EXTRA SESSION MAY BE DELAYED WEEK land caused him to reiterate his refusal of capitulation. , Underwood Suggests to Presi dent That More Time Be Given Committee. WILSON ADOPTS POLICY Legislative .Needs and Developments to Be Mot m They Arise Rather Than by Bet Programme as Be suit of Many Requests. 1 WASHINGTON, March 12. President Wilson has decided upon policy of meeting legislative developments as they arise rather than planning; a pro gramme for tUo extraordinary session of Congress. This, It was learned from the Whits House callers today, will be the President's answer to those who are urging- that currency legis lation. Philippine Independence, Alas kan questions and other subjects be taken up in the extra session. The President was advised by Rep resentative Oscar Underwood, the Democratic majority leader, as to the status of the tariff bills being; pre pared by the ways and means com mittee. He learned that the commit tee was making; rapid progress, bat that it might not be ready on April 1. the date originally fixed for the open ing of the new Congress. Week More Recommended. Mr. Underwood thought at least a week more should be given to prep aration. As it was on Mr. Under wood's advice that Mr. Wilson fixed upon April 1, there is no doubt that he will name a later date when Issuing his proclamation. Representative Underwood has been of the belief that tariff reform alone should be attempted at the coming ses sion. As he left the White House Representative Jones, of Virginia, who is championing the cause of Phil ippine Independence. meth'an and sought to Impress upon him the neces sity for some action at the extra ses sion. Mr. Jones secured an appoint ment with the President for Friday, when be will urge Philippine legisla tion. The net Tesult of pressure for action on subjects other than the tariff has been the adoption of a policy of meet ing the legislative situation as it un folds in the new Congress. Tariff Message First. The President will send first a mes sage pointing out the necessity of tar iff revision and will follow this with a series of messages upon specific things which he believes Congress may be able to act upon without unneces- sarily prolonging the session. This course is said to have been approved at today's Cabinet meeting. ; The suggestion that only tariff re i vision be attempted at the coming ses- slon arose from the fear that other ; subjects might becloud the tariff ques i tlon and Interfere with it. Assurances have been coming, however, from va ! rious quarters, principally the Senate, I that the difficulty with the tariff may i not materialize after all. The reorganisation of the Senate, with control of the committees in the v hands of Senators who are in close I sympathy with the Administration, Is ? Haid to be one of the circumstances I- from which the conclusion has been , drawn that the tariff as well as other ) questions may be disposed of without great difficulty. t . It was a day of many callers tor the v. President, and while most of them were members of Congress being con '. suited about patronage questions, some ... talked legislative policies, while others - came merely to pay their respects. Auiong these was "Uncle" Joe Cannon, ex-Speaker of the House, who said ; good-bye to the President before de - parting to his home In Danville, 111. ' With his cigar conspicuously displayed Z in a manner familiar to official Wash- ington, the ex-Speaker stood on the steps of the executive offices, talking to the correspondents who had asked hlm the purpose of his visit. "He's My President, Too" Cannon. "I came to say good-bye to the Pres. Jtlent and wish him well," said Mr. Cannon. "He's my President as well as anybody else's, you knov," The President saw a good many vis ' ltora in the east room, among them Solloitor-Oeneral Bullitt and Samuel " Untermyer, counsel for the money trust investigating committee, but the visits were social in character. For a short time this afternoon the President worked his correspondence, but he soon was outdoors enjoying the Spring weather. The President spied some magnolias In . blossom, observed the growing verdure of the White House grounds and swung into a brisk walk along Potomac drive. Only a Secret Service man accompanied him and at tracted virtually no attention as he strolled through the parkwaya The President returned to the White House at S o'clock, where, with Mrs. Wllsorf and her daughters, he met the diplomatic corps and their wives at tea.

Dispatches from Constantinople say it is believed there that the end of the present week will see either the capitulation of Adrian ople or a desperate attempt by Shukrl Pasha to break through the lines of the enemy. The reply of the allies to the powers regarding mediation again has been delayed and will not be delivered be fore Friday. There is little doubt that before European diplomacy can get to work on the problem, Adrianople will be In possession of the allies.

Murphy read a table of hours con sumed on trips last November. He cited three trips en which he had been obliged to exceed the 16-hour law, one of 22 hours.
