HIS FRIENDS DEFEATED. May Not Call Session Next March, Putting Off Fight for Year. By David Lawrence. (Special Correspondent of The Evening World.) WASHINGTON, Nov. 9 (Copy- right).--The American people voted into power on Tuesday a new Con- gress, but it may be December of next year before the Senate and House will be organized in accordance with the wishes of the electorate. Unless President Harding calls a special session when the present Congress goes out of office on March 4 next, the country will have to wait until December, 1923, to see in action the Congress elevted this week, and the chances are that tho Presidential primary campaigns of 1924 will be in full swing before the new Senate and House get down to work. In fact, the two national conventions in June, 1924, will be held after only one ses- sion of the new Congress in which the majority and minority parties cun make their respective records. Mr, Harding has called a_ special session for Noy. 20 of this year, but that is merely to speed up the present Congres and give it an op portunity to dispe of ship subsidy and other important legislation bet the regular session begins in Dec - ber, which runs by Jaw only until Mareh 4 This short session will not afford much opportunity for anything else but routine appropriation. bills, and the big Republican majorities which were swept Int office in 1920 will control both Houses unill March 4 The President may find himself compelled by the pressure of public opinion to aummon the new Congress withia a month or so after March 4, 1923. Woodrow Wilson lost both the nate and House in the autumn of 1918 and need not have brought Con- Bress here until Dec., 1919, but he called a special session shortly after the Demoecrata relinquishel their con- trol on March 4, 1919. The big question for the politicians to decide Is whether it will be better for President Harding and the Repub- lican party to postpone the beginning of the new Congress until the regular session in December, 1923, or to enter the fray sooner. With the narrow majority in Senate and House, Mr Harding will be face to face with the task of driving Congress his way or being driven in every direction by the legislative branch of the Government He will not be uble to count on as much help as heretofore because the “bloc" aystem of government will be in full swing, The Republican losses in Congress have been vital. Conservatives have been defeated, and if Democrats have not taken their plac radleal Fe publicans, which Is to some extent even more disturbing, have triumphed and will be a thorn in the side of any leader who attempts rec tion or harmonious party organization The possibility that Senator Henry Cabot Lodge will resign the Keput n¢ can leadership is being widely dis cussed here, Mr. Lodge's health re cently has not been good, and the truth is it will take a younger and more vigorous personality to deal with the rebellions in the Republic: Party which are bound to come out f the Western membership. Even enator Underwood, the Demoeratte leader, wishes to resign the minorit leadership because he is unequal the strain physically With the el tion of He tative Mondell, Republican lea the House, it looks as if Rey ve Nicholas Longwoith of ©.

Sixty lives, endangered at 1.80 A.M. to-day by a mah who either may have been seeking vengeance against a policeman or who may be A pyromaniac, were saved by Mra, Jessie Berotti's nightmare at No. 752 Westchester Avenue, Bronx.

Berottt replied it was her im- agination and advised her to try to go back to sleep. To humor her he went to a front window and saw a man wearing a long, dark overcoat and a cap disappear rapidly in 156th Street, Noticing a glow under his door, Be- rott! opened it and saw against Po- Nceman Fraher's door a big blaze, Ho called Charles Goshen, another enant, and they tried to put out the fire with buckets of weter but failed Then they went through the house, aroused the sixty tenants and led them to tho street. In the meantime somebody had sent in an alarm, and.ans no one knew there was a fire except those inside thé house, the police belleve the flretug himself may have turned it In after starting the blaze “to see the engines In action."
