CONGRESS LIE* 10
IJOUKTOBER ID
Extra Session Will Begin Novem
ber 11, For Consideration of
Ship Purchase Bill
By Associated Press
Washington, D. C., Sept. 30.—Fur
ther conferences were held to-day be
tween Democratic leaders in Congress
on the plan providing that the House
take three-day recesses, that Congress
adjourn by October 10 and meet again
in special session November 11. Con
sideration of the ship purchase bill
would be the purpose of the extra
session. The plan is approved by
President Wilson.
It was thought Democratic Leader
Underwood wou'.d be able to present
to the Republicans to-day some defi
nite adjournment or recess plan and
announcement by Senator Kern,
Democratic leader in the upper house,
as to the feeljjig of that body in the
matter of considering the shipping
measure at some particular date in
November, following the elections,
also was looked for. Members of Con
gress have been told by Mr. Wilson
that he wanted the war revenue tax
bill and the Clayton anti-trust meas
ure enacted into law before adjourn
ment. The first of these bills has been
passed by the House. A filibuster is
being conducted against the anti-trust
bill, which is in the form of a con
ference report, in the Senate, but no
trouble is anticipated in the House.
The rivers and harbors measure, ac
tion on which the President also
urged, to-day awaited his signature.
Complaint has been made by many
members that, they were compelled to
remain in Washington while their op
ponents in their districts were hard
at work campaigning. Included In
the plan proposed is a suggestion by
the leaders, that regarding salaries,
the docking of members who are away
except for illness, be disregarded dur
ing the recesses.
Harrisburg Boy Now
Mourned in Scranton
I'l'iinU ( ami) Was Prominent in Man}
of That City's Activities
Frank Oaum's death in the midst of
vigorous manhood has been a great
shock to the friends of his youth in
Harrisburg and his former comrades
in the. City Grays, lie left this city
a few years ago to assume the. man
agement of a street railway company
in Connecticut, but for some years
lie had been general manager of the
Seranton Railway Company. His
death resulted from an acute attack
of appendicitis. The Seranton news
papers pay him tribute and on the
day of his funeral all the cars on the
system stopped live minutes and the
conductors and motormen remained
at their posts with heads uncovered.
The funeral services were attended by
men prominent in the city's industrial
and business life.
Mr. Caum is referred to as "one
of Scranton's best known and most
intluentlal citizens." The Caum home
was tilled with floral tributes sent by
individuals and organizations. Reso
lutions were also adopted by the or
ganizations of street railway em
ployes. with whom Mr. Caum was
very popular. Organizations like the
Seranton Board of Trade sent floral
tributes and expressions of their
sorrow. He is spoken of as one of
Scranton's favorites. The directors
and officers of the Anthracite Trust
Company, with whom Air. Caum was
closelv affiliated during the past few
years, attended the funeral in a body.
One of the influential newspapers
says Mr. Caum was in Seranton but
a short time when the people began to
appreciate his unusually well-devel
oped democratic spirit, his abilities
as a railway manager and his value as
a citizen. "He was one of the finest
citizens Seranton ever had." says this
newspaper. There were no strikes on
the railway during his management.
lie was prominent in the Board of
Trade and found time to put his shoul
der to the wheel in every important
public activity of Seranton.

REV. ROCKER HI
EMiUS SCHOOL HERO
Has Been Pastor of Steelton Church
Thirty-two Years and Is
Dean of Ministry
After a farewell reception this even
ing the Rev. Or. M. P. Hocker will
sever his connections with St. Johns
Lutheran Church, after a successful
pastorate of nearly thirty-two years,
and will leave to-morrow to assume
his new duties as superintendent of
the Emaus Orphans' Home, at Middle
town.
Until a new pastor is selected to
succeed Dr. Hocker, the Rev. P. S.
Hooper, a retired minister, of Bar
Harbor, 1* 1., will fill the pulpit at
St. John's. Dr. Hocker succeeded the
Rev. M. 1- Ditsler, who retires, as su
perintendent of the Emaus Home.
Since assuming the pastorate of St.
John's Church in July, 1883, imme
diately after his graduation from Get
tysburg Theological Seminary, Dr.
Hocker has been instrumental in in
creasing the church membership from
twenty-five to 650 members.
When he became pastor St. John's
Church was in Locust street and was
a small frame structure. This build
ing was twice enlarged to accommo
date the rapidly growing congregation
and in 189 4 the handsome new brick
edifice at Second and Pine streets was
built. A few years later the parson
age was built so that now St. Johns
Church holds real estate to the value
of *85,000. The enrollment of the
Sunday seho.ol has also been increased
to 750 members.
Dr. Hocker is the dean of the local
ministers and popular throughout the
borough. Among his own congrega
tion there is a deep feeling of regret
that he leaves for his new field and he
carries the sincerest wishes of the en
tire membership for success in his
new duties.

ter Mrs. Thomas Ruby, and five
brothers, John, David, Jeremiah, of
