lynching here early this morn
ing. A white man and a negro were
hanged, side by side, to a tree but a
short distance out of town.
The men lynched were Charles Sal
yers, white, and Harry Gates, negro,
who were accused of the murder of
George W. Johnson, -a furmer, one week
ago. The two suspects had been ar
rested and lodged in jail to await trial.
At 1.30 o'clock this morning a mob
of between 200 and 300 masked men
stormed the jail, took out the two pris
oners and dragged them to the spot
where the lynching took place. The
town had become very much excited
over the circumstances of the murder,
and the mob included, It is said, some
of the prominent citizens.
The Jailers were unprepared for an
assault In force, and the mob easily had
its way. The jail Is located In the
courtyard, near the centre of the town.
The crowd battered down the door of
the jail and then had access to the
prisoners.
Saiyers, the white man, and Gates,
the negro, were strung up together to
a vtree on the highway while a crowd of
several hundred looked on. When tho
double hanging was over the crowd
quickly dispersed.
Johnson surprised the two men at his
hen-house, a week ago. Before they
were strung up Saiyers made a state
ment to the mob, saying lh.it Gates had
fired the shot that killed Johnson. Sai
yers and Gates wore arrested qn the
day following the shooting, after an
exciting chase. Johnson was one of the
wealthiest and most respected men in
the community, and the feeling against
tho two men was Intense. A mob gath
ered while they were being brought to
town, but was quieted through the ef
forts of the officers, and It was believed
that the men would bo permitted to
stand trial.
Shortly after midnight armed men
came to town by twos and threes, most
of them masked. They massed finally
near the courtyard in which tho county
jail is situated. The mob was orderly
and well directed. The jailor was
plucky and refused to give up the pris
oners. Several of the mob, which had come
prepaied, broke In the outer door and
made quickly for the cells of the mur
derers. It took thirty minutes to cut
through the steel doors. Saiyers was
taken out first, then Gates. Without
further ado and without encountering
any serious objection, tho mob started
with their victims for a point half a
mllo south of the town. There Saiyers
obtained permission to make his state
ment, after which the men were strung
