PRECEDENT GUIDES
IN CLOSING ORDER

1t was stated officially today that
President Wilson did not order the
closing of the executive departments
today as a special mark of respect to
the memory of former President
Roosevelt. for the reason that his legal
associates had advised him that it
would be a violation Of law to close
the departments in such a case. After
conferriRg with Secretaries Baker,
Daniels and other members of the
cabinet regarding the paying of
proper honors to the memory of the
former President, Judge Polk. acting
secretary of state, oabIed President
Wilson of the laws bearing on the
question and expressed the joint opin-
ion that the closing OF the executive
departments @ was clearly prohibited:
tbs.lseisiativs. ssecutive istssss md Judicial a
appropriation act approved March 3,
1893. It provides specifically that no
public funds shall be used for drap-
ing public buildings In mourning In

President Wilson. was furnished
with copy of the proclamation is
sued by President Roosevelt on the
occasion of the death of former
President Cleveland in June. 1908.
That proclamation provided for dis
playing the flag at half staff on the
White House and government build
ings,, and for suitable military and
naval honors. but did not provide for
closing the government departments
1t now appears that President VIII
son followed the precedent established
by former President Roosevelt in case
of President Cleveland, and used prac-
tically the same phraseology in defin-
ing the honors to be paid to Mr..
Roosevelt
The above is the Official explanation
of why the executive departments were
not closed today, the day of Col
Roosevelt's funeral
Civil Service Bureau Closed.
The civil service bureau, which is an
independent bureau not attached to
any of the executive departments, was
closed today, however. IN spite of the
point about it. The action was due to
Col. Roosevelt's close connection with
that bureau and the civil service
movement generally.
Attention has been drawn to the
fact that President Wilson does not
say where his proclamation about
Col. Roosevelt was DONE" although
known generally that he was in Paris,
France. at the time. The omission,
however. in no wise affects the legal
ity of the instrument, one official
said.
1t is intimated that the procIama-
tion announcing the death Of former
President Roosevelt was signed and
issued at the United States embassy
at Paris, practically territory of the
United States.
