with some of the leaders of his party
H. congress. He was in the executive
offices shortly after o'clock, and
had attacked the mass of CORES
pOndence and hundreds of letters that
have reached the White House during
the last few days.
The cabinet, ready for another spe-
cial session today, was prepared to
consider appointments of bureau
heads.
The first white house visitors to-
day were Senators Culberson, of
Texas, and Tillman, of South Caro-
line. Former Governor Glenn of North
Carolina, came later, and Chairman
Fitzgerald, of the house appropria-
tons committee, followed. Chairman
Fitzgerald has a question regarding
legislation to talk over with the pres
ident.
Later in the east room, Presiden.
Wilson was to meet Chas. F. Murphy,
the Tammany leader. Mr.. Murphy was
expected to come with eight other
New Workers, and it was not proba-
bic that the president would have an
opportunity to hold a private con-
ference with him.
White house officials announced
today that the president had decided
to hold regular cabinet meetings on
Tuesdays and Fridays of each week,
as has been the custom for many
years. Many special sessions, however.
are likely to be called before April /.
when congress is to convene in extra
session.
Former Governor Glenn, of North
Carolina, called to congratulate the
president. The two men were class
mates at Davidson College, North
Carolina, years ago and played on the
same baseball team. 1t was recalled
today that on the last occasion of
their meeting, which was in Indiana
during the campaign, Mr. Glenn push
ed through a crowd and said to the
democratic candidate:
Hello, Tommy" and the future
president replied.
Hello, Bob!"

timer" Mr.. Glenn was asked
No. laughted the former governor.
II called him, Mr.. President"
Colonel Robert Ewing, democratic
national committeeman from Louisi-
ana, was another caller. He came to
| invite the president to attend the
Louisiana State Fair next November.
Mr. Wilson told the colonel he in
j tended to remain in Washington al
i work, doing very little travelling. at
least during 1918.
Il told the president l hadn't come
to ask for the appointment of any
body Colonel Ewing said to inquire
ers, and suggested he would proba-
bly, be glad to see somebody who did
not want something. The president ad-
rlitted he was"
Representative Fitzgerald talked
with the president about half an hour
and said later that they discussed only
general subjects. No decision has
been reached, he said, as to whether
the house should appoint an approprf-
atoms committee and draft a sundry
civil appropriation bill to take the
place of the one vetoed by Mr.. Taft.
1t is possible that new sundry
civil bill and that an Indian appro-
priation bill will be introduced into
the special session without going
through the hands of the appropria
tons committee
The president stopped receiving
callers shortly after II o'clock when
the cabinet arrived for the daily ses-
sion. All the secretaries said the meet
ing was to be of organization, and
that they expected daily sessions UNI

departmental appointments and the
