PRESIDENT'S PROCLAMATION Would Hav Called Member To gether Earlier Than Date Set If He Had Thought They Could Have Organized Before That Time. Washington. President Wilson Wed nesday called Congress in extra ses sion on April 2. The purpose of the extra session is (o take action on the state of war which admittedly exists between the United States and Germany. To Consider Grave Question. In hi proclamation calling Congress together the President state that it Is for the purpose to receive a com munication from him concerning "grave question of international policy." The proclamation doe not state specifically that the President con siders a state of war exists, but leaves the question for discussion in his ad dress and for action by Congress. President's 'Proclamation. The President' proclamation fol low: "Whereas public Interests require that the Congress of the United States should be convened In extra session at 12 o'clock noon on the second day of April, 1917, to receive a communica tion by the executive on grave ques tions of International policy; "Now, therefore, I, Woodrow Wil son, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim and de clare that an extraordinary occasion requires the Congress of the United States to convene in extra session at the Capitol In the city of Washington on the second day of April, 1917, at 12 o'clock noon, of which all person who shall at that time be entitled to act as members thereof are hereby required to take notice. "Given under my hand and the seal of the United States of America the twenty-first day of March, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hun dred and seventeen, and of the Inde pendence of the United States the one hundred and forty-first" When the President addresses Con gress he is 'expected to show how a state of war actually has existed for some time because of the unlawful aggressions of German submarines. Congress i expected formally to de clare a state of war existing, vote a large sum, probably half a billion dollars, for national defense, and clothe the President with authority to use the armed forces of the United States, as it empowered President Mo Ktnley to deal with the menace of Spain in 1898. Such action would not be a declara tion of war except In a technical sense, and whether the United States and Germany actually go to war In the full est acceptation of the term will depend on what the Imperial Government does before Congress is assembled or after It acts. Much to change the President' pres. ent intentions or the course of the government in the crisis may develop before April 2. The first American armed ships will by that time have reached the war zone. The ruthless destruction of one of them unquestion ably would be an act of war. On the other hand, sinking of a sub marine by one of the armed merchant men probably would be met as an act of war by Germany. Even the arming of American ships with the avowed purpose of defending them against U-boats may be declared such an act In any of these events practically nothing would remain except for Con gress to acknowledge a state of war existing from a certain specified date. United Statee Will Not Declare War. The next 10 days, until Congress meets, will be day of tense anxiety, of eager waiting and watching, fraught with possibilities of tremendous conse quences to the United States. President WllBon ahd his advisers in the Cabinet and In Congress have TELEGRAPH TICKS. Railroad congestion and what should be done to eliminate it was discussed by the National Wholesale Lumber Dealers' Association at Pittsburgh. Ten Cleveland retail coal dealers were indicted by the county grand jury for violation of the anti trust law by combining to fix coal prices. Two hundred and fifty young men applied for enlistment at the Boston Navy Yard. EXTRA SESSION CONGRESS OUR WOftRlES? cat to save our wild Wrdfc New Item. no Intention that war shall be declared by the United States. By the hostile act of German submarines they be lieve the Imperial German Government Is actually making war on the United States, and that it shall be recognized as such a state. To meet such a con dition the armed forces of the country and all the national resources are to be put In a state of readiness. Then whether the nation shall enter the war in Its full sense will depend upon how much further Germany carries her acts of aggression. In every sense, war, If it actually oomes, will be a defensive war, free from ambition of spoils or territory in which the United States, the Presi dent has publicly declared, shall want nothing for itself, and shall seek only to preserve the rights of civilization and humanity In auch a situation the United States might even become an actual participant in the hostilities on the European continent without becoming a political ally of any of the Entente powers, simply casting its weight of men, money and moral influence Into the battle against a common enemy. Ports of the United States probably would be opened to warship of the Entente navies; credits from the vast stocks of gold, food, munitions and other materials might bo extended to all the Entente powers. The Amerl can Navy probably would co-operate with the British and French navies In clearing submarines from the seas. NEW RUSSIA RECOGNIZED. Ambassador Francis First To Extend Congratulation. Petrograd. The United State is the first nation to recognize formally the new Government of Russia. Am bassador Francis made a preliminary call on Foreign Minister Mlluqoff im mediately upon the receipt of Instruc tions from the State Department at Washington.

S. PREPARING FOR WAR Will Agree To No Negotiations Until Germany Declare It Purpoee To Abandon It Ruthles Sub marine War. Washington. American Consul Mahln, at Amsterdam, cabled the State Department that the American steamer Healdton, sunk by a sub marine Wednesday off Terschelllng, Holland, wa torpedoed without warn ing and that 20 of the crew were drowned. The Consul's dispatch follows: "Standard oil ship Healdton, from Philadelphia for Rotterdam, cargo oil, torpedoed without warning 8:15 even ing of 21st 25 miles north of Ter schelllng, Holland. Twenty of crew drowned. One died of injuries. Other taken to north of Holland. Sub marine Been after torpedoing." The linking of the Healdton add another grave chapter to the story of war. waged against American shipping by Germany to be laid before Con gress by President Wilson at the special session be has called for April 2. The Healdton was unarmed, having left port before the President author ized the Navy to furnish guns and gunners to merchantmen. Her fata serve to heighten the profound inter est with which the government and the public awaits the time when an American vessel prepared and ready to send a shell into a hostile sub marine on sight will enter the war zone. To Ignore Mediation Move. Washington. No offer of mediation from any source will be entertained by President Wilson, except on the condition that Germany abandons her present ruthless submarine warfare. Nor has the report of an impending declaration of war by Germany made any impression on the President This, in short 1 the reply of the administration to the efforts that are being made, unofficially at present to sound out this government if it will entertain any suggestion from neutral sources for mediation between the United State and Germany previous to the meeting of Congress, when a declaration of the existence of a state of war between the United State and Germany will be promptly adopted. Overtures from the Swiss government through Dr. Paul Rltter, the minister in Washington who took over German interests when Count von Bernstorff was given his passports, will not be encouraged. Indeed, It ha already been diplo matically Intimated to Dr. Rltter that any effort on his part to stem the course of events will be futile, and therefore, any plans his government may have might as well be abandoned In advance.

SAYS FEE SYSTEM IS DISGRACEFUL Representative J.' F. Wood ward Astonished to Find It Prevails in Ten Counties WILL ATTEMPT TO STOP IT Under Thl Plan a Sheriff or Warden Who la In Charge of a County Prison la Allowed a Certain Amount for Feeding Prisoner. -Harrlsburg. "The fee ytem Is a disgraceful form of graft and should, be abol ished entirely and Immediately," said Representative James F. Woodward, chairman of the Appropriations lou mlttee of the House of Represent tlves. "I had been under the Impression," he said, "that the fee system had been eliminated long ago In Pennsylvania and I wa amazed to find that It still prevails In ten countle of this Commonwealth. I shall do all in my power to hava it done away with. Under the "fee" system a Sheriff, or warden who is in charge of a county prison is allowed a certain amount by the eounty for feeding his prisoner. The average dally amount allowed for each Inmate of the Penn sylvania jails which retain the fee system Is thirty-three cent. But the amount actually spent by the Sheriff or warden in no case, it lsalleged, exceeds ten cents a day, and is usually much less, running as low as six cents, The quantity or quality of food to sustain a human being for twenty-four hour that can be bought for six cents can be readily Imagined. Prisoners are complaining that they are being starved. Some who have been Inter viewed have lost heavily, In weight as a result of the system. The fee system permits the Sheriff to have as his own the difference between the thirty-three cents a day and the amount be actually spends for the prisoners' food. Thus Sheriffs get rich at the expense of their wards, It is estimated by the Pennsylvania Prison Society that the ten sheriffs or wardens of the "fee" system prls ons In Pennsylvania reap a harvest of $41,000 annually from feeding their prisoners. They receive other fees in large number. They get no salary and are compelled by law to recognize the feeding of their prisoners as one of their means of "livelihood." The county generally provides them with specious quarters In the Jails, where they live with their families. The ten counties retaining the "fee" system are Bucks, York, Erie, Lycom ing, Washington, Blair, Franklin, Lawrence, Mercer and Northumber land. Representative Woodward did not restrain his Indignation that the "fee" system should still be in vogue In Pennsylvania. "I do not favor hlgh-claes hotel menus for county prisons. I think, so long as prisoners are given wholesome food and enough of it to keep them in health, that they are getting all they deserve. But I am absolutely opposed to a system by which sheriffs or warden take advantage of them and make a living by taking part of the money the country appropriates to feed the prisoners. It is contempt ible. If the county thinks well enough of prisoners to give thirty-three cents a day for their keep, then they should get thirty-three cents' worth of food. Personally, I am sure that the aboli tion of the fee system and the pur chasing of food by contract would re- ault In a taking to the county and an Improvement in the fare of the prisoner . Chairman Woodward is opposed, however, to the Hess bill by which it Is proposed to establish six indus trial prison farms In this State. He was opposed to the saddling of any more Institutions upon the State. He is In favor, however, of any measures looking toward the employment of prisoners In county Jails. Mr. Wood ward's position, with regard to the ex penditure of State money to build pris on farm will very likely be upheld It Is expected that a bill abolishing the "fee" system in county prisons and certain other form of abuse will be introduced into the Legislature at an early date. Gretna May Get $160,000. Plans whereby an appropriation of $160,000 made for the encampment of the National Guard of Pennsylvania last year, but used because of the Guardsmen being called into Federal service, can be reapproprlated to make Mt. Gretna one of the finest camps in the country will be worked out by Governor Brumbaugh and chairmen of the Legislative Appropriation Com mittees. Democrats Demand Report. Democrats in the Legislature de mand a report from the Economy and Efficiency Commission upon the need for and the services of the 208 at tache of the Senate and House repre sentatives who are drawing in salaries a total of $35,662.67 a month. It is charged that there is little or no neces sity for the employment. of most of these men, and that in the case of some of them they do not even come to Harrlsburg except when the time rolls around to collect their "pay" from the State Treasurer. Drug Gang In Toll. The police believe that In the arrest of Myer Lane, of Philadelphia, In Read ing, they have the missing link of evidence that will bring about numer ous arrests among members of an .al leged drug syndicate. The police raid ed a half dozen resorts here, and caus ed the arrest of Lane. According to a statement made by Chief of Police J. E. Wetzel, the narcotic drugs come from a New York factory, and are distributed from Philadelphia.
