ADDITIONAL VESSELS FOR TRANS-ATLANTIC TRADE Princil Subject Before Yesterday's Meeting of President Wilson's Cab- inet. Washington, April 16.—Means of quickly putting additional vessels into the trans-Atlantic trade and thus ful- filling the prophecy of Premier David Lioyd George of Great Britain that more ships meant victory for the en- tente allies, was the principal sub- ject before today's meetinf of Presi- dent Wilson’s cabinet. As a result a bill will be introduced in both houses of congress early next week, probably Monday, substantially increasing the $50,090,000 appropria- tion now available for the.shipping board giving the board additional authority, so that the bullding of wooden ships and the acquisition of other vessels may be expedited. Legislation also _probably ‘will be proposed by the administration giving the shipping board power formally to take over the German merchantmen in American ports. While it is conceded that the president would have the right to take this step, it is under- stood that a specific act of congress will be preferred. At the request of Secretary McAdoo, the shipping board has detafled ex- gerts to thoroushly examine all of the n merchant ships with the view to their immediate repair, so that they can be utllized promptly.

Legislature Will Not Adjourn Sine Die as Usual. Tt is reported by way of Hartford that there is a likelihood of an extra session of the, legislature being called after it goes out the finst week in June, according to the statutes, Probably all the business before the legislature will be disposed of by the legal end of the session, but it is believed that it will be wise to adjourn subject to the call of the governor rather than sine die as usual. Matters of moment may come up during the progress of the war with Germany whereln action by the gen- eral assembly may be necessary, and in such an emergency it would be an easy matter for the governor to call it together, if it adjourns in June subject to his call.
