PRESIDENT WILSON SAID TO BE

PLAN.

Washington, Feb. 20.-President
Wilson, it became known today, SIS ser
iously considering breaking another
precedent by not calling the newly
elected senate in extra session on
March s, to confirm nominations Of
cabinet officials. The president is un-
derstood to be inclined not to convene
the senate unless a special session Of
congress is necessary.
No announcement Of the presidents
plans were made at the White House
but it seems to be known among the
presidents confidents at the Capitol
that he was considering such plan,
although it was said he had not who'll

The President, is understood to hold
the view tnat his cabinet officials, ap-
pointed by him, Il reappointed, do not
need confirmation; that their terms Of
Office are unlimited, subject to the will
of, the president himself. s.5
Administration leaders have con-
:cluded, therefore, that all present
members Of the cabinet are to be re-

There was the French brier, which mad accompanied him through col

Just night before last he was looking them over and he and needed thorough cleaning-and just then the Whitsons came to call and he had to put them by. But I remembered what he said. I resolved when I was married to study my hus- bands wishes and please him in all things-so I decided that when Stanley came home for dinner he should be greeted by brand clean array of pipes, They were ali caked up in side. so first I took sharp knife and dug all that out"
 "Oh." groared the long married lady in horror.
 Then" pursued the bride desper- ately. "I put them in a pan full of boiled them! Yes, I did-don't faint! One boils out kettles and muffin tins in cleansing powder, so why not q lot of sticky old pipes? They cer- tainly needed it, judging by their per funnel To be sure, I was. little startled when I removed them from their bath. They seemed coming apart in places and were queer, dull coior-but I glued 'em together the best could and. anyhow, nobody cares what color a pipe is.
 "I showed them to Stanley proudly when he came home-and from the hop into the air he gave 1 thought he was going right up through the ceil- ing into the Whitsons' new rock crys- tai aquarium and that we would have fried goldfish in plenty for dinner. He yelled Woman, what have you done| Just as though he were a Shakespear- can actor getting thousands of dol lars a highland then I can't exact Iy remember the lines that came next"
 Every once in a while he would cease storming to interect explanations of just what I had accomplished. It seems that he had spent the best years of his life in getting accumulated

HER DEED OF KINDNESS

There is not" stated the bride with the air of one at least totally disil- lusioned, "the slightest use in trying to 10 nice things for men, or to sur clare itl My goodness. but I have been deceived in my idea of a hus- Dandi"
 But you'll recover" the long mar ried matron assured her, without the flick of an eyelash at the brides sad news. We all do.''
 The bride shook her head. Not with my dreadful experienced" she protested, hastily searching for her scrap of a handkerchief 'EWhy, if Stanley had cotrc home and found me murdered he wouldn't have acted half so bad or thought of stirring up such a commotion. He was so mad that he actually forgot my existence! At cuee the things he said, If he said them and remembered that I was there while he was doing it I shall have to take forgiving him into seri- ous considerat tion."
 "Fudge," interrupted the long mar ried lady cheerfully. You've either got to forgive your husband, always or get a divorce, so why waste time thinking about it?
 My husband has never but once banged out of the front door when we qusrreled. That was the first time He was so angry at me that he said he wanted only to rush away and never come backi After he had walk ed five miles it dawned on him that there was no place to go but back that when you banged out of the front door of your home eventually you had to sneak back in. which is humiliating. giving the party waiting at home a triumphant feeling that ground ones proud spirit. What did your Stanley do?"
 '1 never saw anything like the way Stanley worships that collection of pipesl" said the bride. If they were set in diamonds and rubies he couldn't fuss morei He had told me about them so many times that I was per fectly we'll acquainted with themi

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS DULL
Lacked the Breadth of Recent Sessions
 Railways Most Active.

New York, April 13-Dullness re- garded in today's market, the total turnover of 495, 900 shares being the smallest of the week. Dealings were covered by the same considerations as those of the past week or two, specu- lative as well as conservative inter estS manifesting an increasing ten dency to await developments at Wash ington.
 Progress of the congressional debate on the proposed bond issue indicated the early adoption of the measure, but the conditions attending its distribu- ton and the allotments of loans to the foreign governments are yet to be announced.
 The many important domestic f1nan- cial undertakings negotiated during the week are disclosed in the local movements of money for that period. forecasts pointinE-to o-an- -actual-cash loss of over 7$50, ,0oes000 without any alteration, however of prevailing rates for time loans. s----s
 Except in the railway division, where trading was relatively most active. the market lacked the breadth of recent sessions, strongest features of the trans -continentals and coalers- Un- ion Pacific, Canadian Pacific, Reading and numerous minor shares raising one to three points. There was an unusual inquiry for the new Rock Islands, Missouri Pacific, Wabash Pre- ferred "A" and "B," Southern Rail way. Seaboard Air Line and Colorado Southern, Delaware and Hudson was again under pressure; but rallied on the brick buying of other rails in the last hour.
 U. S. Steel and other conspicuous industrials. including the usual equip ments and munitions, moved within comparatively narrow limits, with fr regular net changes. Harvesters. fer tilizers and oils contributed more than their usual quota at gains of to all most 5 points and shippings were strong. though losing ground on re- alizing sales.
 Industrial Alcohol. Ohio Gas, Will son Packing and similar specialties and utilities again denoted profession al activity with some of the low priced war shares.
 The general bond list was irregular, including international issues, some of which were slightly higher. with corresponding declines elsewhere. To- tai sales (par vaiue) aggregated s5,- $25.90O
 United States bonds again inclined to lower levels, the coupon 4s losing two points on an actual sale. with re- sessions of 1-4 to l 1-4.
