(By Leased Wire to The Tiroes.) Washington, April 4. Despite a driZ2llng rain and lowering clouds which marred the event, immense crowds thronged the capltol today when the extraordinary session of the Sixty-first. Congress, called by President Taft because the last ses sion failed to pass his Canadian reci procity program, met at noon. Interest in the assembling of the national law makers centered in the face-that the Democrats have secured control ' of the House, after having ooen sixteen years In the minority, and this fact over-shadowed interest In the Senate, in which the Republi cans have also reduced majority. Democratic politician! from every section of the country 'and thousands of visitors descended on the capitoi at an early hour this morning and when the gavels fell in both houses It was estimated taut the crowds in the capitoi numbered more than 10, 1)00 persons. Thousands were barred out of the galleries, whlcJh were packed and ' jammed, with long lines waiting out side, when the big clocks in the House and Senate chambers marked the hour of noon.

Mr. .Clark, took the gavel -for the first time, and ordered the elec tion of House officers,':'.-. who were chosen according... to. the selections made t last Saturday's Democratic caucus. Following this the new members were sworn in. After the ceroraony of taking the oath, drawing for seats began and occupied several hours., There were 228 Democrats to bo seated, a gain of 54 over the last Congress. The Republicans have 100 members, a loss of 65. Meanwhile, in the other wing of the capitoi, an equally interesting BUTTE ELECTS A SOCIALIST MAYOR (Dy leased Wire tqThe Times.)

Vice-President Sherman called the Senate to order exactly on the stroke of noon. . As In the house, the gal leries in the- Semite' were pneked ali motf to Hiifl'orntion. Alter the hen ale had been called to order and Chaplain Pearce iiad delivered t:ie invocation, the new senators, Jl In number, were escorted to the bar of the Senate and the oath of office ad ministered. In the Senate there aw now 50 Republicans and 41 Democrats. There is one vacancy, the Colorado senntorsliip being unfilled. 1 lie sen ators had already been allotted their seats, and therefore no tune was spent, as on the House side, in the mem be is, getting settled in their places. Second in interest to the actual assembling of both houses was the President's message, which was one of the principal topics of conversa tion among senators and representa tives. The message will be finished today and transmitted to Congress at noon tomorrow, it will lie one of the shortest messages ever sent out of tae White House and probably will deal solely with Canadian reci procity. The present Congress is the first controlled by the Democrats In six teen years and the first Democratic Congress ever convened, in extraordi nary session by a Republican Presi den of the United- tates. While assembled specifically by 'President Taft to adopt the Canadian reciproc ity agreement, the leaders' in both houses of the national legislature threaten to throw open the flood gates fov a mass of legislative work whicli may keep Congress in session for nearly six months. Interest centered in the new mem bers of the national body and the abscenco of the old leaders who have reigned for many years.

The interest in the House was only a fractlen of. that in the Senate, whore- chungos even- more radical marked the new personnel of the upper chamber. While the Republi cans are nominally in control of the Senate, t;ie innovations lrom the old conditions were s'o sweeping tuat-. old time attaches could scarcely reconv ene tho beginning of I he Sixty-second Congress to tho close of the Sixty first. Vice-President Sherman, a Repub lican, In his official capacity as presi dent of t;ie enate, faced a body wherein the coalesced forces of the Republican Progressives and Demo crats will likely rule. As in the House, the desks of the senators, old and new, were piled high with flowers, and scores of con gratulatory telegrams piled in upon the national legislators. iu the House before it assembled, more than a hundred of the new members were entirely "green",, as to what they were to -.do, and they were going, here: and there seeking advice from old members concerning the correct manner of deportment while taking the oath. It was not generally known that admission to the House galleries was to bo by means , of card only, nor did the public seem to realize that the doors of the capltol building it self, on the House side, would re main closed until 10:20 o'clock.
