Washington. March 22.-1t was said, unofficially, at the White House today that President Wilson might return to the United States by May 1, leaving Paris imm ediately after reaching an agreement on the prin- cipal features of the peace treaty without waiting for the actual signing Of the docum ent. An extra session of congress not later than May 15 now is regarded as certainty among of ficials and leaders in congress. Gov ernment departments, by resorting to various expedients, are meeting the situation created by the failure of ap- propriation bills in the last congress, but it is regarded as essential that these measures must be passed before the end of the fiscal year, June 30.

A. F. Adams, New Manager, Is Presi- dent of Kansas City Home Tcle- phone Company-OId Officials of Telegraph Company Have No Fur thcr Connection With Work While Under Federal Control.

Washington, March 22.-Clarence H. Maclay, president of the Postal Telegraph and Cable O., was removed today by Postmaster General Burlc- son.
 The postmaster general issued an order relieving besides MT. Mackay w. W. Cook, general counsel, William $. Deegan secretary of the board of trustees or directors and the owners of the Mackay company's operating the Postal systems from all duties appertaining to the control and oper- ation of service under governm ent control.
 Adams Is New Manager.
 A. F. Adams, president of the Kan sas City Home Telephone Co.,, and a member of the General Telegraph and Telephone operating board, was appointed by the postmaster general to supersede the Postal officers in the management of the systems. MT. Adams presented the order today to Mr. Deegan and immediately took over control. .,
 ..-. Onit iaIs. Were Unruly.
 Mir. Mackay was not in the office at the time.
 An announcement by the post office department says that the order re- owing Messrs Nlackay, Cook and Deegan from the operation of the Postal COmpany's land lines under government control was made nee essary by the fact that since the post office depa rtment refused to grant the compensation asked for by them, these officials have refused or failed to follow out the instructions of tho department in the management of the properties; and failed to put into operation promptly the wage schedule and the hour day; and in various ways endeavored to embarrass and discredit the government opera tion of the wires.
 "The reason for the refusal of the department to grant the cOmpensa- ton asked for was that the sworn statement submitted to the Interstate Commerce commission in behalf of the company placed the net income for 1917 at $117.264, while the sworn statements they made to the wire control board as a basis for com- pensation placed the net income for the same year at $4,4S5,593
