WASHINGTON TO HONOR
WOODROW WILSON'S MEMORY

WASHINGTON, Feb. (By The
Associated Press) ).-Although tech
nioality of the law forbids it, the
great executive departments of the
government viii suspend their multi
tudinous activities tomorrow after
noon as an expression of respect for
former President Wilson.
Under an old statute, work cannot
be suspended because of the death
of a former official, but President
Coolidge and his cabinet found way
at today's session to make an ex-
ception TO that requirement. 1t was
decided that no executive order
should be issued by the President but
that each secretary would inform
those under him that nothing would
be required of them after 1890 P. M.
on the funeral day.
Denied the privilege of paying
tribute in a state funeral ceremony,
President Coolidge and his advisers
decided that at least the federal gov
ernment should give homage to its
former chief by standing silent while
his body is consigned to its last rest.
