Works Ten Hours Signs Twenty eight Bills and Resolutions Holds Cab inet Meeting-Sees Lead ers-Calls Governors In Special Session

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25-On tine first day of his return to the capital, President Wilson put in more than ten hours at his desk, signing twenty eight bills and joint resolutions, mak- ing a score of nominations, discussing government business for three hours with his cabinet. and winding up the days work by a conference on the legislative situation with Democratic Leader Martin, at which the president announced his decision not to call an extra session of congress until after his return from Europe.
 Altogether it was one of the busiest days in recent years at the White House.

From then on there was ceaseless business everywhere, clicking of typewriters scurrying of messengers and arrivals of callers, few of whom saw the chief executive.
 Holds Back Attorney General
 Nomination of an attorney general and an address to congress were two questions, said by White House Of ficials to be relegated to the back ground for the present. Several names are under consideration for the cab met vacancy, caused by the resignation of Thomas W. Gregory. who retires from the department of justice, March 4 but the president has not made a selection.
 Whether the president will address | congress is believed to depend upon | the legislative situation. Tomorrow night he will discuss the constitution of the league of nations in detail with members of the senate and house for i eign affairs committees, who will be l his guests at dinner, and the belief is ! growing in official quarters that the president will consider his explana- tions to them sufficient for the time being. With many imperative bills still awaiting action, it is said to be possible that President Wilson may consider it inadvisable to take up any of the brief time remaining of this session by discussing before congress a subject on which his views are we'll known and which will come up for approval or disapproval before a new 1 body.
